new day, new post! the Harp Spore Monstar, Voraspora, creeps in!

Description:

"Their only way of eating is by touching something with their spongy knobs, which breaks down any organic matter. They reproduce by breaking off their knobs, which turn into a wandering ball of spores. Scientists said that Voraspora need to gain a host in order to travel, but this has been disproven many times through observations."

Voraspora's name is a feminized version of the words VORE and SPORE, changing the ending -e into -a. 'Vore' and 'spore' both factor into the two major inspirations for this Monstar:

One is the harp sponge, which is a species of deep-sea sponge discovered in 2012 off the coast of California. What makes them interesting is not just their shape, which resembles a harp, but that they are carnivorous! They are not the only type of carnivorous sea sponge either, feeding using velcro-like hooks to catch larger prey like crustaceans. And;

the cordyceps fungi, which is a parasitic fungi that inspired the more fungal aspects of Voraspora's concept. Cordyceps is an endoparasitoid, which means they mainly parasitize insects and other arthropods. The cordyceps fungi is mentioned most prominently in the video game franchise The Last of Us.

top 10 spooky and scary fish

happy fishy-ween everyone! these are 10 of the spookiest fish (in my opinion) although i love all fish equally so please dont take this too seriously!

10. Angler fish

A classic. Probably the first thing most people think of when you mention spooky fish. Wonderfully girlboss.

9. Gluper eel/pelican eel

look at this guy! he's so happy and smiley :))) It's lower jaw is roughly a quater of it's body length!

8. Barreleye fish

This guy is truly no thoughts head empty, my idol. Scientists speculate that it's fins are well adapted for avoiding the stinging tentacles of siphonophores.

7. the harp sponge

you might say, "eddie, why the fuck is a sponge on this list! its a sponge how the hell is it spooky?" WELL this guy is carnivorous! Sponges usually eat bacteria and other floaty things but this guy eats crustaceans of all things. Imagine you're a tiny crab and you get eaten by this!! i'd be terrified!

6. Goblin shark

this guy is also a classic spooky fish in my opinion. Love this guy! Its long nose has electrical receptors which detect the electric currents of its prey

5. Snail fish

i've included this one entirely out of pity. look at him and pretend to shake in terror so you dont upset him.

4. crown of thorns starfish

Crown of thorns starfish eat coral and phtoplankton. phytoplankton aren't common in coral reefs usually, however their numbers increase due to increasing pollutants and fertiliser run off. These starfish can cause devastation on coral reefs and this is only increasing. i'd say ecosystem destruction is pretty damn scary.

3. candiru

candiru or vampire fish are the fleas and mosquitos of the fish world. They bury themselves in the fishs' gills and use little barbs to stay in.

while i was researching this fish i found a singular story of this guy swimming up a man's ureathra in 1997 however this was subject to controversy.

2. cone snail

those who have watched the octonauts will be familiar with this guy. The cone snail is a predatory snail that use a harpoon-like projectile to subdue their prey. Should also point out that this is venomous as well. The octonauts episode that introduced this guy made baby eddie genuinely terrified. Also, some of the larger species of cone snail eat fish, and their venom can be fatal to humans.

1. Magnapinna squid

i saved this guy for first spot because i love him so much <3 i think he deserves top spot on this list. So far we have only discovered juvinille samples and there have been fewer than 15 sightings. We know basically nothing about them including what their funky tentacles are for (although it is suspected they are related to feeding)

Thank you for reading this far! hope you enjoyed learning about horrors beyond your comprehension, enjoy your spooky day

Ultra’s Ramblings; The Deal with Glimmet and Glimmora

Are ya ready, kids?

Out of all the Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet that I love, a few do come to mind; Skeledirge, Tinkaton, Lokix, Clodsire, etc. However, there are a couple of these new ‘Mons that I simply obsess over, both being on the same level as such past favorites like Pincurchin. Who are they, you may ask? Well…

That’s right…I’m in love with the funny crystal flower-sponges

Coming in at #969 and #970 respectively on the National Pokedex, Glimmet and Glimmora are some of the most alien-looking of all Pokemon, which is why I love them to smithereens. The main goal of this post is to break down not only their design origins and inspirations, but also why I love them so much, and to the point of the whole line now being some of my favorite Pokemon in the entire franchise.

