On the 21st day of the month of September…in an early year of a decade not too long before our own…the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to our very existence…and this terrifying enemy surfaced…as such enemies often do…in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places…
Happy Little Shop of Horrors Day!!
THERE IS A SPIDER SOMEWHERE IN MY ROOM. I WILL NOT SLEEP THIS NIGHT.
"Oh, don't worry, it's more afraid of you than you are of it" YEAH MUM I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT
IT WAS CRAWLING IN MY DRAWER SO I SHUT IT AND CAME BACK WITH A GLASS AND A PIECE OF CARDBOARD TO GET IT OUTSIDE BUT IT ISN'T THERE ANYMORE AND ALL MY CLOTHES NEED TO BE BURNT
THIS IS A HUGE SPIDER WE ARE DISCUSSING. HUGE. I AM MILDLY TERRIFIED.
this doesn’t fit my blog at all but i had to post it here because this story is legit the wildest thing i’ve seen this month and everyone needs to see it. unmute this I PROMISE YOU WON’T REGRET IT
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what hogwarts house do you think peter parker would be in
Hufflepuff!! The boy is such an angel
I would say ravenclaw if we're talking mcu, the star wars trick in civil war was thinking outside of the box and the webs were pretty ingenius. The suit wasn't bad either, and he goes to an academic school full of ravenclaw wannabes.
Morally grey: A character who does too much bad to be a good person, but does too much good to be a bad person.
Sympathetic villain: A character who is a bad person, but whose backstory/character arc makes you feel sorry for or sympathetic towards them.
Anti-hero: A character who does bad things to achieve a good goal.
Anti-villain: A character who does bad things to achieve a goal that they believe to be good, but is actually messed up.
Just plain annoying: A character who does bad things to achieve a bad goal but has one throwaway line about a hard childhood that is expected to put them into one of the aforementioned categories when in reality it just makes them annoying
it's okay you can say severus snape
Okay so today is meme day and I’ve already seen someone dressed as the “you know i had to do it to ‘em” guy, someone brought Life and poured lemons into their friend’s hands, and someone has already screamed “wHOEVER THREW THAT PIECE OF PAPER, YOUR MOM’S A HO” and honestly today is going to be so great
Update: at least three people had mannequin heads, someone had a spider-man costume and goggles and was screaming “it is not wednesday my dudes!”, i’ve seen like 2 road work ahead signs, one girl was kermit the frog, 4 people were the arthur clenched fist meme, and to top it all off
someone was wearing th i s the whole day
meme day at my school:
my friend dressed as the "you know i had to do it to 'em" guy and couldn't find the proper shoes so he just wore crocs and yelled "FLEXXX" at everyone. Another one of my friends finished a can of pop and gave it to one of his friends, who yeeted (yote?) it. a girl in my science class brought a croissant and a plate and her friend scared her repeatedly just for that line.
allegedly there was someone in an inflatable dinosaur costume. one of my friends dressed as spiderman with sunglasses and there was a full on shouting match about whether he was "it is wednesday my dudes" or "spiderman slapping other spiderman on the bed".
in conclusion: meme day is good. spirit days are only good when they are something the students actually care about, and i have a strong feeling that memes are the only thing most of us care about.
Shuri when she finds out Peter fought Capt: How did you take down Captain America?
Peter in a terrible German Accent: I shot him in Zee legs because his shields zee size of a dinner plate, and he’s an idiot.
Steve: *looks down sadly at his shield*

Let's test this post
Do y'all remember being a kid and trying to read in the car while it was dark outside and your parents wouldn’t let you turn on the light so you would try to grab snatches of sentences when you passed by street lights
How does one read in the car without getting sick I don't understand
I don't know if I want to look or not I haven't seen it yet help me
Would you guys say Hermione is impulsive?
Hermione likes to think that she's logical but she is quite impulsive. That hug in Philosopher's Stone, punching Malfoy, attacking Ron after he returned...
She lets her emotions rule her in quite a few parts of the book and I love that people percieve her as a strong character because of it
my parents aren’t teaching me life lessons.
#i need some adults to TEACH ME SHIT ABOUT LIFE
I’m an adult.
