#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

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."

Playtime :]

We had fish growing up. For a while my mom had a massive tank in which she prized several fancy fish types, carefully monitoring water levels and cleaning it. Then we got one sick fish and the whole tank collapsed. I watched fish slowly die as their fins rotted off. Suffice it to say my parent’s animal husbandry haunts me in adulthood. Vets were for other people in their minds.

After that we only had blatantly neglected guppies and betta. Their uncirculated bowls weren’t heated or cleaned regularly and mom was baffled that our betta kept trying to kill itself by leaping free of the toxic water.

After a determined campaign of whining from me about living conditions she found a large looney tunes style fish bowl, big enough to actually house an animal. She filled it with water and left the dirty jar the fish was currently living in next to it on the kitchen table as a reminder to swap them. We left to run errands.

When we returned home we were flummoxed to find the fish was burnt to a crisp and there was a small hole burned into our tablecloth.

You see, the sunlight had shone into the room while we were gone. The light refracted through the full clean bowl of water, cooking the poor fish, before refracting again onto the table like a magnifying glass.

When she realized the house had almost burned down because of a fish my mom finally stopped trying and focused on farm animals that could at least scream if mistreated.

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."

Every time Li Yu complains about the "fish-scamming system" this appears in my mind

star sailor 🎇

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
