23. that one I did really recently w/ athena. this one

he's a fucking mess. he's not used to looking cool. he's trying so hard

I’m dead.

You killed me.

Your latest fic was too cute and perfect and I am now dead on the floor.

It’s all your fault.

You’re too good of a writer.

I love franmaya!!! They're both great characters and I feel like their personalities compliment eachother really well. I wish they interacted more in canon coz they're my two favourite trilogy characters and a relationship (romantic or platonic) between them would be so fun. Definitely more of a headcanon ship than one I see in canon, but great nonetheless.

You know what? I’m enabling you. Tell us about all of the other options you mentioned! :D

YAY

i’m so glad you enjoed it ksdhksdfjkdsfkdfdfaljsdfkl

okay anyways, what questions have i still got left? uhh,, my own experiences and best shark week moments!!! so just my memories ig lmao

okay so i’ve loved sharks since i was about six, and kind of just was fascinated ever since. i read every book i could find (even the just. field guides lmao), watched all the documentaries, especially i loved shark week every year, and going to aquariums!! so my first experiences were aquariums.

in san francisco (a couple hours from where i live) they have the aquarium of the bay, which includes a walk-through tunnel with sea life that lives in the bay surrouding you as well as a petting zoo with small sharks! so i got to walk through the tunnel with kelp forests surrounding me, watching leopard sharks swim around, six and seven gill sharks slowly swim over the top of the tunnel, and look through the glass excitedly at the sand to try and spot the mysterious angel shark that the labels said were there.

then i’d get to leave the magical tunnel, which emptied out into the petting zoo area. they have rays, which swim up to be pet, and swell sharks in there, which generally hang out in one tiny corner. we got to reach down into the freezing water and gently stroke the shark, who didn’t seem to mind. it was a magical experience, feeling the shark! it had the denticles i’d always learned about, which are tiny little spikes on their skin that make them more aerodynamic and also hard to swallow because they poke you if you pet them backwards (or if you tried to swallow them!).

then a couple years later, with many trips to that aquarium in between, we were crabbing at our local pier (my family loves crabbing lmao) and we got out of the car to carry our stuff out and i looked out at the water and saw two fins. most fish only have one dorsal fin, so i was like oh!! probably a shark!!! and it turned out that it was a shark! it was a little leopard shark, which looks like this:

and it was actually pretty large for one of these guys, maybe around six feet? but leopard sharks are pretty harmless, and this one was very obviously sick :(( it came up to the edge of the water, where it was about a foot or two deep, and hung out there for hours. it was really sad but it only cemented my love of the creatures.

then one year, for christmas, my grandma brought us back to the aquarium of the bay for a special behind the scenes tour. we got to see the back areas, but the coolest part was when we got to go above the tunnel and throw fish in to feed the huge, 7 foot sharks! they were actually really lazy though lmao ;-; most of the fish went to the big fish and little sharks, not the actual big sharks lmao. it was really cool though sdlfjdlfjksd

and that’s pretty much the extent of my real experiences with sharks, despite living 20 minutes from the beach lmao (and near the red triangle, a great white hotspot). soo,,, yeah you’re not likely to run into sharks at the beach in a lot of places lmao (though i REFUSE to swim in florida. if we saw that many dolphins, there were certainly HELLA sharks there)

and now for my favourite shark week moments from my years of waiting all year for the one week where the discovery channel airs documentaries of science’s new shark discoveries from the year, with reoccuring favourite scientists/cameramen!

the best thing they ever did was definitely the seal toboggan of death. which was what they called a fake seal dummy they dragged behind a boat with a small raft someone with a camera would float on in front of. great whites ambush prey from below, jumping out of the water in spectacular leaps to catch seals. so the cameraman would get incredible shots at their own risk lmao. they have a whole series of documenting these leaps, called air jaws, which is always a highlight. you can watch clips of the seal toboggan of death here! (sidenote: i remember when that footage came out oH MY GOD NOSTALGIA-) but yeah!! best shark week moment imo.

also alien sharks, if you ever get a chance to watch that during shark week definitely do! they pull up sharks from the bottom of the ocean and pretty much discover at least 3 new species per episode!! so that’s cool always dsfjdskflj

As one does!
