#archea

[baggebythesea]

I can't even begin to say how happy I am that Dungeon Meshi included a friggin' Winogradsky column in its explanation of how ecosystem works.

Just swap "spirits" for "microbes" and replace "mana" with "nutritents" and you're all there.

Oh, and since they used fire as an indicator for spirit activity, we can intuit that they tested for methane gas, which means that at least some of the spirits are stand-ins for archea, the only known microbes to produce methane.

the new magic

an incomplete account of the fall of one world and the birth of another

in ages past, magic belonged to the warlocks and god-kings, the cursed and corrupted, the deceived and the betrayed. magic was eldritch and inscrutable. it demanded ritual and sacrifice. magic was a tool that shaped its shapers, a whisper which promised nameless power at the price of the will to wield it. magic was a gift from the unseen, but when much is given, much is returned, and the rates of exchange were far from fair.

Archea rools!

Archea is one of the three domains, along with Bacteria and Eukarya (THAT LAST ONE I LIKE THAT ONE! THEY'RE MY FAVORITE, BUT OTHER TWO ARE REALLY NEAT TOO!!!) Viruses don't count, they don't get living privileges (lol get fucked viruses)

(Example diagram of prokaryote cells. Pro means before, denoting the ancient nature of these cells, karyote means nut/kernel because... uhhhhhh I dunno, please tell me if you do.)

Archea is prokaryotic , which means they're single celled and lack a nucleus, back in ye olden days there were two EMPIRES the Prokaryotes and the eukaryotes, archea was named Archeabacteria (or primitive bacteria) and bacteria was called Eubacteria (or true bacteria), these terms have been abolished, Archea is considered its own group and the three domain system has been picked over the two empire system due to accuracy. The word Prokaryote is still used to denote single celled nucleus-less lifeforms, grouping bacteria and archea together by doing so.

(Archea... majestic)

These guys feed (depending on the species) on anything from the Sun, autotrophy (though never at the same time, unlike plants and cyanobacteria) to metal ions, hydrogen gas and even boring stuff like sugars (haha, me too Archea, me too) the first one we discovered lived in extreme conditions such as hot springs where no other lifeforms lived, but after advancements, we've found 'em all over, even on/in ourselves!

Same as bacteria life without these (extremely) tiny lads would be rough for good, honest multicelluar Eukaryotes like you (probably) and me, and uh, just about every living thing you can see with your naked eyes, yeah, Eukaryotes have exclusive access to the multicellular perk, we're so fucking cool.

What do I mean by rough? Well certain species are on and aid ALL multicellular organisms, they are in/on human's gut, skin, mouth, and so on, they help you with carbon fixation; nitrogen cycling; organic compound turnover; and maintaining microbial symbiotic and syntrophic communities, that's like, a lot!

Unlike bacteria, there's no known Archeal pathogens or parasites, instead, almost always being mutulists (existing in a relationship between two+ lifeforms which benefits both lifeforms) or commensalistic (existing in a relationship between two+ lifeforms where one benefits and the other is unaffected) how sweet of them!

(Pictured from top to bottom and left to right: cool dudes)

Archea seems to be brushed aside in favor of its siblings the Bacteria and the Eukaryotes, but they're chill lil guys, I recommend reading more on all mentioned topics, I sure will (especially on Eukaryotes!)

Wait sorry, was this off topic?

wrote this story fragment a while ago but never posted it:

