#all swell that end swell

#otters get by with a little kelp from their fronds

What do sea otters do when winter storms roll in? Dive in with these wild otters off the back deck of the Aquarium to find out! 🦦🌊

"Do you know what a trope is? A thematic element, you are a apprentice bard, are you not? It's one of my least favorite. Yet, it is where my heart guides me. I want revenge, Dariax, badly. Do you think you can take revenge against the universe? Do you think you can fight back against gods and monsters?"

Prompt 132

So it turns out Danny and Billy share a realms guardian. Not like they knew that until they literally got scruffed and taken through a portal- apparently realms paperwork can take years or even centuries so they actually got really lucky with how much their guardian was pushing. 

Apparently the primordial being of Space and the primordial being of Storm is one and the same and has been… well not throwing a fit but also yes throwing a fit at the Observants and other paperwork beings of the Zone. 

So it’s not the worst kidnapping either of them have gone through, apparently they’re getting a checkup and a crash course in realms stuff?? Oh god what do you mean there’s the equivalent of galas in the Zone and they have to go to them??? Sam/Tim help them! 

On the bright sides, way less attacks on Amity now that a primordial being that literally shuffles around entire galaxies just because is hanging around to teach him how to do things. And when Billy gets found out to be ten he can cheerfully say he has permission from his guardian. The one literally letting them get through space so quickly just because they think the league is neat. In an idle wow yep kiddo that is a funky looking cat we aren’t taking home yep, way.

“Oh, fuck me,” she whimpered when he dug his fingers in unrelentingly against the outside of her hip, pressing until the stiff muscles relaxed.  “I think this might already be a bit too strenuous for you,” he said dryly. “Maybe when you can walk without a limp.”

hey wait listen to me. Consider Grime not knowing Sasha was an Actual Child until after she'd already earned her steel (and done so noticeably younger than your average toadlet did) and thus by toadish traditions was considered ready for adult combat and responsibilities

[nightmarerodent]

Kombat kids and their first words:

Cassie: no one was really paying that much attention as she played with the others in the play pin but everyone heard her yell “I SAID NO!”

Kung Jin: His tiny little baby hands reaching for a steamer basket like it held pure gold. “Bao!” He yells, trying to grab a steamed bun.

Jacqui: Jax was playing with his infant daughter when she reached out to grab his face and happily yelled “Pa!”

Takeda: “C**t!” Suchin was the proudest mom. She was going to raise a badass kid. She will be bragging about this forever.

Frost: Never heard the story of her first words as no one cared to tell her and she never cared to ask. She could remember her earliest thoughts though. “Help”

If I had a nickel for every time a Liam O’Brien pc did a little forehead touch with his love interest in the final fight against the bbeg, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s incredible for me that it happened twice

[pimento-playing-hopscotch]

I love this show and it means a lot to me,

and I feel disappointed and a little bit misled tbh by the choices they have made-

These are two thoughts that can coexist btw

[incomingalbatross]

read a fanfic where Harry several times said things like "I haven't gotten great reviews on soulgazes" and "people who see my soul tend to run away afterward"

and it's very funny because he WOULD say this kind of thing but it is 1000% untrue. like, I don't know what your soul looks like, buddy, but I can say that the categories of "people who soulgaze Harry Dresden" and "people who want Harry Dresden in their lives" have MASSIVE OVERLAP.

thinking about Julie going into hibernation, but also how she was participating in winter activities and was at the Homewarming party.

obv an in-universe excuse is writing inconsistency within the show but nahh. i wanna get sad.

My headcanon is that Julie begins hibernation after the Homewarming party. Right after. And later in the evening it turns into a different party, Julie's Goodnight Party (name in progress).

It's fun, because any party with this rainbow monster's name in it is gonna be fun! but there's an underlying somberness. They eat, play games and talk about everything and anything like the Homewarming party, but it just feels different.

(continues below, sad warning bc I made myself sad)

When Julie starts getting sleepy, the party ends with her neighbors giving their farewells, goodnights, and big hugs.

Frank is the one to walk her home, of course. He brushes Julie's hair, makes sure her and her nest has everything she needs, and stays with her as she falls asleep. But not before they share a big, comforting, long hug filled with every unspoken "I'll miss you" and every ounce of love they can pour into it.

It's the longest Frank has ever hugged anybody. "A hug long enough to get him through winter," according to Julie.

He wished that were true.

Either way he smiles, he smiles for Julie as it's the last expression she sees before finally closing her eyes to sleep.

The tears that later soaked into his pillow are the only secret Frank's ever kept from his best friend.
