#wild bumblebee fish

[witchofthesouls]

Hey! I saw an earlier post you had about the boys in the grocery store and it got me wondering about how they would react to hunting. I’m a hunter, have been all my life. I hunt deer, boars, ducks, coyotes, turkeys, quails, pheasants, wild Burmese pythons, and I fish locally too (strictly a vermin exterminator and food hunter, I find sports hunting to be distasteful and I strictly use a bow and arrow, no traps or guns as I take issues with those too). I can picture the absolute horror of the TFP or Lost Light bots seeing their/a human skinning and processing an animal that they just hunted for food, they see the modern convinces that are grocery stores so it’s easy to forget where human food actually comes from 😂

Weirdly enough, IDW/MTMTE does have Cybertronian edibles like cesium salami and rust sticks.

But then again, there's a big percentage of the crew members who were produced by the war, so there's a great chance that they didn't get a crash course on things that were deemed "unnecessary," like Cybertronian cuisine and fauna to forage and hunt.

TFP Cybertronians, on the other hand, have Questions.

Get ready to pull up diagrams, manuals, videos, and live demonstrations via YouTube or your own hands because they got the curiosity of two-year-old with the capacity to keep you in their palm for no escape.

Ratchet absolutely hates it. It's too messy and squishy and completely unalike the organized and relatively clean method of converting crystals to fuel. Horrified over the mysteries of hotdogs and how everything can and will kill humans without specific preparations to negate the toxins. Ratchet is boggled over spice challenges and how the hell humanity hadn't died in its infancy over culinary explorations. Someone told him to look up Hákarl.

He takes great displeasure when the kids sass him over Cybertronians eating their own blood. Different. Absolutely different. He clucks over the base kitchen and is not above making things disappear. He argues with June and Agent Fowler over the groceries and fast food bags. Ratchet's crunchy.

Bulkhead actually enjoys fishing. He's more catch and release rather than for keeping and gutting. He likes soaking up the heat of the sun, the sound of running water, birdsong, and insects buzzing, the gear setup and picking out the right lure and bait. It's a different kind of downtime, but it's nice. All he's missing is engex, but he's able to throw a line farther out than anyone else and has the capability to detect motion far greater than an average human. He still wants an engex cube.

Arcee has mixed feelings. She enjoys hunting. Patience, tracking, stealth, and the sense of accomplishment with a clean catch. She likes less the process of handling carcasses, but really hates waste anything that could have been useful. Meat, leather, tools, jewelry, and raw ingredients that could be sold or traded. Arcee just doesn't like sharing something with Airachnid's methods.

Bumblebee's a scout. People expected him to like foraging or the wilds. He prefers domesticated stock. In particular, beekeeping. To him, it represents a more equivalent partnership: he provides accessible resources and safe quarters and the bees yield honey, comb, and wax in return. If the hive don't like him or the area, then they can leave elsewhere.

Optimus is deeply fascinated by how Earth's biodiversity is so immense and how ecosystems are so diverse and complex, yet so fragile. He quietly wishes for Alpha Trion's presence because Optimus is seeing familiar similarities of Cybertronian long gone biomes: wetlands, woodlands, and reefs. The Sea of Rust once was a massive ocean of mineral-laden Energon. It has long since disappeared by the consensus of heavy, unregulated industrialization, but if Earth has the water cycle, ocean currents and belts, and complex system of thermoregulation that replenishes itself, then Cybertron had to have something similar at one point, no?

,,what is it like to be an uncommon theriotype?'' tldr; having an uncommon theriotype is a wild ride. you get to find out what being an alterhuman is like, for you, and for yourself. but, its hard to connect with other therians.

so, most of the therian community are caninekin or felinekin. that's completely fine! im not gonna diss someone for having a certain identity.

but, as a catfish and as a bumblebee therian, it's sometimes hard to find advice for my theriotypes and fellow fish/insectkin. it's not like it's all bad- i mean, there's somethng special about it. there's very little people who can tell you how your identity is "supposed" to be. you're completely free to find your own path on what alterhumanity is like, for you. maybe you might be the one to help others realize that their theriotype doesnt need to be a cat or a dog or a fox. but on the other hand? most people look at therians and think of the cats and dogs. even just saying "mammals" is too broad to describe the majority of therians. i mean, how many monkey therians do you see? they're mammals. how many pig therians do you see? how many whale therians? theres not really many people you can relate to. thank you for reading the whole thing! a reblog, comment, or like would be appreciated!

