Horrid

Spooky season is here!

Have some Eldritch monster magical girls

some of the writers of that harley quinn cartoon have the right idea because instead of keeping joker as a mysterious unstoppable edgelord they had him lose his memory for a while, become a stepdad to a nice family, and then when he got back his joker memories he still stuck with it. The kids think it kicks ass to have joker for a dad and anyone who mistreats them is fucked. He got so mad that the school was possibly discriminating against them that he ran for mayor and he won because most of gotham is poor and shares his hatred of both rich people and cops.

I wish this kind of thing was what all the endless movies were about. I still wouldn’t spend money to watch superhero movies but I’d be glad to just know, you know

they actually do eat crickets but it still has to be his all time most impressive display of interest in any legitimate subject and I’m glad it’s lizards

The common Archangel. 

 Humans from the neighboring villages pay tribute to the newly born Cherubs in the form of rye bread and simple cornmeals.

Cherubs stay in their infant stage for over 50 years and need constant attention before reaching adulthood. Their songs are said to be beautiful and differ for each listener.

Angels huddle with their brood under a halo nest adorned with the branches of the most sacred cemetery trees.

Brood parasitism occurs amongst different angel species, particularly from the Genus Bypochtbonia. The angel will snatch the cherub and replace it with a near identical offspring. The angel parents will then raise the parasite baby, unaware of the exchange.

Cherub parasites give out an incessant wail known as the ‘song of flesh,’ persistently demanding human souls to feed upon. Their fits of hunger are insatiable and the angel parents have no choice but to accommodate the parasite to the point of bursting.

If you haven’t, I’d check out the dance cutscenes from this game. 

Remember that time Pink Kryptonite randomly turned Superman into a woman and he was just all ‘It’s cool brah’ and continued punching baddies?

I cant believe superman has a magical girl sequence

Superman, in his normal deep voice: “I can work with this.”

Animal Crackers for Zoologists

With October just around the corner, NASA has released its latest Galaxy of Horrors posters. Presented in the style of vintage horror movie advertisements. As fun and creative as all three posters are, they're based on real phenomena. 🎃

Can you hear this exoplanet screaming?

As HD 80606 b approaches its star from an extreme, elliptical orbit, it suffers star-grazing torture that causes howling, supersonic winds and shockwave storms across the planet. Its torturous journey boils its atmosphere to a hellish 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit every 111 days, roasting both its light and dark sides. HD 80606b will never escape this scorching nightmare.

This bone-chilling force will leave you shivering alone in terror!

An unseen power is prowling throughout the cosmos, driving the universe to expand at a quickening rate. This relentless pressure, called dark energy, is nothing like dark matter, that mysterious material only revealed by its gravitational pull. Dark energy offers a bigger fright: pushing galaxies farther apart over trillions of years, leaving the universe to an inescapable, freezing death in the pitch black expanse of outer space.​

Cygnus X-1 Presents:

It’s Dinner Time and You’re The Meal!

Lurking in our galaxy, approximately 6,000 light-years from Earth, is a monster named CygnusX-1. This black hole, which has about 14.8 times the mass of our Sun, will stretch and squeeze anything it captures in its immense gravity. Cygnus X-1 is waiting, snacking on its neighboring star. Don’t get too close, or you’ll become its next meal!

This chillingly haunted galaxy mysteriously stopped making stars only a few billion years after the Big Bang! It became a cosmic cemetery, illuminated by the red glow of decaying stars. Dare to enter, and you might encounter the frightening corpses of exoplanets or the final death throes of once-mighty stars.

Something strange and mysterious creeps throughout the cosmos. Scientists call it dark matter. It is scattered in an intricate web that forms the skeleton of our universe. Dark matter is invisible, only revealing its presence by pushing and pulling on objects we can see. NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will investigate its secrets. What will be revealed?

In the depths of the universe, the cores of two collapsed stars violently merge to release a burst of the deadliest and most powerful form of light, known as gamma rays. These beams of doom are unleashed upon their unfortunate surroundings, shining a million trillion times brighter than the Sun for up to 30 terrifying seconds. No spaceship will shield you from the blinding destruction of the gamma ray ghouls!

These doomed worlds were among the first and creepiest to be discovered as they orbit an undead star known as a pulsar. Pulsar planets like Poltergeist and its neighboring worlds, Phobetor and Draugr, are consumed with constant radiation from the star’s core. Nothing but the undead can subsist in this most inhospitable corner of the galaxy.

This far-off blue planet may look like a friendly haven – but don’t be deceived! Weather here is deadly. The planet’s cobalt blue color comes from a hazy, blow-torched atmosphere containing clouds laced with glass. Howling winds send the storming glass sideways at 5,400 mph (2km/s), whipping all in a sickening spiral. It’s death by a million cuts on this slasher planet!

every day some japanese twitter account shows me a bug i never couldve even imagined

Chlamisus or Fulcidax, a genus of cloaked warty leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae

rock/bug type pokemon

Happy pride to the creator of the "gay people i respect" meme

you know what that is? Growth.

the hymenopteran family Pteromalidae is a hyper-diverse (probably polyphyletic) group of parasitoid wasps. there's currently thousands of described species but with how understudied parasitoid wasps are, there's probably actually a shitload more than that. anyway most species are somewhere around 1-3mm long, often barely discernible without a microscope. but i read somewhere that they range up to almost 50mm, about 2 inches, which is huge for any insect and positively gargantuan for a pteromalid. so of course i had to go and look up what the biggest one was. turns out it's Doddifoenus wallacei and while a big chunk of that 50 mm length is ovipositor, it's still way less than i expected!

here's some other impressive species in the same genus:
