I can’t describe how cute the baby’s current obsession with glasses and mugs is (it all started with seltzer cans, but she’s branched out).

First she sees that you have a drink, and starts staring in longing. Then, if you bring it at all closer to her (even by accident), she starts tipping her head back and reaching out and up hopefully. If you keep coming, she starts her happy panting/laughing, and sticks out her tongue in anticipation.

Once it’s in reach she grabs it, hugs it to her face, and rapturously starts licking/chomping on the edge where the bottom and side meet. She’ll establish suction and really latch on if you let her, which makes great noises in a can. With only brief breaks to try to wrestle it down so she can see inside and potentially drink some of your tea, she’ll keep this up as long as you hold the mug for her.

!!!!!FishTank Weekend 2025!!!!!

Well, all you squidlets and Virguosos welcomed the idea of a FishTank weekend this year - enough to keep the green and yellow flying. Join me (if you'd like) in celebrating all the FishTank things!

"Oh, but Gavii, tell me more," you ask? Why of course.

FishTank? Yes, Fishtank, the name we use in the thunderfam for the brother relationship of Virgil and Gordon.

When is FishTank Weekend? This year it’ll run from Friday, May 16th through Sunday, May 18th. The significance of the date? Loosely calculated as the day between their birthdays, but honestly any excuse 💚💛 I'll set up some posts and QOTDs as early as my Thursday night to launch the weekend for some of you all in earlier time zones.

If you are also participating in The Thunderversary event @thunderversary-rewatch-party, the episodes that week will be: Heavy Metal, Falling Skies, and Ricochet.

How do I celebrate FishTank Weekend? Like last year, we are releasing a series of prompts (see below) in advance. If they inspire you to write or create art to post that weekend, that would be amazing! Fic, Reblogs, Recs, and Art are welcome and appreciated at any time, but especially during Fishtank Weekend. Anything’s welcome, so don’t forget mood boards, music, head canons. Whatever you can think of!

I’m not interested in FishTank: *hugs* totally fine. Our tags this year will be #fishtankweekend and #fishtankweekend2025 if you want to block them. Folks participating - please use them :)

Questions: Reblog, comment, or you are also welcome to reach out to me directly.

Best of luck to you fishwranglers. From experience, I know you'll need it.

Gavii 💚💛

Wiggly Speculative Biology Headcanons

(specifically ones that I designed to be complacent with the backstory established for him in Greyscale, even though I know for a fact that it’s not canon)

I don’t know what the hell I’m doing but I wanted an excuse to talk about Wiggly so here

As established in Little, Wiggly, to this day, has no clue what species he is, other than the fact that he’s the last of his kind and has been more or less his whole life

His relationship with the other Lords is more found family than anything else, hence why they all look so different

It’s pretty much just something he treated as a fact of life for a long time, but also a pretty big source of ego given that he was not only able to to beat fate’s plan for his kind, but also get to the top of the pecking order in the Black and White

It did result in a hidden interest in biology, though, so he could finally figure out some of the unanswered questions he’d had about how his body works

For example! The reason why he has fur is because, as a cold-blooded creature, he needs all the heat he can get

I’m well aware that there’s a good reason why this doesn’t occur in real life, that being that fur would probably make cold-blooded creatures more cold due to having no heat to trap

But there is reason behind this! Almost all other creatures in the Black and White are warm-blooded, and stay warm-blooded for a long while after death due to the tiny residues of magic they all have, so Wiggly and his kind worked their way around this by just eating a whole lot!

He’s easily the second-most gluttonous Lord, next to Nibbly, although he’s a fair bit more picky with what he eats now compared to what he used to eat

(though that’s mainly because of course you would prefer really high class seafood to literal rotting corpses and whatever else he was eating as a squidlet)

Of course, nowadays those instincts don’t do anything give him a belly-well that’s rather marketably squishy, but that shit saved his life when he was a kid. And even if it didn’t, no one who’s interested in living a life without eternal torture dares to call Wiggog Y’rath fat.

The tentacle mouth he sports is an anomaly caused by the sheer amount of power coursing through his body. Beforehand, it was replaced by a simple squid beak that’s still there under the mass.

Aside from the obvious, his kind used it to communicate through a series of dolphin-like squeaks, which slowly devolved into deep, guttural ostrich-y noises as he got more powerful

I like to think that this one time, a short while before the banishment, Webby managed to track down a small swamp occupied by a colony of creatures that were, rather obviously, close relatives of his kind

Wiggly would then go on to deny crying with sheer awe and joy the first time he saw them until his dying breath.

[sac-trained-killer]

I’m an old Navy brat (both parents), from a metro area with a massive military presence including the largest naval installation in the world. I even worked in a local shipyard for a couple of years. We built nuclear powered fast attack submarines and aircraft carriers. Needless to say, I speak fluent Squid. One of my sisters married a squid and had a couple of squidlets with him.

I’m also an Air Force veteran. I was part of the E-4 mafia when that pay grade was called Sergeant and we were considered NCOs. That’s why I also speak fluent Zoomie.

Both dialects as well as what ever the hell Jarheads and Dogfaces speak have a term for this little performance. It’s called a reach around. No, not the basketball move. Look it up.

[cthonyxa]

This is my first shot at making a selfsona/avatar for Cthonyxa. I've considered a lot of different designs for them over the years, but nothing was working out. I kept trying to make a more traditional humanoid representation (with a more squid-like head) work, but it never came together until I scrapped that idea and went with representing the squid in the cute squidlet form I made for my site background. I can always try that iteration later (Cthonyxa can take any shape she desires, after all), but for now I'm going to work on refining this one. My end goal is to not just use her as a pfp, but also to make a PNGtuber/Toontuber (haven't decided which) that I can use for streaming (which I want to start doing this year).

What do y'all think? I'm open to hearing any feedback you may have (now or later), since selfsonas are, by nature, always a work in progress.

Girl and her squidlet <3

[niightravcns]

@reysonsmanymuses asked:

Vert, in true younger brother fashion, looks between Dorian and who Dorian is staring at before looking back at his older brother. "You're staring at him again. Gonna ask him out any time soon?" If the grin he's got doesn't give away his playfulness, his teasing tone sure would.

Dorian startles at hearing Vert's voice, breaking out of his reverie (Seven above, what's with him, acting like a pining lovesick idiot all of a sudden?) to glare at his younger brother, even though the effect is somewhat dampened by the furious blush on the older merman's cheeks.

"None of your business, squidlet." His tone might seem harsh, but the way he pouts makes it all too clear that he's not angry at Vert, just at himself for being caught staring at his crush.

"Beside, who says we're not dating already while keeping it a secret and I'm just acting like I'm pining?" He jokes, chuckling softly before reaching out to gently pinch one of Vert's cheeks, because if there's one thing he's learned it's how to mess with his little brothers in return.

"And I hope you realize I'm taking this as permission to be nosy in return when it's you who gets a crush on someone, brother dear~"
