“Sorry, Carl, but... bad news.”
Carl the Animator: “Oh, great, what now?”
Ted the Animator: “It’s about your skeleton.”
Carl the Animator: “My skeleton’s amazing! What’s the problem?!”
Ted the Animator: “…it’s too good.”
Carl the Animator: “…what.”
Ted the Animator: “Hanna-Barbera just sent the rest of the script. They forgot to mention it was just a guy in a costume all along.”
Carl the Animator: “Aaaaand my super-epic skeleton is wrong for that why, exactly?”
Ted the Animator: “Well… the whole ‘not having room for a body underneath’ is prolly part of it.”
Carl the Animator: “Oh. That’s stupid.”
Ted the Animator: “There’s no time to change this earlier stuff, but things like real, exposed leg bones…”
Ted the Animator: “…don’t exactly work…”
Ted the Animator: “…for a ‘fake sheriff guy in a suit’ reveal.”
Carl the Animator: “Humph. Well, I’ll endeavor to make him look sufficiently less-cool in the future.”
*2 weeks later*
Ted the Animator: “…so, about the current skeleton design.”
Carl the Animator: “Oh no.”
Ted the Animator: “It’s just that… well, HB just informed us that the fake sheriff is gonna be a very corpulent fellow.”
Carl the Animator: “C’mon, I’ve been adding more room in the ‘suit,’ and gave a black outline!”
Ted the Animator: “Yeah, but he’s… he’s a very large guy.”
Carl the Animator: “Ugh.”
Ted the Animator: “And very ridiculous-looking.”
Carl the Animator: “I feel like my skeletal artistic vision is being stripped away.”
Ted the Animator: “Can you just try to make him a little pudgier and less-serious from now on?”
Carl the Animator: “Fiiiiiiine.”
*1 week later*
Ted the Animator: “Ok, um… as unsure as I am about that guy behind him…”
Ted the Animator: “…that’s a nice improvement. That’s a sufficiently chubby, less-real-looking skeleton.”
Carl the Animator: “Thanks, I guess.”
Ted the Animator: “…buuuut HB would like it if he could be a little–”
Carl the Animator: “Seriously?! MORE pudgy and ridiculous?!”
Ted the Animator: “Yes, unfortunately, they–”
Carl the Animator: “FINE. Here.”
*30 seconds later*
Carl the Animator: “There. Is that lame enough to work?”
Ted the Animator: “…erm… yes, actually, they love that design, and… want us to stick with it.”
Carl the Animator: *sigh*
Ted the Animator: “Y’know, somehow, I feel a little something has been lost along the way since the first depiction of the character.”
Carl the Animator: “You mean like ‘any semblance of dignity?’ Like that?”
Ted the Animator: “Well… yeah.”
Carl the Animator: “My poor, poor skeleton.”
Ted the Animator: “I’ve never felt bad for a bunch of collagen fibers and inorganic mineral, but that’s animating Scooby-Doo for ya.”

Appa, yeet yeet
me, watching a movie: come on. CLEARLY the ancient and ominous black tomb is cursed. what the fuck are you guys doing???
me, reading about a giant, mysterious, and ancient black granite sarcophagus found in Egypt and chanting: OP-EN IT! OP-EN IT! OP-EN IT!
A giant, black, sarcophagus has been found in Alexandria and I could not be more excited about it.
If we do open it we could find
The tomb of Alexander the Great (Coolest possible answer. Probably the coolest thing we’ve found in my lifetime unless aliens decide to show up.)
Rando important Egyptian Pharaoh ( Also cool answer. Definitely an awesome find.)
An ancient and unspeakable evil (We haven’t had a good ol’ doomsday level curse in a good long while. Definitely overdue for this one)
It’s a win/win/win scenario.
A few things
Egyptian Archaeologists are planning on opening it, and are saying it’s very unlikely to be Alexander the Great. However, them finding such an old sarcophagus does suggest that we still might find it within our lifetime!
