reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from

True/False game. Make an assumption about me in my ask and I’ll tell you if its true or false. Go.

PLSSSSS

where d'ya get friends like this. asking for purely academic curiosity

I think I’ve seen the boobs of most of my friends… is this normal? I’m not complaining, just took me a bit to realize lol.

I feel like a poorly written fanfic character with a "dark and mysterious past" but instead of being faux-edgy im just incredibly ashamed of myself and repress vast swathes of my personality and identity into secret "Dbug Lore(tm)". Like, no i dont avoid talking about myself and my feelings to create an air of mystery or coolness, im just nerdy, boring, and deeply traumatized.

When the mutual you really enjoy seeing in ur notes shows up in ur notes

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

*says something in a gc that doesn’t get a response* I should be shot like a dog in the street (non sexually)

you ever just spend two hours writing, just straight up juicing that brain for all its fucking worth, then you look back at it as the earliest rays of morning light shine through your window and all you see is
