#Fish stories

Oh. The top image was on Radar off to the side. The shadowy blue was even more blue. It looked deep. And raised the question in my head if it included raised waters. Which was a rather deep question. So I hit reblog and the other two images show up. Nope. Nope. It was the deep blue that made it work.

Bait Hooks Fish

Volter was stuck in the dumps of 1999. All the promise of the body he used to have went missing and was presumed dead. The merciless loop of home movies playing out in Kodak black and white caused his lumpy bald head to reel. It had been exhausting to sidestep so much pigeon shit while shooting in dim light. Somehow the pigeons always seemed to find his head.Volter used to be a plain old Walter…

Metamorphosis

[kedreeva]

These little fuckers are round gobies. They are a freshwater goby that's invasive in Michigan, and they're in the nearby lake. They're distinct from the four native species due to their fused pelvic fins (middle pic) and a big black dot at the rear of their front dorsal fin. Though some other gobies have spots on their fins, NO Michigan-native species has a fused pelvic fin. These guys are very aggressive feeders and are very good at outcompeting native gobies.

They're also extremely good at stealing bait off big hooks as people on the docks reel in their lines. In particular, the bastard in the bottom photo stole my bait two days ago, so I caught him and filleted him for Bug.

Today, after acquiring smaller hooks, I went back and got 16 more, and educated several other fishers about their invasive nature. I got two turned over to me by others, and caught 14 more myself.

One man wandered over and asked why I was catching them on purpose. It was too much trouble to explain my feelings about invasive species, so I just told him, one of them stole my bait two days ago. He stopped watching my bobber and boggled at me and goes:

"You're doing this for revenge?"

So now there's some guy in town that thinks I am exacting revenge upon fish kind for a single stolen worm.

#3 - "Magic"

Smaugust 2024

Ah yes, what wacky things the second arc did to the concept of animus magic... Really have to watch what comes out of your mouth.

Neighbor is putting the leaf blower on full blast at 6 in the morning? Make sure you've got a verifiable alibi before you tell them to "drop dead."

It’s so hard being the sort of fan that likes to think about the worldbuilding and nature of the creatures and plants and magic and history and whatever there exists in a piece of media, with pieces of media that do not absolutely have that as the focus at all and whose fans do not focus on these things at all either. I roll down into the tags and have to traverse miles and miles for even a tiny crumb of pondering of the same sort I do! Like what do you mean you guys don’t even think about the phylogenetic tree of the sapient species of the Moomin series. Or that the tumultuous history of Vinyl City from No Straight Roads has never crossed your mind. You’ve never pondered the nature of the Inns or Monsters in Miitopia? Night at the Museum’s magic implications? What do you even do??

Theres something falling from the sky and its falling fast.

So, what does Jon do? He catches it. Only it is not an it that he caught but a she. And she is dripping green all over. And boy does the green sure looks like its blood with all the gashes it was oosing out of.

Jon panics and does the only thing he can think of.

"DAD!"

Superman appears beside him near insantly.

"Jon, what's-"

He stops mid question as he spots the girl in his arms.

"Let's get her somewhere safe."

this was drawn a little over 2 weeks ago as i was in the middle of act 2! it's kind of funny in retrospect hahaha i put the star shaped light on sif as a nod to my vague theory that sif had a star for a heart/soul but lost it. Well it wasn't quite right but there was one line of dialogue going towards that direction? a win is a win

[egophiliac]

this chapter has been so absolutely nuts that I actually low-key forgot that I had a couple of new UM posters to do! wild! anyway, I gotta think about Lilia's some more, so here is my beautiful electric crocodile son in the meantime. god I hope this reads properly

(I went with Volt to go with his name, but there's a Bolt version too in the print-size folder!)

Brodie: I’m not unpacking for you, so don’t go far-.. and don’t get lost! [Alex yelled vague promises over her shoulder as she sped outside, the frigid wind whipping the door shut behind her. Brodie sighed, surrounded by silence and the faint smell of old tobacco and fish]
