THE UNDERTOW - TRAUMAGICIAN

There's something in the water You know deep down it's true There's something in the water Deep deep down, where the blue Of the calm and clammy surface Gives way to murky black There's something in the water And it's waiting to attack

There's something in the water And it's waiting to attack There's something in the water And it's waiting to attack

It's waiting in the millpond It's waiting in the stream It has sisters, who have sisters Their teeth all mossy green Their fingers strong and spindly With fishnets for their gowns They want you in the water And they're gonna drag you down

They want you in the water And they're gonna drag you down They want you in the water And they're gonna drag you down

Your grandma always knew it She tried to keep you warned But the wisest words of the wisest women Are all too often scorned We drive them mad with worry Then we drive them from our towns To the wet and weary wastelands Where innocence goes to drown They end up in the water Oh, they always do They end up in the water They'll pull you under too

Under too, in the undertow To the rocky rough riverbed down below Under too, in the undertow To the rocky rough riverbed down below Under too, in the undertow Run the rocky rough river red down below Under too, in the undertow Run the rocky rough river red down below

To the bottom! of a deep dark hole To the bottom! of your deep dark soul To the bottom! of a deep dark hole To the bottom! of your deep dark soul

Rusalka is in the water Ophelia's in there too The kelpies and the selkies And undines bedecked with dew

So many myths and legends, and one thing that is true There's a woman in the water And she's waiting there for you

She'll pull you Under too, in the undertow To the rocky rough riverbed down below Under too, in the undertow To the rocky rough riverbed down below Under too, in the undertow Run the rocky rough river red down below Under too, in the undertow Run the rocky rough river red down below

To the bottom! of a deep dark hole To the bottom! of your deep dark soul To the bottom! of a deep dark hole To the bottom! of your deep dark soul

So many myths and legends And one thing that is true There's a woman in the water And she's waiting there for you

CRABS FOR CRAB DAY

CRAB TIME

[sozosnipes]

Happy crab day—meet the sand crab! This picture contains four sand crabs, with their rears buried in the sand! No bigger than a thumb, a sand crab spends most of its time half buried just like these ones are. Well camouflaged by its gray shell, a sand crab keeps its balance in the ever-moving sand with the help of a heavily armored, curved body and pointy legs. To stay put in the sand, a crab burrows quickly and often. While most crabs move in any direction — forward, backward and sideways — a sand crab moves only backward. And a sand crab has no claws on its first pair of legs — another unusual feature for a crab.

OMG what a wonderful specimen, thank you so much for this. Happy crab day to you too!

aint no way my 69th top song is a goncharov song

[sillyfbiman]

I've been really excited to rewatch Goncharov as it's on the streaming platform I use again, so I thought I'd share my favourite song from the soundtrack. Absolute gem.

I love your potion designs! With your fish one... if you drink the whole potion, does the fish inside suffocate? Or can you refill the bottle so he can still breathe? I must know—I’m concerned for his safety!

Thank you! Don’t worry, it doesn’t need the liquid. it’s a magic fish that you can keep as a pet :) maybe a familiar?

Dunno if you’re still doing the career clown thing, but I’m a reporter! I’m also three years through a thoroughly useless degree in opera performance—I’ll be swapping over to commercial music and finishing my degree as soon as I can get myself vaccinated.

I am! And I love all of this I had no idea you could get a degree in opera performance. Commercial music is smart though

@traumagician these guys?

Thanks for posting about the difference between katydid nymphs and grasshopper nymphs! I caught what I thought was a grasshopper nymph the other day and planned to keep him as a pet, but was perplexed as to why he wasn’t eating the leaves I offered him—I ended up releasing him after a day and a half because I didn’t want him to starve. Now, looking at your post, I can see he was actually a katydid nymph! They must be a bit pickier than my garden grasshoppers usually are.

Oh fun! I suppose I’d have to know which type it was to know what its issue was. Maybe that kind only eats specific plant species. Hope they find some tasty snacks outdoors though and live a good long life!

Your arms dealer/bone merchant guy is fantastic. He can have all my money.

Thanks! I’m sure he’ll be GLAD to hear that! I should make him into an actual character, I didn’t think he’d be popular
