The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
Ichthyology Notes 2/?
I’ll be real with you chief, this shit genuinely scares me. Like I get it’s interesting and all that but I’m just thinking that one day, one of these things will be “alive” and it’ll be unable to do anything other then be alone with its thoughts, incapable of ending its own suffering as it slowly dies from its malformed existence.
Thank you for sharing this information, hope you have a lovely day :)
This post went really viral recently on twitter and tiktok and of course a lot people accuse it of being fake but no, sometimes an animal just accidentally forms as a hilarious ball of that animal. It's not alive but it is always the funniest possible thing to happen to the embryonic development of what should have just been a cow or a goat.
Fun Fact: The longest piece of literature ever written is a Loud House fanfiction called "Loud House Revamped".
The fanfiction is currently above 16,777,215 words (we don't know the word count because fanfic.net uses 24-bit integers to count the amount of words and this fic surpassed the computational limit), and is 2000+ chapters. It is written by Jamesdean5842 and is still being written to this day.
The story is about an OC named JD Knudson who moves into the Louds town and goes on adventures with them after creating a superhero team with them. According to the recap (Obviously not even close to finished recap) on Tvtropes.org, the fic consists mainly of loud house episode plots rewritten to include the OC and a multitude of crossovers with other franchises from any piece of media you could possibly think of. (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheLoudHouseRevamped)
Some examples of the crossovers are Ed, Edd n Eddy, Naruto, Dante's Inferno, Inside Out, Matilda, Pulp Fiction, CatDog, Metroid, The Simpsons. This is a very small selection of the crossovers done in the fic.
Despite the fic's main characters being minors, the story contains lots of swearing, sex, romance, drugs, and violence. The sheer amount of strange details about this fic is crazy, reading the TVtropes page will give you some intense mental whiplash. (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/TheLoudHouseRevamped)
This is just the tip of the iceberg for this story, it is absolutely insane.
MOODBOARDS FOR FUN🎭
ASK ME ANYTHING AND I SHALL REPLY THROUGH MOODBOARDS.
Shit, this open my mind
First time posting my analyses here !!! It’s Fyodors cultural representation & symbolism in general !
A lot more people liked my Mer-Legend concept/sketch thingy than what I thought, so here’s a progress report, since I haven’t actually finished:
He’s bald
And to distract you all from the fact that I haven’t actually done that much progress, here’s some fun facts that I learned about the Zelda franchise.
Legend found a temple, believed to be a grave, called The Temple of the Four Sword, where Legend had to fight four dark Links, all color coordinated too. Wonder what that’s about. Apparently the purple one is the hardest fight of the four.
There is Zelda game that crossover with Crypt of NecroDancer called Candence of Hyrule, making it a rhythm based game.
Wind and Time show up in Warrior’s timeline for his “adventure” (in quotation marks because it was a full on war). Here’s some other characters that showed up: Shiek (Time), Daruina (Time), Princess Ruto (Time), Midna (Twilight), Fi (it’s Fi, like), Marin (Legend), Medli (Wind), Ravio (Legend), Tetra (Wind), and Skull Kid (Time)
There’s a girl in Warrior’s timeline named Linkle. Fanfic seems to suggest she’s Warrior’s sister/twin, but I couldn’t find anything about that, so…
One of Legend’s adventures was getting stranded in an island named Koholint after his raft got stuck in a storm (where he was struck by lightning), and the actual adventure was waking up this fish god per the islanders’ request. Upon waking up the fish you learn that the entire adventure was a dream created by the fish and that none of it (expect the storm) was real. In this dream Legend was saved by a girl who wished to become a seagull, and who Legend fell in love with. Her name was Marin. Warriors should probably mention to him that she’s alive somewhere.
Legend is apparently Zelda’s sibling. His timeline believes that boys born into the royal family are bad luck and taint the goddess magic, which is why the family is cursed to have boys with incredibly bright colored hair, makes them easy to hunt. It’s why Legend has pink hair.
In the topic of Legend and curses, during his first adventure a wizard had taken over Hyrule, imprisoning Zelda and brainwashing the knights into believing that Legend was a traitor to the crown.
There was another game in Wind’s time line involving trains. I don’t know if the protag Link is still Wind, just later in life, a completely unrelated Link that came way after time (with their homes being a new Hyrule built by Wind and Tetra (lowkey seems more possible)) or if the whole thing was another dream adventure created by fish god. A comment cleared it up. This Link (Spirit) is new and years after Wind but Jojo likely fused the two to bring the number down.
