#velvet worm fact
Text
I love how velvet worms r like straight out of an alien horror movie,, the way they hunt is just absolutely terrifying but make them small and look adorable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS THIS THING LOOK AT IT
it literally shoots goop ( up to 1 feet) onto its pray that paralyses it, cuts it open with a sharp thorn like thing, inject a liquid that liquefies its organs AND SLURPS THEM UP
they r also completely blind, don’t have an exoskeleton and move by moving pressure
Goodbye

velvet worms?!
these little guys are called velvet worms !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they are not worms at all! they're Udeonychophoras, closer related to spiders and scorpions !!
there's only 200 species of velvet worm in the world! :O
these little guys might seem adorable but they're voracious predators
they have glands on the side of their head that secrete a sticky glue that hardens onto their prey so that they can eat it!
they've been around for 500 million years!
and they're velvety like skin is water proof! sensitive to touch and smell as well!

How do I ended up on furry costuming ytshorts? Not complaining though, but it popped up seemingly from nowhere
Way better than robovoice reddit on minecraft background or clips from familyguy but can i just have something that actually related to things i watching? Apparently not?
Please youtube does me bingewatching all the bbc earth and paleotube and archeotube and all that stuff tells you anything? Do i really must painstakingly search for this through the keywords? You handle your music recommendation nicely so far so what's wrong with that?
_______
Furry community seems nice but i dont really digging cartoonish/anime/cutesy style, im a scruncly goblin gurl with my scruncly goblin characters and burnout yt just give me some animal facts 🙄

Do you have cool velvet worm facts? They're my favourite bug-creatures :3
I love velvet worms! Absolutely bizarre creatures. They don't have an exoskeleton and they move by changing the fluid pressure in their body. ALSO there's a species (Euperipatoides rowelli) that lives in social groups lead by a dominant female.
Let's admire that species.

???-VELVELEP [Velvet-Leporidae] -Bug/Dark -The Bunny Worm Pokemon -Ability: Wonder Skin/Shed Skin - Strong Jaw(HA) -Dex: "Its body is soft and its skin is smooth like velvet, this, combined with its cute apperance, lead people and pokemon to believe they are harmless, when, in fact, they are vicious predators. Despite all of its body being soft, they posses a single fang hard as steel and sharp as a blade wich they use to open up their prays for feeding, after having them trapped in sticky webs." -Moveset:      -Super Fang      -Bug Bite      -Toxic Thread      -Sticky Web

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was born after I saw some photos of this little critter going around on twitter and facebook
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is called a Velvet Worm or Onychophora  and as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to turn them into a fakemon, if you followed me in Twitter you would have seen the whole process. But in the end I wanted to give my little bunny worm an evolution, and after some though I chose another bunny looking creepy crawly
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Bunny Harvestman is a species of Opiliones, a type of arachnid known for their long legs. They are harmless to humans but the whole "Long Leg" family of spiders is believed to have the most deadly bite among arachnids, similar to the Solifugae, which is a lie since their fangs are too small to make any damge, but I did use that in order to turn my spider bunny into a cute looking savage predator, based too on the fact that Velvet Worms are actually voracious predators

Looking more at femc I can see why she’s so popular in fact when it comes to the persona protagonists in my opinion she’s tied with narukami for best personality and funniest protagonist
(This is especially funny considering the fandom makes yu out to be the most flirtatious protagonist and yet femc was the first one to be able to woo not just one but two eldritch otherworldly beings before narukami)
(For the record I’m referring to the velvet room employees and ryoji)
You really have a good point about how FeMC being able to literally court Death itself is just fucking crazy.
Velvet room attendants are one thing — all of them seem to be fascinated by and in awe of normal humans anyway, so perhaps it's not AS insane for a human to romance them. But Ryoji?! I know he's already kind of a flirt, but even so: Dating the cosmic embodiment of death is truly some next-level shit. ............ Though I suppose that Narukami is ALSO capable of romancing one of the Persona universe's cosmic gods by way of Marie in Persona 4 Golden. Which I guess further strengthens the idea that Yu and Kotone share some similarities.
.....in fact, when you take that all into account, it's kind of surprising that Joker never gets the option to romance any otherworldly beings. Makoto can romance Elizabeth, Kotone can romance Theodore/Elizabeth (depending on which you randomly get) or Ryoji, and Yu can romance Marie. Joker doesn't have any crazy-ass inhuman romance options, though. Being able to date his teacher is gonna have to be crazy enough for him. :P
I actually opted to romance Akihito with FeMC when I played through P3P, however. Just a normal human romance. And despite that? It culminates in a wild moment that I don't think any normal person could realistically pull off.
To begin with, dating Akihito is already somethingo f an accomplishment because he's a guy that's constantly shown as being fawned over by girls at school, yet he never gives any of them the time of day. But hey, you've got an "in," right? You're both members of S.E.E.S., you share a dorm and a deeper understanding of the world. So maybe it makes sense that Kotone would get to worm her way into his heart where those others can't.
But Akihito doesn't actually confess his love to Kotone. Instead, he expresses confusion about his feelings, and SHE is the one who tells HIM that he's in love with her. And he's just like "Guess so" and decides she's right?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Holy. SHIT.
The sheer, unmitigated chutzpah. The unrestrained, mind-blowing rizz. It is incalcuable.

