Debunking My Piranha Plants Are Reptiles Hypothesis 1

So I have speculated before that Piranha Plants are not actually plants but reptiles, and I have seen other people hypothesize this as well. But I am going to debunk this hypothesis as mine is similar to how I debunked the 2 King Boos hypothesis.

So the hypothesis goes that Piranha Plants aren't plants but reptiles because they have skeletons like animals as evidenced by the existence of Bone Piranha Plants and they have teeth. Alongside they have tongues, and some like Peewee Piranha and Dino Piranha have scales. Finally there is the fact that several Piranha Plants hatch from eggs such as Peewee Piranha, Dino Piranha, Mom Piranha, and the Piranha Eggs/Pods.

Now, why are they not reptiles. Well similar to how we can't say the Chaos Emeralds are quartz because our emeralds don't look like that, we can't really call Piranha Plants reptiles.

And many sources confirm they are plants. Aside from the name Piranha Plant their relatives the Pakkun Flower, the Lava Lotus, and Nipper Plants all being plants and associated with flowers. Edit: Nipper Plants are young Piranha Plants.

Piranha Plants have also been called flowers in the OVA, and you have Petey Piranha having flower petals. Continuing on there is the obvious thorns, vines, and leaves that the Piranha Plants are made of. Some actually have multiple leaves with the movie emphasizing these traits.

There is also the Piranha Plants description from the Super Mario Bros. section of the Encyclopedia which refers to them as "man eating plants."

Finally using the Goombario's tattle on the Lava Piranha Goombario uses terms such as buds, flowers, and plant to refer to the Lava Piranha. With all this information about Piranha Plants, their relatives, and how characters refer to them in canon it is clear they are indeed plants and not reptiles.

BEST MARIO & LUIGI VILLAIN POLL!!!

ROUND 1

[one-time-i-dreamt]

My mom got eaten by a giant Venus flytrap in a Walmart parking lot like a piranha plant does to Mario.

[unisnake]

You feeling better now, snake?

Yeah... Never thought I would ever recieve kindness from strangers.

We all need to do good. Like Wolf said, the more kindness you put out, the more kindness you'll recieve.

He is right.

[thepurpbro]

So here's my version of Nabbit lore, I guess. So in this version Nabbit made a heart mask for his mom, then she died from a Piranha Plant, then Mario adopted him, then Nabbit drew teeth on the heart to make it look 'scary'. He's cute, I love him.

[tiredmetalenthusiast]

Terrible lighting but anyway this is Piranha the Venus fly trap! Sent to me from my friend for my birthday next month!

[evilminji]

Oh... my god? Ghost Reporters.

Imagine it. Their office is in the Zone. They literally FEED of hunting for The Next Big Scoop! And Revealing The Truth! Every honest reporter that got silenced for getting a little too close to the facts. The bloody, beating, heart of societies underbelly.

Every Lois Lane that had no Kryptonian to stop some rich and powerful jackals putting them in the ground.

Well Death sure didn't stop THEM! They STILL want answers! But now they have co-wokers. Oh~ and SUPERPOWERS! And best part?

The newly appointed KING is going too and from the living world. That must mean it's okay now, RIGHT? Your majesty? You're not a RAGING HYPOCRITE, aaaaare you? :) 🎤

And... look. Danny knows full well what these piranhas are up too. He's not stupid. But Madeline Fenton raised a lot of things. Fool? Not one of um. That a LOT of reporters with sharp, sharp teeth and bloodlust in their eyes. He wants to half-live.

He compromises. Illusion of control and all that. Yeah, yeah, they all tooootally respect his authority etc. Give them Them Scoop! He, wisely, gets the fuck out of the way. Whoosh! Off they go!

Thats.... probably gonna be a problem. *siiiiiips his morning coffee* But it's not HIS problem. Not right now.

And? Suddenly all these politicians and business leaders are getting fucking AMBUSHED. Oh? You thought you'd get soft ball "aren't I a man of the people. Buy oil!" Bullshit questions? HA! Where were you on June 27th, 1978, at-

And "according to YOUR words, exact quote as follows-"

Just? They BEAT the leader with the STICK. "Oh but you'll lose access". They'd love to see HOW! They can go through WALLS! Answer the question, coward. "Your gonna make powerful enemies!" Oh nooooo, what are they gonna DO?

