It’s been half an hour and it had seemed that this and another of its buddy were still unable to catch a prey. So we left after taking a few shots as we were running late.

hello it is time for a VERY niche post. join me for... SHL characters as SNAKES!!!!! i tried to find snakes that naturally occur in china or near china, as a terrible added parameter—there's a TON of snakes in china, but i just don't know many so it's terrible bc it added a lot of work for me lol. but i've learned things! and found some cool snakes! so! let's go. pictures of snakes ahead, if that's not your thing, feel free to peace out.

Wen Kexing - Sinomicrurus macclellandi a coral snake! just a nice boy you know? just a nice, extremely venemous boy with dramatic red coloration. shamless plug for my fic where wkx turns into This Snake.

Zhou Zishu - Bungarus multicinctus look at this lovely unassuming snake. got some goth-y drama but overall not too bad, right? one of the most venomous land snakes in the world 😌 (also. he and wkx match but like in a complimentary way.)

Zhang Chengling - Pareas margaritophorus the first thing wikipedia says about this snake is that it is small and harmless. for the first time so far, i am not trying to mislead you. just a little snek boi!!!!!! cute!!!!!! I Want To Hold And Protect Him

Gu Xiang - Fowlea piscator look i'm gonna be honest. there are not a lot of snakes that are even REMOTELY purple but this one has a little purple whip tongue! also, not venemous but (if it's anything like water snakes in the US) kind of an asshole. apparently pretends to be a cobra. look at her go.

Cao Weining - Coelognathus radiatus this snake has no thoughts in its head. look at it. i don't mean as a species i mean This One. That's cwn. just sitting there doing a blep. no venom, apparently a defensive sort of dude. cool colors tho!

Luo Fumeng - Calliophis bivirgatus a different kind of coral snake! i've gone a bit further outside of china for this one but LOOK at how gorgeous it is. how could i not let lfm be this glamorous. also i like the idea that she's a different genus of snake than wkx but still a (venemous) coral snake.

Liu Qianqiao - Elaphe taeniura gonna be honest here, the common name of this snake in english is the beauty snake (or ratsnake), so i didn't think too much farther. there's a ton of different color morphs of it. look at it, the elegance! she's beauty she's grace she'll constrict you (if you are a small mammal)!

Xie Wang - Bungarus fasciatus this is a different krait! zzs has MANY bands, xw just has bands. a little brighter colored and more extra than zzs, sliiiightly less deadly, still can very definitely kill you. LOOK at that warning coloration. if i was to pick two characters to DEFINITELY have warning coloration, it WOULD be wkx and xw.

Du Pusa - Euprepiophis mandarinus this is NOT my best work, but i just thought this snake was really pretty and so i was determined to include it somehow. hence: dps. they are ~secretive~ apparently. also. again. Look At It

Ye Baiyi - Python bivittatus BIG BOY!!!! ALMOST THE BIGGEST BOY!!!!! does occur in white color morphs in captivity (and like, i guess presumably in the wild? at one point? but i have to imagine that's like. not so much a thing anymore.) also, did i pick the picture that looks the most like a cryptid? of course i did, it's yby. he doesn't want his picture taken. he doesn't want you to know he exists even. leave him alone. where he belongs in his natural habitat.

Han Ying - Lycodon septentrionalis a shiny pretty boy. a shiny pretty boy who looks very much like a many-banded krait, in fact. however, they're not venemous. hy just looks like zzs. again: LOOK AT THIS GOOD SNEK.

Jing Beiyuan - Ahaetulla prasina several things here. one, this is an elegant but strange boy (i don't think this shows just how weird this guy's nose looks. it's like someone took a snake's nose and used pliers to stretch it out all pointy). two, FASHION!!! look at those pattens!!!!! a striking example. and three, it looks kind of like wu xi's snakeclet

Wu Xi - Naja atra he's a cobra. i think this speaks for itself.

Incredible Aliens - Snakes 🐍👽

Snakes are one of the most misunderstood creatures on the Earth. Snakes came before Homo sapiens, around 140 million years ago and Humans have developed a love hate relationship with snakes for over thousands of years. Some worship them as Gods and some fear, hate and kill them.

In reality Snakes are benevolent keepers of ecological balance in nature. They help maintain balance in the ecosystem, by consuming a varied range of animals. Without snakes, the rodent population will go out of proportion.

