A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.

A black cat sitting mostly submerged in a pond, surrounded by foliage and flowers. Only his eyes, ears and tail are visible. Around it says: I hope this email doesn’t find you. I hope you’ve escaped and now you’re free.

Good morning

Disgusted face/interest face meme with the following scenario: disgusted face: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) interested face: PLAGIARIZED INFORMATION SYNTHESIS SYSTEM (PISS)

A terminology proposal:

8 stylized cat heads are arranged in a square with pawprints scattered around them. The text "meow!" sits at the bottom of the image. The background is a light mauve, and the overall palette is warm and sepia-toned. There is a variety of breeds and colors, including a tortoiseshell Maine Coon, a Sphynx, a white Persian, and a calico Scottish Fold. There is also a cat with a cropped ear representing rescue cats who have been through the TNR program.

Cats Cats Cats.
I love to draw them.

Two skeleton shrimps are holding tightly to rustic red algae. The skeleton shrimp on the left side is in focus and closer to the viewer. The shrimp on the right side is standing farther away, slightly blending into the black and hazy red blurred background. Text on the image in the upper left corner says Krill Waves Radio with a shrimp icon and in the lower left corner says 2 hours of cleaner shrimp to race and head bang to.

From the people who brought you chill Krill Waves Radio comes our new KrillER Waves Radio: one hour of skeleton shrimp and metal music to headbang to! 🤘🎵

An image titled “steal their look: shrimp edition” displays a photo of a peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus). The close up photo of the shrimp highlights their round fly-like eyes and their colorful claws and antennas. Illustrated assets surrounding the photo in the center provide recommendations on how to look like this shrimp. The suggested items are: blue eyeshadow, a tie-dye shirt, a pair of disco sunglasses, boxing gloves, and a fringed jacket. On the lower left corner of the image, the Monterey Bay Aquarium logo is positioned as a watermark.

Make a great first shrimpression with these shrimpeccable looks. Whether you're shrimply fabulous or krilling it on the runway, these shrimpspired outfits will have you feeling oh-so-shellfishly chic! 🦐✨

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

Wood frog. This year's Valentine's Day comic.

"Maybe the eldritch horrors were the friends we made along the way"

If you tell someone to “Google it” at this point you’re telling them to look up five ads and some AI-generated bs instead of the actual thing they want to know.

*old guy takes long hit on the bong*

“Back in my day, search engines used to find things besides the wreckage of late-stage capitalism.”

oh i'm really good at comprehending horrors let me have a look

even if the live action baldur's gate 3 rumours were real no live action adaptation would ever come close to reproducing this kind of energy or these expressions

A vibrant pelagic red crab is perched on a rocky outcrop, with its large claws and legs spread out to balance the crab on the uneven surface. In the blurred background, a row of pink strawberry anemone is spread like pink polka dots on the rocky surface behind the crab.

A profile view close-up of a rainbow surfperch, showcasing its intricate scales in shades of orange, light blue, and gray against a pitch black background.

Perched up in a profile view, the close up of a Yellowheaded moray eel shows the fish with its mouth slightly ajar, highlighting its distinctive yellow head adorned with dark, almost purple spots, against its light-hued skin.

A green sea turtle glides through the open sea exhibit, with front flippers elegantly outstretched, revealing its captivating underside against the vibrant blue backdrop.
