If musquitoes sucked fat instead of blood, life would be so much better.
yall, i realized something revolutionary with Ford’s hands (just innocent handholding :] )
the normal human hand has only 4 interdigital spaces from in between the fingers, which means that Ford has 5 spaces if that makes sense.
so when you hold hands with Ford, that extra finger is going to allow his hand to cover your hand on both sides completely engulfing your hand within his!
of course Ford never saw it that way and would always keep the extra finger out thanks to his past insecurity, but you would always wiggle your fingers with a smile and say that the two of you are like a perfect puzzle piece matched together!
the small joke but cute observation of your hands perfectly fitting would make all of his worries wash away and you watch his shoulders relax below his jawline. he will totally get obsessed with this inside joke every time you held hands, in fact ever since then he looks forward to locking your hands within his!
he is such a sweet man with many odd insecurities, but he will see you as the light of his life when you come around. Btw he totally holds your hand in public proud like never before!

Not to start any political discourse but I’m REALLY gay 🌿🍄
Me: *dresses as stereotypically gay as possible*
Me: I hope another gay notices me
There’s no such thing as a jellyfish.
From the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute: "By all accounts, jellyfish are creatures that kill people, eat microbes, grow to tens of meters, filter phytoplankton, take over ecosystems, and live forever. Because of the immense diversity of gelatinous plankton, jelly-like creatures can individually have each of these properties. However this way of looking at them both overstates and underestimates their true diversity. Taxonomically, they are far more varied than a handful of exemplars that are used to represent jellyfish or especially the so-called “true” jellyfish. Ecologically, they are even more adaptable than one would expect by looking only at the conspicuous bloom forming families and species that draw most of the attention. In reality, the most abundant and diverse gelatinous groups in the ocean are not the ones that anyone ever sees.“

Sea otters and giant river otters are like if someone got two artists to design a giant otter, but ended up with two very different ideas on what they should look like cause one draws hello kitty fanart and the other was a nihilist.
