Hello

I hope you are having a pleasant day.

I have been interested in animal taxonomy for a while now and would like to spend more time working on it. Do you have any recommendations on sources, et cetera, that could guide me on how to start?

(I cannot figure out how to ask this anonymously, hope that is bot some sort of Tumblr faux pas)

Regards

I'm afraid I can't really recommend much as I don't own any books on the subject and I've learned the taxonomy I do know just by IDing bugs regularly and having to know the classes, orders, families, and genera that I see commonly. I primarily use iNaturalist for IDing and they organize everything there taxonomically which is hugely helpful.

Although even if there are good books on the subject, it's literally constantly changing, so they may become outdated very quickly.

I think if you want to get into it, it may be helpful to narrow your area of interest to at least a class (Insecta, Arachnida, Mammalia, Reptilia, etc) just so it's not such a huge undertaking.

Beyond that, maybe some of my followers have recommendations for resources?

P.S. - You can't ask anonymously because I have anonymous asks disabled to avoid rude messages. But this certainly wasn't any sort of faux pas!

Yeah, stingers don't do shit to metal.... But Mar doesn't know that, he's a slow learner alright (+Ortho intentionally let him sneak closer but let's not tell Mar about motion sensors before explaining first what's a robot)

DRV3 Character deaths and how you would (maybe) perform first aid on them if they were alive when found

self indulgent brainrot post since ive been taking a first aid class all weekend. Should probably say to not trust my word on this, I'm just a beginner and I'm omitting some stuff Rantaro:

Assume a spinal injury and shock due to the blood loss and head trauma. Get dressing and pressure on that head wound (bandage if necessary). If his breathing becomes unstable, carefully roll him onto his back (cspine roll) and give oxygen through a non-rebreather mask, or even manually ventilate.

Ryoma:

Abridging this a bit because uh. Can't really help being eaten by piranhas. Lets say he was just in the water after being knocked out and then was pulled out.

He probably isn't breathing. I believe there is drowning-specific cpr? but I haven't learned it yet. Assume a spinal injury because of him getting bonked over the head and knocked out. Hold cspine, roll him if necessary. If he has no pulse, start CPR and manual ventilation. Treat for shock.

Angie:

Assume a spinal injury due to getting bonked on the head with the floor plank (jeez) and probably also because the stab is on her neck. Keep her in this position, though if she can't breathe, cspine roll her. Apply dressing and pressure to the wound on her neck and forehead. Again treat for shock.

Tenko:

Similar situation to Angie. Assume a spinal injury because of how she got stabbed AND the fact she was stabbed on the neck. Dressing and pressure on the wound, and cspine roll her if she can't breathe. Treat for shock.

Miu:

FINALLY someone who shouldn't have a spinal injury. If she's seizing while in the chair, its probably okay to leave her? but make sure there isn't anything she could hurt herself on. If she falls out of the chair, remove the chair and use its cushions under her (especially the head). Also probably remove the headset (although Idk what the ramifications would be in this VR situation...) There actually isn't all that much you can do for a seizure other than making sure they don't hurt themselves and can adequately breathe, keeping track of how long the seizures are, and keeping them comfortable until you can get help.

Kokichi:

Um. yeah man there's not much you can really do about that

SIR 😃 (u are so gorgeous OH)

life series duos as songs!

2 - mean gills (scott and martyn) - me and the devil by soap & skin

again, song analysis under the cut :)

-(not song related/for clarification) - somewhat hc but i say scott has the widow curse (not grian ik, scott's curse is in the sense that he outlives his allies) which is the black widow spider fucking up the strings and martyns is the swan curse bc he devotes himself to one person and will defend it like hes fucking feral. which explains the feathers bc i really didnt wanna draw a swan!

-and i said hello satan, ah / i believe it's time to go - i like to think that since both of these buddies r super smart and (mostly canonically) aware of the watchers and what goes on beyond the games, they both kinda knew about each others curses when they met and knew one of them would die to the other and only one curse would be broken in the end

-me and the devil walkin' side by side - super similar to the first note- the entire mean gills alliance was doomed and formed more from strategy than actual friendliness (debatable but yk) and both were aware of the other's ability to murder them

-you may bury my body / down by the highway side - i would say this is mostly scotts pov, since i still believe that he knew what was coming for him and knew about martyn's betrayal, this is also shown by him smiling in the art

-see, don't see why / people dog me around / it must be that old evil spirit / so deep down in your ground - kinda tying back to how both parties were somewhat aware of the watchers (the "evil spirit" in the lyrics) and were lamenting about their curses, especially when it came to them both being in the final fight

-(not song related, 2) - i used white hibiscus flowers as a base for scott's crown (its usually js yellow) bc 1. they lived on a fucking beach 2. it symbolizes purity and sympathy which i think makes a lot of sense considering the above circumstances, AND i used the same reddish tone for scott's flowers and martyn's coral crown. i ALSO added a nice beam of light as the lighting this time bc drama and also idk smth smart about being aware/"enlightened" to the watcher's antics

I like it when people sit down to get to know me, and they’ll ask a question, and they realize that I know WAY too much about EVERYTHING.

“Oh- you’ve eaten raw horse?”

“Yeah it gave me E-Coli”

“What’s E-coli?”

*EXPLAINS THE ENTIRETY OF HOW YOUR BODY REACTA AND WHERE IT COMES FROM AND HOW IT WORKS*

“W-wow you know a lot about that- what else have you eaten that’s weird?”

“Uni, which- actually do you know the only edible part of a sea urchin is: *MORE EXTREMELY RANDOM INFO*”

“That’s crazy! Ew- I don’t think I’ve eaten weird things before.”

“Did you know in Japan they eat live octopuses? They started just doing the little ones that fit in your mouth but now they are FULLY eating ones that fight back- which is neat because even after you bite a limb off they- *INFO ON MARINE LIFE SYNAPSES AND THAT OCTOPUS TENTACLES SUCTION IS STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAVE A HICKEY*”

“How do you know this??”

“Uhhh- a Chuckle sandwich podcast, and a lot of experience fishing with my dad, that led to more research. ALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT DOLPHINS FEEL LIKE WET HOTDOGS??? OH AND WAIT TILL YOU HEAR ABOUT THE WAY THEY HALF SLEEP WITH THEIR BRA-“

I talked for an hour.

The way I acquired this completely random and oddly specific/complicated information was by NO NORMAL MEANS.

People have started ASKING me questions about random stuff because they KNOW I’ll know SOMETHING about it

IS THIS MY SUPERPOWER? I MEAN ITS SÚPER ANNOYING TO OTHERS BUT IM SO SMART AND SO DUMB AT THE SAME TIME??? LOL????

I felt like braiding something and had no projects currently on the docket that involve braiding, so I started making a braided rag rug! So far, it’s about a foot by about three inches

[objectum-culture-is]

did you really call objectum a paraphilia? umm..

Anything that isn't liking plain vanilla sex is considered a paraphilia by definition. Thinking freckles are sexy is a paraphilia. Thinking feet are sexy is a paraphilia. Liking anal sex or oral sex is a paraphilia. Do not come at me for using the correct terminology. Thank you 💕
