Shining a light on the origins of bioluminescence ✨✨
A new study led by MBARI collaborators at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History explores the evolution of bioluminescence, nature’s living light show. A team of researchers, including MBARI Senior Scientist Steven Haddock, has learned bioluminescence first evolved in animals at least 540 million years ago in soft corals.
Scientists have long been curious about the evolution of bioluminescence. To tackle the larger question of why bioluminescence evolved, we needed to know when this ability first appeared in animals. In search of the trait’s earliest origins, the team decided to peer back into the evolutionary history of octocorals, an ancient and frequently bioluminescent group of animals that includes soft corals, sea fans, and sea pens.
Mapping out the branches of the evolutionary tree from fossil records, genetics, and bioluminescent behaviors revealed that some 540 million years ago, the common ancestor of all octocorals was very likely bioluminescent. That is 273 million years earlier than the glowing ostracod crustaceans that previously held the title of earliest evolution of bioluminescence in animals.
MBARI’s Biodiversity and Biooptics Team is working to understand how and why animals produce their stunning luminescence. Learn more about this illuminating research on our website.

I'm sure it's all lore that will be revealed in due time, but could you tell us about some of the side effects of consuming the celestial flesh?
I’m definitely not good at working linearly and slow at story plot reveal right now anyway, so happy to answer lol
Also, I wasn’t sure how to gage how much context this answer needed so sorry in advance for the long answer 😭. And cw for graphic descriptions of disease/body horror stuff.
Tl;dr Eating Yvishnir eventually caused evolutionary entropy that sometimes causes horrors.
It’s said that Yvishnir (the body not in the ocean) was a fallen star from long ago, before humanity and the fall of Tartarus(ocean body). The primordials, (Furies and sea dragons) were the ancient fish and birds that fed on Yvishnir in order to sustain their size and godhood and multiply on Earth as its continued keepers. They grew jealous over humanity’s progress and out of fear they buried Yvishnir so humans wouldn’t find it, and hid themselves away. That’s how part of the creation myth goes anyway. Then Tartarus fell and uncovered Yvishnir once again, drawing the primordials out and changing the sea.
So when I say ‘eating the flesh’, I mostly mean the Crux. At first, when Yvishnir was discovered and exposed to the atmosphere, it produced something called Crux which permeated the corpse and oozed from it as a liquid, thought to be a type of otherworldly bacterium or ichor to help it decompose. It caused a sort of explosion of hyper biodiversity/evolution, starting with plants. Here are some examples, mostly some fungi:
Most Humans didn’t really consider eating the Crux of course.
There were a few eccentrics and cults however that started the ball rolling. They would mostly eat it from fungi that had grown around Yvishnir, as well as cooking with it. This caused versions of human evolution, where they began to evolve into the Myce and other species to repopulate as, genetically merging with fungi in order to survive the new world. They’re under the blanket term ‘Hox Strays’, who make up most of Marrowtide and other known civilization islands to this day. There are different variations of these and their mutations have ‘stabilized’ over many generations but that’s another story.
As for Yvishnir, there was a point where the Crux changed its properties, becoming more crystalline. Entropy took over the longer the body was exposed. Even the very insects that were feeding on it began to quickly horrifically mutate and grow. People would say that demons were being birthed from its rotted juices. The Crux began to bring on less desirable effects. Humans classified it as several new forms of horrific diseases ranging from otherworldly prions to the very DNA itself denaturing and mutating.
✨Some outcomes include but are not limited to;✨
>Victims known to have fits of uncontrollable laughter while bleeding from orifices. Several cysts that had broken out on the skin were found to contain bits of teeth, hair and even eyes, like they were growing them.
>Some victims became more beast-like but at the cost of their minds and insatiable hunger for more of the celestial flesh/Crux.
>Victims first described it as a tingling sensation in their chest and extremities. Their blood began to change its molecular structure to be crystalline as well. Cells became shard-like, until their blood eventually hardened completely. It could be seen poking through skin, like they were full of glass.
>Worse still, in a sort of sped up form of the first outcome, they can become a never ending cycle of constantly evolving body parts, growing biomass like cancerous tumors of body parts forever in bloom, eg. growing several hands from your eye or numerous organs. The body can’t sustain this and it pretty much ends in death.
These modern day effects were mostly observed by The Ladder and they determined that Yvishnir was not to be consumed by organisms any longer. In the modern day it is safely contained in Hearth, which is the name of the quarantined citadel outside of The Fever, serving god knows what purpose aside from genetic experiments they’re rumored to be continuing with the remaining crystalline Crux Root.
The primordials felt that those who continued eating the Crux were forsaken, punished for eating the god. They along with others had migrated far, far away at that point, populating the mountains of Zenith and oceans that no one dared to sail through. The body of Yvishnir faded into legends. Even people living within Fever and the isles surrounding it knew less and less about the body as time went on, more focused on surviving day to day.
Their are cases where people have somehow managed to preserve the liquid form of Crux, said to still be procured and preserved when the body was first uncovered and would thus have the least amount of risk involved.
Some people hunt mermaids for the soul purpose of searching the contents of their stomach, to see if they have remnants of Tartarus in them.
With Tartarus it’s all based on theory because no one is able to get down there to see wtf is going on, they only see the results.
#idk why I instinctively apologize for long answers#lotsa new info ig#I want to make more plants and stuff but I’m usually focused on characters#anon reply#lore#hallowed carrion lore#the celestial bodies

✨Corvids Are Building Nests Out Of Anti-Bird Spikes!✨
Check out this article that the incredible @once-in-a-blue-moon-rising sent me.
Nests recovered from trees in Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Antwerp in Belgium were found to be constructed almost entirely from strips of long metal spikes that are often attached to buildings to deter birds from setting up home on the structures.
While the Rotterdam nest was made by crows, the other three were built by magpies, which construct large dome-like nests. The crows used the anti-bird spikes as a sturdy construction material, but the magpies may have appreciated their intended use: they placed most of the spikes on the nest’s roof where they could deter predators, including other birds and weasels.
Auke-Florian Hiemstra, a biologist at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, said: “Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I’ve ever seen.”
Side note: the article also mentions that one of the researchers is known for discovering homosexual necrophilia in ducks. Sooo that’s something I learned today.

Here’s some positivity for alien headmates!
Systems regularly can have members of all sorts. It’s not uncommon for a system to be made up of many nonhuman headmates! These headmates deserve to be uplifted, respected, and understood as they are within their own system and the greater plural community. This post is for all the alien headmates out there!
🪐 Shoutout to alien headmates who get body or species dysphoria due to their physical body not aligning with how they view themselves!
🔭 Shoutout to alien headmates who are often homesick, who miss their home worlds, home planets, and home galaxies!
⭐️ Shoutout to alien headmates who struggle to learn human customs, language, traditions, and ways of life!
🌍 Shoutout to alien headmates who love Earth’s biodiversity, and who have happily made a home away from home here on this planet!
🌠 Shoutout to alien headmates who arrived in their system as a walk-in from elsewhere in the universe!
👽 Shoutout to alien headmates who are octives, paratives, or those whose home world is based in something created by their system!
✨ Shoutout to alien headmates whose extraterrestrial identities are due to being traumatized and dehumanized as a child!

🌌 Shoutout to alien headmates who can’t or don’t want to pass as human, who embrace their alien identities and don’t try to change for the comfort of others!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an alien alter or headmate in a system. You may not be human, but you are just as deserving of kindness, autonomy, agency, and respect as anyone else, human or otherwise! We are so sorry if you are often lonely, homesick, or yearning for your home world, family, and culture left behind. We genuinely hope that you can find peace and happiness in this world surrounded by folks who love and care about you as you are!
Please remember to treat yourself with kindness, and don’t judge yourself too harshly if you struggle to hold yourself up to human standards or maintain a human way of life! We promise that your life has value and you are beautiful and capable just the way you are - you don’t have to change in order to be a cherished part of our community! We love you, we appreciate you, and we are rooting for you in all that you do!

