Hello! I know I am late. But I had scheduled the post and Tumblr decided to not post it. So I have to redo it. Idk it just vanished. And I wasn’t on Tumblr yesterday as I had gone out. So I didn’t even notice.
Yoongi is my bias. He loves so silently. It’s so pretty. He may not tell the whole world. He loves you but he will show it through actions. We stan quiet love in this world.
whether it’s always complimenting Jimin and giving him the love and attention he deserves because sometimes he may feel insecure
when goes along with Taehyung because he knows he loves being silly and affectionate. Even though it’s outside his comfort zone he does it to please Tae
when he always reminds everyone that Jungkook is the best vocalist. He never ever lets anyone forget how proud he is of Jungkook and how talented his boy is.
They are also very much in love with him. Let’s not forget army has to fight BTS to scream Yoongi Marry me!
BTS aren’t the whole idols whipped for Yoongi. Many idols love and admire Yoongi and can’t stop praising him from PSY to Hoshi to TxT. He’s a cat producer collecting idols everywhere he turns
Yoongi loves music. He loves his art form so much. It shows in the work he does. The music he produces. The people he interacts with. His lyrics show so much vulnerability and it’s amazing how passionate he is. If you have never listened to Yoongi’s music. Here is some of my recommendations.
Yoongi has produced and collaborated with many musicians like Halsey, IU, Juice World, Max, PSY and Epik High. They always praise him and talk about how amazing he is. I can’t wait to see how his album turns out. He just loves music so much. It makes me love him more.
Plus he’s well-read, he is a dog dad and he is amazing with words. He really is husband material. He is perfection. He plays the guitar and the piano. He can rap and sing. He is also a fashionsta and breaks gender norms with his fashion. He is just an ideal man. He also donates money anytime he can and he always make sure we his fans know how much he values us. I am very much in love with him. Happy Birthday, Yoongi-ssi. I hope the day is filled with your beautiful smile
yall joke but this is actually a serious conundrun with cladistic-based classification
The choice is this:
Birds are reptiles
Or crocodilians (and probably turtles) ARENT
That’s it, that’s the choice
What if Bird and reptiles are two different things that came from the same thing
Nope
Because you can’t group (lizards, snakes, tuatara, turtles, crocodilians) without also including (birds)
So if you don’t want to include birds in reptiles then you have to leave out some things we’ve called reptiles
birds are dinosaurs though, full stop. we’ve already defined what a dinosaur is and it includes birds. but reptiles isn’t really defined so much as thrown against a wall angrily.
But don’t turtles and alligators have more in common with modern reptiles than modern birds have in common with modern reptiles?
I’m not trying to contradict, I’m trying to understand. Mammals and reptiles have a common ancestor as well, but we do not make them the same group.
It’s not about having things in common. It’s about common ancestry, which is how we classify animals in light of extinct species, which defy trait-based classification.
And, the common ancestor of [lizards, snakes, tuatara, turtles, crocodilians] by definition is also the common ancestor of birds. It is NOT the common ancestor of mammals.
So, either we decide that Tuatara Lizards and Snakes are the only reptiles, or we include birds as reptiles. Or we just decide reptiles are no longer a thing.
don’t throw reptiles against the wall? please? some of them are small and delicate. you could hurt them.
Basically, unless we’re maybe talking massive horizontal gene transfer, everything is still part of the group that came before it.
You are technically a fish.
IIRC the fish thing is so frustrating that scientists have decided fish is just not real cladistic grouping at all
hey could we go back please to the bit where the closest relative of Birds is Crocodiles? bc I am alarmed
Well, technically they’re equally-closely related to crocodiles, alligators, gharials and tomistomas. As archosaurs, they’re all descended from small reptiles that looked something like this
The two main groups of archosaurs are the Pseudosuchia, or crocodile-line archosaurs, and the Ornithodira, or bird-line archosaurs. Both groups were massively diverse in prehistory, with the Pseudosuchia dominating most land-based niches in the Triassic, and the Ornithodira, especially the dinosaurs, doing the same during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. However, most of them have been wiped out due to the Triassic and Cretaceous mass extinctions, leaving them each with only one surviving clade: Aves, the true birds, and Crocodylia, the semiaquatic, ambush predators like crocs and gators.
This entire post sums up everything we’re not allowed to mention in our Vertebrata classes because the last time someone started that argument they had to break up a fistfight.
I’m just hung up on the humans evolving from fish comment.
Like, we evolved from tiny tree-climbing squirrels. To the best of our knowledge.
…which evolved from tiny tree-climbing reptiles
…which evolved from amphibians
…which evolved from fish.
*runs in ten minutes late with a plucked chicken*
BEHOLD A LIZARD
you could have left the feathers on this time tbh
It was already plucked. They just STOLE IT from philosophy 101.
Every turn on this post has been a left, but somehow it hasn’t hit itself, and instead just spiralled outwards like some Ancient Greco-Roman floor design, enveloping taxonomy Tumblr in chaos.
May I recommend the book “why fish don’t exist” by Lulu Miller
imagine catching luffy and zoro snuggled up on each other in the sun while they napped. Luffy sprawled out on top of the marimo who has large, loose hands on the captain’s waist to keep him right where he is laid.
It wouldn’t be the first time either. They’ve been caught like this before plenty of times, but non-the-less it’s the cutest thing in the world to see the big beast of the men that they are snuggled up without a worry in the world. Luffy would have a stupid, sleep drunken smile on his face as he nuzzles closer into Zoro’s neck. While the big man himself loses his scowl, letting his face soften into something youthful and squeezing his captain like a giant teddy bear.
happy to announce that my latest bout of dreaming about tumblr induced in me the conviction that tumblr had just instituted a “pet” button that appeared below all pictures of an animal so that tumblr users could pet the animal. the most notable use of this was a post with a picture of a porcupine that had a thread of users below it saying ‘ouch’
