I had a dream last night that Neko Atsume added a new food item called “Shitty Bitz” and buying it gave you fish instead of the other way ‘round but it put it out as soon as you bought it and you couldn’t replace it and it took forever to get emptied out (the only way to get rid of it) because it would only attract two cats and their names were Hobo and Glunkus but also that was the only way to get those two cats to show up. Hobo looked like a kinda dirty brown cat and Glunkus looked like the devil like he was black and his entire face was teeth. I woke up crying
that was a fun idea until you described Glunkus holy shit
fuck those “200 words to use more often in writing!” lists. the point of a really GOOD word is that you only get to use it every so often, when it’s exactly the perfect word to use. sort of like killing ordinary goblins with a regular short knife most of the time, and only reaching for the ancestral blade your father bequeathed to you in his dying hour when you have to defeat the Goblin Overlord.
bad analogy, the ancestral blade my father bequeathed to me has a spell on it that makes it immune to dulling or breakage from use. i’ll kill a goblin with it i’ll kill the goblin’s king with it i’ll cut my damn sandwiches in half with it because they’re easier to eat that way
i understand that your father bequeathed you a good ass sword, but in my experience ancestral blades break quite easily and deserve cautious use. anyways my point you shouldn’t use the word “vertiginous” in a sentence unless you really need to but its fun when you can
what i find vertiginous is these shitty fuckin swords ya’lls dads are giving you
I’m going to preface this by saying that I am not actually responsible for pelicans and their multitude of weirdnesses, so I will be explaining on behalf of someone else, not myself. Just…. to clarify.
SO, PELICANS. They’ve actually got the longest beak length of any bird (not beak-to-body ratio, of course, because hummingbirds have got that one under control) and their gular pouch, as it is called, is not just a floppy sack to scoop dinner up with – it’s actually got a super complicated network of muscles spread throughout. Mainly to force water in or out while scooping up fish or whatever. Like any functional body part, periodic stretching and moving of the muscles and skin is needed to keep it in excellent working order.
tl;dr this pelican is doing pelican yoga before going out and wreaking havoc
