Top 5 tropes? And Top 5 musicals?
hanuko answered:
Top 5 troooooooopes.
I swear, I still don’t know what a trope even is. Except the ones I don’t like. THOSE I know 😂
Top 5 Tropes:
1. Found Family.
Any kind. One where people fit the roles, non-traditional, a group of friends trying their best, whatever’s clever.
2. Pride and Prejudice AUs.
I can’t help myself.
3. Hufflepuff!Harry Potter AUs.
I just… I think he would have made better choices as a Hufflepuff. Maybe not. Who can say? But if Susan and Justin were his besties, I don’t think he would have gotten in near as much trouble.
4. Is recovering from a terrible injury/illness/hardship considered a trope?
Hope so because I’m all about that whump.
5. Is canon divergence where you knock canon on it’s side and squint a trope?
I mean… my fics kind of LIVE there. ;-)
Musicals! Are we including Disney? For real, a lot of my favorites are Disney. We’ll make Disney a separate category ;-)
Top 5 Musicals:
1. Les Miserables
Need I say more?
2. Into the Woods
Don’t come for me. I liked that musical WAY before Disney got its hands on it.
3. Rent
Is it odd that I identify with Mark so much?
4. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Come on. People pies. I LOVE it. And that ending? Oof.
5. Phantom of the Opera
The muuuuuuuuusic. -sigh- So pretty
That was HARD! I like so many musicals….
Does Glee count as a musical?
The musical episode of buffy?
What about scrubs?
Thanks for the ask, my dear. 💖💖💖

dude I read your fic Omertà THANK YOU for being like the only fic I've seen with good opinions about the accords especially when it comes to the x-men you'd think other people would realize how awful they are but everyone seems to not realize that ???
hanuko answered:
Hello Nonny.
You’re very welcome, and I’m glad you agree! The accords were the absolute worst, and nothing good could come of them imo.
It actually really surprises me how many people are okay with the accords as is. I mean, fine, hold supers accountable. That’s a good thing. But not that way… The few details we get in the movie and the rest on the wiki… Oof.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts. XD

Could you fill me in on the whole grape-kun thing?
carnival-phantasm answered:
A japanese zoo, Tobu Zoo, had a colab with the anime Kemono Friends where they added cutouts of the anime characters to the enclosures of the matching animals to attract visitors and stuff, one of these characters being Hululu, an airhead anthropomorphic Humboldt penguin:
Grape-kun, an old humboldt penguin who’d been abandoned by his former mate due to his health issues, started showing a lot of interest for the cutout, staring at it for hours, trying to reach it on top of the tall rock where it was placed, and even trying to court it.
Of course, Kemono Friends already being a surprise hit show, the thing went viral and tons of art, jokes and other content were made. Even after the colab was over, the zoo didn’t remove Grape-kun’s sunshine, and Hululu’s VA Ikuko Chikuta even visited Grape-kun during an educational event:
Unfortunately, Grape-kun was already old and his health started to deteriorate. He was removed from his enclosure for treatment, along with his muse of course, that was placed next to him. On october 12, 2017, Tobu Zoo announced that Grape-kun passed away, with Hululu by his side in his final moments. Once again Grape-kun started trending, this time in a sadder tone as fans, visitors and part of the Kemono Friends staff paid their respects.
As a final homage to Grape-kun, a new cutout was added to the penguin enclosure in january 2018, immortalizing this romance:
And thus ends the tale of Grape-kun and Hululu. May our little Friend rest in penguin heaven with his anime wife, gone, but never forgotten.

I thought it would delight you to know that ants do have a sort of funeral mound for their dead
iguanamouth answered:
yes there is a name for this! necrophoresis is a process with social insects where the bodies are taken to a specific location on the outside of ( or within ) the nest - ants tend to keep them all in the same place, and the way an ant is signaled to be “dead” by its other members is through the release of a chemical called oliec acid
theres even been a few experiments where live ants were coated in the same chemical and other ants treated the live ants….exactly as though they were dead and tried dragging them into the pile
Did you folks know that some people can smell this acid? My mom, who has a very good sense of smell, can't smell it, but it's quite pungent to me. Apparently some people can also smell some species of ants while they're alive, too, but I've only smelled the small black ones after they were dead.
