wholesome story :)

When he was a guest on Game Grumps, he told a story about playing Wii for the first time. It was at one of these big music industry person party things and he was just trying to fit in and relax. Someone suggested trying out this new crazy motion controlled video game called Wii. They fired up Wii Bowling and Al promptly (accidentally) threw the controller at the TV as hard as he could

I cannot believe the wii warning sillhouette guy was weird al

Map of Native American etymologies for “horse”. There were no horses in the Americas before the colonists arrived. Native Americans quickly developed new words for this strange animal, often associating them with dogs, their one other domestic animal before contact with Europe.

The Spanish: Look at this animal we brought with us.

Native Americans: oh that’s a uh. Weird fucking dog you got there.

Why do some fish have bones in their eyes?

Great question! I assume you're referring to the sclerotic ring, which is present in many groups of animals, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as the fossils of many dinosaurs.

Their primary function is to support the eye and help it keep its shape- this is especially important for animals which live in very low or very high pressure environments, such as the bottom of the ocean.

(Image: The skulls and x-rays of a variety of species, all of which display a sclerotic ring, by Tamara Anne Franz-Odendaal)

Franz-Odendaal's paper on the subject is quite interesting, as it dives into the evolution and function of the scleral ring.

tobias is often depicted in fanon as a tender cinnamon roll (which is 100% real) but i also love how he's the only one who coolly sasses the ellimist early in the series. like imagine figuratively spitting at god's feet despite having zero self-confidence all his life. no wonder rachel loves him

and speaking of their love it's so iconic how in #33 he breaks and says everyone's name except rachel's...and at the end he reflects on his indeterminate identity and sense of self but understands that he's secure in the knowledge that he's the one rachel loves. he doesn't know who he is but it's ok because he identifies as her beloved and he's got his life ahead of him (scream) to figure it out. i like jake and cassie but they could never

youre literally about to have me sobbing on a monday morning lmfao. when he said "Be rachel" so she wouldnt kill taylor- Shakespeare could never . Whoever left those comments about him being the only person who could say that to her and it mean mercy and not murder.. (screaming crying throwing up)

yotici have always felt out of place bc they were just kind of a very loose jumble of different biological concepts i found interesting, without being well integrated into the world's ecology. here's an attemptedly final redesign for blightseed's only sapient aquatic species