Some shit about life, from a bonafide adult:
even if you get along great with your family you will get along even better with them after moving out
generic is almost always just as good as name brand. But there are some things you never buy generic, including: peanut butter, ketchup, liquid NyQuil, Chips-Ahoy chewy chocolate chip cookies
just imagine the person on the other end of the phone hates talking on the phone as much as you do. Even a receptionist. I worked as one and I hate talking on the phone
at least once in your life you will go to Wal-mart to buy something under $20 like an ironing board or something and your debit card will get rejected. No one will judge. Everyone at some point in their lives has had $2.98 in their bank account.
thrift stores
everyone else is too busy panicking about everyone else noticing every tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about them to notice any tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about you
you will screw up. a lot. you live and you learn. and when you start to think too hard about that embarrassing thing that happened and how you wish you could change it, just tell yourself that what’s done is done. There’s no changing it, so just forget it and move on. It’s the only way to stay sane.
do the dishes before the sink grows its own ecosystem
you can’t put Dawn dishsoap in the dishwasher.
if you are the only one in the aisle at the grocery store, and you need to get from one end to the other without even looking at anything in that aisle, then you should totally cart-surf down the aisle. Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. Hold on to the little things. They make all the difference.
never try to make cake from scratch at 3am. You end up with a topographical map of Middle Earth.
15% tip.
the best way to get money for food is to tell your grandparents about how you basically live on microwaved mac and cheese. Their horror may result in twenty bucks and orders to go out and get yourself “a real dinner”.
sometimes life sucks, and knowing that it might get better doesn’t always make it suck any less, but you’ll never get to the non-sucky days without enduring the suckiness.
no seriously, NEVER put Dawn in your dishwasher
Do not buy generic brand spaghetti sauce either.
Always check the type of light bulb that goes in lamps. A 60w is not interchangeable with a 40w.
Dollar store batteries work just as well as store brand.
Reward yourself from time to time when you do things that you needed to get done. It’s a good way to remind yourself to do them. Going out to pay a bill? Get Starbucks or something you don’t get often. Rewards don’t have to be huge, they can be small things like that.
Rice, pasta, flour, sugar, cheese, eggs, milk, a pack of chicken, a pack of frozen veggies and a well stocked spice cabinet go a long way food-wise. Splurge and get the biggest container of rice you can. You don’t have to go back and buy it again anytime soon and it makes a TON of meals in the meantime.
Rice can be cooked on the stove. You don’t need a fancy rice cooker. Two parts water to every one part rice (two cups water for one cup of rice for example). Get your water boiling, add rice, put a plate or lid on it, put it on low for 20 minutes. It should be done.
Keep a calendar on your pc of bill due dates. If your bills are set up at inconvenient times, like all of the services started on the first or something, then call up the company and find out if you can get your billing date switched to something more manageable. A lot of places do try to work with you.
There is no shame in calling a company and asking for an extension on a bill. Let them know what you can pay, pay that amount, and they arrange when the rest of the payment is required. This can stop you from having services shut off man. It shows responsibility on your part.
Take time to eat, even when you don’t feel like eating. Your body needs energy to live.
Wash or rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. It prevents gross caked on junk.
“The Works” is an excellent cheap toilet cleaner.
MAGIC. FUCKING. ERASERS. THEY WORK ON EVERYTHING JUST DON’T SCRUB HARD. I took the ring out of our bathtub with one. Also generic ones work just as well.
Keep some bleach around but if you use it for cleaning? Dillute it. There’s rarely ever a case where you need to pout straight bleach on anything. A cap full or two in a bucket of water works just fine.
DO NOT MIX CLEANERS. Chemical reactions are can be very dangerous. Here’s a good list. (Note that vinegar and baking soda can actually be a good combo for removing smells from things but it’s not very good at actually -cleaning-.)
If you drink? Don’t take meds at the same time it’s just not good.
Make sure you check the dosages on your pill bottles. No one wants to accidentally overdose on cough syrup or ibuprofen.
If you have a uterus make sure you have a heating pad and ibuprofen on hand for the pain. Hot baths also generally help and Ginger Tea is excellent for any nausea.
Buy a first aid kit. It’s worth it in the long run.
You can often do your taxes online at places like TurboTax.