HEROES SPIRIT LINKS AS FISH IF HEROES SPIRIT WERE FISH

This is my mermay contribution. All characters belong to @heroesspirit!!!

Each Link has a different place in the world of cultural inspiration, so at least one of the fish included for each is endemic to that region. Endemic means it is native to that specific area and not found (naturally) anywhere else in the world!! It’s really cool. There are some fish that are endemic to a singular lake!!!! Big lakes, but still one singular lake!!!! Or one reach of a tributary stream!!! It’s super cool.

Anyway. FISH!!!!! Image descriptions at the very bottom! :D

IMAGE ID: Images are the names of each link and then a saltwater fish and a freshwater fish. Each fish has the common name, the common name in the native language of wherever it is found, and then the scientific name. The fish are listed below. Since I am posting this on mobile I only have an English keyboard, so I am only including the common names in the ISO Latin alphabet in the descriptions.

Eras. Saltwater: Whale shark, Rhincodon typus. Freshwater: Rock carp, Procypris rabaudi.

Legend. Saltwater: West Indian lionfish, Pterois brevipectoralis. Freshwater: Malaysian fish, Betta tussyae.

Sailor. Swallowtail fangblenny, Meiacanthus procne. Freshwater: Peacock-eye gudgeon, Tateurndina ocellicauda.

Kiri. Saltwater: Saddleback anemonefish, Giru, Amphiprion polymnus. Freshwater: Starry sturgeon, Uzun burun, Acipenser stellatus.

Four. Saltwater: Bluehead fairy wrasse, Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura. Freshwater: Pumpkinseed sunfish, Zonnebaars, Lepomis gibbosus.

Cori. Saltwater: Morid cod, Úthafsmóra, Svetovidovia lucullus. Freshwater: Bumblebee guppy, Poecilia reticulata.

Sky. Saltwater: Blotchwing flyingfish, Peshk fluturues, Rundinella, Uçan balik, Cheilopogon heterurus. Freshwater: Peruvian longfin, Aphyolebias peruensis.

SHINIES FROM CROW

I CHOSE DOOR #2

VOYEUR MOUNTAIN JACKIN' IT OVER THE GHOULETTES UNDER THE CUT

He certainly shouldn't be watching the way she straddles an equally naked Cumulus, who is stretched out on a picnic blanket amidst their sea of wildflowers and bumblebees. It's hard to tell with the sound of the water, but he thinks he hears one of them laugh when Cirrus bends to meet Cumulus in a sweet, deep kiss, hands tangling in each other's hair.

He shouldn't be here.

He was supposed to be foraging berries and wild greens for his lunch. He shouldn't be standing behind this old-growth pine tree, hidden from the summer sun in deep shadow, gazing into a clearing instead. He shouldn't be watching the way droplets of water drip from Cirrus's breasts as she wades naked out of the stream nearby, sparkling as they glide over her pale skin.

Mountain swallows hard when Cirrus's hand drifts south, sinking into the softness of Cumulus's breast. Squeezing, gently kneading, catching the nipple between two elegant fingertips and rolling it until the shorter ghoulette is wriggling. Cirrus starts a line of kisses down her jaw, down her pale throat, and Mountain palms himself through his jeans. He's chubbing up so quick, he can't help it. He's always liked to watch.

Cirrus slides down Cumulus's body and leaves a trail of shining water droplets behind. They glint in the afternoon sun, accenting Cumulus's gorgeous curves like flecks of diamond. Her breasts, her belly, her hips - the further Cirrus moves, trailing wet kisses the whole way, the more ethereal Cumulus becomes. Her white curls are spread out in a stunning halo, brilliant against the red of the blanket. Cumulus palms her own chest as Cirrus kneels back and spreads those plush thighs, and Mountain has to bite his hand to keep from groaning.

