i dont bite people anymore. but i did as a child cos i thought i was a werepuppy. also i was still mormon so i would go into the school bathroom at 11:11 everyday (not a mormon thing i was just obsessed with witches n pretended i was one in 5th grade) and pray that god would turn me into a little dog so i could stop going to school. and i was always like "if you don't turn me into a little dog i will STOP BELIEVING IN YOU" and he didn't so i did.

[schizm-deactivated]

i think i even complained to my mom like "you said god will always answer my prayers but he hasn't turned me into a dog yet so??? bullshit" and she was like "oh honey 😊 god🌞 works in ✨mysterious✨ ways, and He🌞 knows whats best for you...turning you into a dog🐕 isnt the path🛣️ He🌞 has set for you🙏😚" and i was like. well that sucks i hate him

anyway im into petplay now

SQUID GAME (2021) — ep1: red light, green light

What’s really cool about this is that cephalopod (octopus, squid, etc.) intelligence evolved completely separately from intelligence in tetrapods (which includes primates, dolphins, crows… basically any other intelligent animals you can think of). Cephalopods are very, very far away from us on the tree of life. For context, you and a starfish are more closely related than you and an octopus. The last common ancestor of humans and cephalopods was the so-called Urbilaterian, the hypothetical first animal with a left-right symmetric body. This animal almost certainly had, at most, an extremely simple nervous system, without anything resembling a brain.

All this is to say that the fact that this octopus appears to be dreaming means one of two things. Either

a) dreaming is a very, very old thing indeed, going directly back to the Urbilaterian. This would mean that almost every animal, from insects to starfish to sea slugs to newts, is likely to have the ability to dream in some capacity or another (unless they have specifically lost it by evolutionary simplification).

or

b) dreaming evolved entirely independently in cephalopods when they developed greater intelligence. This would suggest, at least, that there’s something very fundamental about dreaming related to intelligence itself, which causes it to emerge independently when sufficient intelligence arises.

Needless to say, either of these outcomes would be really very cool.

oooooooooooh omg hi are you back? welcome back? ?? I think you maybe just accidentally reblogged from the wrong blog but it's been a minute since I heard from you so it's still pretty cool and exciting to me just to see you alive haha

I’m…making an attempt at coming back. Lol. I’m alive! Yay!

After the absolute battering I’ve gone thru with life (my job, the previous presidency, the plague), I feel like I’m in a place where I’m ready to come back and once again positively contribute to all my fandoms :D

It kinda sucks tho cuz my dash is mostly dead or full of new fandoms that ppl have moved onto. So I sort of feel like I’m starting from scratch despite having several well established blogs.

[ahjareyn]

Where can you find me?

On AO3.

I just posted a Zoro/Sanji story.

Hopefully I’ll get around to revisiting my Zutara stuff soon...

Until then, it’s been real.

Just got another negative review on my old ff.net account. 

And with that, I’m deleting everything except the prequel story, just to piss off self-entitled readers even more. Because really, it is NOT okay to throw sarcasm in an author’s face to make them feel “guilty” over you “wasting your time” reading their work. 

I’ve left several big fat notices that I’ve abandoned this multi-storied work from years ago. And yet people continue to read it. And lately, people have apparently started thinking I owe them something for that. 

Nope. I don’t.

So now, all the other stories that would have given readers at least some fulfillment are gone. Everyone can suffer with the prequel and wonder where it all went from there.

This dance is called the Dabke if anyone wants to know more! I’m pretty sure the above version is from somewhere in Palestine, but it’s also a huge deal in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. According to legend, it originated in stamping on the dirt roofs in the houses of the region to compact the mixture of clay and straw and became a dance eventually.

More fun things: A Dabke Flashmob from Beirut in 2011
