I’m glad people decided dunkleosteus was shorter and stockier because the art trend before The Dunk Got Shrunk was that dunkleosteus looked completely identical to a great white shark just with bone plates instead of teeth and that’s not nearly as fun as this chunky tuna that probably slammed into things like a fishy bumper car

What does your skin feel like? Is it smooth and rubbery? Scaly? Or perhaps slimy?

Under that thick, plated armor there is a sort of sliminess like that of nearly all fish. I am a bit rubbery, but not quite smooth… I don’t have fully evolved scales either.

I’m trying to get used to my snacks having scales though!!! Scales are really just starting to become a thing and honestly all that new texture does is just make my life harder. It’s a major change and currently i hate it but I’m hungry as can be.

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

How does it feel to be the coolest fish ever most esteemed dunkle sir/ma'am/your fishiness

My homie i am so grateful for all of this support. It feels so amazing because i get to be cool with cool people asking me questions about life.

I am simply a fish, and i am cool because i get to be around cool people and it’s a cycle of feeding each others’ coolness.

I’m emotional so I’m so sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

I am so honored to be a cool dunkleosteus!! Especially when i get to share the coolness!!!

You think William has heard Ballora’s FNAF song?..

it's so funny how da2 is widely considered to be the disgrace of da games and was also made like in a year or something but it still managed to create one of the most popular characters in the franchise. varric literally became da's in-game official narrator. anders has a wikipedia page with a controversy part highlighted. everyone is talking about solas now and for a good reason but his importance to the lore & plot is literally off the charts and he's also a god. fenris made people go crazy like that while being just a guy from a side optional quest you can accidentally skip
