For the July 5th Wet Beast Wednesday I was going to do a 4th of July special where I would cover the "state" fish of Washington DC, the American shad. Unfortunately, the American shad is not a very interesting fish so instead I'm covering the amphiuma. It still kind of counts because they're endemic to the southeastern United States. Amphiumas are salamanders belonging to the genus of the same name. There are three extant species, the three-toed, two-toed, and one-toed amphiuma. Common nicknames for them include conger eels and Congo snakes, both of which are incorrect as they are not snakes, not eels, and not from the Congo. They are notable for their serpentine appearance and almost entirely aquatic lifestyles.

Amphiumas have a very elongated, eel-like body plan. Their limbs are extremely reduced, but have not been fully lost and species can be identified by the number of toes. They live almost their entire lives underwater, though they have been seen crawling out onto land during wet weather such as rainstorms. As many live in seasonal wetlands or other places that can dry out, they have developed the ability to aestivate, a form of hibernation that happens during the summer and conserves moisture. They also secrete a thick and slippery coating of mucus that serves a number of purposes including protection of the skin, keeping the skin wet, and helping escape from predators. Amphiumas can get very large for salamanders, especially the three-toed and two-toed species, which can reach over a meter in length each. The two-toed amphiuma is the longest salamander in North America, though the hellbender still takes the record for the largest. They are primarily carnivores, feeding on small fish, snakes, turtles, amphibians, the occasional mammal, aquatic invertebrates, and occasionally plants. They seem to have a particular taste for crayfish. Interestingly, they have been seen passing up smaller crayfish to focus on larger ones, indicating they can determine when prey will be too insubstantial to be worth the effort of eating it. They can communicate with each other using clicking sounds that are only made in the presence of others.

They retain a number of juvenile traits including a lateral line. This is an organ system found in fish and amphibians that detects movement of the water and changes in water pressure. Most salamanders only have a lateral line as larvae, but the almost-fully aquatic lifestyle of the amphiuma has led to it retaining the lateral line into adulthood. Unlike some other aquatic salamanders, including the siren, axolotl, and olm, amphiumas do not retain external gills as adults, though they do retain gill arches. While they can respirate through their skin, the amount of oxygen obtained in this manner is not sufficient to keep the amphiuma alive. Amphiumas have extremely large lungs that take up about half of their body length. The group has a unique respiration cycle in which they have to exhale twice to fully empty their lungs and use a combination of mouth and nostril pressurization and smooth muscle groups in the lungs to breathe.

Male amphiumas are usually longer and have larger heads than females. While traits like this often indicate male-to-male competition for mates, this has not been observed in amphiumas. In addition, some populations do not have this type of sexual dimorphism. Females are typically the ones to court males. Pair will coil their bodies around each other until their cloacas line up. The male will then transfer a sperm packet into the female's cloaca. Females will pick a secluded area to lay their eggs, up to 200 at a time, in a long strand. The female will coil around her eggs to protect them until they hatch. Females generally mate every other year.

Amphiumas are not dangerous to humans, though they can deliver a painful bite if disturbed. None of the species are endangered, though the one-toed amphiuma is considered near-threatened and is the leas understood of the species.

lockwood & co is great bc you have a group of teenagers who are all at this point in their lives highly trained individuals and capable and experienced and it shows in how they operate. but they are also teenagers and chaotic and disorganized and struggling with altogether too much pressure on their shoulders and it shows too. they're marching around London acting like they know what they're doing and they do but at the same time they don't, because they hunt ghosts and have for years but they're only sixteen and that is so young. you don't know anything when you're sixteen. and they have the health and safety of a nation resting on their shoulders, and they squabble over who gets the last cookie.

#lockwood & co #lockwood and co #fell in love with the series while the books were still coming out and i am beyond thrilled it got made into a series #but i dont have the books with me right now so i cant do the reread i desperately want to after watching the show #i do love how the adaptation was handled though!! #the things they changed worked better for tv format but its so clear that they were so fond of the source material and i love it #slimy speaks #lockwood and co netflix #lucy carlyle #anthony lockwood #george karim #george i love you more than life itself btw. my boy

I am of the opinion that if you threw The Lobby Boy at the ceiling with enough force he would get stuck up there like one of those classic ooey gooey slimey-rubber toys. Sorry, Hotel's closed. Lobby boy got stuck on the ceiling and we can't get him down. Yeah. Yeah we think this is gonna be a whole week thing, we tried pulling him but he just got weirdly stretchy and it really creeped us out so we're just gonna wait for him to fall instead.

