HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!

[blumineck]

How hard is it to dive in front of an arrow to save your loved one?

Feat: most of the cast of min-maxed (minus Jacques who apparently wants to look after his body, and Megan who wanted to let the boys have their moment) and several of their partners!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch a D&D game with these nerds…

Min-Maxed

The party of deadly nerds. More coming soon!

[aranarumei]

really in love with ch 54 of sasaki to miyano bc it’s like. sasaki and miyano are having a sleepover! could things get… a little spicy?! ☆(>ᴗ•) during lunch break tashiro confronts the inevitability of death.

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

My toxic trait is that if I find a product I like I want to keep using the same product forever. It's not even brand loyalty. It's called stop changing and discontinuing everything.

07.08 ★ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TASHIRO!

[yelagarar]

MERRY BELATED BIRTHDAY

Because it was Tashiro day, I decided to draw Tashiro Gonbashiro (trust me that's totally his name).

I found some paper with a sunflower on it and thought it was meant to be. I may have started this at 1 am and finished at like 5 am but trust me I am a very healthy well person.

I don't normally draw like this but I do rarely sometimes so dkkekdoebrjfoossj. I am very tired and stressed but drawing is very fun 😼

I'm gonna redraw this on digital when I get the chance. Probably (hopefully) sometime this month.

[Project Hail Mary spoilers]

Eva Stratt who insisted on being the first to be tested for the comatose gene

Eva Stratt who made sure the ship computer knew the crew's exact coffee orders, even Grace, down to the most precise measurements

Eva Stratt who illegally acquired thousands of video games for the hail mary crew, despite the fact they'd be in a coma for the majority of the trip

Eva Stratt who sent a school teacher into space because she knew he was a fundamentally good man

Eva Stratt who would betray the closest thing she had to a friend because she knew there was no other choice

Eva Stratt who would do anything to save the Earth, no matter the cost

Eva Stratt who desperately wished she could be the one to make the sacrifice instead

Eva Stratt who couldn't, no matter how much she wanted to

Eva Stratt who studied history, and had seen the way the world would become

Eva Stratt who was terrified by it

Eva Stratt who knew she would would go without credit

Eva Stratt who knew no statues would be built of her

Eva Stratt who knew she would never be a hero

Eva Stratt who did it all anyway

Eva Stratt who had to

I think having the main theme of your movie being that bravery does not nessicarily mean willingness to subject yourself to pain and fear but rather rising to the challenge once you’re already in that situation is such an important message given our circumstances right now

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

wish lion's mane jellyfish would stop doing that

[coastalqueerlive]

doing what?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i was going to say doing THAT

but apparently this photo is fake which is an enormous burst of relief to my already fragile, suddering psyche.

sadly though THIS photo of a barrel jellfish is real

don’t like that

[getgoodloser]

Yeah sure that photo is fake, but what ISN'T fake is the fact that the largest lion's mane jellyfish found was about 36 meters long. The average blue whale is about 25 meters long btw.

[getgoodloser]

Here if you'd like to see it:

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

we DO NOT TALK ABOUT TENTACLE LENGTH that is VERBOTEN

[wolfy8tyu]

damn, the girth on those tendrils tho

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT TENTACLE GIRTH

[snowthesprite]

Idk what the fuck yall talken about but I see jellyfish and by god do I love dem on bread.

Some of my favorite jellyfish (sorry if I go on a tanget and vear off jellyfish)

are the Stygiomedusa gigantea, which I believe is also called the blanket jellyfish, but like dude look up a video of it moving it is chilling and fantastic! This thing is 10 meters long, so not the largest here, but ohohoho look at my love

It is a deep sea jellyfish and is one of the largest invertebrate predators known. However, according to Cambridge, it has been consistently recorded in the twilight and sunlight depth zones down south so do with that what you will :)

If we want to keep going down the large and length category of ocean creatures, allow me to introduce the current longest recorded ocean animal. A deep sea siphonophore that clocks in at around 46 meters; my beautiful death halo

Technically siphonophores are hundreds upon hundreds of tinier organisms that grouped together to make a bigger one, but for all intents and purposes, this is one animal. Some of them are incredibly beautiful!

However there is also ones not so pretty, main one was something I saw a month or so ago and it looked like someone had fused like a dozen human limbs together and they were flailing to move and jesus christ yall can go mentally scar yourselves.

Man I can’t find a good picture but Deepsea Oddities has a really good video on them (and on other ocean related things… mostly deep sea)

[jenn-the-mostly-harmless]

Oh hey, I drew a siphonophore mermaid awhile back, or as I like to call her (them?) a siphonosiren.

Get back at AI by drinking two large glasses of water before creating any art.

This is definitely not a trick to get artists to drink more water
