Fish fact #723

Rainbow sardine!

Though it is most common in coastal surface waters, it has been reportedly seen inland in freshwater too! They're named and most recognisable for their iridescent colouration.

[patheticallyinfatuatedwithu]

— satan's spawn ; chapter nineteen!

yu jimin had everything in the palm of her hands. highest grades in the year, promoted as the captain of the dance team, top of the social hierarchy, and close to having the school's hearrthrob— song kang as her boyfriend. everything was sunshine and rainbows, until song kang's supposed sister, kim y/n turned song y/n— a certified hottie pain in the ass steps into frame, no longer the pathetic, crybaby loser jimin knew her as. and the line between hate and love slowly began to blur.

THE SMELL OF CHLORINE AND VANILLA

there was something freeing about becoming one with the water. despite the long years of performing the sport, y/n couldn't help but relish in the way the water grazes her skin and parts its waves for her. she is its sculptor, molding the aqua into her very own city, a city that only she ruled.

as she glided through the water with such haste, she surfaces and reaches for the timer on the ledge of the swimming pool, fumbling to tap the button.

100m freestyle, 52.73. y/n hums, craning her neck to watch as the ripples she created slowly subside, breathing heavily. her eyes trail around the room in a fast motion, checking the time. 5:43 pm. she contemplates staying for a little while longer, before remembering that she was only supposed to stay until 6.

she reckons she'll get a good night's rest.

y/n has always hated crowds. she hates how everyone's packed together like sardines, barely leaving any room to breathe in. everyone's pushing, and loud, and aggressive, and trying to push to get to the front. she stays outside the perimeter of the huddled up crowd.

y/n muttered strings of curses under her breath, slipping the phone in her pocket as she clutches her duffel bag for dear life. she circles around the crowd, trying to look for an entry into the backstage that the crowd hasn't already blocked. aha!

she slips through the barrier with ease, paying no mind to the group dancing to eminem's the real slim shady on the makeshift dancefloor in the middle of the field.

oh, fuck. kang forgot to mention how crowded the backstage is, too. y/n's eyes flick from person to person, scanning the whole room for her step-brother. a job that shouldn't be hard with her height proves to be difficult, raising her chin as she walks past countless teams, gripping the duffel bag's strap tighter as countless of eyes fell on her.

with her eyes too busy scanning the room and legs that walked on autopilot, she was bound for trouble. and that trouble just happened to be bumping into the last person she needed for it to be. yu jimin.

the shorter girl was dressed in a black, oversized shirt that contained a photo of cat on the front, and light green pants. her hair was tied up into two pigtails, with a headband to top the whole outfit off. jimin looked good, and she knew it. she looks at y/n with wide eyes, and the taller girl is suddenly aware of her outfit.

y/n had sported a black, long sleeve compression shirt paired with a black sweatpants, and she gripped the strap of her bag in a vice grip.

jimin's lips struggled to get a response out of her system, her usual "get out the way, nerd!" response met its demise on her tongue. is this even the same person? that kim y/n? now she gets why people go for the nerds.

her eyes meet y/n's and she only realised then how close their proximity was, when the smell of chlorine and vanilla to mask the smell wafts into her nose. jimin hated the smell of chlorine. one of her exes used to be a swimmer, and she'd remember the pungent smell of pool water when she'd meet up with him. yet she doesn't mind it on the girl in front of her. it rather fits her, she thought.

jimin absentmindedly blinks her eyes when she heared go min-si's voice through the open flaps of the tent, and bumped shoulders with y/n as a hurried last minute bitchy move, strutting down the line of competitors.

y/n breathes out a heavy sigh of relief the moment jimim had gone, shoulders slumping as she massaged her temples, relieved that her highschool bully didn't try to stir a pot of drama. "oh my fucking god."

after a hectic amount of time wasted on looking for kang, y/n found herself outside the perimeter of the crowd once again, eyes mindlessly trained on the men the performed gasolina on stage. she was so out of it that she didn't notice yeonjun approach her, placing a wicked hand on her shoulder, successfully earning a shriek from the girl.

"what the fuck, yeonjun?!"

