I love them so much because they’re about as sharp as a baseball and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as plankton for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution can’t stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that they’re massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there like ‘oh bother’ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish they’re really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because they’re like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
So basically the only reason natural selection hasn’t taken care if them is because they are the most useless fish
yes, they’ve perfected uselessness to the point of being unstoppable
Store is finally open! Preorders are now available for the acrylic keychain version of my Yuri on Wheels set and the Houseki no Kuni pendants. I’ve also put out some older items on discount! Happy shopping!
One of Victor’s favoritest things in the world is when Yuuri pronounces his name with four syllables instead of two, especially while sleepy or cuddly. All it takes is one sweetly drawn-out “Vi-ku-tou-ruuu” and Victor is putty in Yuuri’s hands. He would figure out a way to pluck the moon directly from the sky if Yuuri asked for it.
Oh fuck
This is why he doesn’t ask Yuuri to call him Vitya or any other Russian diminutive because Yuuri saying Victor in that very distinctive very Japanese very Yuuri way scratches that itch better then any another nickname.
Because Yuuri’s family call him Vicchan (or Nikiforov in Mari’s case) and he’s Vitya or Victor to everyone else but he’s Yuuri’s Victoru and that makes him fall to pieces every time