SOTM: Willy/Owen; shared interests
For the prompt: Willy/Owen
Feat. the spectre of ScratchnMoney being trouble tweedles.
When Tate was a kid, he had a brief obsession with science experiments. The usual suspects, the sort that come in kits for curious kids — anything that would change colors, or ominously bubble, he was officially intrigued, and if a volcano was involved, Tate was there no questions asked.
They were all simple chemistry, really, but it was fascinating to him, that he could follow the directions and something like magic would happen. It wasn’t magic, of course, but science; he knew that. It was, in fact, the entire point. But still, it felt like it. Even when he knew exactly why it was happening, exactly what he was doing to make it happen, understood the scientific basis of things, at least as much as a curious but not particularly scientific kid could, it still felt a little impossible.
He told that story to Owen, years ago, one of those nights on the precipice, and Owen had smiled through it all, a little one that said he understood, maybe better than anyone, and Tate felt like if he leaned in right then, that would have been it. Turned it into a capital M Moment, the kind they’d be retelling for years, ‘and that was it for me, right then, that’s when I knew we were meant to be together, the night he told me about magic and science, or a little of both’.
So Tate had asked if Owen wanted another drink, and even though Owen said ‘I’m good, Tate’, voice low, everything still imbued with double meaning, Tate got up, and he went to the bar, and by the time he returned, a drink in hand, the moment was over, the window closed. Owen excused himself not long after, citing a class the next day, even though Tate knew tomorrow was his evening one, and Tate went home and took a freezing cold shower, feeling like he needed to punish himself somehow.
It didn’t even work. Tate’s spent far too much time in ice baths for a cold shower to feel like anything but training. And training cannot be punishment. The moment training starts to feel like punishment, that’s when it’s all over for him. And one day it will be, he knows that. He still dreads the day that comes, but a little less than he used to.
Part of that’s three Cup rings, nestled in velvet and glass, a career for the record books even if he hung up his skates tomorrow. Part of that has a lot more to do with a kid working his way through science experiments, less interested in the explanations than the doing, the seeing something new, doing something new. Of being the instigating force. Wanting to see what happens.
*
When Owen was a kid, he spent most of his free time in his backyard. He watched the ants go about their business, the worms appear whenever it rained, the birds fight over the feeder him and his dad had set up, the squirrels scavenging the remains. He had a pair of binoculars he brought with him everywhere, watched the world through those, far away enough not to interfere, but close enough for a front row seat.
He liked the science kits too, the kind Tate loved. They were a default gift for him from family members that knew he was a nerdy kid, but little else. They weren’t particularly targeted about it, Owen recalls. He had the volcano, the kitchen chemistry, but he also recalls rock kits, simple robotics, fake fossils to excavate. An ant farm, though he never used it, thought it was cruel to put them in his room when they could be free outside, and anyway, his mother would never have allowed it, as squeamish about bugs as she is. She probably thanks God every day he didn’t become an entomologist.
But generally, Owen was told to go outside, get some fresh air, act like a normal kid. Which probably didn’t mean ‘go stare at ants in the backyard with binoculars’, but they didn’t really care too much, as long as he wasn’t underfoot, being just a little too unlike either of them.
That was the look they shared sometimes, Owen thinks — ‘did this come from you? Well it didn’t come from me’. Not fault, exactly, blaming one another for this child of theirs that made no sense, but bafflement, incomprehension. It made it easier to come out a decade later, already knowing his parents didn’t understand him at all. Not easy, but easier. Came out and then ran off to the furthest school that offered him a full-ride. They could afford it, his parents, had been saving up for college since he was born, but he didn’t want to owe anyone anything. Why should they have to pay for something they didn’t, couldn’t, didn’t want to understand?
