woman: i miss you like the deserts miss the rain

man: oh that's so sweet, i--

woman: i've adapted to existence without you, buried everything we made together, and prolonged exposure to you would be disastrous.

MY TWO MOODS

If I’ve gained anything from Tumblr it’s the ability to ship characters from shows I’ve never actually seen before.

Bugs trump Grass because that’s their environment.

Confused about why Bug-Moves are super effective against Psychic.

[irischroma]

Bug, ghost, dark are strong against psychic because they are common fears/phobias ! (Yknow because Psychic….brains and all)

[primal-blaziken]

Still don’t get why Ghost beats Ghost.

Mimosa Pudica: Touch-me-not Plant

Mimosa pudica (from Latin: pudica “shy, bashful or shrinking”; also called touch-me-not), is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, to protect them from predators, re-opening minutes later.

It is well known for its rapid plant movement. Like a number of other plant species, it undergoes changes in leaf orientation termed “sleep” or nyctinastic movement. The foliage closes during darkness and reopens in light. This was first studied by the French scientist Jean-Jacques d'Ortous de Mairan.

(not so shaky gif of Mimosa pudica closing in “realtime”)

These types of movements have been termed seismonastic movements. The movement occurs when specific regions of cells lose turgor pressure, which is the force that is applied onto the cell wall by water within the cell vacuoles and other cell contents. 

When the plant is disturbed, specific regions on the stems are stimulated to release chemicals including potassium ions which force water out of the cell vacuoles and the water diffuses out of the cells, producing a loss of cell pressure and cell collapse; this differential turgidity between different regions of cells results in the closing of the leaflets and the collapse of the leaf petiole.  -wiki
