#see them at the aquarium
Text
I love that Jean Jacket Miette post sm... I love her she's my little she/he pronoun scrungkly... Babygirl of a habituated bear... I want to keep her in an aquarium with alot of enrichment... No I did not learn anything from the movie why do you ask
#with twitter breaking im putting my stream of consciousness bullshit here#this is a joke obviously#other people concicely sum up dangerous exotic animal keeping better than i could#and also jellyfish octopi and sand dollars are all hard af to keep in a home aquarium if not illegal/immoral#see them at the aquarium#HOWEVER#i do think it would be a very good name for a cool bug like a tarantula or perhaps giant millipede or praying mantis#it speaks

Welcome to the Pigeon Guillemotel!
The first six pigeon guillemots (Cepphus columba) of the season were spotted off our back deck last Wednesday, March 1, ready with their shrill chirps, whistles, and water-dancing moves to find the mates they’ve been separated from since last summer.
These adorable pigeon-sized diving seabirds will spend the next few months building their nests and raising their chicks under the deck of the Aquarium before heading back out to sea once more!
#monterey bay aquarium#it's been a chilly welcome back for this guillemotley crew with all the rain#you'll probably hear them before you see them#smol but LOUD#just trying to find out what all the Cepphus is about

i think jack has the kind of adhd that makes him go deeper and deeper into the random details of what he hyperfixates on but also have no idea that his depth of interest isn't normal. he says oh haha yeah I've been obsessed with cowboys since I was a kid :) and he means "I have a near encyclopedic knowledge of western fashion from the cowboy era and could tell you the names of every outlaw and how they got caught or died from 1800 to 1850 and I have read journal entries and letters from gay cowboys so obscure that gay cowboy researchers I've reached out to find out more have not heard of them. but I have" he'll spend hours on Wikipedia yes but he'll also spend hours in museum archives so he can put real cowboy artifacts in a cowboy painting and add details that nobody but him and maybe two other people in the world will understand in there. but also he'll just say yeah I like cowboys and think that covers it. get him going and he can't stop but mostly he thinks his interest is casual because he's always been like this.
#jack was diagnosed/figured it out late so he just assumes everyone gets consumed by the burning need to know everything abt something#his love language is accidentally getting hyperfixated on the same thing as somebody in an effort to paint something cool for them#davey is fixated on one specific type of coral polyp and two months later jack is scanning for deals to go on a scuba trip to see one#in person so he can paint it better#(davey finds out and is like. they have my type of coral in the big tank at the aquarium. we could just go there)#(and that's how they have their first date which jack doesn't even realize is a date bc he's so focused)#(on absorbing everything davey can teach him about this coral)#audhd couple <3#newsies#jack kelly

OK, prediction for Gem's base:
She says she's building mega, but wants to focus on detail and that she's dressed as a pirate despite building the fishing boat from Dredge, I think her base is going to be a harbour with multiple different kinds of boats, being overall large in size but being comprised of individual boats that are filled with detail
Also, considering what Dredge is there's going to be some weird eldritch stuff going on
#Hermitcraft#hermitcraft season 10#geminitay#also sorta called it on what scars skin was#aquariums are just liquid zoos#also called GIGGS on Hermitcraft#or i guess it would be MGIGGSS#also i am so excited for skizzlys base in sound so stupid and fun#im just excited for this season in general#so many shenanigans already#mumbo gem and skizzs perspectives had me rolling#anyway gotta watch the rest of them see you in 3 days#blame doc#seriously my guy 3 hours already?

The low, blue light from the tanks is relaxing, meditative, even, and though the aquarium is loud with the sounds of small children rushing about and pointing out fish to one another, it’s still peaceful. Maybe it’s womb-like, I don’t know.
We stare at the turtles for ages and laugh about the description plaque, stating that all of these turtles were donated by families who no longer wanted them as pets when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle craze passed.
“They’re a bit like me,” Jen says, “my parents kinda donated me to Michelle’s family when the novelty wore off.”
I don't know if she wants me to laugh, but I don't think it's funny. The smile slips off my face and suddenly these turtles are tragic figures, metaphors for the cruel, shallow nature of humanity. We just toss living creatures aside and flush them down toilets as soon as they are no longer trendy. Usually Jen would be impressed that I had such a liberal thought without first seeing it somewhere on the internet and adopting it as my own opinion, but I can sense it’s not really the right time to start a discussion about consumerism, or whatever.
“I’m sorry about your mam today,” I say, “I would have expected she’d at least have the decency to say hello.”
Jen pauses for a long moment. I let the silence go on, and am beginning to think she won’t answer at all when she says, “I don’t know what I expected, to be honest.”
“It’s probably normal to expect your own mother to acknowledge you in public.”
“I just wonder if she’s missed me at all in the last two years.”
I don’t know what to say, “...I’m sure she has.”
“I doubt it, to be honest,” She stares dejectedly into the tank, “She’s had a lot of chances to reach out and make up, I just feel like she won’t do it if she hasn’t done it by now. I think that part of me thought she’d care more, I suppose, but then again I’m not really surprised that she doesn’t. She only had kids because people would have thought it was weird if she didn't.”
“Yeah but if she didn't then I wouldn't have a best friend.”
“You'd be best friends with some other loser if I didn’t exist.”
“Well, I'm glad it's you, is all.”
“I just think it’s a pity when… when love is supposed to be, like, unconditional, but it isn’t. You’re meant to love your kids no matter what, so I just think that if you’re going to give up on them as soon as they do, or… or are something that you don’t approve of then why would you have them?”
“I don’t think it’s that simple.”
“Ugh,” she shoves me lightly and turns to sit on a nearby bench facing another tank of fish, “Obviously I know, I was just saying.”
I join her, “I know, I feel the same way about my parents, sort of.”
“Well, I mean, it’s different too, isn’t it? Because Chris and Colette actually do love you.”
I hesitate, “I think they love what I do for them and all, how convenient it is for me to be around and helping with things at home, but I don't know if that's proper love.”
“That’s probably not everything you are to them, like, yeah, you help your mom out with the parenting thing when your dad refuses to be involved with it and that’s hard, but I don’t think they’d ever kick you out of the house and try to forget you were ever born. They brought you with them, didn’t they? When they moved to Ireland, and they didn't have to do that.”
I wish they didn’t. Sometimes I wish they’d just abandoned me at aunt Maureen’s house and let me grow up like the normal American kid I was on track to be, doing normal American kid things like blissfully finger painting awful, shit butterfly pictures in elementary school and going to summer camps with campfires and raft building activities.
Memories of the desert are lit up in technicolour for me now, so clear that I swear I can still taste the air. It was drier, sweeter than the air here. It smelled different too, carrying some indescribable scent that only snapped back into my consciousness when I visited again two years ago and I've had a hard time not yearning for it since. Everything was beautiful. At the house that I used to call my home I would carry my breakfast out to the terrace, hopping on flagstone scorching already from the sun, and just look at the distant mountains, jagged blue, for ages, while the Rio Grande shimmered like a mirage in the dust land below.
It's because of Ivy that we left, though I still don’t know why my parents thought that bringing another child into the world, on purpose this time, would somehow fix all of the tears in the fabric of their marriage. And what about me? What kind of real, genuine good was lifting me out of the place that was making me so happy? But I know it's too late to waste time wondering, and if I ask them they'll just repeat what they've always said about how raising children would be better in Europe, as if they would even know.
“Yeah,” I say to Jen, “I guess that proves they love me.”
“I know what your problem is,” she says, and I’m curious enough about hearing it summed up that I look at her, the tanks throwing moving shapes and colours across her face, “You’ve just forgotten how to talk to them, like, how to really talk about how you feel, and they’ve forgotten how to do the same with you.”
“Hm.”
“You and I are good at talking, I think. We can talk about anything, even really hard things, even when we get upset about it, so I know you have it in you to do the same with your parents, you just won’t. You’re just too awkward now because you’re used to the way that it is, but I think if you just tried to change your habits then you’d probably find that they’d do the same with you.”
I nod. I don’t really know what she’s saying, but it sounds wise in that oh-so-very Jen way.
“Maybe your parents want to be close to you too,” she continues, “you really don’t know. Maybe they’re just scared that you’ll push them away, and I know you’re scared of the same thing so you’re all just walking around on eggshells trying very hard not to get hurt.”
“Do you think so?”
“Well, they could have just not had you, but they did. They got married because of you, and they wanted to bring you here with them. They still take you on holidays and buy you school supplies and nice clothes and fancy gifts, and even though you are the worst behaved boy of all time you don't get punished half as harshly as you should. Mine learned I was gay and changed the bloody locks,” she sighs, “You’re a lucky boy, actually, like it or not.”
It's always hard to talk about her parents, not just because they were awful, but the casual way that Jen speaks of the event, like she's just repeating some bland school gossip she heard in the locker room. I know it hurts her. It must. The destruction they have done to her is immeasurable, and Jen has become so good at covering it all up, but I know her better than anybody. She’s vulnerable, sensitive and easily hurt, and even when her face doesn’t show it her eyes do. She knows I can tell, which is probably why she refuses to look at me for several moments and turns her face towards the shark tank to her left.
As for my parents, maybe she’s right, maybe I don’t know how good I really have it, and if I tried to talk to them more I’d be pleasantly surprised by the things they have to say. There are worse parents than mine, evidently.
We don’t speak again. I just sit close to her in silence while we watch the fish swim and weave between the rising bubbles in their tanks, fluid, free, mindless, until it is time to catch the DART home again.

