[j3nnyjams]

a masterpost of 31 of the fakemon I've developed for pokéJAM! the wiki is heavily in development and some mons are outdated so i don't recommend looking at it, but these are most of my favorite concepts that i've personally developed

(cohost / twitter / neocities / mastodon / pillowfort / bluesky)

[nii-chan-tamer]

I love this little cutie. The Facebook page is here. There is another group too called Tater Tot and His Spudbuds. The Twitter post is here.

[kresnikcest]

inspired by spudbud's vesperia post

maybe it's cheating to include NPCs and antagonists but truly, no one here is having a good time (not even nova after chapter 15...)

[thebrackishtank]

Back again with a question and update-!

(Do let me know if I ought to hold back on these lmao, I acknowledge it’s quite much,,)

Moving on from the realm of misinfo and hearsay, what are some *hypotheticals* you might have regarding brackish beasties?

I.e things you suspect to be the case, but have no concrete information for, as of yet

E.g that there exists somewhere a euryhaline Nudibranch or Echinoderm, or that Coastal Cattail Reeds are potentially brackish friendly alternatives to mangroves!

As for update;

Following your naming guidance, I have named Brotato’s contemporaries:

Bromato and Spudbud

Respectively.

They enjoy annihilating crickets and vigorously lunging themselves at floating flake foods.

I am enamored, to say the least.

Feel free to ask whatever! I'm happy to respond as I have time.

A few things I suspect...

I think most if not all families of fish have one or more brackish tolerant species. As far as I've found in research, there are a wider array of brackish tolerant fishes than most realize. Minnows, Glassfish, Gouramis, Rainbowfish, and Tetras - all freshwater aquarium fish generally, all have one or more commonly sold brackish species. Some families have brackish species that just don't get sold much; cardinalfish, sunfish, and needlefish come immediately to mind. I think if you searched hard enough, you'd find more.

Euryhaline (freshwater-to-saltwater) fish are pretty well known - Mollies, Mosquitofish, Sheepshead Minnows, Mummichogs, just a few that are known. But invertebrates almost never are thought of as such. I know at least one - the Volcano Snail, but I suspect there are many more. I also suspect amphibious crustaceans (hermits and the like) are more likely to fall into this category.

I suspect aquatic (vice emersed) plant tolerance of salt, unlike fish, is probably lower with regards to salt than normally suspected. If you wander through brackish marches, you'll not often note many aquatic species of plants present. Algae typically takes over in those areas. Even plants with some tolerance, like Java ferns, sometimes skew lower than their commonly accepted maximums would indicate. I'm not really sure what makes emerged plants (like mangroves) more likely to tolerate salty conditions - possibly roots being hardier than leaves, or lack of competition.

I think I've seen this confirmed (when I did look long ago, it had not been yet), but I'm pretty sure brackish tolerance is a function of kidneys - which doesn't matter a whole lot for aquarium keeping purposes, but I enjoy knowing how things work.

Below the cut is the text from the announcement by his carer Ash Houghton:

"Hey Spudbuds,

I’m honestly not sure how to start this post, but here it goes.

Today, our tiny spud, passed away suddenly in my hands. His energy had been slowly decreasing over the last week or so, and we were hoping it was an illness that antibiotics could treat. He also started showing signs of pneumonia a few days ago, and I had started pneumonia protocol with meds and a nebulizer.

I brought up the possibility of a heart condition with our vet, but Tater Tot was too small to have any tests run on him yet. With how sudden his passing was today, I truly think he had an enlarged heart and it just couldn’t keep up with him. One moment he was walking around and the next he was gone.

This tiny little potato has had such a profound impact on my heart, and I am so unbelievably happy I got to share him with the entire world. What started as me sharing some photos of the goofy new foster I had turned into an entire community focused on kindness, humor and compassion. I am astounded at the reach Tater Tot’s story had, and I cannot express to you just how incredible it has been to see how he has impacted the world.

I hope that his resilience during his short time here continues to inspire people. He was dealt a really tough hand with multiple health concerns, but he didn’t let that slow him down. He showed us that even if we have some struggles, there is always something to fight toward.

