Who Can Argue With That Sentiment?

Who can argue with that sentiment?

Incredible, but true: @etheriumart deserves to have a good day today.

Hey, haven't seen an update from you on Ao3 in a while. I hope you're doing okay and I want you to know im thinking about you. Thank you for your wonderful stories.

Thank you for your thoughts! I’ve had a very rough most-of-a-year, including two wrist surgeries, so I haven’t been able to write very much, fic-wise. I still don’t have the next chapter(s) finished, but I think I might post up the one before it just to let people know I’m not abandoning the fic.

Okay, yes. I love monsters!

Oh dear

Hey guys. EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE who reblogs this post BY MAY 5TH 2019 will be getting a small monster design based on your blog theme, name, or profile picture. Let’s go.

New chapter

It’s time for a trip to the Space Mall! 

Next chapter of The Rites of Courtship

Keith gets some bonding time with Pidge and Hunk, and gets to meet Sal and Varkon, and a special guest! Please keep in mind that while this chapter is tame, the fic as a whole is rated Explicit and the main pairing is Keith/Thace.

I don’t usually do anything with posts like this, but I could really use a wish granted. It can’t hurt. 

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

Oh boy, let’s talk giant eggs! (no, really, I’m coming out of lurking for this) Ostriches do indeed lay the largest eggs of extant species. However, the largest bird egg known is the elephant bird egg. I have found an image to show a size comparison between one and a chicken egg: 

Based on the thought that the most common size of eggs in that image are probably chicken-egg sized, I’d guess that the largest eggs in the image are somewhat larger than an elephant bird egg (rough guestimate 1f-1.5f long?). Elephant bird eggs can be over a foot long, and weigh over 22 pounds. The largest subspecies of elephant bird, vorombe titan, is estimated to have weighed between 1100 to 1600 pounds (and up to a possible 1900 pounds) and is considered the largest bird that ever lived. It’s also estimated to be about 10 feet tall. 

So, yeah, the birds that laid the giant eggs in the image probably weighed over a ton. Height would be harder to pinpoint, because some birds are much stockier than others. Moas, for example are about the same height as elephant birds, but top out at 500 pounds.

Okay, but some of those eggs are really big! I don’t want to see the bird (or reptile) that laid them!

I mean, the largest egg on earth is the ostrich egg

and there are eggs in Fred’s collection that are easily three to four, even five times that size! I don’t want to meet something three to five times the size of an ostrich, okay?
