Ribbon Seal (Histriophoca fasciata)

Family: Seal Family (Phocidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Found in arctic regions of the northern Atlantic Ocean, the Ribbon Seal can be immediately distinguished from all other seals thanks to the distinctive banded fur of adults (typically black-and-white in males, while females can be black-and-white or brown-and-white), the purpose of which is something of a mystery (it has been suggested to be a form of camouflage, but how such a striking pattern would be any more effective as camouflage than the countershading seen in many other marine mammals is unclear.) Ribbon Seals spend the majority of their lives in the open ocean where they live solitary lives and feed on squids, octopuses and bony fishes such as cods, pollocks and eelpouts. During the later winter and early spring, however, large numbers of Ribbon Seals haul themselves onto masses of sea ice that are disconnected from the mainland to mate, give birth and undergo seasonal molts. During the mating season males will court females by producing grunts and roars using an inflatable sac in their throat (with each male courting and mating with several females), and after mating females are capable of delayed implantation (meaning that they can delay the development of fertilized ova until the ideal conditions to give birth in are met, in this case when sea ice is at its most abundant, to allow an embryo to develop.) After a gestation period of around 10-11 months a female Ribbon Seal will give birth to a single pup which is born with soft, fluffy white fur that (though suitable for providing camouflage and insulation) is not water tight, forcing them to remain on the ice they were born on until their adult coat develops (at which point their mother will guide them into the ocean and teach them how to hunt.)

if i had a nickel for every time 3 ex-buzzfeed members that started their own youtube channel continuing what they did back there on a couch after a massive controversy of their own doing, i would have 2 nickels! which isn't a lot but. it's weird that it happened twice

#hmmm #im glad they came back on their decision. that does show that they somewhat care #but i don't know if they would be making this change without a big dog like charlie sinking his teeth into it and ripping it to shreds yknow #charlie decimated them and i just don't know if they would've given the same response if he hadn't #oh well #it's going to take time for them to repair the trust #granted it'll never return back to what it was but i genuinely DESPERATELY hope they keep this experience with them for their entire careers #watcher #sjonnie.text

Just a heads up, but if you want some good aroa e rep it's popular but alastor in hazbin is explicitly aroace and that facet of his character is handled really well

Haha yeah I know, it's been kinda hard NOT to hear about it these days 🙈 Arguably I have yet to check out the show but yeah...

(...Is he also aro though? I HAVE heard about that one joke about him being ace but aro's actually the first time I hear about it... Then again I maybe just jumped to the conclusion that it wouldn't come up because from what I understand of his personality he's kind of a horrible person people probably shouldn't want to be romantically involved with for their own sake...? ...Idk that's just all I can observe with my non-knowledge of the show though so please do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong 🙈)

PS: With that said, explicit ace rep is explicit ace rep, it's rare enough as it is, and in a show with that much reach, I appreciate it èwé

#anon #hazbin hotel #alastor #rep recommendations #...tho forgot to add but i'm arguably very terrified of how the fandom actually treats him #and the likely loads of aroace erasure since he seems to be a popular character #idk maybe this time it'll be different? but that's typically what happens so hmmm #not holding my breath #but welp a medium ain't responsible for its fans

I decided to draw out the 3 Twins AU designs, and then I thought: You know this might actually be a good time to make references for the Twins Anyway so let's just go ham on it."

I love their stupid tastes in underwear. Fucking nerds.

(For Kurochi, I vaguely remember L saying he had mustache underwear. Idr the pattern, but I liked the one I found so xD)

But yeah--Kokichi, unlike Kurochi, has scars underneath all of this clothes, all of them from Kenzo and his abuse. What are the scars exactly from? Who knows, but Kokichi has definitely seen some cigars being put out on him. Those are mostly on his back/shoulders though.

Kurochi doesn't have any scars from Kenzo... at least, not physical ones.

Also side note--Kokichi's hand is different because he's gonna have the Boom Stick. If you know what the Boom Stick is I applaud you because it's been years.

Anyway enjoy--or suffer, and beat Kenzo up with a bat.

