#tumbleweed the pom

This is how we roll 🤸

This deep-sea denizen isn’t your average anemone. Unlike its shallow-water cousins, the pom-pom anemone (Liponema brevicorne) doesn’t like to stay attached to rocks or other hard surfaces. In fact, it can roll itself up into a ball and cruise the currents along the seafloor like a tentacled tumbleweed. Talk about ‘rolling in the deep’!

The weird and wonderful pom-pom anemone rolls across the deep seafloor.

Pom-pom anemones, Liponema brevicorne, are amazing and adaptable invertebrates. This anemone resembles an unusual tentacle-covered dome unlike the more common stalked column body associated with many other anemones. Even within the unique body shape, there is variability. Sometimes it is observed in a low, deflated position, while other times it is puffy with tentacles extended.

While other species of anemones stay attached in one place, pom-pom anemones can be mobile. Using their muscles, they can contort their body into a barrel-like shape. They roll across the seafloor like a tumbleweed in the desert, propelled by ocean currents. It is speculated that this behavior allows them to scavenge and seek out more nutritious habitats in search of plankton and small crustaceans.

Liponema may be an important link for other animals, both in terms of habitat and as a food source. Shrimp, amphipods, and even fish have been observed using these anemones as shelter among the relatively flat, muddy seafloor. MBARI researchers have also found that pom-pom anemones may be an important source of food animals such as sea spiders, or pycnogonids. The sea spiders appear to suck material from the anemone's tentacles. Luckily for pom-pom anemones, this does not appear to harm them. In fact, pom-pom anemones can shed tentacles, giving spiders an on the go treat.

In the desolate sprawl of Midland, Nebraska, where tumbleweeds whisper secrets and Friday night lights cast sickly shadows, a horror unlike any other unfolds. Dr. Von Schlockenberg, a man pickled in moonshine and forbidden knowledge, cackles like a deranged hyena from his windmill throne. He has tapped into something ancient, something hungry, and tonight, the gateway beneath the bleachers will crack open.

From the fissure slither the Viking Vixen Zombie Cheerleaders from Venus. Forget bouncy pom-poms and saccharine smiles – these space babes sport glowing green claws and chainmail bikinis stained crimson with the blood of forgotten galaxies. Their war cries, an unholy chorus of cheerleader chants and alien shrieks, echo across the town, a prelude to the carnage to come.

Amidst the screams, unlikely heroes emerge. Cherry Bomb, a warrior princess with eyes that could curdle milk, rallies the surviving cheerleaders. Their routines, fueled by a forgotten magic awakened by the gateway, become ballets of violence. Think synchronized axe-wielding instead of synchronized swimming – each movement a bloody poem against the neon invasion.

Beefcake, the quarterback with charm that could sweet-talk a rattlesnake, discovers the Vixens' weakness – an insatiable craving for radioactive popcorn, courtesy of Von Schlockenberg's twisted culinary concoction. Imagine popcorn kernels laced with Chernobyl dust, exploding in showers of neon and gore – a nightmare buffet even the most hardened splatterpunk fan could appreciate.

The battle spills across town. Tractors roar like metallic beasts, commandeered by undead vixens, leaving trails of glowing viscera in their wake. Von Schlockenberg, perched atop his windmill like a deranged conductor, orchestrates the chaos with manic glee. But even space vixens and radioactive cravings have their limits.

Atop the water tower, bathed in the cold neon glow of the night, Cherry Bomb and Beefcake hatch a desperate plan. Their final routine, a primal dance of pom-poms and righteous fury, becomes a sonic weapon against the portal. The music, a cacophony of screams and defiance, resonates with the gateway, tearing it open wider.

But this time, instead of Vixens, a tide of pure cosmic energy pours forth, a swirling vortex of teeth and tentacles hungry for vengeance. Midland is gone. In its place, a pulsating maw of flesh and neon, a monument to the folly of messing with intergalactic cheerleaders. Cherry Bomb, Beefcake, and even the bewildered Dr. Von Schlockenberg stand on the precipice of oblivion, their screams swallowed by the cosmic horror they unwittingly unleashed.

No heroes, no redemption, just the cold comfort of oblivion in the face of an uncaring universe. This wasn't your typical Friday night in Midland. This was a schlocky spectacle fueled by B-movie flair, a neon-drenched apocalypse where heroes rise from the ashes of popcorn-fueled carnage, their final stand a desperate dance against the cosmic unknown. So grab your strongest drink, settle in, and prepare for a gut-wrenching, hilarious journey into the dark heart of "Attack of the Viking Vixen Zombie Cheerleaders from Venus," a film that'll leave you breathless, terrified, and craving a bucket of radioactive popcorn (but seriously, don't eat the radioactive popcorn).

What’s a good way to start talking to you if people are scared to?| Does knowing the other mun make writing threads easier or harder?

Poms Are Anxious Dogs

What’s a good way to start talking to you if people are scared to?

