#Hydrofity

Kurka wodna w trzech wymiarach

PL: Dzisiaj również zdjęcia zdjęcia z Łodzi, ale diametralnie inne, bo ornitologiczne - sam się takich tam zrobić nie spodziewałem.

Park Helenów w Łodzi pozytywnie zaskoczył mnie bogactwem różnorodności ptaków, w szczególności wodnych. W parkowych stawach, bogatych w hydrofity pływały zarówno kaczki i łyski (o których innym razem) jak i kurki wodne. I - jakby tego było mało - były to zarówno dorosłe kokoszki, młodsze osobniki o burym upierzeniu i pstre pisklęta, które całkiem śmiało sobie poczynały buszując w trawniku zaraz obok ludzi spacerujących alejkami.

EN: Today, once again, photos from Łódź, but completely different, because they are ornithological photos - I did not expect to take such photos in this place.

Helenów Park in Łódź positively surprised me with the rich diversity of birds, especially water birds. In the park ponds, rich in hydrophytes, there were ducks, coots (more about them another time) and moorhens swimming around. And - as if that were not enough - there were both adult hens, younger individuals with dark plumage and colorful chicks, which were doing quite boldly, browsing in the lawn right next to people walking along the alleys.

fun foct - for the with testosterone

carbon when inhaled, even in small doses, can mix with testosterone, in your blood through a process called, micoton-hydrofication where it can shrink your dick.

So as the climate crisis gets worse, pow.yaho.com in 2022, published a paper. showing a strong correlation between the temperature of the globe caused by carbon emissions, and the decline in size of amab penises when testosterone was present. Interesting anyone who was amab but had a little to no testosterone, because of pills such as spironolactone. where not affected, which is what we believe the carbon interacts with testosterone.

Peru, 50 million years in the future

In the time of humans, guano was a valuable resource. These accumulations of excrement built over thousands of years were valued as fertilizer, as guano is rich in phosphates, nitrogen, and potassium. The deposits on this island, off the western coast of South America, were harvested first by indigenous Americans, then Spanish colonists. Industrial mining processes had destroyed the habitat of millions of seabirds, decimating their populations. Furthermore, guano miners had hunted birds and their eggs for food. On this stretch of coast, over 90% of the resident seabird populations were destroyed.

After 50 million years, both the birds and the guano accumulations have recovered. Seabird diversity was impacted both by the Holocene extinction and the later Angelean turnover event. Many seabird lineages managed to survive, however, and these survivors have radiated into the rich colonies that cover the rocks now. In the time of humans, the guano on these islands was primarily produced by cormorants, boobies, and pelicans. Now, the dominant seabirds here are petrels, bladewings, and diving-vultures. The composition of the guano, therefore, is slightly different than those 50 million years ago. It still retains its feracious value, but the last guano mine shut down ages ago.

But the guano wasn’t what this ottercat cared about. Swimming through the waters just offshore, she was more interested in the birds themselves, and the eggs they were sitting on. It was the middle of summer, peak breeding season for these birds. The majority inhabitants of this island were black-capped bladewings, streaked bladewings, yellow-headed diving-vultures, and South American lean-petrels. The ottercat’s ancestors, feral cats that lived in the urban parks of Lima, had preyed upon birds all the time, as part of their broad diets. After 50 million years, however, her lineage had adapted to a semiaquatic lifestyle. No longer were they the adept predators of small prey their ancestors were. A healthy bladewing would be too swift to ambush, and the diving-vultures and petrels could defend themselves. Instead, her goal was the eggs of the bladewings.

She leapt out of the water onto the rocky shore of the island and began climing her way up the rocks. Although most of the colonies nested on a near-vertical cliff face on the other side of the island, there were still many birds on this somewhat shallower slope. The footholds were still precarious, but this was nothing the ottercat couldn’t handle. Her paws had surprisingly strong grips, and she had successfully carried out egg raids on this island before. The lower edge of the colony area was occupied by bladewings, while diving-vultures claimed the top of the island. As she further ascended the island, one of the bladewings noted her presence. It let out a shrill alarm chirp, which set off the other bladewings. Many of the breeding pairs promptly deserted their nests, taking to the sky to save their own lives. A bird that flies away may nest another day. As an incessantly chirping flurry of the black-and-white birds ascended from the rock, they left behind hundreds of nests. Each nest was, at most, a simple depression in the guano, bearing two eggs each. All these eggs could be a feast for the industrious ottercat, who had the entire rock face to herself. Climbing up to a flatter rock face, she approached the closest of the nests. Her powerful jaws made short work of each of the eggs, which she ate whole. She could crush mollusks with her powerful jaws, eggs were no issue. Although bird eggs were not a staple of the average ottercat’s diet, the developing embryos inside were still a potential source of valuable protein. And with this many nests, the cost-benefit ratio could potentially be much higher than catching fish.

But the thing about climbing on guano-covered rocks is that one misplaced foot can upset your entire balance.

The ottercat placed her right front paw on a more loosely compacted ridge of guano. The ridge destabilized. Her reflexes could not grab onto more stable rocks in time. A number of bladewing nests crumbled with it and began sliding down the side of the islands with her. The guanoslide continued halfway down the side of the island until the ottercat slipped over a ledge and entered a brief freefall.

