Is there any frog species you have a grudge against?

Meet Gephyromantis (Phylacomantis) pseudoasper

Peak calling activity? Between 3 and 4 am 😡

Its preferred perch? The canvas of my tent 🙃

The decibels of its call? Jet-engine levels 🫨

The sound? Fuckin' Star Wars lasers.

Odysseus is the type of guy who oozes rizz and can and will say the sweetest shit to Penelope and revels in her being happy with it ("You're beautiful in red" when she blushes. THAT type of cheesy bullshit. Have you READ the shit he says to her in the Odyssey?) but if she gives it back, he just freezes and Odysseus.exe stops working. Especially since he was the one doing all the flirting in the beginning until she finally chills out and "allows" herself to have a crush.

Penelope: ...You know, I don't really know if your name fits you. Odysseus: Oh? You don't think "Pain in the ass" is a good fit? Penelope: It definitely is...But...I don't know. Maybe it's because when I think of you, I don't think of pain, I think of joy... Yeah, instead of "pain giver", you're a giver of joy."Joy Giver" perhaps? Odysseus:

Penelope: ...Are you okay? Odysseus: *completely red and continues to make a high-pitched squeaking sound like air being let out of a balloon*

He gets more used to it as they get further along in their marriage but in the beginning, this guy was screaming into his pillows and kicking his feet and twirling his hair and being stupid :D

#He's like one of those huge ass frogs that stand up all weird and just screech “REEEE" whenever she gives affection back at first #He's “dead”. His soul has left his body #“Ugh. BE MY WIFE” #like I know I have Odysseus being the “romantic” one currently in my stuff that I've shared but it's just that he was all in from the #beginning but it took her longer to “warm up to it”/believe it. Also with her being SICK in my fic right now. she's not able to do much #but she's just as lovey dovey and cuddly. she's just SICK right now and she was in denial in the beginning. #*kissing his face a bunch while he's sleepy* “You decide to attack me when I'm at my weakest?” *makes a loud “Mwah” sound on his cheek* #I love them soooooo much #odypen #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #my headcanons #Water Wife

Searching for Frogs | Zelda x GN!Reader

Word count: 1.5k~ Warnings: frog described affectionately as round, spherical and chunky (as well as stinky); technically unsafe handling of frogs (but this is a fictional world, so bear with)

AN: because I love my girl and I love frogs! it took a lot of effort for me to refrain from naming this frog Boggy.

☾ ₊ ˚ ✩ ˚ ｡ ☽

the grey heavens opened. at first there were a few heavy droplets, but they quickly lightened into a foggy drizzle. you pulled up your hood, trying to shelter the handwritten journal Zelda had handed to you. but as she pulled ahead, levering her hand to the sky with a glowing smile, you realised why the pages were so crumpled.

"finally! we're in luck, y/n!" she called over the breeze that had picked up slightly.

"we are?"

she nodded vigorously. "we're frog-hunting, remember? and this," she gestured to the arguably grim weather, "is exactly what we want!"

she skipped further ahead, towards the edge of a nearby pond. the surface was dappled with ripples, silvered from mirroring the clouds. you flicked through the journal, landing on a page marked with a woven stripe of leather twine. titled 'tireless frog,' Zelda's calligraphic handwriting swept across the paper. she had clearly detailed its habitat, appearance, diet, and more. her theories lined the edges in a thinner pen, mainly on the species' innate stamina-related properties.

the words sounded all too familiar—they resembled the ones she'd mused to you on the way up the ridge. she'd been so animated then, talking so much that she very nearly forgot to take a breath now and again. it didn't matter if you didn't understand some of the more scientific things she spoke about, you always listened intently.

her excitement was practically tangible now, and you couldn't help but smile as she peered carefully into some bushes. tucking the journal into your pocket, you joined her at the pondside. "they like the rain, huh?"

she hummed, straightening herself as well as her satchel. "there aren't any in the bushes..." her crown was decorated with droplets, loose locks of hair beginning to stick to her forehead. but as she turned to you, her grin couldn't be any bigger. "we're going to find one today, I'm sure of it!"

you tucked her hair behind her ear, before gently pulling the hood of her coat to cover her head. "I know we will."

she rolled her eyes at you playfully, but when you cupped her cheek, she leant into your touch.

"don't want you catching a cold," you said warmly, running the pad of your thumb across her skin. her skin was mottled with rain and pink from the cold, but still smooth to the touch.

it was if your hand was made to hold her. her fingers slipped between your own with ease as she gently eased your palm from her cheek. your hands fit together perfectly.

"I think it's going to take a little more than some rain to stop me." she insisted. "did I tell you about the time when I single-handedly held off a creature of pure malice for 100 years?"

you searched her eyes her carefully. it wasn't often she mentioned her direct involvement with the Calamity. but there seemed to be a smile on her lips, still. "I think I've heard the legend before, maybe," you chuckled.

