#fish are too weird

[pancakeke]

got asked if I could share a pic of my controllers for the culture section of our workplace newsletter. I said yeah but because I decided to put the new grids on a wall with no natural light (to avoid UV damage) they were unphotographable. to take pics I had to set everything up by my front door...

layout will change in like a week or two though. I am importing some rhythm games with unique controllers. Also bought that ps1 resident evil controller with the weird buttons layout plus one of its handles is a gun grip and the other is a knife grip

#they used 100% of the hooks i purchased #but the ps1 grip and fishing rod are tied with velcro cause theyre shaped too weird for hooks to hold

can i tell you all a secret. that secret is that part of me always goes after i post a bigger fic that i spent more time on "maybe this is the time that it's too weird and no one is interested". and then i go to bed. and then i am proven wrong immediately the moral is to post your things that are "too weird" because people'll like them even if they're just written for you alone there is someone else out there with similar taste okay just go for it,

#its really a silly thing to worry at this point #and yet i remain #it's up there with 'am i actually insufferably pretentious' when it comes to 'things i worry at 3 am for no reason' #and then i go to bed and i wake up and i go 'OH ACTUALLY I WAS FINE' #...this is NOT fishing for compliments incidentally do not do that #this is me going 'hey if you ALSO think your thing is too weird. someone will like it i promise'

to an extent I can sorta understand why people tend to like mammals the most bc the other mammals are the most like us and it'd probably even be possible for someone to know all of them by name with how relatively few there are, but at the same time being able to go outside and go "Woah cool, that's new, what the fuck is that?" almost every day is part of the appeal of being interested in animals as a whole

#this is not a mammal or mammalian biologist hate post- Love y'all don't get me wrong! #Just thinking about it because a lot of people close themselves off to learning about the arthropods and fish and etc. around them bc #they're too Weird or Scary #Wasp House Buzzer

Baby Alva and Astrid with their momma

#birdmen #birdmas2023 #birdmen fanart #i have a lot of headcanons about the larsson momma actually #she was a scientist and naturally as a woman in stem must've faced a lot of hurdles and prejudice #that's why alva has that kind of desire to uplift other women. bc she knew what her mother had to go through #alva was basically her rubber duckie. so alva got a lot of scientific knowledge from when she was young #also she had some kind of genetic disease that took her life #alva and astrid had got it too and it wasn't curable #that was why eden turned alva into a birdman in the first place. that cured her and they didn't lose a genius #gosh i'm typing this at 2 am and why does every word looks weird #why is disease spelled like that #shhh go to sleep fish #alva larsson #astrid larsson #birdmas 2023 day 2 #my art #fishpaste

You ever want to be loved in the way that a pet is?

#this is just me making specific ass poses for myself and longing for things I twill never have #and also making specific ass poses reflective of fics I’ve written that I haven’t posted on accounts of the fact that I’m not yet sure if #they’re perhaps TOO weird #spoopy fish rambles

Jamil is so funny anytime someone mentions octavinelle on purpose. He doesn’t even hide his distaste, he’s just immediately blatantly like 😒ew. why. 😒

I loved the plot component to the Mighty Nein’s story but god all I can think about right now is that dome, how Caleb almost cried to be able to provide a shelter for them after losing one of their own, how they all slept together and ate together and just lived as inextricable parts of each other’s lives for so much of the campaign. The tower was a love letter both from Liam and from Caleb but the comfort and familiarity of curling up in a pile of limbs and body odor and snoring and that being more of a home than any of them had seen in so long, if ever...it’s so simple but it gets to me. The intimacy of a life lived in tandem is one of the greatest forms love takes and the Nein were just rich with it in a way that seemed so especially healing to watch.

