#Can you tell?

[deepseaspriteblog]

What's this? A rare wednesday surprise adopt! I've been unusually productive this week and I have a lot of inspiration I want to get to before it fizzles out, so here's an extra adopt this week!

I saw a tweet like two days ago about a black man being casted in a Japanese stage play for an anime and someone said that they gave his locs look like a bishie boy haircut, and I thought that was really cute so I wanted to make something based on that- so here's a very princely, bishonen young man, complete with a rose and bishie sparkles! sidenote: one of these days I'll successfully make a trickster design that doesn't have the color pink... but that day is not today.

Oh yeah, I couldn't find the tweet that inspired me anymore but I DID find a reply by the actual actor! link if you wanna see it.

Sorry for the extra preamble today. As always, the special adopts are a more exensive but comes with more sprites, and if you're interested, you can find him in my ko-fi in the link below!

Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

I saw a post abt this the other day but it's been eating me up inside so I gotta get it in writing. Plus it was in meme format when I saw it so I wanna make sure the gravity of this particular thing is out there somewhere bc I said so.

Annabeth was under the impression for most of her life that she had to earn love and respect from those around her. First from her father after he remarried, and she had to earn his attention back from his wife and kids. Then once she got to camp, she had to earn the admiration of the other campers, her siblings, Chiron and Mr. D, and basically everyone but Luke (because she earned his and Thalia's respect by simply surviving so long after running away). AND THEN she had to earn Athena's respect. That was the ultimate reward in her opinion, because that's kinda what I imagine they teach at camp: "You have to earn the respect of the gods to get them to look at you, let alone respect or, heaven forbid, love you." It's fucked up but its true. It's one of the first things Luke tells Percy upon his arrival. It's how you get claimed, earn a quest, and get all these things that Camp deems so important.

And then Annabeth meets Percy.

Percy, who, despite having his own traumas and tough road to hoe, still knows the feeling of an unconditionally loving home and person. He never had to earn Sally's love. She loved him despite him getting kicked out of school every year, despite him being stubborn and kinda an ass sometimes. She loved him despite his own view of himself. She shoved all that aside and loved her son because THATS HOW PARENTING WORKS.

And then you shove these two little kids together who've had wildly different backgrounds and I bet you'd get some interesting conversations (although they aren't shown a lot in the book or the show). Like Annabeth having to explain all the shit she's done to get her mother's attention and Percy being like "well damn."

And then he starts to notice that she applies this to other relationships too. She starts doing certain things that Percy notices as trying to gain his respect and it gets worse as they get closer and he finally has to be like "hey, you know I like you, right? like you don't have to prove yourself to me" and Annabeth has whiplash because she's never not had to earn love.

It just makes their relationship so much better to me.

Soap MacTavish.

Coming into the living room freshly showered, still glistening in nothing but those sexy grey sweatpants hanging so perfectly on his slutty waist.

Walking like a boss straight to the freezer to grab a carton of ice cream, muttering he got 'too hot n'th shower, need to cool off' while he shovels a spoonful into his mouth.

And you just sit on your couch. Dumbfounded.

Wondering how the fuck the majestic masterpiece that is John 'Soap' MacTavish somehow ended up in your life, half naked and eating ice cream straight from the carton in your kitchen like the Scottish king he knows he is.

Aiden: I’m bored, let’s drink mouthwash.

Tyler: what do you have planned for the future?

Ashlyn: lunch.

Tyler: I meant long term.

Ashlyn: dinner.

Aiden: which is correct, seven and five IS thirteen or seven and five ARE thirteen?

Logan: neither, because it’s twelve.

Tyler: in your opinion, what’s the height of stupidity?

Ashlyn, turning to Aiden: how tall are you?

Aiden: if Ben and I were drowning, who’d you save?

Ashlyn: you two can’t swim?

Aiden: it’s a hypothetical question, Ash! Who would you save?

Ashlyn: my time and effort.

Taylor: you have to apologise, Tyler!

Tyler: fine.

Tyler: ‘unfuck you’ or whatever.

"if rescuing you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner" is the sapphic way to say "I love you"

I'm not saying Jason would ever be a Booktuber.

But I'd definitely watch the absolute shit out of his videos.