#Kokichi Ouma #Kurochi Ouma #Danganronpa V3 #DRv3 #Fun fact: used the specific 3D doll model with their hair! I think it'll help me keep their hair consistent in drawings #BTW I know Kurochi's hair looks a bit lighter because I accidentally added a little too much purple but like #just know that I HC then to have the same kind of hair #slate-colored hair that shines purple #AKA the idea is the purple parts are supposed to be the thinnest points of their hair #and thusly: purple #.... wait is this nsft because of undies #hmmm

Talking about kagero mansion

I remember I had a idea of a Kirby being dragged into a trap by a original villain which used a artifact (implied to have been given to him by necrodeus) to shut the puffball’s mouth, so Kirby has to destroy the artifact and escape the mansion which is a floating piece of debris on a deserted spooky planetoid, but since is a Kirby game he’ll be helped by a ghost girl who is cursed to stay on the mansion (she’ll give tips about the puzzles)

The game would have been purely about puzzles, some mini games and chases with there only being 4 kinds of enemies and 3 bosses

The walking alarms:tamed beasts which will reveal Kirby’s location if they see them, if Kirby can take out the enemy or scape before the alarm starts then the main villain will appear and chase Kirby

Flying alarms:same has the walking but they can fly

Dirt monsters:they will only walk side to side and can only damage kirby on contact, they are has dangerous has a waddle dee but without their ability’s or the ability to regain health then Kirby would be in serious danger. You can use candles and other items to hit them which destroys them pretty quickly

Bombing skulls:when they notice Kirby they will fly towards their position not stopping till they reach a wall or similar causing them to explode, they are a pretty weak hazard but they are there to be a more active threat to Kirby

The villain (I don’t wanna give he’s name since I thought about this game has a sequel to another game in which this villain appears so If you want to know he’s name then I should tell you about that other game and this ask is getting too long):being able to run on the ceiling, smash walls and jump very high, it will chase Kirby with a axe destroying everything in its path. It’ll won’t insta kill Kirby but it does a great amount of damage

The bosses are

Unagiza:a giant monstruos Eel known has the most dangerous creature of the entire planet for its extremely strong skin which will chase down Kirby in a underwater level, kirby then has to make the Eel destroy some pillars in a circle arena like the ones on robobot to make the ceiling fall on a pool the eel is coming out of making the ceiling to crushing the eel although it survives but kirby run away before it woke up

Kagero-san:the owner of the mansion which is attacking Kirby because the villain has been talking how he would free him of he’s curse chaining him with the mansion if he kills kirby, kirby has to use a candle to light up some ropes to burn the painting Kagero uses has a avatar meanwhile Kirby Dodges flying furniture Kagero throws at Kirby, every time you burn the painting it causes the floor to fall forcing some parkour, and some dirt monsters will start to appear. Once it burns the mansion will start to burn as well and it will be a clock which every time it reaches Zero the main villain will appear

The villain:once you reach the artifact which ends up being a clock the first phase is pure survival dodging he’s axe,arrows and the alarms he summons which now attack, the second the ghost girl will give Kirby items and plataforms to have more space to escape, in the third face she destroys the clock allowing Kirby to absorb enemies she summons (is basically that one phase of Magolor of Kirby using súper copy ability’s) after the villain is defeated he’s absorbed by one of the portals of the ghost girl, the mansion crumbles down but kirby survives and sees how the mansion rebuilds itself

Through the game there’s several secret rooms with lore talking about “a man making a deal with a sinister undead in exchange of inmortality, he tries to trick the skeleton so he wouldn’t have to make he’s part of the deal but the man’s spirit got chained to the house by the horned skull which also took all the light of the world and unleashed a rampaging beast on the flooded tombs under the mansion which was the only part which wasn’t cursed,this curse prevented anyone without he’s permit to get inside the mansion but even then the beast will attack anyone it finds, accidentally the skeleton also cursed the man’s daughter so out of pity he told her how only someone with a pure soul will be able to free her

Eventually both man and daughter forget who they are, the man only remembers he’s wish to be free while the daughter only keeps her compassion”

In this same secret areas there’s some soul pieces which if you collect they’ll give you a secret ending with the ghost girl being freed of her curse and being Able to leave the mansion

Sorry if I’m annoying but I just wanted to share my brain rot of a kirby horror game

NAH DW MAN THIS IS actually pretty spot on 😳 it's got enough kirby vibes to potentially be a kirby game!

