danny phantom au but sam is genderfluid and instead of constantly pushing being a vegan on people they’re respectful of other people’s life choices, along with hating people for their actions and not how much they care about their appearances
You know, most animals that sing just do so in order to defend territory or attract a mate. Humans and a few other animals do it just for fun but a lot don’t.
What if, following the humans are weird thing, most intelligent species in the universe either don’t sing or just sing to flirt or start arguments so when they encounter humans they’re really confused.
Like? They just sing randomly? They actually plan out their singing and there are humans that train for it and make careers out of it? The humans use singing for teaching and expressing emotions other than lust or aggression?
And humans sing in order to remember things easily, lull other humans to sleep, calm themselves down, express every emotion they might have, and even more. And all of this is so confusing to the aliens.
And then you have the musical theater weirdos who actually do use music for combat…
hey i almost forgot, i used the herbarium’s photography setup to take Super High Res Images of those really cool bisected Stylites specimens! i still need to process the images to a more accessible format (theyre photoshop files right now) but it’s crazy, you can see the primitive vascular trace up the middle and what looks like a couple similarly primitive different woody tissues. i need to read up more on isoetale anatomy to be able to tell whats what, but its pretty goddamn cool just seeing the inside a bit closer.
these are lower quality bc theyre screenshots but this is prob my fave image. look at the weird little pore structures right below the leaves- i can’t tell if those are like, sieve tubes or xylem bc the corm/rhizome woody thing is technically a modified stem and the pores taper off into the line down the center of the plant that i’m assuming is the main vascular trace so like maybe, but like at the same time these plants literally evolved before roots were a thing (those ‘roots’ that u see are not roots, but in fact modified leaves bc they never learned how to make modern roots with root hairs and specialized root tissues, thats how fucking old they are) so like can we even compare the anatomy of this to a modern plant in any capacity? what is even happening here? what the hell is this? i love it
