andromeda is a big wide open galaxy / nothing in it for me except a heart that’s lazy
adult eridan for an au i’ve been messing around with! his outfit is a straight rip of mid 1800 naval uniforms. it is in fact just a straight up terror reference ^_^ imperialism
the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight
karkat uses slurs because he has the vernacular of a 13 year old boy who spends too much time on the internet circa 2010. eridan uses slurs because he actually means them
For decades, marine biologists assumed that all squids laid their eggs in clusters on the seafloor, where the eggs developed and hatched without any help from their parents. However, MBARI scientists discovered that some female deep-sea squid, like this Gonatus onyx, brood their eggs by carrying them between their arms until the young hatch and swim away.
Gonatus females will have approximately 2,000 to 3,000 eggs in a sheath between their arms for as long as nine months. During this time they are unable to feed and must rely on stored fats from previous meals. This observation of the first known parental care behavior by squid was also an important discovery made possible by the use of MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles.