Please consider sharing!
#inspired by a great conversation with my professor#about how zoos/aquariums make these animals ‘real’ for a lot of people#most of whom will never see them in the wild#and personally? seeing them on tv is utterly incomparable to seeing them in person#zoos#aquariums#support zoos and aquariums#mando’s polls

FOR REAL . IM GONNA CHEW ON MY DESK I HATE IT HERE

2023 reads
The Deep Sky
scifi mystery thriller
on a deep space mission traveling from an environmentally devastated earth with hope to restart humanity elsewhere
when they’re halfway, an explosion kills 3 crew and pushes them off course
the only witness is the Alternate who has no specific role, and she has to figure out who caused it & if they might continue to sabotage, while they're figuring out a way to get back on course with limited resources
flips between present and the past: of her childhood and training for the mission, her identity struggles, and relationship with her mother
questions the ethics of ‘restarting’ humanity elsewhere vs putting resources into fixing earth
#the deep sky#yume kitasei#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#i really loved this!!!!!#very intense but also a lot of interesting character introspection#love the virtual reality AI aspect!!!! though I do feel like. in the end I was expecting it to go way further with it?#(basically like instead of seeing the inside of the ship all the time they can 'be' in forests or aquariums or whatever)#no romance#(there’s side lesbians; and one flashback scene where she briefly wonders about kissing a random person; that's it)#emotional core about her mother and brother and best friend !!#i like that it gets into the flaws of 'humanity's last hope on another planet' bc like. yeah in real life things....don't work like that...#why is there zero acknowledgement that the concept of every one of them being expected to give birth being extremely fucked up?#like obviously everyone on board is there because they agreed with that but there’s not a single flashback of#when they found out that information; or mention of someone questioning it...#(for example a character mentions that they hid their mental health/use of a therapy animal bc they wouldn't have been let in and the -#eugenics around that is iffy to say the least)#but to me. pregnancy is horrifying and nobody questioning that was weird.#also there’s supposedly 80 people on board but we get to know less than 10 of them which felt a bit strange at points#Also! I love the cover. I can’t find the designer (the book info only credits the internal lllustrator..)#also: bird facts!

1 Insight: Djura's third companion is Josef
15 Insight: Josef is just a cooperator variant of the NPC type 'Izzy's Successor', Djura's third companion is that corpse you pick Charred Set from
40 Insight: 'Djura's companion' might not even necessarily mean Powder Kegs. For example, Djura's Ally doesn't have any Powder Kegs weapons but is clearly included! Even then, there were multiple Powder Kegs, why just three specific ones? Maybe 'companions' refers to his polycule divorces closest friends or whatever. Could that mean Bestial Hunter who is from Oto Workshop (beta Powder Kegs workshop)? Could that mean Valtr since his weapon was made in Powder Kegs? Could that mean Izzy? Who knows!
60 Insight: Djura's third companion is an OC spot because developers forgor/had no time and we've been doing blue curtains effect this whole time
99 Insight: Djura's third companion is a Blood-Starved Beast that Djura's Apprentice fights with, they left Old Yharnam together and this one was poisoned with Ashen Blood all along and eventually turned
0 Insight: You've been fighting Brainsucker in Upper Cathedral Ward's corridor for too long lol
#eheheheh hehehegee e ehheheh#bloodborne#retired hunter djura#powder kegs#also yeah I know that BSBs are very likely female#but 1) not 100% solid and#2) basically djura said 'this is my boyfriend [djura's apprentice name] and this is my boyfriend's girlfriend [BSB's name]'#okay a cuter idea is that BSB and djura's apprentice were a couple and djura was an authority for both but also best friend#I don't know the right word for this type of relationship? like imagine if Maria and Adeline were also close to Gehrman while being a coupl#and he looked after both and cared a lot about both of them but not in third wheel way like in platonically involved way#'parental figure' is not correct when it is a couple and not like found/adopted siblings I think lol#but 'authority figure' is too emotionally distant term to describe what it entails#but yes you see what I mean!#I am pretty sure there is a good word for it and I am being like a guy that called aquarium a liquid zoo help fdhhdfsds#bloodborne headcanons
