Happy Birthday, Freminet!

Was this close to panicing because I thought I missed an important meeting for my job and as it turns out the time was in IST (India Standard Time)

Happy Halloween!

Tongue-eating Louse (Cymothoa exigua)

Distribution: Fairly widespread; found in the eastern Pacific, from the gulf of California down to the gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador, as well as parts of the Atlantic; inhabits waters from 2 to 60 metres in depth.

Habitat: Inhabits waters from 2 to 60 metres in depth; adults live on or in the bodies of fish; juveniles swim freely in the water column.

Diet: Parasitic; feeds off its host's blood and mucus; hosts include snappers, grunts, drums and grunions.

Description: The tongue-eating louse is an ectoparasitic isopod. A juvenile louse swims in the water column until it encounters a suitable host and attaches itself to its gills—soon after this maturing into a male. As it grows, the male eventually becomes female and migrates through the gills to its host's mouth, where it will use a pair of sharp claws to sever the blood vessels leading to its tongue. Once the tongue falls off due to necrosis, the louse will attach itself to the tongue stub and functionally "become" the fish's tongue. Surprisingly, this actually causes little damage to the fish, though hosts carrying many parasites are often underweight.

Once a host dies, the tongue-eating louse will eventually detach itself from its tongue stub, but will remain clinging to the head or body of its dead host. This species is completely harmless to humans, though can occasionally be found in the mouth of commercial fish.

Hey Sucrose buddy, you um okay there?

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

Walking in a winter wonderland~

The view in my yard this morning was incredible, so I took a walk around to see what I could take pictures of and these are some of the treasures I found.

Like to slap Boba Fett's bald head, reblog to bonk Din Djarin's shiny dome

Neat 🙂

Mythology Discussion

A very ambitious piece for me.

Their designs still needs altering, but overall I'm very happy with this!

(Also, it’s unseen but Grimsley does have a dorsal fin)

I might make more things for this AU in the future, provided inspiration comes.

(Also, zoom in on Beheeyem and Sharpedo for a cute little part of this drawing. It's silly, but I like it.)