I should not have put Pharaoh, as it is equally unlikely to be a king. However it’s almost certainly a high ranking member of nobility or some other highly important and rich figure from the Ptolemaic period
the combination of the popularity of this post, my username containing “lesbian”, and possible the fact that the phrase “giant black” was used means im getting a shit ton of pornbots on this post.
ancient unspeakable evil is still on the table
if you put a group of people in an escape room, you WILL find out who has big dick energy
i made a chart
a few fun octopus facts:
their arms are similar to our tongues in that their muscle fibers are oriented in three different directions
octopuses are disconcertingly strong (anecdotal evidence says that a 15 inch wide octopus was as strong as the scientist handling it)
on that note that same scientist said that when her octopuses escaped she would have to run behind them, “like cats” (paraphrased from sy montgomery’s the soul of an octopus)
aquariums have “octopus enriching programs” so they don’t get bored and fuck shit up in their tanks
they are crazy smart like. really. really fucking smart
but we can’t compare their intelligence to ours because our evolution branched from the same common ancestor so long ago we cannot comprehend how they think
it’s believed that their intelligence evolved when they lost their shell, and had to adapt to predict how countless of different prey and predators would act, how to avoid them, distract them, lure them or trick them
they visualize how other creatures are going to act, which means they have have awareness that others are individuals which is a type of consciousness but i can’t remember what it’s called right now
like, they use tools
they have distinct personalities
aquarium octopuses are socialized from a very young age and even though in the wild they are solitary creatures they become extremely friendly with enough human exposure
sometimes they dislike people for no apparent reason and will shoot water at them
they have three hearts
each of their arms has a tiny brain that controls movement and sensory input on its own i shit you not
they are color blind and yet they can camouflage their color and nobody knows how
they can change the color and texture of their skin faster than human eyes can keep up with it
great pacific octopuses are white when they are peaceful, and red when they’re excited
aquarium octopus have escaped their tanks and slithered down pipes into the ocean
escaped their tanks to eat the fish in other tanks
escaped their tanks to go fight other octopuses cuz they were bored
octopus fight club
learned how to take photographs
cost thousands of dollars by flooding new floors
they can feel, taste, and smell with their suckers and all of their skin
they enjoy tasting their food by slowly moving it through their suckers instead of shoving it in their beaks
they can rewrite their rna. no, really
the only reason why they haven’t evolved to take over as the next dominant race is because they’re doing pretty well in the ocean so there’s no need for them to adapt further
there’s a ton more but i’m so overwhelmed by love i can’ think of any at the moment i’m going to cry
read the soul of an octopus by sy mongomery no she didn’t pay me i just love octopuses so much
Also:
learned to shoot out the annoying light over the tank
hid in floor drains when caught out of their tanks by researchers
hid the shells of crabs stolen from a tank under a third, unrelated tank
Sy is a wonderful human and a great researcher. NEAq actually named a GPO after her in honor of all her work on octopuses. (Or octopi, or octopodes - they’re all correct). Definitely read that book.
-liked being splashed. Figured out that spitting water would have keepers splash back in response
- learned to spray 45°F water everywhere to demand splashes
-likes taking brushes from divers. Knows the best way to do this was to sneak up from underneath or reach over the shoulder
-will wait until keepers are looking away/distracted to grab stuff and knows exactly how far to sink down to get out of reach
-seriously octos are huge thieves. If you have something in your hand, they want it. As soon as they grab it, it belongs to them. There’s no food and they have no use for it? Doesn’t matter it’s their thing now.
-we lost a magnet scrubber for three days because one stole it from the interns. Every time she let it go and we reached a net to get it, she would snatch it out of the net and drag it back into the den. By the time we got it back she had torn apart the scrub pad
-honestly it’s like keeping an aquatic possessive 8-legged cat
All i’m getting from this is
Cats, corvids, and octopi
Land air and sea
Ne forget pas les quatres food groupes mes amis!

La pomme d’eau. La pomme de terre. Le pomme de feu. La pomme d’air. Il y a très longtemps ces quatre patates vivaient en harmonie. Mais un jour, la pomme du feu décida de passer à l'attaque.