#jay talkin #the hotel podcast #hes a slimy sticky sort of fella to me. a mucous man #son yr the consistency of one of those sticky hands and well we're all plum offput by that #my lobby boy design especially is like this i designed that dude to look like #a particularily slimy cross between frankenstiens monster and some house of wax horror so. slimy gooey #NO proper bones in there hes waxy at firmmest and gelatinous slime at least

Yeah I totally get why the writers reduce Greg into a comic relief this season. It’s not like he’s having a lawsuit with fuckin’ Greenpeace going on, nor his uncle hasn’t just died fresh with his own grandpa been suspiciously silent these past few days, nor his disinheritance been anything short of a joke. And hey, hey, nobody remembers his bed-ridden mother who maxed out his credit card once he managed to get one right? Has a certain Mister Wambsgans been giving him another card? Also does anyone even remember that Kendall committed unintentional homicide and little Greg here has all the crumbs to line a baguette up together? Or are those just too criminally trifling details to put on screen now huh?  

#Succession HBO #Greg Hirsch #tomgreg #yeah I love seeing Shiv winning and Tom being her pretty boy but still where is that slimy cringeball of a Canadian?

Man. May I just say. I love how in this game it’s like “you have four suitors and three of them are the most repulsive men on the planet then you have this really energetic guy who wants you to step on him if he does anything bad BUT he’s trying his best”.

Reader that bites their S/O

Fandom: Stardew Valley

Parings: GN! Reader x Sebastian, GN! Reader x Shane, GN! Reader x Sam, GN! Reader x Haley 

TW: A LOT of Biting, Suggestive Content

—-------------—-------------—-------------—-------

-Sebastian

He's the type who probably started biting you first

Just so he can hear you yelp in surprise >:D

He'd come up behind you in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around your waist before leaving a big bite mark on your shoulder before walking away in such a self satisfied way

When you're in bed together cuddling He'd place soft bites near your collarbone, whispering an 'I love you' after each one 

He tries to bite you anytime and anywhere he can

Definitely surprising anyone that witnesses it 

One time you visited Robin with Sebastian and he just- he just bit your shoulder right in front of his mom

She was shocked at it and began asking if you were okay before scolding Sebastian 

Let's just say he never bites you around her now

When you begin to bite back imagine his surprise

I feel like part of him would enjoy when you bite back so after you bit him he tries doing it more

-Shane

You always enjoyed biting others

There was something oddly satisfying about laying your claim on another and seeing them yelp in surprise or disgust

Shane didn't quite know this until the two of you got married

Seeing how you could see him all day if you wanted you ended up biting him A LOT

To him it felt like you had created a schedule for when you bit him 

You'd come home from whatever you were working on, bite him and maybe leave a kiss, then go back to work

He would always shoo you away when you bit him 

Not necessarily finding it gross but kind of embarrassing 

Despite that though he enjoys looking at the bite marks you leave upon him 

-Sam 

He adores you and anything you give him 

Even if what you give him a giant, wet, bite mark

Ew

Everytime you come up to him with your arms getting ready to encase his body he'll open up his arms first 

He always thinks you just want to cuddle when this happens, YOU DO NOT WANT TO CUDDLE

Instead you sit on his lap, nuzzling you face into his neck while he rests his chin on the top of your head

And then you attack

You lick at the tender of his neck causing him to let out a slight gasp 

Sinking your teeth in the place you just licked

He lets out a loud yelp and you can't help but giggle while observing the mark you left behind 

Then, as quickly as you came you leave. He still sits on the couch of your living room in shock 

-Haley

She doesn't really love when you bite her because you always leave your bites in the most revealing places!

She wants to wear a spaghetti strap dress? Well now she can't because you left all these bite marks on her shoulders!!!

Whenever you come and bite her she'll quickly try and wriggle out of your grip 

"Stop it! Everyone can see these, you know!" She yells while wriggling away from you. "That's the point," you reply with an eye roll. 

Dqespite her protests the both of you know that she actually enjoys them. She especially likes seeing them on her body in the mirror. 

Eventually she gets you to start leaving them in places no one can see like her inner thigh, her chest, or back.

Once you start leaving them in less revealing places she will willingly let you bite her when you want 

I'm still writing for Obey Me but I also thought it'd be cool to try writing for some other Fandoms so I hope you still enjoyed this :D
