I had this brilliant idea...

@justdoodlekat ! It's you! XD

I noticed how frequently you use those cat memes. And well, when your OC dropped... I had an idea...

Holy crap, She-Hulk's werewolf boyfriend is THAT John Jameson?! I always just assumed it was just a case of a very common name.

The most frustrating fights are the ones where you know the other guy is meeting you honestly. Amazing Spiderman 42

A fantastic point! Never made the connection to the real world 'everyman' duelist, but it makes so much sense.

Although I did always think it was hilarious that in a universe where chance outcomes can be demonstrably affected by circumstances (morality, determination, rule of cool...), a guy with neither destiny nor money on his side pulled ahead of the competition by *building a deck around gambling.*

big fan of how much of a bitch he is

That's crazy, you have this person who is basically family, and there's no indication of that when you talk to or about them? I didn't even know that was not a thing for some people, let alone that it was a race thing. Granted I'm white so I can't speak to non-white POVs but if you'd asked me 5 minutes ago I would have told you that Auntie/Uncle FamilyFriend was universal.

Seeing white people in fiction call friends of their parents "Uncle/Aunt ___" wigs me out because I have never done that a day in my life and I don't know any other white people who do that. We don't even do this with my sister's godparents. They're just like, George and Melanie. An adult friend of your parents is either Mx. Lastname or their first name exclusively, there is no other option for me.

some eels only live a few years but plenty live full human lifespans. The oldest one known is about 155 years. Eels don't develop sex organs till the last year of their life. All eels are believed to come from the sargasso sea where eels leave at the start of their lives and return to towards the end. The Sargasso seas is the only sea surrounded completely by water. The Sargasso seas on its own is a deeply interesting existence and deserves a much more detailed description than I can give. All eels includes the freshwater eels, so for at least part of all freshwater eels' lives they are believed to live in seawater for at least the length of their journey to get from the Sargasso sea towards their normal living environments. Their migration patterns and reproduction conditions are still not very well mapped. also electric eels aren't eels they're knifefish and do not share the same mysteries as eels have built into their very being.

That’s really cool, I didn’t know eels were so fascinating. I decided to look more into eels because I had some time on my hands out found this ted Ed video about the mystery of how they mate and I feel like anyone who is interested in your facts would also find this very interesting too :)
