#Barnacles

[styllwaters]

If you're still taking requests, could we see you draw some of your favourite sea creatures?

How could I refuse?

Bro will NOT just cuss like a normal person (Because if did he would burn for eternity for the sailor mouth he actually has)

[ajaxbleachishere]

Rough drafts of my human designs for the gang >:DD

Tweak and barnacles are my favourite ones I've done

If anyone wanna ask me about them I'll gladly talk 👀👀👀

[mebis-silksong-corner]

Did you know that barnacles are actually crustaceans?

the most widely known ones are filter feeders the ones on silksong are huuuge, they could probably grab a number of bugs off the air like whales gulping on a bunch of krill

Everyone wanted a hug from Captain “Dad” Barnacles so here we are!!

Happy Father’s Day to HIM

I love reading these charts and thinking about who'd go where

[adventuresofalgy]

Following his close encounter with the rapidly rising tide, Algy retreated to a slightly higher point on the rocks which, although evidently covered by the sea at times, remained at a safe distance from the advancing waves for the moment.

Algy just loved rock pools, and there was a plethora of these tiny, ephemeral worlds to be discoverd around his beach when the tide was low. Each pool was different, not only from all the others but also from its own self over time, as the mighty ocean wrought many dramatic changes, especially during the stormy seasons of the year - and those, on the wild west coast of the Scottish Highlands, were many!

Algy was intrigued to find that this particular pool was lined with a beautiful carpet of pale golden shell sand, despite being cut off from the beach by a large mass of rock. No doubt the breakers, which on that particular wee beach could be surprisingly powerful, had lifted the sand to desposit it there, then forgotten to take it away again when they retreated.

The effect was charming, but the sand held a great deal of water, even where it appeared to be dry, so rather than suffer uncomfortably damp tail feathers yet again, Algy perched on a convenient boulder to contemplate the minutiae of life within the pool. Unfortunately, however, the rock too held hazards for the tail feathers, as it was covered in crusty barnacles which were only too well equipped to defend themselves against being perched upon by fluffy birds… Ouch!

This is the sea. In these uneven walls A wave lies prisoned. Far and far away Outward to ocean, as the slow tide falls, Her sisters through the capes that hold the bay Dancing in lovely liberty recede. Yet lovely in captivity she lies, Filled with soft colours, where the wavering weed Moves gently and discloses to our eyes Blurred shining veins of rock and lucent shells Under the light-shot water; and here repose Small quiet fish and dimly glowing bells Of sleeping sea-anemones that close Their tender fronds and will not now awake Till on these rocks the waves returning break.

[Algy is quoting the poem The Rock Pool by the 20th century English writer Edward Shanks.]

[casualcarpetshark]

don't mind me just spreading some intertidal propaganda nothing to see here

[underseapunk]

I've never actually seen anyone do the punk part of seapunk so here's my vest.

Barnacles, sea shells, and (fossil) shark teeth instead of spikes.

(I am obsessed with putting barnacles on everything now)

[bogleech]

Hey bog, do you know anything about Rabbit eared barnacles (Conchoderma auritum)? They're included on a poster I've had since I was like 8 that gives a basic run down of the major arthropod groups, but basically everything on there is pretty well known except for the rabbit eared barnacle (whose label being swapped with the good barnacle caused me years of confusion) and I'm curious what their deal is, because they look like multiple individuals sharing a shell?

They're soft squishy stalked barnacles that evolved to grow almost solely on other, hard-shelled barnacles!

They especially tend to grow on whale barnacles, the acorn barnacles that specially adapted to attach to whale skin. It's actually very difficult for most barnacles to do this, so the rabbit eared barnacle is cheating by letting the whale barnacle build the foundation it lives on. They don't harm one another, but it is possible that sometimes the rabbit barnacles overcrowd and smother their neighbors.