Here’s some good sex ed resources because I had to explain what a yeast infection was recently.
Petroleum jelly (aka Vaseline) is good for chapped lips and you can get a decent sized tube or tub of it (generic brand version) for cheaper/same price as Chapstick.
KEEP TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT IN YOUR HOUSE FOR CUTS AND SCRAPES AND SORES.
~~Medications~~
Over the counter medications (stuff you can buy right off the shelf no prescription needed) have a name brand and a generic name. ALWAYS buy generic if it’s available it is literally the same thing and way cheaper usually.
Some names to remember when you’re looking for meds!
Acetaminophen = Tylenol
Used to treat pain and reduce fever. Do not take with Ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen = Advil, Midol, Motrin
Used for pain and fever, is an anti-inflammtory. Is good for period cramps because it is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
Naproxen = Aleve, Naprosyn
Treats fever, pain, arthritis pain, gout, period cramps, tendinitis, headache, backache, and toothache. Is also an NSAID.
Acetaminophen + Asprin + Caffeine = Excedrin
Usually marketed as “Migraine Relief” as a generic.
Asprin = Bayer
Use for pain, fever, arthritis, and inflammation. Makes you bleed easily so should not be used for periods. Might reduce risk of heart attacks.\
Triple Antibiotic Ointment = Neosporin
Used on cuts, sores, and scrapes to reduce risk of infection and promote healing.
Also a general mutli-vitamin isn’t a bad idea and if you don’t get a lot of fruits or milk/sunshine in your diet you might want to get vitamins C and D specifically for daily use.
if you do accidentally lapse and put dawn in your dishwasher, run it empty and put hair conditioner where the detergent goes. that’ll clean it out (tip given to me by dorm custodian when roommate did the thing).
if you live off ramen, add stuff to it! add veggies you like, don’t use the whole flavor packet to cut down on sodium and msg or don’t use it at all and add your own spices.
if you’re making something with potatoes in it (beans, stew) potatoes are done when you can easily stab a fork through them.
you can microwave a hotdog as long as you put it in a microwave safe container of water. microwaves work by making water molecules vibrate. also, when reheating rice leftovers, add a small amount of water, like maybe a spoonfull, so it doesn’t get hard and crunchy.
the rice cooking advice above is for long grain rice. if you’re making short or medium grain rice, a 1:1 ratio (one cup water for one cup rice) is better, so the rice doesn’t come out too mushy.
buy a few cans of chicken. wholesale club stores like sam’s, costco, or bj’s tend to carry multipacks for a good price. they’re incredibly useful for when you forget to defrost meat.
buy meat on sale and put it in the freezer. buy vegetables on sale, and put them in the freezer. frozen veggies are often as flavorful and good as fresh ones, keep longer, and often come in microwaveable bags or with microwave directions.
soak ink stains in milk to help get them out or at least lighten them.
soak blood stains in water as soon as possible, with a bit of detergent or stain remover. scrub at them. use cold water, heat binds proteins to fabric. tbh, there’s no real need to change the washer from cold-cold setting unless the thing you’re washing says to wash in warm water.
acetone, found in most nail polish removers, dissolves super glue.
YOU’RE ALL DOING GOD’S WORK BLESS YOU
Takes pictures, have prints made and put them in photo albums. Be IN the pictures, have someone take pictures of you and your friends. Get over not looking perfect in thw picture. Someday that friend might be gone and those pictures might be all you’ll have, you will want to be in them. I made that mistake with my best friend, i always felt weird asking for a picture together… he died of cancer January of 2014 and now i have no pictures of us together. Its my only regret in life.
This is really helpful, thank you all!
I’m the newest of new adults but I’m gonna throw these little tips in there. IF YOU HAVE AN OLD CAR:
-coolant or water if your car overheats (coolant is preferable cause it won’t hurt the engine in the long run but hey i know money is tight)
-flashlight in case you break down at night and need to check under the hood and your phone is dead
-SPARE TIRE.
-jumper cables.you will at some point leave your lights on. you just will.
AAA or any other road side service is never a bad investment i swear. (try to mooch it off your parents as long as you can though)
Know how to change a tire. You’re going to need to do it at some point in time and you can’t always rely on someone else to do it for you.