He came back eventually, of course. He wasn’t planning to, and then he was planning to leave as soon he finished his Masters. And he did leave, for a little while, but he missed it too much to stay away. Things work out like that, he finds. Some have said you can only love what you understand. Owen doesn’t think that. He thinks trying to understand is an act of love, though. The greatest one there is, at least in his view.
*
It’s Money’s fault, as so many things are. His sister gets him worrying about what he’s going to do to pass the time in retirement, and that begins a frantic search for a hobby that isn't hockey or his literal other half. It doesn’t go so well. His efforts range from gardening — he kills it, and Tate doesn’t mean it slangily — to tipsy painting with Scratch and Owen that Tate was not allowed to join. Apparently he’s ‘too good at it’ and ‘needs to quit being awesome at everything because it is both obnoxious and enraging’, which Tate takes as a compliment. A rude as hell compliment: Money’s specialty.
All of this inevitably gets Tate thinking about retirement. He isn’t particularly worried about passing the time; he knows that his retirement is going to come with a job offer, one that he’ll probably take, if not necessarily immediately — Owen’s always wanted to go to South America, and Tate’s looking forward to going with him — but it also gets him looking back, thinking about what else interested him before hockey became his entire life.
Money keeps picking up all the stereotypical childhood hobbies in his quest, cycling from doodling to Lego, to declaring war on Lego, to making horrible beaded bracelets then foisting them on poor teammates, and Tate ends up idly looking at science kits, because he figures it's just a matter of time before Money gets there.
There are a few that haven’t changed much — kids are always going to like making volcanoes, and who could blame them? — but they’ve evolved significantly since he was a kid; for starters, they have kits for adults now.
Tate knows better than to pick anything that even approaches Owen’s field of expertise, which limits his options considerably, until he wanders into the technology branch of STEM. The robotics kits have certainly progressed in the last two decades. You can apparently even build a robot bartender. Tate didn’t know he needed that in his life, but he does. He absolutely does.
The box arrives in Kansas City while Tate’s in Dallas, Owen sending a string of question marks, then a smiley when Tate texts, Don’t start it without me. It’s a few days after his return they unbox it in his basement; it’s massive, but so’s Tate’s downstairs bar, and obviously that’s the best place to build a bartender.
“It’s not exactly like the ones we did as kids,” Tate says. “But I didn’t know if any of the chemistry ones would be too much like work.”
“Is playing street hockey with the kids on your block too much like work?” Owen says.
“Touche,” Tate says. “Also, ouch. They said this one’s for grownups, so no inviting Scratch and Money.”
Owen laughs. Tate loves his laugh, how easily it comes, how Tate’s misfit band of oversized children is something that delights Owen, rather than something he endures.
“You can build a bunch of different models,” Tate says. “Bartender, camera dolly, catapult — I mean it, do not invite Scratch and Money. They’re not allowed anywhere near a catapult.”
That laugh again. “You just got it so I’d build you a robot bartender, didn’t you?”
“Come on, a robot bartender is awesome!” Tate says, and Owen’s smiling at him the way he smiles at Money sometimes, as fond as it is amused. “And I’m going to help, obviously.”
He doesn’t know how much he’s going to help, but he’ll do his best. He never allows himself to do anything less.
“Let’s build a bartender,” Owen says.
Tate’s fist pump is quite restrained, at least in comparison to the guys he works with on a daily basis, but it makes Owen laugh at him anyway. But as always, there's warmth behind it, so as always Tate doesn’t mind.

