Status Update Part II
So I've thought about things while I was away. I've reached a decision about the direction I'd like to take with this blog.
I'll be taking an experimental route by writing poems, short stories and typing out whatever comes to my mind. I'll also be reposting my work on my sister blog, justasimone-stories.
I feel the need to release more creative content and less random memes. I didn't have much time or energy to do this in the earlier days of this blog . However, I believe the necessary changes I need to make will come in tandem with this new year.
If you aren't alright with the new direction of this blog, feel free to unfollow me.
I will not be changing myself for anyone else. I will stay true to myself.

Status update
Hey. I'm not posting because I'm going through a lot at the moment. But if I ever do, expect some changes in my content. I'm losing interest in many things.
I'm hoping to go back to writing or doing something other than memes. I don't know, it's still up in the air. Or this page might become a time capsule frozen in time.
Either way, only the future knows.

This weekend blue our minds! Bioluminescent waves filled with light-producing plankton ignited the surfline through the night all around the Monterey Bay!
youtube
The light is produced by a type of plant-plankton known as dinoflagellates (the specific species involved in this bloom are being identified.)
Bioluminescence is relatively rare on land—fireflies or glow-in-the-dark mushrooms are some common examples—but it’s a staple in the ocean. Our colleagues at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute found that over 75% of species they’ve found in the deep sea in our backyard bioluminesce.
Bioluminescence has many purposes: Anglerfish use it to attract food in their lure, strawberry squid use it to disguise themselves—and many organisms, from worms and shrimp to jellies and dinoflagellates, use it as a defense mechanism!
Tumblr media
When a dinoflagellate is shaken up, a light-emitting chemical reaction inside the plankter produces a blue flash that startles a would-be predator, limiting their effectiveness—imagine a strobe light going off with every bite of a sandwich!
On their own, each dinoflagellate is just one sparkle in the night. But when there is a big bloom of them—sometimes called “red tides”, though they’re not always red and have little to do with the tides—their collective trillions agitated in the waves produce the aquatic fireworks we’ve been experiencing recently.
Tumblr media
When they’re this abundant, the dinoflagellates are able to create somewhat of a burglar alarm with their individual defensive spark. Animals swimming through the soup leave a trail of light breadcrumbs for larger predators to track through living night-vision seas.
Besides their beauty, some dinoflagellate blooms can be noxious to marine life and to people. Lingulodinium polyedra is able to produce toxins that accumulate in shellfish and affect their predators, and other dinoflagellates can produce soap-like substances that can harm seabirds and irritate humans that come in contact with them.
We’re not sure how long the waves will be luminescent—wind and waves and currents could soon dissipate the bloom, returning the beaches to their regular slumber. If you’re looking to see the luminescence, be advised! We’re still in a global pandemic: Respect beach closures, keep your distance from other groups and wear your mask.
Tumblr media
The luminescent waves won’t look as blue as you see in the photos and in videos—as your eyes adjust to the dark, you’ll lose your color vision, so the waves will mostly look bright white. The darker the coast, the more pronounced the luminescence. For camera settings, keep it steady on a tripod, and take a longer exposure: 3 to 30 seconds, and you’ll see the blue!
Thanks everyone for reading this far—and thanks most of all to the dinoflagellates for putting on such a show! You blue us away!

You’re better with the numbers than anyone in there and you know it. Make that pencil move as fast as your mind does, you’ll be fine.

More Time For Writing 
Hello,
I’ve recently thought things over and now that I have more time to dedicate to writing I shall spearhead a new project based on my writing more than making memes. That’s right, this meme infested blog is going to be opening up a new chapter. I’ve made a new blog that I will be using to post more creative writing, vents/journaling and other projects that have yet to be created. I’ve realized that I need to have two separate spaces, one for memes and the other for writing. I feel like this decision will definitely suffice in less clutter on my feed (and for me in general).
My new blog is linked above. Any writing that I’ve already done on this blog (justasimone) will be rebloged to justasimone-stories.

Amen yup I'll be doing this! Once again, I am so ecstatic to see such breathtaking talent. I need to see this because it makes me feel whole. I just need to be connected with my community. Art is a powerful vehicle of hope for me. I absorb it because it reaches my soul.

It's time for me to go.
Carry on. Carry on.
"Nothing really matters."
I've got Bohemian Rhapsody on my mind.
Please don't bother asking if I'll be alright.

Black Lives Matter
I'm tired of seeing such inequality. I'm tired of seeing ignorance, hate and the vile thorns of oppression seeping into the bodies of innocents. I'm sick to my stomach from hearing the cries of my brothers and sisters from the endless pain that has persisted for far too long.
We need change to occur. I can't take it anymore! As a queer person of color and as a sister of many siblings, I pray that the evils of racism and violence be vanquished! I believe in a better world where hate does not destroy us.

This is the most accurate Dabi description I have ever encountered. I can see him making a line of fire on the runway while simultaneously sizzling, taking the word "hot" to a whole new level. 🔥👀
👄 ✋🔥💖
🔥 👠👠 🔥
Dabi Headcanon Parody
Yes, I made this for fun and to laugh.
Don't call him burnt chicken nuggets or he'll flip
Stands like a flamingo when he has to pee and you're taking too long in the bathroom
Likes to stretch his legs
Is that one goth uncle hanging out near
tombstones.
When he blushes, his body heats up and the whole room starts to smell like burnt flesh.
Can't cry since his tearducts are burnt, will make whale noises instead (and smile later)
Smiles all the time: When he's happy, playful, hurt, even when he's bored.
Twisted smile when hurt.
Comes up with annoying nicknames for people, refuses to change them
When he's mad you can hear his brain sizzle (and smell burnt flesh ONCE AGAIN).
Looks like a dead person, smells like a dead person.
Actually has good fashion taste (for real though).
Likes to lick lighters.
Farts fire.
Is one with the stove burners
Spells things backwards
Talks shit everyday.
Watched all of Gossip Girl for no reason.
Collects skeletons just to stare into their eye sockets.
Wickedly talented salsa dancer.
Can dance the macarena in the shower.
Would take Hawks more seriously if his body was an entire cooked chicken.
Dreams of excruciating pain, sadness, and endless fires that haunt him every night.
Hates toasters and sushi. Doesn't know why and refuses to explain.
Troubled Turkey Tomura is one of his closest friends, but he'll never admit it.

Same uncanny, chaotic energy.

Hmmm.....🤔🤔🤔🤔
Fragmented Family?
Why does AFO have a striking resemblance to Himiko and Monoma?
Better yet, why does the dad in the flashback of Toga's backstory look a little too familiar??
See the posture of the father, the hairstyle, the (presumed) suit...their faces...his eyes and her eyes...
Is this the Toga household?? 🤨
Tumblr media
🤔🙃 Or is it just the vamp aesthetic that brings them together?
Look at their smiles and see it for yourselves.
The imitation quirks....the taking of quirks, harnessing of quirks...🔎💭
Do not repost please.
