This just in, starfish are a radially symmetrical head with a stomach.
God I love echinoderms
If you told someone that there’s an entire group of animals that develop butt first as embryos are born bilateral but then grow a radially symmetrical head like a cancer in their side that then bursts out and lives as a completely separate organism from its birth form and moves via hydraulic systems…
They wouldn’t believe you. Yet one of the most beloved cartoon characters is one of them.

it takes ghost and soap a good few tries before settling on a sleeping position comfortable for them both when sharing a bed.
being soldiers, they’d never been afraid of getting close—of sleeping pressed against one another, of huddling for warmth, of minimizing occupied space. but that being said, the first time they sleep in a proper bed together, they’re both stiff.
it’s too… casual. too calm. there isn’t a reason for them to be close and yet they both itch to be.
they start back-to-back. then separate again. then attempt any possible combination of spooning. then ghost complains because he’s cold and the blanket is too thin but soap runs hot so he can’t have anything too thick. then they say fuck it and tangle themselves together, too the point where it’d be difficult to figure our where one ends and the other begins. that almost works.
finally, miraculously, the solution is found one morning after they agreed that it had been one of the best sleeps of their lives—soap draped completely over ghost like a weighted blanket, providing both heat and comfort to ghost while avoiding overheating all together.
it’s a little unconventional, but it works. neither ghost nor soap had ever been aware that sleep could be so peaceful.

🍪 Feeling hungry? Well, despite its name, the chocolate chip sea star (Protoreaster nodosus) probably wouldn’t taste very good. To start, those “chips” aren't chocolate at all… they’re tubercles, or knobs, and they’re unique to each sea star. No two individuals have the same arrangement of tubercles!
Like many other sea stars, this marine invertebrate eats by pushing its stomach out of its mouth, covering its meal, and then digesting it externally. This critter inhabits the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, where it might be spotted around coral reefs or seagrass beds. It can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) across.
