2,000 year old Protean vessel lid, depicting three Proteans from different stratums of Selhadro. Considering the open mouths pointing towards the lid's handle, it was most likely used to store food. This artifact was dug up, alongside many others, during a mining operation on Lagopus that broke into the remains of a museum.

My opinion is also that was better for Aaravos to stay imprisionent, albeit in a for him less painful place, not on the oceanfloor of the Outcast, but in a dragon hort for example.

On the other hand, he would going on the chosen dragons nerves...

Heir To The Lands Chapter 1

The Arrival of Something Wicked masterpost

Kit sighed as he left the lake at Dimmet Tarn. It was his usual thinking spot, the lake having a really calming effect on Kit, especially when the moonlight shone on its pretty waters. But if either Jem or Tessa knew he was outside at night, they would get worried so he knew he couldn't stay there for long. Yet thoughts kept straying, and it had kept him awake. For one, there was his ex-girlfriend Debbie, who wanted to get back together. Something he was unsure about, he didn't really seem good with relationships, plus being near to him caused people to be in danger. He was still having nightmares about Mina being kidnapped. And then there was the upcoming visit to Blackthorn Hall. Dru had invited him, Mina, Jem and Tessa over to celebrate that Blackthorn hall was finally, fully finished with everyone's rooms being decorated and all. She sounded so extremely excited, and whilst Kit was happy that she was thrilled with her new room of glooming doom, he was still not ready to face Ty. He remembered how crushed Ty looked the last time he saw him at his last visit. It was something he did not like to remember. He could not think about it, yet the thoughts invaded his head anyways, like a flood you wished would not come but did all the same. And Kit was drowning. The humiliation of the night they raised Livvy, the accusations and hurt comments they hurled at one another afterwards, were still echoing in his head. Grief could cause people to do crazy things and lash out, that was a pretty normal reaction, but the whole Livvy-thing felt so abnormal, it wasn't like any regular therapist or self-help book could teach him how to navigate the situation, and he certainly didn't wanted to bring it up to Jem and Tessa. They already worried about him so much, and they were still rather sensitive about Mina's kidnapping. He didn't wanted them to be stressed and worried even more, not when they had been so good to him. He wanted to be a son they could be proud of. It was for that reason, that he kept hold onto the weird, magical gun that Tessa's first son used. He'd often stare at it and wonder what James Herondale was like, wether he was like him in some sort of way and wether Tessa saw things in Kit that she had seen in her first two children. Kit didn't like feeling so insecure, but the voices in his head kept doubting and stressing over every little thing. He entered their home quietly, and quickly rushed to the kitchen to fetch himself a glass of water and two paracetemols; he had noticed taking two before going to sleep often would help him sleep easier. He really needed to relax, and it would be useless if he were to show up at Blackthorn Hall as a sleep-deprived zombie. As he popped the paracetemols into his mouth, Kit thought he could see that strange glimmer once more. On the occasion, the lake would have an almost magical, intense glimmer when midnight struck, and Jem had told them there were various rumors about the lake because of it. He shrugged his shoulders, and went up the stairs to his bedroom. No one truly knew what the cause was, and Kit was too desperate to sleep to investigate it for fun like he would have done on another occasion. His previous attempts had resulted into nothing anyways. No one ever managed to swim to the bottom of the lake, it seemed part of its magic. It might as well have been investigating the middle of the ocean, where the oceanfloor would be impossible to reach for the human body. Beneath the glimmering, shimmering bubble of magic, one could find a relic lost since the 14 century. Slammed into a rock that got crystalized with magic and time, it started to ring like an alarm. For it was sensing something far deep in the lands of Faerie. By morning, people would find the lake to be glimmering at the strike of every hour, like a clock that started to chime.

Jem looked at Tessa, who was eyeing the lake with suspicion. "Do you think it has anything to do with Kit?" Jem asked, having feared the day the entire conflict of the First Heir would come often and Tessa knew magic better then he did but she shook her head. "I do not know. Catarina will be watching the house and Church whilst we're off to London. We should ask her to keep an eye on this." Tessa could not see the bubble of magic, but she could sense it all the same and she knew it had begun pulsating. Right now, the only thing she could do was start packing for their three day stay or else they'd be late but she had a dreadful feeling this didn't meant anything good.