1. Siamese Peninsula Pit Viper (Trimeresurus fucatus)

2. Mountain Slug Snake (Asthenodipsas vertebralis)

3. Long-nosed vine snake (Ahaetulla oxyrhyncha)

4. Kopstein's Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis kopsteini)

5. Temple Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri )

【【中字】-儿时与游戏的故事-杂谈（M17）-【樱井政博的的游戏小课堂】-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/Ycd8i3K

我对小时候最大的印象是任天堂FC游戏机，不过不是《超级马里奥》，因为我觉得它不够刺激。

我印象最深的FC游戏是《超级魂斗罗》，它的特色是当你前进的时候，前后左右上下都会有敌人扑出来，非常刺激，可惜的是敌人没有那种扑的动作，只有直立的动作。

例如森林里，敌人会从树上扑下来，真是感觉到了人在四面八方地战斗的感觉，你宁可不射击，也必须每一发子弹都不能打错方向，不然它子弹图像未消失之前你是没法发射子弹的，一旦没打到敌人自己就很危险了。

其次印象最深的是《沙罗曼蛇》的图片，有一条��和如同烈火的文字，可惜的是游戏标题竟然和海报完全不一样……(我去查了一下，发现我们两个宇宙的海报是有一些不一样的，我哪里好像是一条眼镜蛇咬着/穿过火焰组成的莎萝蔓蛇四个字，注意是有艹字部首的，而不是沙罗曼蛇，总之应该不是这么简单的，有一种立体感和威胁感，而这里的海报是只有一个蛇头，没有吐蛇舌头，也没有下方的蛇身，并没有立体感和那种威胁感，感觉像死掉的蛇一样。

我还记得一种长得像“绿瘦蛇Ahaetulla prasina”“绿蔓蛇Oxybelis fulgidus”的蛇，它和这两种蛇的区别就是蛇头是几乎三角型的，看起来非常危险)

当年的街机上竟然没有街机独有的《沙罗曼蛇》《宇宙巡航机》关卡，让人觉得很困惑，个人觉得这种严厉的游戏更应该只出现在街机上。

街机个人印象最深刻的是一个像FC《联合大作战(中东战争)》的游戏，是一个吉普车横版移动，射击UFO的游戏。

还有非常恐怖的游戏《地狱小和尚》，这个游戏非常恐怖，血池中会伸出手，你要跳在手上才不会掉进血池，反正对小孩是一场恶梦，(而且正常设计应该是不要接触手不然会把你拉入血池才对吧)，所以这个设计让我非常困惑。

还有非常恐怖的《忍者龙剑传》，假如��了会被电锯切开，这种想迫使玩家投币的想法很不好，反正我看到这种画面就很反感，而且游戏质量和FC上的差太多了，在街机中没有达到像FC上和别的游戏相比图像优秀很多的情况，我是一次都不会投币的。

让人困惑的游戏是《战国传承》，完全不知道那些颜色的球有什么用，但是它看起来很好玩，可惜完全不明白在玩什么。

个人认为做得最好的是卡普空的街机游戏类，例如《异形大战铁血战士》，还有一些格斗游戏，最想玩的是《口袋战士》但是完全不明白它的宝石之类是怎么用的，《恶魔战士》也感觉很好，主要是那种不同方向的技能和正常的格斗游戏技能必须从自己角色身体发出有很大区别，例如萨贝鲁(丧尸吉他手，隐约记得是可以在地面伸出电锯)，这种攻击让自己无法行动，同时攻击发出的地点不是自己的身体。

还有萨贝鲁滑铲时脚会变成电锯，同时具备移动和改变自己受攻击判定范围，也就是一个技能具备多种改变，而且移动中也没法撤销，这种技能对自己和对面玩家都是一种很有趣的体验。

我最喜欢的角色是僵尸泪泪，猫女菲莉西娅，莉莉丝还可以，攻击也是多种多样。)

最让人眼睛痛的是《少年街霸》《战斗回路》《忍者棒球》，他们都是非常艳丽的配色。

桑吉尔夫原本有个设定是苏联的运载火箭专家，但是后来被删除了，个人觉得“只要力量够，砖头也能飞”其实很适合桑吉尔夫。

没有人规定打人的人就不能是科学工作者，拳法也是一种科学，如何制造对自己这个体质最有利的攻击方式是非常科学研究的一回事，是一种博弈，例如蛊术士攻击我但是没有用，因为我天然克制他的行动。

没有最强的拳法，只有最适合你的战斗方式，例如你手长脚长，那燕青拳这种长拳当然很好，但是螳螂拳的创始人和朋友学了很久燕青拳，发现自己打不过身材高大的朋友，于是就为自己创造了螳螂拳。

