Nope! Sperm whales eat extremely large deep-sea squids, like the Giant and Colossal Squids. They have also been known to opportunistically eat dead whales, sharks, and seals, but not actively hunt them. They got real big teeth for it too:
However, they only have teeth on thier bottom jaw! they have corresponding holes in their top jaw for the teeth to lock into, which makes hanging onto a slippery, boneless squid:
It should be noted that the human here isn’t in particular danger of being eaten on purpose, but an accidental swing of it’s multi-ton head, a clip from the teeth, or being directly in the line of it’s sonar could seriously injure or kill them- Divers that have been in the direct line of echolocation for a sperm whale calf have described being hit with the soundwave like “being kicked by a horse” and some have suffered internal organ damage. Sperm whales, like other large whales, aren’t particularly aggressive towards humans, but they are still very large wild animals who behave in unpredictable ways.
I know that in US waters, it’s illegal to intentionally come within 300 yards of any whale or dolphin, and if one appears closer you should turn off your engine or stop paddling to avoid accidental injury to you or it. This human is doing something dangerous and ill-advised, but it’s still hopeful that we can love something like a 130,000 lb deep-diving, squid-eating Oceanic former ungulate.
I NEEED BLUE TO BE MY WINGMAN. Thinking along the lines of the shy artist reader! I think alot of us can relate, but this could be a seperate request/idea on its own. Oh i'd love to hear the kind of shenanigans reader and blue (or perhaps the other flowers..) would get up to trying to hype us up! Not to mention blue probably already figured it out beforehand. Just sprinkling my thoughts about, do with it what you will! :3
Hello there!! I loved this request SO much that I took a bit longer to write it than I usually do...it's not suuuper long, but it's still 2k+ words and I got both my friend and my boyfriend to beta read it !! (Thank you guys :3) Hope you enjoy!!
Premise is - Blue organizes a dance lesson for you, Flowery and the other flowers...with quite sweet ulterior motives.

Flowery x Reader - Project Stage: Dance! (Fic)
"A dance lesson."
"Correct."
"And everyone is getting this invite…?" You squint up at Yellow, who smiles a tad nervously.
"Yup, that's what Blue said. He also said y'all ain't forced to join in, ya know-"
"Nah, I'll be there!" You interrupt him, "I mean, if everyone is going…because they are, right?"
Yellow tilts his head at you curiously; something tells you he's getting suspicious, but you've already asked too much, so you suppose it's your fault.
"…Uh, Aqua 'n Orange never miss out on these sorta things. Them youngsters, they like to have their fun…Green 'n Pink are gonna be there I think, hopefully I'll be partnerin' up with Blue, Flowery shouldn't be busy with anythin' on dat night?" he rubs his chin in deep thought, though you've already kind of gotten the answer you were looking for.
The possibility of dancing alongside Flowery…the mere thought makes you a little dizzy. Can you dance at all? Not really, which…could be an issue for a number of reasons. You could embarrass yourself by simply being there, for starters, but can you pass up the opportunity to be close to him…? Do something together?
You don't really think so.
You're so caught up in your daydreaming that you completely miss the hand waving in front of your eyes, and the concerned expression that has fallen upon Yellow's face;
"…Y'there?"
"Yes! I was just. Thinking. About my plans…? But I should be fine, yeah, I'll be there!"
"Good! 'Cause Blue particularly hoped you would show up, don't tell him I told ya…aaah, maybe I shouldn't have?! Darn it, jes' forget what I said!"
A reassuring promise that you won't be mentioning this to Blue later, you and Yellow part ways, and you're left alone with your thoughts once again; thoughts of how it could go, of how you're going to occupy the time until the lesson rolls around…of if Flowery's even going to be there at all…
You eventually go back to the activity you were partaking in before Yellow interrupted your alone-time, a dreamy look on your face.
·•—–٠✤٠—–•·
A breathtaking sunset illuminates the stage Blue has carefully set up for your oncoming dance lesson. The pristine wooden floor glows in the orange light, so spotless it partially reflects your figure.
Aqua messes with the props, while Orange tries to follow along and prevent her from breaking something or hurting herself; Pink seems to still be getting ready, staring at her outfit choices through a large mirror that's been placed behind Blue, who's chatting it up with the ever-flustered Yellow; Green ties their hair back, and offers one of their hairties to Seth, who hesitates before accepting it. And Flowery…
…is nowhere to be seen.
You succumb to the disappointment, rummaging through your bag and absently checking if you've brought everything you might need still.
When you've made sure of that, you lift your gaze, sighing softly - might as well have some fun with everyone el-
"Oh, dear. What has you sighing like so?"
You startle a little, your shoulders tensing up at Blue's sudden appearance besides you. He gives you an apologetic chuckle, crouching down next to you in one graceful motion.
"Blue! Weren't you talking to Yellow just a second ago?"
"Mr. Butterfly might've sensed your distress…" A playful smirk graces his features, and you roll your eyes humorously;
"…It's nothing important, really. I'm looking forward to the lesson, it's nothing directly about that, if you're worried," You try to be vague in your hint-dropping, though you're pretty sure Blue could pick up on anything, somehow.
You follow his gaze, which is now fixed on the entrance of the stage.
"Fret not, and just leave everything in the hands of love,"
"…What does that mean-"
"Hey, guys!"
Flowery's cheerful greeting prompts the flower beside you to get back up, smiling down at you one last time before going back to his original spot facing everyone else on the stage.
You feel your heart jump upon hearing his voice so suddenly, but manage to gather your things and stand up rather nonchalantly regardless, with the intention to finally place everything aside. Flowery, who's already sporting his lesson-appropriate attire - looser pants than usual and a simple top tucked into them - waves hello to Pink as she briefly leaves the stage to change into her chosen outfit, then walks into your general direction with your same idea.
"And good evening to you," he addresses you, placing his belongings down. You throw your things beside his…with very little care.
"Hi…! Why so late? We've been here for a while,"
One of his voice lines - 'Sorry to keep you waiting!' - plays as he wears an apologetic expression;
"My gardening was taking a while, and I had to shower afterwards…Blue cared a lot about me showing up though, and who am I to disappoint him?"
He says something else related to the essential oils he used earlier. You don't really catch it unfortunately, because you're too busy thinking about the implications of that. Yellow's slip-up from when he told you about Blue's dance lesson…'Cause Blue particularly hoped you would show up', he said…
…You snap yourself out of your own thoughts this time though, wanting to avoid looking disinterested at all costs.
"…and I used the tangerine one this time! I'm running out though, ah…" he declares, pensive. You smell the air a little - there's definitely a pleasant tangy fragrance emanating from him, but you can't exactly mention that without sounding weird.
Thankfully Blue saves the day by announcing that everything is ready and the lesson will begin now that everyone is present - he instructs you and the flowers to get into position in two lines, each of you fairly distant from the other. The stars align once more for you today, and you end up right next to Flowery.
"Alright, dears - we're going to start this off with some easy stretching! Get your bodies warmed up for a couple moves later…"
Blue has you stretching your neck and arms first, carefully explaining how to perform the movements right and walking by each of you to make sure you're doing it properly. It's silly, but you feel kind of exposed while doing this - even though you're basically doing the same thing as everyone else… you're able to steal quick glances at Flowery from time to time though, which motivates you at least!
After a couple different kinds of stretches on the ground, you're all ready to actually dance; Blue congratulates everyone for doing good on the stretches, then asks you to team up as he says.
Orange and Aqua are the first duo he puts together, for obvious reasons: they're both small, both young and energetic. Green and Seth are the second duo; the latter is still a bit skeptical about this dancing thing, but they agree to do it with Green, as non-judgemental as they are. Yellow and Pink get paired together next, and the cowboy gets nervous, only being used to dancing alongside Blue. So naturally, the last pair is…
You glance at Blue with a look that encapsulates many emotions as he gently nudges you and Flowery closer to each other, a quite amused grin on his face;
"Now, each pairing is free to pick which moves they'll be learning today! I thought to give you a choice, isn't that lovely? May these choices represent your hopes…"
"Our hopes, huh," Flowery repeats next to you, as you're busy panicking over how you almost fully bumped against him, "Well, that's certainly a tricky concept to translate into a dance move…unless?"
He turns to you, a playful grin on his face.
"Unleeess…?" you look elsewhere for a moment, feeling your cheeks begin to flush;
"Have you ever taken lessons from Blue? Learned some moves before today?"
You don't need to ponder much on your answer; you're pretty close to Blue, but this is the first time you really even considered doing something like this.
"Not…really, no- and I can't dance at all either, if you're wondering…I'm assuming you have!"
Flowery gives you a slight shrug,
"Not full on lessons, and let's just say my stats are not maxed out for this, hah…but, I know a couple things. How about a Waltz?" he extends both his hands delightfully, which you glance down at, "Any role is fine by me, blossom."
In your flustered state, you assume the reason he's offering you both his hands is to allow you to position yourself however you please. When you step forward and accept his suggestion, his grin widens and a single flower sprouts behind his ear. Cute.
As Blue assists another pairing in the background first - you're both not really paying attention to what's happening around you - Flowery begins guiding your steps, and explaining how you need to move in the position you've taken.
"So stiff! Loosen up, it's just me!"
You resist the urge to roll your eyes, almost full-on stepping on his foot by accident; 'That's the point!' you think.
"I think you're just being an awful teacher…!" is what you say instead, and he laughs.
"Good thing Blue's nearly done with the others for now, then! Whew, and I thought I was okay at this…"
Flowery wipes a drop of sweat away from his forehead, his perfect skin glistening in the evening sun rays. You find yourself almost a little annoyed at how effortlessly pretty he manages to be.
Turns out Blue left your duo for last, so everyone else is either practicing what they've been taught by him or resting and watching you actually learn your steps in real time. Their eyes on you combined with the feeling of Flowery's hands - one holding yours and the other lightly resting on you - are a tad overwhelming, but you try to focus on what Blue tells you to do, occasionally having you dance with him instead of Flowery to show him the correct steps.
After a moment of rest, Blue decides to turn on the stage lights as it's getting dark outside; you briefly enjoy the chirping of the crickets near one of the open windows, thankful it's not as hot as other days today.
Your dance partner quickly joins you once he notices you're not among the others anymore; 'Smile again!' says his voice clip this time.
"Hey, something wrong?" he asks, leaning against the wall.
"Nah, just taking a minute. I'm having a lot of fun, though!" you decide to confess, which gets his concerned expression to shift into a relieved one.
"Good! Me too; I was worried I suggested the wrong thing and made it odd."
The revelation has one of your eyebrows quirking quizzically. You avert your gaze from what's happening on stage and focus on him instead.
"You…worried?" he doesn't look troubled by the question, but you quickly elaborate, "I mean, no? If anything it was kind of what I was hoping for…ahah…"
Flowery smirks a little at you, tilting his head.
"Kind of?…But yeah, I realized a couple things ever since Asgore hasn't been around." You get the feeling he's not delving deeper for a reason, so you don't pry, "So! I'm glad you're having a growth time, too!"
Of course, he had to say something silly about it. You hum, pondering a little;
"…Well yeah, I'm glad I took a…leaf of faith, when I decided to come here!"
Flowery's smile reaches his eyes at your pun, even though saying it out loud made you feel slightly silly. It's not long until the class is supposed to wrap up, so you both offer a hand to each other; when you notice you've accidentally synced up, Flowery giggles and readily takes yours in his, bending down and tentatively bringing it up to his lips.
Your heart feels like it's all the way up into your throat as a petit bouquet of yellow flowers blooms from the back of your hand.
"Shall we keep dancing, then?"
Walking back on stage, you both swiftly take your positions. Flowery allows you to lead when you mention feeling more comfortable doing so, and your right hand ends up supporting his back while his left rests on your shoulder.
"Remember the box we need to follow," he chimes, a patient smile on his face.
The look he gives you encourages you to begin with a soft inhale; left foot forward, right foot sideways to the right - and he follows along slowly, stepping back with his right and sideways with his left.
Your left foot next to your right, now; he matches your speed as his right foot ends up next to his left.
Step back with your right next; and when he steps forward, perhaps he gets a bit too close. You can smell that tangy note from earlier, slightly stronger.
Back and sideways on the left, forwards sideways on the right - and, once you fall back into position, you barely miss Blue staring at you through the mirror.
You repeat the steps carefully, rotating the box…missing a step occasionally, and laughing about it alongside each other.
Eventually, you get so comfortable in your movements that everything flows naturally: you don't question how empty the stage suddenly feels, or the change in music that now matches your rhythm.
"Get ready now," you declare at some point, feeling bold. You can physically feel Flowery breathe in;
"Hah, for what-"
Your hand that's holding his snakes forward and down his back, holding him closer as you lean forward and lead him to do the opposite. Despite his grip on you tightening and his expression shifting into one of surprise, he trusts you into the slightly clumsy, improvised dip, your faces ending up so close to each other's that for a split moment you can't help but look into his eyes and-
"Uuuu!! Are they about to kiss?"
"Aqua!!"
Seth's whisper-yell has both you and Flowery straightening up your backs faster than you've ever done before, his hair now a mess of disheveled golden locks and blossoming flowers. You jump back, but not before having made sure he's standing steadily.
Between Flowery's flustered blabbering as he tries to act nonchalant and the noisy bickering that's being stirred up in the background, your still-gaping eyes meet Blue's; he chuckles dearly, winking as he changes the track back to what was playing before.
