If there's one thing that makes me mad about the Big Bang Theory, it's that they acted like Kunal Nayyar wasn't hot. Cowards! He's the hottest out of all of them!

More context:

the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.

ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys

ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food

the starling got home safely

the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.

at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.

ospreys have eyes adapted to seeing beneath the surface of the water!

Oooo someone’s jealous. Logically I know this was supposed to be a joke but cmon. The lean in, the way he whispered it in Lex’s ear, the tone he used. Jealous as hell.

[roughentumble]

desperately need to write a smallville fic where one summer clark is kind of twisted up over how badly his family needs money, but he wont just take a donation from lex, so lex offers "what if i gave you a job? and you earned the money? then you could spend it however you want" and clark gets to get financial aid without feeling like a charity case, and lex gets to live out his fantasy of clark kent as his little secretary, and jonathan kent is none the wiser on how his son is suddenly able to contribute to the household bills(he thinks clark is working at The Talon under lana <3)(obviously this eventually gets blown, cover-wise, and it explodes in everyone's face)(its very exciting)

Clarkkkk your jealousy is not subtle babe. This is the face of a man who just realized *why* you care so much about his “girlfriend”.

Clark & Lex share a hot tub and Clark cooks Lex breakfast at the Metropolis penthouse. A reminder that this Clex-fanfic-in-novel-format is CANON. I'll be posting excerpts bc it's delicious and every once in a while I re-read to get more closely aligned with in-character Clark & Lex dialogue and interiority.

I recently rewatched the pilot episode and this line has been driving me insane. Lex doesn’t suspect much yet so he only thinks Clark is extraordinary because he was kind enough to save him. (Don’t even get me started on how in s7 when Lex is saved from drowning by Kara he refers to her as an angel and says she reminds him of Clark in the same breath).
