Pink crab spider, Thomisus onustus, Thomisidae
Despite the common name, this species exhibits a wide range of coloration including pink, white, yellow, green, brown, or a combination of any of those.

What the hell is going on; 8-9th September 2022 edition
- Combination of Tumblr and Twitter polls announce Sans (a character from the games Undertale and Deltarune) the winner of the Tumblr Sexyman poll between him and Reigen, a character from the anime “Mob Psycho 100”. #Sanssweep
- Toby Fox, creator of Undertale and Deltarune wrote a fan fiction about Sans victory over Reigen, making Reigen cannon in the Undertale/Deltarun universe.
- Pokemon Company announced a new upcoming Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet “Klawf”.
- Queen Elizebeth of UK dies at age 96.
- The Crab rave meme is often used as celebration, with Tumblr celebrating the Queen’s death and Klawf getting wrapped up in the wave of crave rave memes.
- The beloved meme cat Thurston Waffles passed away :(
- “Destiel” the pairing of Dean and Castiel from the TV show “Supernatural”. When this ship was announced as cannon, Vladimir Putin resigned as President of Russia. Many are drawing comparisons between a monumental Tumblr event and the removal of a country’s head from power as the wheels of history repeating the motion.
note that Destiel and Putin resigning as PRESIDENT of Russia happened in November 2020 - Putin is still currently Prime Minister of Russia
- September 8th is Star Trek Day, in which a character called Data references the “Irish Reunification of 2024″. Many see the Queen’s death as phase 1 of this.
- It is US Senator Bernie Sander’s 81st birthday. Happy Birthday Bernie!
- Splatoon 3, a game featuring intelligent aquatic wildlife having built a society, releases on September 9th
- Youtube star Trisha Payta gives birth 3 minutes after the Queen dies.
- A Pine Marten, a small stout, has been sighted in London for the first time in 100 years
- Kiwi Farms, a social media site for extremists, “worst place on the internet”, has shut down
Im sorry but I don't have links to all of these, this is just a summary of what is going on
I’m glad that folks ARE questioning and fact checking this summary, it’s good to fact check anything these days and that has prompted me to clarify some parts of the post while others are updating the information. There’s a lot going on in the world right now and to view it solely through tumblr lenses means y’ won’t get the whole story. I hope this post, while not 100% correct, updates and explain some parts of current events to lead them into doing their own independent investigation into the full story.
EDIT 2023: happy 1 year anniversary to this post. What a lot has happened in one year.

I love how, whenever anyone tries to categorize the Last 4 Jedi, it is something like this; child soldier and Padawan of the chosen one, the guy who blew up the death star and son of the chosen one, that one guy(Cal), and that other guy(Ezra).
i mean in ezra's defence he had been a missing person for like, 10-12 years

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how or why is Cyn with the ladies group? I'm genuinely curious of the circumstances. If you're not ready to answer that quite yet I have a simple question, what do all the ladies like to do as hobbies?
Uzi was fully aware of who she was rebuilding, V of course tried to attack cyn the moment they saw her.
but considering how they found her? Uzi had to sympathize with her situation, After all she’s been in a similar position.

Any time the #wanted dead or a crab tag gains another member my heart grows another size larger 😍🥰🦀
Wonderful! Soon the crab inside it will be big enough to hatch.

like, unironically, my favorite thing about modern au blackbonnet fics is how so many authors have very obviously taken their niche interest and molded it to fit the original ed/stede narrative, so you just have a million fics with summaries that are like, "stede is an unhinged newly divorced homosexual who has just found his passion for hermit crabs. ed, The Best Hermit Crab Breeder, is bored of how monotonous the hermit crab community has become. but MAYBE this bizarre unhinged gay can remind ed why he loved hermit crabs in the first place, and MAYBE ed can bring stede *dun dun* out of his shell 😉😉😉"
anyway i'm not joking, i love it, stories are always so much better when you can tell the author is having a good time. keep writing niche-interest!blackbonnet fics, and i will continue to devour them like a woman starved
