"lol chihuahua liker" i cannot imagine having dislike in your heart for such a small creature. sorry if you've been exposed to untrained and/or overstimulated chihuahuas but basically they're little and sometimes they get cold so you have to give them sweaters

This cute platypus 

(via)

[big-ass-magnet]

I fully understand why westerners thought the platypus was a hoax at first. I’m looking at a real live one moving around and it STILL looks fake.

[bogleech]

The one thing that could have made them sound any more made up would have been if you said the boys have secret viper fangs that can absolutely fuck you up with venom, and they do, on their goddamn feet.

[special-lucky-chosen-one]

cursed platypus facts: * five (5) X chromosomes * only the left ovary works * produces milk but has no nipples. the mother just kind of sweats milk out their chest. nature is beautiful * was nearly called the “duckmole” * swims with its weird fish eyes and ears closed, hunting entirely by electroreception * born with teeth, but then they fall out

Take care of yourselves everyone, it’s going to be a very rough couple of days. It’s going to be a very rough couple of months. It sucks. I’m so sorry to everyone in this community, to the CCs and his family. It’s such a rough hand he was dealt. Drink water, make sure to eat, reach out to friends if you need, try your best not to beat yourself up, I know Techno would want all of us to remember him at his best and be happy for the good times we got. I don’t know how we’re supposed to move on like this but we’ll get through it and always remember the amazing man he was. Technoblade never dies.

[demonboyhalo]

we will always remember you. you will be immortal, no matter how many years pass, because in the time you were alive you deeply touched the hearts of millions. you helped so many people. so so so many people who will never get to meet or talk to you, but who will always be thankful for the laughter you put into this cruel fucking world. i hope you know you helped us. that you made the world a genuinely happier place while you were here, and that we will never forget that. we will always have your memory. you will never die.

[batwritings]

Hi friends...wow. This...I feel like "sucks" is the biggest understatement but it's the only word that will come out right now. This man was such a light in so many lives, my own included, and he is still very near and dear to me on a whole other personal level.

I just wanted to come on to say that my DMs? Are ALWAYS open. We are all grieving this, together, as a community. We need to be here for each other now more than ever.

Remember that it is okay and healthy to grieve. I feel like everyone has their own relationships with people we look up to and everyone will process this differently and that's totally okay. Whatever you are feeling, get it out, be it in writing, art, talking to people, whatever your heart needs.

You are not alone, and you are loved.

Rest easy, Technoblade. You will never die.
