I’ve seen jokes about the absurdity of Liu Qingge and Bai Zhan, the chaotic, dirty, monster destroying, fighters peak, wearing white robes, so I’d like to present a theory:
Laundry is punishment for not being good enough to dodge.
Part of being a good fighter is bodily awareness. You need to know where you are in space/in relation to your opponent at all times. You need to keep your stance and movement well controlled to not leave any gaps in your defenses.
Having mud on your hem means you weren’t aware of yourself or of your environment
Having tears means you didn’t dodge fast enough.
Having blood stains either means you failed to evade or that you didn’t have the good sense not to stand the blood spray as you behead a monster.
Washing out all the stains and mending their robes is the punishment, the natural consequences of these failures.
If they don’t scrub diligently enough, all their peak mates will see the marks of their failure in combat every day.
Stonefish are the most venomous fish known; stings can be fatal to humans. Most stonefish stings occur as a result of stepping on the creature which forces venom into the foot, while it is less common for the fish to sting when it is picked up. Stonefish stings can occur on the beach, not just in the water, since stonefish can survive out of the water for up to 24 hours. They are not easily seen as they look similar to rocks or coral.
I’m so excited to share these little guys, especially after teasing at a pair of saltwater fish earrings coming to the shop. I remember seeing these guys in an aquarium for the first time and almost crying my eyes out because of how cool they were lol.
I don't agree with the meta/reading that Shen Yuan is transphobic, but if he were, literally the only thing it would take to make him normal again would be for Binghe to come out as trans.
The Oarfish is the longest bony fish alive, growing up to 56ft in length. Their rarity and large size, along with occasional beachings of oarfish after storms, and their habit of lingering at the surface when sick or dying, make oarfish a probable source of many sea serpent tales.
[repost because etsy made my shop inactive suddenly and now it’s back??]
it’s here! it’s finally here!!
MY ETSY SHOP IS LIVE!
thank you all so so much for all of the support! I’m so baffled by all of the support and enthusiasm for all of my fishy and ocean-related works, but am so thankful nonetheless!!
etsy had issues with my shop due to identity verification stuff involving my government ID, so in case there’s any more issues with the shop, I will give updates!
