Hug Your Local Bug! (Metaphorically As They Are Small)

Aww, how sweet- you’re one of my favorites too ❤️

If you’re not on the list, I still like you and appreciate you! I’m just gonna think of some people who make me smile and I feel a connection with, and if you’re not on this list it doesn’t mean you don’t fit those criteria!

@that-bug-kid you seem like someone I would like to befriend irl and your enthusiasm for insects is great. I also really appreciate your disability posts- they help me support (and avoid being hurtful to) people with disabilities different from my own. Same goes for you, @sleepycrowhours , except replace “insects” with “Fire Emblem: Awakening” and “befriend irl” with “figure out why you’re so deeply weird” (the second half of that sentence is a joke). Also I’m pretty sure I started following you just because your PFP was Henry. You are the Henry person to me lol

@anyconstellation You were our first tumblr mutual ❤️ I enjoy your writing and creativity, and your cat is adorable!

@neutrallmilfhotel you’re slightly unhinged and I like it

@bunnyhopsystem We don’t really know y’all yet, but you all seem cool and it’s exciting to meet other Plurals!

let's be fr here, when u think about ur favourite mutual, who is it? let's start a chain and maybe some arguments lmao

“what’s your five year plan” bro i wake up every day confused by the fact that i’m even alive

Grima Propaganda! (Because I deeply appreciate this messed up villain)

The Fell Dragon Grima, the dark deity bent on eradicating humanity, the bringer of the zombie apocalypse, and a lot of fans’ blorbo.

When you first meet them in Fire Emblem Awakening, they’re the Big Bad villain with little actual characterization, but that didn’t stop the fandom from loving them, and they got more lore and characterization in DLC and other games in the franchise. There is soo much Murder Dragon Romanticization in the fandom and it seems to be running on sheer swag and charisma. It’s also true that canon is enough of a mess that you could make the case they’re much less evil than it seems… or maybe that’s the fandom talking. There are Tumblr folk who celebrate “Grimas” every year. Grima should absolutely be a Tumblr Sexyman: he’s the villain certain people love, dark and mysterious and eldritch and full of issues and trauma. The fan fiction this character has spawned includes some of my favorite fanworks.

Their (unwilling?) vessel is none other than the amnesiac player character Robin, who was born into an evil cult for the purpose of bringing their dark god back to life. Robin and Grima are so interconnected that the death of one means the death of the other (a great source of angst, at least until Robin is revived by the power of friendship). A lot of people headcanon that Grima and Robin are actually the same entity, and the varying interpretations of Grima and Robin and how they’re connected are such fun.

Grima is also:

-an artificial being whose creator tried to kill them

-a dragon monstrosity with six eyes and six wings that’s so huge the final battle is held on top of their back

-referred to with mostly he/him but kinda inconsistent pronouns in game, probably some genderfuckery here

-I headcanon Grima is Above Gender

-parent to a Very Traumatized child (or several)

-a GIGANTIC effing DRAGON with six eyes and six wings

-I keep wanting to add more but I can’t let my brain be consumed any further

Venti/Lord Barbatos(Genshin Impact) vs Grima(Fire Emblem Awakening)

Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! 🐰🪺💐

@afoolandathief thank you for supporting Oakie! Here are some bird sketches from my ornithology class last summer.

(If you see this post and want us to post more art, vote for Oakie here and reply, message us, or like the post linked here to let us know!)

Normally I don’t approve of “reblog if you’re not an asshole” type posts because they pressure people and make them feel like if they don’t reblog, people will think they’re bigoted. But this… this is pretty great. I would like to show OP’s dad that homophobia is not cool and not the majority opinion :)

EDIT: I didn’t realize when I shared this that it’s from 2012… lol…. OP I hope you’re doing well and your dad has changed his mind.

Reblog if you're not homophobic

Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad. 

In my biology lab classes:

Look at this cool living stuff! Today we’re dissecting flowers! What do you mean you won’t pipet by mouth? Yeah, wash your hands, don’t spill the microbes.

Would you like to taste this edible fungus? Or this edible plant?

In my chemistry lab classes:

So this is the concentrated acid and this other chemical will give you cancer and this one is highly flammable and might explode….

Always wear safety glasses and gloves and clothes that cover your body (in case you spill something corrosive or toxic) but aren’t too tight (so you can get them off fast in the event of Dangerous Chemical Spill) or too loose (so they won’t drag and catch on fire). NEVER EVER PIPET BY MOUTH OR TASTE ANYTHING OR EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BECAUSE DOING THAT MIGHT KILL YOU. Fires happen in the lab, let’s hope we don’t have any this semester!

I ❤️ vermin

I ❤️ pests

May little creatures’ lives be blest.

Okay, for anyone interested in the science here, I have a few clarifications.

First, early fossils of land plants date to around 433 million years ago, during the Silurian period, not to the Precambrian (defined as before around 540 million years ago).

Second, Tiktaalik was not the first land animal; it is known for being the earliest/one of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land, but arthropods got there first. Early centipedes and millipedes ventured out of the water relatively soon after the plants (around 425 million years ago, also during the Silurian), while Tiktaalik evolved around 375 million years ago, during the Devonian period.

can you imagine plants on land in the precambrian like aw fuck yeah fish cant even eat us anymore this owns and then tictilak shows up
