Why you shouldn’t put goldfish in a bowl – WTF fun facts

By the way, bettas are the same. It’s a myth that they live  in puddles. Wild bettas live in rice patties that look like this: 

And you know how males fight in captivity? Yeah see, in the wild, each male betta has a territory of roughly one square meter [X]. That’s over 260 gallons of water per betta! Of course they’ll fight in a tiny 1 gallon tank! (The myth about puddles exists because, in the dry season, a betta may get trapped in a puddle, and it is equipped to survive that, but only for a short period of time). Also, notice how much is growing in that water – bettas need a lot of places to hide in and rest on, not just a single bamboo shoot in  the center of a vase! They will get stressed and even more aggressive without the hides. 

Fish are animals just like your other pets. Do your research before buying and treat them appropriately. If you can’t afford a proper betta or goldfish set up (at LEAST 5 gallons for a betta with a heater and hides, at LEAST 20 gallons for a goldfish with a strong filtering system and NO GRAVEL, and I recommend adding at least 10 gallons to those minimums for healthy and happy fish), don’t get one. They are living things, not decor pieces.

anti-bakudeku:

i hate that anti-bakudekus reduce izuku’s traits into trauma.
izuku’s sensitivity is something that’s different than a lot of male protagonists, though im sure there are more out there just like him.
usually i see loud, perverted, outgoing guys; but izuku is kind, soft spoken, and a little shy.

saying that it’s trauma is putting these qualities in a bad light and that they are not good or even traits he developed on his own. so now they’re negative products of his “abuse” by katsuki, instead of the good positive message that its ok and normal for boys to be shy, nervous and emotional.

so i dont usually smoke cigarettes (it’s a “once in a blue moon” kind of thing) but when i do i like to put on a coat of my shimmering pink chapstick so there’s a pink mark around the filter when i take a drag. makes me feel some kind of way i dont know how to describe. but it’s nice.
