I think it's sad that most people always think of bottlenoses as the "classic dolphin" since its the one that's always used for shows, and always think of dolphins as just straight grey when in reality there's so many varieties with so many different amazing patterns
Look at the common dolphin! They have a gorgeous X pattern and even some dull yellow/gold!!
Hourglass dolphins have gorgeous white streaks
Spinner dolphins have really pretty banding as well, AND they have a really sleek cute silhouette!
The atlantic spotted dolphin!!! Theyre spotted!!!!!!
and the pantropical spotted too!!
Dusky dolphins have a gorgeous airbrush look going on like straight out of a 2000s fantasy illustration
Striped dolphins sure have stripes!! How cool!!
And these I've shown you aren't even all of them at all, there are so many of them:
There's so so so many different types of dolphins people dont know about this isnt even all of them and some are SO gorgeous and underrated because people just dont know they exist so I'm here to fix that

CHAT I'M WRITING A FIC!!
Hey chat this has been a long time in the works, but I'm currently writing the DCA/reader fic of my dreams! I've titled it Chasing Stars, based off the song Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I've started off with our wonderful Sunny boy's reference sheet!
(Obligatory click for more quality...)
And an alt version with something Y/N gives them...
Okay just to give a little context, I do plan on writing out the fic (I already have OCs and chapter one partially done lol), but I can't promise a release date or anything. However!! I will be posting doodles and drawings in context for the fic, including more reference sheets! Y/N's sheet is also done, but I need to tweak it :P
Chasing Stars is pretty much your typical DCA Pizzaplex AU, but it's more of a... prequel, shall we say ;)
MOON'S SHEET HERE!! Y/N's Sheet Here!

Svsssaction Prompt for @harpieisthecarpie!
Moshang Hurt/Comfort with Shang Qinghua realizing how his actions have hurt all these people around him and to the person he loves the most, that everything is real now and not simply some story, which finally comes crashing down on him. While it's a huge process, they have eternity to talk and figure it out together.
Hope you enjoy and thank you so much for your donation!!!

Hot take? A show with queer people in it from the beginning was never queerbaiting and— very literally and technically— never could. In the first episode, a gay man comes out to his family. And he doesn’t stop being gay after that; it’s a major plot point and part of his character going forward. You’ve had a married lesbian couple from the jump who are proud and unapologetic about their love for each other. The story has also portrayed several queer couples and stories in episodic plots, including featuring queer weddings.
Buck didn’t suddenly “become” bi. Queerness is not when straight people “turn” queer. He has been attracted to men the entire time; he has always been bi. Understanding yourself and your sexuality as a queer person is often so difficult under heteronormativity. Sometimes, it takes time.
Hell— Buck checking a guy out some time in season 3 or getting flustered by the idea he might like a guy, etc, etc, are not even examples “queerbaiting,” nevermind how the show already features queer stories.
I genuinely think some of y’all are just mad that he’s not sucking face with the man you want him to, and are being weirdly homophobic about it. “Buck kissing this man is kinda off-putting, lmao.” “Buck and his bf’s relationship is awkward. IDK, but it weirds me out.” “There’s something so cringe about Buck’s relationship—” “Who dates someone they haven’t been friends with for years first? It’s kinda creepy…” “I think their relationship is a weird mess. It’s not as meaningful as a slow burn.”
Life isn’t fanfiction and fanfiction tropes don’t make good writing. Most relationships start out with a “hey, I’m interested in you, let’s get to know each other.” You’re just transparently uncomfortable with two men expressing that interest in each other outside the arbitrary rules you’ve established to make a mlm relationship “legitimate” or “meaningful.”
[Fanfiction] tropes— from “there’s only one bed” to “we’re forced together, but fall in love anyway”— are responses to the sex-negativity and purity culture norms forced upon gender and sexual minorities. They provide a workaround for these norms but never a direct challenge. It’s like the Family Guy episode “Prick Up Your Ears,” where conservative Christian abstinence-only sex education leads to kids having ear sex. Ear sex is the workaround to the abstinence and purity rules they’d been taught, not the challenge. We still have stringent rules around who can touch whom and under what circumstances. Tropes reflect this. So, a trope like “there’s only one bed” provides the characters with a justification for their intimacy without directly challenging why it is taboo.
You’ve convinced yourself that shipping— and thus the tropes it employs— is more subversive than actual representation, and the people caught in the crossfire are actual queer people.
Also— for the love of fuck— stop comparing every mlm relationship to RW&RB.

THE LINKED UNIVERSITY THING IS SO COOL!!!
Is the entire group friends or are there different cliques they are all part of?
What extracurriculars do they do (besides cheerleader legend)?
Is it possible to see more of Four?
these ref sheets i made awhile back should answer your question about extracurriculars!
to answer the first question, they are all friends but mostly hang out with the others who are in their grade! However, one of the main ideas i had for this if i were to make it into a story was that they were all brought together by Time in a special club for exceptional students, as they are all very skilled in different areas (which was definitely NOT a concept i stole from the show A.N.T farm-)
i promise ill try to feed the Four fans more at some point!
