Fun Fact: In Pokestar Studios, one of the directors is named David Pokench

Fun Fact: This is generally agreed to be a direct reference to IRL director David Lynch

Fun Fact: This would directly imply that a version of the movie Eraserhead exists in the Pokemon universe.

I took my second ADHD pill a little too late I guess because it was suddenly 4 am and I made this thing about why parasitic organisms are shaped like ways and how to consider that for your fiction settings. Raw text version below the cut for people with busted seeing:

Oh this really blew up. Here are some real world ectoparasites I’d like to share:

Here are Argulus fish lice, a large family found in both fresh and saltwater. They’re transparent, scale-shaped and almost invisible - even a friendly cleaner fish might miss a few! The black dots are their eyes and the large circles behind those are a pair of powerful suction cups! Their little legs can scoot them around the host surface without ever having to break their suction.

This is a species of “sucking” louse, a group that almost exclusively infests mammals, and it has a very long snout that most other lice don’t need, so if you only found the parasite, you could already deduce the existence of a very large or tough-skinned mammal in the area! Specifically, this type of louse affects only elephants and warthogs :)

This completely different louse on the other hand has an extremely compact, sturdy body with stumpy, exceptionally powerful gripping claws, so that tells you it lives on something that would easily shake off other lice: it lives on elephant seals that can dive thousands of feet deep. Even its antennae are stubby, so they don’t break off in a powerful current.

And here’s a typical looking flea (this one is from a hedgehog!) with all its spines and bristles, all pointing backwards, which allow it to “swim” at high speed through host fur, BUT WAIT!!!

This flea has mites! A parasite’s parasites are known as “hyperparasites,” though some mites simply use other insects as transportation, so I’m not sure if these mites are feeding on the flea, or just also happen to feed on its host. Fleas groom themselves with their bristly legs like any other insect, but there’s no way that can dislodge these smooth, flat mites, evolved to nestle perfectly under the flea’s scales.

Bringin this back another year later cause people aren’t apprecitating parasites enough

i am here to tell you that it is okay for there to be good things in your life right now. to celebrate the little, local, personal wins. it is okay for today to be a good day for you, even when there is so much bad in the world. actually, if you’ll permit me to tell you a secret: it is absolutely imperative when the world at large is this bad that you enjoy the moments that are good. sing because you are in love, for the first time or for the first time in a long time. celebrate a good grade, good work feedback, a successful dessert finally achieved. sleep in a bit of sun and enjoy feeling safe and warm and comfortable. it doesn’t mean you don’t care. it doesn’t make you callous or cold. you know bad things are happening but you also need, desperately, to know that not all things are bad. find it when you can, and enjoy it without guilt, and if you need permission then here it is, freely given

“he’s evil” no he’s not. he’s just my lil man. ok, maybe a little, but he’s still just my funky lil man. “he’s killed people” okay, and?? he’s just quirky that’s all. but he’s also got great style, and i think he’d give really good hugs :)

[chooseselflove-againandagain]

our brains are seriously gullible. you will really believe whatever you hear yourself say over and over. please, stop, even in “good spirits” or being funny, please stop all of the self deprication. i won’t even type out examples, but whatever you say about yourself, you should know it isn’t true or helpful to keep reinforcing.

instead, look in the mirror and tell yourself positive things. “i am doing my best. i am worthy of love and support. i am a good person. i am beautiful. i am fun to be around.” whatever you need to hear. OUT LOUD. every day. you will start to believe it, just like you have started to believe all the mean things you tell yourself. you can’t always choose what others say about you, but you can definitely choose what you say and who you spend time listening to.