"i thought you weren't coming?"

y/n grumbles, crossing her arms and trying to even her erratic heartbeat from the jumpscare in deep breaths. "kang needed his jacket and i went to drop it off for him. thought i'd stick around to see what the fuss is all about with this whole dance competition thing."

"and how is it so far?"

"shit. i don't get why people would want to sacrifice air and personal space just to see a bunch of people dancing." y/n deadpans, watching as the crowd cheers and the team on stage finishes.

"you know they can breathe, right?" yeonjun raised an eyebrow in amusement, lips lined into a smirk.

"yeah, yeah. whatever. i bumped into jimin on the way to kang too. i was scared shitless." y/n scrunches her nose, glancing at a cackling yeonjun.

"did you- i bet you shit your pants!" he wheezes, continuously landing smacks on the agitated girl.

"you don't get it! she literally stared at me with those laser fucking eyes! i swear to fuck i thought i was about to combust into a pool of blood beneath her gaze!" y/n replies, tugging at her damp hair that danced with the breeze. "i was eye to eye with a demon, yeonjun! it's a miracle that i'm even able to stand beside you right now."

yeonjun loses his composure, using y/n as a wall and leaning all his weight onto her, making unflattering noises and coming to a halt when kang appears on stage again.

"and now, give it up for aespa!"

yeonjun glances at y/n in silence as a remix of sexyback and are you that somebody? played.

ouhhhh something is brewing...🧙‍♀️

2024 Fish in review

Grass carp - mushy and tastes like dirt

Rockfish - excellent texture and mild flavor. Favorite so far.

Tilapia -mushy with nothing to add in terms of flavor

Pompano - Firm, keeps its shape, and conducive to pan frying. Generous fat deposits that render nicely into a tasty layer of grease. What tilapia wishes it could be.

Flounder - tilapia again.

Bighead carp - "Maybe not all carp are bad," I thought. Maybe not all carp are bad, but at least two kinds of carp are bad, and I have no desire to try a third.

Sardine - I wouldn't mind the strong fishy taste if it wasn't for the subpar texture and aggravating bones. Composted the rest.

Salmon - I respect it as the PNW's flagship fish but fresh salmon is just ok.

Rainbow trout - I ate too many trout in 2022 and am now in trout recovery, indefinitely.

Shad - see carp, with added aggravating bones.

Branzino - decent. Mild.

Halibut - mild with a meaty texture. Not worth the price, though.

Striped bass - similar to halibut, but cheaper. Pretty good.

Ocean perch - like rockfish. Good.

Turbot - the classic fishstick fish, but I think the one I bought wasn't very fresh. Which is probably why it was on sale

Beltfish - very good when I had it at a Korean restaurant. I've also had mediocre beltfish at a potluck. I'm willing to give DIY beltfish a shot in 2025.

Mackerel - Greasy and meaty in all the right ways. Grilled and deep fried were both great. Pan cooked was meh.

Orion ✨ About The Constellation Orion

Let us remember the “Constellation of Orion” of the Egyptians; it is evident that this constellation is governed by 12 Great Masters. Esoterically it is said that those 12 Masters assist each other, but the 6th is always missing, meaning that “In order to attain SeIf-Realisation it is necessary to rend the veil of Isis” or, that is, the Adamic Sexual Veil.

Only in liberating oneself from sex in an absolute manner can one reach final liberation. The difficulty in all of this is, as the saying goes: “wanting to saddle the horse before you’ve caught it”. That is to say, the information given by all of those schools who say that one must liberate one self from sex, but without having fabricated the Solar Bodies.

Firstly, the Solar Bodies must be fabricated, and then sex must be renounced. That is the right way of things, and the things of the right way. In the work, first it is the animal, and later, the spiritual.

The constellation of Orion has a marked influence upon the atomic star which guides us internally which is Ain Soph Paranishpanna, our intimate star. As one Master said: “I raise my eyes to the stars from whence must come my help, but I am always guided by my Star which I have within”.