Honestly? Send me a picture of a fluffy dog. XD I’m about as harmless as they come, so I don’t mind if someone is stuttering and awkward? Heck man I do it too - First meetings are terrifying! So do something like this - Send a meme when one’s up. Send me a picture of a pomeranian being silly! I love poms! <3

Or alternatively, here’s a trick for anyone who feels awkward and scared on first meeting: Send an anon. For a long time, I actually reached out to people on anon, sending either a question for them/their muse or an IC thing, like ‘someone’s left a cake for your muse and a note of greetings - They thought you looked a bit hungry, so here’s a snack to counter that, if you like!’, provided their rules say something like that is okay and they’re not mutuals only. It’s a great way to test the waters and see how things work out, and if they do, that’s awesome! By then usually you’ll feel a bit more comfortable to come off anon and say hello in person, but if things don’t work out, then you can rest a bit easier. It’s not putting yourself out there so much on hello and I found that always worked out for me, so maybe it’ll help with someone else, too. <3

Does knowing the other mun make writing threads easier or harder? 

Definitely easier. As the meme states, I am anxious af, and because of that I have a hard time speaking up on things, be it something I’m not comfortable with or a detail that got overlooked, etc.. I do not like ‘bothering’ anyone or ‘taking away a smile’ and to me, speaking up on things feels like I’m highkey bothering someone, especially with people I don’t know, or know well. Knowing who I’m writing with makes things way easier and is exactly why I usually agree to threads with people who have a mun page, or a rules page that’s longer than ‘no godmod and have fun’ - It gives me an idea of who y’all are and where YOUR lines and limits are, so if something comes up I know I can say like... “hey this detail isn’t right’ or even ‘sorry to ask, but that did you mean by (thing)?’ without feeling like I’m being a bother. Some days, even saying ‘Hi’ feels like I’m bugging a friend, so knowing y’all definitely makes things easier. <3 I really don’t like bothering anyone and I am shy tumbleweed poof. XD

#Kaibacorpbros #Questioning A Flower [Asks] #Out Of Poms [OOC] #I am awkward and anxious pomeranian XD #I'm always scared to reach out BECAUSE it feels like I'm bothering people by doing that? #So like... Knowing y'all really does help #just like the ability to send things on anon as an ice breaker does <3 #But sankyuu bby! <3 #kaibacorpbros

Okay. Wait. Can we talk about this Tumblr post and how one day Jesse sits Hanzo down for a Serious Conversation. And Hanzo thinks that Jesse is dying, about to ask him to marry him, about to start a revenge arc etc. 

And then Jesse solemnly announces that he is a werewolf. And Hanzo is appropriately shocked (although it does explain why Jesse likes scratches especially behind his ear and the weird kicking thing he does when he gets these scratches).

And then Hanzo reaffirms his love for Jesse, tells him how it doesn't change anything, promises to stand by Jesse's side, Jesse is no monster he is the love of Hanzo's life etc etc., and Jesse agrees to let Hanzo stay during the next transformation.

And then they prepare for the transformation in Jesse's room, and have blankets, water, snacks set up, and Hanzo does his best to console Jesse during it. And then it happens.

And Jesse turns into a cute lil' pom just like ludwigplayingthetrombone’s Tumbleweed. And Hanzo just *squeals* because Jesse is the cutest thing he's ever seen and Jesse is looking mildly offended until he gets his favourite head scratches and then they just cuddle. The end. (Thanks for retumbling the original, @sherribonne!)

A flame emoji? A tumbleweed? A…pom pom? All of the above!

It’s a pom pom anemone! This spherical deep-sea species can roll around on the seafloor like a tumbleweed and has noodle-like tentacles dotted with stinging cells, much like its cousins, the jellyfish. Anemones use those swaying stinging cells to capture prey and bring it to their mouths. So next time you wonder what’s rolling in the deep, think of this astonishing anemone.

In The Weeds

In our desert, water occasionally falls from the sky sufficiently to create Flash Floods and awaken the seeds of future tumbleweeds and voracious milk weeds.

Let me do my best to avoid the farming – garden cliché of discussing the spiritual virtues acquired by weeding their growing soil.

Don’t trust anyone who writes about how pulling weeds freed their minds.

I am walking along the fence line of my tiny farm

looking like the world’s ugliest cheerleader

holding two massive pom-poms of freshly pulled weeds

One, two, three, four, who’s that muppet on the seafloor? It’s a pom-pom anemone!

Though they may look like glow-in-the-dark chrysanthemums, pom-pom anemones are animals, not plants! Their tentacles are covered in venomous stinging cells called nematocysts, ready to catch a crustacean snack as it passes by in the dark.

Pom-pom anemones take on a variety of shapes—from low and flat to round and puffy. In fact, scientists have seen puffed up anemones rolling across the seafloor like living tumbleweeds, "blown" by deep sea currents. Scientists aren't sure why pom-pom anemones change shape and roll around—they might be looking for "greener pastures," where there's more food to eat.

Merry Chrysler! Here is the 3rd installment of Infomercial hanzo! This years theme is Tree Decoration! it’s longer this year and there’s a butt, so i put it under the cut!

part 1 and part 2

If you like, consider leaving a tip!♥

Today, my assistants and I will show you simple and cost efficient ways to decorate a tree for the holidays. Let us begin. GO, My children!

