No, you’re not allowed to write Marvel fic. Stop it. Cage the plunnies.
Yours,

i would like to hear the plunnie tbh
So, 21-year-old Tony Stark is in the car with his parents the night the Winter Soldier attacks them. He survives the initial crash, manages to escape through means I haven’t quite figured out yet (with the Super Soldier Serum in hand), somehow he ends up reminding WS of his time as Bucky, and basically it turns into WS taking Tony on the run from HYDRA and kinda-sorta SHIELD while Jarvis and Peggy have a collective conniption because holy shit Barnes is alive and double holy shit the Stark Kid is with him and triple holy shit the Stark Kid has the Super Soldier Serum and they’re not sure if Barnes is dragging him straight to HYDRA or not.
Seems like it could be fun, i hope, and I think snarky young adult Tony who already has a Master’s Degree in electrical engineering would be fun teamed up with Murder Killity Stab Stab Shooty Man with one fine-ass piece of machinery for an arm.
Frequently, people ask me if I actually think about what I’m about to say before I say it
and then usually I’m like sssssometimes???????????
I mean…like, they’re pods/eggs? But they also have a “root” structure to attach to things, so you can plant them? Maybe these are spores or barnacles or something.
This is why I usually just call them “Pods”
Spores come from fungi, and barnacles are adult animals, so it’s not either of those. They aren’t seeds, either, seeds have plants inside
If it has an animal fetus (I think Cybertronians count as animals despite being metal, since they’re multi-cellular{ish} living things that consume stuff instead of making their own energy), a yolk or similar structure which attaches to the fetus, a surrounding of fluid, and some variety of shell or coating, it’s an egg. Pretty sure roots don’t invalidate that? Even if they’re the sucking-up-nutrients sort of root.
True enough. I’m pretty sure “egg” is the right terminology here.
Plus, it makes it real awkward when Optimus Prime assumes that all these kids hatched from eggs at some point and they’re like “uhmmmmmmm”
Photos of an ostrich nest are being passed around for some reason and one of the bots is like “oh, is that what human nests look like? Messy.”
Ever wonder what life is like as a cephalopod aquarist?
Our Tentacles exhibition is the largest living collection on cephalopods on display in the world—and keeping up with its tenants is colossal (squid) amount of work! Take a look behind the scenes with our Squid Squad and find out what it takes to care for our cuttle puddle of cephalopods.

Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name
reblog with your middle name in the tags
Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!
Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.
The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).
this is some death note shit
Is that why when a parent uses your full name (or even just first and middle name) when they’re angry with you, it feels like they just cast some serious mojo on your soul and you know you are in deep shit?
Tell me again about how “dinosaurs aren’t as cool or scary now that we know they had feathers.” JFC these guys are simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.
Look at all these excellent feathered terror babies!
second to last one is basically a really big lammergeier
I always see people talking about how eating too little or forgetting to eat is a symptom of mental illness and therefore shouldn’t be judged, but I never see anyone say anything about how mental illnesses can drive people to overeat.
People with binge eating disorder exist.
People with ADHD who eat when they’re bored, and need something to do exist.
People with depression who comfort eat exist.
People with PTSD who overeat as a way to make themselves look unappealing, or as a way of comfort exist
People who overeat as a form of self harm exist.
We exist.
Because overeating and being fat is so harshly hated upon, no one wants to believe that fat people are struggling with mental illness; they just want to believe that fat people are lazy and refuse to change because they don’t want to.
We don’t owe you anything.
I had no idea that was a symptom of ADHD! I just thought I had no self control or something.