They've clearly been at this for a while, Cumulus slick and swollen between her legs. Cirrus has her open and dripping, kissing over her mound and across her thighs, and Mountain is fishing himself out of his pants before he has time to think about it. It's already wet at the tip. He really likes to watch.

Cirrus lifts her head and speaks but Mountain can't make out the words over the rush of the stream. He gives himself a slow stroke as he watches Cirrus press her fingers into the pudge of Cumulus's stomach. He wants to sink his teeth into it to hear her giggle. Cumulus smiles fondly at Cirrus in response and reaches into their picnic basket, coming back with a handful of strawberries most certainly pilfered from the greenhouse. She holds one up between two polished fingers, the red of her nails brighter than the fruit between them, and Mountain's cock throbs when Cirrus licks at Cumulus's fingers and plucks the berry away with her tongue.

A spurt of precum leaks from his tip when Cirrus dips back down and runs her fingers through Cumulus's slick folds, biting gently at her thigh. He yearns to join them, to bury his face in Cumulus until she sees fit to release him. Or until he drowns, whichever comes first. Cirrus drags her red-stained tongue over soft skin and Mountain mirrors the motion by running a finger over his twitching shaft, biting his other hand again when Cirrus's licks just above the swollen bud of her clit. She lifts her head to speak again, and Mountain is certain she's telling Cumulus she tastes sweeter than those berries.

It's torture when Cirrus puts her mouth to work, lapping at Cumulus's cunt with the flat of her tongue. Mountain huffs out a pained breath when Cumulus draws her knees up, hips rolling against Cirrus's face, hands flying to her own hair. Her moans are harsh and breathy, bits of them carried to his ears on the fragrant summer breeze. It's honey-thick and floral, but undercut with something deeper. Tinged with salt. It makes Mountain's cock kick and drool, makes his mouth water. He rests his forehead against the rough bark of his tree and starts stroking in earnest, sucking air through clenched teeth.

Cirrus flicks her skilled tongue over Cumulus's clit in lazy swirls, slipping two fingers into her with no resistance. She pumps them in and out and Mountain matches her with his own hand, smearing pre down his length. Cumulus arches off the blanket with a soft cry and Mountain thinks Cirrus must have crooked her fingers against that one really good spot. Mountain can hear her moans in his head, tightening his hand as memories of being buried deep inside the ghoulette flood his mind. So tight around him, so soft beneath his hands.

"Fuck," he gasps, rubbing just under the head. His eyes are glued to the the way Cumulus writhes in the sun, to the way her curls bounce around her head. The way Cirrus licks at her so casually, chasing her every move. Her unused hand slides over Cumulus's hip, searching the blanket blindly until it finds the squirming ghoulette's arm. Their fingers lace together so easily, so perfectly. It's the most intimate thing he can imagine, and Mountain's chest aches with want. Cumulus's other hand winds into Cirrus's damp hair and tugs.

Mountain chokes when Cirrus looks up, tongue and fingers still working their magic, and Cumulus gazes down at her with nothing but obvious love and adoration. Her silver eyes blown black, heavy lidded and unfocused. Her kiss-bruised lips slick with spit. She looks so beautifully wrecked, and Cirrus must agree. Mountain's strokes go uneven and jerky as she works with renewed vigor, curled fingers rubbing that spot and her tongue working circles around Cumulus's clit. Mountain can see her thighs shaking.

A louder moan cuts through the hum of bees and junebugs and he can't hold back any longer, huffing for breath as he brings his empty hand to cup his balls. Mountain's mouth hangs open as he watches Cumulus hold Cirrus's head still to grind against her face. He gets a few more pulls in before he's spilling onto the dirt with a tight groan. He wants to sob for how good it feels, but he can't make himself interrupt the beautiful scene playing out before him.

