fun thing about dredge is like. the familiarity of the unknown. like sure the various Horrors are scary when you first encounter them, but soon enough you learn where they are and how to avoid them and like, sure they’re dangerous and sure you don’t fully comprehend them but like. give them a wide berth you’ll probably be fine. which is exactly the mindset that any person who was hired to go fishing for a living in the eldritch nightmare town would end up in. yeah the anglerfish have come up to the surface and their lures are clearly designed for me but like. i’ve got bills.

Filming DongJi Island lasted nearly seven months and wrapped up in the evening. That night, Zhu Yilong completed the last scene underwater. The emotions of the character had already immersed him, and the fatigue was constantly surging in his body like waves. He heard the director shout "Cut!", but Zhu YiLong didn't come back to his senses for a long while. It wasn’t until he saw the director jump into the water to celebrate the end of filming did he realise it was really time to say goodbye to the role. Zhu Yilong's lead role in the film "Dongji Island" had many scenes that needed to be completed underwater, accompanied by the high impact of the water flow. He had to complete the scenes underwater for long periods and be careful not to exert himself without oxygen underwater. For him, this was the most difficult role to perform so far.

What do you think of siren!tzu with sailor!momo?

Idk motzu kinda filled my mind lately

omg i love motzu!! sailor!momo has formed images in my mind that i can never forget (imagine momo in a prince eric type outfit...)

i think siren!tzu and sailor!mo would have fun dynamics! they've both got an air of indifference around them which is exactly the charm of their pairing imo!

i kinda love the idea of momo not knowing about sirens (yes shes a sailor but shes just there for the vibes), and tzu being the type who isnt interested in killing anyone but likes the thrill of scaring ppl 💀 like one day momo comes out to find her entire crew in a panic, trying to muffle their ears bc they've spotted tzu, but momo's just genuinely confused 😭 maybe she catches a glimpse of tzu and asks her whats happening, and tzu's just surprised that momo isn't scared!

i think tzu will be the one who becomes infatuated with momo first, so there'll be a lot "how-do-i-see-her-again-without-other-sirens-killing-her" :(( she'll sort of quietly protect momo, so momo will be the only sailor who dares going into tzu's siren territory bc tzu scares everyone away + momo genuinely thinks everyone else is making things up bc tzu has never scared her before!

sooner or later, momo starts going there not just to fish,, but simply because she wants to see tzu,... (which makes for a lot of quality bonding time 🫶)

lots of capacity for angst, as with siren aus... but i'll keep it fluffy for now! my mind is definitely filled with motzu thoughts too 😄

Holy absolute fuck for some reason this random ass post with pretty much zero relevant tags struck complete discourse shitfest rabbit hole GOLD so I'm taking you all on the wild journey I just experienced.

So this person who I've never seen in my life but seems to run a surface-level innocuous watercolor art blog commented this under this post:

I thought whatever, it is extremely contentious ongoing science that's still awaiting new developments and research results to this day. The papers do indeed address the fact that no solid research on the topic of whether or not it's antibiotics or birth conditions (or, likely, a mixture of both and many other factors as we know how life is) and even cite a variety of contradicting experiments to add depth to the research, but it's true that there is no One Truth in emerging science. I replied this:

rocksmorelikefood also replied to them with an extremely neutral and polite response informing them that the linked papers were not experimental, but reviews of other experimental data, meaning the authors themselves would not be in charge of the experiment design or control. They also reasserted that (hopefully) no one's having intestinal gestation babies there's wombs involved even if they connect to the ass

They replied with this extremely normal (/s to the maximum) response:

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at first but these replies definitely made me like. Huh. extremely weird hill to die on to claim these peer-reviewed scientific papers actually published in proven scientific journals are "publishing for the purpose of publishing".

I've known a lot of STEM people in my life and I have to say I don't think any of them have ever said "Fuck yes!! My favorite part of science, writing a 20 page long report to be submitted to a board of reviewers who will rigorously henpeck the work I've put blood, sweat, and tears into!" or such. Extremely suspicious anti-science stance for perhaps one of the most niche subjects in the world.

The further assertion that a fantasy mpreg uterus MUST share tissues with the intestine but they CAN'T because PEOPLE WOULD DIE was also so ??? You are the only person saying intestinal gestation I promise you no one else was thinking about that at all. Nobody, especially not the literal scientific papers here, brought that up except for you.

And then I realized. Are they making some sort of insane extrapolation that mpreg is a gateway to like. intestinal gestation surgery??? Do they seriously think scientific research into CIS WOMEN'S birthing methods will somehow lead to ?? A uterus made out of intestines??? What kind of American Mary shit is going on here

So then I did a one second tumblr search and, ladies and gentlethems, enjoy the insane rabbithole that is the controversial legacy of havekat / rad-bad-and-dangerous-to-know / have-a-hygge, a terfy artist with accusations of everything under the sun from being a radfem to scamming (it seems this also led to an event of terf infighting in which radfems began trying to get her kicked out of communities for scamming people? idk terfs hate her, normal people hate her, the world's against her basically and she's clearly learned nothing) to RACE-FAKING. Truly an insane tag to scroll through

Anyway, in summary, no matter how bad you feel about yourself sometimes always remember that you're a billion more times more dignified than this random ass pathetic terf with every controversy under the sun feeling so threatened by the mere notion of a fantasy man getting pregnant and giving birth out of his rectum for presumable kink reasons that you inadvertently make a whole new omegaverse biology concept while trying to reject genuine scientific research into, and I cannot stress this enough, CIS WOMEN and their circumstances around giving birth (you know, the thing that terfs love) on some low virality Tumblr post made by a niche fandom blog. Truly admirable.

when the biology assumes that the person would give birth via the asshole it breaks immersion for me and i stop reading simply because it makes NO sense for a species to give birth via a method that would expose their newborns to the germs in the asshole? (via the mpreg poll)

Um. I'm really really sorry to have to break this to you but there's actually a very heated and still ongoing scientific debate over whether or not children born via c-section have a higher risk of childhood immune-related disease due to lack of exposure to birth canal/adjacent fecal matter germ not populating their gut microflora

played dredge and ohhhhhhh it’s time to pull the sailor character bunch i wanted to make out of the back burner. i got really inspired by that game’s art direction, it is absolutely gorgeous

[strictlyfavorites]

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you be so fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude
