self care for me is drawing food
anyone else who is in a happily committed relationship notice that people’s line for where the “honeymoon” phase ends just extends ever into the future like some ominous axe they keep insisting will fall?
in the beginning it was “oh your relationship is just starting!! of course you feel like she’s special and amazing, just wait a few months until the pattern of the relationship settles in”
then a few months later is “oh you haven’t even been together a full year yet, wait until you’ve been together that long”
then after a year it’s “well wait until you live together, that’s when it really happens- you’ll get annoyed by her habits and start taking things for granted”
then after living together for a year they’re like “well actually it happens after living together for five years”
I can’t help picturing myself in my 60s telling someone how breathtaking and wonderful my partner is and someone’s like “it’s cute how you’re still in that honeymoon phase, but just wait until you’re in your 70s, that’s when you really settle into the relationship”
hello i have learnt more spider facts
- spiders will pull their own legs clean off if they get damaged because most of them can regrow legs during molting, which explains why you often see spiders missing a leg but never any missing half a leg?
- some remarkably distressing scientists proved this by getting a spider to pull off all of its legs and then feeding its limbless torso for months until it sprouted a full complement of legs again and then hopefully used them to get the fuck out of dodge
- baby spiders don’t get lenses until their first molt and before that they just have baby eyes and while this ought not to be any weirder than the concept of baby teeth, welp,
- there are so many spiders floating around thousands of metres up in the air that they’re described as “aerial plankton”
- The Sky Is Full Of Spiders
- there are spider-parasitising spiders but instead of laying eggs in organs or stealing blood or anything like that they just ride on top of bigger spiders and steal snacks when their mighty steed is eating
- there are ant-mimicking spiders that use their disguises to raid ant nests and w/e but there are also ant mimics that just. hang out. they make fake ant colonies full of fake ants. sometimes the actual ants that they’re mimicking find their house and live with them. stealth 100
- some mother spiders live in communal family nests, where multiple mothers can work together to bring down bigger prey while all their collected babies are cared for by the babysitters
- some mother spiders feed their babies mouth to mouth like birds
- some mother spiders carry their babies around and i was aware of this but not the fact that if you steal their eggsac they’ll freak out and search for it for hours and sometimes end up adopting anything that’s vaguely the right size, they will carry around empty snail shells for weeks and lovingly dote on them…
- guys i am literally about to cry over spider moms

i borrowed the book op cites from the library (biology of spiders by rainer f. foelix) because of this post and my two favourite new spider facts are
-they don’t just have an exoskeleton – they also have a secret partial inside skeleton
and
-you know the guy who gave spiders drugs and took pictures of their fucked up webs? he ended up studying them because his buddy was studying garden spiders and they spin webs at 2-5 am and his buddy was like, Ugh, fuck this, i want to sleep in, do you have anything i can give these spiders to make them spin webs at not two in the morning -and this guy, A Pharmacologist, was like, hell yea, here are some amphetamines for your spiders -and all those did was make the spiders spin some exceptionally weird webs at 2-5am -and i guess his buddy gave up in disgust at these spiders who wouldn’t let him sleep but mr. spider amphetamines was like, you know what, this is cool, i’m gonna keep going with this

Pell ur a hero. Wtf
given the facts that 81% of 10 yr-old girls are afraid of becoming fat and young girls report being more afraid of becoming fat than of getting cancer or experiencing nuclear war, i think we can abandon the idea that public anti-obesity campaigns are actually about promoting health
The 500 follower count poll had an overwhelming number of votes in favor of a good old fashioned weight gain drive! AND, I have gotten dozens of requests for chub!Bakugo. So, why not have the best of both?!
Bakugo does not seem all too happy about my decision, and it took some coercing to convince him to participate. Perhaps, some TLC from my lovely followers can convince him that a few extra pounds is not all that bad~
And, as always, the character is aged up.

hey why do y’all claim to support autistic ppl but still make fun of “weird kids” at school and mock ppl for being too invested in special interests or not loving things “normally” and/or having strange stims or stuttering speech + the autistic kids who get bad grades and don’t function well in school or outside of it? or the adults who are socially awkward and aloof and stay at home a lot, etc? why does your support of us only extend to the ones who can pretend they’re allistic really well? because you can’t have it both ways, either support all of us or none at all
