SOMEONE STOLE A FUCKING SHARK FROM MY CITY’S AQUARIUM

i see the resemblance 

“The individual obviously had some knowledge on how to deal with these types of animals, we said that from the very beginning, otherwise why take it? And when we got into the garage and into the house, it looked like almost a mockup of (the aquarium),” Salvaggio said. “He had a lot of different marine animals in the home. (He) very much knew what he was doing – kept that animal alive and was able to continue to see that animal thrive which was pretty shocking to all of us.”

this is

is this what Team Rocket would look like in real life

Burnt cheese tastes amazing but burnt milk is disgusting.

Different things taste different when burnt 🤯

how on earth do you bu

Put on stove and don’t stir

Or in my case once, /

put it on the hobs and stir! /

took ages to clean. /

Directly on the hobs?

How would you even stir that? Let alone cleaning...

Bench-Finder

Ever since I adopted Flynn, he’s had a habit of “finding” & showing me benches he comes across. He will excitedly run to the bench & then hang around, watching keenly as I approach, making sure I notice what he’s showing me. Flynn seems quite disappointed if I ignore his find - he’ll hang back by the seat for a time & give me the same expression he might if I refused a request to play. 

Over the years, Flynn has even taken to physically herding me towards certain favourite benches - like this one! If I seem like I am going to pass the bench without stopping, Flynn will drift into my path, then stop dead, standing right in front of my feet, body angled strategically so that, in order for me to step around Flynn, I also have to step towards the bench. He is… surprisingly good at pushing you in the way he wants you to go. He’ll do this to one or two of our close friends too. 

While generally focused on benches, Flynn also has a remarkable memory for any random place I’ve stopped for a rest… If I once sat on a fallen tree trunk, or a stump, or a wall, or rock, then when we pass that way again - even many weeks later & even if it’s well off the path - Flynn will start trying to usher me that way again. “Here’s your seat, Madam!”

This insistence I regularly stop & sit makes me laugh because Flynn is definitely not doing it because he wants a rest… & I know he also finds me stopping for a break on walks terribly boring. I know this, because generally within a few seconds of me complying & sitting down (& getting observed by the dog!), Flynn decides, “Right. Job done. The human is rested, time to move” & starts hopping about, doing his “Get up, get up, get up!” dance. If that doesn’t work, he’ll try to get me onto my feet & down the path, using his ball as a lure, but that’s another story.

I’d assume Flynn insists I sit (briefly!) because *sometimes* he gets a treat when we stop at a bench but he gets treats regularly while we walk - & I play with him throughout too… So when & why did The Human Must Sit On The Bench become a rule, in Flynn’s collie mind? 

He’s a weird little dog.

A weird & manipulative little dog. I think I’ve been trained & I’m not certain what for!!

I clipped the part of Scar's guest appearance on the Imp and Skizz podcast where they talk about Jellie being added to Minecraft :)

[transcript:

Impulse: —uh, on camera we see a friend of yours, uh, at the door there, meowing. Scar: (laughs) Oh no. Impulse: Uh, wanting out, that's Jellie, I think most people are familiar with— Scar: Yeah. Impulse: With Jellie! Jeliie's almost as famous as you are, in fact, uh, Jellie was added to Minecraft. Scar: Yeah. Impulse: Ho—how did that come about? Scar: It was a—there was like a contest, right? It was... submit a picture of your cat, when they were updating the cats, so they were going from the three cats to nine, and the ninth cat would be someone from the community. And, you know I looked at Jellie and I thought "That cat. I—I got that cat when I—w—the first year I was sick." Impulse: Mhm. Scar: And that cat has sat next to me from beta, or alpha Minecraft, till today. Just sitting right next to me playing this game, and supporting me beyond any support, that—that y'know Jellie has been there for me, and I thought "you know what? That cat's special. Like that cat—that cat has been literally sitting here playing Minecraft with me from alpha till... what was that, 2019. Skizz: Wow. Scar: And... and I was like "that—there's something special about Jellie," and I submitted it. And... Yeah, she went through like two... two things, like submit it, and then she made the finals, and then eventually, uh won, and then Jasper, the Minecraft artist, you know. I think did a really good representation of Jellie. And uh, Jellie for now, y'know, from now on lives in Minecraft and is now hardcoded in the game, so if you want Jellie you just type "J-E-L-L—" I just... forget how to spell Jellie's name? Impulse: (laughs) Scar: J-E-L-L-I-E, into the game, and you get a—you get a Jellie spawned! Impulse: Wow. Scar: Which I just hope, like—like I said, like, when it happened I was like "I hope that Jellie can give you, y'know, the companionship, and—and take you on the adventures that she has." That's—that's right, Jellie! Impulse & Skizz: (laugh) Scar: Um. That she'd done for me, for—for—for y—y'know, for everyone else, and—it seems like people love seeing her and, and... I think she has a really cool story of like being here from like Minecraft alpha days all the way to when they added her in—in 2019. Impulse: Mhm. Scar: So. Yeah, Jellie—Jeliie's in the game, you can find her as the ninth cat. She's the... she's the, uh, the cutest of them all. Impulse: Yeah. Skizz: Yeah. Impulse: Absolutely, hundred percent. No—no contest. Skizz: That is so cool! Impulse: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that, when— When it got announced that Jellie was actually making it into the game, I was just like "that is, like, the coolest thing. I—I know someone who has, like, now contributed something to the game." Skizz: A character in the game. Impulse: That's gonna be there, yeah. And then has such a great story. Skizz: Like, that is so cool. Scar: I, I— I thought she had a nice story. And she's, yeah. She's—she's a special cat. (they laugh)

small cat-sized dragons are one of if not the best size for dragons to be. can be held, easily cuddled, more compact hoards (just dont call them small, you will die), fits in many more places, and more cute than threatening even though it could still easily rip you apart if it wanted (but let's be real, why do that when it can just get constant free meals and pets from you?)

and you just know that this thing purrs like a motherfucker.

Avit sees a turtle. It's wearing a hard hat and munching on a cucumber that is also inexplicably sitting there.

*woa! turtle. avit's approaching the turtle*

hello! is that cucumber nice?

Avatar

It's alright. Not bitter enough but it's got a good crunch.

My name's Theo. I'm a turtle.

*avit's stunned for a moment, since they didn't know that the turtle could talk. but they recover quickly enough*

nice to meet you theo! i'm avit! i'm a ghost! where'd you get the cucumber?

It was just lying here and I was kinda hungry so I started eating.

neat! i've never noticed cucumubers just sitting in places, but i guess it's convenient that you did!

what kind of turtle are you?

I have been told that I am a snapping turtle.

What kind of human are you? I've seen pink, tan and brown humans but I've never seen a purplish-grayish human before.

i'm dead! a bit foggy on the details though!

*to make sure the pun comes across, they mistify a little bit. just their entire arm becoming a light purple fog, no biggie*

Weird. Most dead humans can't talk.

So. Are you sure you're dead?

yup! i'm a ghost, even got it checked by a ghost doctor!

What's that?

a ghost or a doctor?

Yeah

a ghost is a boneless skeleton! and a doctor is a professional at science!

You're saying more words that I don't know, but I know what bones and skeletons are and I'm pretty sure a skeleton has to have bones to be a skeleton.

exactly why a boneless skeleton isn't a skeleton!

...That makes no sense, and it makes me kind of mad.

Please pick me up so I can bite you.

okay!

*avit solidifies a physical touch, and picks up theo. normally i'd question whether or not theo could even bite avit, but at least part of them is physical so biting can probably happen*

Chomp! A mighty bite.

Thank you. Please set me down, I have a cucumber to finish.

got it!

*avit puts theo down, a minor inconvenience's distance from the cucumber*

Theo squints at Avit, then walks over to the cucumber and resumes eating it, no longer paying Avit any attention.