Wind can also, apparently, see dead people. Or he has a sword that allows him to see dead people. Still unclear on that too.
fotd: gay people real
idk i can’t think of one for today, also sorry i keep missing them lmao
fotd: a trans person is still trans, even if they don’t ‘look’ it.
fotd: people on the arospec and acespec are queer.
fotd: the point of identities in the queer community is not to box yourself, but to find something that roughly describes how you feel. it doesn’t have to be all that close to your identity to use it! for example, i say i’m bisexual, when i probably fit more under sexual fluidity - my preference and sexuality tends to change a lot. i still say im bisexual as that feels more right! so don’t feel the need to label yourself as something and then when something about you doesn’t align with that label, don’t freak out. that label just describes common experiences!
fotd: being transgender is not just being male to female or female to male! the trans- prefix is a latin prefix meaning ‘across’, ‘beyond’, or ‘on the other side of’, so being transgender is identifying as anything that doesn’t align with your assigned gender from birth!
if i can remember to i’m gonna start doing daily lgbt-related facts, so here’s my first one (yes this may seem obvious, but this is to help educate people who don’t know this stuff)
fotd: with lgbt related things, the prefixes of things like sexuality/sexual orientation, romantic orientation, and gender tend to be interchangeable. take the bi- prefix for example: bisexual is sexually attracted to people of two genders, biromantic is romantically attracted to people of two genders, and bigender is having two genders that you identify with
I can’t believe the English language doesn’t have a single word with a vowl in it :(
Missed opportunity :((((
Hi! What would a traditional bride from Śląsk wear on her wedding day?
Hello! Answering your question might be a bit complicated, because Śląsk is quite a large area divided into two main subregions [Górny Śląsk - Upper Silesia and Dolny Śląsk - Lower Silesia], each having several types of costumes. However, there are some common elements that I might show you below.
Most of Silesian brides would wear: a jacket/blouse called jakla [often in black colour seen as the most elegant/dignifying - but it was changing with time and fashion trends], a skirt painted or embroidered with floral motifs [common in most of Silesian festive clothing] and a so-called “turkish shawl” [chusta turecka with decorative patterns and fringe] worn over the shoulders. One of characteristic elements is also a wreath/crown made usually from green myrtle - and the flower crowns were reserved for the bridesmaids during the wedding that [in general, flower wreaths would be worn only by unmarried women].
Here’s example from Bytom - clothing called strój rozbarski after Rozbark that is nowadays district of the Bytom city [source]:
Another shot of the Bytom wedding costume [source]:
Here you have a presentation of wedding clothing from Mysłowice city [source]:
Couple from modern-day Katowice, beginning of 20th century [source]:
Two examples from Siemianowice Śląskie, 1930s and beginning of 20th century [source]:
Two photographs from the beginning of 20th century showing couples from Racibórz on their wedding day [sources: 1,2]:
Another example from Racibórz, second picture shows the act of changing the wreath to a married woman’s head covering [source]:
And the same custom of changing the wreath to a headwear on the example of Bytom costume [source]:
In general, the myrtle wreaths were so important, that most of the brides would later keep them in a flat showcase on the wall as a memorial of the wedding [image below is a printscreen from the Silesian Museum’s virtual tour]:
The black jakla jacket might look a bit boring at the first sight [as I’ve heard before] - but it’s only an effect on badly balanced photographs… just look at these details [source]:
This is just a quick reply that focuses on the Upper Silesia region, but I hope it gives you a good picture.
[note to self: I should post more examples from Silesia]
Couldn't pass up that Avatar reference
settle this for me once and for all
is “chai” a TYPE of tea??! bc in Hindi/Urdu, the word chai just means tea
SHE’S HERE!!!
Rosey now has a 2025 reference sheet!
I didn’t change too much about her because I I like her design from last year, I did point out some specific things though + change her eyes to pink because her brown eyes blended too much into her fur.
Rosemary facts!:
Rose has the ability to shapeshift, he can change many parts of herself.
Rose is unlabeled in sexuality and in gender.
has a clone named Mary (represents self hate/coldness)
she’s a species of dragon wolfdogs
is terrible at spelling/grammar
One of my favorite comfort characters!!!
This is truly great... But what is an insect destroyer gun and why don't I have one????
If you’re a straight male, you consider mushrooms to be phallic and yet you eat them… are you really straight?