Shoot us TWICE?

Hey Mr. Family Values! How's the three mistresses your wife doesn't know about?? "No comment"? That's fine. We already have THEIRS. >:D Good luck with your upcoming election!

And like? As newspapers are shutting down and turning clickbait all across the country? This ONE(1) tiny, middle of nowhere town? Somehow has a horrid, horrid, ARMY of Satan's own Reporters. All apparently willing to die for the News. Throwing themselves at dictators and Supervillians alike.

"We see no God here but the Truth" is literally their papers MOTTO.

The damn thing is basicly a BRICK. You get a paperback of news. Entire planet AND THEN SOME. How?! How are they reporting, IN DETAIL, on the break down of talks between two planets 16 galaxies over? Hal says it's accurate. But what Earth paper would even HAVE that information?

And?? The whole town treats this as normal? There are human children, complaining about the weight of papers, because it makes their paper routes a pain in the ass. Soccer moms discussing alien celebrity drama. Farmers muttering over foreign unrest and how it will impact their corn harvest.

Fucking Lex Luthor, clearly deciding to roll with it, coming to sign himself up for a paper. Gaining a new life long Nemesis upon meeting Vladimir Master, whom he decides is both hot and unbearable. Someone is heard shouting "oh god, there's TWO OF THEM!"

And?? Look. Clark isn't MAD. Or JEALOUS. Nor is he in a secret Reporting War with Jerry from the Amity Chronicle. Because that would be petty and childish. He's just SAYING, maybe they should check the place out!

Maybe Jerry is a DICK and deserves it, is all. (Lois stop laughing.)

GAME THEORY: the Johnsons are an Evil Family

during my rewatch of pnf, i have recently concocted the headcanon that the johnson family has a legacy of evil. you know, not like Evil-evil, but the dwampyverse brand of evil that exists more as a career path than a morality system. here's my reasoning for each member

suzy - self-explanatory. she's an evil prodigy and will have a lucrative career climbing up the lovemuffin corporate ladder when she gets older. she's even getting in some good nemesis experience with candace

hildegard - has an affinity for cheating in roller derby. has the personality for it. i also think she 100% views betty jo as her nemesis but betty jo doesn't know what that is.

hawkeye - okay her name is literally hawkeye which is a perfect evil name. she's also very proficient with munitions.

jack - besides jeremy, he seems the most unassuming, but maybe his job at the space lab grants him access to tech he couldn't otherwise use...

annabelle - when doof's (evil) building was being foreclosed, she showed a LOT of interest in it (new evil hq). she also loved the gargoyles (evil decor). AND she had a job in an anvil-hanging factory. who hangs anvils besides like bugs bunny or some shit? cartoon villains. extremely evil-coded activity

nicolette - yeah her stories about swimming with piranhas and other such activities are from a video game. but i think it would be really funny if that was just her cover story. she's actually doing all that shit and telling people its from tomb raider or something and shes stealing jewels as a hobby

jeremy - he's actually the black sheep of the family. he doesn't have an evil bone in his body. his mom and dad tried to get him interested in laser guns, scheming, and spike pits when he was little and it never stuck. but even though he'll never work in the family business, they love him anyway.

is this theory 100% serious? not really...OR IS IT. do i like it and think it's fun? YES!!!

“PIRANHA”

PAIRING: DAD!JAKE SULLY X DAUGHTER! READER, MOM!NEYTIRI SULLY X DAUGHTER! READER

SUMMARY: An ordinary day is interrupted by the wailing of children and someone screaming “she bit me, she bit me” and years in the future the Sullys relive the past.

WARNINGS: non, fluff, mentions of blood and biting, fighting

Neytiri and Jake relaxed in the newfound silence that filled the hut, Mo’at had graciously agreed to take her four grandchildren to the play grounds/ training of “young warriors” for the new parents.

Soon their peace was interrupted by the rustling of the flaps, and emerged was one Jake’s trainee, greeting the Olo’eyktan and tsakarem in the customary way .

“Olo’eyktan and tsakarem, you must come to play grounds. There has been a situation involving your eldest child, [name].” the young warrior huffed as the mated pair stood up at lightning speed.