Fishmongers across the country are finding a new form of entertainment and relaxation–furnace-watching. It might sound odd, but there’s something oddly satisfying about watching a furnace fuel life’s underwater creatures.

Furnace-watching is the perfect way for fishmongers to connect with nature, while also reaping the benefits of heat and light. For instance, observing a furnace’s warm glow can invigorate fishmongers’ nerves and provide a much-needed respite from the busy workdays. In doing so, fishmongers can identify the elusive fish species in their waters with greater efficiency.

Furnace-watching combines entertainment with serious fishmongering, allowing fishmongers to observe the effect of the furnace on their catches. By monitoring the sea life that swarms around the furnace-fed heating system, fishmongers can determine when to cast their lines and potentially increase their catch.

That’s not all. Watching the furnace also helps fishmongers understand the interdependent relationship between the abundance of life on the oceanfloor and the environment. The flame of a furnace reveals the impact of the environment on species and vice-versa. Fishmongers can witness the synergy between both species before bringing up their catch.

Ultimately, furnace-watching is a unique way to bring relaxation and entertainment into the industry. It poses a great opportunity to be more knowledgeable about the environment before heading out on the next voyage. Who knows? You may just come up with your own secret fishing spot!

Earlier this year, I went snorkeling on Fitzroy Island, off of Queensland, Australia and right by the Great Barrier Reef.

I saw so many cool marine species, and the highlight of that day was the bluespotted ribbontail ray chilling on the oceanfloor. I didn’t think they got this close to the beach!

I’m so annoyed that my iPhone camera quality is garbage, because this video nor the stills do the stingray any justice.

when i was living on my other planet i lived beneath the sea on the oceanfloor . i was huge, and different creatures would grow on me . every millenia or so id have to go above the surface, usually to speak with other gods , and it was always such an ordeal. wings straining under the weight of the current, sand shifting and swirling, centuries of vegetation being torn away. as i moved, the displacement of water would almost certainly cause tsunamis and riptides all throughout the world

Junko wouldn't really pry into those. Mondo wasn't close enough for him to divulge his deepest secrets. The fashionista dove deep and grabbed something off the oceanfloor before coming up with an object.

He went back to splashing around, he had to be alone with his thoughts to actually plan for something like that. It wasn't that he couldn't multitask it was better that his brainpower was used in one way.

Alright, considering the massive heat of the past weekend, I decided to wait and planned to go see it before my radiology appointment. I just did. I definitely enjoyed the movie! Enough that I'd actually want to go to the cinema again as my radiology appointment required a full bladder and not peeing for two hours. I was nearly crying from bladder pain when the end credits were rolling. But it was also just genuinely worth the re-watch. I do not get some of the criticism this movie has gotten. Did the movie suffer from a bad trailer and a lack of marketing? Absolutely, but it was still a pretty good kids movie that fully understood the assignment. Like, one of the criticism this movie has unfairly gotten was that outside the Kraken kingdom the ocean looked even more soulles then the Little Mermaid live action. Let me tell you why this is an completely unfair comparison: The underwater world also has plenty of 'landscapes' as you will, and both stories, take place in DIFFERENT 'landscapes'. A common re-occuring 'landscape' in the underwater world of Ruby Gillman, is a scene that takes place on the bottom of the sea, and presumably pretty far from shore. These places are SUPPOSED to be bleak, dark and soulless. Because it's so deep, sunlight won't reach the bottom at all. It's the coldest, darkest place of the sea/ocean and there aren't a lot of fish recorded living there. Only a handful of small life and scary fish species like the anglerfish, are reported to be found in places like that. If you've ever seen a couple of Spongebob episodes, remember that one where Spongebob and Patrick hop on a bus, and it takes them away from Bikini Bottom to this darker, almost scary part of the ocean? Yeah, that dark place is supposed to be where the most common underwater setting takes place. How on earth can you criticize the bottom of the ocean for looking like the bottom of the ocean?! The Little Mermaid on the other hand, is upposed to be taking place in the Bikini Bottom area. In the novel by Hans Christian Andersen, he literally describes their palace roof of having shells that open and close, and these shells are actually semi-above water! That is how close the Mermaid palace actually is to the surface. The Little Mermaid takes place, in the bright part of the sea/ocean which the animated movie reflected. The live-action on the other hand, literally needs a rivalling movie taking place at the oceanfloor to be considered 'bright'. Yikes. I'd almost suspect the critics to be paid by Disney at this point, for how much negative comparison this movie gets to the live-action whilst most of their criticism isn't well-thought out at all. I mean, I can debunk their criticism with a Spongebob analogy for crying out loud. That's how low their level of intelligence is. Anyways, Ruby understood the assignment. Whilst I watched the Dutch dubbed version, the dialogue definitely had some lines that I found iconic (Chelsea really is an icon, just as I hoped). I also enjoyed the music. I mean, a fight sequence with BLACKPINK as the soundtrack?! This movie knows how to slay.

