Because sometimes what you need most is to watch a sweet little platypus receive pets, tickles, and treats at the Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia.

Here’s the little platypus that’s taking the internet by storm! She’s so playful and loves to be tickled. Don’t worry–only the males have venomous spurs.

This is extra hilarious (aside from cute) because there is a Platypus reference upcoming in OaLC.  😀

predictions for the next mcu phase: valkyrie will cry drunk on a kitchen floor at least once because she wants to hang out with bruce and the hulk at the same time 

Valkyrie, her mighty unbeatable arms wrapped around the hulk whom she has pulled forcibly into her lap: I shouldn’t have gotten drunk!! I can’t protect him!!!

Bruce, who is no longer the Hulk and also naked and covered in debris: what. what happened

Hey you haven’t been around for a while, everything alright?

yeah, just hot and tired and lacking in energy. I’m now 8 months pregnant, and urgh SUMMER IN AUSTRALIA. *suffers a sweltery humid death* Sorry for being a flake. Up-front, I don’t expect I will be any more reliable until after this bub has arrived, tbh. I am hermit-ising like whoa.

Also, if I can be frank, with my emotional (read: hormonal, GAHHHH) walls this thin and volatile, tumblr is just not a great place to be, honestly. There is so much outrage-porn and anger and the like, and I can’t handle it all the way I normally would. I can barely handle the news at the moment, even. 

I am a bit of a wuss rn. Again, sorry. *sheepish look*

I gladly nominate @determamfidd for the Fandom First Friday Follow Forever! In Sansûkh she has crafted the most vibrant, detailed Hobbit/LotR fanfic and given Dwarves the lore they deserve, and has inspired dozens of other writers and artists in turn! As if that weren’t enough, Dets is a delight. She always has something good or encouraging to say to her followers who need it, she’s a positive and fun person, and it’s a treat to see her on my dash!

transformativeworks:

Oh, man, who doesn’t love some really good lore? Thanks for the suggestion, @voxmyriad!

It looks like @determamfidd’s crowning achievement is a WIP Bagginshield and Gimli/Legolas fic called Sansûkh, currently weighing in at over half a million words. There’s even a separate masterpost on her Tumblr with extras and goodies for the fic! She’s also got a classic (E-rated) Marvel Science Boyfriends fic called Irreconcilable Differences that’s over 130k. Those are some serious writing chops!

omfg MYRIAD ❤ thank you, beautiful!

Have a thiiiiing


*gasping*

oh WOW @the-anchorless-moon!!! This is so beautiful! I love her dress, how sparkly she is, and what a GORGEOUS BEARD SHE HAS, that central pearl droplet is such a lovely design and I can so easily see those side-loops being popular…! And what heart-stopping eyes she hasm, lakhsdlamhdlahd this is so beautiful!

I have to say, I am not sure who it is (bc I am a nong) – but I think it is Baris Crystaltongue! She totally looks like she’d be singing ❤