Also the element levels still being kept despite it taking place in a mansion.....really brings out that SUPERNATURAL vibe.

The ending though...MAN FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS REALLY HAVE IT TOUGH IN THE KIRBY UNIVERSE :')

#man if i had a nickle for everytime a kirby game had a flying girl to help him out #i'd have 2 nickles #with this it'll be 3! #the bosses will definitely have undertale like attacks since it's an rpg #DANMAKU GRAAAIIZZUUUU #oh damn his rlly be cool tho! #kageru-san oh kageru san #dabbling in the arts of dark #bruh the necrodeus cameo is so fun #wonder why he would have such an artifact tho? #hmmm 🤔 #a barely coherent post bc im so used to commenting in the tags that i forgot this was an actual post LOL

It’s happening again.

Of course, most of them knew this would happen again. Some looked forward to it. Some tried to forget it. Some were afraid of truly losing something this time, of somehow, not being able to get back the people they lost, fought against, hated, loved, killed.

It never mattered in the end. They were scars, and they were there, and occasionally it’d come up between the people who were in those games, but it doesn’t tend to be a big deal. Sometimes, one of them will have a nightmare about killing a friend, blood running down their hands, weapon thrown haphazardly to the ground after the moment of panic has passed. Sometimes, one of them will have a nightmare about cacti and bloody fists. Sometimes, one of them will have a dream about ice, snow and a home, and that dream will turn into a fence that seems so much taller than it is and broken hearts. Sometimes, one of them will have a nightmare about  clocks and ticking time, a betrayal that, much later, in an unrelated moment, becomes trust and a bond they cannot break.

None of them are having those nightmares now.

Those who look around notice the lack of a man who was once a king, then a loyal knight, and then a heartbroken wolf.

Most of them do not look around. One of them’s heart aches. Most of them simply run.

Of course, it’s fun. It’s always been fun, at least in the beginning. It’s fun until it isn’t. It’s fun until you begin to forget who you were before this place and your memories begin to fade away.

It’s fun, when you wake up on your bed in another server, after thinking your life was over, that that was it, gasping for air or laughing hysterically or in an eerie silence, remembering just what all that has happened was.

This world has a border.

Every one of these games does. Forces them to fight, one of them, the one who occasionally has more than two eyes, explained once. It’s more interesting and fun like this, he had said.

Normal worlds have borders, too. It’s just that those aren’t truly there; they create them in their minds, to limit, subconsciously, how far from what they took so long to build they can go. Those borders are surpassable, and it’s even fun to explore beyond them, although they don’t realize there was ever a border in the first place.

This border is blue and transparent and doesn’t stop moving.

There is a village right outside the border.

There had been a village in this game, once, in the first time. It had been a useful resource, although sometimes one may think of a burning tree or a creeper that exploded a little too close when looking at a village.

They try to reach the village. It’s exciting, with its promise of resources and trades and people who aren’t trying to kill them. Of course, villagers aren’t like players, but it’s still something nice, on top of being useful for trades.

There are houses in the village, with happy people living their lives and worrying about no timer ticking in the corner of their vision or boogeyman curses. They have roofs over their heads and items in their chests, there’s people they know won’t betray them for a tainted win of a twisted game that they’ll forget they agreed to come to soon.

The players approach the village, with all its promises and whispers. Subconciously, some of them want to be under a stable roof. Consciously, some of them want to loot the place. Consciously, some of them want to kill its residents. Subconsciously, some of them are jealous they won’t die in the hands of who they love.

There is a barrier in front of the village.

They try boats, they try jumping through it, but it doesn’t work. They look at the wheat and the houses and the farm. The barrier moves in front of them.

They turn around, some quietly, some grumbling about lost resources, some complaining that it’s unfair, some pretending they don’t care.

