only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

I just don't want anyone to steal my very cursed amulet

Also the amulet

Is that you talking? Or the amulet? Are you SURE a new hand doesn't want to touch the beacon?

The amulet and I are not currently looking for a third

Holy Shit

plus we could have seen the original version where Gollum just gave the ring to Bilbo as the prize in the riddle contest, and then have Frodo say "That's funny because Gandalf told me...." and then the true version, at which point Bilbo clears his throat awkwardly and looks at the ceiling.

see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell

the most important thing to know about the UK isnt the tea or the baked beans or whatever. its that mr brightside has been charting on the uk top 100 for 475 weeks, or about 9 years straight. sometimes it just randomly rises up to the top 40 for no reason. the grip that song has on our souls should be studied.

one time me and my coworkers were locked out of our storage building in the rain and we somehow ended up in an extremely passionate group rendition of mr brightside. like 30 people belting our hearts out, rain dripping down our faces. in my heart that is how this song should be ideally experienced tbh.

I don't read as much fic as I used to but one "tell" for non Canadians writing us, besides the etransfer, is the units you use to describe us measuring something. I hate to tell you this but The Chart is real and it's completely subconscious. Please abide

not enough in comics or in fan spaces about how damian is going to be crack cocaine to all of the little protogoths in middle and high school. theyre going to be hanging off of him. they're going to be obsessed. think about it. hes catnip. hes not even goth but he kind of seems like a vampire. hes their boytoy wednesday addams. manic pixie dream boy. and nobody is talking about how it's kind of dick's worst nightmare.

i know these little baby goths i do. they're all trying to one up each other. damian has like 5 different peoples wisdom teeth and a bunch of necklaces that are just little vials of blood. talia is also shriveling a little because her beautiful little boy (who is borne of her, a well dressed woman, and her beloved, a well dressed man) had some sticky goth teenagers get their fingers into his closet and now he's wearing ankle length jean skirts. habibi i am glad you have clothes you enjoy but could they perhaps be silk or velvet or at least not demin?

hes a little brown edward cullen to them. they think hes maybe a vampire i'm being very serious about that. he's just a rich ESL student but they don't know that. "he's so mysterious" you are just twelve and he is not american. he's catnip. he's a quiet artist type and he was raised by Talia al Ghul. he's memorized Shakespeare. hes designed to trap goth people. hes not even goth. but like you look at him and youre like He could be goth. I could goth that. He could goth. they're fighting over him but also they're all just his friends he's been absorbed into the goths.

i think they make him do theatre. he's not interested at first (and he is not built to do anything contemporary.) but one day one of them is like begging him and he's like. "No Mariposa And You Should Cease Asking. Theatre Does Not Align With My Interests." and shes like okay well whatever I'm going to go learn swordfighting for Romeo and Juliet and damian is like. "Lead the way to the theatre." he's off book by day 2 and the teacher has to be like. very impressive but please pretend. everyone else is feeling bad. he gets to be hamlet in hamlet.

he ends up getting his little goth club into exercising regularly because half of them follow him everywhere and the other half follows the first half and then suddenly there's a goth army learning ballroom dance. Imagine walking into a high school dance class/club and there's like 10 goths clustered in a corner in full corpsepaint in leotards and little ballet shoes. this would be the best day of my life.

it keeps dick up at night. hes not ready to become a grandpa at 29. alfred tries to comfort him by showing him young posergoth bruce (who got ZERO pussy) and dick is like. alfred. thank you i will treasure this forever. but this is not a comfort. he's laying awake in bed at night like The only way this doesn't end with me being alfred in a talia and bruce situation is if jon kent swoops in and saves the day. which will then make me the alfred in a bruce and clark situation. my life is a nightmare.

the only thing keeping him from the worst case scenario (being the alfred in a bruce and khoa situation) is that jon snapped up the best friend slot so early that damian doesn't have the time or space to ever collect another best friend to become psychosexually obsessed with. dick is so acutely aware of this. more than once he has thanked jon to his face excruciatingly sincerely to his face for no reason. he's like Jon. Thank you. I genuinely cannot thank you enough. and jons like. i just got you some water but youre welcome. jon thinks he is so weird but like well. people have been weirder so it's probably fine

and bruce is no help. Dick is like barging into his office to be like "Damian is dating a new girl at school" and bruce is like Please don't talk to me about this dick my head already hurts. and dick is like "you need to be informed about the social life of Your child. She's given him a vial of her blood on a necklace." bruce voice richard PLEASE.

we're overdue for a reactive wave of anti-cozy games. animal crossing but office workers. restaurant management but applebee's. farming sim but all spreadsheets. never see an ear of corn the whole game
