Despite thousands of years of research and an unending fascination with marine creatures, humans have explored only five percent of the oceans covering the majority of the earth’s surface. A forthcoming book from Phaidon dives into the planet’s notoriously vast and mysterious aquatic ecosystems, traveling across the continents and three millennia to uncover the stunning diversity of life below the surface.

Spanning 352 pages, Ocean, Exploring the Marine World brings together a broad array of images and information ranging from ancient nautical cartography to contemporary shots from photographers like Sebastião Salgado and David Doubilet. The volume presents science and history alongside art and illustration—it features biological renderings by Ernst Haekcl, Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock prints, and works by artists like Kerry James Marshall, Vincent van Gogh, and Yayoi Kusama—in addition to texts about conservation and the threats the climate crises poses to underwater life.

Ocean will be released this October and is available for pre-order on Bookshop. You also might enjoy this volume devoted to birds.

You should draw your faves as you like; don't let pesky anons tell you "wahhh her boobs are too big!" or whatever else! People are misers just purely for the sake of it online.

YOU'RE the artist, it's your pen, your vision! If you wanna draw Lambda with some ultra Senran Kagura-sized hoohas nobody can actually stop you or tell you otherwise. If you wanna draw Nu as a 6 meter tall & muscular or Mu with Chun-Li thighs??? Ragna with a dadbod? AU Carl Clover where he studies under Bang and gets buff as hell and gets a better grip of his Nox Nyctores and becomes more trusting of others? Any of that, none of that, all of that: it's all YOUR prerogative.

Art is freedom! Art is life! You and you alone can dictate what you want to put into the world!

6 meter tall Juusan... 🤤

This is the Vampyroteuthis infernalis, more commonly known as a “ Vampire Squid “. It resides in the deep sea at about 300-3000 meters in the tropical and subtropical oceans.

They were discovered in 1903 on the Valdivia Expedition by Carl Chun. Their diet typically consist of detritus, including the reminds of gelatinous zooplankton ( salps, larvaceans, and medusae jellies) and complete copepods, ostracods, amphipods, and isopods. They also sometimes feed on fecal pellets of the creatures from above.

Vampire squid’s are one of my favorite deep sea creatures, not only are the gorgeous but as a lover of vampires it definitely catches my eye !

Weird Creature of the Day: Vampire Squid

Undead, undead, undead... Vampyroteuthis infernalis...

Despite its macabre name, vampire squids are significantly less monstrous than many of their deep sea neighbors. They grow only up to 1 foot in length and feed primarily off of marine snow, instead of any hapless damsels or well-meaning real estate salesmen.

Vampire squids helped make scientific history! Featured among other organisms catalogued during the Valdivia Expedition (led by cephalopod expert Carl Chun in the late 1890s,) they helped prove the then-contested theory that life was possible at underwater levels deeper than 550 meters.

Vampire squids are one of those wonderful deep sea species whose colors appear vastly different depending on the lighting. While named for its lusciously deep black coloration, the squid can appear red under certain lighting conditions. It has photophores that can create flashing patterns to attract prey and stun predators. Its chromatophores can't do much of anything. But hey, it's super dark down there, so he doesn't need to worry about that. Black is always in fashion. Especially when it's on such a glamorous cape.

Vamp squids have massive eyes. Like, record setting, largest known eye-to-body ratio in the entire Animalia kingdom massive. He will stare at you with them big ol' eyes. The eyes appear blue under lighting because they reflect the surrounding water.

They differ from most of their peers in the Cephalopoda class in a lot of ways: They're the only cephalopod to live in the oxygen minimum zone-- a place where oxygen levels reach as little as 3%-- having developed the lowest metabolic rate of their peers to adapt to this; they're the only currently living cephalopod to scavenge instead of hunt; they lack ink sacks, and will instead raise their webbed arms around themselves to show the spiked structures underneath (called a "pineapple" position) while they release bioluminscent mucus; and the males do not release sperm for the female to receive, but rather deliver her a "packet" full of sperm that she'll store in a special pocket until she decides she's ready for motherhood. I, personally, am glad to know vampire squids are carrying on the goth legacy of being The Weird Kid in class and at home.

While vampire squids are not endangered or threatened, they do face a higher risk of issues with microplastics as they eat a high volume of marine snow.

One of the bosses of the 2020 Halloween Google Doodle is a vampire squid (who also happens to be possessed by a ghost). He swoops in on your character, first like a typical Dracula, then in the "pineapple" position!

A vampire squid was briefly shown in captivity to the public in 2014 by the acclaimed Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was kept in a highly specialized, low-light tank to protect its eyes and meet its special pressure and dietary needs. I don't believe it's being held there anymore but they still have a great info page about it here!

If you'd like to hear this post summarized in song, check out this video I stumbled upon by The Octonauts. It's cute.