Ok so my Tardigrade post now has way more likes than i thought it would, sooo.....
Here's some Tardigrade facts!!
They can survive in extreme areas due to curling up into a little ball called a tun. Tun formation requires metabolism and synthesis of a protective sugar known as trehalose, which moves into the cells and replaces lost water. While in a tun, their metabolism can lower to less than 0.01% of normal.
Tardigrades are also known as water bears or moss piglets! (And gummy bears in the Wild Kratts episode)
The lil guys were first described in 1773 by the German pastor J.A.E Goeze.
They were given the name Tardigrada, which means "slow stepper," in 1776 by the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani.
They have four pairs of legs!!!! 8 whole legs!!!!! :)
They can reproduce by asexual or sexual reproduction.
Live tardigrades have been regenerated from dried moss kept in a museum for over 100 years
Tardigrades are believed to be related to Arthropoda (insects, spiders, and crustaceans) and Onychophora (velvet worms).
They're only 0.05 - 1.2mm long!
They have little claws at the end of each leg (as seen in picture below 💙)

The descendants of the devil
The advantages of working as chief of police in Vacuo they were very big.
Stopping being a hunter was very good for him.
His descended from Arc gave him some advantages as many of his ancestors came from Vacuo.
But his descent from the Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth gave him a very high morale with the Faunus.
No Faunus had the courage to look at him.
The fact that he is descended from the terrible Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth left any Faunus in terrible fear, they couldn't look them in the eye because they were so afraid.
Jaune passed a diner and the Faunus present were frightened.
Coco: This is ridiculous, he helped us kill millions of Grimm and on top of that he saved the city
Fox: Well, this Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth thing makes any Faunus scared Coco. There must be a reason for such a thing
Velvet: You don't understand! Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth has killed thousands! Alone! Unlike the SDC, which has now been proven to have used slave labor, this monster has killed thousands of Faunus alone! Without anyone's help
Velvet looked at Jaune's back.
Tumblr media
Yatsuhashi: Well, taking apart from being a descendant of the devil himself, he is popular with single mothers
Coco: Who knew blonde loser would be popular with women?
Fox: I hear there is an argument about whether he looks prettier with a beard or without a beard
Coco stood up.
Coco: I don't care, the only thing that matters is knowing more about this Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth
Coco took off after Jaune.
Her team ran after her.
Jaune walked calmly, his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
Coco: Oh handsome guy with the big ass, stop!
Jaune stopped and turned around.
Jaune: It's just you Coco
Coco: Good morning to you too sir police officer
Jaune: Say what you want Coco. I have work to do
Coco: Who knows more about Diabolos I don't know what
Jaune: Diabolos Diogron Sabertooth
Coco: Yes, the same one
Jaune: I have nothing to say, he was just some Faunus who was treated as a monster because his animal part was an extinct animal. So he accepted that role and became a monster
CFVY: Just kidding
Jaune: No, this is the purest truth
Velvet: Your ancestor accepted being called a monster and became a true monster!
Jaune: Yeah
Velvet: So why didn't you reveal that part of the story?
Jaune: No one will believe me
Velvet: But if you reveal the truth—
Jaune: I don't want
Velvet: WHY!!!
Jaune: Why do I like being feared by Faunus. It makes my job a lot easier.
Velvet's eyes went blank.
Jaune: Fox, could you come with me for a minute
Fox: Ok
Jaune and Fox left while Velvet had a dead fish look on her face.
Jaune and Fox were in an alleyway where no humans or Faunus were moving.
Jaune: Fox, I would like you to watch the Oscar
Fox: Why?
Jaune: He has a worm inside his body that will slowly take complete control of his body
Fox was surprised.
Jaune: This worm is a very rare Grimm. It attaches itself to the soul of the person, the process of taking over the body is very slow
Fox: Continued
Jaune: This process of taking over the host's body is visible to the naked eye. Oscar's hair will turn white much earlier and his eyes will turn red
Fox: Now I ask you, why are you telling me this
Jaune: You are a real ninja, you are much quieter than Ren. I'm telling you this because I don't want to worry my old group
Fox: Okay, what do I do if Oscar's hair is completely white?
Jaune: Let me know right away, I have a remedy for this, but it only works when his hair is completely white.
Fox was silent.
Jaune had a serious expression on his face.
Fox: All good
Jaune: Thanks Fox
Fox was the first to leave.
Jaune stood and watched as Fox walked away.
Jaune's eyes took on a bright glow.
A slight pressure in the air had suddenly appeared.
Something fell behind him.
Jaune turned around and he found a raven.
Jaune: Very predictable Qrow
Jaune picked up Qrow in his bird form and left.