I cannot wait to see Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken no matter the mixed reviews and numerous spoilers. I'm thinking of going this weekend to the cinema. This, is for a very important reason:

Chelsea Van Der Zee, is the reason. When I initially saw pictures of her, I was hyped to see how DreamWorks is going to poke fun at the live-action remakes. Because come on, production of this movie started 2 years after the announcement of the live-action Little Mermaid. BUT, there is another layer to the parody of her character that will fly over most people's heads: She's a Dutch mermaid. Her faux-Dutch last name is a proper sounding Dutch surname, it doesn't falls into the pitfalls of writing it as Vanderzee, and whilst on the nose it's a well-constructed surname. Like, the people who created her last name were aware of HOW our surnames were constructed and didn't end up creating a non-realistic surname that simply sounds Dutch like Gossip Girl did. I remember trying to playback a moment in the trailer several times, when Chelsea confronted Ruby about being a kraken in the trailer, she says a word at the end that I couldn't place and no matter how many times I rewinded it I didn't understood what she said. Until I came across the scripted version of the quote yesterday; “I know your secret. You're a kraken, hiding as a human. And soon, everyone will know the truth. Kusjes!” Kusjes is horribly butchered, but it's Dutch for 'kisses' and we actually do use that and XOXO, just like English speakers do so the usage of Dutch that I have seen so far is correct. Now, I have actually seen people speculate she's Dutch because of That's So Raven, but as a Dutch person myself I see it from a different angle: There's a phenomenon I like to call the 'Dutch Default'. Historically, the English had difficulties recognizing which Germanic speaking culture was which. You can even see this reflected in our English name, 'Dutch', when that's how the Germans refer to themselves, as the Deutsch. We calls ourselves Nederlanders in our tongue. Pennsylvanian Dutch? I was told the area was mostly Swedish. I can continue with examples. Whilst I noticed the UK has became a little better educated about the topic, this is still perpetuated by Americans to this day. When The Little Mermaid live action was announced, there were various people who actually confused us for the Danish. Some were harmless comments like calling the novel Dutch instead of a Danish novel. Others were not. When there were Danish people speaking on social media about how disappointed they were with how Disney treats one of their national symbols, there were hate comments from people defending The Little Mermaid, but various were directed at the Dutch because Americans were too lazy to even Google which culture they are hurling insults too. This, was all taking place during the production of Ruby Gillman. Now, how likely is it that Chelsea is a Dutch mermaid because of That's So Raven, and how likely do you think DreamWorks noticed Twitter and decided to use the Dutch Default as another layer to the parody of Chelsea's character? Because it's not like the entirety of Hollywood seems to be unaware of this phenomenon. The Umbrella Academy S2, actually has this scene with the Swedish brothers being called Dutch even though the characters were already told they were Swedish, and Five corrects them like, "No, they're Swedish." Paired with how Luther shouts at innocent Olga through the phone, it gives a perfect portrayal of how clueless Americans are about foreign cultures. There are people in Hollywood who do notice how little Americans know about other cultures and will harass innocent people on false misconceptions. For DreamWorks to poke fun at Twitter wars for doing so, makes me love Chelsea Van Der Zee.

If I ever see one of those stupid Americans again because this whole drama isn't completely over yet, I will summon Chelsea to drown them to the bottom of the Ocean.
