Trick or freaking treat!!!
FREAKING SHARK FACT TREAT!!!
did you know there's a type of shark called a pocket shark and it's called that bc it has little pouches near its pectoral fins but I choose to believe it's called that because it can fit in your pocket (roughly 15 cm long)!!!!!
no one really knows for sure what the pockets are for (bc so few have been found) but some scientists theorize it stores glowing liquid that they splash at predators to make them blind and confused
*hands you a pocket shark*

DYK…
pocket sharks are exceedingly rare (so not a lot of information about them exist!)
pocket sharks were first discovered by scientists from tulane university that were conducting a study on sperm whales in 2010. In 2013, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration identified it as a pocket shark, the first to be found in its region.

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!
Today's wet beast is: Pocket Shark
Olive's Wet Beast Fact: this little creature actually isn't called "pocket" because of its extremely small size. It's called that because it has a pocket gland behind its gills that releases a magical glowy fluid. You wish your fluids were that cool looking.
Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

I have terrible motivation, but once while I was in a super goofy mood I started writing a fic where the Mayor, upon noticing that Faith and Buffy clearly have romantic feelings for one another, realizes that the best way to get both slayers on his side is to convince Buffy to date Faith. What I’m trying to get at is, The Mayor plays matchmaker for Faith and Buffy as part of his evil Ascension plan and not at all because he loves Faith and wants her to be happy. There was also a subplot were the Mayor kept “gently” encouraging the people of Sunnydale to wildly flirt with Angel as a plot to break up him and Buffy, but Angel was just... so not understanding that he’s being hit on. And another subplot was the Scoobies all basically going “what do you mean it’s not heterosexual to be attracted to people of the same gender??”

I figured this out last night and I feel like it’s a very obvious fact that was glaring me in the face in hindsight but bc I haven’t seen anyone explicitly mention this I have decided to Break My Silence and hopefully string together a coherent sentence
X and MP had me confused for a bit bc they’re both researchers…..scientists……in Laplace Institute (idc for the name) and ik they’re in different departments or w/e but for some reason X’s field of research is so much clearer than MP’s in comparison
Turns out I was just not playing connect the dots hard enough anyway check this out
First thought for me here was: oh, MP made the Picrasma Candy?? Cool, v cool
Second thought: what does being a masochist have to do with researching…..
I scroll back up on the wiki. I read these descriptions. Suddenly I understand
So MP uses their own body for experiments. Ohhh, ok. That explains why all their voicelines and other things are about stabbing themself with a syringe or asking you [Vertin] to write stuff down or smth along those lines……it’s bc MP [is] the test subject, MP doesn’t need any other bitches bc they ARE that bitch……..
This is in comparison to X’s voicelines, where he asks you to participate in experiments more often than MP does
And from what we can infer from some of MP’s voicelines, some of the experiments they conduct on themselves (likely done in Wilderness/Vertin’s suitcase) - probably experiments where it’s more life-risking/dangerous for them (hey dude, in what situation would you be counting your ribs??) - are experiments they’re not allowed to conduct in Laplace Research Institute (which gives them a viable reason to join Vertin’s group). The experiments MP normally conducts should all be related to general physical testing, if you consider the mentions of a training ground, frisbees, etc, and that’s probably how they managed to develop Picrasma Candy as well (through rigorous testing until they developed the current best formula for the candy)

i have so much salt
what can i do with this much salt? well
each piece is about the size of 2 fists
google says a fist is roughly 250 ml in volume
0.0005 x 200 = 0.1
i'm gonna say it's 1000 kg/m^3
SO: I have 100 kg (220 lb) of solid salt (all obtained naturally from exploding rocks, of course)
oh sweet neptune
that is 38,758,000 mg of sodium
(turns out i didn't need that step but that's certainly a number)
AO takes place in the like, 18somethings probably (source: rackham's journal, dated 1806-1807, presumably from decade(s) ago)
reaching a little but should be close enough, let's say 130lbs?
i'll just round up to 60 kg
hey google how much salt would kill a man
3 x 60 = 180 g, or 0.18 kg
what kind of cursed worm can am i opening here?? (*continues to pry at the can's lid*)
100 / 0.18 = 555.5
i have enough salt to kill 500+ people
truly a menacing notion. that's enough to wipe out most smaller islands, and my power is only growing-
Goal Unlocked: Have Enough Salt to Theoretically Kill Everyone in the Bronze Sea
ravenna will rue the day that they arrested me, setting me on this path of (rock) destruction
the island is absolutely lush with rocks, too
ahem
Bronze Sea Population:
Ravenna, ~12,000 (goddamn)
Fort Talos, ~2,000
Silverhold, ~1,000
Palo Town, ~1,000 (literally how)
Cirrus Island, ~300
Redwake, ~300
Frostmill, ~180
Shell Island, ~80
Sailor's Lodge, ~50
Whitesummit, ~40
The Northern Jaws, ~30
The Forest of Cernunno, ~30
anywhere small enough to lack a population counter isn't worth putting on my saltlist, i'm not gonna hunt down Thorin and feed him salt, that's just unnecessary (and Thorin is cool, he has bronze hammer 👍)
0.18 x 19,010 = 3,421.8 kg
100 kg = 200 salts (1kg = 2 salts)
6,844 pieces of salt could kill every human in the Bronze Sea
and That's assuming we need the maximum dosage of sodium
sure, the Gravy and Ravenna military wouldn't go down without a fight, but they'll fall eventually. even sailor fist users probably have limits (except that one guy who ate fifty pies. they turned into God, i'm sorry, i could never kill such a being)
i will become Theoretically Unstoppable within years

the dwarf lanternshark is credited to being the smallest shark in the world. they’re even smaller than a human hand, growing to be around 6 and a half inches long. but, the elusive american pocket shark is smaller, measuring in at 5.5 inches long.
