#Black Sea nettle

[respect-the-locals]

🪼Daily Cnidarian Fact:🪼

Black Sea Nettle Jellyfish: The black sea nettle can be quite massive, with a bell diameter potentially up to 3ft and oral arms extending to 16 or 20ft. The bell color is a distinctive opaque dark purple to nearly black, with the margin having a lighter brown reticulated pattern. The specific epithet, achylos, is constructed from the Greek achlys, meaning "mist, darkness, and obscurity", in reference to both the species' coloration and the rarity of its sightings.

April/May: Ciarra Mermay 2024 Day 02.

Oh hey we're on a Roll with this Mermay challenge! Day 02's prompt is to draw a Black Sea Nettle which is a Big ol' Jellyfish. So I settled with drawing a sweet Jellyfish Merm who were gonna call "Gerri". Named after my Tutor at Art College. I really like this one, I know that Black Sea Nettles aren't Purple but something about this just really Pops! You know...

Jellyfish Common Names vs Scientific Names

Those who've known me for a while know that I typically prefer remembering a jellyfish's scientific name over their common name, but why?

Well... it's mostly for simplicity's sake. Jellyfish have been around a lot longer than humans have, and as a result, many species have accumulated multiple confusing and misleading names. It's just easier to know them by scientific name, which typically have more of the truth in mind.

Many more don't even have a common name... so it's also sort of a thing I do to keep things consistent.

Also, some scientific names are really cool. Like for this jellyfish:

Would you rather call it the "Black Sea Nettle" or the Chrysaora achlyos? (I talk about the etymology here if you're interested in knowing the names of the Greek Deities that make up its name. It's very cool and would take way too long for me to explain on this post)

So I’ve decided every once in a while I’m going to make one really long post on something I’m interested in and today it’s my favorite animal: The Jellyfish (technically my favorite is the Black Sea Nettle but I have many close seconds)

My personal favorite thing about jellyfish is how absolutely GORGEOUS they are I mean take a look at this BEAUTY

(black sea nettle)

They look almost like fabric floating through the ocean and it’s honestly quite fantastic.

While some people don’t like jellyfish because of them ya know stinging you, not all jellyfish sting you!!! A great example is the moon jelly, which is completely harmless to humans! (Also super adorable picture below)

Another common misinformation spread about these guys is about Man O War, which are misidentified as jellyfish, though they are actually Siphonophore! (A colony of many smaller critters) Not only that, but Man O War aren’t as dangerous as people believe they are! I often see them confused with a real and extremely dangerous jelly, the Box Jellyfish.

One more fun (not really) fact about jellies is that they actually are a major issue with some environmental issues and with destroying fisheries. Pollution and chemical runoff into later has caused huge jelly blooms, which can take over fisheries, and cause major issues. While I adore jellies I’ll be the first to say that some of them are causing major harm to the environment and the population of some fish. (List of sources below!)

I’ll probably talk more about them in the future as I adore jellyfish so much. Anyways, theres my infodump! I hope you enjoyed it!

Oh, House of The Dragon is a feminist show? Team Black is a feminist team?

They wrote out Nettles, a canon black woman. They threw away Rhaena's storyline and subsequent characterization. They wrote out her storyline and replaced it with the canon black woman's storyline. Because Rhaena's a black woman in the show? Are they the same now? Because women's stories are interchangeable?

Rhaenyra has spent 5 episodes making no decisions during a War, they changed her grief from ugly and volatile and brutal to the more appropriate sad and weepy, as all good mothers should be.

They changed Laena's death so they can set a precedent for how honorable Rhaenyra's will be. To prop up a white woman. Why is her death not her own?

Daemon kills his wife, who he calls misogynist names constantly, by his own hand. No plausible deniability, no assassins, he's there. Why did they show it? A woman's death that was only implied to be his fault in the books, but they had to portray a woman's death. What did it accomplish? What did I have to see so bad? Is this Domestic Violence?

Both Daemon and Rhaenyra have sex on the day of Laena's funeral, with her family in the building, including her grieving daughters. And then they get married that week. That was his wife, mother of his children, someone whose death brought him to tears. Even if Rhaenyra isn't friends with her in the show canon, she should have some respect for this woman. Do they not honor the dead in Westeros? Do they not have mourning periods? Religion or not, her body was closer to the castle than it was the bottom of the sea. Why did she have three actresses? Why did she have an extra growth spurt? Why was her adult actress significantly older than both Alicente and Rhaenyra's? Wasn't she younger?

Why does Baela only support Jacaerys but not her sister? Why does Baela talk about Rhaenys but not her mother? Because her father has a new wife? Why does Rhaenyra care if Helaena was hurt or scarred by Jaehaerys death when they don't interact at all? Because she's a mother too? Does that make her saintly now? Was Rhaenys not a mother when she wanted Laenor dead? At his sister's, her daughter's funeral. How does she know Helaena is an innocent? How can Rhaenyra be ambitious enough for the throne, how can Alicente be a silver-tongued usurper but not Helaena? Why doesn't Rhaenyra have female friendships? Why are all her female conversations only about making her queen and the war? No wonder people ship Alicente/Rhaenyra
