god i love the blue catfish so much. kind of a terrifying superpredator honestly. they like living in muddy water so their eyesight is dogshit, but they've got these huge barbels around their face to feel around, and their whole body is covered in almost two hundred thousand tastebuds to figure out exactly where their prey is, and they've got a special adipose fin to be extra tuned-in to water currents/pressure, and they have super keen senses of hearing at really low AND high frequencies, and they ALSO have a deeply forked tail to decrease drag so they can just cruise around and gulp down literally whatever they want, including other catfish, even in like zero-visibility water where every other animal is basically blind. and they get so fucking stupid huge with this technique that nothing can grab them because they're as big as a person. and if an eagle or something does grab one before it's gotten big enough to be eagle-proof, the catfish has fucking POISON KNIVES on its fins to not only stab things but also envenomate them in the process

you may not like it, but THIS is what peak performance looks like

Tumblr Top Ships Bracket - FINALS

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

My favourite part of this is there are no translation errors in this picture. The fish is a bottom feeder that’s called kinki in Japanese, Channel Rockfish in English, and the Mandarin name is actually honest to god Idiot Fish (okay, maybe Silly Fish, but silly as a word is more…. loveable, doesn’t quite capture the full rage and frustration at whoever you’re terming “傻瓜”)

The man the myth the legend

Just saw a post about dolls and how kids play with them, and I remembered that my grandpa, who had real bad alzhiemer's, would buy me and my sisters the same dolls from the dollar store every Friday. It had became a routine for him, and he forgot that he'd already gotten us those toys

So that led to us having a shitton of super cheap barbie knock offs, and my parents could only sneakily return so many

We also had a shitty row boat, because my dad has really bad adhd and no impulse control. He also had no idea how to keep a boat, which meant it immediately filled up nearly to the brim with rain water as it sat next to our driveway for seasons unused

So what's a kid to do with dozens of unwanted barbies and what is basically an above ground pond at this point? I'll tell you

What you do is take those dolls and stick them in the boat very carefully. Then you watch as the seasons change, the temperature gets colder, and the water in the boat freezes as winter takes hold.

You never really forget bringing your mom out to the boat in the dead of winter to show off the homemade river Styx her children have crafted in the backyard, a dozen cheaply made plastic monstrosities carefully positioned to reach up to the surface in a frozen agony

Those dolls stayed in their frozen hell until we finally found someone who would buy the boat, like two years later.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember what the guy's reaction was when he actually came to see it and witnessed the art installation inside

This post went in a direction. I’m glad it did.

I think it's wild that people will read a book no problem without even thinking about the word count of each chapter but then go on ao3 and avoid a fic because it only has 1,000 words a chapter.

It's kind of insane what people's fic lengths sometimes need to be to get readers these days.

Like just think about it, 50,000 words is a novel. A full published novel. If there were 10,000 words for each chapter you would only get 5 chapters. Yet on ao3 sometimes people with only 10,000 words a chapter will get barely any views because people are out there writing 20,000 words a chapter.

I think we really need to give credit to these people who are spitting out full novels for each chapter written. We also need to give credit to those who spit out 1,000 or less for each chapter. Some people have different writing styles. Some people feel like some chapters need to be shorter than others.

What I'm saying is sometimes the best pieces of fic writing can be under 1,000 words. Invest. Enjoy. Comment and Kudos.

Man, I wonder what the Persona 2 cast is doing in the modern Persona universe. Except for our favorite Paradox Boy - he’s…uh, back home in the non-canon universe that is made up of exactly One Single City.

Also got him posted over on that other site where I call him my imaginary OC.
