ALAS, IVE FALLEN INTO YOUR TRAP!!

But yeah. Guitarfish are rays!!

One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between shark and ray species is gill placement. Sharks have gills on the side, rays have gills on top!

You can also look behind their eyes for the presence of spiracles. Those are what help them pull water in from above them to push water over their gills beneath them! Sawfish are species of rays, saw sharks are species of sharks!

We actually have two species of guitarfish at work (Atlantic/giant shovelnose guitarfish and bowmouth guitarfish) and they’re sooooo funny

Babe i don’t mean to be THAT GUY but bowmouth guitarfish aren’t sharks they are rays…………

I’m SO SORRY

Huzzah, you identified it for me too! >:) Thanks for the info, I quite literally had ZERO idea who that big fella was. Sometimes rays look like sharks and sharks look like rays, that’s how it goes and we adapt accordingly!

Something on my mind related to Sonic 3 grossing higher than Mufasa

I think it’s hilarious. Obviously. Disney has to stop making live action movies and adaptations (yes I know it’s technically animation and not live action but there’s not a good word to describe it). I get Mufasa is technically not a remake of anything previous but it’s so annoying to see them prioritizing realism over their roots in cartoons. I just saw a poster for live action Snow White

I have my gripes about the Sonic movie’s lip syncing and expressions but it’s still more endearing than whatever 2019 Lion King did, and probably better than Mufasa. I haven’t seen it but knowing how the last one went, I doubt they improved on the issues with emotion and expressions judging by the trailers

But Mufasa grossing lower isn’t going to teach them anything. It’s Disney, they have the money to ignore it and keep doing whatever they want. It has to be a long, consistent loss for them for them to actually realize that people and their target audience of children aren’t looking for that from Disney

Sonic 3 was great don’t give Disney money <3

- The work truck that had a toy truck of the same kind strapped on its bed

- My work. I never would’ve gotten a job like this if I stayed in my old state

- The kind woman that greeted me every morning when I got my breakfast. I think she’s working somewhere else now, I hope she’s doing great

- The woman today who lingered as I scanned her and her kids’ tickets and they ran into the aquarium. She paused and asked me how I was doing. She told me “I have a message from my father in heaven. He loves you.” She told me to continue having a blessed day

- The woman in a wheelchair jamming out to a rave behind me

- Related to above, the toddlers on their parents’ shoulders also jamming out to said rave

- The police officer (ACAB) holding an assault rifle admiring the stingrays

- The two mall cops who stared at the stingrays while the rest of them tried to investigate the source of the smoke coming from the bathrooms

- The man at the pizza joint who saw me dancing to his boombox

- The same man who mimicked the poster next to him from an old movie by picking up that boombox and lifting it over his head

Things I Like Here.

So I moved from my childhood state a few years ago and I’ve been struggling with adjusting ever since, largely because of the drastic negative change in my social life. But life is beautiful, so I wanted to make a list of things I’ve seen since moving here that I couldn’t get back home! You have to appreciate the little things in life. I’m gonna periodically add more as I see them

- “The Oven Bus” which is just a bus with a brick chimney in it. I wanna know what’s going on in there so badly

- All of the sunsets here are beautiful without fail. Don’t matter what time they happen, even if it’s at 4, it’s beautiful. There’s so many colours in them

- The sign I drive past on the way to work that says “WALTZ IS FOR MURDERING THE UNBORN.” I don’t agree with it but it’s fucking hilarious to see, because it’s in the middle of nowhere

- Related, since we live out in the country now, the pro-life religious bulletins that have the most CGI looking babies on them. Like that baby is not real. Honey

- I almost got into an accident once because there are so many dogs down a 55 MPH road that I just kept looking at the dogs

- The church that has six doors outside on their lawn that say “GOD’S DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL”

- The church that has a progress flag on its flag post and a BLM flag flying under it. I went there once and it’s full of old people. They were so kind. I want to go back there again

- The kind lady at the Chinese takeout restaurant down the road from us who stayed when the restaurant was empty so I could pick up my order. I wanted my brother to get it but he bailed last minute

- The grocery store down the street that my family has wildly different pronunciations of. It’s within walking distance. I’ve never had that before

- The man today who accidentally bought two tickets for himself. Instead of refunding one, he wanted to give away the other one for free

- The mall Santa I see around Christmas time when he’s on his break. Just walking around. High socks and shorts with a Christmas theme, he’s great

- The little girl yesterday who told me she would get a dog and a fish. When I asked her what she would name the dog, she said “Rainbow Pup”

- The parents who use they/them to refer to me. Even though I personally don’t use those pronouns and don’t like them when they’re used in reference to me, it’s a sign of progress

- The little girl whose parents I sold an annual pass to. I’ve seen her four times. She recognizes me each time and runs to give me a hug

- The toddler who tried to hand me her half-eaten cinnamon-dusted timbit when I asked her for a high five

- The kind people at KwikTrip who never look like they don’t want to be there

- My supervisor who shrieks whenever he walks by me because that’s how I greet people so he’s started greeting me like that as well. He’s an absolute truck of a man who looks like Thor

Transing your gender is a promotion…

with merfolk, do you think birthing process would function similar to seahorses, i say this with no other basis than the chosen tails in one of your edits

As my merfolk are humans, they have a human way of reproducing! That is to say that the baby develops in a womb and not a pouch akin to what male seahorses have. No mpreg, sorry ^^' They do have some other "quirks" though, like that some merfolk with the bodies of certain fish species can change their sex! There was no other reason for this but that some fishes do it and I think it would be cool if there were societies where humans sometimes did that.

Other interpretations of mermaids can do it differently of course. I remember that they mention merfolk reproducing like seahorses with males carrying the babies in Monster Prom!
