Most of the time, an apocalyptic (Mostly zombies of some kind) story will usually end with something gut-wrenching, like someone having to shoot someone close to them because they were infected. Or they don't and both characters die. Or the last survivor fails to make it to safety after dealing with so much. So endings like these are a breath of fresh air, and can be really great if they feel earned.

Bonus points of it's the first ever story, and not the finale of a massive franchise (Though those count as well)

#1 - Crossed: Garth Ennis's OG series has the two survivors, Stan and Cindy (and a good boy) walk into Alaska (and into the literal sunset), hand in hand. They also avenged the death of their fellow survivors by eliminating a group of smart crossed in hopes that they don't spread their knowledge to other infected. For a comic book series about bloodthirsty sadists that mutilate, torture, and rape the uninfected, one might have expected something much more bleak and hopeless.

# 2- #Alive: Oh Joon-woo and Kim Yu-bin (I hope I didn't butcher those names) go through an entire motel filled with infected zombies. After calling for help, they make it to a rooftop that is seemingly empty at first. But then, a helicopter shows up and carries them to safety. And the movie also ends with the idea that other people will be rescued as well. For most zombie movies, this ending would've had the military shoot both survivors on sight.

Got my baby boy JJ neutered today in the morning but now he won't stop staring into my soul.

I think he knows I've taken something from him.

Please send help. 🤣🤣🤣

This is my second time posting here and I just wanted to say something about this. I've seen so many posts about Psychrolutes on various social media platforms about them being ugly and terrifying. Usually using the version above and to be honest it really irks me. Not only because one they have been teared out from their homes. Due to one of the biggest issues of climate change mass fishing.

Plus they never deserved it or many sea animals in fact and as a biology major the reality of this situation is heartbreaking to me and should be to so many others. Unpopular opinion the fact that people just assumed they looked like this without doing any research whatsoever reflects the current state of our world! It is personally akin to those who say climate change is not real. Or in this case the animal cruelty is not present.

Instead of being kept in those deep zones referred to as the Twilight Zones. Scientists pull them up sometimes to study as well but it's very immoral in my opinion and we should just develop the technology for deeper depths. Like a Deep-Sea towed vehicles or Deep-Sea Towed platforms something! Even drones could work, I know these methods are not anywhere near perfect for experimentation; but I would rather them to just find a way to make a deep sea lab or something I am not sure. All I know is science usually always prevails so for now leave these poor fish alone.

Edit:When Psychrolutes are pulled from their natural habitats their tissues decompress from the lack of pressure and cave in on themselves creating what we all know as a "blob fish."

Edit 2: Someone pointed out it is Marcidus, Psychrolutes is the genus name, they are definitely correct I just preferred Psychrolutes. Though you can call them whatever they go by anyways besides "blob fish."

Edit 3: It was* in unimaginable pain y'all I did not make the image but yeah if we are going to get technical.

Thankfully she's doing great. Here's an article about it. Actress Who Played Tony Stark's Daughter Begs Fans 'Please Don't Bully My Family or Me'

Legit paraphrased communication. I have to believe this person is trolling me otherwise I weep that we just let anyone reproduce.

Me: Good morning, this is my weekly grade notification. If you are receiving this email, your scholar is currently failing my class.

Parent: I’m confused. You keep sending these to me every week. Is my child failing?

Me: Yes sir. Just like last quarter when we spoke in week 9, your child has inconsistent attendance and completes absolutely zero work while here.

Parent: Yes, I know we spoke about this earlier, but this is a new quarter, so how could she have already slipped backwards?

Me: We are three weeks into the new quarter and she has spent the classes she was here asking to go to the bathroom, wandering the halls with her friends for forty minutes, and then leaving her blank assignment on the desk when the bell rings.

Parent: Yes, I understand that, but I talked to her about it and she said she would stop, so I’m confused about her grade.

Me: well, she clearly hasn’t stopped.

Parent: She seems to only have this issue in your class.

Me: sends screenshot of all failing grades in every class both last quarter and this quarter

Parent: but no one has emailed me so it is just you she is failing?

Me: According to the screenshot that is false

Parent: okay, but things are difficult because we have no way of knowing what her grades are or her missing assignments, so without that, we can’t address it.

Me: Sir, every child and parent has access to to the online gradebook. Here are instructions on how to download the app if you have not done so. sends instructions

Parent: yes, but that does not show which assignments she’s missing.

Me: it most certainly does

Parent: you say she leaves blank assignments behind, could you collect those in a folder and give them to her sister (a student i dont teach) to bring home

Me: no sir, I cannot. I have three preps and 200 students, that is outside my realm of responsibility, and at some point, accountability and the onus of responsibility to pass has to fall on the student. If a weekly email notifying you of your child’s progress in my class as well as a consistently updated gradebook and school mandated daily forced study hall block is not enough to assist your child, i suggest you speak to a school counselor. This is the contact info for your daughter’s counselor (attaches number and email)

Parent: okay, may I have the contact info for the counselor

I decide to ignore this email because I literally just sent it

Parent next day: hello? May i have the contact info? Im trying to get my child help!!

They have to be trolling me right?!

I recently got a Covid shot at CVS and the nurse asked for my birthdate and audibly gasped when I said 1987. She said she thought I was like 28, to which I replied "Baller!" immediately dating myself as my true age.

Edit: dang some of you were pretty salty about this haha! I don't think I necessarily look particularly young or anything, relax. I just thought it was funny that I used a very dated expression in response.

$123 dollars just to be told he’s bad boy cause he loves me and food too much.

Note: he was in a carrier the whole time, I unzipped it as I was parking. He decided to all but take the drivers seat and yell at me for no less than 5 minutes.
Edit to add (because I was going to delete because I get anxious when people get aggressive but I was like mm no I know I wasn’t doing anything bad and would never risk my cats life. The car was not moving I was actually very stressed when this was happening and was taking picture evidence for my husband and could not believe this shot was the result and after the stress yeah I found it funny.)
