me after watching into the spider-verse: due to personal reasons, I am spider-man

lucy, you're coming back to us too, right? to me?

id: a colored digital drawing of kipperlily copperkettle and lucy frostblade. kipperlily is a blonde halfling in a school uniform. lucy is a frost genasi with white hair in many thick braids, wearing a thick white sweater. kipperlily is kneeling and clutching lucy’s body on her lap. lucy’s chest is open, her ribs shown in red, and her face is turned away from the viewer. a red star shines above kipperlily, whose eyes are shadowed. there is blood on her hands and uniform. a red circle underneath the two of them ends just before it reaches the feet of oisin and ivy, shown only in shadow from the knees down. end id.

It's not optional

CHALLENGERS (2024) dir. Luca Guadagnino

one of my favorite things about my job that i can say to people that sounds utterly ridiculous but is technically 100% true is that one of our sea turtles keeps trying to get me to commit a felony on her behalf and gets SUPER cranky when i won’t do it

this is because she is spoiled rotten and LOVES head and shell scritches. every time i go to the tank she’s in to collect water samples while she happens to be awake and swimming near the surface, she sees my hand enter the water and immediately comes over to try and get my attention, headbutting the dive platform and splashing water at me and generally making a huge fuss.

unfortunately, because she is also a ~100yr old green sea turtle, i legally cannot touch her. she’s a protected species, and a fairly prominent individual at that, and im not one of the aquarists who dives into that tank NOR am i a vet, so i’m not among the handful of people who are ALLOWED to give her scratchies. she knows all of the divers personally, and knows that i am not one of them. she doesn’t care. she wants attention and because she’s the specialest princess in the entire universe she will do anything in her power to get it.

she also throws a big ol tantrum when i end up not petting her. she’ll stick up her head to snort water at me, slap at the platform and ladder with her fins, and then swim under the dive platform and bump her shell against the bottom — she’s a 500lb turtle, which is a lot of weight for her to be throwing around. i usually have to move pretty quick to get off the platform and onto solid ground cuz there have been times where i’ve genuinely felt like i was about to lose my balance and REALLY didn’t want to end up falling into the tank.

^ myrtle, throwing a tantrum because she was unsuccessful at peer pressuring me into violating the endangered species act

do i ship these characters or do i want them to form a sketch comedy duo

sometimes "i ship it" just means "their Yes And game is insane and i wanna see more"

is this a reaction or an example

Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989)  dir. Hayao Miyazaki

I will never get over this musical

also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.
