Seahorse Jooster mpreg (dear God!) and a lot of fry...

[laeticiav.livejournal.com]

momentarylapse8's AU drabble suggestion "seahorses," with its obvious implications of mpreg, lodged itself in my mind and refused to unlodge. The aforementioned m.l.8 had rapidly followed the suggestion with a rhetorical "WTF?," but I was unable to refrain from indeed asking W of TF in question, and what began as a moderately noxious drawble snowballed into this towering inferno of cracktosity (if snowballs can infern). I apologize profusely, since the phrase "seahorse Jooster mpreg" probably never needed to occur on this planet. Or any other planet for that matter. I'm experimenting with styles here and I went a bit photoshop ballistic, but that's really the least of my sins...



(Also, IS, do you not have a "crack" tag? Did you not foresee that this day would come? I think it's in the Book of Revelations between the locusts and the seven-headed dragon.)

Edit: now with some unnecessary animations in the comments section. Seahorse Jooster - it's even more annoying as a gif!



Seahorses have an unusual reproductive strategy.





(Inspired by this photo of seahorses. Seriously how cute are seahorses with their intertwining tails and general glompiness?)


The gestation is also a challenging time for the pregnant seahorse's mate.



(The Snakehead fish can breathe air, climb trees and wipe out entire ecosystems.)




The mate visits the gestating father daily and performs a ritual reminiscent of the courtship. The father, meanwhile, produces massive amounts of the hormone prolactin to nourish the young.




Between 9 and 45 days later (depending on the species), the father gives birth. Seahorses can have as many as 1500 young,which are called fry.* The young are perfect miniature replicas of the adults.


*Science!canon. They are not, however, necessarily called Stephen.

(OK, huge apologies. If you put your head in your hands for a while and breathe deeply, it will probably be OK.)

I think that you have absolutely NOTHING to apologize for! This is absolutely darling, well-executed, and hilarious. Things I loved especially:

We'll dress them up in spats and greaveses
Or Pirate shirts with puffy sleeveses

Fish Head Aunt Agatha

Li'l Bertie Jr in all his sartorial splendor.

Splendid.

haha your introductory paragraph had me in stitches. True enough, the phrase 'seahorse jooster mpreg' probably didn't need to occur on this or any planet, but in light of this cracktastic brainchild, I'm so glad that it did.

TEE HEE!! Informative AND hilarious. I think exasperated Aunt Dahlia fish might be my favorite.

[momentarylapse8.livejournal.com]

OM actually G!!!!!! This is frickin HILARIOUS! You win so hard with the masterpiece. The snakehead fish is perfect and terrifying and the little Bertie in the white mess jacket? Adorable! This made me smile so much - love it!

[erynn999.livejournal.com]

This is hilarious, wonderful, and so so so very brain-breaking. Bravo!

[gunitneko.livejournal.com]

Apologize for nothing! You are not alone. I thought of this too after I saw the post.(what I mostly though of was the video "I'M IN LOVE WITH THE SEAHORSES, I FRICKIN LOVE 'EM") KUDOS!

I....I will never see anything in my life more adorable than bb!seahorse!Bertie in a white mess jacket!

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

This is, by far, the most cracktastic thing I've ever seen in this fandom or any other. I wish there was some sort of prize-giving because you deserve one. Maybe for seahorse knowledge?

Love the aunt fish, esp. Aunt A. Aunt D is quite blunt, what with her comments re: ovipositor.

I just love it, love it, love it!

And I'm pimping it on my LJ, so there!

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare apologizing for perfection. This post is a masterpiece.

[trista-zevkia.livejournal.com]

I believe the phrase everyone is searching for is 'you've just won the internet' b.c this is too awesome to give you some paltry prize like a new computer! Beautifully done! =)

Ah, Jooster crack. How I love thee <3

Shall I compare thee to a Jooster crack?
Thou are not as seahorsey or pregnant.
Tiny Jeeveses Bertie's fashion sense lack,
one tiny Bertie hides from Jeeves and aunt.

This is glorious. Glorious! Both on its own merits and because I am no longer alone in having turned Jeeves into an egg-laying marine lifeform. Welcome to our treehouse. Have a seahorse-shaped cookie.

[ladymoondancer.livejournal.com]

This is the BEST CRACK EVER. I love Bertie Jr and the aunt fish!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Lol! So adorably cracky. :D I love Bertie's breaking the news to Aunt A (the snakehead fish was an excellent choice for her, BTW), and the vast legion of offspring!

[hbomb90.livejournal.com]

Good lord, this is flipping fantastic and SO mental. And of course Jeeves would focus on the one child who was not dressed properly :D (Love the linked tales)