As they ran towards the play ground, their minds swirling of the most terrible outcomes- [name] having an arrow sticking out of her arm or eye, or [name]’s tiny body broken in several places. But the sounds of Omaticaya child- boy and definitely not one of theirs-yelling words at someone reached their ears.

Quickly the scene came clear to them- a young boy, roughly a year older than you, was clutching his right arm while his parents comforted him and Mo’at was putting a salve on his arm. Neytiri and Jake’s eyes switched to other side where their own children and Tarsem (young boy who hung out with [name]) stood. On both of [name]’s hips rested Lo’ak and Kiri, who were both four. Neteyam, who was five, stood behind his sister.

The boy’s wails finally reached Jake’s ears again once he realized his own children were safe, and now it was clear he was screaming “she bit me, she bit me.”

“Mo’at, what happen here? Who bit the boy?” Jake demanded, pulling everyone’s attention. Mo’at glanced at Jake before her eyes flicked towards you, his eldest child at the age 6.

“Seems like your daughter bit the boy, and wouldn’t let go until she was dragged off of him” she told him and showed him the boy’s arm where sure enough there was your teeth marks tattooed into his skin. As Jake glanced at you, you smiled showing off red at the end of your canines.

“[name] tell me why you did this and then apologize to the poor boy.” Neytiri commanded you, and you quickly explained that the boy Taronyu was bullying Lo’ak and Kiri for their tawtute looks. Lo’ak happily clapped and laughed at the story, as if it was the funniest thing to hear when you said bit him.

Jake couldn’t help but feel proud of you for defending your siblings as you apologized to Taronyu. Afterwards, Neytiri took Kiri and Lo’ak from you, and the Sullies headed home for the day.

On the way, Jake ruffled your braided hair and whispered “I am proud of you, my little piranha.” You glanced up at him, clearly confused as what a piranha was.

[10 YEARS LATER]

The scuffle on the beach reached Tonowari and Jake’s ears, as ear piercing scream broke the silence. When the two dads reached the scene, they were surprised to see the Metkayinas trying to pull a deep blue body off an ocean blue body.

Jake quickly assessed the scene, finding three out of the four eldest also huddled around the two. His eyes darted to familiar body, whose tails and arms were being pulled at by Ao’nung, was when he pieced together the puzzle. Your incredible sharp teeth were sunken in to the Metkayina’s arm, and you weren’t going to let go as easily as 10 years ago.

“[name] let go.” he commanded and you quickly did with red staining your canines. The whole group started off to mauris, all the children getting hell from both respected adults.

“And [name], what the hell was that? Biting someone like a that?” Jake turned his attention to the smiling form of his daughter. You explained that Ao’nung and his goons had harassed Kiri, calling her a freak and once the fighting started you did what you knew best.

Jake hid his smile at your explanation, and later that night he explained to Neytiri that it felt deja vu. The sight of you smiling, teeth stained red, at the thought of protecting your young siblings. You were always gonna be his little piranha.

A/N: this sucks but i love comforting fanfics

[seventeendeer]

uncle iroh is predictably one of the characters I've enjoyed the most on my ATLA rewatch but I hope we never find out what happened to his son's mom. unpopular opinion maybe but that man's got some unchecked misogyny problems and with his family's track record vis a vis women, I can only imagine he fed his own wife to the royal piranhas or whatever bc she said his favorite tea tasted like ass

[rtfics]

It is a busy busy busy week, but I have thoughts.

When did Beej learn English? Especially American English?

What are Wolf Jackson and the Ghoul Squad's guns loaded with? What could they shoot that would stop a dead person?

When did Beej get the dog?

Why are the piranhas on Richard dead? They were eating him; why would they die? Why is the python around the one guy dead? He constricted the guy to eat him, but why did the snake die?

How did the woman with the cats die? Couldn't tell, it went by too fast.

Is Littlest Jane Little Jane's biological kid? I mean, I'm Hapa -- Filipino-Irish -- and my Mom was white and I look nothing like her. So it's possible Littlest Jane is Jane's kid.

It's canon that Beej is capable of love -- he was by his own admission hardened and heartless, but fell for Delores -- and loves fucking.

