me after learning it's now canon that the tweels have violent sibling fights and therefore the headcanon is finally proven true:

[dovedrangeas]

the mariana snailfish is. an alternate form of the axolotl

[rxttenfish]

also yeah if anyone's curious miranda has mottling around where the color shifts and gets darker/lighter on the top/bottom

i liked it and felt it looked more natural and evocative of her color getting more red as a sign of aging

The sharks scatter, turning in a flurry and darting away, water surging in their wake, and Shang Qinghua barely has a moment to widen his eyes, relief hitting him like a battering ram, pressing himself quickly to the entrance of the crevice so that he can cautiously peek out-

(If the sharks are gone, if he can just get away, if he just has a single chance, a split second opportunity to make a break for it and run back for the reef, maybe something has driven them off but if Shang Qinghua can just slip away, if he can just, if, if, if-)

- and Shang Qinghua knows looking is a mistake the second he does it, but by then it's too late. He can't help the startled noise he makes, a tiny flinching inhale, as he catches sight of the shadow moving in the water. He can't even make out that much of it, just a long tail, coiling through the water, a shadowed matte black even in the dark. The tip of its tail is the only clear thing he can see, the long slender top of it extending far into the water, predatory and all too shark-like. Big, his brain says. Dangerous, it says next, as the alarm bells ring, recognise something that looks distinctly predatory. And then- Oh, fuck, that's not a shark.

        She’s horny, so that means she wants to pick up and use someone like they’re a ragdoll compared to her. Just little dom apex predator things.

It warms my heart to know that deep in the ocean, where all is darkness and pressure and hunger and cold, one little cephalopod found it within herself to frolic

Tomorrow I'll also work on Mermaid Ray sketch after I get the timelapse of my Mermaid Alec art. Ray's mermaid version is gonna look different in a lot of ways, yall won't believe the restraint I had to use to keep myself from altering Alec's human half too much. Cuz like, for Mermaid Alec, he hunts both on water and land, he can conceal his snake tail via a water source nearby or grass and stuff and conceal his non human ears via his hair.

It's one of the ways he tricks people, so I needed his human half to look as human as possible. Mermaid Ray is gonna be limited to water only so I can put scales and stuff on his body! Yippee! I wanted to add scales on Alec's too but alas! To Ray that'd go instead.

Hi, there's a really good chance I'm imagining things, but isn't there a name/term for when we latch onto "cute"/marketable endangered species and that gives incentive to protect their habitat as well? Like when keeping one animal alive allows for the argument to be made to keep a different "uglier" animal alive, or put resources into protecting a plant species? I could swear there's a name for this but I can't find anything so I could also just be mixing it up with something

The term you're looking for is "Charismatic Megafauna" or and it works in two directions:

People are more likely to identify with a large mammal than say, an ecologically vital insect or slime mold, especially if it's something regarded as "cute" like Pandas or Orcas or Elephants. People give more of a shit about the enviornment and do what you ask if they give a shit about the animal in question.

Picking a Keystone Species at the Very Tippy Top of the food chain (Apex predators like Tigers and Orca), or that needs VAST amounts of space kept pristine (Pandas, Elephants) means that you also have to preserve THE ENTIRE FUCKING FOOD CHAIN UNDERNEATH IT, and by extension, the habitat all them critters live in. So signing a law to protect Penguins protects not just their land nesting sites but the ocean they hunt in and the fish they eat and this protects vastly more species than protecting The-Actually-Load-Bearing-Deep-Sea-Sponges would.

So if you were ever wondering "How come there's all these fundraisers for cute things like giraffes and gorillas? Where's the love for the ugly little guys like freshwater clams and earthworms?" the answer is "RIGHT BEHIND the big sexy poster animal. We sneak them in like hiding your dog's pills in cheese."