He stays through Cumulus's orgasm, watching how she clamps down around Cirrus's head and shudders, her softest parts shaking decadently. He wants to touch every part of her, of both of them. To be smothered in them. But this isn't about him, and he's intruded enough already. He watches Cirrus lick her fingers clean and crawl back up Cumulus's aftershock-riddled body, capturing her in a tongue-filled kiss that must have an undertone of strawberry.

Mountain shakes himself back to his senses, zipping up and wiping his hand on his jeans. He grabs his discarded foraging basket and gets back to work, head spinning and knees shaking.

In the spot where he left his mess, a shock of violets and baby's breath grows to life.

@artsy-hobbitses Here is he, the boy, the gremlin, the feral critter, I named... Cliffjumper!

If Ben and Claude decided to swap their clothes, nobody would notice the difference… until Claude starts spouting Cajun insults and charging through the enemy lines with a gun three times his size. Claude is often defined by his urge to fight, his stubbornness, his daredevil personality, and his habit of literally jumping off cliffs (giving numerous heart attacks to his teammates), hence the nickname “Cliffjumper”.

Hanley/Hot Rod: Yeah, you’re definitely related. Claude/Cliff & Ben/Bee: Cause we look like each other? Hanley: *raises an eyebrow since he saw Ben knee someone in the balls and Claude bite someone else’s nose* Sure. That.

Having grown up in an all female household, he finds it pretty normal to wear skirts (and they’re waaaaay more comfortable and practical). During his calmer moments, he likes to settle down and mend his clothes (often torn because of his running and climbing), just like his grannies taught him. People meeting him for the first time often mistake him for a girl, which he absolutely adores and he decides to see how long before they actually realize on their own; it took a whole week for the rebellion to notice and he finds it hilarious (he could simply tell them but… nah).

He’s also a very good bait.

Starscream: What the hell are you wearing. Cliffjumper, with a very frilly, glittery, neon-colored dress: It’s my ass-kicking outfit, BITCH *effectively acts as a distraction, drawing fire away from the rest of the troops*

Although he pretends to be annoyed when people mistake him for Bee, he will go feral if anyone threatens his half-brother and, over time, starts to view him as the sibling he never had.

(He also definitely encourages Bee to release his inner gremlin)

More of his story below!

Jean Claude Frugé, or simply Claude for his friends and family, was born of a Cajun mother — as for his sperm donor, he is an “holiday souvenir”, and the one thing he shares with Benjamin/Bumblebee, making them half-brothers.

When his mother, Lucienne, discovered she was pregnant, she dropped her dream studies so she could keep the baby. To this day, Claude still feels like he wasted his mother’s life, and tries to “make it up” for her, no matter how much she told him it was unnecessary.

Claude was raised between the bayou, the rice fields and the farms of Louisiana by an army of aunts, grandmothers, grandaunts, and great-grandmothers. He learned English at school and French at home. At a young age, he was already a wild child and spent his free time running through the swamp and fishing all by himself, so he could bring food to his maman. Imagine an eight-year-old absolutely caked with mud, his clothes dripping swamp water and holding out a fish that’s half his size, while grinning despite the face covered in dirt. Lucienne couldn’t be mad at him when he looked so proud of himself, and the grannies encouraged this behavior by showing him the best fishing spots.

The town folks got quickly used to the child walking barefoot through the bayou, but it didn’t stop the whispers about Lucienne’s broken dreams; she had lost the opportunity to get out of here and study in a renowned university/city, which was a pity in their eyes.

The whispers were quiet, but Claude heard them nonetheless.

He didn’t know if his penchant from fighting came from the hurt these whispers caused, or from the paternal genes, but his fists and sharp teeth ostracized him from the other children. Although he belonged in the bayou, he didn’t belong with the people living here. At least he had his family and their gentle love.

But sometimes love wasn’t enough.

Thus he began to leave more and more frequently, going deeper in the bayou, learning how to avoid quicksands and recognize alligators in the water, spending time with the birds and climbing trees until he was so high he felt he could touch the sky.

Sometimes, he wondered if his family’s life would have been easier in the city; he thought he would probably be less lonely with a nuclear, intact family, and he cursed his faceless sperm donor for “running away”. The spite prompted him to look for any information about his progenitor.