Desert Ecology: Mojave Desert
A desert is so much more than barren land—it's teeming with life, energy, and beauty. Did you know that the desert ecosystem makes up one-quarter of California? We’re talking 26 million acres of pure magic, from the Mojave to the Colorado Desert. 🌵🌞
Within this expansive terrain, over 2,400 species of native plants thrive alongside hundreds of unique animals, all forming intricate webs of life. For this episode of Teaching Climate Together, I had the honor of speaking with Kelly Herbinson, Executive Director at @mojavedesertlandtrust, as my co-host to explore the incredible richness of desert ecology. Growing up in California, I've always been in awe of how spoiled we are here—mountains, forests, beaches, and deserts, all in one state.
Yet, despite its abundance, the desert often goes overlooked. We tend to associate biological richness with forests and coastal zones, but the desert is an unseen wonder of biodiversity. 🌾🦎 Have you ever explored a desert landscape? What were your thoughts or assumptions about these environments before? ✨

The Fascinating World of Extinct Animals: Stories of Lost Species and Conservation Lessons 🌍✨
The DODOD Introduction The story of extinct animals is both a testament to the fragility of life and a reflection of the ever-changing nature of our planet. 🌎💔 Extinct animals, those species that no longer exist, capture our imagination and serve as poignant reminders of the impact humans and natural events have on biodiversity. 🐾📜 In this article, we delve into the causes of extinction, profile some notable extinct animals, and highlight the importance of conservation efforts to prevent further losses. 🛡️🌿 Notable Extinct Animals 1. The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) Habitat: Mauritius, Indian Ocean 🏝️ Extinction Date: Late 17th century 📜 Causes: The dodo was driven to extinction by a combination of hunting by sailors and predation by introduced species such as rats, pigs, and monkeys. Habitat destruction also played a role. 🚢🐀🐖 2. The Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) Habitat: North America 🌎 Extinction Date: Early 20th century (1914) 📜 Causes: Once numbering in the billions, passenger pigeons were hunted extensively for food and sport. Deforestation also destroyed their natural habitat. 🏞️🍂 3. The Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine) Habitat: Tasmania, Australia, New Guinea 🌏 Extinction Date: 20th century (1936) 📜 Causes: Hunting, habitat destruction, and competition with dogs contributed to the decline of the Tasmanian tiger. Government bounties also encouraged widespread killing. 🐕🏞️ 4. The Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis) Habitat: North Atlantic coasts 🌊 Extinction Date: Mid-19th century (1844) 📜 Causes: The great auk was hunted for its feathers, meat, and oil. Overharvesting of eggs and human disturbance of breeding sites also led to its extinction. 🌊🐦
5. The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Habitat: Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Asia, North America) 🌍❄️ Extinction Date: Approximately 4,000 years ago 📜 Causes: Climate change at the end of the last ice age reduced their habitat. Additionally, overhunting by early humans played a significant role in their extinction. 🌡️🏹 Causes of Extinction 1. Natural Causes Climate Change: Historical climate shifts, such as the ice ages, have drastically altered habitats, leading to the extinction of many species unable to adapt. ❄️🌡️ Natural Disasters: Volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, and tsunamis can create immediate and long-term changes to environments, wiping out species. 🌋☄️🌊 Predation and Competition: Evolutionary pressures, including predation and competition for resources, have naturally led to the extinction of less adaptable species. 🐅🍃 2. Human-Induced Causes Habitat Destruction: Deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture reduce the natural habitats of many species, leading to their decline. 🏞️🪓🏘️ Overexploitation: Hunting, fishing, and poaching have driven many species to extinction by depleting their populations faster than they can reproduce. 🎣🏹💔 Pollution: Industrial waste, pesticides, and plastics contaminate ecosystems, causing health problems and deaths in wildlife. 🏭🧴🐢 Climate Change: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming, affecting the natural habitats and lifecycles of many species. 🌍🔥🏭 Introduction of Invasive Species: Non-native species introduced by humans can outcompete, prey on, or bring diseases to native species, leading to extinction. 🐍🌱🌏 The Importance of Conservation The extinction of species has a profound impact on ecosystems and the services they provide. 🐾🌿 Biodiversity is crucial for maintaining ecological balance, pollination of plants, purification of water, and many other functions essential for life on Earth. 🌍💧 Conservation efforts are vital to protect the remaining species and prevent further extinctions. Here are some key strategies: Protected Areas: Establishing national parks and wildlife reserves to safeguard habitats. 🏞️🛡️ Legislation: Enforcing laws against poaching, illegal logging, and trade in endangered species. 📜🚫 Captive Breeding Programs: Breeding endangered species in captivity to reintroduce them into the wild. 🦏🐣 Habitat Restoration: Rehabilitating degraded ecosystems to support wildlife. 🌱🏞️ Climate Action: Mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 🌍🔥 Public Awareness: Educating people about the importance of biodiversity and conservation efforts. 🧑🏫🌿
Conclusion The history of extinct animals is a sobering reminder of the delicate balance of life on Earth. 🌍💔 While the loss of species like the dodo and the Tasmanian tiger can never be undone, we can learn from these events to better protect the remaining biodiversity. 🐾🌿 Through concerted conservation efforts, we can strive to preserve the natural world for future generations, ensuring that more species do not meet the same fate as those that have already been lost. 🌍💚 Join the Conversation! 🌟 If you found this article informative, please like, comment, and share it with fellow wildlife enthusiasts. Together, we can make a difference in protecting our planet's incredible wildlife. 🌟