(Samael Aun Weor, Tarot And Kabbalah, Excerpts from Chapter 37, Arcanum Nº 15)

In Atlantis existed seven important oracles in the physical world, where men studied the wisdom of the stars and consulted the sidereal Gods. The guardians of those mysteries were great initiates. In the oracle of Mars, Martian occultism was taught; in the oracle of Jupiter, the Jupiterian religion; in the oracle of Venus, the arts, and Venusian knowledge; in the oracle of Saturn, the wisdom of Saturn; in the oracle of the Moon, lunar occultism; in the oracle of Mercury, Mercurian wisdom; and in the solar oracle, our Gnostic wisdom.

The ancient priests taught their disciples how to interpret the firmament. Those signs are interpreted basing oneself on the law of philosophical analogies, for example: if you see black stars with your clairvoyance, there is failure for thee. If you see a star fall from heaven at the moment when a friend leaves on a trip, there is going to be a funeral for thy friend. If the star falls on someone, or close to someone important, that personage will die. If a wandering star passes before thee by surprise, someone is leaving thee. If you see two yellow stars separating from each other, it means “war”.

Through thy esoteric studies thou shalt remain under the direction of some planetary genii, and they shall call thee by means of luminous signs that thou shalt learn to recognize. Thou should also comprehend the sparkle of thy celestial Father’s star when he calls thee to instruct thee in the mysteries of Light.

This earth, so dense, that thou inhabits today, will in a remote day be etheric and we will then have the celestial Jerusalem where neither tears nor pain exist. By then, the constellation of Orion which has brought so much bitterness to the world through the north, will shine illuminating a world full of glee and happiness.

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter”.

“And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne”.

“And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald”.

“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold”.

“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God”.

“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind”.

“And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle”.

“An the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come”.

“And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever”.

“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying’ç

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”. (Revelation 4)

May the most profound peace reign in thy hearts.

(Samael Aun Weor, Zodiacal Course, Excerpt from the Chapter “Pisces)

What are some 10/10 albums that you love?

wowie good morning. i just woke up. this is not an extensive list but:

in the aeroplane over the sea - by neutral milk hotel. beautiful album that makes extensive use of the singing saw. seen as kind of meme music due to it being popular with a certain kind of 4chan user but it speaks to the soul. its about love and its consequences... it makes my heart strings sing

benji by sun kil moon. sun kill moon aka mark kozelek or however u spell it is funny bcus despite being such a huge arsehole he makes amazing music. benji is a reflection upon his life in a way that much of his music is but really feels like it strikes at a greater sense of nostalgia than any of his other albums

fetch the boltcutters. fiona apple is an artist who words fail me for. visionary in idea and execution, it was rly hard to pick just one album from her. when the pawn... could easily be here too. the piano n her voice go together like the sun and light

rave tapes - so many evenings spent listening to this in my beautiful flat in glasgow. perfect ambience for a winter evening or an acid trip. i saw mogwai live and it was like an acid trip in of itself... i feel this one way be a 10/10 more for personal and nostalgic reasons but it truly is an amazing listen in a dark room w/ some candles n headphones

in rainbows - it was again hard to choose from radiohead's discography esp when they have so much range (fog again, worrywart, gagging order, idioteque, pakt like sardines, creep, etc) and in rainbows doesnt rly capture that range fully imo. but every track on this album is a masterpiece and it is overall their finest work. faves are all i need (first song i ever listened to while at sea), video tape, and go slowly (disk 2!).

masterpiece - oh my GOD how am i to describe big thief? how on earth do i convey to u the rawness... the humanity of this album. it is a collection of tales of troubled youth put forward in the most beautiful, whole, perfectly imperfect way. favourites are real love, paul, masterpiece (tho i prefer the solo version) and VEGAS. what a song vegas is. it is a hymn. it is my prayer.

twin fantasy- the 2011 version. a love story about obsession and loss. about finding your person, your rock, and finding them gone... about the grief and the pain and the agony that comes from that. about a young man screaming against god, against the world, against himself, at the injustice of it all. it is innocent.

the milk-eyed mender - joanna newsom's music brings something from beyond this world into this world and any attempt to articulate this will fall short. if you want to listen to what the music of the fair folk is like then go and listen. it is a shame to say so little about truly life-changing music but nothing can be said.

the money store- i love everything on death grip's discography (yes everything) but seeing them perform get got live on 2cb was PHENOMENAL. beware was a close second n rly exmilitary could be here.... but i feel the money store is a better album overall and is more cohesive n whole. it shows the wisdom of a life of animal instinct.

this was longer than i wanted and there r probs albums i missed out but thanks for the question anon i love you

Because my last splatband was called "Mouthwash for Whales", I got an idea: what if the Tulpar crew from Mouthwashing were a Splatoon band?