He was surprised to discover his progenitor had made a family in one of the big cities, and quite disgusted he was a cop. He was unable to know how to feel about the existence of a brother, and decided to drop the research.

He didn’t want to shatter the peace of this family; they seemed happy like that.

He had never been so wrong in his entire life.

As time passed and unrest began to grow through the United States, the Frugé family took on an activist side; the house became a safe haven for protesters who needed to hide from the police, and the older women wrote down their testimonies, which they then hid in the walls.

They told Claude how powerful memories could be.

When the Clampdown started and more people hit the road, Claude used his knowledge of the bayou to guide refugees through and to Mexico, stopping at his house so the Frugé women could feed and clothe the Cold Constructs, Beast Men and other refugees. More testimonies filled the walls.

One night, as he was guiding three Cold Constructs who had fled from Texas, they made a remark about his uncanny resemblance with one of their previous helpers. He would have brushed the words aside were it not for them mentioning the other one’s name.

His half-brother’s name was the last thing he expected to hear.

Knowing he was risking his life for a stranger, he nonetheless decided to look for Benjamin/Bumblebee, with whom he shared a fight. At only 19, he joined the rebellion created by Omar Parvez (Optimus Prime), Jace Zayden (Jazz) and Preston Wan (Prowl); while it was a good outlet for his chaotic energy and thirst for danger, his true reason was still Bumblebee, but he didn’t dare approach him, fearing the anger shimmering within him would scare Ben away, like it has scared so many children before.

But at some point he had to stop running away.

Time only will tell whether or not the revelation of the lineage between Bumblebee and Cliffjumper will bring pain, as both boys have their demons and misconceptions about each other, but there is no denying a tentative bond is starting to grow.

Living Woods

Soft and white and covered in peace  Shining brown and wild-branched  Full of life and leaves of green Burning yellow like fire 

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you  And I feel all the infinite ways you love me too You welcome me into your arms like a mother You plunge right into my soul like a lover You heal me, you help me, when I am broken  I hear your words though they are not spoken  You guide me through this writhing life You cut through illusion with your stone knife You give me comfort, you give me peace You give me the strength to hold every piece I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you  And I feel all the infinite ways you love me too

Trees like beacons, reach to the sky They answer each time I ask them why Plants like spirits glowing with life They give me friendship when loneliness is rife  The birds, the squirrels, the deer, moose, coyotes The voles, the porcupines, the bears and the bumblebees The fish, the snakes, the salamanders and frogs The moss, the lichen, that cover trunks and logs  The river, of course, flowing strong-souled The streams that rush so free and so cold  The life that dances and twirls in sweet harmony They are the treasures I’ll always hold in my memory  I cannot put into words how you made me into me I cannot put into pictures all that you made me see

[aquariuminfobureau]

The genus Brachygobius is a nexus of species in the true goby clade, that are collectively known as bumblebee fishes or bumblebee gobies, in account of their colours and patterning. Often they are seen in dealers aquariums, because they are petite and beautifully colored. Yet much confusion exists as to which exact species is being traded, and what water conditions they might benefit most from, or are natural to the wild gobies. Particularly, the question of proper salinity, with confusion and dubious, repeated 'facts' as to their wild habitats.

B. doriae, B. nunus, and B. xanthozonus in particular, are often confused, and indeed, there is confusion even among ichthyologists, as to which of the Brachygobius species an individual bumblebee fish, or Its population, might belong to. The species of Brachygobius are, in nature, partially separated by environmental niche partitioning, with some species present in wild freshwaters. However, the Brachygobius sp. most usually encountered in the aquarium trade, are in fact from brackish waters.

For instance, B. doriae is sympathetic with Rhizophora mangroves, as well as fish like mudskippers, siganids, and archerfishes, in the muddy lower (and thus tidal) reaches of tropical Asian rivers. Thus this species, chosen as an example, would appreciate a quite higher brackish salinity, than books might suggest. But also, it's presence overlaps with that of the palm, Nypa, which is not as salt tolerant as is Rhizophora, so it would be wrong to reckon B. course as a marine fish.