Don’t be afraid to go to your local food bank. They are there for a reason.
Don’t be ashamed to ask for help period. Life is hard, everyone needs help occasionally.
You can put a LOWER wattage bulb in a lamp that says it’s for a higher one, but don’t put a HIGHER wattage bulb in. Also, watts refer to the amount of electricity used. LUMENS refers to the amount of light put out, and can vary quite a bit between brands, even though the wattage is the same. Look for the one with the highest lumens unless you actually want a slightly dimmer bulb in a certain location. Those dollar store batteries? Fine if they’re alkaline. “Heavy-duty” batteries, however, won’t last nearly as long. You can microwave a hot dog and bun simply by wrapping them in a toweling for a minute, less if you don’t want them scalding hot.
Reblogging to save lives.
Two adulting (kitchen-related) tips from me!
1. Buy a roll of parchment paper from the cooking shit aisle. A big roll will last you for-fucking-ever. Pretty much any time you’re using a baking pan you can line it with that stuff and save yourself A: food sticking to the pan and B: it’s a quick rinse and it’s clean.
2. Bread can get fucking expensive, so make your own. A bigass bag of flour and a bag of active dry yeast (store it in the friiiiidge!!!) works out a FUCK of a lot cheaper than buying bread at the store, and you can do so much more with it. Bread, pizza, rolls, cinnibuns, homemade pizza pockets. It seems intimidating but it’s stupid easy.
Seriously. It’s stupid simple to make, and most of the “3 hours” to make it is sitting around surfing the internet or doing whatever the fuck you want while the dough rises. If you have an afternoon free once a week to sit and play video games or surf the net, you have the time to make your own bread on the cheap. Here’s my simple-as-fuck recipe:
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (You can buy a bag of this stuff CHEAP in bulk stores, the little packets are hella stupid priced) 1 cup warm water (think a hot bath) 1 ½ teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons oil (any kind works for the most part) 2 ¼ cups flour 1 teaspoon salt
1. Stir the yeast, water, sugar, and oil up in a bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will foam up VERY high, this is the yeast getting happy! If it doesn’t get all foamy, the water may have been too hot or not hot enough. Remember, Yeast is alive! Treat it like a nice girlfriend!
2. Mix your flour, salt, and the yeast concoction up in a bowl.
3. Knead that shit for about 5 minutes. It will start sticky as heck, but will come together into a nice dough. If it’s still super sticky, toss in a bit more flour. Here’s how to knead it:
4. Put your dough in a covered, lightly oiled bowl and leave it someplace warmish for an hour. At that point it will have roughly doubled in size, give it a gentle punch to release the gasses that have built up inside. Cover it again and let it sit for a bit longer.
Boom. You have bread dough. Here are some baking times and uses for ya:
Optional egg-wash: Just crack an egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and mix the bejeebus out of it with a fork. Brush (or if you’re like me, goop it on with said fork) that shit thinly on bread before baking for a nice crust.
Pizza: Stretch it on a pan, stab the fucker all over with a fork, add toppings, bake 425*F 15-20 minutes.
Bread Sticks: Make snake-shapes, let rest on pan 10-ish minutes, bake 400*F 10-20 minutes.
Dinner rolls: Make ball-sized (yes those balls) balls. Place on greased pan, let rest 10-20 minutes to rise. Egg-wash and bake 375*F 25 minutes.
Bread: Lightly score (cut) the top, let sit for 20-ish minutes on/in whatever you’re using to bake it, egg-wash, bake at 375*F for 20-ish minutes. It’s done when it sounds hollow if you knock on the bottom.
You bet your ass you can deep-fry this shit for cheapie yeast doughnuts. Roll that shit in sugar or dip it in whatever, it’s fucking tasty.
Bagels: YES. YOU. CAN. Form bagel-shapes out of the dough and boil them in salty water for about 2 minutes. Egg-wash them and bake them at 400*F for 10 minutes.
Cinnamon Rolls: Roll that shit out into a rectangle. Brush it with a mix of butter, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt (no exact amounts here, do it to your taste). Roll it up into a log, and cut it into discs. Let them sit 20 minutes in a pan and then bake at 375*F 15-17 minutes.
