I mostly just obsess over fictional characters, reblog ship art, and post the pictures I take of cool animals. Enjoy.

I think it’s interesting how they’re both Y7 but have completely diff views
Nobody asked but my thoughts about these are below + a clip from a wk episode about it
Octonauts’ setting is a double edged sword- because they give every organism a voice, they can make people empathize with bacteria, coral, and other things people forget to see as living beings. However, that also means they portray consumers/predators as the bad guys, even when they try not to have a bias. Which means for when the urchins had to be eaten, they couldn’t be portrayed as alive (or at least at the same level of consciousness as other animals).
For the record, I do think their setting of making every animal talk is good for helping others understand issues a species might face, especially for man-made causes like pollution and climate change which the show covers. it’s definitely something I think should be taught bc I still know a lot of people my age or older who end up mistreating animals simply because they don’t communicate in the same way we do.
On the flip side, Wk uses predator/prey relationships to show off the different abilities an animal has. I was honestly very surprised with how they handled the topic of death? For a couple animals, their life cycle is taught by following a particular individual of the species, from the start of their journey to the day they die. And even though they passed on, their offspring can continue the journey their parents started. I think that’s a good way to look at it imo. Every animal has a role, and even in death their life is not wasted. They even bring up the fact it can be dangerous to be a predator, since prey animals have developed a bunch of defense mechanisms, and losing to those could mean dying. I’m glad they cover death along with life, and they handle it well considering it’s a tricky subject esp for a younger audience. I think it can be summarized well in this clip from the king cobra episode
They also touch on it in the episode where kid musky is introduced (forgot the name but Chris basically goes on a monologue abt the human perspective on prey/predator relationships and how hard it can be to watch. I thought that was neat)
That being said: I do think sometimes the deaths are a little mean, and the fact they’re so comfortable with it after s1 sort of gives you a shock when you remember the rating. Like we JUST met and named the snake in the clip and then bro dies🫡 not to mention the life cycle episodes getting us attached to an animal for 22 minutes and then they die at the end. Juice’s death was even played for comedic effect (at least I think it was. It made me laugh. Maybe that’s just me LMAO)
TLDR: both methods are good for diff aspects of wildlife education but I think wk handles it in a better way esp when they consider the fact that humans are outsiders to it. Send post
Wild Kratts art in 2025??
@what-is-my-aesthetic ‘s Wild Kratts video made me nostalgic for this series I liked when I was younger, I went back to watch a couple episodes, and whoops suddenly I’m working my way through S3. Wanted to draw the WK crew in my style.

ISOPOD MY LOVE
Mermay Day 10: Giant Isopod
Giant isopods are deep-sea crustaceans that look like enormous, armored pillbugs, some growing up to 20 inches long-a result of deep-sea gigantism. These slow-moving scavengers can survive years without food, feasting on dead animals that fall to the ocean floor and curling into a protective ball when threatened. With ancient origins and unique adaptations, giant isopods are among the most intriguing and mysterious inhabitants of the deep ocean.
(Oh to be a bug girl, taking a nap 💙)
a second chance (been thinking about hunter's apprenticeship a lot lately)
I- what- I don’t- um- help???? Wheelchair????? Hot???????
who gave you the right to be so beautiful, sir
I LOVE IT
What is this? A crossover episode???
You guys my ear is clogged because I have a stupid brain and my entire body hates me and my adhd brain literally WILL NOT allow me to FUNCTION because my ear feels SLIGHTLY UNCOMFY and it sounds stupid but this might actually be my last straw like I’m so done with everything I don’t wanna have a physical body anymore it just hurts all the time and I hate everything and nothing ever goes right and I can’t remember the last time I was genuinely happy and I don’t know what to do anymore I need help
I’m obsessed with this actually
Isn't it neat~
Prints!
I really appreciate the clarification that your specific land-crawling sharks DO in fact like to eat humans (as currently existing sharks do not in fact like to eat or bite humans and it really pisses me off when people assume all sharks operate by Jaws Logic and are bloodthirsty monsters)
You have to choose a new animal to exist on earth right now but it HAS to be both as aggressive and dangerous to humans as a hippopotamus.

AJR is so fun and silly until you still lie awake at night thinking about “I gotta get better I’m all that I’ve got” after over a year

There is a spectrum of consumption of the media. I’m currently inhaling it like Kirby i fear.
"consuming media" is such an overstatement. at best I'm sipping it
HUNTLOW CATS HUNTLOW CATS HUNTL
The Owl Cats 🦉🐈
What? A Manque post that’s not Vocaloid? More likely than you’d think
The Owl House AU where everything is pretty much the same except they’re at Hogwarts/The Wizarding World instead of Hexside/The Demon Realm:
Willow’s a Gryffindor, Gus is a Ravenclaw, Amity’s a Slytherin, and Hunter is a Hufflepuff. No I will not take criticism. (That’s a joke I probably will.)
Luz is a muggle who obviously doesn’t have any magical powers but she is able to like see magic?? Yknow how in the books it talks about how part of the reason the wizarding world is able to stay hidden is just because most muggles simply don’t notice what they don’t wish to see? Well Luz does wish to see magic because she’s a weirdo (affectionate) so she does see it and then one day she finally manages to like get into hogwarts or something idk.
Hunter works for Voldemort instead of the emperor?? He infiltrates Hogwarts like he does Hexside and decides to choose Hufflepuff because 1. He likes the color yellow 2. He is loyal to the emperor Lord Voldemort?
If I was halfway decent at writing fanfiction I would definitely wanna write this into a fic
