#macerate

and at 24 minutes in, this happens:

James: Are you gonna massicate them? Ed: What? No! James: ...Andi said it earlier. Presenter: Macerate? No, cos you macerate sweet things. Ed: Also, masticate's chewing stuff up, so I hope he's not gonna do that.

@silverview is this merely a wonderful coincidence or did you take inspiration from another of my classic smartarse/idiot blorbo pairings in writing the one of them that's in the delightful fic you gifted me for xmas???

mac·er·ate ( ˈmæsərˌeɪt ) - to soften and break down by soaking for some time

Gonna try macerating this raccoon skull! I’ll post about it on a weekly bases :) I’ve boiled skulls before but I’ve heard that this is a better way to clean the skulls out. I’ve tried my best to take off whatever meat and skin I could ! Any suggestions on anything that could help me during the process or what to do after would be greatly appreciated ✨

Goblin trigger warning: dead possum 😥😿

.

This morning I saw a dead possum on the side of the road while I was omw to school. It looked in tact so much that I thought it could have actually been playing dead.

On my way home I decided to pick him up, since he was definitely dead. I glanced at him and assumed his skull was all in tact and nice, so I grabbed my gear and took him home.

Well, first red flag was the fact that while I was at school he was ran over again and his guts were all out. I already took it this far, I said to myself.

When I got home to remove the rest of the organs, I made the realization that his little head was actually crushed and his skull was most definitely not in tact. (EDIT: after another look, his lower jaw looks pretty good! We'll have to wait and see how he turns out I guess!!!)

Welp, he's mine now, I guess. I put him in a little rotting cage and in a few weeks/months (?) We'll see how it goes. Im assuming his ribs are probably all broken because of the position he was in, but who knows I guess?

By the way, if you were wondering, I did not in fact take out the rest of his organs because I am a wimp and it was smelly.

Also, he did have worms, evidenced by them being all throughout his strewn out guts.

(I also don't really know his or her gender/sex because I could not bring myself to check...sorry bros)
