Alice In Wonderland But With More Crimes I Guess (one Of Which Is Like, 0.1 Second Away)

I just want to remind everyone that the Sargasso Sea is an ocean gyre in the Atlantic, off the coast of North America, that is a crystal-clear blue lake topped with seaweed forests. That is IN the ocean. There's no land around it. It's just a distinct giant saltwater sea in the middle of the ocean, because of the weird way ocean currents work.

And all the eels from North America and Europe leave their freshwater habitats and swim out there to breed and lay eggs and die. These weird snake fish swim a THOUSAND MILES to come here, to do this.

And the European ones rely on the gradual ocean current to slowly carry their larvae back to Europe, which takes 300 days, and their development cycle is synched to this.

And no matter where they end up, they immediately go up a fresh water source and live there. Until it's time to breed, then they just know to go a thousand miles back to this one weird patch of ocean.

This isn't made up! This isn't an Ancient Greek zoological theory! They do this! This is how they live! And our stupid river dams are blocking them from going from inland waterways in Pennsylvania and Britain, out into this one sea way off the coast of the Carolinas.

Nature is stranger than fiction.

Also like 200 years ago, these fish were so thick in the water that you could just go down on your luchbreak and grab one and cook it up on the beach. Eel was so ubiquitous that they made pies and jellies out of it.

What toxic pink slime did you pay $12 to eat for lunch today, Future Guy?

chaos, inside and out.

!updated! sorry, fixed his stripes.

I think the thing that everyone gets wrong about Mobei Jun in au’s or whatever is that he’s always extremely unromantic when approaching Quinghua. Mobei Jun in canon has been doing (to his own knowledge) a very public and socially acceptable courting ritual to the object of his affections, for years. He does this without getting outwardly frustrated towards Quinghua, and when he gets told it is not in fact being received well he stops immediately. He thinks he’s being incredibly obvious, which he is, to everyone except SQH.

Mobei Jun is effectively, a danmei version of Mr. Darcy.

His little maze of complicated social rules render him unbelievably repressed and unable to directly request Quinghua’s affection, but he loves that little hamster man so much he debases himself to flirt with him in public. He knows they’re of drastically different social standings, but doesn’t give a shit. This man has probably been planning their wedding since he was a teenager. If rom coms were a thing in the demon realm he’d be watching them and taking notes like a wannabe martial artist looking at UFC tapes.

That being said, in a modern office au or whatever, Mobei Jun would probably leave a huge bouquet on Quinghua’s desk every morning. However he does this without signing the card and it ends up stressing SQQ out because who the hell are these for????

The girls are back in town

It’s the season of mushroom🍂

Have you ever seen an eel irl? Don't they have funny little teeth?

my eel brain actually started with me volunteering to assist on an eel feed at the pūkaha wildlife centre. knee-deep in large, writhing beasts trying to get at the food in my hands, i fell in love.

you're right, the longfin eels teeth are so small! you've got to look really close because it kinda looks like it's just a rough texture:

but that isn't the only type of eel teeth! Viper eels have a pretty iconic set of teeth

they feed on slippery critters so need some good grippers, while a moray like the snowflake eel which eats more crustaceans will have flatter teeth for crushing:

snipe eels have backwards facing teeth! you might have to squint to see these because theyre so tiny, but they function similar to a pythons- once you get in it'll be incredibly damaging to get out!

Now with the inclusion of Crowely to the Ramshackle roster with Grim,Rollo, and (maybe Fellow) , it seems that the theme for Ramshackle is "It's a fucking yuu problem".

waiting for my turn to speak in a conversation and trying not to interrupt literally feels like I'm trying to jump into a game of double dutch

I think that one of the most underrated reveals in Scum Villain was that Luo Binghe inherited his big dick toxic alpha male energy from his birth mother, and it actually has nothing to do with his demon side.

currently thinking a LOT about LQG x SQH… specifically because of that one post someone made about SQH being a good wrestler…. LQG annoying SQH enough or maybe just catching SQH when he doesn’t have his PiDW equivalent of coffee and has been up for days for some rush orders, demanding a fight, SQH says FINE. NO SWORDS THOUGH. and lqg is like?? and then is manhandled to the ground so fast. and is like. solidly unable to get up for a sec.

i imagine SQH has built up a lot of strength and it’s the kind thats built from like. working. not working out exactly. moving shit around the peaks all the time as a disciple and then also he’s aware of how dangerous it is for him being a traitor and all that… he’s bulky, but it’s hidden away hehe.. sleeper build…

ANYWAY I JUST. WANT TO SEE LQG PINNED TO THE GROUND. UNDER SQH. MAYBE IN AN ARM BAR OR BETWIXT THE LEGS. DO YOU FEEL ME.
