Hello, I'm still alive, with this very self-indulgent meme of Invader Zim OCs. Featuring Stomach Fish (along with a handful of characters that have never appeared in fics and no one besides me and four or five other psychopaths care about)
Selpa gets two spots because he was literally made to be hated. He only exists to be a bastard and I think that's beautiful

imagine ur tim drake, it's the anniversary of ur mother's funeral, christmas eve, and you're absolutely shitting ur pants bc you let your teammate feed you the crabcakes they made
you're absolutely going through it, and then u find out that doomsday (not the villain) is coming in the form of a meteor. u try to call batman and he's off planet. u call up nightwing's team and they're dealing with their own battle. there's nobody to help so you and your team go to fuckin,, fight an evil meteor. one of your friends is writing a will. you're all ready to die (you're ready to reunite with your mother).
and then fucking santa comes and waves hi and your team tries to tell him to watch out and then the evil meteor crashes into his sleigh and fucking explodes him and the reindeers in a glorious gory death
man. what are you doing next christmas eve.

Sometimes I feel like celiac disease doesn't actually count as a disability since it's so easy and stress free compared to deadly allergies, but then I remember that I have to meticulously plan every trip I go to and play 4D chess with uni campus restaurant menus and for a brief moment there was genuine consideration if I should be put on growth hormones because I was so small from not getting enough nutrients

Ghost going to Alaska El Camino style after an op turned ugly or very early retirement. Price expects a call in the week bc come on. It's Simon. That's what he does. But this man is lowkey vibing. Loves to fish when there's no sun for weeks on end. Goes outside in the dead of night just to walk and hear the snow crunch under his boots. Maybe he fights a bear, maybe he fucks a local something fierce and plans on making that poor thing's life hell for the foreseeable future. Love that for him.
me to this idea

The other post is getting too long so here’s the salmon plushie progress! Three more fins to make and attach, and eyes, but the first two fins are done and the fish is stuffed!
I filled it with mostly batting scraps, some fabric scraps, and a little bit of polyfil and it weighs about two pounds (that doesn’t sound like much but it’s a lot for a stuffed animal!)

Couldn't find out how to submit, so Hagfish.
Today on CHUNK, FUNK, GUNK! We rate
the HAGFISH:
6/10 Chunk
10/10 Funk
20/10 Gunk
Hagfish were actually the reason behind the addition of the Gunk category when I was first deciding on categories. Looks like it would be a lil squishy, good chunk level to be pleasant when held in my hands. Evolutionary perfection with a beautiful smile :) INCREDIBLY FUNKY. You will be hard-pressed to find a creature much more gunky than a Hagfish, SURPLUS GUNK.

Round 2.5 - Platyhelminthes - Trematoda
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)
Trematoda is a class of flatworms commonly known as “flukes.”
Trematodes are obligate internal parasites with a complex life cycle requiring at least two hosts. The intermediate host, in which asexual reproduction occurs, is usually a snail. The definitive host, where the flukes sexually reproduce, is a vertebrate. Trematodes are flattened oval or worm-like animals, usually no more than a few centimeters in length, although species as small as 1 millimetre are known. Their most distinctive external feature is the presence of two suckers, one close to the mouth, and the other on the underside of the animal. The body surface of trematodes comprises a tough syncytial tegument, which helps protect against digestive enzymes in species that inhabit the gut of larger animals. It is also the surface of gas exchange, as there are no respiratory organs. The mouth is located at the forward end of the animal, and opens into a muscular, pumping pharynx. The pharynx connects, via a short oesophagus, to one or two blind-ending caeca, which occupy most of the length of the body. In some species, the caeca are branched. As in other flatworms, there is no anus, and waste material must be egested through the mouth. The brain consists of a pair of ganglia in the head region, from which two or three pairs of nerve cords run down the length of the body. Trematodes generally lack any specialized sense organs, although some ectoparasitic species do possess one or two pairs of simple ocelli (eyes). Most trematodes are hermaphrodites, as are many internal parasites. Blood flukes (Schistosoma) are the only form of trematodes that are dioecious (have both a male and female sex). In the fluke’s definitive host, in which sexual reproduction occurs, eggs are commonly shed along with the host’s feces. Eggs which shed into water release free-swimming larval forms (Miracidia) that are infective to the intermediate host, in which asexual reproduction occurs.
Trematodes have a large variation of forms throughout their life cycles. An example of the diverse life history of trematodes is in the Bird Fluke, Leucochloridium paradoxum. The definitive hosts (in which the parasite reproduces) are various woodland birds, while the intermediate hosts (in which the parasite multiplies) are various species of snail. The adult parasite in the bird's gut produces eggs and these eventually end up on the ground in the bird's feces. Some eggs may be swallowed by a snail and hatch into larvae (miracidia). These larvae grow and take on a sac-like appearance. This stage is known as the sporocyst and it forms a central body in the snail's digestive gland that extends into a brood sac in the snail's head, foot and eye-stalks. It is in the central body of the sporocyst where the parasite replicates itself, producing many tiny embryos (redia). These embryos move to the brood sac and mature into cercaria. The snail’s eyestalk is swollen and the pulsating, colourful, banded broodsac visible inside mimics the appearance of an insect larva like a caterpillar (see gif below). This encourages their consumption by insectivorous birds. Observations in captivity indicated that birds tore the broodsac out of the snail before eating it so the snail may still survive this. Birds may also become infected by eating broodsacs that have spontaneously burst from the eyestalk, surviving for an hour whilst they continue to pulsate.
Trematodes have no fossil record.