We can’t keep these up, obviously, Peach is a bottomless pit. However, I enjoy personal touches. There is beauty in simplicity. You /won’t/ blow this for me again. Go play. Garland complete

Excellent, Baby Boy!! Onto ornaments! A way to personalize ornaments is decoupage. Take a photo or paper and brush sealer over top. Easy as that. I have many, many photos of my husband. But, for this example,

I chose this one! Perfect! Genji: Don’t put that next to mine! Hanzo: [cough wheeze]

I  have tasked the poms with collecting items to prove putting a bow on anything works. Pinecone, very sensible. Spoon. Jesse’s sock. [baby voice] what did you find? I entrusted Tumbleweed with the job of the topper. Jesse: Hey! I’ve been lookin’ for that, lil missy! Hanzo: Oh Hush, jesse. Come stand here.

Lil tums update!

kofi

Jesse: You don’t wanna play, Tumbles? What’s goin’ on, honey? You haven’t eaten either... Something’s wrong with Tums. Hanzo: I’ll take her in tomorrow... We’re off. You rest. Jesse: I hope they help you feel better, Angel.

Hanzo: I’m gonna bodyslam you. Sit down. Jesse: Oh Hush. How is she? Hanzo: Tumbleweed is pregnant. And a bit dehydrated.

Jesse: You’re full o puppies?? Hanzo: Three to be exact

Hanzo: You’re taking this very well. Jesse: I’m just glad she isn’t sick sick. Had me worried. Hanzo: She got some fluids, but should be feeling better. I’ll adjust her food, and we should have puppies in a month

Jesse: Wait Hanzo: now you realize Jesse: RASCAL!!

Jesse: It’s Rascal ain’t it??! I knew that stray was no good, hanzo. Now he’s knocked up my daughter! Hanzo: Rascal makes the most sense. We’ll have to wait a month and see. You have time to decide what you want to do. If you want to keep some or adopt them out. Jesse: Yeah

Jesse: Han, we’re gonna have some puppies soon.

Hanzo: Jesse, what do you wish for them? Jesse: I want.... I want ‘em to grow well. Find a good home. Hanzo: Do you know of anyone who would be good homes? Jesse: ....How selfish would i be if I said I wanna keep em? Hanzo: I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought the same Jesse: Really? Hanzo: Do you wish to try?

Jesse: I’m about to have 4 poms ain’t I? Hanzo: I cannot wait, honestly. Jesse: Fluffums!! You won’t be the baby no more! Hanzo: NO, DON’T LISTEN

How a Pom runs things

Tagged by:  Stolen from one of my other blogs <3

Blogs: This one!

SPEED: I’m admittedly pretty slow a lot of the time. I have a lot I deal with offline, and it can and does take a mental toll on me, so things really slow down whenever it comes up? I also run a bunch of blogs, so if I’m not here you can probably find me on another. XD

REPLIES: I tend to usually default to about 2-3 paragraphs per reply, largely because I like to detail and make my muse as clear as possible. I don’t really expect anyone to match my rambling, though, especially when I can ramble off to 5+ in the right mindframe.

STARTERS:  I am anxiety in a can, how are you? XD Honestly though, I don’t mind writing them, I just don’t make starter calls and such any too often! I’m a really anxious Pom, and even aside from that, I like to keep my starters personalized to each person, so I don’t often do big opens - But I will once in a rare moon do a starter call! <3

INBOX:  My inbox is always open! I love memes, especially for interaction starters and this is honestly a super easy way to get in touch with me and Sera.

SELECTIVITY: To a pretty good degree. I’ve got this blog marked as semi-selective for a lot of reasons, but I wouldn’t say I’m like, super selective?

WISHLIST: I have a mighty need for Sera to learn more about SOLDIER and Shinra, especially where she’s with @honorisen​‘s Zack and yet somehow still has no idea what Shinra’s up to, or the nasty truths of what makes a SOLDIER, past the fact she doesn’t trust Shinra as a whole outside of a single person at the moment. I’d love for her to just learn more about Midgar and the world she’s in past her dream to change it, but above all else, I really want for her to make more friends and bonds?

HONEST NOTE:   Hey there! <3 I’m Lita/Pom, and I’m a big tumbleweed of a poof dealing with some nasty anxiety, but I’m about as harmless and dorky as they come~! This is the first time I’ve dabbled in the FF fandoms in years, and the only time I’ve had an established verse of any kind for Sera, too - A muse I’ve been writing for well over fifteen years by now - so I’m pretty nervous to be swandiving into things as I have been. I’m just hoping to have fun and let my dumb flower out to make some friends <3

#Out Of Poms [OOC] #Howling Poms [PSA] #It's all Honorisen's fault for pulling me back in XD #But no honestly - I'm a huge dork who may not always get it 'cause of my autism #But I am just here to have some fun and let Sera fly again <3 #And tugging Kasa in with me so XD
