found this in one of the news articles

I can’t decide whether seven bushmaster bites means you should stay away from bushmasters or declare yourself bushmaster king

Out of curiosity, I looked this up to verify the details. The name of the establishment was the Cape Fear Serpentarium and this tale is everything promised.

So the owner’s name was Dean Ripa, and he died in May 2017. His wife, Regina Ripa, was found to be unable to distinguish right from wrong at the time of the murder, was ruled not guilty by reason of insanity, and was committed to a psychiatric care facility instead of being convicted. In real life, this is an extremely rare ruling, and from what I read, she had a history of instability where she suffered from delusions and paranoia. When law enforcement had come out to the residence earlier that day because of a call she made, Dean, her husband, did in fact tell the officers she was genuinely unwell and needed to take her medication.

Their child was, at the time, three, and was unharmed in the incident. As the child was the rightful owner of Dean Ripa’s estate, the Serpentarium was unable to remain open legally. Being a child, they were unable to legally hold the necessary permits for the snakes their father had on the premises. A family friend had attempted to keep it going, but it looks like it was legally too complicated.

There was an article written about the site and Dean Ripa himself in the Oxford American that was posted posthumously. It provides a lot of detail and background on Dean Ripa, who was, to put it mildly, an intense man.

There are pictures on Trip Advisor of the exhibits.

STUGGON!!!!!!!

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

My friend, are you in for a treat! The lake sturgeon, which is the sturgeon found in the Great Lakes, can grow to be two meters long and weigh 90 kilograms! It is the biggest fish found in the Great Lakes!!

But, see, the lake sturgeon isn’t the biggest sturgeon species. That would be the beluga sturgeon, which regularly grew to be four to six meters long before overfishing took a toll on their populations. Belugas are a lot younger on average nowadays — these fish can live to be over 100 years old — and seldom exceed three meters, but I mean, even that isn’t anything to scoff at. The very biggest beluga sturgeon ever caught was a jawdropping 7.2 meters long, and weighed 1 571 kilograms!! Other beluga sturgeons of such sizes have been caught too, and some unverified sources say that there has even been belugas that exceed 10 meters! They are the biggest freshwater fish in the world, and are up there among the biggest bony fishes in the world. That’s so big, it’s hard to even grasp or imagine. Seeing pictures of sturgeons puts it in a better perspective, I think. Here is a 800 kilogram sturgeon, a bit more than half of what the biggest sturgeon weighed:

Like, look at that. You see this?? That’s so fucking insane!!! Sturgeons never cease to amaze me with how… impossible they seem. These fish are like aquatic dragons or prehistoric beasts from days long gone, and in a way they are the latter! Sturgeons have been around as a group for over 160 million years, so they did indeed live in the age of the dinosaurs. Whenever I see pictures like this I can only wonder what the humans who first saw big sturgeons must’ve thought. I know what sturgeons are but I still have trouble grasping their gargantuan sizes, imagine seeing the dark form of a giant in the water and not having the faintest idea of what it is, or even that it's entirely harmless to humans.

Other sturgeon species are also very really big! The lesser-known kaluga isn’t that far behind at a maximum length of 5.6 meters and maximum weight of about a ton. Several white sturgeon that have exceeded three meters and even just shy of four meters and weighed over 400 kilograms have been caught, and the biggest, but unverified white sturgeon even caught was around six meters long and weighed 900 kilograms. The critically endangered Chinese sturgeon maxes out around five meters and 600 kilograms. All this to say, these old fishes are massive!!!

I get really rambly about fish, sturgeons especially ^^’ I just…. look!!! Look at them!! Isn’t that the most gorgeous beast you’ve ever seen? Don’t you wonder what life they have lived, what they’ve seen, heard, felt? If sturgeons could talk… they’re wonderful animals, and. Ahhh!!! Everyone needs to know about sturgeons!!!

[f0xseven]

this is hilarious but also many people are saying "with what mouth" in response to this and i am delighted to inform you all that his eye IS his mouth

but also he forms a mouth underneath it sometimes

And he also has a...... mouth thats. Lower than that

[f0xseven]

you know what? ok ill actually put my two cents in here

okay, so the general public when they think of bill cipher is gonna consider him male or like, male adjacent. the results of this blog as evidenced by past polls appear to be that if its a man that isnt annoying that exhibits love for a woman (dracula tepes, milo thatch) then people are gonna say yes and if its any other man its probably gonna be no.

so the question is more "is this character annoying enough for you to say no" in which case, yeah, bill cipher does not meet this standard of like, human framed, "would this person know How to eat pussy and would they be an actual decent enough lover to Want to" BUT I DONT THINK THIS METRIC THAT IS BEING APPLIED FOR HUMANS APPLIES AT ALL HERE. does bill give off Guy Who Eats Pussy vibes? hell fucking no. but he IS a weird little alien that all but textually is suggested to Be Into Sex in Some Capacity (for the bit, mostly, i think) and would not have this odd human metric of eating pussy being like… a green flag. like why wouldnt he eat pussy. i would argue, as we KNOW he has a tongue, him eating pussy is infinitely more plausible than any other brand of bill cipher sucking and fucking, aside from the obvious like. monsterfuckery not translateable to human sex stuff

is he GOOD at it? is it PERFECTLY ANALOGOUS TO HOW A HUMAN EATS PUSSY? almost certainly not. BUT THATS NOT THE QUESTION NOW IS IT, ITS WOULD HE.

[kerink]

throwing in my two cents:

bill cipher is a little hedonist and we know he has at least some interest in sex. why wouldn't he eat pussy? is the implication that oral sex is considered a giving act, and the idea is bill doesn't give? because A) oral sex can be as satisfying for the giver as much as it is for the receiver and B) bill is known to bestow gifts on/act generously towards those in his favor or who he's trying to manipulate.

the fact that A) there's a debate and B) humans have hang ups/taboos around eating pussy signal to me that bill would do it if for no other reason than because he does whatever he can to go against the grain/societal norms.

eating pussy is often regarded as "gross" within the general male-identifying zeitgeist. bill works hard to present as male (his clothing, his chosen pronouns, his chosen names, the bodies he chooses to possess), and bill loves things that are considered "gross." i think he'd do it to see what the fuss is about!

so my question is, why would a hedonist that likes to do things others consider strange or disgusting not eat pussy? the only argument i can see being made against it is that he isn't a sexual being, except that we know he is to some capacity. whether he's doing it for himself (e.g., he derives some form of gratification from it) or he's doing it as an act of defiance against social norms or he's doing it as a reward/manipulation i think there's far stronger evidence he would than wouldn't.

also, given how many fanfics feature bill performing fellatio, i wonder why that's considered more acceptable than him eating pussy (i know why). also, how quickly we forget all the cipherwives who loved him very much.

[the-barefoot-hatter]

exactly, Silas Birchtree was a corpse. You think Bill's figuring out how to get it up when he already has perfect mouth control?
