met a VERY charming lil friend yesterday who i have never (knowingly) seen before!!! 🖤💛

this is the Sequoia Pitch moth (Synanthedon sequoiae), yes, moth! these fascinating little creatures bear an incredible resemblance to members of the family Vespidae, like common paper wasps and yellowjackets, and that’s no simple coincidence!

the appearance of these moths is an example of Batesian mimicry, a type of mimicry where one species mimics the warning signals of another species, but without having the same harmful or undesirable defences.

in this case these moths look like they may give you a nasty sting, but really they’re about as harmless as a moth can be! (plus they have gorgeous slightly iridescent black-lined wings and fluffy little shrimp-like tails! absolute cuties!)

Remi and Swimming

Why can’t Remi swim?

That’s a genuine question. Why does Remi, at seventeen years old, not know how to swim?

After some quick research, I found that being unable to swim is actually way more common than I thought. Still, I want to speculate on Remi’s reason.

The Red Cross lists fear as the top reason people cited for not learning to swim. Other reasons I can think of for not learning to swim are: couldn’t afford lessons, didn’t live near a pool or body of water, disability, or simply never made time to learn.

However, in Remi’s case, I think it’s much more likely because of her ability than anything else.

It could be because her parents wanted to wait until she had better control of her ability before putting her in water with other kids. This of course, raises the question of why she didn’t learn before her ability developed. It could also be that someone in her family had an incident in the water, and the family was very cautious after that.

I personally like to believe that Rei had an ability-related incident when Remi was quite young, and her parents wanted to keep Rei out of the water until he could control his ability better. Because it would be mean to take Remi swimming and make Rei stay behind or on land, Remi’s lessons got put off indefinitely until they were forgotten about.

Of course, this scenario also means that Rei never finished learning to swim either.

I also like the idea that their mom was the one who had a swimming accident, and was somewhat traumatized by it and therefore extremely paranoid about putting her kids in the water. This explanation would also mean that Rei probably couldn’t swim.

I will now kindly place here for my own enjoyment, a reminder that Blyke was the one who taught Remi to swim and it was cute as fuck:

me and the bad bitch I pulled by being nonverbal

[thatrobotkid]

On this day, 20 years ago, the RJ episodes, “House Party” and “School Newspaper”, premiered at 11:00pm on the 5th night of the new “Fridays”

Fun Facts:

The newspaper in the title for “School Newspaper” has a headline of a robot invading a school, and said robot is RJ. This is a reference to how creator, Greg Miller, jokingly said that the show would end with RJ taking over “Terminator” style

In the scene in “School Newspaper” where Principal Madman is in the teachers lounge, Mr. Mitchell (Sickness) and Mrs. Kavendash (Scantron Love), make non-speaking cameos

When RJ breaks into the school at night in “School Newspaper”, he references “Dick Tracy”, a detective character from old 1930s comics. He even dawns a stereotypical detective get-up.

In “House Party”, RJ reveals his middle, and full, name. His middle being “Electro”, and his full name being “Robot Electro Jones”

think it shouldn’t have been legal that my first day of teaching of the year coincided with grey and rain and storms. however! have some very lovely new students, some very enthusiastic returning ones, there’s new cookies in the cafe, and I get to play with pendulums tomorrow, so there are some (many!) positives

[all-panels-of-uraraka]

Not a question but as another ‘every panel’ blog owner (I can’t switch accounts since this is my main but I run the all-toga one ^^) I really look up to you and you’re one of my main inspirations that pushed me towards starting my own blog under that category. You have determination and you put hard work into making sure you post daily and that is admirable to be honest; if you ever need to hear it: I find you really cool and fascinating to be real with you, even if we never talked and I love your personality just basing it off the small things I’ve seen and I can tell anyone would love to be around you :)

Couldn’t find Toga alone but it matches so 😼

You’re really cool (again) and good luck on continuing on with the blog 💗

Oh my god, thank you so much! Ahhh I’m so glad I inspired you, I hope you’re having a good time with your panels blog! I don’t even know what to say to the compliments, this is so nice :)

I like your toga blog too, she’s one of my favs so it’s nice to see someone’s made one for her as well <3 the heart image is very cute also

thinking about model au towa (and body guard madarame)

towa in a corset…. or in a line of lingerie….

sometimes like I think for his job he’d barely keep his health together otherwise people won’t want him

he is really skilled at pre-emptively covering any and all scars/blemishing with makeup —> but once Madarame enters the scene he forces him to do it for him as a sort of push and pull

Edit: adding a read more I didn’t think id yap for so long

towa has a set of fake eyes to put in depending on his shooting, prefers none

the only shoots he really enjoys are the ones where he gets to choose who he models for — they “model” towa as they see fitting which gets up to canon euphoria levels of intense

likes pornographic shoots the least, thinks they’re the most boring out of all of them.

begrudgingly maintains his health. like forces himself to eat meals and the only one he tolerates is Rei’s cooking. he tearfully purges the alcohol in his apartment, though he would at least retain cigarettes. thinking about a scenario where he’d be on an alcohol ban to improve his health for an upcoming shoot and madarame would be an ass and drink in front of him.

during bans towa gets really curt and easily bristled, taku would be his agent placating him and madarame would immediately resort to using pleasure as a way to shut him up.

a lot of chances that force madarame and towa into less violent sexual encounters bc they can’t royal screw up towa’s body before a gig/shoot.

madatowa’s down time together is madarame lounging reading books and towa sprawled in his arms reading model or art magazines. in a good mood they also explore new coffee shops and bars. sometimes they’ll force each other to go to literary or art meet ups, sometimes browse through museums.

id like to think rei and taku interact with madarame the way disgruntled disapproving parents who won’t intervene tolerate a clearly bad influence boyfriend that they can find no proof of being bad. taku and him would have very terse loaded tension convos, while madarame would either ignore rei or say things that get him arguing. but they’d still tolerate each other fine and maybe at some point get along… in the distant future.

madarame would also kinda be more relaxed / complacent since he’s put into a limiting position—outside of work hours, towa can rarely ever track him down and it’s always unknown what he’s up to. towa is playful in how he bosses madarame around as his bodyguard/ aide, trying to constantly test madarame’s limit.