I see albedo is losing the current “the creator has a (blank) child” poll but I’m wondering if you could possibly PLEASE still do Albedo? You don’t have too, but I’m really interested to see how that would play out (and I really love albedo, but unfortunately he is not a popular character) hope you have a good day/night! ✨
Don't worry! I'm still going to write for the losing options, this is mostly so I can see who people would want more and to prioritize.
This mostly came to be because my mom wanted us to start pilates and that way I have something else to think about other than my arms hurting hshshs, it's more fun to make up little head cannons like diluc carrying his son around the vineyard teaching him about the management and types of grapes even if he doesn't understand, or albedo managing to keep mondstats biodiversity somewhat safe for a few months giving Klee quest for baby supplies

Hiya! ✨
Hope you're doing well bestie (◍•ᴗ•◍)
18 and 28 for the ask game?
hey!!! i'm doing great, how about yourself?
18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?
for ghosts, i personally don't think so, but i'm not about to stomp on people who do. i do think they make a good story! and for aliens- with how infinitely vast our universe is, i would almost gurantee that somewhere, somehow, there's some form of life outside our own. it would be so cool to learn more about them- what's the biodiversity like? what truly are the fundamental principles of life? are they universal, or just for earth? what ecosystems exist outside our stars? such fascinating stuff maybe we will never know!
28. do you collect anything?
no, because i hate spending money. however, i love making collections! i have a few papercrafts on my desk, and a wall of post-it doodles, and a ton of gifted stuffed animals!!!

I’ll never understand the Christians that aren’t big into environmentalism, conservation, and just plain ‘living deliciously’ like … what even is the point of believing God Created This World And It Was Good 🤗 ? This world IS good! It IS beautiful! Stop tearing up biodiverse grasslands just to build another Walmart! ‘Men were given dominion over the earth’ like holy fucking shit, learn to appreciate the infinitely rare miracle it is to have clean water just… ✨available✨ and take care of that gift.
We have bodies that have taste buds and erogenous zones and imaginations, and yet somehow they’ve gone and created entire fucking societies built on this idea that Pleasure is a Sin and ~Suffering Is The Point~ what the fuck? If God created you then everything about you was by design. If God creates this world and called it good, then that includes you. That includes sand barrens. That includes artesian wells and swamps and orgasms and butter. The whole point should be to live and experience the fullness of a world that God Created For Us.
I do not understand how this is heretical. This IS a hill I will die on.
#cw christianity#heretic#creationism#not getting into whether it’s correct or not but I’m saying that IF someone believes it then the extrapolations don’t exist#(see also: if we really are the only life in the universe then I’m going to be breathlessly paralyzed by the very thought of killing a fly)#WHERE IS THE WONDER? WHERE IS THE AWE?? LIFE IS INFINITELY PRECIOUS SO L I V E#(eat soup cuddle a warm body go for a walk in the snow)