"do you want to hear it again?"

it took you a moment, but there was no doubt about it: she was teasing.

your thoughts flashed back to the dark nights, the quiet ones, where Zelda had clutched onto your hand so tight she'd turned her knuckles white. the ones where she'd spiralled, spilling blame all over herself.

that Zelda morphed into the one that stood before you. the one with a resilient gaze, her head tipped higher than she'd dared before. she was joking. about it.

your heart swelled, squeezing her fingers. "no need, I understand. rain's got nothing on a hero."

her chuffed expression morphed into a flustered blush which she immediately tried to shield from you. letting go of your hand, she turned back to the pond. "the frogs are this way!"

in two steps she was shin-deep in murky water. with only mild hesitation, you were right behind her. icy cold drenched your feet in an instant, your leather boots well worn and offering little protection against the temperature. Zelda only seemed mindful in her step so not to slip, and remained completely unfazed by the cold.

keeping an eye on her as best you could, you aided her search. "so, how long are we going to hold onto one?"

she tutted, scouring the surface for any sign of movement. "only for a brief moment! now be careful, they're quite skittish..."

"how do we decide which one to take? is there a specific thing you're after...? ooh!" you pointed to a ripple of movement off to the left. "was that one?"

instantly Zelda was making her way across the pond. "we choose one that's easy to catch. one which is a solid specimen, of course."

you nodded knowingly. it was a lie of course. "oh yes, of course... and a good specimen looks like...?"

"a good specimen is... very..." Zelda thought for a moment. "round."

"round?" you echoed, spluttering into laughter. "oh that's brilliant! i love spherical animals! spherical frogs sound—you should've said that sooner!"

Zelda scoffed, about to argue that you should be interested in the frogs regardless of their chunkiness, until she spotted one. the princess' hands could very well have cracked like a whip by how fast they darted into the water. before you could be startled, in her palms was a wiggling frog. and yes, he was positively rotund. "aha!"

you were speechless, simply watching with wide eyes as she began to lead the way out of the pond.

"I know, sir, this is rather sudden. I do apologise for this impromptu excursion! I assure you that you will be back in your pond in no time."

it took you a moment to realise she was talking to the frog.

boots meeting unsubmerged grass once more, you grimaced at the cold sensation seeping into your feet. but before you could think about it any longer, Zelda called for you. "y/n, do you mind getting the pen out of my satchel? my hands are occupied with this little one."

you sprung into action, rummaging through the bag. glancing up, you had meant to catch Zelda's eye to compliment her on her accomplishment. however, you met the frog's eyes instead. they were a bright amber, and ever so slightly turned outwards away from one another. you giggled. it was quite endearing. "he's no longer wriggling!"

Zelda admired the creature's webbed feet with soft delight. "no, he's being very well behaved."

the frog blinked slowly, letting out a single long croak. his throat engorged, giving him the appearance of a balloon. pulling the small wooden cage out of her bag, you pouted. "he's adorable. he needs a name."

"absolutely not!"

"why not?!"

"I should've known you'd get attached." she shook her head, brushing her shoulder into yours. she quickly plopped the frog inside the holding pen and latched the little gate closed. the creature sat still for a moment, before beginning to have a little waddle around. "we're not keeping him."

you pouted even more, gesturing to the frog who appeared to be quite content. "but—!"

"no buts!" Zelda pressed a playful kiss to the tip of your nose. it worked like clockwork, your cheeks heating up as you sighed a bittersweet 'fine.'

her lips did crumple though, feeling a little bad for your poor heart. she glanced at the frog, who croaked pleasantly as if on cue. he was very cute. very relaxed. very round.

"come on, y/n, I need your help recording my findings. I can't feed him while writing things down."

‎

later that day, you'd left your boots and cloaks to dry by the fireplace. and now, on the table not too far from the warmth, was a glass terrarium filled partially with water. Zelda was focused, adding some moss and a small fern.

you meanwhile gazed at your frog, sitting patiently in the wooden cage. "what crimes did you commit, Mr Pickle?" you mused.

Zelda sighed, not looking away from the glass. "none! he's going to get a lovely new home that's going to mimic his natural habitat perfectly! he's going to be well fed and become even more rotund as all frogs should be."

"I know, I know, I'm only joking," you chuckled, cocking your head at Pickle. "all that food and space, all to yourself." you tutted. "what did you do, stinky man? to deserve solitary confinement?"

"don't call him that!" Zelda whined. "he's not stinky! he just has a protective layer of mucus that makes him smell very earthy! it's not his fault!"

you would've responded, doubling down on your affectionate teasing of your new friend. but you were too busy mulling a new thought over in your head.

"Zelda..."

"what?"

"he's going to be all on his own."

for a moment, only the crackling in the hearth could be heard.

