wait what are your other top 5 prehistoric fish then

Bcjwhfhf I didn’t expect anyone to read my tags, here you go though!

1. Arandaspis was a lightly armored fish with plates instead of teeth that evolved in the early Ordovician period which is my FAVORITE geological period. A huge extinction event took place in this period, the first of the big five mass extinction events on earth that wiped out 70% of species.

2. Protosphyraena is a type of swordfish that evolved in the Cretaceous, and I like anything that can stab

3. Plesiosaurs aren’t technically a fish, it’s a “marine reptile”, but I love them a lot. A TA in one of my paleo classes gave a 45 minute lecture on them and it was great. Listen. Everything is a fish.

4. Haikouichthys, the earliest known fish and my beloved. It evolved during the Cambrian Explosion, and is characterized by having one long fin running down its back. Your honor I love him.

5. Of course, Dunkleosteus, the mentioned 5th favorite

Honorable mention: EURYTPERIDS are my absolute favorite prehistoric animal!! They were 2-3 meter long sea scorpions that were cousins of the more well known trilobite. I have a recreation of a eurypterid fossil on my wallet and it’s one of my prized possessions

Thank you for the ask! This was fun to write :D

A very specific group of people:

Y’all I’m rereading Warrior Cats to desperately hold onto what little youth I have remaining in my body and???? I am so fucking invested in this book written for 8-year-olds. I legit had to stop reading a few times to calm myself down because these fictional cats matter to me so damn much.

I don’t really know how to say this but do you know what I really like the thought of?

People with incredible superpowers who could have the world on its knees just… having normal lives where they use their powers for small things just because it brings them joy.

Imagine a person who could rewind or fast forward time for an object or person. If they wanted they could decimate an entire military. Tanks, guns, soldiers… Just rust and dust.

They own a flower shop, rewinding their flowers every so often to keep them fresh. They have one customer, a lady of about 85, who comes in every Monday at 9 am on the dot for them to rewind the last bouquet her husband gave her before he passed away.

Oh, um, so, hi Prince! So, is there anything I can get you, or maybe tidy up some more or...

[xilly]

Do you ever wonder how many people have you blocked? Like I stay in my lane and rarely type my own shit so I bet the number is low but like. Are there people who just thought my vibes were rancid? I’ll never know.