Also fun fact: mushrooms are really similar to coral, they’re made up of micro organisms, they build structures to throw their offspring, and they’re often times found in large clusters.
Mushrooms aren’t vegan because they’re animals not plants, just like coral.
Atsushi Trivia From the Guidebooks
"What color would you compare yourself to?" "White, because my hair is white and it's also the furthest color from Akutagawa."
Man, I love this kid so much
Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.
You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?
So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?
So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
Thank you everyone for your responses, I'm very flattered! 😊
To celebrate, here's another one of my failed pick-up lines!
How're you today? :) Do you ever think about the similarities between brains and galaxies? When you compare a map of neurons and pictures of galaxies, they can look a lot alike! In addition, the most common type of cell in the brain, which are astrocytes (which are in charge of structural support for neurons and maintaining the ion balances around neurons to keep their signal transduction running smoothly), get their name, literally meaning "star cell", from their star-like shape!
I like to think about those similarities alongside the fact that many elements, including carbon, the building block of organic life, were originally created in supernovas, with the extreme heat fusing three helium atoms together to create the carbon atoms. So, in a way, all life is made up of stardust!
I find it interesting how the brain, something made up of stardust on a molecular level and populated by cells named after stars, arranges itself to look like a galaxy. I have to wonder if the mind, something that can contain entire worlds within it, is trying to arrange itself into a universe all of its own. Anyways, what do you like to do for fun? :D
Just for funsies, here's a side-by-side comparison of a map of neurons from a section of a mouse's brain and a picture of a galaxy!
Me: Ugh, why is dating so difficult? I guess the dating pool where I live is bad :(
Also me, attempting to flirt: How's your day been? :) Did you know that trees pump nutrients into nearby stumps in an effort to keep them alive, resulting in stumps that survive for years entirely on the support of the tree community around them? I like how the trees can sense through their shared root system that their neighbor has been felled, and instead of taking advantage of the new lack of competition, they use their own nutrients to support their now-cut brethren. It's an act of innate, selfless community love from an organism that you'd think is incapable of such a thing, and, in a sense, it's a form of grief, because those surrounding trees won't be able to keep the stump alive forever, and yet they try to keep it alive for as long as possible anyways. It's both touching and a bit disturbing, the sense that trees are trying to hold off the death in their community for as long as possible, almost like they're unable to come to terms with it initially. It seems as though the themes of loss and grief transcend even animal life and have a presence in everything in the world around us. What're your thoughts on that? :D
(As it turns out, turning cool science facts into an analysis of literary themes doesn't make for a good pickup line. Who would've thought?)

Atsumu: "Wait....wait...9:01, Mister No Gaps Kita Shinsuke, is officially late for the first time ever. Alright, let's do this, who's got theories?" Aran: "Uhm...alright...his alarm didn't go off?" Atsumu: "All THREE alarms all with battery backup? C'mon, who wants 'ta take this seriously?" Ginjima: "Oh, maybe he was taken, in his sleep..." Atsumu: "That's what 'm talkin' 'bout. Super dark Ginjima, but way more plausible than Alan's idiotic alarm clock theory." Suna: "I bet he tucked himself into bed too tight and got stuck." Osamu, mocking Atsumu: "Maybe he fell into another dimension where he's more interesting." Kurosu (the coach): "It's 9am, why is no one practicing?" Atsumu: "Mister Perfect Kita, is a few minutes late an' we're all tryin' ta' guess why." Kurosu: "Well I'd like to play. I'd say he's in line at the bank, this is fun." Atsumu: "It is fun, but yer all wrong. He clearly slipped through a subway grate and is having a terrible time." Kita shows up Atsumu: "There he is, Kita Shinsuke, where have ya been? We've been worried sick, do ya care to explain yerself!?" Kita: "I'm just 70 seconds late? It's not a big deal, don't worry about it." Kurosu: "Kita, you will tell us immediately."

This most likely is because he is American-Japanese. There is a spinoff series called Haikyuu-buu which isn't written by Furudate but shows side stories. I think it was published in Jump at least the digital one. There are a few times Aran is shown and it's implied he's American. One of the Miya twins relates an American stereotype with his family and Aran gets angry about it. Also he is shown to own American flag underwear later.
Ya cuz you're actually researching what you want and like. You can be casually searching about Achilles and then you find out he fucking had a transfem lesbian relationship with a nymph.