#the further away we get from the conclusion of the campaign #the harder I reject the notion they split up #at least not for long #the mighty nein #domestic squabbles over who didn't wash their socks #'I am not sleeping next to you until you go get in the fucking river #i'll go with you quit being a baby nothing is going to eat you bc you smell too bad' #'how did you get another hole in your coat I just fixed that' #'quit pretending your bandages don't hurt - I can hear you trying to breathe normally' #'nott the next time you eat fish you're sleeping in a tree holy shit' #those first few nights in the tower? #their own rooms? #god that must have been weird #nice in some ways but weird #especially for those who are inclined to look out for everyone else #which is pretty much all of them #i miss them #critical role

Do you know for sure the snails died because of the betta? bettas usually can't outright kill snails unless they're exposed on their backs or fail to get into their shells fast enough which is really rare.

we think so bc it looked like there were torn up pieces of the snails' bodies floating around... but i wasn't there that's just second hand info. i could ask around for more

#i know we think it's weird too #like we've heard don't keep bettas with other fish #or at least not other bettas #but it's surprising that it wouldn't tolerate a couple of snails... #dunno what else could have happened exactly #asks #playtwewy

jean-pierre talbot in tintin à paris (1961)

#little featurette about his training/prep for the role! it's cute it's fun #jean-pierre talbot #tintin #the adventures of tintin #there's a very cartoonish chase sequence at the beginning #featuring a thief‚ fishing line‚ a comically large pair of scissors‚ and a banana peel. it's great #26gif #archive #text #jpt #60s films #working on something else too but it is taking. so long. so have this in the meantime #obligatory he was 16 here don't be weird

yeah i made him a fish lookin thang whatcha gonna do about it

#mother series #giegue #earthbound beginnings #yeah im proud of this so im putting it on tumblr too. hiii mother times server how yall doing #ignore that he doesnt have a back leg i tried but it looked kinda weird and cramped #anyways i gave giegue gill things and a more fish-esque appearance because i hc his species is aquatic #like they come from an oceanic? aquatic? unsure. well its a planet that is almost entirely water im talkin subnautica levels of sea #that's why he had that capsule orb thing in mother 1. he needs it to live and the weird engine-esque things at his side are like purifiers #making sure the liquid is suitable. not too focused on much else (why bother when you're a super powerful psychic) but isn't exactly fragil #like the material is flexible and rubbery even. you hit it and it bounces back a good amount #we don't really get an explanation for why earth itself was chosen to get invaded. at least i don't remember if there was one sorry 😭 BUT #i hc also that the reason giegue's species decided to invade here specifically was because of territory. i mean we've got a lot of water #maybe they took george and maria to test humanity in a sense. if they reacted positively to an alien child mayybe they wouldnt have needed #to straight up eradicate humanity maybe this time we wont need to fight too much. would be inconvenient to waste firepower on these #simple creatures. they're not even that smart. can't even use our epic brain powers lol (aged real well) #once again they aint found him yet but when they do they gon be surprised #anyways its like 4 in the morning i cant keep doing this. thanks for reading my brainworms over a game ive never played 🤙

And Another Thing it's not like i Don't like roygarth or that i'm particularly Against the ship cause no. but i think their canon relationship is so much more interesting than this weird fanon version of them where they were always Best Buds.

like canon roygarth starts with them being angsty teens dealing with their own shit and fully refusing to understand each other. garth latches on to everyone who's even a Little nice to him and roy is stuck in his I Don't Need Friends They Disappoint Me stage. roy also has very high standards for himself and gets pissy with garth cause he feels like garth shouldn't be a hero. which obviously sets garth off because he Also feels like he shouldn't be a hero but the other titans were usually supportive and understanding whereas roy would actually say it and insult him directly.

