cats can open their mouth and deliver a 'fish blast.' this supremely lowers the morale of everyone in the radius
In my opinion the human body gets dehydrated too easily.
Also when it wants water it’s a secret for some fucking reason.

god I wish I had a pair of menacing black gauntlets with really sharp fingertip claws I bet it feels good as fuck to have your hands resting palm-down on a surface and then scratch some deep fucking gashes into it as you clench your hand a little closer to a fist when your evil minion delivers some bad news to you
ohhh fuck yeah, you understand
One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.
Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”
Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.
person who knows how logistical things works has picked up the cannon, hefted it thoughtfully, and put a single chalk mark precisely on the problem.
ship wars are dumb. Polyamory and aromanticism are easy, simple, and effective solutions
I don't see how polyamory or aromanticism could patch up the holes in my hull but if you say so
#i would like to know more about the application of polyamory and aromanticism in damage control (via @boatcats)
Polyamory: many hands are available to thrum and fother a sail.
Aromanticism: those hands are not preoccupied from their thrumming and fothering by tender and/or ardent handholding.
Asexuality (you didn't ask for it but you get it anyway): those hands are not distracted from their thrumming by, ahem, thrumming.
And there we have it, the real reason sodomy was officially prohibited by the Royal Navy. Hope that helps!
I’m gonna get you >:)
"But what can I DO?"
Do one thing.
Start there, do ONE thing to help. Take an active role in bettering your little corner of the world by solving One Small Problem, whatever it might be.
It may not fix Everything, but it fixes Something. One less thing is broken. One less task needs doing. One less place is uncared for. One less heart is heavy. One less stomach is empty. One less voice is silent.
And that is not nothing.