I will be posting drabbles, scenarios, and reactions. Writing is mainly the point of this blog, but I’m definitely open to discussing topics like culture, politics, fashion, but not that often. I also will only post in English. It seems simpler to just post in one language, but you can request things and talk to me in another language, as long as it’s one I understand(see my bio). Also, because there is a pretty big chance of me posting nsfw content, I want NO MINORS to be interacting with NSFW content.

🎀𝒩𝓊𝓂𝒷𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓌𝑜🎀

~Smutt or anything remotely sexual for a minor(character or real person)

~Su*cide(self explanatory)

~Overly descriptive gore(yes I will write about death, murder, and injury, but nothing over the top and super descriptive)

Hooray You made it to the end! I will be posting on my own accord, but feel free to request anything that’s on the list. I will try my best to get to any request, but I am a busy college student(yay psychology😒). I do apologize in advance for any bad grammar, English isn’t my first language but I think I do pretty well.

Appearance & Personality:

As a teenager:

• Relationship coaching

When Yagami first meets Matsugane, he wears a satin red and white zip up varsity jacket, medium wash blue jeans, and red and white skate shoes.

When finding his parents dead at their house, he wears a black cropped blazer, red t-shirt, black baggy slacks, and black oxfords.

Yagami has a slim and athletic build, which allows him to move with fluidity and grace while fighting. He has medium-length black hair in a messy middle part. As a teenager, his hair was dyed brown and slicked back.

As a (ex) lawyer:

While in court, he wears a gray tweed two-piece suit with a red and white regimental striped necktie, a pair of brown dress shoes, and his attorney pin on his lapel. In several flashbacks to 2015, his hair is shown to be slicked back in a much more conservative style. He dislikes how he looks when he wears a suit.

As a detective (standard):

Yagami's standard outfit is a black asymmetrical zip up leather moto jacket with snap-down lapels and epaulettes over a fitted white tee-shirt, a pair of blue medium wash washed out skinny jeans that are distressed around the knees, and a pair of white low-top sneakers. He also wears a wireless earpiece in his right ear. He has a chain on his jeans, which attaches to his wallet to prevent it from being stolen.

How would you describe Yagami’s personality?

Judgment (—) :

• Impatient

• Antisocial

• Brotherly

• Empathetic (determinant)

• Investigative

• Inconspicuous (disguises)

• Paternal

• Romantic (determinant/optional)

• Mature

• Socially awkward (🤭)

• Comedic (dry sarcasm)

• Persuasive

• Easily confused ( 😆)

• Cool-headed

• Stubborn

Relationships:

Matsugane (✝️):

Matsugane saw himself in Yagami and raised him as a son. Yagami would later be introduced to Ryuzo Genda, who paid for his education and supported him as he went through law school, and offered him a part-time job at the Genda Law Office. Yagami spent his first paycheck on buying a coffee maker for Matsugane.

Genda:

After graduation, Genda offered Yagami a full-time job as an attorney and later became something of a paternal figure to the latter

Kaito:

During his teenage years, Yagami would get into alleyway fights with Masaharu Kaito, a member of the Matsugane Family. Eventually, the fights would catch the attention of its patriarch Mitsugu Matsugane, who saw himself in Yagami and raised him as a son.

Mitsu (OC):

Yagami had no idea where Mitsu’s passion for criminal activities came from but the more he tried to talk her out of it (for example putting thugs away rather than becoming one). However, the more they started butting-heads and would often drive Mitsu to be even more rebellious and defiant

TBC

Jun (AU):

Yagami was out of town — for a divorce mediation — when Kaito took their client’s case and briefly met (presumably) Jun in the hospital begore Kaito came to

Esther and Carl.

Esther Kwizera: Esther's parents decided to move to Ireland when her mother found out she was expecting. Both emigrated from Burundi to provide a better life for their child. Esther was a happy child, despite her family always being economically underprivileged. Throughout her life, she realized she wanted to become an elite athlete. Her ambition and charisma might take her to great heights. Her secret passion: is photography. Noteworthy: her charisma.

Carl Bathory: Carl Bathory is a 30-year-old man born and raised in Ireland. His secret passion is photography, and he identifies as heterosexual (at least up to the present date). He started studying sports science at university but never completed the course as he realized it wasn't his calling. Being quite skilled, he decided to pursue a political career because his goal was to change the world. Physically, Carl is in good shape. He is tall, with a mixed complexion, dark hair, and green eyes. In high school, he was a heartthrob, but he didn't do it with ill intentions; he just wanted to find his soulmate. His lifelong wish would be to have five children named Alycia, Ashlea, Chun, Trafford, and Benji.

| | Sul, sul everyone! I've decided to share these stories along with The Sims because playing this game is my passion. I'm sharing them here in case you want to download both characters (obviously, you can give them any story you want, even if you just want to play with one and dismiss the other, that's up to your imagination. In my game, for example, they are a couple).

You can find them in my Sims 4 gallery: 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐱

Note: To download them, you have to check the "show CC" box in the gallery.

Note 2: Please not redistribute these Sims to any other page. That, although I'm grateful, makes my tiles cut short.

Without further ado, thanks for everything simmers!
