Oh also you do have to read real books. Like you have to read the books. You can’t just read fanfic, those are not books. You can if you just want to write fanfic, but if you want to write books, you kinda gotta read books. No, posts do not count.

I've probably invested too much time into this lark.

Don’t worry, guys. Carl is clearly a brachiosaurus, which lived during the Jurassic period. (And before anyone says our lil’ boy Steve is a velociraptor and therefore puts our comic in the late cretaceous, aka the time of the comet–that lil guy could easily be a compsognathus or a caudipteryx, both Jurassic-era species of small theropod dinosaurs. So the light getting bigger every night is going to pass by harmlessly, and Steve and Carl can go on enjoying the stars together until they die of old age, since Carl has very few natural predators at his size and I bet he’ll protect Steve, if he needs it (though small, fast and carnivorous as Steve is, he probably won’t). 

So it’s all good!! 

[gardenofroseandthorn]

That entire response explaining how these two characters didn’t die a fiery death but instead lived long and happy lives literally made my day.

[amurderofkittens]

I was ready to be heartbroken again. Thank you for making it happy after all.

[starcrossedconverse]

sorry if anyone followed me for normal reasons my last ten posts are about car sex and getting ships pregnant

[starcrossedconverse]

where do you think the baby bump would even be on a pregnant ship

[starcrossedconverse]

idkkkk is she still sea worthy. can she even float like this...

[starcrossedconverse]

WAIT-- i think ive got it.

pregnancy under all the important looking stuff. surely she can sail the seven seas now

[blancdasta]

YEA MERRILY SURELY SHE CAN !

[starcrossedconverse]

i think the bottom opens up and a litter of sail boats float to the top of the water and eventually they grow up to be Big Boats (tm)

[starcrossedconverse]

hi guys, after a long and complicated pregnancy, unfortunately the ship (and two of the babies) didn't make it. more of an explanation under the cut.

as this is a dark time for us all, we shall hold a funeral for our beloved boats.

How many vampires do you think have been hit by a car backing up in a parking lot because the driver couldn't see their reflection

I’ve never considered it but you’re really shining light on what’s probably a very serious issue

[icebox005]

[mizuthe-cat]

I don't think every character ever needs to be shipped with someone maybe they just need to be shipped in some sort of box alone to a location

[dragongirlsweetie]

it's kind of insane how disasterous of an effect it can have on your psyche and development as an adult if people thought you were annoying when you were 8

I have a confession to make... I thought the idea of wireless headphones like air pods were so so stupid when they first came out. But having owned wireless headphone pods with a case I have to admit that I do enjoy them quite a lot. But we should still eat the spleen of every person who lobbied to phase out the headphone jack in electronics

[mariasklodowskastwixbar]

Wireless headphones: great, can move around without having to drag my phone or laptop with me, chord doesn't get caught on doorknobs anymore

No headphone jack in my phone: terrible, awful, everyone involved should get hit with a hammer

Hanahaki disease is a psychosomatic illness. It's a thing that your body does in response to stress over constantly repressing/concealing your feelings in settings with high background magic. It's like you've been ignoring pain for a long time and suddenly your vision starts going dark, because your affected body is just YANKING on random alerts trying to get you to PAY ATTENTION there is a PROBLEM. Yes the flowers do really exist. So do non-magical psychosomatic symptoms. The flowers aren't special.

This does of course open up the trope to options for non-romantic concealed feelings. Which I think is great. There is something viscerally satisfying about the person who seems so outwardly chipper coughing and hacking and spitting up Depression Flowers so now everyone has to know they're hurting. Isn't there?

[specificwatcher]

Hanahaki, but it's a child that feels neglected by their parents.

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.

Hanahaki, the disease that gives you three options: confront your feelings, destroy the love you hold for someone or perish choking on roses.

[totally-cis-offical]

Imagine this for transness

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Hanahaki but it’s your body desperately needing you to love and care for it while your mind is trapped in the body that doesn’t fit, that’s wrong as it destroys you from the inside out the longer you aren’t able to get help to make your body feel like you