I've decided they're a Muse-ish symphonic rock band called Plastic Windows (プラスチック窓).

CURLY カーリー

* Wandering albatross

* DJ

* 45 years old

* So much taller than his bandmates that he rarely notices their everyday troubles

* Injured his head while diving

* Rescued Jimmy from the streets of Splatsville

* Judging by the facts that there are still birds alive in Splatoon (only mammals are extinct), Crusty Sean the mutant shrimp serves regular shrimp (so a mutant animal doesn't replace its original counterpart), Tangle Feeder, a mutant seaweed plant, exists (that's more absurd than a bird-person), and the only criterion for something becoming a Splatoon-person is that it's an aquatic or marine lifeform, I imagine there are seagull-people and albatross-people in Splatoon's world, we just haven't seen any yet.

* I made him a bird because he flies the ship, and he overlooks an obvious problem.

* I made him the DJ or sound engineer because the DJ doesn't have much of an actively-performing role yet without them, the crew falls apart.

JIMMY ジミー

* Hedgehog seahorse

* Vocalist

* 29 years old

* Has a very prickly personality

* Joined a band because he was tired of his minimum-wage job as a postal worker

* Anya is terrified of his temper

* Never drinks alcohol

* I made him a hedgehog seahorse in reference to Pony Express and Polle (horses) but also his abrasive and spiky nature.

* I made him the vocalist because he thinks he's the centre of everything but can't actually play an instrument for shit.

ANYA アーニャ

* Giant manta ray

* Keyboardist

* 36 years old

* Gives the best hugs

* Abandoned a career in medicine for the band

* Currently pregnant with a pup

* Never open for interviews

* I made her a giant manta ray because manta rays are some of the only fish to give birth to live young, and also the most peaceful apex predators in the world, which reflects Anya's pregnancy and timid nature in Mouthwashing.

* I made her the keyboardist because she is the whole root of the conflict in Mouthwashing, and a keyboardist usually defines the sound of their band.

SWANSEA スウォンジー

* Goniobranchus kuniei sea slug

* Guitarist

* 55 years old

* Into mollusc-dad-rock

* Swears too much on live TV

* Hasn't seen his children for a long time

* I made him a sea slug because they get themselves drunk on sponge poison, like how Swansea is a relapsing alcoholic. This specific species of sea slug has a colour palette and shape matching Swansea's outfit and build.

* I made him the guitarist because a guitar is known as an "axe", and Swansea in Mouthwashing wields an axe.

DAISUKE 大介

* Slender rainbow sardine

* Tambourinist

* 17 years old

* Wants to be able use a DAW someday

* Has an intense feeling of claustrophobia at all times

* Joined the band after hearing Swansea's music in a Turf War

* Suffers from haemophilia

* I made him a slender rainbow sardine because he's colourful and childlike.

* I made him the tambourinist, because a tambourine is not a very important instrument but at least he's trying, like Daisuke being the engineering intern on the Tulpar.

CC-BY-SA 4.0, since there's no copyrightable character design element from either work in these pictures (except maybe the Anya design looks a bit too similar to Big Man, but nobody's going to waste a court's time proving that).

I posted this lil thing on twitter as a thread fic for tengen’s bday so i’ll give it to y’all too 😬 just something short and sweet for my favorite flashy boi ❤️

Xx

Tengen comes home to a frenzied mess in the kitchen. Bowls and spoons of various sizes litter the island countertop, there’s about five mangled eggshells piled onto a paper towel, and there’s flour absolutely everywhere.

“Tengen!” Kyojuro— also covered in flour— greets him.