Could the lights in Jeremy's house be seen by anyone who couldn't see ghosts? Did the trick or treaters see them?

How did Beej feel about Lydia's marriage and pregnancy?

Any and all theories/thoughts welcome.

╰┈➤ Baby Clown || Buggy the Clown x F!Pirate Reader

summary: after suffering a defeat from luffy, buggy was thrown across the place and got stranded on islands. he’s been trying to pick himself up but bad things keep coming one from another, until he came across you.

warnings: maybe like one curse word, buggy being a little brat, slapping, reader is basically treating buggy more of a baby/pet rather than a person.

“GUM GUN BAZOOKA!”

The was the last thing Buggy heard after being throw across the town and sky. He hated how he was defeated by that rubber boy. He was humiliated! Buggy couldn’t wait until the day he gets his full body back and makes him pay!

But it was been days since he’s been stranded on this god forbidden islands!! First he was chased by piranhas, then some stupid bird thing tried eating him which he was spit out quite quickly. And now he was stuck on some island with these weird ass animals. But being on that island wasn’t so bad, he made a new friend and he even tried recruited his new friend to be apart of his crew but he denied his offer which made him kinda upset. But on the bright side for Buggy was that his new friend helped him build a raft. And the second Buggy started to sail off but trouble was after him once again.

A huge sea monster was attack his little raft, Buggy thought he was a goner.

“OH COME ON! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! AHHH.” He yelled out, trying his best to get away. As the monster raised its claw ready to attack, it was shot in the head. And Buggy was covering his eyes ready to die but was shocked when he opened his eyes and to see the monster was dead. And then he saw a ship, and on that ship he saw a very attractive Female.

“She’s hot!” He thought to himself. “I wouldn’t mind getting a piece of her to myself.” He giggled to himself.

As you look at the odd small thing, you couldn’t help but walk towards the the end of your ship and look down at him as he held on for dear life on the broken raft. “AW! LOOK AT HOW TINY YOU ARE, HOW ADORABLE!”

“HEY! DON’T CALL ME ADORABLE!” He yelled out, and he held on the raft. “YOU CAN’T CALL BUGGY THE CLOWN CUTE! NOW DO ME A FAVOR AND GET ME ON YOUR SHIP!”

You look at him and raised an eyebrow. “Buggy the Clown? Hmm nope! Never heard of you.” You say. Looking at him, a smirk spread across your face. “Oh right! You’re the freak with the huge red nose!” You laugh out, and your comment made Buggy’s face turn red.

“HEY! SHUT UP, MY NOSE ISN’T WERID!! NOW GET ME ON YOUR BOAT YOU VILE WOMAN!” As he yelled at you, you couldn’t help but giggle. “Hmm, you’re cute big nose. Fine. Hold onto this.” You say and throw a boat float on the water and began pulling him up with the rope that was attached to it.

Once Buggy was on the boat, he began kissing the floor. “Oh sweet ground!!” He said to himself, and he immediately stopped himself and looked at you. He couldn’t help but blush slightly. You looked hotter up close.

You bent down to height and grab him, holding him up. “Aw look at you! I might you keep you as a pet!��� You chirp out, giggling and making kissing sounds. “Aw! Do you want that cutie!”

He struggled against your hold and snarled at your comment. And all of the sudden he detached his hand and slapped you across the face. “YOU VILE WOMAN! UNHAND ME AT THIS MOM-” He began yelling, but was dropped face first to the floor. “Ugh! Right on my nose.” He groaned, rubbing his nose.

“Ah! You’re a devil fruit user, I just thought you were a freak.” You laugh out, rubbing your face. “Hm. Are you hungry?” You cooed out. “You must be hungry little one.”

“Stop treating me like a baby!” He snapped and all of the sudden you picked him up again and started to rock him back and forth. And he began to struggle but he didn’t notice how close his face was to your chest, and he began blushing. “Fine…” He grumbled out.

You smile and held him close, and began walking to your kitchen and placed him on the table. “You wait here. I’ll make you something.” You and with that you began making him food. And Buggy watched you cook, he couldn’t but grumble to himself.

And after awhile of watching you cook, you set a plate of food down in front of him. “There you go, eat up my little Clown.” You tease out. Buggy looked at the food and he began to eat the food. You sat down on a chair and watched him eat. “So. Buggy right? What happened to you?”