I want to thank every person here who has been in his corner cheering him on. It has been so beautiful to watch millions of people around the world unite over the life of one small little creature.

Working in rescue is hard. We put so much love, care, literal blood, sweat and tears into trying to save as many animals as we can - sometimes they just don’t make it, and it is devastating. My heart is shattered. This tiny tot was such a joy to care for, even on the days it was hard as hell. Tube feeding a kitten every day for 6 and a half weeks is no easy task, and I definitely bonded with this guy in a way I’ve never bonded with a foster before. He has left his paw prints on my heart, and I hope he left some tiny paw prints on yours.

I am not shutting down this page even though our little grompy potato has crossed the rainbow bridge. His life has helped bring to light the difficulties of working not only in rescue, but caring for animals with disabilities. I want his memory to live on in the stories of other creatures who are built just a little different from others.

In closing, I would love it if all of the Spudbuds could make a donation to their local shelter in Tater Tot’s honor. Please help his life continue to impact other animals in the world.

Thank you for being a part of Tater Tot’s journey, and for having such a profound impact on me and our rescue. We never anticipated we would build a whole community, but my goodness, I am glad we did.

I will be taking a few days offline. This one really hurt. Tagging admins to watch this post so I can be disconnected for a bit to grieve.

Lots of love to you all,

Mama Bonker"

I am NOT okay… Tater Tot the kitten on TikTok died 😭

[shahananasrin-blog]

[ad_1] Tater Tot, the tiny orange kitten who stole the hearts of many and racked up thousands of fans online, died on August 2 following a brief illness. His passing was announced on Wednesday evening in a Facebook group called "Tater Tot and His Spudbuds." Nearly 44,000 people had been following the antics of the small kitten with malformed legs, wild fur and an ever-present scowl. "I’m honestly not sure how to start this post, but here it goes," wrote Ash Houghton, Tater Tot's foster mother, to the group. Houghton is a co-director of Kitty CrusAIDe, a Salt Lake City-based cat rescue.UTAH KITTEN WEARING TINY SPLINTS TAKES INTERNET BY STORM: 'PEOPLE LOVE AN UNDERDOG'"Today, our tiny spud passed away suddenly in my hands," she wrote. "His energy had been slowly decreasing over the last week or so, and we were hoping it was an illness that antibiotics could treat. He also started showing signs of pneumonia a few days ago, and I had started pneumonia protocol with meds and a nebulizer." Tater Tot, the teeny-tiny orange kitten who delighted thousands of people around the world, died suddenly on August 2. (Ash Houghton)Tater Tot was too small to have any tests done on his heart, she said — but due to the speed of his passing, Houghton believes Tater Tot had an enlarged heart. "One moment he was walking around and the next he was gone," she wrote. "This tiny little potato has had such a profound impact on my heart, and I am so unbelievably happy I got to share him with the entire world," Houghton also wrote. "We never anticipated we would build a whole community — but my goodness, I am glad we did." "What started as me sharing some photos of the goofy new foster I had turned into an entire community focused on kindness, humor and compassion," she said, adding that she was "astounded" at how many people were following news about her kitten.DOG ABANDONED AT THE FRONT DOOR OF ANIMAL CARE CENTER IS UP FOR ADOPTION: MEET LAA-LAAIn addition to the thousands of people in Facebook groups and on TikTok, Tater Tot had inspired fan art, fundraisers — and at least two tattoos. "I cannot express to you just how incredible it has been to see how he has impacted the world," she added.  Tater Tot, who first gained fame in a Facebook group titled "This Cat is G R O M P Y," recently had his splints removed from his front legs. At the time of his death, veterinarians were working to correct his malformed back legs. (Ash Houghton)During his short life of just a few weeks, Tater Tot "was dealt a really tough hand with multiple health concerns, but he didn't let that slow him down," noted Houghton. In addition to his malformed legs — which veterinarians were in the process of correcting with splints, or "bonkers," as they were dubbed — Tater Tot also had a cleft palate.He also had to be fed via tube.  TWO DOGS IN NORTH CAROLINA NEED ADOPTING AMID POTENTIAL EUTHANASIA AT OVERWHELMED SHELTERTater Tot "showed us that even if we have some struggles, there is always something to fight toward," she said. Houghton thanked all those who were following Tater Tot's health journey, saying it "has been so beautiful to watch millions of people around the world unite over the life of one small little creature." Tater Tot had a "zest" for life, his foster mother told Fox News Digital, despite his many medical challenges.  (Ash Houghton)"My heart is shattered," said Houghton. She said that Tater Tot "was such a joy to care for, even on the days it was hard as hell." She wrote, "Tube feeding a kitten every day for 6 and a half weeks is no easy task, and I definitely bonded with this guy in a way I’ve never bonded with a foster before.