from a young age she was filled with a fascination for what she did not know. She questioned bedtime, breakfast, and baths, the wind and the sunrise, the decrees of the village leaders, shadows, mirrors, mushrooms, and prayers. Everything she saw, she wanted to understand its purpose, its origin, its subtleties. When she came across a question which couldn't be answered, she would not rest until she had asked every person she knew, much to the annoyance of the villagers. She was unashamed of her ignorance and became indignant when her elders dodged questions to avoid confessing their own. "Where do clouds go?" she said to the shepherd one day. "Over the hills," he replied. "But where do they go next?" "On and over the hills there," he responded wearily. "But where do they end up? Do they go on and on forever?" "Aye, they... drift on until they reach the end of the world, I suppose." "If you don't know, say you don't know," she insisted with a pout. "By blood, alright! I don't know! Go an' bother your mother!" She pestered the priest with so many questions that he eventually taught her to read so she could "pursue the truth relentlessly on your own two feet." There were precious few books in the village at all, and so every time traders came through town she would be out among them, eyes hungrily scanning their wares for those vellum casks of knowledge. Soon the merchants knew her by name, and would seek out new books for her in their travels. "What ho, Julie? How did you fare in your studies into, ah, op-ticks?" "Very well, mister Pestle," she replied politely, setting a worn parchment book down on their cart. "I learned all about the working of telescopes, though it didn't say much about how they are made. Did you find anything for me at Clefthaven?" They chuckled, eyes sparkling. "Telly-scopes, indeed! Yes, as-a-matter-of-fact I got you *two* books to choose from. One is on farming wheat- thats a kind of grain, you know, like rice, that they grows farther south of here- and *this* one is about..." They squinted at the title. "Ah. The Historie of the Kings of Bantir. Heavy stuff. Now as always, I'll trade you one for your tome on op-ticks. What'll it be?" Jules grinned triumphantly. "I'd like to buy them both, mister Pestle." She reached up to place two thick copper coins on the counter next to *The Intricate Studye of Optics.* Mister Pestle knew full well that their merchandise was worth three times what she had offered them, but they only laughed louder and made a show of inspecting the payment. "Is that so? And how did you come by this small fortune?" "I asked shells from everyone in the village. I did chores for mama and miss Idori and mister Nestor, and I found safe mushrooms for Artha's stew, and taught Beli How to tie a peregrine knot. And the priest gave me two shells just for asking. He said I 'might have less pressing need of his erudition' if I had more books." The girl seemed slightly hurt by this. Pestle smiled gently. "Seems like you're making quite the scholar of yourself. And just between you and me, I don't think that priest of yours knows half as much as he likes to let on. Don't pay him any mind- jus keep learnin', and soon he'll be the one askin' you questions." They pocketed the coins and presented the two new books to Jules with a florish. "Go on now. and I expect to hear all about the ill-us-tree-us Kings o' Banter when i come back south, mind!" She beamed at them. "thank you very much, mister Pestle." And, in an exaggerated coastal accent: "It was a PLEASURE doing BUSINESS with you." The two bowed dramatically to each other, and Jules ran off into the village to read.

— imagine going down on heeseung at the back of his car 🫠

the way his legs would spread automatically to make room for you, a cocky smirk spreading across his lips. his hand comes to hold the back of your head, guiding you to his clothed cock that is practically throbbing for your attention. you haven't even started anything and he's already so needy for you.

"be a good girl, yeah?" he hums, making quick work of his jeans and his underwear. he lets the fabric pool around his knees, too desperate to have himself shoved into your tight mouth to care about completely removing his clothing.

his cock stands between his legs, the tip red and leaking. heeseung doesn't need to say much else really. the sight of his cock is already enough to have your mouth watering, not hesitating a second more before peppering open mouthed kisses around his head.

"fuckkk..." heeseung groans. his brows furrow as he struggles to keep his eyes open, fighting the onslaught of overwhelming pleasure just to watch his head disappear into your tight little mouth. he can't help the shiver that runs down his spine as your run your tongue across his slit, exactly the way he loves it. he's not afraid to let you know how well you're doing either.

"just like that, baby," he moans, his thighs tensing as you take more of his length into your mouth. "feels so fuckin' good." his fingers tighten into your hair, his hips instinctively bucking as you hollow your cheeks.

his head is thrown back into the leather material of the seat as you sink your mouth further down his length. one little peek up at him from your lashes has your panties soaked.

heeseung's brows are scrunched together, his eyes shut tight. his mouth is parted into an "o", his rough moans and grunts continuously flowing out of his mouth. knowing that your actions were the cause of his state simply makes you delirious.

when you moan around his cock at the sight of his ecstasy, his breath hitches. it takes a lot of effort for him to crack his eyes open to peer down at you, his cock stuffed into your mouth and hitting the back of your throat.

"you like that, hm?" he hums, grunting when you nod your head. "you like seeing how good you're makin' me feel, baby?" before you know it, the man is gripping your head in place, shallowly thrusting his length in and out of your mouth.

