I’ve been in a shark horror kick as of late, trying to watch as many entries in the canon as possible. Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time, and while I was technically aware many a copycat had been made through the years and the wonderful world of shark-centric cinema was as vast as the sea itself, I still wasn’t quite prepared for just how many schlocky shark movies there are out there. None come close to touching Jaws, but many are fascinating in their own ways. You would think there are only so many ways a filmmaker could invent a BIGGER BADDER FASTER SMARTER shark, but alas, they keep on taking a stab at it! Anyway, let my latest obsession become yours as you take this shark-themed personality quiz, whose overall message is also meant to suggest: All sharks are lesbians.

I got Hammerhead Shark!
“Body tea? More like Body T (literally their bodies are shaped like a T). Hammerheads have a wider field of vision than other sharks, so if you get this answer, you too can see more than meets the eye and therefore are a good friend for analyzing dyke drama.”
I feel this is all very true but I did feel embarrassed about having to pick the “I’m terrified of sharks please don’t make me see another picture of them” answers for quite a few questions. The idea that all sharks are lesbians does make me a little more endeared to them, however – doing god’s work, Kayla!
Carpet Shark! God this is so true of me.
I could eat seafood forever and then eat some more on top of that
