Fantasizing about going to Monterey Bay Aquarium with the online besties

[hkpika07]

Fav sea creature from the midnight zone?

NOOOOOO THERES SO MANY COOL ONES YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSEEE

Some of my faves are the gulper eel, vampire squid, barreleye, blood comb jellies, the ghost shark aka the chimera shark, dumbo octopus, I think the glass octopus lives in the midnight zone. uhhhhhh theres more but i cant think rn.

Anyways the deep ocean is my favorite part of the ocean I love it its so cool and has so many cool guys. Like tripod fish those fuckers. I love them.

Go visit Monterey Bay Aquarium they have an exhibit on the deep ocean!!!

What's your least favourite aquatic animal?

What was an important, defining moment you’ve had with fish/aquatic animals?

If you could keep any aquatic animal as a pet, with all the space they need and perfect care, what would it be?

Any aquariums on your bucket list you’d like to visit?

least favourite: :((( cmon man. :((((((( looks at you sadly

important and defining moment: went whale watching once. theyre EVERYTHING to me man. those guys are massive do you understand the SCALE of them. whales are like if religious experiences came in the form of a humongous grey-blue mammal

7, 18, 26 for the ask game :)

thanks for the ask val <3

7. what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

the last aquarium i went to was in 2019 i think? and it was the monterey bay one (insert their tumblr here) i have never been to an aquarium like that before, it was amazingggg! i think one of my favorite animals to see was the jellyfish bc i had never seen one before and they had sooo many different kinds! i didn't even take any pictures of them as i was just sitting there like this 😧🤩 the whole time. (also the giant pacific octopus? terrifying. i don't think i've felt the way around an animal like i did seeing that) penguins and otters are always a favorite to see too!

18. your boba/tea order?

i really need to start getting boba more bc i don't have a go to order yet; i always get something new! really like just black milk tea with brown sugar boba, matcha, and most fruit green teas! i've been meaning to try cheese tea too. (plus i would die for chai and mint tea. my absolute beloveds)

26. how's your spice tolerance?

it's actually relatively good! especially since i am a white woman from the midwest haha my mom has a veryyyyyy high tolerance and when i got to a certain age it was eat what was made for dinner or make my own food, so it definitely got built up in the last 15ish years

weirdly specific asks

The monterey bay aquarium kelp forest is SO pretty i am Emotional looking at all these pictures. This is where the dopamine is at

It's even prettier in person! :3 I visited for the first time last November and it was amazing. My phone camera isn't the best but this was my fave photo I took of it

[Image Description: A photo of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Kelp Forest exhibit. The camera is angled upward, with the light shining down from the top of the tank. Various fish can be spotted swimming around. A shadowed crowd of people are near the bottom of the photo, facing the tank. /end ID]

Bonus jellies!

I finally got to go to @montereybayaquarium after obsessing over it for about two years, and it 100% lived up to my dreams. I got to watch the sea otter and penguin feedings, pet a giant isopod (my favorite animal), and even go on a behind the scenes tour where I got to pet a Moon Jelly!

Thank you to the aquarium staff and volunteers for helping to build such an amazing place. I loved it more than anything, and it made this entire stressful vacation worth it :)

This is my new friend btw! His name is Monty, and I love him with all my heart <3