"oh, fuck," heeseung hisses, his thrusts turning frantic as you take whatever he gives you. "shit, baby... your mouth is making me feel so good." he murmurs, mindlessly fucking into your wet cavern.

when you start to time the bobbing of your head with his thrusts, heeseung completely loses it. his hips falter and his back arches to get himself to reach the back of your throat one last time.

"fuck, fuck, fuck," he chants unbashedly, his orgasm approaching embarrassingly quick. "i'm gonna cum. a-ah! holy shit, baby 'm gonna cum."

you pop your mouth off of him. your hand wraps around his length, furiously pumping his cock as you open your mouth and sticking your tongue out for him to cum into. good lord, the sight had heeseung right on the edge.

"oh my god, yes, yes, yes! fuck, that's a good girl," he cries out, voice rising in tone. his hands move from yoir head to the headrest of the backseat, arms flexing as he feels the pressure build in his stomach. "fuckkk, baby, that's it! don't stop... keep going." he's sure his eyes roll to the back of his head when he feels the pressure in his stomach snap.

pearly white ropes of cum shoot out of him, his back permanently archea as his hips instinctively rub his tip across the smooth muscle of your tongue. "f-fuck!"

"a-ah! 'm cumming! take it all like a good girl," he moans. he's practically whinning with how high pitched his voice is. an airy and breathless pant escapes him with each drop of cum your milk from his tip, a stark contrast to the rough and hoarse tone he was using earlier.

"oh my god, you drive me nuts." he chuckes breathlessly, giving you no time to recover as he pulls you up for a heated kiss. it doesn't take long before he's pushing you back into the backseat, his lips pressing open mouthed kisses to every corner of your exposed skin.

"h-heeseung–" you try speaking, a gasp leaving you as his hand sneaks into your skirt to feel the wetness in between your legs.

"my poor baby," he coos, nibbling at a the skin right underneathe your collar bone. "got so wet giving me the best head, huh? you want a reward?"

"lay back, sweetheart. i'll take care of you."

"Woah, that's incredible! According to my peepahiw his mech was made there! You're really cool!"

A new dropship made its way to Battery Hawk, dropping off reinforcements. Among them was the former merc, walking now with a slight limp, and what appeared to be a set of 4 Blakists dogtags wrapped around her wrist.

"Allright, landbound again, lets see if we can find boss..."

“The change took place to begin with in the spiritual world, in that the Beings who had been leading hitherto were replaced by that spiritual Being who may be described as the Being of Michael. Michael, has taken over the Spiritual guidance of humankind. The fact that Michael is now entering the soul-life and spiritual life of humankind has its visible counterpart on Earth. An ever growing number of people begin to realize that the human being is livingly and constantly connected, not only through their physical body with the Earth, but through their soul and spirit with the spiritual world.

The human being is thus growing into conscious spiritual knowledge. This is the one aspect of the leadership of Michael, but there is also another. To be sincerely filled with spiritual knowledge also affects the human heart, the human soul. The more the light of Spiritual Science spreads, the less will it remain a mere theory; it will pour out into human feeling, — it will be present in the form of true human love, in ever widening circles.”

--Rudolf Steiner, Planetary Spheres and Their Influence on Mans Life on Earth and in the Spiritual Worlds, VI.

Michael

Archangel of the First Ray

Michael is the Archangel of the First Ray - the Ray of Protection, Faith and the Will of God. He is the Prince of the Archangels and the Angelic Hosts, the Defender of the Faith, the Angel of Deliverance.

Archangel Michael is head of the “Lord of Hosts” and fights with any manifestation of corrupt and negative energy.

He serves the interests of the Lord in this universe and does His work in the manner commanded by His honor.

His name means “ Nobody like God.” Archangel Michael is so transparent that He lets the Divine Light come through us, through which we discover God.

The divine complement of Michael - Archea Faith.

ooo

[nonexistent-triangle]

because like if every single living thing got human level conciousness we'd all be fucked a in a lot of ways but i do envy the many bacteria and archea of the deep biosphere who can spend endless lifetimes simply chilling turning methane into water and carbon dioxide and iron into rust while inventing their own literary tradition in conversation with all the other bacteria and archea because theres fuck all else to do than write tragicomedic poetry about what if you encountered a really fucked up molecule while doing metabolism
