#manatee thoughts

[psychedelicmanatee]

Trying to imagine what Breaking Bad would have been if Lalo / the Salamancas had come out of BCS on top.

Gus and Walt are excellent adversaries and I love their crazy chess game dynamic, don't get me wrong.

I just love thinking about what a Lalo vs Walt arc would have looked like

Also it's very possible that Lalo would have just been like "this guy is more trouble than he's worth" and killed him lol

#i can't stop the flow of thoughts today y'all sorry 😅 #having a manic sunday and being rabid over this fucking universe #better call saul #brba #breaking bad #lalo salamanca #walter white #gus fring #manatee thoughts

Phantom sobs so hard he gives himself a headache when he learns what manatees are and how friendly they are

Dew ends up comforting them because he had to do the exact same thing for Rain for the exact same reason

(Dew also cried and only stopped when Aether and Ifrit gave him a manatee plushie)

my favorite chrissy is Science Girl Chrissy

like, chrissy who loves dinosaurs and collects dead bugs and reads encyclopedias for fun

chrissy who would rather spend the day at the natural science museum or outside looking for bugs under rocks

chrissy who would pick up worms and try to convince her mom to let her keep them as pets

chrissy who has a secret ant farm in her closet and a display case of dead butterflies on her wall

#chrissy whose favorite animal is manatees!!! #i just love science chrissy who knows So Much About Everything #chrissy cunningham #chrissy cunningham headcanon #chrissy cunningham headcanons #stranger things #stranger things headcanon #stranger things headcanons #just r's thoughts

Day 12, "Companion"

He's so much fun to draw!!!!

Inspired by this color palette posted by @fivepointpalettes

My Companion Looked In Horror At The Scene Unfolding Before Our Very Eyes Before Finally Saying Out Loud What We’ve All Been Thinking

#mermay #mermay 2023 #baymax #big hero 6 #teehee he looks like a manatee #also this prompt gave me issues bc I originally thought of Sherlock Holmes (hence my rant the other day) #but it just wasn't working I couldn't conceptualize it #I like Sherlock Holmes but I don't think I love it enough to draw anything from it atm

Stan: Dad I tried to go to school but this guy won't let me.

Randy: Oh yeah? Him and what army?

Stan, pointing to the military blockade outside their house: The US Army.

Randy: Oh that's a good army.

Hey, quick question, what was the Manitoba exactly? How much do we know about it (I saw you mention it in a previous post, I'm just curious lol)

The MV Manitoba was a ship that Barnacles sailed on sometime after he graduated the Polar Scouts, and before he began training Tracker; becoming an Octonaut soon after that. If you pause during a shot inside Barnacles' room, you'll see an anchor in the corner, and a wooden steering wheel hanging on the wall; both from the Manitoba.

Truth be told, most of what we know about it is just heavy speculation. They never actually namedrop it out loud in the show, and you have to be actively looking for content in order to see it, but there are a few things that people (including myself) have picked up on to be implied canon:

The Manitoba crashed. This is for certain.

It probably crashed during a big storm; if you look closely, Barnacles tends to become more tense during storms.

His song he sings in The Narwhals episode, was a song he wrote on the Manitoba. The lyrics use boat terminology, despite the Octopod being a submarine.

Harry (a friend of Barnacles who we meet in The Harbor Seel episode) might've been part of the crew.

Tweak was very likely onboard the Manitoba too. This would've been where they met for the first time.

His sister Bianca was also probably there, considering it would be weird for them to recruit him, but not her.

The rest of the crew was possibly never found after the crash. Hence why Barnacles is so protective of his crew, and seems to experience separation anxiety.

His role on the ship could've possibly been either the Lieutenant, or Navigator.

Here's a link to a timeline theory that I made a while back as well.

Aaaaand that's pretty much all we've got. Exquisite angst material if I do say so myself, hopefully you’re not more confused than before xD

#octonauts theory #octonauts #captain barnacles #we all yearn for the day either silvergate or meomi themselves gives us even a drop of content #we are so hungry #famished #but fr a lot of it is fan speculation- it's still a ''kid show'' at the end of the day so if we ever get content it'll probly be very light #unless they decide to just go feral one day and do another manatees-level angst episode and give us everything we want lmaooo #but until then we just get to sit here and <3 think thoughts <3

Started my first full rewatch of BCS and I'm losing my MIND over the scene that introduces Nacho. At the beginning they barely show you his face, and then progressively more and more emphasis is put onto his character in particular (rather than Tuco's two other guys) until he lie detectors Jimmy.

BUT I just noticed this little moment where, when the kids are getting their legs broken, Jimmy turns away and Nacho makes this little head movement at him like "Hey, you did this. You have to watch." And Jimmy turns around and does and it's just AHHHH I love Nacho so much

Ya boi has decided they want to do the skytober challenge but with screenshots instead

[Day 1: Manatees]

#skytober #sky cotl #skychildrenoflightfanart #sky children of the light #manatee #i honestly thought they were seals #besides a way out i love sky cotl too :)

[owlf45]

Here is an ask about anything. 3 species of seals can filter feed like whales and also manatee brains are smooth. 0/10 would not recommend. Their brains look weird.

oh my god you weren't lying, that shit really is polished

#do manatees have any thoughts in their brain #my asks #WAIT YOU CAN EDIT TAGS NOW??? #YOU DONT HAVE TO TYPE EVERYTHING OUT AGAIN BC OF A TYPO... I SEE I SEE

Having thoughts about the walrus fairy poll (a dangerous pass time, I know) and I'm trying to find a way to explain like... how a small inconsequential thing can be the harbinger of something more significant, and that that's where true comedy/terror/wonder lies.

A big part of my sense of humour is 'implication'. When playing Cards Against Humanity it's basically a guaranteed laugh to play a card that just says 'a hat full of shit' but I find it funnier to play something that you have to think about for a fraction of a second before 'oh god no!' as you realise what's being implied. (Nothing against the cards that say things like 'a monkey with a huge dick' - for one of my friends those are her absolute FAVOURITE cards. That's exactly her style of humour. Love that about her.)

But the idea that a fairy at your doorstep is 'easier' than a walrus at your doorstep doesn't track with me.

A walrus on your doorstep brings up so many questions, of course. How did it get here? How did it knock? Why didn't anyone notice, or did they notice? What's going on???

But even being able to engage with this bizarre situation is what makes it attainable. Yes it COULD have walked (dragged?) itself all the way here from the sea. Yes it could have escaped from a zoo or unethical neighbour. Yes it could have knocked on the door by messing around with it until it sounded like a knock that got your attention - or someone else knocked for it and then ran away and hid in a bush. Ridiculous - sure - but something I can engage with.

A fairy at the door? Oh easy, it's just a fairy, and they can knock.

...except it's not actually that simple.

I have to argue with my mum about bigfoot sometimes (long story) and she tries to Occam's Razor me with this:

"You walk outside and there's footsteps from a bigfoot in the snow. Now what's more likely? That a person went out of their way to make fake-bigfoot shoes so they could leave footprints in the snow, and was so careful about it that they didn't leave any trace of their deception, and correctly matched the stride and weight of a much larger creature, and blah blah all these other complicated things they'd need to do, and no one saw them do it...... or that it was just a bigfoot going for a walk in the snow? Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So which of these two is simpler? I creature going for a walk or a human messing around with an extremely complicated and well executed prank?"

The answer is that a human doing it is simpler. Even though it sounds more complicated. Even though it takes longer to explain. Even though it requires an element of luck to pull off. It is still the simpler explaination. Why? BECAUSE THE BIG PICTURE IMPLICATIONS.

If a bigfoot 'just went for a walk' it certainly sounds like a simpler explanation. Except that bigfoots don't exist. So if they did then we need to explain why one's never been seen, or heard, or caught. Why there's nothing that's disrupting the ecosystem like a bigfoot creature would. No plants or animals are getting eaten by this undetected creature. Why there's no hair, or poop, or DNA. Why there's no bones or fossils or corpses. Why there's no 'marks on trees' or whatever else things an animal/creature leaves behind when it lives somewhere. And why following the footprints into the wood never leads to finding a goddamn bigfoot at the end of the trail.

That's how I feel about 'a fairy on my doorstep is simpler than a walrus' because it's not, it's actually extremely more complicated than finding a walrus. Yes, even though the walrus has to do all this complicated stuff to be able to show up and knock on my door. It's not NEARLY as world-shattering as what finding a fairy on the doorstep would imply about reality as I understand it.

You're goddamn right I'd be surprised to find a fairy - especially in knowing that that's what it is.

That's right: I'm asking how do I know it's a fairy? Do I just know? Do I just instinctively know what it is upon seeing it? How could I? Even with stories and media painting a picture for me of what a fairy might look like, why in the world would I know AND BELIEVE that the thing on my doorstep is a fairy? And yet apparently I do. I open the door and there is a fairy and I know this and believe this. I know and believe this as surely as if there were a walrus on my doorstep - a walrus being a thing I have never seen in real life, only in records and art, and yet if I met one I'd know it and believe it - you're telling me the same is true of meeting a fairy on my doorstep? THE IMPLICATIONS! Is the fairy affecting my brain in a 'BE NOT AFRAID' kind of way? Is the existance and recognition of fairies actually already embedded in my brain? Maybe I have seen them before. Maybe I've seen them and they made me forgot, but now I see one again I instantly know what it is. If there's one fairy are there more fairies? Where are they in the ecosystem? Why is there no evidence of that? Do they exist outside the ecosystem? Is fairyland real? A reality seporate from our own where all the fairies live? That's a hell of a thought. Or is there actually a conspiracy to keep fairy existence a secret from regular people? Could such a thing work? Apparently it does work, because here's a goddamn fairy, they're real.

And on and on and on and on the horrifying implications, they don't stop, they keep spilling like a waterfall as all understanding of the world is washed away before the witnessing of this fairy on my doorstep.

Oh a walrus? Yeah, that's strange. It probably escaped from a zoo. How did it knock? I dunno, maybe they trained it at the zoo.

#fairy walrus #also running through my head are the following thoughts: #1) that post where someone rang a doorbell for a cat and walked away and realised what they'd done when a man answered and was surprised #2) putting fairy and walrus together somehow reminds me of that old thing about how mermaids are just manatees #3) that episode of the TV show Angel where there's a running joke about 'cowboys vs astronauts' cos that's what this is right now #4) also the title of a story called 'The Thing on the Doorstep' kept popping into my head during this. I think that was a Lovecraft one? #5) but yeah this was about being 'surprised' so maybe the thing you can't understand leaves you more numb than surprised? I'd still be shoo #and post

Imagine mer-people having manatees as disability service animals. They'd be such a solid, comforting presence to their person. (Also they'd need really wide vests.)
