A quick guide to translating Bruce’s grunting (by Jason):

Singular grunt = hello/good morning/general acknowledgement of your existence 

Low, soft grunt = thinking/doing math mentally/too busy to acknowledge whatever you just said

Snort = I find whatever you just said amusing but I’m too manly to laugh

Grumpy morning grunt (generally made at doorway of kitchen) = I need coffee

Quiet hmm noise = someone messed up and this benefits me

Slightly louder hmm noise = I messed up and this definitely does not benefit me

Sharp exhale through nose = I’m injured but trying to hide it

Soft, extended exhale through nose = why do I have kids again

this one of those pieces where I look at it and think “oh that’s funny, i’ll reblog,” and then look at the art medium and lose my mind

I took my second ADHD pill a little too late I guess because it was suddenly 4 am and I made this thing about why parasitic organisms are shaped like ways and how to consider that for your fiction settings. Raw text version below the cut for people with busted seeing:

Oh this really blew up. Here are some real world ectoparasites I’d like to share:

Here are Argulus fish lice, a large family found in both fresh and saltwater. They’re transparent, scale-shaped and almost invisible - even a friendly cleaner fish might miss a few! The black dots are their eyes and the large circles behind those are a pair of powerful suction cups! Their little legs can scoot them around the host surface without ever having to break their suction.

This is a species of “sucking” louse, a group that almost exclusively infests mammals, and it has a very long snout that most other lice don’t need, so if you only found the parasite, you could already deduce the existence of a very large or tough-skinned mammal in the area! Specifically, this type of louse affects only elephants and warthogs :)

This completely different louse on the other hand has an extremely compact, sturdy body with stumpy, exceptionally powerful gripping claws, so that tells you it lives on something that would easily shake off other lice: it lives on elephant seals that can dive thousands of feet deep. Even its antennae are stubby, so they don’t break off in a powerful current.

And here’s a typical looking flea (this one is from a hedgehog!) with all its spines and bristles, all pointing backwards, which allow it to “swim” at high speed through host fur, BUT WAIT!!!

This flea has mites! A parasite’s parasites are known as “hyperparasites,” though some mites simply use other insects as transportation, so I’m not sure if these mites are feeding on the flea, or just also happen to feed on its host. Fleas groom themselves with their bristly legs like any other insect, but there’s no way that can dislodge these smooth, flat mites, evolved to nestle perfectly under the flea’s scales.

What in the parasite-ception…

[bogleech]

To this day I’ve not seen a positive ID on those mites, and I think I first saw that photo in the late 90s?

having such an obvious favorite character trope is life ruining bro

[schlarklezyaoi]

i can’t say shit about liking a character that acts slightly in a very specific way without being hit with a tidal wave of “of course you would” to live is to suffer

Oh, Charles. The hubris. Honey. You had to know this was a possibility. Why would you tempt Apollo like that.

[dzamie]

I love how we don't even need Apollo to be captioned, it's just "he's holding a dodgeball and looks Greek statue, of COURSE it's Apollo delivering the gift of prophecy unto unsuspecting tumblr users"

I know I'm preaching to the choir but like. You know you can wear masks for other sicknesses. Not just covid. If you have the flu or a cold or a stomach bug you can still wear a mask to help prevent the spread of it to others if you insist on going out! I just think it's the polite thing to do

[puttingherinhistory]

In most East Asian countries it's considered really rude to go out in public without a mask if you have cold or flu symptoms. Really wish westerners could adopt this

[egberts]

one of the most fucked up aspects of being an adult is really how life-goes-on everything is. like you can be dealing with the most fucked up trauma-drama-grief and still have to sleep and eat food to survive and like. poop. pooping while you're really sad shouldn't be a thing but it is. we don't have a say in the matter. life goes on

love reading an older fic (10-20 years+) because you get these hilarious author’s notes but ALSO because you get the occasional “shout out to Jessica….without you telling me to write this fic it wouldn’t exist” and then the author proceeds to write the best 100k fic you’ve ever read and the whole time you’re thinking to yourself, where is Jessica these days? does she know she sparked this amazing fic? shout out to Jessica hope you’re doing well girl
