Ok Time For Several Paragraphs Of Unmitigated Marine Biology Finfodumping! (unless "tell Me Everything"

ok time for several paragraphs of unmitigated marine biology Finfodumping! (unless "tell me everything" was rhetorical in which case whoops, 'tism moment.)

-Arapaimas, despite being large lads, can jump clean out of the water and some aquariums have to have nets around their enclosures to stop them from leaping into other tanks. Their scales are also very hard and have been used in native clothing for protection

-Silver dollars are a common household aquarium fish, but are in the same family as Piranhas and Pacus, which are both significantly larger (dinnerplate size for Piranhas and table sized for pacus) and less commonly described as "friend shaped" (they are all very friend shaped)

-Guitarfish look like a mix of sharks and rays but are taxonomically full ray, just with no sting and a larger tail they use to swim.

-Cownose rays are ocean puppies and are very social with humans when acclimated to contact. They migrate in groups of up to 10,000 and can be seen all across the east coast of the US when they do

-Electric eels aren't eels. They're knifefish that are comically long. They have played us all for fools, we expected eel but all we got was zappy knifefish.

-On the topic of eels, their reproductive cycle is a mystery, though there is a prevailing theory that most river eels in the Atlantic coast regions travel to the Sargasso Sea to spawn and their young travel home

-Manta rays, like the cownose rays I mentioned earlier, also migrate in large groups. Unlike cownose rays, they are filter feeders rather than bottom-scavengers.

-Also, on the topic of Manta rays, the "lesser Devilfish" is often confused for a juvenile manta but is its own distinct related species.

-Moray eels are the cats of the sea, if they can feasibly fit into an object they can and will sit in it.

-Schooling and shoaling are different behaviors. fish that are simply sticking together are shoaling, but they all have to be swimming in a coordinated direction to be a school.

-Cleaner wrasses set up in consistent locations to attract return customers to pick parasites and loose food from.

-A good way to avoid disturbing stingrays on a beach is to shuffle your feet instead of stepping. this will gently nudge them instead of stepping on them and avoid you being stung.

-Sharks get a reputation for being aggressive but are actually very social if their territory and behaviors are respected. Sharks that are acclimated to human contact (eg: at aquariums and popular diving locations) can even be hand-fed safely.

-Pufferfish have interlocking bones that gives them a cohesive skeletal system even when fully inflated.

-Coral are not plants, as they may first seem, but colonies of millions of tiny animals forming one superorganism.

-Coelacanths were thought to be extinct, until a marine biologist saw someone catch a prehistoric dinosaur fish.

-Horseshoe crabs have blue blood because their blood uses Hemocyanin (copper based) instead of Hemoglobin (iron based, which is why ours is red).

And thus concludes my fish yapping.

I truly am not beating the catgirl allegations. I just spent half an hour writing about how much I like fish.

someone's asked about needy transfems, but what about nerdy transfems? (I am the CEO of special interest yapping :3 and maybe a little needy too)

YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSS

I love listening to my wifeys (and others) yap oms they're so cuteeeeeeeee

Tell me everything I'm begging youuu

A Four-panel Retelling Of Me And @kyatmiya's Beautiful Foray Into Modded Minecraft. We Decided In A Classical

A four-panel retelling of me and @kyatmiya's beautiful foray into modded minecraft. We decided in a classical example of girlbossing too close to the sun to boot up Terrafirmagreg, one of the most technically challenging and time/grind intensive modpacks we know of. Our first year is on the books, and we're barely surviving by the skins of our teeth. This shit's peak, I haven't had this much fun playing minecraft in a loooong time.

I took steampunk with a few subclass levels in random fetish. if I am left alone for more than 20 minutes i *will* invent something heinous and it *will* be all of my friends' problems.

I know stereotypes are bad, but let’s be honest—every trans girl has a vibe. So tell me, which one are you?

A cute hacker girl fueled exclusively by energy drinks – You type at lightning speed, have a questionable sleep schedule, and may or may not be a digital cryptid. Bonus points if you can do eyeliner so sharp it doubles as a weapon.

A literal cat/dog (kitten/puppy also valid options) – You either radiate smug feline energy or are the human embodiment of "wagging tail, big eyes, head pats please." No in-between.