Ksplash! She slammed into the surface of the ocean water below. Amazingly, the fall wasn’t enough to kill her. Having inherited a self-righting reflex from her ancestors, she landed belly-first; this helped reduce injuries from the fall, as her limbs absorbed some of the shock. After making sense of what happened, she returned to the surface to take a breath. The impact had hurt, for sure, but nothing felt broken. She descended into the water, heading away from the islands and back out to sea. So the egg raid had failed, but at least she was still alive. She could hunt again. Maybe fish would be a wiser choice this time.

DARK ROMANCE

an interview with @meonlyred​‘s Lucwayn Tal Sivron for Port & Planet Magazine

(click images for full size; full text of interview under the cut) Thank you to @meonlyred for collaborating with me on this project. She is responsible for the character, and posing for the pictures, and the answers to all the interview questions. I had the time of my life making this with you.

You may know him as a Wrath, as a warrior, as the handsome shadow behind the Alliance Commander -- Sith Lord Lucwayn Tal Sivron is all of these things, but as I learned in the peculiar intimacy of a hangar bay photoset one early autumn afternoon on Odessen, he is not only these things.

 The secretive Alliance base is a place where legends come alive, and Lord Lucwayn is no exception. Shrouded as he is in stories of battle and bloodshed and some of the most salacious gossip this side of the Perlemmian, it’s easy to be surprised by the raw, seductive humanity of the man who met me in that hangar bay with a lazy smile and a bottle of Zakuulan wine.

 Already styled for his later photoshoot, Lord Lucwayn arrives to our interview harnessed in gold and draped in luxurious scarlet, a tantalizing garment perfectly designed to accentuate the hard planes and ripe swells of musculature across his exquisitely sculpted form. He is a vision of temptation, a forbidden fruit you can’t help wanting to taste, and the coy glint in his eye suggests he knows it.

 He is a man who drips with confidence, whose every languid movement is full of promise--a promise that could be for pain just as easily as for pleasure. I am immediately captivated by him, as is everyone on the set that day..

 For a Sith, Lord Lucwayn is patient with me as I remember how to form words so I can ask about the human being and his very human (or Twi’lek, as it were) connections beneath the glamor and the legend. The following interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

 PORT & PLANET: It’s been a busy couple of months here on Odessen. Do you and your wife have big plans for the Festival of Love or are you going to keep things lowkey this year?

SIVRON: Vette and I take every opportunity we can to have celebrations. The Festival of Love is a particular favorite of ours. Since we had to be apart for so long, there is a lot of celebrating to catch up on.

 PORT & PLANET: How are the two of you planning to celebrate?

SIVRON: [Smiles devilishly] Music, wine, and fine food. Then a very long evening privately, maybe with an extra friend or two.

 PORT & PLANET: So the rumors about you two having an open marriage are true?

SIVRON: It's funny how many people assume we're kidding. It's been part of our relationship since the beginning. Something we have communicated with each other extensively. I might have been with many but I have only ever loved one, my wife.

 PORT & PLANET: Do the two of you have any… frequent guests?

SIVRON: Not as many as you might think. And not the ones you might think. Usually it's one time appearances.

 PORT & PLANET: Anyone in particular you’re courting for The Festival of Love?

SIVRON: [Winks] That remains to be seen. Have to talk it over with Vette first.

 PORT & PLANET: There are lots of rumors that you’ve had the Commander of the Alliance in your bed. Any truth to that?

SIVRON: The Commander is a lovely and bold woman. Anyone would be lucky to be invited to her bed. But I won't sully the reputation of a Jedi or that of our leader by answering that.

 His words may be coy, but the smile that creeps across Lord Lucwayn’s face as he speaks of the Commander is so genuine I’m almost moved by it. It’s clear to see where the rumors of their sexual relationship come from--there’s a deep fondness there, an even deeper respect--but it seems he would be playing a different kind of coy if there was any truth to them. If the Commander is sleeping with someone on her staff, it probably isn’t Lord Lucwayn Tal Sivron.

 PORT & PLANET: Then what about her rumored lover? People say you’ve had him in your bed too.

SIVRON: [Mutters into his wine glass] Not for lack of trying. [Aloud] Our spymaster seems to be too in love with his work to have time for extracurricular activities.

 He gives the spymaster’s “work” such a particular emphasis, with such a twinkle in his eye, I can’t help wondering if this is yet another thing Lord Lucwayn is trying to say without saying. I can’t help wondering if he cultivates this air of secrecy for his own protection, for the Alliance’s protection, or merely because he knows how much more irresistible the air of mystery makes him. I find the reasons don’t matter; I’m drawn in by all the things he isn’t saying and desperate to hear him not say more.

 PORT & PLANET: Any names of note you can drop that have been guests in your bed? Before or after your marriage. You’ve got quite a reputation.

SIVRON: If you know my reputation then you probably already know that answer. Some like to brag and some like to lie. Allow them to keep their boast.