“Why do you care woman?” He snapped back, talking with a mouth full of food. And you giggled as you watch him. “Aw come on Clown.”

“Ugh fine! This rubber guy defeated me…and I lost my crew! So I need to find them…” He said and looked down. And he ate in silence. “Can I have something to drink!” He snapped back, looking at you. “And what’s your deal? Why do you have this boat?”

You nodded and grabbed him a bottle of booze. “Here.” You say and hand him the bottle, sitting down once again and you smile. “Well I’m the captain of this ship, I’m just some greedy lady who wants treasure and nice things.”

And he took the bottle quickly, and began chugging the booze. And after awhile he finished eating and drinking and he looked at you. “Thank you… and a captain? You sure don’t look like one! Unlike me!”

“Hmm then why are you baby size? Hmm?” You say, and he narrowed his eyes. “Shut up..”

Making you smile and you picked him up again and held him like a baby, you placed his head on your shoulder and began patting his back. And he couldn’t help but blush as you did so. “Stop treating me like some kind of baby! I’m a captain for crying out loud!”

“Shh someone is cranky.” You tease him and held him like a baby, rocking him back and fourth. “Shh I think it’s bed time.” You say and walk out of the kitchen and into your private room. And when you walked in your room you keep rocking him back and fourth.

Buggy was throwing a tantrum, but oddly enough you rocking him back and fourth felt somewhat comforting. And especially with a full stomach of food. His eyes began to feel heavy, you place him down on your bed. “You rest up my little clown.”

And he just laid there “Just wait until I get my body back…you’ll pay. You’ll pay for treating me like this..” He mumbled out, yawning.

“Yeah whatever you say ‘Captain’. ”

And with that you began making your way to the door, until he spoke up again. “Where are you going?”

“Oh you know. I have some captain duties and unlike you I won’t lose my body in the process.” You giggle out and with that you walk out of the room leaving him alone on the bed.

Buggy laid there feeling sleepy. “Stupid bitch…she’ll pay for treating me like this..” He thought to himself. And slowly his mind began to drift off. “She’s lucky she’s hot or I would have killed her..”

Day Four- Beach Episode

Lu Legend x Ravio (Ravioli)

Summary: The boys are playing volleyball at the beach!

Word Count: 279 (Itty bitty little guy)

Warnings: One (1) bad your mom joke

A/N: Part two of my mass post! If you see this one first, check out my other two here and here! Enjoy!

Also, I have a beta now! Everyone say hi Izaac! 👋 They're super cool for helping me out, especially since they're not in the LU fandom. Give them some love in the tags!

----

Legend's toes curled in the sand, the coarse grains warm against his skin. The distant sound of waves hushed softly on the shore. His ears twitched at the sound as his fingers gripped the volleyball. 

 “Serve it already!” Hyrule called.

“What's taking you so long, Mister Hero?” Ravio teased. 

“You scared?” Wind taunted.

“I’d be more scared of the face Ravio’ll pull when this serve flies straight for his face,” Legend retorted, settling into an overhand stance. 

Ravio poked Wind with an elbow. “He thinks I'm cute,” he whispered loudly. Wind gagged.

“Please.” Legend rolled his eyes. “You're about as cute as a piranha.”

“Hey! I'm the cutest blasted piranha you’ve ever seen!”

“Would you two stop flirting and start already?” Hilda grunted from behind him. 

“I think Wind might vomit,” Wild pointed out.

“Oh, I'll go as soon as Ravio's ready,” Legend responded lightly.

“I'm ready,” Ravio announced, digging his feet into the sand.

“I don't think you're ready.”

“I'm ready!” he repeated eagerly.

Legend grinned. “Are you sure? I'm gonna serve this ball straight to you.”

“I'll serve this ball straight to your mom's house!” Wind hollered.

Four scoffed. “What are you, ten?”

“Yeah, ten points ahead of you!”

“For the love of Nayru, serve the ball!” Wars groaned.

Legend snorted, lifting the volleyball into the air. He glanced back at Ravio, who batted his eyelashes. 

“Don't faint too hard when it comes for you,” he said. 