Target mom – You have opinions on scented candles, will absolutely offer to buy your friends snacks, and could run a household with military efficiency if you weren’t so busy being cute.

Three communist manifestos in a trench coat trying to add others to their cause – You own at least one tattered copy of The Communist Manifesto, believe transition should be free, and could (and would) unionize a girl’s night out.

Teenage witch – You collect shiny rocks, you’ve considered hexing a TERF, and your idea of self-care involves moon water and aggressively manifesting a hotter body.

OH NO A LITERAL GOBLIN! – You hoard shinies, giggle mischievously, and the concept of “pretty girl” and “chaotic gremlin” are one and the same to you.

A vampire with an addiction to fluffy things – Yes, you are the night. But also, you need a soft blanket, thigh-high socks, and a collection of plushies to survive.

A faerie who steals genders and scrambles eggs – You don’t just crack eggs; you turn them into omelets. Gender is yours to redistribute. Watch out, because if you so much as look at someone, they might start questioning things.

A 1950s housewife but horny and super progressive – You bake, you’re adorable, and you’re absolutely calling someone “darling” while making them question their sexuality.

Goth was never just a phase, it’s a lifestyle – Your wardrobe is mostly black, your eyeliner could kill a man, and you’ve perfected the balance between spooky and sapphic.

Goth but discovering the color brown (steampunk) – You have very strong opinions on corsets, pocket watches, and the intersection of sapphic romance and gears.

Cottagecore is my goal in life – You dream of a cozy cottage in the woods where you and your cute wife bake bread, tend to your garden, and forget what capitalism is.

I choose you, random fetish! – You didn’t mean to be this way, but here you are. Your interests are niche, intense, and probably make people blush when you explain them.

So, which one (or ones) are you? Or are you something even gayer?

Am I weird for having my blog basically be my home feed? Like almost everything I get on that section I go “yea I’ll reblog that”

Does anyone care my blog is my random scatter brained nonsense?

I am so fucking close to snapping i swear to neptune, allah, fucking buddha, any god that is fucking out there why do i have to be such a broken, useless piece of shit. fucking AAAAAAAAAAAAA im so fucking tired, so fucking tired of only existing to be beaten, used and abused then forgotten. Fuck my fucking life. It's never getting better, people keep fucking telling me that same platitude but i've been waiting two fucking decades for it to just magically "get better" and guess what IT FUCKING DOESNT. Im not even a real fucking person, im a goddamn *shard* of what used to be a person. im incapable of taking care of myself, incapable of ever "functioning" in modern society. all im ever going to be is someone's fucking retard burden to drag them down for the rest of my natural born fucking life. I look hideous, im completely disabled because of decades of constant mind-breaking trauma and will likely never recover, the country i live in is going to shit, im absolutely penniless with no hope of ever having an income. what fucking future is there. At this point im about ready to just give up, let go of the controls and let myself fade into nothing. There's two more fucking backup personalities in here maybe they wont be such fuckups. I was made to be a weapon, a survival-mode emergency shield and nothing more, i cant survive actual life. I cant even be someone's fucking malewife housecat and be pampered all day because i spun the orientation wheel and got "Dom-top". How the fuck does that work when i can barely get off the couch in the morning? when i have to be kept pretty much on fucking life support by someone else or ill literally drown in my own garbage. Maybe the bronchitis i had as an infant was meant to kill me and this is the world's way of correcting its mistake. Holy fuck here's to hoping i get hit by a meteor, like to charge reblog to fucking nail me like the dinosaurs.

shoutout people who feel too plural for singlets and too singlet for plurals. it can suck to be out of place, i get it.

shoutout people who use "personalities", "emotions", "identities", "parts", or similar, i do this too. none of us are really sentient enough to use anything else.

shoutout systems and such who are too blurry to tell who they are. this is what we are like. we almost never have a sense of identity, and even when we do, it's extremely vague. we can't notice switches and we don't feel any different from anyone else.

...and more i haven't mentioned.

true to the prompt, I ain't saying what my response is. but my outspoken dom/top-ness and my 279 hours in Terra Invicta should make it clear that it's a safe bet to hide your garlic bread.

Reblog if you

1. Want to get pegged by a 9-15 foot tall plant women

2. Your Flort looks REALLY cute right now

Or

3. You could absolutely DEVOUR some garlic bread right now

But don’t say which one it is
