hello!

i'm curious if infodumping about my pet frogs will result in a genome of a bug that they could potentially eat (seems more likely than the genome being of a frog).

i have four pet frogs! one is an african dwarf frog named bonk who is an ooooold old man (he's 5, which is the standard life expectancy in captivity for their species) with a genetic deformity on his back right foot (two of his toes are partially fused together! it doesn't impact his life in any way and various foot deformities are common for his species). he is tiny and doesn't eat bugs, but if the genome is a brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or other tiny aquatic organism, he could eat that. ...i guess those are just aquatic bugs.

my three other frogs are white's tree frogs, piphy, ollo, and beeps. they are 4 years old. piphy is my only girl frog. she is large and peach-colored with light blue starlet eyes and is an extremely physically enthusiastic eater; she does unnecessary backflips in pursuit of waxworms held by feeding tongs directly in front of her face. she also loves swimming in their pool, which has resulted in various melodic renditions of "piphy in the pool." ollo and beeps are smaller and a dark brownish green, i think they are genetically brothers! they enjoy being reverse-roosters by croaking when they wake up at night. they are energetic and enjoy climbing my walls and flinging themselves far distances when i let them out of their terrarium for nightly supervised enrichment hour.

bonus: i also have a black racer nerite snail who is the live-in algae vacuum for bonk's tank. her name is ozmi and she is canonically trans (her species is not hermaphroditic, and when i got her i decided she was a girl because i wanted to bring feminine energy into the aquarium, but she has never laid eggs so i figure she is probably trans). she is also 5 years old which means she has outlived the life expectancy for her species like 3x over. she may be immortal.

okay that's all!!! attached photo of piphy in her pool, looking elated about it (tree frogs tend to open their mouths a few times after eating a bug... i am not sure the physiological reason). i find your blog so delightful, thank you for running it !! :)

Made a new yard pot since the ivy outside was blooming. Will probably grab the coffin planter thats currently under this one and do something new with it. I was keeping pennywort in it but one of the bad babies ate it all (animals are generally forbidden from my work desk, but they sneak on sometimes… that’s why all the toxic plants are high display only)… so it’s just sitting there empty.

Yard pots are fun tho, and look quite nice.

I have a headcanon that Hugo is really bad at cooking. Like, the main character is used to his terrible cooking cause they've been together for so long, but everyone else has told him he's no longer allowed to use the kitchen.

I also have a headcanon that one time he had to buy Lulu a new pan cause he fucked up her favorite one when he tried (and failed) to make something special for the main character.

Bernard meeting the Batfam

Bernard looked in his closet for a good shirt to wear to dinner with his boyfriend’s rich family. Tim stared at him-you don’t have to get fancy you know that right?

Bernard is now panicking-yes I do! I’m literally dating Bruce Wayne’s adoptive son! So it’s only right.

Tim let’s out a huff and gets up and pulls out a a white button shirt and hands it to Bernard-here just wear this

Bernard grabs it-thanks babe

Bernard then kisses Tim’s cheek and runs to the bathroom.

—10 minutes later—

Tim knocks on the bathroom door-you ready?

Bernard opens the door-how do I look?

Tim stares in awe-you look really handsome!

Tim kisses his lips then pulls away-lets go

—after 20 minutes they arrived at the Wayne manor-

Tim knocked on the door

Alfred opens the door-Master Tim and let me guess Bernard?

Bernard looks surprised-how did you know?

Alfred smiles-Master Tim talks about you all the time.

Tim blushes-Hey Alfred could we come in?

Alfred chuckles-yes Master Tim please come in.

Once they walk in the first person they see is Dick

Dick smiles and goes over to greet them-Tim how have you been?

Dick hugs Tim-Hey Dick I’ve been great.

Dick then walk over to Bernard-hey I’m Dick Grayson and you?

Dick holds out his hand and Bernard shakes it-I’m Bernard Dowd it’s nice to meet you Dick.

All three of them walked over to dining room and Bernard stares in awe because of how big the manor.

Then Damian Wayne was in the dining room waiting for them so was Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd..wait Jason?!

Bernard Stared in surprised at Jason.

Jason noticed-You got a staring problem or what??

Bernard shakes his head-no sorry sir!!

Tim rolls his eyes and looks at Jason-Don’t scare my boyfriend Jason.

Jason laughs-Haha-sorry didn’t mean to seem like a jerk.

Bernard chuckled-no it’s ok.

Bruce smiles and says-how about you guys have a seat.

they all talk about Tim’s embarrassing times and what Bernard works for.

—After dinner Tim and Bernard head back to Tim’s boat—

Tim flops onto the bed-see it wasn’t that bad now was it?

Bernard lays next to him-no it wasn’t but Damian kept staring daggers at me.

Tim laughs and cuddles next to Bernard-you’ll get used to it.

the dwarf lilies have kinda declined in growth so im being diligent with fertilizing the tank and making sure there's not too many floating plants taking up all the light

God Eater 3 Character Novel | Beginning of a Vow: Chapter 1

[image id: A novel cover. Hugo Pennywort from God Eater 3 is leaning against the bars of a prison cell. He is holding up his hand and looking at one of his armlets as if reminiscing. On the other side of the bars is a faded image of a young Hugo looking off into the distance. The text, when translated into English, reads “God Eater 3 Character Novel | Chapter 1: Hugo Edition | Beginning of a Vow”. /end id]

Even now, the old days came rushing back to me.

I remembered when I was a child in a dimly lit prison, deprived of freedom and treated like a dog.

We weren't given any say, kept alive for the convenience of adults, and disposed of when we were no longer needed.

Sure, maybe we weren't any different from dogs.

But even so, we wouldn't be beat.

No matter how absurd it seemed, we would one day eat away at the chains that took away our freedom and break them to pieces.

That was the vow that connected us as Hounds in that prison.

I'd never forget those days, when we lost so much and gained so many irreplaceable things.

It all started the day I became Hugo Pennywort.

That day when, in the darkness—I found light.