Velvet worms are top-tier cuties. Absolute bahoonies. Just simple lil-guys. (Aside from the fact that they shoot glue-like substance to incopacitate insects they eat). Their scientific name is Onychophora. They belong to a phylum/genus of their own, making them an exclusive species, their name is a term that translates to 'claw-bearers'. They are panarthropods that hunt invertebrates. Just look at these cute bloobloo's.

Tumblr media
[ . . . ] ARMY FANDOM BREAKDOWN
while main BTS stans refer to themselves as ARMY and are often viewed to stanning all eight members, there are however several solo stans or fans who bias one member more than the others. Y/N has referred to her fans as GRLANDRITES. this comes from a combination of her stage name GRLZILLA + ALEXANDRITE, a gem that is labeled as one of the ugliest in the worlds.
NICKNAMES : uglies, little shits, gems, worms
LIGHTSTICK : ARMY BOMB
GRLANDRITES EMOJI : 🪱
Tumblr media
OO. FAN DEMOGRAPHICS
AGE RANGE : while ARMY come in all ages, your fans are mostly in the age range of early teens to late 30s.
GENDER : when you originally debuted in 2013, bighit had it so you were geared to bring male k-pop stans into the fandoms. and up until around 2016, most of your fans were male. beginning at around 2018 you have gained a plethora of more female and nonbinary / genderqueer fans. this spike has remained constant in recent years from 2020-2022 and while you still have male fans, your female fans have outnumbered them.
REGIONS : you are most popular in east asia, north america, oceania, and europe. your largest fanbases are found in korea, america, japan, england, france, germany, australia, new zealand, and scotland.
OTHER FANDOMS THEY ARE CLOSE TO : ixluvs ( exile her ) revluvs ( red velvet ) moas ( tomorrow by together ) engene ( enhypen ) fearnot ( le sserafim ) carats ( seventeen )
Tumblr media
OO. FAN REPUTATION
ANTISOCIAL : it’s a known fact that you are antisocial. it’s often seen during interviews and when how very rarely you are seen out when in korea. this trait is often shared with a number of your stans as many have voiced that the reason why they stan you is because of how you don’t talk much in interviews, always avoiding talking on red carpets, and how you don’t leave your home.
COMPETITIVE : this is trait shared with the rest of the ARMY fandom. GRLANDRITES are often competitive when it comes to voting for you specifically especially in the BEST FEMALE category. it’s not often you get placed into that category so when you do, your stans work harder than the devil himself to make sure you win.
OBSERVANT : your stans have became observant when BTS started becoming extremely popular. this trait is often used when they watch videos of you during interviews. some of your longer stans mostly have this trait as they can tell by your body language if someone is making you uncomfortable or not.
CREATIVE : GRLANDRITES are probably some of the most creative people you will ever meet. they have been known to create several different types of art works and projects dedicated to you. when GRLHOOD was released, one specific stan did a whole series of painting dedicated to the mixtape. you found out about this and even bought the pieces and they can still be seen hanging up in your apartment today.
HUMOROUS : your stans love making jokes. especially at your expense. they are the ones who started the “disappointed y/n look” meme back in 2018. if you do something meme worthy, they are the first ones to turn it into either a meme or sound on tiktok.
Tumblr media
OO. FAN FAVORITES
ANTHEMS : i doll, girl in the mirror, dead man runnin’
FAVORITE ALBUMS : grlhood, wings, most beautiful moments in life pt.2, love yourself: her
FAVORITE ERAS : i need u, run, spring day, fake love, on
FAVORITE TITLE TRACKS : i need u, fake love, idol, on, run bts
FAVORITE B SIDES : borderline, egoist, dead man runnin’, pied piper, save me, left right, breathe, dracula, whalien 52
FAVORITE COVERS : come back home ( seo taiji and boys ) speechless ( aladdin ) paradise lost ( gain ) watermelon sugar ( harry styles ) talk ( khalid )
Tumblr media
OO. FAN TRIVIA
GRLANDRITES do not get along with jungkook stans for some reason and can always been seen fighting with them on twitter
their nickname “worm” comes from when some fans asked you if you would still love them even if they were worms and you just replied with “but you guys are already worms, aren’t you?”
GRLANDRITES have a good relationship with exile her’s fandom, IXLUVS.
a notable moment for GRLANDRITES was when one of your long time stans since debut was getting married and her fiancé had invited you. you flew back to korea just to attend the wedding and even sang as a song that you had written just for the couple.
in 2017, a fan bought you a star and named it GRLZILLA. you then bought a star that looked to be right next to yours in 2019 and named it GRLANDRITE.