“That doesn't even make any sense,” Ravio giggled. 

He smiled. He adjusted his stance one more time before tossing the ball up and readying his hand to send it hurtling over the net. His palm connected, and the match began.

[unisnake]

What was wolf’s mom like, what was her name? Also what was Snake’s mom’s name?

Wolf: I wish I remember what my mother was like, let alone her name... But thinking about her makes me feel warm for some reason... I wish I truly met her...

Snake: Sorry to hear Wolf... Maybe one day we can try to find her?

Wolf: Maybe... But when we organize it with Diane. She could help us.

Snake: Definitely... As for my mother's name... Well... Should I say it?

Wolf: You don't have to if you aren't comfortable saying it.

Snake: Well... Ponders before breathing deeply It's... Catherine.

Wolf: Catherine?

Snake: Yeah...

Wolf: That sounds nice Snake.

Snake: Smiles warmly. Thank you... Wolfie.

Hi! I'm curious to know about your Hotel Transylvania OC's 😁

Get ready for an Infodump below the cut! XD

Lucy and Simon Van Dracula, or the Van Dracula Twins, are my version of Drericka ship children. They're born 13 min apart by Cesarian, and were something of a surprise considering Ericka's advanced age.

Lucy (full name "Lucille") is the oldest, and despite her vampire powers and pride in being monstrous, she takes after her mother and Brother-in-law. She's a chaotic mischievious free-spirited laid back fun-loving charmer, a real little Terror who knows her legendary status and is proud of it. Unlike Dennis or Mavis, though, Lucy has a PRIDE in her monstrosity. She ENJOYS it. In a way, she's something like Ericka's chaotic inner child given voice, and given the monstrosity Ericka and Johnny never got. She's also has far more freedom and social interaction growing up than Mavis, having grown up around both humans and monsters when monsters no longer had to hide...and Ericka's far less uptight a parent than Drac or Mavis, as she wants her kids to have the freedom she never did and she herself was training from a young age. Drac's also relaxed a bit over the century since having Mavis, though he's still the more uptight of the two. I figured him having to deal with a bouncy crazy ball of chaos for a kid would be funny, considering he's not good with chaos XD She's into dramatics and art/drawing, is a natural at languages, and has her mother's skill in gymnastics and martial arts...augmented by her father's vampire powers, of course! Unlike Dennis, she can also hypnotize and has hypnosis resistance, and her animal transformations are fully dark brown like her hair instead of black.

If Lucy is Ericka's inner child, Simon is Drac's. He's sorta what would have happened if Dennis or Drac never got Vampire powers. Like his father, he's on she shyer, quieter, more timid side and is the pragmatic braincell to Lucy's shenanigans. That said, there's something of a "Beware the quiet ones" to him. While his family is loving and accepting, he feels like the odd one out, both due to his lack of powers and unusual chunky size, and has had to work to be scary. Ericka and Drac both went to great lengths to make sure Simon never went through feeling like the "Weak little boy" Dennis did, and since Ericka and Drac aren't as overprotective, Simon's less over-sheltered than Dennis was. Where Lucy is the "Looks like she could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll," Simon inherited his mom's "Looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually KILL you" tendency. And like her, he'll do it either with deadly coldness or a smile. Ontop of this, the boy has a love of sailing and the ocean...especially the more scarier aspects like Pirates, electric eels, sharks, piranha, squid and octopi, and of course...krakens and other sea/water monsters. He also has his mom's love and nerd-dom of weaponry. It's part of his way of being scary. I've also drawn him and Dennis playing with the old "My First Guillotine" somewhat inspired by the scene in the HT2 novelization where Dennis uses the guillotine to chop off an action figure's head and that scene in Addams Family Values with Pubert, Pugsley, and Wednesday. Simon's more into cooking and playing the ukelele in terms of hobbies, and while he isn't as good with languages as his sister, knows a fair amount.

Dynamic-Wise, they're kinda like Ian and Barley from Onward, Wednesday and Pugsley from The Addams Family, Zack and Cody from the Suite Life, or Phineas and Ferb.

