Golden tortoise beetle transforming from gold to red
What
When your 24 hour premium skin wears off
Alright, y'all. Bug nerd here. Yes, this is real. This is Charidotella sexpunctata. It’s able change color like this by filling and emptying its elytra (the wing covers) with water. The mirror-like gold effect is caused by it forcing water into separate layers of its elytra, smoothing them out to the point where they actually reflect light. By drawing the water out, the red pigment beneath is exposed. They do this whenever they’re disturbed as a defense mechanism, likely to mimic foul tasting lady beetles.
So, there’s a fun fact.
A spy
DP x DC prompt:
After Superman’s initial rejection of his very existence, Connor runs away, hoping to find someone, somewhere, that’s willing to help him despite what he is.
Several months later, a popular band is going on tour. They came out of nowhere, yet immediately became a fan favorite despite the fact that they consisted solely of teenagers.
They call themselves “The King And The Clones”.
Love how in dc x dp fanfic some authors make Lady Gotham enamored with the batfam. Whether its motherly or she's straight up in love with Bruce.
Would be absolutely hilarious though if upon Danny's first meeting with Batman, he just goes "oh, you're Lady Gotham's boy toy!" which causes unintentional chaos
Lady Gotham has claimed him as her beloved and she patiently watches over him until his time to die comes and allows them to be together. She won't let death take him early, he still has too much to do. She waxes longing poetry about him and everyone in the GZ is sick of it. She changed her title from "lady" to "dame" to match his title of knight. They are basically married already and Bruce has no idea
Dick once joked that Batman's one true love was Gotham and Dick is absolutely laughing now
She calls Jason her prince. She loves all the bats but he was the first one born and raised on Gotham proper. Jason has had a ghost coronet sitting on his head for years and the only person who told him was the guy who just accidentally utterly destroyed Batman with a comment less than a minute ago. Jason isnt laughing anymore. Dick laughs harder
Gotham can't even fully claim Dick as her own without starting beef with the up and coming spirit of Bludhaven. Nightwing is contested territory.
(Non-Angsty) Ghost King Danny
I have other ideas which are far angstier for a ghost king!Danny but I haven’t drawn any of them… yet
Best thing about dinosaurs?
How weird they are (hummingbirds, lambeosaurs, penguins, so many more)
How diverse they are (20,000 living species, countless extinct ones)
How big they can be (argentinosaurus and patagotitan)
How small they can be! (bee hummingbird and more)
How smart they can be (corvids, pigeons, and parrots)
How resilient they are (240 million years of awesomeness)
How interesting their evolution is (we know so much about it!)
How beautiful they are (Microraptor, Nicobar Pigeons, birds of paradise)
How adaptable they are (birds and nonavians have been found literally everywhere
How important they are (to science & to the biosphere itself)
See Resultsno way for mammal bias to hack this poll! nyeheheheh
It's not just the small feathery ones that are beautiful. I look at an Ankylosaur, that's beautiful to me.

stop reblogging this i can’t be known for this
I keep thinking of Dash being impressed or straight up horrified by Danny’s knowledge of space. Here’s an example;
Dash: You know what’s better than space? Time travel!
Danny: Technically, we’ve already made a step towards that. When you look at the stars, you’re looking at it possibly 20 years ago, most likely longer. Since light still travels at a certain speed, and there’s a massive distance between us and those stars, we’re basically looking at the past. Even when you look at our own sun, you’re looking at it 9 or 10 minutes ago!
Dash: That’s... actually really cool. Wait, so if aliens were real, and they looked at us, would they not see us as we are now?
Danny: Hypothetically, no. They’d probably see the dinosaurs if they’re far away enough.
Dash: I don’t know what “hypo-whatever-you-said” means, but cool!
Danny: Yeah! It’s pretty crazy how half the time you’re stargazing, you’re basically looking at a bunch of corpses! *walks away*
Dash: ....