[valeria-garza-enjoyer]

At least he doesn’t have to worry about his badonkabonks where he is now :(

RIP spudbud ❤️

Pour one out for the little guy as he crosses the Rainbow Bridge

[jeawrites]

Are you still doing the ratings and prompts? If you are, can I ask for some OhmToonz and SpudBuds?

(Anything for you Anon!! I should really state that everyone of these I do are based on a gta-sorta universe- idk if that was just assumed cause I said it once, but I wanna officialize that in saying they’re all based like that.)

OhmToonz:

I,,, Im a sucker for these two, I’m sorry. Solid 10/10. They’re just sorta fun to write for, and I’m a sucker for writing one-sided attraction stuff with them and just fluff,, they’re great. 

Prompts; “You flirt with me and I thought it was only me, but I just learned you flirt with everyone you meet” or; “Person A meets Person B while they were on a run, and now they can’t stop lapping around just to catch another look.”

HCs;

Ohm’s and Luke’s relationship started off as a competitive type and slowly became closer and closer. 

Luke loves making Ryan laugh enough to where he can see the gap in Ryan’s teeth. 

Ryan hates it, but he loves the fond look Luke gives him, so he doesn’t say anything. 

Usually, Ryan wears a fabric mask thing over his eyes (it makes him feel like daredevil--) but, when he’s doing normal stuff and not being out and about he wears glasses!

Luke loves the glasses look. Luke thinks its cute and he will continue to tell Ryan that.

Ryan is a strong boy. Luke was very surprised to learn that.

He learned it by getting injured on a mission and having Ryan carry him on his back out of the area. 

Luke is strong too, but Ryan was fucking sprinting! He was lifting him like nothing and sprinting! 

SpudBuds:

I’d give it 4.5/10. I’m not precisely a fan of the ship, but I do enjoy writing for them when I do. Plus I still like this one one-shot I did of them so that’s sort of a bias, haha.

Prompts; “We’re best friends but for some reason I can’t stop thinking about kissing you?” or; “Person A is a chaotic god and Person B is just trying to live their life in peace.”

HCs;

Brian and David are both chaotic in their own ways

they both hate each other but not really. They’re just both dumb asses that know all the right ways to poke each others buttons.

Brian has labeled himself a Nogla translater. He understands the gibrish.

In turn, Nogla labels himself a Brian sensor. He can tell when the dude is scheming and he usually joins in on it.

The two hang out a lot and it’s usually pretty chill. 

In public they’re chaotic, but in private they act like the calmest men you’d ever meet.

Both love dogs, dogs are good. Good dogs.

They like animals in general- But dogs. 

If it weren’t for the fact that their group is stupid and they’re not in the house enough, they’d love to have puppies.

Their friend group thinks they act like an old married couple 90% of the time.

       Words:      6443

       Notes:       third wuko fic i ever read; first long one i did. took way longer than expected, because there was so much beautiful detail to absorb. read it, you won’t regret it <3

  I’m Feeling Good (Like I Never Should) by zerohournineam

Wu fell in love with Mako when he discovered Mako enjoyed cooking.                or: mako cooks and wu falls in love with him

             Words:          2697
