something pretty bad happened to me.

The significance of Dennis feeling comfortable enough to leave his belongings strewn about Trin's apartment is glossed over too much. He used to be homeless, and now he's able to leave his things out and unaccounted for without panicking because he's comfortable with and trusts Trinity to not kick him out

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

I can’t write this right now because of my long fic but I’ve been thinking of a Garsantos soulmate au. tw:self harm, suicide

In this world, soulmates can feel each other’s pain and it’s from Yolanda’s point of view. Anyway, since her and Trinity are ten ish years apart, Yolanda spends most of her childhood thinking that she doesn’t have a soulmate and she’s kind of bullied for it leading to have developing a messed up sense of self and love.

A few months after her tenth birthday, she feels the first spark of pain and she’s ecstatic. She gets a book and writes down every single feeling desperate to prove to herself that she does have a soulmate and she can’t wait to meet her. As the years go by, she’s almost always in pain, a few bruises on her knees, some joint wear and tear from overuse (since Trinity does gymnastics) and then one day, she feels sharp cuts along her thighs. She cries for her soulmate and wishes they had met and she was there to comfort her. The cutting continues unfortunately, leading to Yolanda deciding that she wants to do psychology at college to better help people like her soulmate. And then on the day of her final college exam, she’s overcome with immense pain like she’s being burnt from the inside out, followed by a feeling of emptiness. The emptiness lasts only a few minutes but she’d always remember the way it felt, like she was dead. After her experience, she ends up not being able to do her finals, sinks into depression and basically struggles with what to do. She blames her soulmate for this, and hates that she’s so connected to a stranger, this is what leads to her playboy ways, but she still can’t get over the younger her that wanted to help people in pain. She decides to do medicine and work in trauma with the sickest patients so that no one would ever have to feel how it feels to die anymore.

and then we get to season one Garsantos and the scalpel incident. Trinity bends down after stabbing her, and Yolanda is all like ‘stop, it’s okay,” but Trinity’s bending to clutch her own foot.

I'm back for my second guess on the easter egg of chapter 4:

It's the numbers-- Before the shift starts we have them count up "She has her phone in one hand..." "with the same two fingers she used in Garcia" "her top three most erotic experiences" "after four rounds of chemo" "looked like my five-year-old brother wrote it"

Then during the shift we have the count down: (easiest example is the section in 1:00 AM, but it happens multiple times throughout! VERY cool)

🎉🎉🎉

Yes, it’s the numbers!! 🌺🪻🌻🪷🥀🌼🌷🌸🌹💐

It actually starts at "zero" when Santos is miserable while talking to her mother, going 0-1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1, and then from there it repeats 5-4-3-2-1 / 5-4-3-2-1 / 5-4-3-2-1 over and over until hitting "zero" again when Noah dies. It stops for a while after that, only ticking back up when Garcia comes to the roof, finally ending at "five" as the two of them share a teasing, happy moment

There's some symbolism there, and it's also meant to subconsciously key you into how Santos' anxiety feels while establishing one of her primary coping mechanisms—counting

And fuck it was a challenge, going through the chapter so many times to plant them where I wanted, blend them in as naturally as possible, keep them in order, and ensure I didn't include any extras ("one" and "two" specifically were very hard to avoid)

So, since you figured it out, I'll list fifteen options for KMG Garsantos within the categories of fluff, smut, and angst, and you can pick one to become a future fic of roughly 5k words. Note—I won't start writing this until after the epilogue's done since I want to respect that as a priority, but I can post a shorter sneak peek in the meantime

Fluff: (1) A holiday with Garcia or Finn's fam; (2) Proposal; (3) Santos' birthday + a cute gift; (4) Travel to a new country; (5) Fall activities with the sub-options of: (5a) A corn maze & haunted house, (5b) Apple orchard & pumpkin carving, or (5c) Halloween

Smut: (6) Sex tape; (7) High sex; (8) Remote control vibrator; (9) Phone sex; (10) Any sex they've already had, but switch them (ex. Santos riding Garcia's face, Garcia fucking Santos in a public place, etc.)

Angst: (11) Garcia kicks Santos out of the OR; (12) Garcia breaks her hand; (13) Santos' mother dies; (14) One of them has a major health issue; (15) Santos hides something big from Garcia causing Garcia to ask for a "break"

If you don't wanna choose, I can also decide for you, no pressure!!

(I hate that I had to upload this to youtube to link it here, but I love doing things for the bit)

Before I choose, please allow me to sing your praises just a bit more:

It is so incredible just how much meticulous planning has gone into this piece of fanfiction. Your work is truly aspirational. I feel like I could read it a hundred times over to learn from it and still only scratch the surface (and as I annotate I'd probably end up looking like Charlie from It's Always Sunny trying to prove Pepe Silva doesn't exist). Your work challenges and comforts, entertains and evokes emotion--it is quite literally the entire package and then some. So, thank you, Jeanette for creating this piece, for interacting with your readers, and for continuing to write (and write...and write).

I've narrowed my choices down to five, so why don't we put the rest to a poll. Make it a sort of collaborative decision, hm?

Santos' birthday

Apple orchard & pumpkin carving

Phone sex

Santos' mother dies

Author's Choice Wildcard

See what I did there?

[jeanettemiere]

reminder to visit museums, even if you feel out of place. you feel out of place because there is an established concept of inaccessibility of "high culture" to the masses, purposefully developed to distinguish between social classes.

take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.

a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.

GO TO MUSEUMS!!!!!!!
