Day 29: Sponge People

(Man I am on a roll. I already know what my ideas are gonna be for the last two prompts after this as well. So this one I knew was gonna be about Coralkin, but then I figured why not add onto the body horror part. What would be more terrifying to a hive mind then some of your parts screaming in stress for no reason at all? No one ever thinks of the kinds of dieases that could affect an anthro creature)

This is a public service announcement. Do not disregard this message. It has come to the attention of the Atlantean Council that there has been a recent uptick in cases of Coralkin bleaching. We believe this to be the case due to not only the recent reef ventures provided as a tourist service in relation to where we have parked the city but also purported electrical failures in certain areas of the city. We understand your concerns and are thus moving to better waters to ensure the safety of our people as well as sending out as many technicians as we can. Please report any damaged cooler systems. Our Coralkin representative here at the council has also fallen ill after a recent outing to try and nurture some fellow staghorns. He has decided to include a statement of his experience with being bleached in order to help his fellow people understand the symptoms and thus be able to report them to the proper medical procedures. We came in that day thinking nothing of our time out there in the deep blue other than despair for our fellow non-uplifted coral. Every polyp of us agreed to try and see if our researchers could create an algal therapy in order to save our fellows from their stress. However, only a small handful of us noticed that the suit we wore had a scratch in it. It was already too late however. A cursory look in the mirror revealed that our right arm polyps had already ejected the algae. We tried to call out to them, but they were already so scared and worried. The rest of us could feel their stress. We could barely even get them to listen when we asked them to move that arm. We don’t even know what’s worse, the fear they were sending to the rest of us or the hunger that they so desperately wanted to be fulfilled. Our time at the doctor was fulfilling however. Algal therapy does wonders in order to cure the bleaching. Contrary to popular belief, they do not supply artificial algae. They take a culture of your algae and grow more and then apply a salve to the stressed part in order to bond it back together again. The rest of us have been taking care of those polyps, keeping ourselves in sunlight with the air conditioning on. Trust me, see a doctor. Symptoms of Bleaching in Coralkin: 

Polyps turn white

Polyps start sending signals of distress and fear

Polyps do not respond to fellow polyps messages. 

Increased hunger

Increased stress

Full Bleaching: Higher rate of mortality due to stress and hunger

Symptoms to Look Out for If Not Coralkin:

Whiteness in the body

Lethargy

Worried and panicked actions

Seeking light at a hurried rate

Remember: Bleaching is not just a common disease. It can mean the death of an entire coral.

I was binging a bunch of SpongeBob episodes and then skipped around to random episodes. What is up with this scene 😭

Hey Have you also been thinking about Tiger, Tiger by @pepurika non-stop? Great! I've made a playlist because that is what happens when characters live rent free in my brain

The Captain's right hand Blue Sponge Cookie

Don't let his humorous disposition fool you, Blue Sponge Cookie didn't get his high rank position on the most respectable ship of the republic just by kissing up to it's captain. He's a witty little bugger who could talk his way out of hell on pure charisma alone. Some of the crew even claim that's how he's survived this long. Which is why his true job aboard, is to keep the ship's morale high. As while he is often the subject of teasing, he's well ingrained with the entire crew as a close confidant and friend. Plus, he's terrifyingly adept at duel-wielding Blunderbusses... both of which he's affectionately named "Moby jr" and "Moby sr". Extra below cut

27 year old Trans man (he/him)

Was hired by Caviar the same time as Staghorn

Like most the crew, he has a tattoo (Of the sun, on his back)

Despite his lanky figure, he's actually fairly tough

Is often the guy who likes spreading scary rumors about the crew, if only for a laugh (He likes to imply that looking into his eyes will turn you to stone)

Has a sibling bond with Staghorn (they bully each other often)

Had an interesting Duck Shuffler

[royalthorned]

thinking about the carrow twins and their joined morality and cleanliness. how after every battle they would clean each other and explain what they had done. how they had to clean the other of their sins to feel guiltless. how their innocence and depravity floated between them in an entangles mess.

i didn’t know that there was discourse over how british people wash dishes and now i fear that dan and phil are these types of british people and im disgosted

[leverage-ot3]

not going to give the blog any attention or time of day but this is your reminder that the leverage crew would never be zionists or support israel whatsoever

I wasn't going to engage with it because I value my mental health but yeah. absolutely fucking NOT

y'all really think that this group of people that actively go out of their way to go against the rich and powerful, who make it their goal to help people that are oppressed, devalued by society and taken advantage by those more powerful would at all EVER align themselves with israel? bffrrn

