Just explained to Google why I don't want to learn about eating my pets after I just bought them a water dish lol

[image ID: a Google user survey asking "How related is the recommended search 'types of crabs' to your other recent searches of 'hermit crab water dish' and 'reptile rock bowl'?" followed by an example of the recommended search content. This example is a Youtube video thumbnail depicting a bowl of freshly cooked crabs and is titled "13 Types of Crabs and How to Eat Them, According to Seafood Experts". End ID]

Take the memory, leave the shell! Watch what happens when we return seashells to the beach & marine hermit crabs!

Seashells are so important to beaches for a whole host of reasons.

🐚Over-shelling can affect hermit crabs because it reduces the availability of suitable shells for them to inhabit. Hermit crabs rely on empty shells of other creatures for protection and shelter. When there are too few shells available, hermit crabs may be forced to inhabit inadequate shells & pollution as homes, which can hinder their growth and make them more vulnerable to predators and environmental stressors. This can ultimately impact their survival and reproductive success.

🐚Shells provide homes or attachment surfaces for algae, sea grass, sponges, coral and a host of other microorganisms.

🐚Animals such as decorator crabs and octopus use shells as camouflage and many fish use shells as hiding places to avoid predators.

🐚Shells help to stabilize beaches and anchor seagrass.

🐚Shells are used by shorebirds to build nests.

🐚When shells break down, they provide nutrients for the organisms living in the sand or for those that build their own shells. (Shells are a major source of calcium.) I’m a firm believer in when we know better, we do better. I once shelled, and then when I learned all of this, I returned all shells that were not sprayed with a clear varnish to the beach & watched the marine hermit crabs go wild changing shells that were so needed!

The Stages of Pet Fish Owners

Pinkie: "Seriously considering having a pet shrimp." Me: "Wasn't it going to be a crab?" Pinkie: "I just want an aquarium! I don't care what's inside. It could be a coconut for all I care. I just want to take care of the water."

Question for those who are educated in crab care! Is howie the crab well cared for? Like I’m sure her mom has nothing but good intent, but walking her on a leash seems a little suspect to me. She is old for her species so her care is most likely immaculate, I just don’t know much about caring for pet crabs so I wanna make sure I’m not consuming something potentially harmful

Hasbro should've hired me I know what the people want and its this

[crabsnpersimmons]

me, last year: a lion dance au would be cool, but ugh, it's hard to draw

me, this year: eh, let's give it a shot.

here are the links to the photos i referenced because NO WAY am i drawing all this without references 😂

one-leg stand

platform jump

resting

lift

the rough beginnings of a new au! if you wanna hear me yap about my ideas (nothing set in stone just yet), it'll be under the cut along with the full page spread

ideas:

the DCA are a trio of lion dance performers, where Sun and Moon are the dancers and Eclipse is the one-man band

Sun and Moon alternate who is the head and who is the tail. When Sun is the head, their routines are more artful and they show off their kung-fu techniques. Whereas when Moon is the head, their routines are more playful and they engage with the audience more.

Eclipse has 4 arms to play the drums, the cymbals, and the gong. (maybe he has more than 4 arms? sometimes there needs to be more cymbals)

characters:

Eclipse is the gentle anchor of the trio. He acts as the mediator for Sun and Moon.

Sun is the sassy theater kid, who's always insisting they practice more to get the routine right. ("Mm-mm! Once more. From the top, With talent.")

Moon is the mischievous little gremlin. The performances give him an outlet, but he's just as mischievous out-of-costume as he is in-costume.

Y/N, the lion handler and, therefore, the DCA's handler (maybe they inherited the troupe or the kung-fu school?)

mmmmmmaybe someone else? i dunno.

dunno if this will be a full AU with a story and everything, but it's a cute idea

I just fucking love how crabs sit! They tuck their claws and legs so adorably, they're practically loafing!

Prompt 197

“Guys look, I got us pet rocks!” 

“That’s nice- Danny, why are the rocks moving?” 

“Ectoplasm. Obviously. They eat bad emotions, isn’t that cool?!” 

“They aren’t going to get that big though, right? I mean, we’re moving to the countryside but still.”

“I mean, they shouldn’t? Dang, maybe I should have asked Dora more questions…”
