Here she is!!! Ol’ Maw Maw’s wife, Sunny ☀️ 🐟

Sunny is a laid-back, eccentric hippie that didn’t fit in with Salmonid society; instead, free spirit that she is, she decided to wander the land and eventually settled down in the Splatlands to paint landscapes, meditate and commune with the Earth. She met Flow in her younger days hitchhiking to music festivals, but now she’s living with Maw Maw and tends to their garden behind the diner- although not a lot of her vegetables make it into Maw Maw’s greasy, feel-good meals!

  • Subjected to cruel and inhumane experimentation.
  • Lost people they truly cared about.
  • Have anger/trust issues, along with low self-esteem, due to trauma.
  • Meeting respective teams changes their life directions.

Joyful ceramic figurines by artist Sawako Kobayashi, I love how colorful and detailed the painting is! You can see here:

a really obscure piece of lore* since its really only mentioned in the octo expansion artbook that never got officially translated is that salmonids dont have names the same way other beings in the splatoon world do. they are often just called [title] of [clan name] (ex: Valiant Green Flame Born of Trout Hell Canyon is the name of the drummer in omega-3) extrapolating from that one could assume that when a salmonid becomes lost from their clan they also lose their names (if they uh dont starve as implied by the 8th scroll in splat3) and that naming ur lil buddy is probably something deeply important to them 🥺

Probably the 'default' would be something like Lil Buddy to the New Squidbeak Splatoon

*Update! Because of the website update these names are now available in English in an official capacity! Woo!

its possible to personally dislike or fear a creature w out demonizing it. u can be afraid of and annoyed by animals like snakes and mosquitos and roaches and rats etc w out treating them like theyre inherently evil or out to get u. theyre just animals. we're just animals. whether u like it or not they live here with us and its honestly really weird that theres such a pervasive deep rooted habit of anthropomorphizing these animals just to say theyre malicious and actively trying to cause harm

like idk man i just dont think its normal or healthy to look at animals exhibiting their natural behaviors and assume its being done solely to target u. thats just some little beast dude it doesnt know shit. it just knows it needs to defend itself and survive and sometimes that means the paths u cross will be unpleasant, thats literally just how shit works. learn to tolerate and coexist with the creatures u fear and i promise the existence of these animals wont be as scary

watching a video about this cargo ship that blew up in texas in the 40’s and it’s like . i know that with a lot of incidents especially older ones like this the reason that the safety standards were so shitty was because they literally did not know that these kinds of disasters COULD happen (and in many cases these disasters are what MADE the safety standards better) but sometimes you just learn about this shit and you think. how could all these people be so stupid

- cargo of the ship consisted of twine (flammable) peanuts (flammable, oily) and cotton (FLAMMABLE) from houston and POST WAR AMMUNITION (OH MY GOD) FROM CUBA

- additional cargo they were picking up in texas city was LOOSE BAGS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE that the dock workers described as being ANOMALOUSLY WARM UPON BEING LOADED INTO THE SHIP ??????

- small fire breaks out in cargo hold, instead of putting it out with water that could damage the cargo the captain decides to close all the hatches to try to make the cargo hold airtight and smother the fire (stupid but you can kind of understand how they got there)

- the heat of the trapped smoke in the cargo hold instead causes the aforementioned LOOSE BAGS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE to undergo a chemical reaction and turn into nitrous oxide, massively increasing the pressure inside of the airtight hold

- one of the hatch covers fails

- mfw all the pressure in the cargo hold is released at once causing an explosion that fucking levels everything in the port within 2000 feet

- mfw the shockwave shatters windows up to a hundred miles away

- mfw on-fire twine and peanuts and fucking grenades are raining down over texas city

- mfw some of the pieces of the ship got launched into the sky faster than the speed of sound

- mfw they found the ship’s anchor inside of a ten foot wide crater over a mile and a half away

- mfw this was one of the largest and most devastating non-nuclear explosions in world history

- mfw this could have been avoided if they’d just taken the L and put the fire out with water

also worth a mention: the SECOND boat that exploded in a very similar manner the next day which was an even more violent explosion, but less devastating because most of the port was. you know. already leveled and evacuated

someone running rescue and recovery after the FIRST boat exploded noticed that the second boat's cargo was on fire and reported it....and this just went. ignored. for several hours. until someone was like "oh shit better get this under control" and tried to move the boat to no avail and they just gave up and evacuated

next day it started raining glowing-hot metal boat chunks all over the city. AGAIN.

Today's problematic ships are the Grandcamp (first explosion) and High Flyer (second explosion).

eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay

coming from the perspective of an addict in recovery. i'm a lot, i need help, i am a burden, and i am so, so loved and supported by my friends and family. i owe them my life and my heart

Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.

Anonymous asked:

to counter the last anon i have a dead mom and it's really funny to deadpan to someone who makes a your mom joke "my mom's dead actually" bc they panic then hit 'em w the "it's fine lol!" (bc forreal i have never actually been upset over it if someone didn't know) but the day i met my now best friend in the entire world they made a dead mom joke i hit 'em w the sad eyes "she's dead actually" and they came back immediately with "she's six feet under and im six inches deep" and we've been in love ever since

“can’t shake the devil’s hand and say you’re only kidding” is the most concise and powerful dismissal of people who are “jokingly” racist and i can’t believe it’s from a They Might Be Giants song

Man, They Might Be Giants has always been political.

the fossil pokemon of this gen are inspired by several incidents in britain (and europe at large but mostly britain) where many fossils were put together completely wrong, resulting in shit like this being in actual museums. this particular one (the “otto von guerick unicorn”) is actually from germany, but it’s the funniest of them. see the crystal palace dinosaurs or the piltdown man for british examples

in the game, you’re combining fossils from completely different extinct pokemon, resulting in these monstrosities that have dex entries like this:

  • “Its mighty legs are capable of running at speeds exceeding 40 mph, but this Pokémon can’t breathe unless it’s underwater.“
  • “The shaking of its freezing upper half is what generates its electricity. It has a hard time walking around.“
  • “Though it’s able to capture prey by freezing its surroundings, it has trouble eating the prey afterward because its mouth is on top of its head.“

some of the 8 dex entries even speculate why these pokemon may have gone extinct, which is funny because they never existed in the first place. they’re chimeras that are exclusive to the pokemon universe’s modern times.

the professor lady who puts the fossils together in the pokemon games is even named Cara Liss (careless)

some people have made fanart of what the original pokemon may have looked like, here’s onehere’s another, and here’s a third!