Smaller Brachygobius species, such as B nunus, might grow to around 1 inch or 2.5 centimetres long. Larger congeneric species of bumblebee fishes, can grow to about 4 centimeters, or over 1 and a 1/2 inches. The small size of these beauties has often appealed to those seeking oddballs or brackish fishes, but finding themself with limited space. Although the male gobies can be territorial to one another, its possible and imperative to house members of these species, in a group of about six or more fishes. Single fishes are too easily stressed, it seems. A combination of factors makes these fish unsuitable for a typical community tank, although with careful thought, they can share with other benign brackish fishes.

Its also worth noting that these gobies appreciate it demand warm end tropical temperatures, higher than the 24 degrees centigrade standard, that is probably the norm for tropical tanks. Perhaps a temperature between 25 and 28 degrees centigrade would be ideal for their aquarium. The wild gobies show a positive association, with a muddy substrate. Again contrary to information in books, these gobies do not need crystal clear water, as they evolved in conditions of turbidity. Their presence in mangrove habitat, means that non-toxic leaf litter and wood, are suitable choices for the aquascape also. Wood could be arranged to imitate the appearance of mangrove roots.

Brachygobius sp. aren't quite as finnicky about eating, as some aquarium literature might lead you to believe. These gobies will, at least if acclimatised, take to defrosted foods, and do not require regular feedings, of love invertebrate prey. Some of them even adjust to nipping proprietary flake foods, although it must be cautioned, most of them will not accept manufactured substitute diets. Given that misinformation about feeding this genus, has daunted many aquarists from attempting bumblebee fishes in the aquarium, it isn't really a basis for most fishkeepers to fret unduly about. Misunderstood fishes that are not eating, are presumably stressed in some way.

World Bee Day: 10 Surprising Facts About Bees

Graphic: Adobe/Muhammad

To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face, and their contribution to sustainable development, the United Nations (UN) designated May 20 as World Bee Day in 2017. With the theme “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production,” World Bee Day 2023 calls for global action to support pollinator-friendly agricultural production and highlights the importance of protecting bees and other pollinators.

According to the UN, present bee species extinction rates are 100 to 1,000 times higher than normal due to human impacts. Close to 35% of invertebrate pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, and about 17% of vertebrate pollinators, such as bats, face extinction globally.

Yet pollination is a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops, and 35% of global agricultural land. If this trend continues, crops such as fruits, nuts, and many vegetables will be substituted increasingly by staple crops like rice, corn, and potatoes. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to conserving biodiversity.

New Bee Book: 10 Facts

To help inspire empathy for bees, here’s more about them. In the recently published, What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees, pollination ecologist Stephen Buchmann brings readers into the mysterious, fascinating minds of bees and introduces the scientists and researchers uncovering their alien ways of seeing the world. Here are some surprising facts about the inner world of bees from Buchmann:

Although bee brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans’ 100 billion—they have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, solve problems, communicate, and remember.Global bee diversity is about the same as the number of fish species. There are 21,000 species in the world, with roughly 3,500 species from the continental US alone.Most bees in the world are actually ground-nesting and solitary, with no queen or workers. Only about 10% of the world’s bees are social, including honeybees and bumblebees.Bees are sentient, self-aware, can likely feel pain, and may have a simple form of consciousness.Despite being the size of a poppy seed, a honeybee’s brain is quite complex. It has almost one million neurons and up to a billion synaptic connections.Bee eyes detect ultraviolet light. They can see hidden UV nectar guide patterns that are invisible to humans. Bees have been trained how to use a string as a tool, pulling the string to access a sugar reward under a clear plastic cover.Far more than mindless drones, bees may actually play. In a laboratory, bumblebees rolled small wooden balls around without rewards.Bees can not only count to four, but they can also remember the shapes, scents, and colors of flowers for up to three days.130 million years ago, bees evolved from carnivorous wasps during the early Cretaceous period. These first ones were tiny, just a few millimeters long, matching the size of the earliest flower.
