Today's crab is: patiently waiting and polite

It’s SPOOKY SEASON! Which is the best season ever for a goblin like me!

Here’s my first (of 4) HallowOmens comic for October:

Shellback Crabs: these crabs create their own shields out of clamshells; they have semi-membranous bodies that can be pressed into the contours of a shell, producing a suction mechanism that holds the shell in place

The members of this genus (Hypoconcha) have a series of unique adaptations that facilitate this kind of camouflage behavior. Many of the Dromiidae crabs (e.g. hermit crabs, sponge crabs, shellback crabs, etc.) are equipped with a specialized pair of legs that enables the crab to hold a shell, sea sponge, and/or ascidian against their body, but shellback crabs also have a flexible, semi-membranous body that can be tucked more firmly into the contours of a bivalve shell, producing a suction mechanism that keeps the shell firmly locked in place.

The body of the shellback crab is also covered in a very fine layer of hair-like structures called setae, and when the crab presses itself against the shell, these membranous "hairs" can take on an almost translucent appearance, particularly around the margins of the crab's body.

I recently posted some photos/info about some of the crabs in the genus Lamarckdromia (which belongs to the same family) and as I was doing the background research for that post, I was just kind of mesmerized by all of these weirdly adorable crabs that seem to exist within the Dromiidae family tree. Each genus has its own unique adaptations that allow the crabs to use specific materials for camouflage -- some of them use living sponges, clamshells, ascidians, etc.

And I could not stop laughing at the little faces on these crabs. They've all got the same bemused/indignant expression...as if some random asshole has just walked up to them, shoved them over, and announced to the entire ocean that there's a crab hiding beneath that disguise; as if that actually happens to them quite a lot, and they're getting really sick of it.

Again, I don't normally feature crustaceans on my blog...but I really couldn't resist this one.

Oop, forgot to post him hereeeee

just imagining the knights who have grown used to treating merlin like arthur’s consort, letting him get away with all these things, and introducing new knights to the unspoken rules - merlin may not be the consort in title but you better treat him like he is - and carrying that into arthur’s reign as king only for one (1) feast to go horribly, horribly wrong and the knights of the round table are trying to put out these all these fires and calm all these lords and ladies feelings and trying to talk arthur down from waging war and trying to get merlin to talk to the king dammit i don’t care that you’re upset, arthur is drafting up a literal declaration of war please slap talk some sense into him all the while drafting up new rules that HEY actually let’s treat merlin like the queen instead

the quiet show of support from kim despite his own nerves... the playful ribbing between the two of them... the image of kim lending a crying harry his handkerchief, doing what he can to dry this broken man's tears....... these moments are really making me feel some type of way alright

“Back off or I’ll bite.”

To be fair he had just gotten off of a shift and was ready to become one with his shitty mattress.

Danny thought he made himself pretty clear.

So you can’t blame him when some bobo the clown knock-off tried to start some shit while he was walking home and did not heed his advice.

A fun fact he learned a couple days later is that in an average human’s mouth there’s about 6 billion types of bacteria and several of those types are deadly if not treated properly at a hospital.

And Danny was very much not an average human.

Let’s just say he started to sweat bullets when he found a frontline article about the death of the clown prince.

Suddenly that feeling of someone watching him wasn’t being written off as paranoia.

[thwipped]

well yeah.

Today's crab is: crab-destrian crossing

Just a small rant...about Yu-Gi-Oh

I REALLY like card games, I've played Pokemon, Hearthstone, MAGIC, Marvel Snap, Old ass Yu-Gi-Oh (when there were only fusion summons), Digimon, Lost kingdoms, etc!

I know how crazy Meta decks can get, (ZooLock in Hearthstone/Destroy cards in Marvel SNAP) But never have I played a card game where I can lose 5 times in a row without even getting to my turn.

I shit you not, 5 TIMES IN A ROW AND I NEVER GOT TO DO ANYTHING. I JUST HAD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH THEM DRAW CARDS, ACTIVATING SPELL EFFECTS AND MONSTER EFFECTS FOR TEN MINUTES UNTIL THEY HAVE 5 MONSTER ON THE FIELD AND 4 TRAP CARDS.

ITS LIKE IF YOU WENT TO A JOUSTING TOURNAMENT AND THE GUY YOU'RE UP AGAINST GETS TO CHANGE HIS HORSE TO A SEMI TRUCK, WITH 80 FLAMETHROWERS PLASTERED ALL OVER IT. AND WHEN YOU TRY AND CHANGE YOUR HORSE HE'S LIKE F*CK YOU, KILLS YOUR HORSE, TAKES YOUR LANCE, GIVES YOU A STICK, AND THEN SAYS, MKAY...READY FOR THE FIRST ROUND???!!!

Am I being a salty bitch over a children card game? Yeah. BUT BOY AM I A SALTY BITCH OVER A CHILDREN'S CARD GAME.

Don't take this too seriously btw, lol I'm Chill ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ". Just thought this was amusing and wanted to share.
