Have people harassed you since that post about bones went a bit viral

All messages that I have gotten have been super nice and complimenting my poetry – except for one ask where I learned that a movie called jaws exists and the person was not indeed asking me if there are jawbones that come alive and grow legs. 

But I do check the tags periodically for fun and here are some of my absolute highlight gem comments from the famous bones post. Generally, there are a few different categories of tags and replies you get when you suddenly have A Famous Tumblr Post™:

Who has bones? Do animals have bones? Do humans have bones? Do any of us have bones?

Then, you have fandoms noting that bones have nothing to do with them – except for that one fandom:

Then, there are my favourite one-word-only tags:

And finally… a collection of Questionable And Interesting:

And… this gem.

dumbass do you think jaws is gonna grow legs or something

This… is the most confusing message I’ve ever gotten but I’ll try to answer it to the best of my ability…? I know it’s related to this post but I don’t know why you’re asking me about jaw bones specifically and why they would grow legs… anyhow –

I think generally speaking, many animals that have a jaw bone would also be able to grow legs or something that closely resembles legs. If you count fins and other appendages, sure, then jaws would definitely grow legs, I don’t know why that makes me a dumbass though. I’m not a zoologist so I’m unsure about certain invertebrates like worms that might (??) have jaws or jaw-like mouth areas but definitely no legs… 

So bottom line – yes, “jaws might grow legs in certain cases” – did… did that help?

I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT JAWS REFERS TO A MOVIE THAT I KNOW AS “THE WHITE SHARK” IN MY NATIVE LANGUAGE AND THAT ANON WAS NOT, INDEED, ASKING ME ABOUT JAW BONES

if you find bones in the forest, sit a bit and listen. they are old and have some good stories to tell. maybe they’ll teach you a spell or two, or explain where the water on our planet came from.

if you find bones by the ocean, run. don’t look back. run, faster, faster. the sea may love you but there are nights where she knows neither mercy nor science, and the bones warn you only once.

I accidentally deleted my own post so I hereby reblog it back to my blog. Proceed. Nothing to see here, especially not the bones that appeared in my flat corridor after the deletion and now have begun growing larger.

I am a storm in skin and flesh
The world’s an echo in my steps
And with the roar in my heart’s beat
I’ll burn your bones and make you bleed

I vent my anger through words.
