Hey Phans,

I have some big news to announce...

My new show "Keeping Up with the Cnidarians" will be swimming over to a screen near you very soon!

The show will follow me and the rest of my Cnidaria Phamily of hydrozoans, scyphozoans, anthozoans, and cubozoans. Join us to see all the exciting things we get up to. I'd like to introduce you to some of them right now!

From Class Hydrozoa, my cousin, Patty (Portuguese Man o' War)(Physalia physalis):

From Class Scyphozoa, my aunt, Molly (Moon Jelly) (Aurelia aurita):

From Class Anthozoa, my uncle, Otto (Orange Sea Pen) (Ptilosarcus gurneyi)

and finally, from Class Cubozoa, my favourite cousin, Chelsea, (Australian Box Jelly) (Chironex fleckeri)

I hope you guys are excited about the show and don't hesitate to comment below who you're most excited to see undulating on your screens!

Every time I see art of ur ocs(especially the new boys) I just stare at them like "Yeah... I need to break his bones, just has to happen"

-🪼(make them boneless like me)

ps the neurodivergence demands I tell you that I am a pacific moonjellyfish. though the emoji sometimes looks more similar to certain pictures of atlantic moonjellys, all jellyfish in the Aurelia genus look extremely similar. I love jellyfish.

are u gonna hunt mr barracuda for sport mr jellyfish? are u gonna sting him? paralyze him so he can't move?

im sorry i didn't get the autism that makes me know all about ocean fish. i got the autism that makes me know all about torture devices and fnaf... but i like sea bunnies

Creation of the Bioluminescent Jellyfish (Aryan Raj Adhikari)

As the main focal asset of our underwater narrative, I set out to create our little friend. Since jellyfish come in all shapes and size, it was time to go into the rabbit hole of jellyfishes. I particularly liked the design of the moon jellyfish, especially its spherical rotational arrangement of smooth diamond shaped gastric pouches. This particular detail drew me in and I set out to create it in Blender.

Figure 1 (Moon Jellyfish, (CRITTERFACTS, n.d.))

The shape of the jellyfish can be easily created using a UV sphere inside the Blender where you can then manipulate the rotation to introduce a caved in vaccum inside its body. The body of the jellyfish can easily be created by employing different techniques but I ran into a big obstacle of having to create its tentacles which could also be animated for the immersive narrative.

The bobbing animation of the head of the jellyfish was easily created using the innovative shape keys inside Blender. This was a really fun phase of animating the head as I explored my initial roots as a 3D animation student. The shape keys allow for animation of different expressions of meshes that can be edited to a certain proportion as the user wants. This can then be keyframed and looped to produce the bobbing effect of the jellyfish.

Figure 2 (Animating using Shape Keys)

This tied my work to the initial days of me as a Bachelors student creating characters and rigging them in Maya. I figured that since I already had the initial knowledge of creating tentacles that could move, I could easily translate it into Blender using its native tools.

After a lot of researching and iterative experimentation, I did two definitive tests that could be used for our immersive animation. The first method involved creating the tentacles and assigning a cloth modifier to it. This would allow me to use real life physics simulation to simulate a tentacle moving up and down with the help of a wind or a vortex emitter.

The tentacles were extruded at set intervals from the bottom of the faces of the jellyfish and were assigned the cloth modifier. I then proceeded to link a wind emitter to the jellyfish and animated the wind in opposite directions as a loop so that the tentacles would move up and down as if the jellyfish was swimming through the water.

Figure 3 (Jellyfish with a Cloth modifier)

This posed a very significant problem. It would be very difficult to sync the movement of the head and the tentacles of the jellyfish together. I could have potentially improved upon the syncing of the movements of the jellyfish to make it appear more natural, however the time constraint was our biggest limitation. Thus, I adopted for the second approach.

The second approach included creating an IK rig system that would be linked from the head of the jellyfish to its tentacles. An IK (Inverse Kinematics) rig system as opposed to a FK (Forward Kinematics) allows us to place the main bone on the head so that any other bones parented to the main bones moves as influenced by the main head bone. This would allow us to simply move the parent bone which would influence the child bones, i.e. tentacles in this context, that would simply move naturally under the head's movement.

After I created the entire rig system for the jellyfish, I linked the armature to the jelly mesh and create a hair particle system on each of the tentacle rig joints. This allowed for the hair particles to follow the movements of the jellyfish swimming in the water while syncing both the movements of the head and the hair tentacles perfectly.

Figure 4 (Jelly rig test)

For the animation movement, I simply added an additive modifier with a keyframe set in the Y-axis and offset amplitude values so that when the jellyfish moves vertically, the hair particles naturally follow the amplitude movements.

Hello 👋

I'm still stuck in a binge-restrict cycle. I try to restrict as long as I can and try to do damage control when the urge to binge takes over.

I've tracked my calorie intake for 2 months and I average around 1475 kcal/day. My goal is to continue heavy restriction until I get to an average of 1000 kcal/day.

Currently I feel like the pendulum is swinging back to binge mode. Mainly due to me feeling like I have no value as a daughter, a student, a friend, a person. I reached a new low, but I know it's temporary. Things will get more stable and I'll be back to my restriction. In the meantime I'm trying to cope by learning how to purge, I'm still failing to make anything substantial come up though.

[Moonjellyfish (Aurelia aurita)

Moonjellyfish can be an ecological indicator. They highlight changes in marine ecology. When the ocean's health declines due to less biodiversity, overfishing, or pollution, their population can increase.

Thriving when others suffer, when can I be the one experiencing that ? ☺️]

The need to lose weight becomes all the more vital to me. I'm depressed and I have low self-esteem, so even if I wanted to, I am unable to make any friends. I'm like a natural repellent. Other girls legit run away from me because I'm dealing with too much.

This is just a reminder as to why I'm doing this.

- have friends care about me

- teachers being more patient with me

- being perceived as quirky rather than creepy

- feeling like I deserve to study and work on my future

- becoming confident

- be happy

[Spotted jellyfish (Mastigias papua)

The white spotted jellyfish is so greedy that it eats larvea and eggs from other fish and crustaceans. Negatively impacting the ecosystem.

I relate to them.. Respect the balance, pesky creatures !]

hii, because i've seen you interact with this person, i just wanted to let you know in case you care/are unaware. but @/aquahadas @/435406 was called out last year for fetishizing asians, being micro aggressive towards black bloggers, as well as few other concerning things - specified in these posts: https(:)//www(.)tumblr(.)com/miwauko/697773902160707584?source=share & https(:)//www(.)tumblr(.)com/miwauko/698295810985771008/moonjellifish-i-think-youre-forgetting-to-add?source=share

damn so my suspicions were right (ಠ⌣ಠ)...i was actually aware of this situation that took place in 2022 since i do follow miwauko and did follow 'peach partime'...

but i was actually completely unaware and fully suspected this rumor until yesterday that she was indeed 'peach partime'/'haedbands'/ 'moonjellyfish' all along because she changed urls several times and i started following that actual new account of hers and became moots with her last year (っ◞‸◟c) but i deadass had no clue it was her til recently and i did receive an ask about this literally yesterday that she was an r word ε(´･●_･｀)з

but also i did see a post about a month go on an anonymous account that was claiming that 'aquahadas/twomusas' was 'haedbands' but i did not pay much attention and was unsure about it since i had no concrete proof ╥﹏╥...

...but this is also the second ask im getting about this and damn girlypop is in trouble and is fucked up ... well thank you so much for telling me and for clearing my suspicions. i am extremely grateful lovely anonnie♡ *cutely unfollows and blocks *
