After a longer silence, the girl asked: 'Would you go back? If you could?' 'You mean, without the wave?' 'Yes. Without the wave.' 'Then I'd have gone home, and everyone would have been alive, and I would be a man.' 'Would you rather be that man? Would you change places with him?' asked the ghost girl. 'And not be me? Not know about the globe? Not have met you?' 'Yes!' Mau opened his mouth to reply and found it choked with words. He had to wait until he could see a path through them. 'How can I answer you? There is no language. There was a boy called Mau. i see him in my memory, so proud of himself because he was going to be a man. He cried for his family and turned the tears into rage. And if he could, he would say "Did not happen!" and the wave would roll backward and never have been. But there is another boy, and he is called Mau, too, and his head is on fire with new things. What does he say? He was born in the wave, and he knows that the world is round, and he met a ghost girl who is sorry she shot at him. He called himself the little blue hermit crab, scuttling across the sand in search of a new shell, but now he looks at the sky and knows that no shell will ever be big enough, ever. Will you ask him not to be? Any answer will be the wrong one. All I can be is who I am. But sometimes I hear the boy inside crying for his family.' 'Does he cry now?' asked Daphne, looking down at the ground. 'Every day. But very softly. You won't hear him.'

--Terry Pratchett, "Nation"

(Hey, if you're a Discworld fan and haven't read this book may I recommend it? Also: hey, if you've heard of this Terry Pratchett guy and how great he is, but think Discworld wouldn't be your thing for one reason or another? May I recommend this excellent book as a gateway to Pratchett's writing? It's about upheaval, and grief, and healing. It is beautifully written, and I swear it'll rip out your heart and then put it back in but different. Or, if your heart has already been stricken, it might offer some solace or hope.)

what kind of cratures do you think the trigun gang would be?

CREATURES IN GENERAL OR SEA CREATURES. BECAUSE MY FRIEND MONTY N I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRIGUN FURSONAS THE OTHER DAY. but i am the sea creature guy at heart so im gonns give u those i hope that is ok 😌 there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.

Vash: he is... so very shark coded to me. everyone looks at him and sees a dangerous killing machine. frequently covered in scars. do u see the connection here. he is specifically a thresher shark to me because of the whole sharpshooter thing and also the sad sad puppydog eyes 💙

Wolfwood: i am torn between two different types of eels for him. giant morays are more aesthetically pleasing but personally i have to go with a wolf eel both for the name and because ive worked with these guys before and theyre sooooo cool so im biased

Meryl: not technically a sea creature because she is just so bird coded to me. White-Tailed Tropicbird

Milly: is it cheating to have two cephalopods on this list. because i think i really want to say giant pacific octopus for milly. either that or a whale shark 💙 yes those are two completely different animals no i will not be taking criticism at this time

bonus Knives because i love him and i feel the most strongly about this one:

BOBTAIL SQUID.

... and also a bristle worm . for what i hope are obvious reasons

Purrling is Almost Fully Stocked!

It's now been a week since I added Moby's mate, Cousteau! Both Moby and Cousteau are clownfish of the species Amphriprion ocellaris, so in the reefing hobby we tend to just call them ocellaris clownfish. (Their other common name, false percula clownfish, is kinda dumb in my opinion given that ocellaris are prettier than percula clowns.) Ocellaris clownfish come in a huuuge range of morphs, all of which were originally found in the wild.

Because they prefer to live in mated pairs and because they don't have any trouble recognizing other ocellaris regardless of their morph, I decided to have a mismatched pair. Moby is a mocha ocellaris; his morph is a slightly darker version of the usual wild type of the species of Finding Nemo fame.

Yes, he was named for the titular character of Moby Dick by my dad.

Cousteau, meanwhile, is a fancier black snowflake. Since he is the smaller of the two he will stay a male (all clownfish are born male,) while Moby will develop into a female. (That's right, folks: clownfish are trans!🏳️‍⚧️)

Cousteau is named for the father of marine biology and scuba diving, Jacques Cousteau.

Because my fish dealer didn't have any Euphillia hammer coral in stock that were of a morph I want, I also introduced Nickel the neon blue goby (yep, she is named after the IDW II Transformer's DJD's diminutive little medic, Nickel!) Nickel the fish has been shy but thankfully not as much as my yellow watchman goby Clyde who seems determined to spend her entire existence hiding in her den. Maybe she'll come out more once I give her a pistol shrimp.

The beautiful little Nickel, whose function, just like the more famous and larger bluestreak cleaner wrasse, is parasite removal from larger fish. (This kinda makes her a medic just like her namesake!)

The singular good photo that I possess of Clyde, back before my cat Keplar scared the crap out of her somehow and she decided to constantly live in her burrow.

With the addition of Cousteau Purrling Reef's population list of fish is almost complete; the final fish to acquire will be a royal gramma basslet, to be named Amphritite. I also need to get Clyde that pistol shrimp and get a purple pincushion urchin. Then, maybe, (unless I acquire a new cleaner shrimp,) I'll be done adopting ambulatory livestock. I haven't even begun adopting corals however! Here're some of the species I'm hoping to acquire:

- Genus Euphillia: Frogspawn (Yoshi's morph which is green with indigo tentacle tips)

- Genus Euphillia: Hammer (purple with turquoise tentacle tips)

- Favia (arguably not actually Favia as many favia has been reclassified): 'green' (turquoise) and purple morph

- Blastomussa merletti: purple wine morph (it's also purple and turquoise)

- Lepastrea: I'm partial to the blueberry fields morph. I also like the one called polkaroo.

- Possibly some Acans

- Maybe some Cyphastrea. I like the morphs meteor shower, bling bling, seafoam and peppermint.

- Maybe some Duncans; I don't really like duncans though.

- Hard maybe some zoanthids (I'm worried about palytoxin and mine and Keplar's stupidity in regards to sticking parts of our bodies in the water with little thought.)

Behold, my dream hammer coral (picture by Fragbox Coral.)

In any case, things are progressing slowly but surely with Purrling Reef. I will hopefully be adding some corals next month; there's a local guy with exactly the frogspawn that I want so I might try to get a frag from him.

Skitter, my intrepid blue-eyed hermit crab bids ye adieu. (He would like you to recognize that crabs are in fact far superior to snails.)

Riddle: Floyd, you said that all colors under the water are muted. Is that why you and Jade are muted in your true forms?

Floyd: Is Goldfishie curious about me~? Ahha~ Well-

Yuu, messing with the hermit crabs and puts one in Riddle's hand as she hold another one: Jade and Floyd are a shade of a muted teal to blend in with the ocean better so you don't see them coming in either direction. The ocean can be as stark blue as it wants to be on the surface, but if you look far out into it while underwater, you'll notice it's a sort of teal color. Hench Jade and Floyd's coloring given that they're eels and eels are ambush predators. If they were any other color but teal, they would stand out more, thus making it hard to hunt and sneak up on unsuspecting prey and people. *Leaves to give Ace a hermit crab*

Riddle: ... Interesting. Is she- *Looks at Floyd* Floyd?

Floyd, pulled his hat down to cover his very red face at the amount of infodumping Yuu just did about him and his species.
