The electric eel at my aquarium has a voltmeter attached to his tank, and whenever he pumps out a burst of electricity–either when he’s navigating his tank or getting fed–the meter lights up and makes noise. Sometimes, I’ll walk past him when he’s snuggled up and totally motionless on his log, and see the voltmeter going crazy.

hello i have this

a minor headcanon that I will die defending is that reigen initially assumed that mob’s supposed “psychic powers” were just how he rationalized his autism to himself. like here’s an obviously autistic kid, one reigen clocks immediately because he’s, well, reigen, and he’s talking about extra sensory perception and having powers he can’t control, powers that are scary. obviously, he assumes, this is something the kid picked up from his parents, a way for him to rationalize his alienation from other children— that no, you’re not “different”, you’re special (not even going into the parents who think their autistic children are like, aliens) and the other kids can see that you’re special and so they treat you like you’re weird and creepy and they don’t invite you to play and they whisper behind your back but it’s fine, because one day they’ll see how special you really are. and adult autistic reigen arataka, who was also probably-definitely bullied as a child, decides to nip that thought in the bud and gives the whole spiel, that no, “psychic powers” (autism) don’t make you special, and yes, they do make you different, and that’s fine because everyone’s different, and at the end of the day you have agency and you get to decide the kind of person you’ll be, so choose to be a kind one, and he sees this kid hanging off his every word as he tells him the kind of stuff he wishes someone had told him when he was so little and alone, and he mentally pats himself on the back and hypes himself up for another cigarette.

Ebola is still spreading in several countries in central Africa. How did the outbreak manage to spread so far and infect so many people without being detected? This guy!

Oh hang on.

everything about xion kingdom hearts is just. so incredibly transgender. she's a clone of a boy that develops an identity as a girl. her appearance to others is magically dictated by their interpretation of her identity. the female features she grows to prefer are only present when she is both mentally stable and either alone or around people who respect her chosen identity. the interpretation of others can override her own to the point where it changes her against her will, forcing her to constantly fight to be seen as herself. she is repeatedly called "it" by authority figures who go so far as to correct and mock others who call her "she." she is gentle and kind and means well but when her identity is questioned she either collapses in despair or lashes out viciously. she is given the choice between living as a boy or dying as a girl and she chooses to die. she is forced into being an antagonist not once but twice. she finally sees the boy whose appearance others kept imposing on her and goes fucking berserk and tries very hard to murder him. she is broken free from mind control and given back her preferred appearance because someone recognizes her under a forced featureless appearance and calls her by name.
