Okay, So Apparently These Exist? And They’re The Perfect Size For An Itty Bitty Omega To Cuddle?? C’mon,

Y’all are gonna hate me for this one…

This “sketch” has taken me 6 hours. I really need to learn to chill; not everything needs to be publishing quality 😂

When Wolffe meets Omega

Wolffe: looks between Omega and Rex with a stern look

Rex: ….

Wolffe: Rex, who did you fuck?

Rex: W-WHAT?!?!

Wolffe: Did I stutter?

Rex: ….I-

Wolffe: CT-7567. Who. Did. You. Fuck?

Rex: I didn’t-

Wolffe: We TALKED about this! You should ALWAYS use protection! Are you paying child support? Does her mother know about you taking her on dangerous missions? Is her mother still around? Are you a single father? WHO DID YOU FUCK REX?!?!

Rex: Who is still a virgin because he was too busy and dedicated to his job, and too much of a socially awkward penguin to bang anyone. I DIDN’T- SHE’S NOT MINE! SHE’S HIS! points to Hunter

Wolffe: Grabs Rex by the collar Don’t you dare lie to me you little shit!

Wolffe and Rex continue this back and forth while Gregor and Echo are laughing their asses off, Hunter is barely holding in his laughter.

Omega: I like Wolffe, he’s funny!

AAAAAAAAAA

OH MY GOSH ITS SO TINY

It looks like a gumdrop. I wanna smoosh it so bad but it wouldn’t recover so I won’t.

Here’s the paper that describes this species holotype!! Mycena subcyanocephala from Latin, literally “little blue-head” (don’t quote me on that, it’s been a few years since I reviewed my Latin). It’s a new species, so we don’t know much about it yet. BUT they belong to the Mycena genus, which is potentially one of the coolest fungi clades around!! It’s one of the most prolific genera of fungi, and is native to nearly every continent! They’re also some of the smallest mushrooms in the world. They tend to be no bigger than a few centimeters in cap diameter, so many species have cute common names like “pixie’s parasol”!

And if you thought being a common sort of mushroom made them boring, you’d be sorely mistaken because they’re one of the genera that contains bioluminescent species!!! Of the 500 known species, around 58 glow with this absolutely ethereal, chemically-generated glow called foxfire. They do this by introducing oxygen to luciferin, a protein that produces light when this reaction occurs using the enzyme luciferase as a reaction site. Absolutely magical!! I wonder if our littol gumdrop friend is one of the 58!!

I don’t wanna bore y’all with a lecture on bioluminescence, even though it’s one of THE COOLEST things in nature (and that’s saying a lot), so have some pictures of foxfire instead <3333

(pssssssstt thanks for sharing your shroom pics with me @blithe-imperial-underling and @imperial-strategist )

You can learn more about Mycena here (sorry it’s just Wikipedia, it was kinda hard to find an overview article quickly) and you can learn more about bioluminescence in fungi here!

You are correct, @theartgremlin​. I am always watching, and I found your biology lesson very interesting. My aide has a particular interest in mycology, and she was intrigued when I forwarded the information I intercepted about the microscopic predators from your planet. She shared an interesting bit of fungi with me as a result. This is one she thought I would appreciate due to its coloring resembling those of my old GAR legion.

But I should have known by the look on her face that Lieutenant Blithe had more to show me than just that one holopic. The next image she showed me was even better. Just like your microscopic worms, it was the size of this organism that was the most interesting.

The orginal post containing these extraordinary images can be found here.

I’m… not sure I’ll survive.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the man to death, but I’m a timid lil artist who likes sweets and working with pet fish. I’m really not his type 😅

Stolen from twitter bc I need to see everyone's answers

@stormyblue90 LOOK AT THIS INSANITY.

Your dialogue is still gold, btw 🤣

Discord shenaniganery led to some fun speculation about tbb season 3, and I just had to turn @stormyblue90 s goofy dialogue idea into a comic XD

Drawing all the expressions was an absolute blast! I’ve been spamming the discord WIP channel with them for weeks

Relatively new, yes. I think I’ve only been here for three-ish months? Something like that

I’ve been wondering: what’s your favorite way to tease each of your brothers? I know you really lay it on thick with the height thing for Hunter, but is that your favorite annoyance tactic? Or do you have another way that makes him react better? And what about Tech? How do you get him going? Challenging Wrecker with games and then rubbing your win in his face works for Wrecker because he’s competitive, but you don’t really have a leg up on Tech like that. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen you use a clever tactic against Tech before…
