"Not all monsters do monstrous things". AND??? I want to be a monster who DOES monstrous things. I want to scare humans. I want to be FEARED. I want to be FIERCE, BAD, FERAL, AGGRESSIVE, VIOLENT.

I will be the nightmare that torments humans.

Nectar-loving tree frog likely moves pollen from flower to flower

The creamy fruit and nectar-rich flowers of the milk fruit tree are irresistible to Xenohyla truncata, a tree frog native to Brazil. On warm nights, the dusky-colored frogs take to the trees en masse, jostling one another for a chance to nibble the fruit and slurp the nectar. In the process, the frogs become covered in sticky pollen grains—and might inadvertently pollinate the plants, too. It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported last month in Food Webs.

Scientists long thought only insects and birds served as pollinators, but research has revealed that some reptiles and mammals are more than up to the task. Now, scientists must consider whether amphibians are also capable of getting the job done. It’s likely that the nectar-loving frogs, also known as Izecksohn’s Brazilian tree frogs, are transferring pollen as they move from flower to flower, the authors say. But more research is needed, they add, to   confirm that frogs have joined the planet’s pantheon of pollinators.

Trying really hard to stay away from Honkai Star Rail but I have multiple mutuals who are playing it so it keeps crossing my desk. I don’t want to fall in the gacha hole again

Well if it helps Star rail can be completely free to play, the starter characters you get are way more powerful then their counterparts in genshin, and you get way more opportunities to pull early on right now for free.

So really you can ignore the whole gacha system and just play the game as is, and you can still get good characters without spending money at all

Please shut the fuck up

Exact opposite of the thing to say to someone tryna avoid getting into a gacha.

there is so much to adore about dungeon meshi but it really boils down to it being a work full of passion and wonder. you can tell ryoko kui is genuinely fascinated by the monsters and the world and the people living in it and the relationships they share with each other and their environment. there are questions and there are reasons and there are mysteries and they often leave you struggling but you can't help being drawn to them nonetheless. it's in the way she draws her characters and the way she totally thought about most of the questions popping in our minds way before we ever got to know her story. it's heartwarming and sincere, and there's something almost nostalgic about it. it's about the hunger for knowledge and the hunger for connection and the hunger for acceptance and it's self indulgent but still has an appeal to others. simply timeless
