*like actually learning/being interested in learning English, not like a few words or phrases. I actually started to understand English (specifically spoken) when I started watching doctor who, cause I couldn’t find it subbed. I learned the word “mannequin” from there lol
Also please reblog for bigger sample size etc
For day 5 of 4haloweek !
AU in which the solitary grim reaper has to take the life of a famous elf thief, but falls for his bright smile and ends up building a friendship with him instead.
Guy who was wrong and then died and came back fine. Nobody figured out what the issue was but the hard reboot seemed to do the trick

Farmer Queen Pearl how i miss u....... I gave a cool sword, a cute dress and also some gloves because she's royalty but she's also a farmer and does a lot of work outside!!
Also, this is the last one i've done so far and i'm leaving for summer vacation so no more tarot updates for a while :]] I'll post other art in the meantime dw
QSMP Actors AU where Quesadilla Island is the set of a reality TV show, except only the NPCs (and a handful of Islanders) know it’s a TV show and the rest of them think it’s 100% real.
I think it’d be really funny if the Brazilians and French legitimately crash-landed on the Island in the middle of filming and the producers were just like “This is great for numbers, let’s leave them there and see what happens.” (This would also mean Felps is “in the know” now because he hung out with the crew while he was “kidnapped.” He just didn’t tell anyone about it when he came back because he thinks it’s hilarious).
the audacity of a blog with 10 followers thinking they can kung pow penis
I LOVE ARTISTS YALL ARE SO COOL AND CREATIVE!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! its all very neat to see :D
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
they’re Kitty and Mimmy now I’m NOT. WRONG.
sorta redraw of this! ^
Probably a stupid question but, can invertebrates become overweight? Animals kept as pets can get too "loved" and become overweight, but can this also happen to, idk, slugs, millipedes, etc.?
depends on the bug! in general most bugs will just not eat if they don’t feel hungry. quite often my amblypygi and centipedes refuse food, and will do so for long periods of time when close to molting.
many herbivores or detritivores like slugs, caterpillars, millipedes, isopods, or cockroaches will eat plant matter all day until they meet their needs. however, for certain animals. captive diets can be too rich in nutrients. most roaches are adapted to eat low-protein diets and therefore store protein efficiently as uric acid crystals. in captivity, too much protein essentially give roaches gout and can kill them, so dog/cat/fish food should be given in moderation (depending on species, 20-30% protein is more than enough and less is fine, I raise B. dubia entirely on vegetable and fruit scraps).
predatory bugs also can be overfed. some tarantulas can become obese which is concerning for them since they have thin, soft abdomens which rupture easily, so obese tarantulas are more susceptible to injury and molting failure. my A. chalcodes Cassandra hasn’t eaten since the previous autumn and not lost any weight, so it seems to depend on the species and individual’s metabolism if they’ll overeat. some centipedes can look awfully bloated in captivity, but not enough is known about them to say if that’s unhealthy. I try to keep my centipedes fairly slim, and mine seem to not feed if they’re not hungry as well.
in general, my advice for feeding arthropods is to try and mimic natural diets as much as possible. slugs and caterpillars need to eat constantly to extract nutrients from their watery, fibrous plant diets, so should always have food available. cockroaches, millipedes, and isopods are detritivores, so should always have dead leaves or vegetable bits to eat, and protein can be offered in moderation as needed. predators should be fed plenty after molting, and maintained not-at-bursting for the rest of that instar
pretty pigeon i saw recently :)
What an interesting colour and pattern it has.
apparently male spiders in many species have evolved a behavior to catapult away from females after sex to avoid getting eaten but then many of these spiders will go back to the same females as before and attempt to have sex with them again 😭
spiders are incredible it’s baffling to me that people hate them. like are you hearing this.
