Aw yeah, anatomy!

All the arms and hands studies and practices I did to level up my anatomy drawing.

Man, one thing about adhd is when you get focused on something, you Really get Focused on something. Aka me furiously googling mosasaur and varanid skeletons.

My most beloved toy was a plush frilled lizard handmade by an aunt's friend. I named it Cera because I loved the first land before time film. Never found another one like it.

How many people’s most beloved childhood stuffed animals are actually teddy bears, like I feel like that’s a thing someone made up. Reblog this and put what your longest owned and/or favorite stuffed animal as a child was in the tags, inquiring minds want to know

Tis true. Here's my old ten gal set up on a standard computer desk. Didn't take up much space at all. I still have the tank in case I have the time (and better health) to keep a betta again.

I’m sure a great many people have said this before, both here on the tingle dot net and on other platforms, but I’ve recently had to explain this to a family member and I think it bears repeating.

There are a ton of myths in fish keeping, especially about the more popular species, like bettas. Such as “bettas don’t need much water because they live in puddles in the wild!” Which will then prompt me to have to gently explain that this is not quite true, and that when they think about puddles they’re thinking of something like this:

(A very small and ephemeral collection of water in a divot on the ground after a rain, usually evaporated after a few hours, and how would a fish even get in there?)

Instead of something like this:

(An example of a wild beta habitat: shallow ponds, marshes, slow moving streams and flood plains. These might be described affectionately as a “puddle” in that these habitats may only be a foot or two deep, but they generally cover a wide and vegetation-heavy area.)

Anyway if I see one more of those plastic 0.5 gallon “tanks” I am going to scream.

Where are my fancy stripes?! I want my fancy stripes visible dammit!

Imagine an alien sharing a cool human fact they just learned like ”hey guys did you know that the silvery markings on humans actually aren’t true stripes? They’re called stretch marks, they happen when the human is growing fast enough to actually outgrow their skin, which is apparently something that just fucking happens to almost all of them at some point of their life.”

and another one is like ”wait so you’re saying humans don’t have stripes.”

”actually they do, but the stripes are invisible. There’s genetic code that’d give them stripes but they’re just the same colour as the rest of the skin. So the visible stripes are not real stripes and the real stripes are invisible.”

”I swear if you tell me one more weird human thing today I’m beating your ass.”