Both of them have slowed aging after 5 years old, enhanced durability, strength, agility, and speed (Though Lucy's is of course more obviously powered while Simon's more just beyond average.) They're a bit cooler than normal humans and have slower heart beats. And while they can both day walk, they can still sunburn and are allergic to both garlic and silver. (While Ericka and Drac taught them both to use weapons, they're not allowed to use wooden stakes or silver weapons just in case.) Although none of them are as deadly to them as they would be to a pure-blood vamp.

In terms of culture: James, Mavis, Dennis, and Abraham are the twins' main exposure to human things (esp. prior to school) as Drac and Ericka don't really have experience with normal human culture themselves. Since the Dracula family is Jewish coded and Ericka's family is christian coded, I decided the twins are interfaith, raised with both Christianity and Judaism so both cultures get celebrated without one overshadowing the other. Their Hebrew names are Shimown and Liorit for Simon and Lucy respectively. They're basically Russian, Romanian, possibly Hungarian going off the OG book, and Dutch. I also love the idea where... since Drac largely raised Mavis alone, and these two are twins to middle age parents...I like the idea of the pack helping raise these two. After all, Drac's apparently close enough to the pack for the Werewolf pups to call him uncle and Mavis to call Eunice "Auntie," so why not? Johnny and Mavis are even the god parents of the Twins and often the ones to help out since they live in the same building (and are the best options out of the pack.) They of course know everything about Martha and how Mom was originally trying to kill dad. Drac even made his own storybook saying how they met (The Drac-Tastic read along from the Bluray. "I saw it on a Blu-ray disc. Bonus stuff." XD) I also have a headcanon they're into Goosebumps, especially Lucy. Her favorite is Slappy. Simon also likes 2000 Leagues Under the Sea, and they both grew up with Sesame Street and Blues Clues. (I've been on a kick and hey, they're probably more tolerable than Kakie.) I also have the headcanon Lucy looks up to Johnny quite a bit, while Simon more identifies with Mavis, Dennis, and Frankenstein.

For names: Lucy is named after Lucy Westenra, the first female vamp turned on-screen in the OG book and adapations. Though in universe, Drac named her Lucille, probably from a mix of a female version of Lucifer and it meaning "Little Light." Lucy is a nickname. Liorit also means "My Light." As for Simon, I went with the in-universe idea Ericka simply had ancestor named Simon and liked the name. But in reality, I simply reused a name from an early version of Johnny (and possibly re-used into Ericka) called Simon Van Helsing, who was originally a monster hunter who fell for Mavis after finding the hotel. Simon and Shimown also means "Harkening" which is perfect considering Drac...could REALLY use a reminder to listen to others sometimes. XD

Their inspirations of course are something of a mix of Pubert Addams - both Normal and Addams-esque; Wedneday and Pugsley, Popeye and Bluto, @lovelylivelyv 's Bendy OC Jack Nephalem, Uncle Fester and Debbie, Abraham Van Helsing and the other large Van Helsing bricks + their bucktoothed overbite, Mother Gothel (kinda), Dr. Frankenfurter, Katharyn Hahn, Human!Drac, Vampirica, the HT2 Vamp Kids at Winniepecaca, "What if Drac had a humany son instead of a vampire after what happened with Dennis?", "What if he had a child like Johnny and Ericka?" The promo fakeout for Dennis being a "little terror", Martha art with brown hair, and "We've never seen a female Dhampir." They also kinda bear a resemblance to Pinky (PATB) and Young Man Rivers (Foster's Home.) Though that was unintentional.

I got alot more about these two, but I already stayed up too late and I need to go to bed. XD Will probably reblog with more pictures soon.

Animal of the Day!

Yacare Caiman (Caiman yacare)

(Photo from Animalia)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Northern Argentina; Bolivia; Southern Brazil; Paraguay

Size (Weight/Length)- 58 kg; 3 m

Diet- Fish; Crustaceans; Snails; Mollusks; Mammals; Birds

Cool Facts- Nicknamed the piranha caiman, the yacare caiman sports an impressive 74 teeth. These caiman live in slow moving rivers and wetlands with plentiful vegetation along the banks. While yacare caiman prefer cracking open snails, large males are capable of taking down prey as large as capybaras. Most Alligatoridae have a large amount of parental care towards their offspring, yet yacare caiman moms ditch the nest as soon as her babies hatch.
