This Has Been Bothering Me. I Know People Have Responded Saying That You Act In A Motherly Way Towards

When Wolffe meets Omega

Wolffe: looks between Omega and Rex with a stern look

Rex: ….

Wolffe: Rex, who did you fuck?

Rex: W-WHAT?!?!

Wolffe: Did I stutter?

Rex: ….I-

Wolffe: CT-7567. Who. Did. You. Fuck?

Rex: I didn’t-

Wolffe: We TALKED about this! You should ALWAYS use protection! Are you paying child support? Does her mother know about you taking her on dangerous missions? Is her mother still around? Are you a single father? WHO DID YOU FUCK REX?!?!

Rex: Who is still a virgin because he was too busy and dedicated to his job, and too much of a socially awkward penguin to bang anyone. I DIDN’T- SHE’S NOT MINE! SHE’S HIS! points to Hunter

Wolffe: Grabs Rex by the collar Don’t you dare lie to me you little shit!

Wolffe and Rex continue this back and forth while Gregor and Echo are laughing their asses off, Hunter is barely holding in his laughter.

Omega: I like Wolffe, he’s funny!

AAAAAAAAAA

OH MY GOSH ITS SO TINY

It looks like a gumdrop. I wanna smoosh it so bad but it wouldn’t recover so I won’t.

Here’s the paper that describes this species holotype!! Mycena subcyanocephala from Latin, literally “little blue-head” (don’t quote me on that, it’s been a few years since I reviewed my Latin). It’s a new species, so we don’t know much about it yet. BUT they belong to the Mycena genus, which is potentially one of the coolest fungi clades around!! It’s one of the most prolific genera of fungi, and is native to nearly every continent! They’re also some of the smallest mushrooms in the world. They tend to be no bigger than a few centimeters in cap diameter, so many species have cute common names like “pixie’s parasol”!

And if you thought being a common sort of mushroom made them boring, you’d be sorely mistaken because they’re one of the genera that contains bioluminescent species!!! Of the 500 known species, around 58 glow with this absolutely ethereal, chemically-generated glow called foxfire. They do this by introducing oxygen to luciferin, a protein that produces light when this reaction occurs using the enzyme luciferase as a reaction site. Absolutely magical!! I wonder if our littol gumdrop friend is one of the 58!!

I don’t wanna bore y’all with a lecture on bioluminescence, even though it’s one of THE COOLEST things in nature (and that’s saying a lot), so have some pictures of foxfire instead <3333

(pssssssstt thanks for sharing your shroom pics with me @blithe-imperial-underling and @imperial-strategist )

You can learn more about Mycena here (sorry it’s just Wikipedia, it was kinda hard to find an overview article quickly) and you can learn more about bioluminescence in fungi here!

You are correct, @theartgremlin​. I am always watching, and I found your biology lesson very interesting. My aide has a particular interest in mycology, and she was intrigued when I forwarded the information I intercepted about the microscopic predators from your planet. She shared an interesting bit of fungi with me as a result. This is one she thought I would appreciate due to its coloring resembling those of my old GAR legion.

But I should have known by the look on her face that Lieutenant Blithe had more to show me than just that one holopic. The next image she showed me was even better. Just like your microscopic worms, it was the size of this organism that was the most interesting.

The orginal post containing these extraordinary images can be found here.

Yes I know the big bowie knives aren’t meant for fighting. There’s a good reason I picked it, I promise!!

A commission of @theogfulcrum22 ‘s OC Elara McTavash! She’s Hunter Bad Batch’s sweetheart and is featured in this fic. I haven’t read it yet, but I intend to soon! Fulcrum is an excellent author and I’ve fallen in love with Elara already!!

Sometimes I question the clone wars artists for how they decided to make armor. It’s cool as all get out, but why do the elbow and knee pads open outwards when the men are running into battle with their arms and legs bent most of the time? it leaves a big gap. It’s a wonder we don’t see more guys shot in the elbows and knees!

Anyway, the Alpha sketch is progressing nicely! Now for his silly pantaloon-kama

Wrecker has cuteness aggression. Sometimes he just gotta snatch her up and give her a BIG SQEEZE!!!

Except that you’re beating the hell outta yourself. Is that a compliment or an insult?

sigh… fine, I’ll do it myself

✨🌈☀️ send this to ten people you’re happy to see every time they pop up on your dash/notif & wish them a good day 🌟🌈🦈

It makes me happy to see you too!!
