Moon jellyfish ! ! ! My Beloved ! ! !

Fun facts!!!

A group of sea jellies is called a Bloom !

The four hoof-shaped things you see at the top of a jelly are called 'gonads'!

The frilly tentacles you see in the middle are called 'oral arms' and is used to move the food it catches to its mouth!

Some species of jelly - such as the pink meanie - eat other jellies !

You put a lot of work into this.

A spreadsheet/graph/whatever about the merfolk of the Kingslayers world, and information about them based on the oceanic zone they live in.

This is what love feels like (beautiful women in your area)

Aaaaaaa i went looking the the red knight au like a month ago and couldn’t find it but now I have and life is great!!! Its so fucking good and one of the first things i read when i got into dpxdc and I am having a great time. I really hope you continue it because its so fucking good i love it you write so well

This is an older ask. I have no idea how old, they don't give me dates. However I hope you still love the Red Knight AU.

I picked an ask just because I wanted to share Jason being horny on main. This is pre-editting and I'm a bit delirious from sleep deprivation so don't mind if it's rough. I just thought Jason was being really cute.

~~~~~~☆☆☆☆~~~~~~

The part of his mind that wasn't occupied with feeling all warm and gooey and shit over that was taking the man himself in. As he tended to do whenever the others weren't around. And sometimes when the others were around. And when Danny smiled. Or laughed. Or was incredibly focused on a project and he got that adorable furrow between his brows and he'd stick his tongue out just slightly. And sometimes he looked too when Danny was in his vicinity for longer than a few seconds.

Fine. All the time. Any time Danny so much as walked by him, his eyes were glued to the man unless something forcibly drew his attention away.

Danny was fucking beautiful, alright? Sue him or whatever goddammit. Actually, no, fucking sue Danny. No one had a right to look that damn ethereal and angelic and otherworldly. It had to be a legitimate crime. Somewhere.

He was all long limbs and lithe muscles. Pale skin and constellations of freckles and winter sky blue eyes. Hair like a starless night sky, loose strands painting lines like ink across his lightly scarred skin. He glowed even in human form, it was subtle but so Ancients' damn alluring too. As if he held a light just under his skin that bathed him in its radiance. 

~~~~~☆☆☆☆~~~~~

Jason is gone. So gone. He knows it. Everyone but Danny knows it. He's just really good at procrastinating doing things. Ironically, him running off on this mental tangent is him procrastinating something else. I love him.

Jason just. Pushes off anything that's deeply emotional when it comes to other people specifically. He's scared of getting hurt. It's that fear of rejection and abandonment rearing its ugly head.

Anyways. Part 16 is at 2.9k words now, so that's going swimmingly.

stealing these tags off @roughentumble’s post to talk about something totally unrelated. this reminded me of my friend who works on anglerfishes and a couple of papers he told me about once regarding the immunological factors in anglerfishes that let male anglers face-fuse to females without her immune system, like, melting him. some anglers literally have NO immune system whatsoever which is WILD but also sort of makes sense in an environment where you mostly just. don’t encounter other living creatures. communicable disease who? there’s nobody down here to communicablize! but there’s a spectrum of immune system adaptation here, not all of them ditched the whole thing. i need to go find the papers again bc I don’t remember the details.

point being. i have immunological questions here. what ARE the immunological factors for a guy with super healing even like. probably you don’t really need a super immune response. if you have a normal guy’s immune response and can also do super healing of viral and bacterial damage that’s already better than the normal guy. plus if you do have a super immune response you’re vulnerable to Super Autoimmune Diseases too, and that sounds wretched. so you prob just want a normal immune system? maybe? depending on what kinds of super viruses the villains are putting out these days? though super immune systems also have concerning implications for an arms race, like how anything that makes the jump from bats to humans specifically is bad fucking news because their basal body temp is pretty close to the temp we raise our own bodies to in order to kill stuff.

anyways. toxic enmeshment step 2: you fused with a second guy with super healing and have created the world’s most fucked-up autoimmune situation in the world. fighting your own body AND his body even if you detach yourselves again. or not! maybe you can do the anglerfish thing, whatever the anglerfish thing is, I’m on gscholar right now looking

Hello! This is @seraphmaws ‘s new blog dedicated to stim stuff! I noticed i’ve never received a request for something stim related over on that blog so i decided to move stim related content all over here and focus the other blog on rentry + graphic stuff. I’ll be posting my stimboards and original gif sets here from now on. I have a Sntry that includes everything you’ll need to know about this blog! Make sure you read it if you plan on making requests for when my requests open

Speaking of which, requests are currently closed for the time being while i still get situated. I have also been under a lot of stress lately so i hope working on my stim content will help me to relax. Til then, i plan to put a lot of focus onto this blog in the next couple days! (have some editing stuff i need to finish first :P) I’m excited to get started soon! :D

i'm in canada, and most provinces up here are waiting until the US makes DST permanent in order to follow suit. and we were basically promised no more clock changes when your senate passed the sunlight protection act of 2022. but for some arcane, unknowable reason, congress failed to take it up. so folks are left twisting in the winds of time while politicians sit on their thumbs and dawdle about, even though over 90 percent of the population, at least in my province, supports making daylight last longer into the evening during winter. but i've always believed that if we wanna make a better world, we gotta do it ourselves. no one can take that responsibility away from us, especially not politicians. or basically anyone in authority.

so with that in mind, i'm just gonna refuse to set my clock back this november. it's literally just an hour's difference so it's really not a big deal to mentally convert my time to everyone else's time and vice-versa. for example, if everyone else starts work at 8, i'd be starting at 9, only we'd be starting at the same time because i'd basically be a timezone unto myself. but this means i get more daylight in my evenings, so i'll be more likely to avoid seasonal depression.

you too can join in! i mean, obviously decide for yourself if this is right for you (you might personally prefer to have more daylight in the mornings rather than evenings, for example). people are different and prefer different things. humans are amazingly diverse that way and i love that about us. a solution that works for one will not necessarily work for another. and there are definitely valid arguments both for and against making dst permanent. but as for me, i know what i'm doing this winter: enjoying more evening sunshine.

Other Mythologies

The whale road lost a beast today

His song again to never play

And floating down an ocean vein

He hits the ground and starts decay

For Sunlight’s loss is Bathyal’s gain

A gift that sinks from Heaven’s plane

And from the biomass they creep

To feast on (worship) savior slain

The denizens of ocean deep

Rejoice, where shallow fishes weep

This gentle giant will provide

A harvest for abyssal reap

Once scavengers their trade have plied

And opportunists get inside

The neighborhood will gain a reef

From barest bone and holy hide

A scene of ocean leitmotif

As loss goes hand in hand with grief

In death the whale provides relief

In death, the whale provides relief.

Every summer my sleep schedule seems to always want to match my american friends. 4 hours after I wake up my family are already going to bed and then I go to sleep just after they all wake up. so this is what it is to have american friends.

my big old skink got his tank redone for the spring! he's such a chill guy. haven't picked him up in about 4 months since he was brumating and he doesn't give a shit.

still as docile and sweet as ever

I think I've said this and perhaps it's unpopular but I want permanent daylight savings (NOT a permanent ban). I'm a morning but not crack of dawn morning person with massive eastern-facing windows and also I'm drinking my coffee right now, half an hour before sunrise my time, and it fucking rips.
