There are no salamanders living in the Caribbean today, but one tiny fossil shows that this wasn't always the case.

Palaeoplethodon hispaniolae was discovered in a chunk of amber from the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola. The exact age of this type of amber is uncertain, but it most likely dates to the early-to-mid Miocene, about 20-15 million years ago.

The only known specimen is a hatchling, just under 2cm long (0.8"). It's unclear what its full adult size could have been, but based on its modern relatives it may have grown to anywhere between 4.5cm and 20cm long (~2-8").

Its strongly webbed hands and feet suggest it was very closely related to modern tropical climbing salamanders – but Palaeoplethodon had a unique webbing arrangement, with its feet relatively elongated and its hands fully fused into small rounded pads.

Do you Believe in Ghosts Stories?

so I may have rewatched the PotC trilogy and my obsession for it may have returned 20 years later. I regret nothing. also who else likes Barbossa because I have always had an inexplicable crush on him *coughs*

original hd pics + art process are on my patreon! ✨✌

#this fanart took too many hours but I'm happy with it #you can expect more potc fanart from me #also a little bit of sparbossa because I love them haha #it looks so bad edited with the anti-ai program but what else can i do #fanart #pirates of the caribbean #pofc #pirate #digital art #hector barbossa

Ain't nothing come easy / No, nothing comes quick / But I want for you this, that you are well / I want for us this, that we are well...

Another illustration of Temeraire-crossover fic — this time, James Norrington and Tempest, from @boltlightning's delightful Pirates of the Caribbean crossover 'windfall / landfall'.

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #pirates of the caribbean #james norrington #temeraire worldbuilding collection #<- since it is a similar sort of Temeraireverse Sidequest to the rest of the drawings in the project #once again drawing off tumblr user travellingdragon's incredible fanart-cataloguing work (as well as anglewing butterflies)#to figure out the look of anglewings for tempest here!#this particular pose was referenced off of jon dxppercxdxver's beautiful babycat for the Most possible kittybaby energy #he would like to show you One Single Paw.#I'm most pleased with the wings tho' -- I often really struggle with wing shapes and I'm So very proud of that partial fold there #also I have Plans for future further art for these fics but for Now they deserve a nice nap on the beach :)#caption lyrics are from 'theseus' by the oh hellos (which has probably been my primary norrington song for Years now...)

honestly, I feel like Dave McKean's work elevated Neil Gaiman way more than the other way around and we don't distribute credit for that properly. I truly don't think--and, critically, never have thought--the early Sandman writing was so good that it would have gotten far without the heavy hitting art lending it such an air of respectability. McKean's work is so visually distinct still, let alone 20 years ago, let alone 30. "This is serious art for serious stories for serious people," those mixed media paintings say when they're surrounded by pen and ink put out on a brutal schedule. "I am a serious person with sophisticated tastes," the buyer says, given permission to be pretentious and smug as hell, which is very alluring to many people.

#and given that perky goth girl Death was designed by Mike Dringenberg--like. c'mon now y'all. how much did Neil really innovate?#i mean i say this partially from a place of envy deep down i'm sure #i would love for a serious artist to come along and solve all my design and presentation problems #if you're out there: i will love you and cherish you bb and also pay you on time i promise #btw this is not “a person is knocked off their pedestal therefore we retcon their art as mediocre”#this is “i have been a hater since 2005 and only now feel I can open my big mouth about it”#what happened in 2005? Anansi Boys.#OooOoohh look at me i'm a British man who thinks I understand African and diaspora and Caribbean myth as well as I do Germanic and Norse #my partially Caribbean ass who grew up w Anansi stories for complicated diaspora reasons (via my nanny): what the fuck is this??? WHAT?

AU Concept: The Sword of Cortés is cursed and more creepy and violent and Cortés manipulated Jack to be his protégé and curses Jack, which makes him a very disturbing distorted shell of himself while his soul is trapped in the Stone Prison.
