Phylum Round 1

Onychophora: Velvet Worms. This is the only phylum containing exclusively terrestrial members, although their ancestors can be traced back to the Cambrian shallow oceans. Onychophorans are ambush predators, moving with slow smooth steps to creep up on their prey. They have unique mucus glands on either side of their face which can spray jets of sticky slime, which effectively immobilizes their prey. Onychophorans have relatively complex brains, and some even live in social "packs" that live and hunt together. Many species in this phylum are ecologically vulnerable, threatened, or endangered.

Platyhelminthes: Flatworms. This phylum includes both colorful free-living members and more modest parasitic members. Free-living worms can be found in marine, freshwater, and even terrestrial environments. All flatworms are, of course, dorsoventrally flattened so their whole bodies can access oxygen from the outside, as they have no specialized circulatory system. Some flatworms are of interest to research in tissue regeneration, as they have the remarkable ability to completely regenerate a new body from a cut piece. Many classes within Platyhelminthes are exclusively parasitic, including flukes, tapeworms, schistosomes, and others. Most flatworms are hermaphroditic, and some larger marine species practice a ritual known as "penis fencing" to determine which worm's eggs will be fertilized.

What's the biggest misconception about each of the Trinity that you see in others' works?

'what if the good guys are the bad guys' is fine but like. you could just write better good guys who are actually doing their best, and not cops. that's an option you have.

i guess it also peeves me when superman isn't a little shit, batman's not a detective, and wonder woman lacks mad scientist energy

Markiplier chased me through an IKEA store because I told him it would be a funny video idea if he got into a sleeping bag and pretended to be a worm. Like he was chasing me with intent to kill.

Territorial Dispute part 1

*CRACK - BOOM*

Ough...that had hurt. How could Goliaopede have been able to get the jump on him? Calama didn't have time to steady his mind before he noticed the rapidly approaching titan

*VEEEEEEERBOOOOOOM*

Calama had always been faster than that living corpse but something was strange...

Goliapede seemed to be keeping pace with him, it must have just been because he had allowed the behemoth to get too close. If he kept flying at full speed he'd surely loose the beast.

however, Calama felt a shudder shoot up his back...it couldn't be...

Goliapede was flying faster than him...HE'D BEEN CAUGHT!

Phylum Round 1.5

Xenacoelomorpha: Small, flat, worm-like animals that live in marine and brackish sediments, and sometimes around hydrothermal vents. They can be free-living, symbiotic, or parasitic. A unique feature is that their stomachs lack nerve cells, unlike many other animals. Their evolutionary relationship to the rest of Animalia has been highly debated, and very little is known about their lifestyles.

Micrognathozoa: Presumably the smallest phylum, this group consists of a single species, Limnognathia maerski. In addition to being the smallest phylum, it may also be the smallest animal, with an average length of 100 micrometers. Despite this, it has complex jaws with 15 independently moving parts. Since this phylum has not been well-studied, all individuals that have been collected so far have been female.

Thinking about how Aegon can sit on the throne drunk and lazy and not taking his rule seriously and not even get a scratch…Robert was never scratched either and Aegon the unworthy was also exempt from the thrones blood tax WHY IS THIS I’m racking my brain for answers. Obviously the throne is a symbol for the cycle of violence so it only accepts the violent and abusive but then there’s maegor who got scratched by the throne in the worst way possible…what does it all mean…can you not upset the balance of the cycle…

Guys guys guys hear me out

Tattoo artist!Rinko and Teacher!Gojo.

Walk with me.

Toji owns a shop and the rest of the Zenin family hates it.

Like in every other AU, Rinko gravitated toward Toji and his little family whenever she had to be around Naobito. She got a bit hooked on the artistic side of it all and spent ages convincing Toji to let his “little cousin” work for him. She isn’t completely tatted up, but she does have quite a few really pretty, elaborate pieces that are easily hidden. Yuzuki still has a bakery and Rinko helps out when she isn’t tattooing at the shop.

She meets Gojo because he’s Megumi’s teacher or teaches at his school and they hit it off instantly (after he realizes she’s not Megumi’s mom). 👀👀👀

Will I write this? Jury’s out. Is it a brainworm? Yes. I can’t stop thinking about it but I’ve written nothing more than what’s right here sooooooo 🙃🙃 enjoy sharing my brainworm.

Captured and taken to a gladiator arena, you fight for your life. However, after winning every death match with ease, you catch the eye of a God who's always looking for fighters to stand beside him. You have drenched yourself in the very essence of his godhood, how could he let something as beautiful as you pass?

This will be a short series. I'm going for five chapters with at least a thousand word count per chapter. Mind the tags please. As always, feedback is appreciated! I II III IV V