femslash febuary day 4: unrequited love

It’s champagne and sugar, being settled next to James. It’s the pleasant fizz on the tip of her tongue as she sips, it’s the sparkling pink settling on her bottom lip like dew drops. It’s the refreshing sweetness of an overripe strawberry busting under her canines.
It’s just enough to tolerate, the sensation buzzes under her skin like a livewire. Barely enough to be background noise, to be something she’ll become accustomed to, a feeling she might even be lucky enough to forget.
And then James brushes the bare skin of her thigh and it’s static, it’s an open flame. It’s her skin peeled back and exposed the elements, it’s the softly humming cables of her body catching fire, scorching their way to her heart.
Sirius drains the last drops of champagne from her glass and meets James’ eyes. They’re wide behind the foggy glasses, sitting crooked on her nose. Wide with her unspoken request, shameless pleading bordering on begging. There’s not much Sirius would refuse James-in fact, she wasn’t sure she’d ever refused James-but this was pushing it.
“No! No, no, no!” Sirius has her fingers over her lips before James can even speak. “Not this! Find some other hopeless girl! There’s plenty in this room who’ll jump on the chance.”
And James is setting aside her own glass on the arm of the couch, and placing her hands on Sirius’ knees, and the crackling blaze in her heart is a bonfire. She’s coughing up ash and James’ nose is brushing hers. The air is sickly with their shared candied breath and Sirius has no defenses left. She’s sure she had none to begin with.
“Please?” James’ words slide down her throat like honey, soothing her burn like balm. Of course she couldn’t refuse her this, just she’d been helpless to refuse her before.
And James is the conqueror, the victor with her spoils. Settling back into the worm velvet of the loveseat and it may as well be a throne. Tapping the side of her glass with her fingernails, the piercing ringing commanding the attention of the room, she’s so satisfied on anyone else it would be smug. But not on James, never to Sirius.
Until she raises her glass over her head, silencing the hum of conversation and announces, “Speech! Speech! The bride wants to hear a speech!”
There are so many things Sirius could say about James, the bride, words that would fill libraries, but when she meets James’ eyes again the balm that was soothing her becomes suffocating. She’s burnt to cinders.
Everyone would expect a nice speech from her. A room of their friends, James’ family, a few hopeful hangers on, all expecting a nice speech from her. Two days before the wedding the responsibility was practically shackled to her by God. Or James, who was close enough.
Maid of honour, best friend of the bride, sister of the groom. There was so much she could say.
And then James squeezes her wrist and she can’t hear her own voice over the roaring flames licking up her ankles, her inner thighs, her stomach.
It’s James’ nails dragging over her skin, pressing down her racing pulse. It’s the way her lips part softly with a gasp when she looks at her, sticky with lip gloss they’d applied together. It’s the pull of her dress over her chest, fabric stretched thin over the gentle thudding of her heart, so steady and grounding compared to Sirius’.
It’s the way she knows those hands as well as her own, and longs for them to touch her in ways she’s only touched herself. It’s the way she knows how James would taste on her tongue, the way her skin would split under her teeth.
It’s the way James’ body is pressed to hers, shoulder to thigh, and it will never be close enough. It’s the way Sirius brushes a lock of her unruly hair over her shoulder and her fingers twitch for more, to bury herself up to her knuckles in the roots. It’s the way she could climb inside James’ open mouth and take root inside her stomach.
But Sirius can’t say this, and maybe she doesn’t have to. The way James’ triumphant eyes rake over her shorched body, she’s sure she knows.
“Well,” and the crashing waves in her gut settle to a gentle rocking as Sirius focuses on the mole on James’ collarbone. “You all know how much I love James…”
“I love you!” And James has the tip of her sword at the base of Sirius’ exposed neck. “We’re like sisters, you and me.”
It’s sour, the sip that Sirius takes. The champagne refuses to pass the rising bile in her throat, it rots behind her teeth. It’s warm and flat, choking her.
It’s words forcing their way out of her, out her the gaping wound in her vulnerable throat. It’s vinegar in the hot air between them, the lie the spits through the blood James draws.
“Like sisters.” She agrees.
And she’s still burning.