"y/n, we are not getting another frog—!"

are you leaving? sorry for asking :/

Not sure yet :') being in this fandom takes such a huge toll on me when shit hits the fan that i cant really justify to myself staying and being invested in the same capacity as I have been. However I love my mutuals and this community too damn much to just up and leave completely 😭 for now im gonna take a break from tumblr and just give it some time. I could never leave tumblr fully though I fear I'm a yapper at heart so maybe I'll just end up posting about whatever. I really don't know ! I'll figure it out !!

#Don't really want to talk abt the whole situation on here I'm not the person for that #But yeah you all will hear from me again god knows I am incapable of shutting the hell up #And I want 2 say i truly consider dtblr to be my favorite fandom I've ever been in despite all the (very low💀) lows #You all are so incredibly funny and creative and kind and I really am so thankful I got to be a part of it all #When I think abt the friends I've made I could rlly just cry I love u all so much !! #Okay now it sounds like I'm writing a fucking eulogy DORRY ITS NOT THAT DEEP IM JUST NOT LOGGING ON THIS WEBSITE FOR A BIT GODDAMN #Like for all I know tomorrow I'll be like damn it wasn't really that serious and reblog dnf sucking cock or whatever #I'm joking^. It would probably be a frog picture #OKAY whatever I'm rambling I'm just gonna go and log out of my account on here CIAO #asks

I was going to make a post talking about how occasionally I can be very normal about life and living; but the reality is that I will NEVER be normal about getting to live on this planet. I can't possibly be normal about my beloved friends! Or about glass frogs and their SEE-THROUGH bodies! I'll never stop being excited about our boundless collective of literature - from etchings on rocks to chaptered novels! I'm not in the slightest bit normal about love and loving and warmth and compassion. Not even a smidgen bit normal about foggy days or peach-coloured sunsets. I can't be normal about a world that is so ridiculously improbable!!

#not particularly bothered if this sounds silly #I'm dying and I don't want to die ! I want to spend every second I can being in love with this stupid silly planet #with its see through frogs and giant centipedes #salamanders who are essentially just another animal that decided to never grow up #I want to watch every leaf fall #I want to see every river melt #I want to love and be loved #we're so improbable it triggers my dissociation but... I love that ridiculousness #so many chances #and here I am #with my friends #loving trees #and existing #despite it all #I'm so happy to be here #I never want to leave #thoughts

I think ritsu kageyama would like infected mushroom

#he would only listen to it when shou was around #bc ritsu by himself doesn't listen to music #he listens to like ambient noise and rain sounds compilations while he studies #shou listens to like exclusively infected mushroom and nightcore #rip shou suzuki you would've loved hatsune miku #anyway I think ritsu would listen to infected mushroom when he's having gay thoughts about shou #shou in ritsus window: ritsu why are you listening to zoan sound it's 4 am we should be catching frogs rn #ritsu: uhhhhh no reason what's music *tosses his walkman out the opposite window* so frogs huh #idk how ritsu would find a cassette for i.m. but his commitment to the aesthetic would cross time-barriers #mp100 #ritshou #incomprehensible post #shou suzuki #ritsu kageyama

i have no idea what happened or how it happened, but i can finally play bar chords!!!!!

i am so fucking excited. i know it's nothing special but this is a big deal for me because my fingers are short and that shit is painful, but i can actually sound the chords!! and i can switch to them with relative ease, too!

i'm going to be an absolute fucking menace now that half of the songs i want to play are actually playable for me, ha. hahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHA.

#and by menace i mean shyly play when nobody else is home because i'll be dead before i sing in front of anybody #with a few notable exceptions (e.g. my drinking buddy. he's already heard me croak like a dying frog so.) #'i have no idea how this happened' bub.. it's probably practice and your fingers getting strong enough to hold that shit down lol #well. i.. didn't practice these chords. ah well. thanks hands. you did me a good turn. #nooo but like. fucking *yay*. i'd given up on bar chords. at least on my behemoth of a guitar that is Sal. #he's almost uncomfortable to hold but that's my baby and i still haven't re-strung him after 10 years... disgraceful #but to be fair those strings have some silly sentimental value. okay. okay. yeah idk i'm going to be weird about this #whenever there was any kind of an F or a B or even a Gm in the chords i would just... hug my ukulele a little tighter and put Sal away #NOW I NO LONGER HAVE TO #i love my ukulele but Sal just sounds nicer. also provides a more comfortable vocal range? that makes no sense #i am only saying this after like. 3 days of being able to play them for some reason. found out just because i was too lazy to switch #when i saw there was an F in the song so i said fuck it we die. #bug.txt

day four of looking outside and thinking “i gotta do the yardwork today as long as the rain holds off a little longer” and the rain immediately not holding off any longer

#do appreciate weather that does a bit #gloam liveblogs spring #the other shoe has dropped #and i wish i was wearing wellies instead #but postponed work aside the sound of rain on a metal roof…lovely #the sound of wee frogs #distant thunder rumbles #it’s alright!!
