[omg-snakes]

I went to the Columbus Zoo!

This sweet Eastern Diamondback was snuggling with two Canebrake rattlers. Allegedly there was an Eastern black ratsnake in there somewhere, too, but it was sleeping elsewhere in the enclosure.

My Unpopular Opinion on zoo reptile husbandry: Just because it's in an accredited zoo doesn't necessarily mean it's the most up-to-date or accurate husbandry. Personally it gives me the ick to see at least four snakes of three different species co-habbed in a single enclosure that has a smaller ground footprint than a recommended minimum-sized enclosure for one single snake... But admittedly I'm not a zookeeper so I assume they know something I do not.

these valentines day cards for scarabia got me blushing, giggling, and kicking my feet fr (also featuring me unnecessarily analyzing them) (i really hope the cards are in the right order i think they are or else everything that i say here will look incredibly silly)

━━━━━━━━━━━━✦ kalim al-asim:

To my dear friend— Thanks for the present! What colorful and sparkly sweets. They look delicious! I just had an idea! How about we eat them together after school? Gifts like this taste better when shared, after all. I'll pick out a good tea to go with them. Can't wait to see you later! ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

To my dear friend— Thanks for the gift! It's flattering to know you picked this out for me! I'll treat you to anything you like in return—food, live entertainment, an item you've been pining after... You just say the word. ...On second thought, no. I'll come up with something myself! Just like you came up with this gift to give me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Hey love, Thank you for that wonderful gift! Getting something like this from you just put a smile on my face! Let me throw you a feast to show my gratitude! After that, I'll take you on a magic carpet ride, it'll be really fun! ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

SO LET ME TALK ABOUT THE PROGRESSION BETWEEN THE CARDS???

on kalim's first card, it's really cute but it also feels just like his usual demeanor where he treats everyone as a friend.

but on to the second card, it looks like he's definitely feeling more strongly enough about you to think "hey let me get you something too!! let me be your genie of the lamp!" at least right before realizing it would be more meaningful to give you a surprise gift as well like you did.

his "dear friend" on the second card is more real this time.

BUT OMG THE WHIPLASH TO THE THIRD CARD

"HEY LOVE" ???? KALIM WHAT WHEN I TELL YOU MY HEART JUST WENT HFDSNSFHDJFDK PLSS HE CANT DO THIS TO ME 💀💀💀 THE "MY DEAR FRIEND" -> "HEY LOVE" PROGRESSION YOUR HONOR HE IS IN LOVE(???) NO IT’S PROBABLY JUST A REALLY AFFECTIONATE TERM OF ENDEARMENT CONSIDERING THAT IT’S KALIM (*denial* *denial* *denial*)

the closest ones (that are available) to doing something similar is jade who goes from "my good friend" -> "my dearest" and vil who goes from "dearest friend" to "my dear"

anyways, the third card is kalim finally wanting to go ALL OUT as a way to show you how he feels about you and how thankful he is. he's literally all about having fun with the person he cares about. making every moment memorable.

kalim's love language is also very much extravagant gifts since he's raised in a wealthy family where everything has been handed to him. that's probably how he got the mindset that gifts are the way to show love and affection because that's how his family did it for him. so the bigger the gift the better he can show you how he feels.

━━━━━━━━━━━━✦ jamil viper:

Hello— I was surprised to see you gifted me sweets. At first I wondered if you were hinting for me to make you something similar... But when I pulled the gift out of the bag, I saw all the details you put into it, right down to the ribbon. It's clear this was a heartfelt gesture. I'll treasure these treats as I eat them. Thank you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Hello— I'll admit it. I'm beyond surprised. I suppose a heartfelt "thank you" is in order. In fact, why don't we meet at the school store after class tomorrow? Hopefully I'll be able to find you something to return the favor. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

Dear friend, Thank you for the gift. To think I would receive something from you... Well, it caught me off guard. I'd like to give you something in return. Hmm... What should it be? What might you like? Why don't you come down to Scarabia sometime and we'll discuss over a cup of tea. ━━━━━━━━━━━━✦

jamillll;;;

on the first card, he was suspicious of receiving a gift. at first he's like "are you just giving me something so i could give you something as well?" until he realized "oh this is legit" and that you��re not expecting anything back. and then he just enjoys it which is hella cute.

on the second card (unlike the last one) he's now like "let me get you something in return because i really appreciate the gesture". here i think he's still genuinely confused that you still decided to give him a gift. but at this point it feels like he's only offering to get you something in return because he feels like he has to just to show his gratitude. kinda like a fair transaction.

it seems that jamil is still like "why me". like, you cared enough to see and acknowledge him to even consider getting him a gift. which i believe is something he's not used to. so he just wants to "return the favor" by offering you to go find something you like :)

and the third card;;;

"DEAR FRIEND" GOT. MEEE. YOUR HONOR I LOVE HIMMMMM

i know for other people "friend" is not on the same level as the romantic "love" but i personally feel as strong with platonic relationships as with romantic ones (if not more) and this hit me HARD.

for the third one he's finally comfortable enough to consider you a friend. but he still sounds flabbergasted that you still even thought of him (and **you** specifically) (like he didn't imagine that you'd even give him a gift).

and now this is less of a transaction but more of like he *wants* to make sure that he gets you something that you'd really like. it's not simply just "hey let's go to the school store and see what's available as a thanks", this time it's "hey i really appreciate that you got me something so let's discuss what i can get you as well. i'll be your genie of the lamp, anything is possible (within reason)"

[jelly-of-many-ships]

So do we know if GO3 is actually gonna start filming today or is it just production stuff? Because Georgia and Anna have posted apparently very recent photos of Micheal & David and their hair isn’t dyed yet.