 PORT & PLANET: Alright, alright. Point taken. But I’ve been speaking with some of the former Imperials around the base and they tell me you were married once before Vette. Is that true?

SIVRON: Not entirely correct. I was engaged to be married. My family was very traditional even among the Sith and arranged a marriage between the Sivrons and the Novarrs for political and lineage purposes.

 PORT & PLANET: But then you met Vette?

SIVRON: I met Vette on Korriban. She was instrumental in helping me complete my trials there. I don't think I would have succeeded without her.

 PORT & PLANET: That’s a pretty powerful statement for a Sith. When did you first realize you loved her?

SIVRON: As with all good things it took time. It was a gradual realization that came from a thousand little things.

 PORT & PLANET: When did you tell her you loved her?

SIVRON: Short answer: when the moment was right. With the position I'm in, I wanted to make sure it was something I was ready to say and she was ready to hear.

 There is a weight to his voice as he tells me about the history of his romance with his wife that suggests yet more being left unsaid, both things that trouble him and things that delight him, but pressing Lord Lucwayn for details doesn’t make him any more forthright. And there’s probably a reason Vette declined to join us for this interview.

 PORT & PLANET: Did you ever worry about your relationship being used against you?

SIVRON: Within the Empire there are many things that can be used against you. I didn't get in the position I’m in by being unable to circumvent or quell such obstacles. I also know that Vette is more than capable.

 PORT & PLANET: Which one of you proposed? Did either of you have cold feet? What was your wedding like?

SIVRON: [Chuckles] I proposed but it was Vette who told me to do so. No cold feet, only swept ones. As for the wedding, Vette wanted a traditional Twi'lek wedding. It's a long ceremony that took most of the day, consisting of a ritual bathing, tea service, and a sermon given in Ryl. Truly I think the Twi'lek take the honor of having the most elaborate weddings.

 If the sudden sincerity in his smile when he discussed the Commander was a surprise, then the way Lord Lucwayn seems to melt when he speaks about his wife is downright shocking. His words about Vette are tender, but cannot even begin to capture the softness in his eyes or the earnest affection in his smile. It’s an incongruous sight on a man who ripples with barely restrained power and drips with sexual energy, but it’s no less magnetic than anything else he does. I can’t look away.

 PORT & PLANET: So what are your favorite things about Vette? What makes her the match of a Sith Lord?

SIVRON: [Grins] Vette is as adventurous as I am both in the bed and out. I can always count on her to get us into the most delightful trouble.

 PORT & PLANET: And if we asked Vette, what would she say she loves most about you?

SIVRON: I think she would tell you that I have the best ass in the galaxy.

 PORT & PLANET: The two of you spent five years apart while you were held prisoner by Zakuul. What was it like seeing each other again after so much time?

SIVRON: [Smiles fondly] I had tried to be romantic, launching into something about crossing the span of stars and time to be by her side again. But my love had other plans for me.

 PORT & PLANET: So you like making grand gestures. What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for Vette?

SIVRON: Vette has a passion for reclaiming Twi'lek artifacts. There have been many times I have helped her "persuade" art dealers to part with some of their ill-attained collections.

 PORT & PLANET: What’s the most romantic thing she’s ever done for you?

SIVRON: I'd like to give a vague answer about everything she does being romantic to me. It isn't too far from the truth. It is a wonder that she has chosen me.

 PORT & PLANET: It sounds like the two of you have a really great relationship. Any advice for the newlyweds out there?

SIVRON: Communication is always the key to any relationship. Talk and be honest with each other about every preference you have, from food to sex. They say the Force brings people together, but it takes work to stay together.

 It isn’t until the interview is long concluded and the dazzle of watching him pose for the holocams has finally faded that I realize how little new information I actually got out of Lord Lucwayn Tal Sivron. He is a master of half-truths and distraction, wielding that charming smile and alluring gaze as expertly as he wields his lightsaber.

 All his powers of misdirection and secrecy still are not enough to overcome his passion for his wife. I can’t know if he meant to let me see the depth of his love for her, but it was impossible not to see it as he spoke of Vette. It was so present, so apparent in his every look and gesture, I could swear I fell a little bit in love with her myself.

  It’s reassuring to know that beneath the power that swirls around him like a storm, beneath the stories and the gossip and the duties of his position in the Alliance, Lord Lucwayn Tal Sivron is a man with a heart that beats for love, just like the rest of us.

[ headcanon that the seven ninja swordsmen weren't actually meant to be ruthless but like guardians for kirigakure until further down the generation people had more ruthless intentions because kirigakure became poorer and poorer and instead of protecting the village they only protected themselves and started killing people that they saw as a threat. ]

[ another headcanon that kirigakure's clans didn't have clans that possessed kekkei genkai unless it was the hozuki, and like other clans the hozuki were attacked and killed off because they feared their hydrofication jutsus, and they were actually planning on overthrowing the second mizukage because he was a hozuki and mu's fight with him was a set up thing to get him killed off and the third mizukage was planning it all along for him to be the next mizukage because he personally despised the hozuki clan so uh.... THAT was a very long and wild explanation but hopefully it makes sense. ]