假如你身体虚弱，当然像梁赞那样用咏春，涌动寸劲摧毁对手。

李小龙的武功是最适合李小龙的武功，有多少人有发明或者知道那种是对他们自己最有利的武功么？

吴京拍军人片是因为他内心很中国北京军人。

李连杰的片是因为他有他有80年代中国人的哲学思想，这是因为他曾经活在中国，这个不是国籍决定的，就好像我说现在活在中国的人被污染了，将来就算他们国籍变了也可能没法摆脱内心的黑暗。最接近李连杰自己的电影，其实他很多电影都很接近他自己，因为李连杰的思想也一直在变，个人觉得最接近他的是电影倚天屠龙记吧，就是那个“我的战斗力只有8000，他的起码有一万以上”，这句话真的有点莫名其妙又莫名其妙地搞笑，总觉得这电影和那个《天龙八部之天山童姥》一样不那么正常，说这句台词不好，又不是那么不好，说它好，它又不是很好，要是拿掉这句台词，又有点不好，要是不拿掉，又有点不好，就是让人很难捉摸。

赵文卓内心很纯粹，他的情感是很纯粹的，就拿我来说吧，就算我必须作恶，我告诉你我不是那种喜欢阴谋害人的人，我即使作恶也很纯粹，绝对不是中国政府那种搞阴谋的人，别人说谎是为了害人，我说谎只是为了应付应付家里人，因为家人你说真话会很麻烦，你又不能摆脱家人的身份，除非你真的抛弃自己整个家族。有很多事我是不该说的，我说这些东西只是为了避免麻烦，不是为了坑害别人，除非他害人在先，总之我是守护式的，不是伤害别人的。

就像武功一样，你必��知道你是谁，除非你是梁家辉，梁家辉拍谁���谁，你的战斗思路是怎样的？

不过洪金宝这种人年轻的时候对付绝大部分人只要侧身用手脚封住肋下等位置，顶住或者挡开对方攻击扑过去，用手脚对着对方身体狠狠拍下去踩下去就解决问题了，只要被洪金宝抓到就是被压死，这样的强者其实不是很需要武功，武功是弱者为了战胜强者而研发的，科学工作者会研发武术其实是最合理不过的事，因为武术本身就是一种研发，它为什么打出去不好看，看起来不舒展是有原因的，它是你如何反应，敌人如何反应，力学，力量如何传递之类的总和和取舍。

我不会去打架，我的目标是消灭对方，我的战斗方式不是出现了敌人才去考虑如何消灭敌人，而是自己站在正确的位置上，所以任何人假如攻击我或者无视我，那他一定是在错误位置上，所以就算一开始就没有我，就算我已经死了，他也必死和必须死，他不死人类全得死。

我或者不会赢，但是对方一定不如我，我假如赢了对方还能吃好喝好，我要是输了对方也得输。

事实上中国政府蛊术士之类来窃取我，他早就输了。

我打人不会上场，我会用其他手法把人消灭，因为那不是我应该做的，李小龙打洪金宝都不会去和洪金宝比桥手对撞，会选择出其不意和速度。

就像房地产商搞房地产，你的楼房要卖出去有人会去派传单，他不会去抢派传单这个工作来做，对吧？

中国政府舍弃自己的优势，非要窃取我，就等于地产商自己一个去派传单一样，完全不是他的工作，不该做这件事。

事实上我的确做得到蛊术士做的事，我甚至做得了中国政府所有的工作，但是问题是我做了之后，别人做不了我要做的事，结果就是全灭。

我肯做这些麻烦的事就等于让利给中国政府，让中国政府和他们的后代做轻松的事，我自己做麻烦的事，而且利益大多数还在中国政府和后代手里，是不是对他们很好？他们舍弃最好的未来，非要做这些事，就是他们有问题了。

你要开公司都不会自己一个人做完所有事，为什么你要来窃取我的做我的事？这等于房地产商不搞好房地产，非要去抢派传单的工作一样，亏大本。

做人不能只盯着那点小钱，不肯投资就赚不到大钱，中国今天没地方投资就是因为我失败了所以可投资领域都不再存在了，有很多利益是无形的，你明明可以通过蛊术士知道我说的都是真的，你们非要说是假的，你明明知道这样做未来就是一定会崩溃，你非要去做，神��救不了你，给你那么大利益还贪小便宜，统治世界你不要，万世安全你不要，无限财富你不要，非要害人，我不知道你们什么脑回路，我只能判定你们是疯子。

中国政府失败不是别人攻击他们，是他们全靠自己的能力去失败的。

Appointed To Die

Despite having put up a valiant fight including biting the snake torso at one point, this gecko didn’t stand much of a chance in the confined space of the tank. To many of us who were watching, it was a sad end for the gecko but it was really meant to be the meal for the Oriental Whip snake. Image was captured in the former…