I joined the fandom only a few months before s2 cam out so idk how any of this works but wouldn’t they need to like make sure the colours are right or something in advance?

[freakwiththeknifecollection]

The sick feeling you get in your stomach as an undiagnosed/closeted autistic hearing friends/loved ones make fun of or talk about "what's wrong with" the openly autistic people you know

[nonsensechemicals]

crying whenever i talk about Cookie9 because all my friends have these interesting and unique theories on them while i take everything too literally and they all just stare at me like “dude… uuugh we r TIRED” <-they dont actually say this they are very kind to me but i can Feel It

[aitsuheart]

so it's apparently delusional to like Soriku

and think they have moments together

but i once saw someone who said Sora and Kairi kissed at the end of kh3

double standards

and not one ship is considered canon either

the most we have is Nomura saying that Riku doesn't like Naminé so he changes the scene so he is not smiling

that is still one of the most hilarious things

[riderofblackdragons]

Ok one thing that rereading the Iliad didn't prepare me for and that I'd apparently forgotten (I read it last before I got a Tumblr, which was 2016ish I think, I reckon I've got an excuse)

And that thing is just how much Helen genuinely despises Paris

Like this whole war could've been over if the Trojans had gone "hey Helen do you want to be here" bc afaik her answer would be "fuck no give me back to my actual husband Menelaus"

The bachelorettes pregnant.

CELIA/CECILIA

Cecilia has the perfect pregnancy at the start. She excitedly tells everyone in town after she discovers she’s pregnant. You’re happy to see her glow during this time. Dr. Hardy has some concerns in the second trimester and places some restrictions on Cecilia’s activity. Her bubbly disposition helps temporarily quell your worries. You soon find yourself having to monitor her around the house closely. Marlin and Vesta are also enlisted to ensure Cecilia doesn’t overdo work there. Cecilia spends the last part of her pregnancy on bedrest, pouting about not being able to do anything.

FLORA

You know Flora is pregnant, but other than her body changing, not much else seemed to happen. She had mild cravings throughout the pregnancy but managed to avoid morning sickness. She does experience food aversions and sends you and your food from the room several times during the pregnancy. Flora spoke in detail with Dr. Hardy after you raised concerns about her working during the pregnancy. With his clearance, Flora worked until the day before giving birth. Flora is not keen on a gender reveal or baby shower but is happy to participate if you want one.

LUMINA

Lumina is calm and practical at the start of her pregnancy. She insists on not telling anyone other than Dr. Hardy until the first trimester is complete. Lumina has mild symptoms but nothing that really impacts her daily life. You find some of her cravings immensely odd. The fridge stays stocked with pickles and ice cream for Lumina. Aunt Romana’s displeasure at the secrecy is quickly forgotten when Lumina agrees to have a baby shower. Lumina is eager to share every movement with you when the baby can be felt. She says she is happy with a boy or girl. Lumina just wants them to be healthy and would love it if they looked like you.

MUFFY/MOLLY

Molly greatly suffers from morning sickness during the first trimester. She also began napping during the day, claiming she was exhausted. Her energy bounces back in the second and third trimesters. You struggled to keep up with her enthusiasm as she constantly changed her mind on how to decorate. Molly insists on a gender reveal party after hearing about them from her friends in the city. While Molly doesn’t go overboard, she insists on dozens of pictures being taken. Your opinions of her city friends change slightly when they host a very thoughtful and grand baby shower for Molly.

NAMI

You find a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom before Nami says anything to you. The redhead kills your excitement by telling you to wait. She doesn’t think the test was accurate and plans to test again. Nami seems dazed after another two positive tests. You can tell she’s excited by the list of names she has weeks later to share with you. Nami doesn’t show any signs of morning sickness or being tired. Her main difference while pregnant is how easily she cries. The first time she startled you was when she began crying at a commercial on the television.

[orions-aether]

excited to have landlords in the sims so I can lock them in disgusting rooms until they die

[smilesrobotlover]

Ok so before I go to bed cuz I wanna distract myself from the pain heres a ramble

I like to consider that Hyrule is pretty timid and shy around people he doesn’t know in LU. He just prefers to keep to himself and to have things quiet and private. However when he gets to know people more and he’s more comfortable with them, that’s when his true personality comes out. He’s sassy and witty and teases a lot, he’s like a completely different person when he’s around people he’s comfortable with. The true introvert experience

[theoneandonlycowboyofthesea]

actually idc I’m fucking pissed about redlyn breaking up just so they could end up in same sex relationships as a bi person I LOVED seeing these two realize that they’re bi but they loved each other and were in a m/f relationship and they just immediately stripped that away again and it just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth

[nervocat]

man.