They cannot have the village.

that moment when you’ve so many rewrite/canon divergence au ideas for various td seasons bc each season in that damn show had its cons as well as pros, and it’ll be fun to pick out the characterizations and the ‘what ifs’

#except for roti for some reason i cant think of a rewrite idea for that one rn #maybe bc i havent reached it in my rewatching spree #but no i've got my dashawan au pi rewrite that follows what happened if dave and shawn had kissed instead of the skave near kiss in ep4 #(im so excited for that one ngl bc we get dashawn plus the sky and dave brotp which is exactly how i prefer sky and dave) #plus dave characterization other than being a simp smh (the man deserves at least that) #i can ramble abt this one for ages ill prob make a separate post for it hmmm #anyway moving on #tdi potential rewrite (or tda) involving duntrent and gwourtney after a gwent and duncney breakup (no love triangle!!) #all stars rewrite with noah (and several others) joining the cast plus potential alenoah?? #(it'll be interesting to picture how noah and alejandro interact after noah's wt elimination lmao) #speaking of #currently rewatching wt and thinking of an alenoah au rewrite if heather actually did get eliminated in ep8 and ep13 was a fake elimination #or smth #idk yet i just got the idea ahaha #so yeah. a potential rewrite idea for each one except rr and roti #though im only working on pi's au rewrite rn #and i like the wt alenoah au but slipper slopes has given me high standards for wt aus lmaooo but i def wanna at least plan it out #i can ramble abt all these stg but i shall not for the sake of y'alls sanity lmao (or what's left of it fhjdkfh /j) #total drama #tdi #tda #tdas #tdroti #tdwt #tdpi #noahtally-famous #kit speaks #kit stuff #if i see hate abt anything in here i will not hesitate to smack a bitch (virtually) btw so dont even #(i've seen how nasty this fandom can get and lemme tell you it took a lot in me to decide to post this)

[marley-manson]

I think writing fic is mostly making stuff up, even the most canon compliant fic is technically made up and therefore not canon in the traditional sense. And with that logic all fic is made up, and I release you to go wild in your fanfic writing dreams.

Yeah like I definitely agree, it's all just a case of degrees of separation from canon - unless you're writing for the show you're not writing truly canon fic, and even some of the show writers kinda fail at canon compliance lmao.

But tbf different people have different limits for how far they'll go and in what circumstances, and we all have our different preferences in terms of canon compliance (and our own different interpretations of canon to comply to, for that matter. Like straight Hawkeye is technically more canon compliant in terms of creator intent lol but you won't catch me reading anything where Hawkeye is straight.)

So yeah, everyone should definitely write whatever fic they want regardless of canon! But I do have my own personal limits in terms of what lines I want to cross, what's more flexible vs what I can't change without losing interest, even if it's in service to an otherwise interesting scenario.

Like to put my preferences another way, I would be more inclined to write magical AU dubcon featuring a love potion or smthn as a way to facilitate trainwreck Hawk/BJ/Peg, than I would, say, write Hawkeye agreeing to that triad because he's naive enough to think it's actually a good idea, or he loves BJ so much that he'll accept an unbalanced relationship, or he doesn't think he deserves better, etc. That's not My Hawkeye.

(Actually tbf the one non-AU way I think it could work is leaning into Hawkeye quitting his career post-canon in passive giving-up-on-everything depression, maybe his dad dying to make it even worse, and BJ innocently taking advantage, believing he's taking care of him and helping Hawkeye recover when really he's just emotionally manipulating him into becoming his second wife and giving up on his career forever.)

(Or maybe if Hawkeye lost his license...? Alcoholism, or being outed could do it easily. I feel like that could destroy him enough that he'd just cling to anything anyone offered. At least for a while.)

#the problem there however is that passive depressed hawkeye sounds boring as hell to write lol #also a little too dark at least for this particular scenario. i want dumb relationship mistakes that blow up more than misery ever after #text post #marley on mash #like what i really want is bj proposing the triad thing and hawk and peg both being on board and bj being unable to handle it #and i just don't see hawkeye not going in knowing it'll either be a bj has 2 faithful wives situation which i don't think he'd be ok with #or bj is lying about being able to handle hawkeye and peg either fucking each other or others on the side #unfortunately hawkeye is pretty emotionally intelligent #he's optimistic but not blind. i mean mmmmmmaybe bj just makes a very convincing case? maybe? hmmm #maybe that AND his dad just died or he broke up with someone so he wants to make a change and start fresh... #lmao ty for bringing this up again anon and making me think more about it #at the very least i now have more weird beejhawk ideas