Propaganda under the cut:
Humans can be infected by trematodes by immersion in or ingestion of contaminated water, or by consuming raw or undercooked contaminated animals or plants.
Flukes that cause disease in humans are often classified based on the organ system they infect.
Blood Flukes inhabit human blood in some stages of their life cycle. Blood flukes that cause disease in humans include Trichobilharzia regenti, which causes swimmer's itch, and seven species of genus Schistosoma which cause schistosomiasis: S. guineensis, S.haematobium, S. intercalatum, S. japonicum, S. malayensis, S. mansoni, S. mekongi. As a definitive host, humans are infected when the cercariae (the larval forms) penetrate the skin. Any contact with water containing these cercariae can potentially result in infection. Adult blood flukes can live for years in human or animal reservoir hosts. S. haematobium and S. japonicum are of particular importance, as these are carcinogenic parasites. S. haematobium, which infects the urinary bladder, is among the most important causes of bladder cancer in humans.
Liver Flukes are commonly found within the bile ducts, liver, and gallbladder in certain mammalian and avian species. They include Clonorchis sinensis, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Dicrocoelium hospes, Fasciola gigantica, Fasciola hepatica, Opisthorchis felineus, and Opisthorchis viverrini. Clonorchis and Opisthorchis are carcinogenic parasites that are strongly associated with the development of cancer of the bile ducts.
There are ten species of Lung Flukes that infect humans, causing paragonimiasis. Of these, the most common cause of human paragonimiasis is Paragonimus westermani, the Oriental Lung Fluke. Lung flukes require three different hosts in order to complete their life cycle. The first intermediate host is a snail, the second intermediate host is a crab or crayfish, and the definitive host for lung flukes is an animal or human host.
Intestinal Flukes inhabit the epithelium of the small intestine. These include Fasciolopsis buski (which causes fasciolopsiasis), Metagonimus miyatai, Metagonimus takahashii, Metagonimus yokogawai (which cause metagonimiasis), and Heterophyes heterophyes and Heterophyes nocens (which cause heterophyiasis).

Get urself a tat with Navia's constellation
I’m not a tattoo person but if I ever do decide to get a tattoo, it’d definitely be of Navia’s constellation or something Navia related 😌
I just want to be claimed by my wife :)

I know everyone thinks if they were a different species they'd be something charasmatic and probably mammalian but I'm p sure I'd be a giant catfish.

Saw the advertisement on television promoting the bundle deal of three dishes by Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights (豚香福建馆). Thought that it was a good deal plus the fact I have not been to the place yet. Dragged mum along to Northpoint City mall on a hot weekend afternoon since I couldn't possibly finish the set meal alone.
Tumblr media
Upon seated, the wait staff informed us that you can scan the QR code on the table to access the digital menu plus order. Placed ordered for the Bundled Deal (S$28.80++) consisting of the Signature Hokkien Mee, Iberico Pork Fried Beancurd and White Pepper Collagen Pig Stomach Soup.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Signature Hokkien Mee (招牌黑猪福建面) came with a mixture of yellow noodles and bee hoon (rice vermicelli) served over banana leaf. At a glance, one can spot prawns, squids, matchstick sized pork and plenty of deep-fried pork lards soaked in the gravy. While the overall taste is decent, the flavour profile of the prawn is not pronounced enough like they didn’t use enough prawn heads and shells to render out the prawn oil.
Tumblr media
Both of us enjoyed the Iberico Pork Fried Beancurd (酥炸黑猪酿卜) a lot. The minced pork is well seasoned and stuffed into fried bean curd puffs before going into hot oil. The puff outside is crispy while the meat is juicy. Remember to dip the whole thing into the sweet thick sauce for the complete package before devouring it.
Tumblr media
Was reminded that the White Pepper Collagen Pig Stomach Soup (胶原胡椒猪肚汤) is hot when it was served. It came with thinly sliced Iberico pork, tripe, fish maw and garnished with coriander and chilli. Taking a sip of the soup, I can detect the stickiness of the collagen on the lips and the spiciness of peppercorns though I would have enjoyed a stronger peppery taste. Both the tripe and pork were tender enough but the fish maw needs a longer cooking time to get to the softer texture I preferred.

While I enjoyed the meal, mum is a lot harder to please. She claims that the noodles look like last night leftover and other than the fried bean curd, I don’t think she like the other two dishes.