You can add whatever you want to the dough for some variety, just if it’s dried spices remember you really only need 1-ish tablespoons. I personally like making bread with about 1 tablespoon of dill in the dough. Roll it out flat, sprinkle it with cheddar, roll it into a log, squeeze the ends shut, and bake it like a regular loaf of bread. Cheesy dill bread OMNOMNOM.
*ahem* That got a bit long. But yeah. Bread’s expensive, yo. Save your wallet.
(Also it’s ridiculous amounts of therapeutic to bake, for me anyway)
Being able to bake your own bread is pretty awesome, if you got the time for it.
this post is already obnoxiously long, but it’s full of good thing and as An Adult, I have a few small points to contribute:
it’s more important to eat, than what you eat. don’t stress out about organic, fair trade and healthy if you’re struggling to afford even just basic foodstuffs or just simply hate cooking. buy frozen pies, chips/fries, frozen readymeals, freeze-dried soup (costs next to nothing and is really nice with some warm bread), frozen baguettes (they look awful but are delicious when warmed up with butter) – anything that’s cheap and will fill you up is good enough, and just having a warm meal in your belly will make everything else feel easier.
defrost your freezer once a year, it will help it last longer - if you live somewhere cold, do it in the winter and you can put the frozen stuff outside while you defrost to avoid waste.
it’s okay to throw things away. don’t hold on to chipped plates and glasses out of habit. don’t wear shoes worn through if you can help it. throw them out and get new ones.
potatoes are cheap and good in pretty much any form. sliced, diced, mashed, boiled, fried, baked – pair it with an onion and some cheap minced beef/hamburger meat and you’ve got yourself a combo that can be varied almost infinitely.
if you can’t afford to buy a car - consider renting a cheap car every now and then and go on a road trip. even if it’s just to the next town over to buy food, it’s an adventure most people who have jobs can afford.
also? treat yo self. I know that’s from a tv-show and it seems silly and frivolous - but it’s very important. find ways to treat yourself and then do it. not all the time, but sometimes.
@amberlyinviolet there’s stuff about bread making!
Another add-on from me. I’ve been adulting for 24 years: Peroxide. Use this for blood. Even when it has had the chance to dry. It won’t work as well if you rinse the blood first. Pinto beans are a cheap protein. You can get a good-sized bag for about two bucks in the ethnic food aisle. Soak them overnight, or do a “quick soak” by boiling them for a half an hour and letting them sit for another hour. Rinse them, cover them with fresh water, cover and boil for about two to three hours. Keep adding water to keep them from drying out. They are done when the broth is thick and they no longer taste gritty. A pot of beans will give you two to three nights of dinner. Don’t store tomatoes or peppers in plastic bags. They sweat and spoil in the fridge after about three days. Store your brown sugar in the freezer to keep it soft. If you are anemic, cooking with a cast iron skillet will increase your iron levels. For medical stuff: If you have to go to the ER and have no insurance, you can ask the billing office for a payment plan. If your medical bills for the year are greater than 7 percent of your income, you can claim them on your taxes as a deduction. That isn’t much comfort, but it’s worth noting. I used to work in a billing office. If you are insured through your parents, keep a copy of your card. Once you reach 18, you are considered the guarantor for your bill. If you don’t have your card when you go to the ER, call it in to the billing office or take them a copy after your discharge. Do it within the first month of the date of service. If you can’t afford your bill, you may be able to apply for a community grant through your hospital. Clothing: You can un-shrink a sweater by rinsing it in cold water and hanging it to dry.
My big sis above is amazeballs and brillant. She gives the best advice.
I just want to advise some quick things i learned myself.
FRENCH BREAD/ITALIAN BREAD- my preference is the French bread. It makes the best everything: sandwhiches, pizzas, crustinis, croutons, SANDWICHES, PIZZAS and its cheaper than buying reg fancy bread or ordering pizzas
KNIVES: please invest in a great super sharp or self sharpening set. You can hurt yourself with a dull knife and it will save you money if you can cut up your own food
FEBREEZE: get some. If you don’t have laundry access inside, dont feel like doing it, too depressed, too tired, too busy, nobody saw you where it…blah blah, you wont regret the investment. Relax everybody does it
Ginger, green tea, a tea kettle, chicken soup, iodinized salt, pepper black and red, garlic, drinkable water, fill those ice trays up regularly, furniture with two uses or have storage, more attractive storage, a place for shoes…all things you will need HARD while adulting.
