Partial to the night sky

(This info text is 5-10 years old and a blast from the past, but I don't want to delete it because it has cultural value for me. Don't take it seriously. Also, fuck this stupid website, I want a line break, but even after fighting with this dumpsterfire for a about 30 minutes the only solution I found was adding a bunch of spaces like a boomer.)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         I'm a 23-year-old from the farthest corner of Narnia, meaning Finland. Studying English (language and literature) in University. I mostly reblog all kinds of random posts that I find interesting, funny, important, beautiful, or whatever but also fandom stuff since I love movies, music, tv-series, books, stuff that doesn't fall into any of the previous categories like adorable baby animals, youtubers, and food, and life. I made this blog for my own amusement, but since it is quite hilarious in my opinion, it's possible it might manage to amuse or interest (or whatever) other people too, and that's great. You are very welcome to talk to me whenever you feel like it. I usually like people and I do not bite. Unless you're into that, of course.

confirming their romantic relationship while also asserting boundaries that the status is ours to know but the relationship itself belongs only to them is so important actually

I just don’t get it. How can our society act so goddamned normal about seahorses. How can anybody so casually accept that that’s a fish???

This is one of nature’s most anatomically perverse of all beasts. A FISH, like a carp or a bass or a beta is a fish, but it bent its body straight up only to bend its head permanently back down. It stretched its skull into a pipe. It tapered its tail like a lizard, specifically like a chameleon. It can also move its eyes independently by the way, you know, like a chameleon. Fun fact, it can change color to express its mood, like you know whatever does that. It doesn’t properly swim anymore. It buzzes its few remaining fins like an insect’s wings to float itself around at a snail’s pace. It lives its whole life clinging to coral branches or seaweed, which means it decided to become a “tree dweller” in an environment where gravity didn’t even matter anyway. The males get pregnant. They make noises at each other by rubbing some of their neck bones together. Every day, EVERY DAY a mated pair does a little dance and a little neck bone song so they remember which two seahorses they were. They’re a beautiful precious obscenity. Nothing so adorable ever made such a strong case against a logical creator.

They have as little skin and meat as they could get away with. Their skeleton is almost all they are.

This thing is one of the most successful hunters on the planet. Because their mouth is fused shut, except for the tip, they can create a powerful suction force in front of that one little opening in order to draw in prey. 

Lions have a 20-30% success rate on their hunts, depending on daytime and if they’re in a group. Great white sharks, anywhere from 40% to 80%, depending on the size and skill of the individual. Dragonflies, which are one of the most successful terrestrial hunters, can hit about 80-85%. Seahorses? 90% success rate, sometimes more. Only a fraction of their prey escapes that powerful vacuum. They’re incredibly precise. 

If you touch them, they feel hard, because of the skeleton underneath their skin. Their tails are being studied to make coiling bridges, because of how strong that interlocked structure is. Different species range in size from over a foot long, to barely an inch. 

Behold: not just a fish, but a wildly successful predator!

don’t forget their majestic cousins the sea dragons! these are the leafy and weedy sea dragons

and the newest seahorse family member, discovered in 2015, the ruby sea dragon ❤️

[bogleech]

Yeah that’s when someone tried to straighten the seahorse back out and it still didn’t look right. The more they bent and mushed it in their hands to look like a fish again the worse they fucked it up until finally they just left it and walked off and hoped nobody would ask who did this

(I love them so much)

If you want a straight seahorse you’ll be delighted to discover the existance of the pipefish, the third cousin of seahorses and sea dragons, and worm-on-a-string lookalike:

after all those pope and vatican posts i feel like you should know. he's just died. on easter weekend too the timing is foul 😭😭

And this is how I find out.

[obsidianarchangel16]

Finding out pope dead on a reblog chain about late finding out pope Francis passed after finding out he gave massive shade to jd Vance as his near final act.

Way to pass like a gigachad.

Gods rest to you pope Francis, we didn't always agree but I did respect you.

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you

[birdandmoon]

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
