(the prequel)

[evilstalks]

there is a massive level of dissociation that comes with being used on and off for years as a meat suit for a demon. ever since he was six, Michael has had this thing inside of him, making him do things. making him lose control of himself, memories of his life. it has no name-- it has not chosen to give itself a name, it just goes by boogeyman, or to be funny, it says its name is Michael too. michael, like the archangel, except it isn't any sort of angel because as far as Michael knows or thinks, an angel wouldn't do this sort of cruelty. it wouldn't come and go as it pleases from a human's body. because of it, Michael spent nearly a decade in smith's grove-- a mental institution, because it's easier to assume someone is mentally ill as opposed to being possessed by a demon. it makes more sense, and they're not entirely wrong-- sharing a headspace with an ancient being has deteriorated his mind, but not to the degree they assume.

years of nothing, of being alone without it lingering nearby, until it decides to come back. all too comfortably, it slots its way back into his body and breaks out of the facility all too easy. three are killed-- snapped necks like they're made of paper, and Michael leaves the institution he's been stuck in for the past decade. he walks & walks & walks, feet bleeding since he is stuck with nothing but the hospital gown he left with. he doesn't know how long it's been before the vessel, before he gets hungry and tired. so he chooses a house, easily jamming the door open and walking into the kitchen. he leaves bloody footprints as he opens the fridge. nearby, the owner of the house hides, praying this trespasser won't harm her or her sleeping children. @qapsiel

Oh, and a big one: I’m not on the internet to talk politics, be involved with social justice, or engage in cancel culture. I’m here to yap about fandoms, talk about bands, and have a good time; not to be pressured into spreading the messages society deems acceptable. So I’m not going to rb political or social justice related posts. It’s not that I don’t care if people are being hurt, I simply prefer to have a safe place where I can have a good time and avoid irl problems for a while. Hate me for it if you must, but you can just block me if it bugs ya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shoutout to my people! you're all amazing, don't ever let anyone else tell you otherwise, k? @encre-sanguine is the bestie :3 @shreysheep luv ya girly, even if you are British @maddytheweird my Aussie sister from another mister @moonstone-corvus the birb -nod- @miranalvjy my babygirl, the loml <3 we're friends but this is a running joke shush

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.

Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?

No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.

Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!

These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:

'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'

— Vences et al. 2024

There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.

On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.

You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.