And Then garth fucks off and only talks to the titans when they talk to him first, then he's Fine Again but goes through Rough Shit. meanwhile roy's life is Also falling apart. but they get older and they get more mature and they get to this point in their life where they don't Want to fight each other anymore. the titans are their home and they're constantly losing people and they don't Want to lose what little they have left. but they also won't apologize or talk about what happened because they're both emotionally repressed so they just never clear shit up.

it's obvious that later on roy Does respect garth and Does see him as a hero, but he never apologizes for what he said in the past so garth still has doubts. and garth starts to gradually leave the titans out of stuff and only update them once a fucking year so roy is like ?? What Are We??? and as adults you can see that playful banter and that familiarity they have with each other and yeah it IS genuine but it's also burying all the blood bad they never actually sorted.

they're just in this really weird zone where they're Family but they're not Friends. they would give their life for the other but they never talk. they pretend to understand the other but they don't know anything going on in their life. they're best friends and they're just some guys. like imo their canon relationship is so interesting and has So Many Layers that really highlight their individual problems but the fanon version is always like "yeah sometimes they sass each other :)". like.

#yeah im still thinking about them what of it what are you gonna do about it #ajhdgljagd #like i think its so interesting how they really only became 'friends' because theyre so familiar with each other despite not being close #like roy is Not close with garth in the same way that he's close with dick #and vice versa hell man garth feels more comfortable with Wally The Republican than with roy #but theyve known each other for So Long and theyve both lost so much that they just can't do it anymore #they can't fight they can't insult they can't force themselves to not understand the other #but neither of them want to bring that shit up either so they just... start acting like they were always buds #and its Weird and Awkward #roy still doesn't understand what jokes are okay and garth still takes things way too literally #but they're Trying and they do respect the other but they also REFUSE to actually talk it out #they both refuse to talk about their personal lives with the other and only give the most bare basic necessities #garth still has insecurities and feels like roy actually hates him and doesn't want him there #roy still feels bad but is also still burned from garth being too nosy or not understanding his addiction #and like. that's just so much more interesting than yeah sometimes roy calls garth a fish hahah funny right #dc #garth of shayeris

Warrior Cat Maid!Xiao who only purrs and nuzzles to his master, otherwise he will bite

Imagine that he softly nuzzles into his master lap, purring quietly, his ears moving every now and then

He's happy because he can hug his master and the sun is going throu the window in the best possible way, warming him up-

- 🐠

FISH ANON 😭😭

MY XIAO OBSESSION WILL GET OUT OF CONTROL IF THIS DISCUSSION IS GETTING CONTINUED-

bu-but...

i just can't help but to write this-

the living room in your house had always been a very warm place to be. with the sunlight always coming inside through the small window, it became your cat's favorite place to take a nap while also spending some quality time with you.

even though you dislike getting hit by the sunlight early in the morning, seeing your cat laying his head on your lap comfortably made all the irritation in your body disappeared into thin air. and even more amazing than that? he was purring. and it was loud enough for you hear. how cute!

"xiao?" you cooed. the little twitch of his cat ears made you wanna scream because it was so adorable, but it wouldn't be nice to scream into his ears like that, would it? you swallowed every last bits of your needs to scream and jump around like a teenager in love, and just smiled. still, you need to ask him about something. "xiaoo... do you wanna eat right now? or should we-"

xiao's right hand touched your lips lightly. his gesture had your eyes widened and your cheeks reddening. "shh..." he mumbled, eyes still closed.

"a-ah, sorry, xiao..."

"..."

his eyes fluttered open. those golden eyes of his were as shining as the sun. beautiful, you thought. "y/n..." he whined, getting all your attention to him. his mouth formed a small pout, pulling his hand from your mouth unto your hips, slightly hugging you. "i'm tired," he whispered softly.

you chuckled seeing how clingy xiao was. after all, it was quite rare coming from your usual grumpy cat. "alright then, we'll eat later.." you didn't mind if he was like this every single day.

xiao, deep inside his heart, hoped the same as you too.

he kept snuggling unto your body, sniffing your scent. it was lovely, he thought. after all, his scent was already all over you, just like what he wanted. it'll keep the others away.

HAHAH MY WRITING IS ACTUALLY KINDA DECENT?? WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS
