I wonder who they’re gossiping about.😂🤭
whatever. go my little krusies.
I can’t stop thinking about crocodiles for some reason so here’s some cool pictures I found of probably the second largest one in captivity, his name is Utan:
isn’t he beautiful
listen to the SOUND when he bites
and that’s not even a real power bite, that’s mostly just heavy bone falling on heavy bone from his jaws and the air rushing out from between them
2000 pounds of Good Boy
you get me
I honestly expected like 5 notes, what HAPPENED here

Wait, thats the 2nd biggest crocodile? Then what does the biggest one look like?
That would be Cassius, a very old Saltwater crocodile who is estimated to be around 114 years old and lives at Marineland Melanesia in Green Island, Australia. His official measurement is 5.48 meters, which makes him the largest in captivity currently. Because Utan is only slightly smaller and much younger, (only in his 50s), he will likely break Cassius’ record eventually. But for now, Cassius holds the title:
He is NOT, however, either the largest crocodile ever captured in Australia OR the largest ever in captivity.
A slightly larger crocodile has been reported (though not yet comfirmed) to have been captured at 5.58 meters.
And while the famous Brutus of the Adelaide River was estimated to be just slightly larger than Cassius at 5.5m, he was driven out of his territory by a younger and even larger crocodile, who as a result has been given the name, The Dominator. He is estimated to be just over 6m.
This is Brutus, with an appropriate caption:
It is believed that he lost that arm in a fight with a Bull Shark.
The Bull Shark lost.
THIS is the crocodile who kicked him out. The Dominator:
And that’s STILL not the biggest.
The largest living crocodile ever reliably measured was Lolong, who for the 1.5 years between his capture and his death was the largest crocodile ever held in captivity, at a whopping 6.17 meters (20 feet 3 inches) and 1075 kg (2,370 lbs). He had been feeding on both humans and very large livestock in the Bunawan creek in Agusan del Sur in the Philippines. It took 100 people all night to drag him to shore during his capture.
And here’s why:
Also, to prevent credit from getting buried on a separate reblog, I have been informed that the above image of the crocodile with the cartoon eyes and halo was made by @rashkah! (And it is wonderful and I would like to thank him for its existence, because it perfectly captures my feelings about terrifying giant primordial reptiles.)
@theonewhocheeps
Holy fuck
As far as Brutus is concerned I was led to believe that he lost that arm when relatively young.
Since then Brutus developed a habit of hunting and eating Bull Sharks.
Here’s him with a prey.
And if you thought that you’ll be safe if you just stay out of Australia then think again!
Meet Gustave the Nile Croc.
This crocodile became almost legendary for both it’s size and the habit of hunting both livestock AND humans.
So how big is Gustave?
No one is sure. Since he was NEVER captured.
His estimated size is of at least 5,5m but some give him over 6m.
The terrifying parts are:
1) He is still growing having only about 60 years.
2) Adult crocodiles often perform a gesture of submission to him - something usually done by young crocodiles toward adults - Gustave is just THAT BIG.
3) His sheer size makes it difficult for him to catch agile prey Nile crocs tend to feed on - hence why he developed a habit of hunting either larger prey like Hippopotamus or creatures which are not good at spotting danger in the first place like livestock and humans.
And this is NOT ALL.
Gustave actually has a noticeable scars on his body - he was shot at east 3 times and stabbed with a spear or something similar at one occasion.
He lived to tell the tale - my question is:
What happened to that one dude who attacked Gustave with a spear?
*Crocodile Dundee voice* Mate, that’s not Gustave:
THIS is Gustave:
And he is the PERFECT CROCODILE. He is the perfect example of what I mean when I talk about (as I do) how the morphology of extremely large crocodiles adapts to the changing physics of their bite.
This is a typical adult Nile Crocodile:
And THIS is a god among his kind:
This is it, folks. The Final Form. THIS is what peak performance looks like.
Crocodiles and physics have an interesting relationship. Crocodiles have, by a CONSIDERABLE MARGIN, the strongest bite of any animal on Earth. EVER. Scaled up estimates (based on Nile and Saltwater crocodiles) give the extinct Deinosuchus an estimated bite force MORE THAN DOUBLE the recently updated Tyrannosaurus bite estimates. Living crocodiles have bite forces measured in the range of 5000 pounds per square inch, for an individual around 15-16 feet. It is estimated that modern crocodiles in the range of 18-20 feet would have bit forces around 7-8000 psi or more.
That’s a problem.
Because a crocodile’s skull is only designed to handle so much pressure. Go beyond that limit and the force of impact when those jaws snap shut could literally shatter their own skulls.
But evolution has spent hundreds of millions of years perfecting crocodiles, so PHYSICS ISN’T GOING TO STOP THEM. What ends up happening in the skulls of these extremely large crocodiles is they will increase dramatically in mass to compensate for the increased forces. A crocodile’s skull is almost exclusively solid bone, with only minimal space for nasal passages, a surprisingly advanced brain, and some slightly porous looking framework that helps the bone distribute the force over a larger area. The effect is by far the most pronounced in Nile crocodiles, which most regularly feed on larger prey and need to make use of all that power.
Compare, 26 inch skull:
vs 29 inch skull:
Both of those are Nile crocodile skulls (or rather, replicas thereof).
And just for fun, here are the skulls of completely different (and very extinct species), Deinosuchus:
and Purussaurus:
The bigger the crocodile (within a given species), the more massive the skull needs to be to compensate for that UNBELIEVABLE bit pressure. This is one way to see from a distance whether you are looking at a normal sized crocodile:
and a truly extraordinary individual:
One of the things about Gustave that’s so impressive is how healthy his teeth look. A lot of large crocodiles, in their old age, have very worn down and often missing teeth. They do replace them many times over a lifetime, but when they get very old this slows down. Gustave, at least in every picture taken of him, had teeth that were in very good condition.
Even crocodiles much smaller than Gustave’s reported size (probably similar in size to Dominator or Lolong) tend to have smaller or more worn teeth:
than the pinnacle of his kind:
Lolong! It means Gramps or Grandpa, because he’s a relic of an ancient world where crocs more massive than he was walked the earth. His body is on display somewhere right now though I forgot where.
Teethies <3
funi in my head, stupid in execution. Anyway, happy pride.
when i was at walgreens (at 3 in the morning which explains all of this) the cashier was talking to her coworker about how shed rather be a werewolf than a vampire because vampires are condemned to hell but werewolves arent and then she asked me what i thought and i said vampire because im already condemned to hell and she said in the nicest tone of voice “i dont think anybody is condemned to hell….” paused, stared at me for a few moments, and added on “…not even gay people”
Happy pride month to the filthiest most brutal read I’ve ever been given in my life

my very deep dmc4 thoughts
I'm always thinking about localized Xie Lian. He's a day laborer squatting in a condemned building. He's a brick shithouse who's missed several meals. He's visibly recovering from recent injuries. He has the most beautiful face you've ever seen. He dresses exclusively in shitty old stained clothes the color of death, an ankle monitor and an old hat a farmworker gave him when he was dying in the street. I wouldn't say he's a Christian, but I bet he wryly appreciates the story of the Crucifixion. (Not the icon of muscular Christianity, but the Jesus who got the cops called on him for sleeping on a park bench.) What if Hua Cheng found his god one day, waiting outside the Home Depot for a day's work so he could eat.

#Reblogging again because this is a banger post for me#like it’s everything#I love your descriptions but also all the details in the art too#All. the tattoos the muscles the tanned skin the clothes he probably just found somewhere#the light reflecting on him cause yeah it’s Xie Lian but also the people in the light looking down (?) on him cause to them he’s embarrassi#But it doesn’t matter from the expression I think he has because to him it’s not embarrassing at all#Also Hua Cheng like I only see his hand giving (or receiving idk) the drink#but just the detail of him having a ring (two on one) on each finger#Just biting this art and shaking it like a chew toy#tian guan ci fu#Also OP is that a gap in his mouth? Did Xie Lian lose a tooth?
@glitter50000 you are my favorite person now! Yes XL lost a tooth here, I see him as just constantly being in the process of recovering from injuries. The idea for this was based on someone (sorry I can't remember who) who wrote about Xie Lian the god who wears only mourning color, who is married to a ghost, in love with death; and Hua Cheng the ghost who prays to never rest in peace, who wears the color of marriage and celebration, who has an infinite appetite for life. I started thinking about how in my culture we don't see white as a death color and what XL would look like in a Napalm Death t-shirt. The figures in the light are - in my opinion - death of the auteur is a real thing and whatever you saw them as, that is what they said to you - but my intention was that they are the XianLe trio as they were, back in the day, shining and untouchable and a little bit heartbreaking in their arrogance as teenagers are. Hua Cheng, dandy that he is with all his jewelry, is giving XL water because if you encountered your beloved courting heatstroke in an asphalt parking lot one day you would hold your umbrella over him and give him water. But because HC is who he is, the water is Liquid Death brand. XL's tattoos are all flash tattoos I found - a heart with a banner that says SORRY MOM, a lotus, dice showing snake eyes, a spiderweb holding unlucky 13, barbed wire around the neck, a crucified Jesus, a sword piercing the skin. And knuckle tats that read BORN 2DIE.
PSA
avoid conforming to traditional gender norms by avoiding this common palette:
try using these palettes instead!!
Not to be mean but they’re right. None of these would ever fit together
They’re DISGUSTING, op. I’m sorry, it’s better you hear it here than have your grandma say she likes your clothes.
i actually disagree! not to bring back a certain children's hospital and say "it's literally color theory" unironically, but... it's literally color theory. both of these color palettes are virtually complimentary and look pretty nice together
youve got reds, greens, and blues:
and purples, blues, yellows, and oranges:
(you'll have to click on the images to see the full thing, i don't want to put them one after the other and make this post even longer than it already is. sorry for the low resolution im doing this on my phone)
of course there's variation in the values and saturation, but imo that's a bit of a given ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wait actually fuck this post. what the hell is going on between you two
not to re-rail a post that OP himself intentionally derailed but I wanted to try out the palettes. The first one is made with the Girl Colors with no changes made to the values/saturation.
i think its ok.
The second one I tweaked the saturation and values a to my liking. Both are very low effort but as you can see I kinda got into the second one. Anyway I really like orange/purple/yellow as a color scheme so I had fun with this
hey op i hope u dont mind but i made some boys and girls in these colors ^v^
wait omg it would be so cool if there was a different character for each color and they were all in one friend group together, i would LOVE to read a story about that
omg someone should make a Kickstarter for this!!!!!
it's interesting that there are twelve of them! you could like, based them all off of the zodiac. you know, tiger, rat, rabbit, dragon, etc
HUH
This post took so .any left turns we got back on track and turned left again anyways Homestuck on the dash again good morning everybody
Terrible post everyone, hit the showers
There's everything in that post. Colours I can't see because I'm colour-blind. Homestuck jokes. Casual transphobia. A children's hospital. That's history
This post is like trying to do an olympic sprint through a fucking minefield
it's not even a year old yet??
what about not gendering fucking colours
IT'S SATIRE
I'M THE OP
you're gonna pray like hell
but you wont hear an answer