I'm going to go off for a few paragraphs about why this is such a horrendously ridiculous and delusional idea, but I'm not going to clog up your dash so it's going under the cut. I want to respect people who already participate in activism and need fandom space for lighter things

tw for discussion of the atrocities and war crimes happening in palestine

over 25 THOUSAND innocent people have died as a result of israeli terror the last few months alone. over 10 thousand children. entire family lines have been erased from the world forever- grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren all martyred, often together as they are sheltering from bombs and bullets until they are murdered by soldiers that laugh as they shoot and detonate bombs.

you really think that eliot 'I adopt every child I see' spencer would support a regime that let a child stay trapped in a car where her family members were martyred, not let paramedics in for days and then when they finally let the paramedics approach they kill both her AND the EMS? you think he would stand with the government that arrests children as young as 6 years old for *checks hand* being terrorists (because what fucking 6 year old is a terrorist let alone any kind of national threat. they're fucking SIX). that snipes children for throwing rocks at tanks and their apartheid walls

he and all of them would weep at the picture released the other day of the little girl handing from rubble with her legs blown off.

all of them would be horrified of the bombardment that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians, women, children, men, elderly alike with no fucking care. that shoots people with their hands up waving white flags. that bulldozes graveyards and digs up bodies and probably steals organs from they dying and deceased. that bombs hospitals, governmental and archival buildings, mosques, churches, holy sites, schools and universities. whose soldiers have a trend where they go through women's underwear drawers and make lewd comments about their lingerie and how kinky they must be. who make tiktoks of them playing in decimated playgrounds and signing their children's names on bombs. who force parents to collect pieces of their children in plastic bags because they have been blown apart by relentless bombing. who shoot a grandmother holding a child's hand. who murdered a woman that dared say that she was older than the 'state' of israel.

the fact that you're posting this as israel relentlessly bombs rafa, the place they were told would be the only safe place to be, where 1.6 million people are living in tents living off animal feed because no sufficient humanitarian aid (if any) has been let through

these people that advocate for comeuppance and exposing wrongs would not support a regime that actively targets and murders journalists and their entire families.

you really think any of them would actively support a genocidal sociopathic government? fucking delusional

to a certain extent, I know that people want to keep fandom and advocacy spaces separate and I acknowledge and relate to that- when we are logged on every moment of the day we sometimes need to take breaks and engage with something else for our mental health. I need that too. and there is a very thin line when you try to apply fandom to current events because in all honesty, making headcanons about how your faves would react to X horrendous event can come off as extremely tone-deaf. I get you love your blorbos (I do too!), but actual people are suffering and it can come off as disingenuous to a lot of folks when you try to talk about your characters instead of the very real harm that is going on. HOWEVER, the other account posted in the leverage tag that the crew would be zionists and started that discourse and since it was already out there in our space I wanted to make sure that people know that this blog does not support that whatsoever.

and before this gets misconstrued: antizionism is not antisemitism. I have a lot of love for my jewish friends and followers, but saying that we can't be critical of war crimes and incessant aggression because it is a jewish state is fucking ridiculous. we should be able to hold any and all governments accountable when they do bad things (this absolutely also means I think we should hold the US accountable for enabling them and I live here. every country that is complicit needs to face consequences). saying that israel is exempt from criticism because jewish people deserve a right to a homeland isn't a great take. I completely understand fear of antisemitism and discrimination, but at some point we have to think critically and acknowledge that people are dying by the thousands and standing up for that and calling out atrocities takes precedence. jewish voices for peace has some really good content about this topic

anyways there's a random blog out there posting about how your faves are zionists splattering their rancid sponge and I want to make sure my stance on this subject is very clear: fuck israel, free palestine, and no one is free until everyone is free

Hardwon bonus action hugs Callie after she did upwards of 70 damage to him in one round 🥺

I love the contrast between Hardwon who has been mind controlled himself, had his friends be mind controlled, has been downed more times than he can count, to whom at one point this whole thing would have been just another Tuesday, being like you good? We’re good? No one died this is a win.

vs Callie who is having the worst week of her young life anyway and this is kind of the first time shes been used against others like this and are you mad at me? You should be mad at me. This is my fault! I should have done more.

ok sorry for more eso posting but I tend to lurk on the community and the specific response to "increased overland difficulty" in that new letter is fascinating to me. It's basically 50/50 "THANK GOD! Everyone has been asking for this. This is the most obviously good decision they have ever made!" and
