For the last day of MerMay, I figured I’d post these concepts I’ve had sitting around forever! Subnautica AU with Irkens as intelligent sea-life, and Dib as the sole survivor of the Aurora crash.

You can imagine what happens next.

Person 1 (blue shirt): Whatever you're eating right now? Probably shouldn't go in your face hole.

Person 2 (grey hoodie): Which hole should it go in?

Person 3 (black hoodie): Somebody please help me there's a lasagna in my ass and I don't --

I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

[saint-batrick]

jesus christ, i experienced brief but severe grief over not actually being able to experience this.

[cipheramnesia]

I think it would feel like a lizard tongue but I've never had a lizard drink out of my hand either, and thus the whole thing remains conceptually elusive.

[hypercam2-mp4]

this put such a vivid image in my head i needed to make it real as soon as i got home

[cipheramnesia]

This makes me indescribably overjoyed.

I love leather and I love fur and I don’t mind arguing about it.

[byjove]

“Do you think it’s okay to slaughter animals for their skin?” I eat them too AUGH AUGH AUGH AUGH

[byjove]

“doctor I’m wearing a leather jacket and eating a hamburger please you have to take me away I’m a danger to society”

[goat-heirop]

"doctor I prefer using biodegradable materials which only need one animal dead to be created and worn for years, instead of polluting the enviornment with microplastics Wich end up killing hundrets of animals by wearing a fake leather jacket that i have to replace maybe all 3 years"

[letsboldlygomotherfuckers]

not to mention leather is literally a waste product of the meat industry, no animal is ever killed for just its leather bc the skin is worth like 4% of the total value, if it's not used for leather it's literally just wasted. and it's one of the most resilient and repairable materials there is (rabbit fur is also a waste product, as far as I know it's mink you want to avoid bc they are bred for their fur in inhumane conditions)

“Oh that animal doesn’t LIKE you it just TOLERATES you” …..So? If that’s the most a non-social organism can feel towards you isn’t that just as special an honor as whatever it is you think affection means??

[pixeltheleopardgecko]

“This creature with no natural social instincts outside of mating allows me to freely interact with it, while causing it little stress” is fucking DOPE AS SHIT

[weaselle]

also… are you SURE? like, we’re still finding out so much about animals. Wolverines fathers, who we thought were not involved in caring for kits, turn out to travel around and collect all their kits from multiple mothers and take the whole group out on camping trips. Some spiders have tiny frog pets (!) or group up to communally raise their young. Wild sharks, crocodiles, and snakes have formed strong, documented relationships with people. 

this man Gilberto (Chito) Shedden nursed this crocodile back to health after it was shot in the eye, and they were best friends for the rest of the crocodile’s life.

this python came in out of the wild as a baby snake and curled up next to the family’s infant, Oun Sam­bat (or Oeun Sambat?) and they were inseparable for 12 years

Cristina Zenato removes hooks from sharks and they let her stick her hand down their throat to do it and they even bring other sharks who need help to see her.

It’s a relationship that goes beyond a single helpful interaction. For example one of the sharks that would show up when she first started swimming with them was a shark she called Foggy Eye who really didn’t like to be touched. One day, Foggy Eye showed up with a hook in her mouth that Cristina Zenato removed, and ever after, Foggy Eye cuddles when she visits, putting her head in Cristina’s lap and enjoying some petting

 We don’t know SO much. Some wolf spiders will adopt unrelated orphaned spiderlings and raise them. We recently discovered that the ant-mimicking jumping spider (below) produces “milk” and suckles its young until they are nearly fully grown.

SO. Don’t assume we know all about what creatures do or feel or whether or not they form social connections or bond with others.

[fierceawakening]

Stuff like this is why I honestly think… not that really simple, nuance-flattening ideas like “speciesism” are correct, but that… we do need to be humble when tempted to base how we understand our moral duties to other beings on how much their behavior or even their neurology resembles ours.

I once took a grasshopper with an injured leg into my snail terrarium and gave it food (and a safe place to rest bc let’s be real garden snails can’t catch even an injured grasshopper) and when I released it back to the garden it kept hanging around for DAYS and jumped on my hand every time I went out