If you don’t have time to knead the bread as outlined above and/or don’t find it therapeutic the way that commenter does? Bread machines are apparently passé, and I don’t remember the last time I didn’t see at least one any time I looked at the kitchen section at the thrift store. They’re usually about $6. It probably won’t come with the manual, but that’s what Google is for. Put all the ingredients in the pan, hit the appropriate buttons (varies slightly by model of machine), and in 3 hours you will have bread. Just make sure the yeast and water are both room temperature. Cold or expired yeast will result in very dense and bizarrely shaped bread, though most of it will still taste pretty good.
And seriously, THRIFT STORES. Not just for clothes. Furniture, kitchen stuff, picture frames, housewares, toys, bicycles, yarn, random office supplies… If you need it and it’s not perishable or edible, you can probably find it. You might even find it brand-new. Many retail stores have taken to donating merchandise that doesn’t sell on clearance. Cheaper than warehousing it, better PR than dumpstering it. If you need something particular or unusual, the tradeoff is time spent hunting, but for some of us that’s a feature rather than a bug. ;-)
Another few tips:
Baking soda is an effective fire extinguisher. Grease fire? Dump the box on that shit. NEVER pour water on or chuck ice cubes at a grease fire because IT WILL SPREAD. Ice in fire literally explodes.
If you live alone, you might shave a few bucks off your utility bill by being a tad sloppy. Use the light of one room to illuminate as much as possible. Don’t flush the toilet until morning. Pour the water from your spaghetti and shower–putting a bucket under the steam until it gets hot collects perfectly drinkable water– onto any plants you have. Freeload Wi-Fi and power from libraries and fast food places. A box of Borax can make your detergent stretch a bit further.
A crockpot is great. Anything you can make on the stove you can make in a crockpot, and without as much worry. Toss some ingredients in before bed or before you leave for work and you’ll have a ready meal when you get up/home.
Great for oatmeal, soups, stews, chili, beans…
Just gonna reblog this so I can find it when I need it!
At first I was impressed then I decided that this person was the worst kind of person
“That’s a pretty nifty style you’ve got there! I can tell you’ve been practicing it quite a bit, considering the imprints in the paper, but that just goes to show that-wait…oh, you son of a bitch.”
You beautiful bastard
@petalstofish
I just accidentally invented a new idiom, maybe?
“Licking a tree & hoping for maple syrup.”
aka “A attempt at resolving/achieving something with less effort than is required for success, & a high probability of it proving merely futile & faintly unpleasant’
I can support this as a turn of phrase.
are you canadian
reblog this post with a cool animal species lets make a wholesome thread
ok ill give a headstart:
i really like leopard seals
axolotls are p rad
I LOVE THOSE
potoos look like muppets and i ove tem
here’s a quokka it’s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon
i don’t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. they’re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. they’re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them.
The Springhaas, or “irl pikachu” as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.
This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africa–seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs.
Long Eared Jerboa
The adorable mash-up of a hamster, bunny, and kangaroo. Whiskers with no end, ears that put a fennec to shame, and adorability beyond measure!
bringing this back on your dashes
a sichuan takin bull and his daughter
often the color of donald trump’s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.
This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~
Chambered nautilus! A living fossil! I also love axolotl though.

MANATEES

Best of all, as of this year they are no longer endangered!!

Pangolins. They’re cute and they look like they wanna ask you something but they’re too nervous.
Victoria Crowned Pigeons! They are one of 3 crowned pigeon species native to New Guinea, and they mostly eat fruit and seeds. They’re surprisingly large, and sound just exactly like when you blow across the top of a bottle.
They have magnificent crests and perfect eyeliner!
Hedgehogs are silly!

Aye-ayes are perpetually disturbed beings, and I feel like I am one about 76% of the time.
If you had to date Sirius, James or Ron, who would you pick? Why?
I would Date Ron, marry James, & bake cookies for Sirius
AKA the vegan cupcake equivalent of fuck/marry/kill