“Happy birthday!” He opens his arms like he’s presenting a gift, but there’s nothing except the evidence of what has to be a culinary nightmare. Smeared frosting is clinging to one of his cheeks, but his hands are suspiciously clean.

“Is the ransacked kitchen my gift?”

“No!” Kyo directs his hands to a purple limp on the counter. “I made you a cake!”

The cake is… well, it’s a cake. Uneven purple frosting sits heavy on the lopsided cake, and the words “happy birthday Tengen” are piped in wobbly green letters on the top. There’s candles sticking out of every free space around the message, crammed onto the cake like sardines in a can, and rainbow sprinkles desperately cling to the sides, falling off in clumps.

“I made it from scratch!” Kyo says, beaming with pride. He wipes his forehead with his forearm and leaves a trail of flour in it’s wake. “I kept cracking the eggs too hard—“ he gestures to the sorry pile of eggshells— “but I’ll buy more tomorrow!”

The cake probably tastes terrible, as Kyojuro isn’t exactly known for his baking abilities. But he looks so happy, and he probably spent hours making everything from scratch and putting it all together. Hot tears prick at the back of Tengen’s eyes; his birthday has always been bittersweet, a contradiction of guilt and joy. In front of others he acts just as energetic as always, but the moment he’s alone his mood always plummets.

Not today, though. Today his home is full and warm with love, and his wonderful husband’s smile is sunlight on his soul, and he doesn’t feel so bad, after all.

Tengen wipes the flour off of Kyo’s head with his sleeve before kissing it, and says, “What are we waiting for, then? Let’s eat!”

They don’t bother cutting the cake. Why dirty more plates when it’ll be gone by the end of the night, anyway?

There’s a significant amount of resistance when Tengen pushes his fork into the cake, and when he puts it in his mouth it’s so dense that it takes him almost a full minute to swallow.

“Wow,” Kyo says. “That’s terrible!”

Somehow through his laughter Tengen replies, “It’s not that bad! It could definitely be worse… somehow!”

They still finish the cake, laughing the entire time. He may still feel the shadow of guilt and grief swirling in his chest, but he can bask in Kyojuro’s warmth and let his light chase away all his demons, at least for tonight.

I was at louis' show in september last year (it was in the same arena harry performed at the year prior), and while I wasn't near the barricade I was relatively close in the standing section. My experience was very different from the OP's (argentinian show) in that I was surrounded by fans who were screaming the lyrics to every single song, rainbow flags were all around me during OTB, everyone was excited and happy. Although near the end of the show I got a bit closer and there were gaps in the crowd which I found strange... we were sardines in a can all over, and then suddenly there's a big gap, multiple meters between fans. Idk if that's normal since it was my first concert where I was in the standing section, but it seemes weird. Anyways, most people as far as I could tell were around 20, I don't remember seeing older fans at all. I did see some missing spots in quite a few sections, so he definitely didn't sold out the arena even though the capacity is like 12-13k. But it was also in hungary and I don't think he has a very big fanbase here anyway. I at least don't know anyone who's a fan of his in my personal life.

I just wanted to share my experience, because it really is so different for every ppl in different shows/sections. Also all the rainbow flags were so special to me during my show because our government is very anti-lgbtq and in my high school and then uni I heard so many homophobic remarks from students that I kind of assumed not many people would show their support in that way, I really didn't expect many rainbow flags at all. So being a queer person in hungary, i've never felt as much acceptance as at that show, ever.

Hi, sweetheart. As an “older” person, I’d hazard a guess that the bulk of people in the pit are going to be the youngest fans, so I don’t think it’s all that unusual for someone to experience that age breakdown in a standing-room-only sardine can. 😉 But I’ve seen a lot of people bringing up OTB missing from the set list as a big reason the flags are missing. So maybe that’s it? That doesn’t really make sense to me as it seems more tied to less fans planning projects etc. But maybe it’s part of it? The big gaps in the crowd seems odd, but maybe that’s just how people were standing for that particular show.

I’m so glad you had such a positive experience and I really want to emphasize (again) that the OP of that post about the Argentina show was just talking about their own experience. I don’t think anyone is saying it’s across the board and that everyone feels the same way.