Imagine if you saw someone with one of these as a pet. Just walking their crystal flower monster down the street for a walk. That’d make one hell of a Sunday morning, I tell ya much

Starting off with in-game lore, both Glimmet and Glimmora are classified as the “Ore Pokemon''. While plenty of Glimmets are able to be found on the surface of Paldea, Area Zero is the only place in the entire region to find wild Glimmora. The main diet of Glimmet and Glimmora are minerals that they get from sticking themselves into the walls of caves. While Glimmet is able to float in place, Glimmora does so by moving, closing, and adjusting its six, glossy petals. Glimmet’s main line of defense is scattering poisonous powder from its petals, while Glimmora is able to fire beams of energy with not only its own petals, but also its glassy, cone-shaped face. Despite how their bodies resemble the Terastal phenomenon, there is currently no leading evidence to suggest that the line has anything to do with it.

Judging by the lore presented here, the Glimet line seems to be going into a role not unlike Carbink. Maybe they’re related to the unknown Pokemon at the very bottom of Area Zero, similar to how Carbink is to Diancie. We’ll just have to wait and see if the inevitable DLC covers that.

(Credit to u/sdrey on Reddit)

Now getting into the meat and potatoes of all of this, Glimmet and Glimmora have alot of inspirations with their design, maybe even more than first thought. As the picture above shows, not only are these Pokemon based on plants like the deadly nightshade and Passiflora caerulea, they’re also based on a toxic mineral known as Chalcanthte (Or simply copper(II) sulfate). Not only does the former explain the flowery shape of these Pokemon, the nightshade does help with the Poison type, as it’s poisonous itself. The relation to copper sulfate that these Pokemon share is how the mineral is not only blue, it’s also very toxic. These blue crystals are absolutely bad to be around, with it even leaving debris that is very dangerous to be around. That alone sounds very similar to the Glimmet line’s signature ability; Toxic Debris. If one of these Pokemon gets hit, they’ll leave out Toxic Spikes, making them threatening lead Pokemon to face in battle (Which is something that Geeta apparently never thought of when using her Glimmora).

Now, we’ve now covered the 2 main things that make Glimmet and Glimmora….well, Glimmet and Glimmora. However, what if I told you that wasn’t the end of it. Have you ever thought that these two weirdos kinda feel like they’d fit in within the deep sea? As it turns out, there’s a very, very good reason for that…

GlimmBob FlowerPants

That’s right! We’re finally at our first-ever sponge Pokemon! And it’s not even the reef sponges that so many people are familiar with. The Glimmet line is based on various deep-sea sponges belonging to the Cladorhizidae family. Unlike their more spongy-looking relatives in surface waters, these sponges take on more alien-looking shapes and lifestyles, with many of them even being active predators! Both the harp sponge and ping-pong sponge, two species that many deep-sea enthusiasts (Such as myself) are very familiar towards, come to mind when discussing this family, and many species even look like strange, ethereal, undersea flowers, just like Glimmet and Glimmora!

The Pokemon’s conical faces even look like they could be from a deep-sea environment, with Area Zero basically being a terrestrial counterpart to that. If I can be frank here, the faces are the biggest reason why I love these two. They just carry that strange, vague, alienness that few other Pokemon have, like the Ultra Beasts. And get this; sponges usually defend themselves with mineralized spicules made up of the same silica that sponges are made of. That drives home the Toxic Debris ability even more!

This is Pathocary. He’s my son, and I’m very proud of him

At the end of the day, Glimmora has taken the spot of my personal favorite Pocket Monster, an honor usually aimed towards the likes of Pincurchin and such. As much as I am a fan of Bogleech, I feel like these guys are to me as Trubbish and Garbodor are to him (And despite him not having to get around to these guys in his reviews yet, he’s said that he’s in love with Glimmora) As much as Geeta’s team sucked, I honestly hope that its inclusion in said team is what kick starts Glimmora’s rise to fame, alongside other Gen 9 ‘Mon like Tinkaton, Clodsire, and Maushold. If there was a spot for a Pokemon this alien to ride alongside the big boys, the funny crystal-flower-sponge things have a decent spot of earning that title.

[just-another-linguist]

A lot of people are a little bit confused and pissed because of russingon being such a popular ship and how much content there is of them and as a russingon shipper I totally understand that and I get that that can be annoying towards people who do not ship them. However, I still want you guys to understand why there are so many people shipping it, because there are genuine reasons. First of all, a ship cannot get popular out of nowwhere. There has to be some kind of connection towards canon, or else it wouldn't get shipped so much.

The reason for so many people shipping russingon is the (very subtle) queer subtext. And I know a few people would probably argue me on this, but i am queer and I am partly experienced in this matter. So. Well not much but i've been injesting alot of homoerotic (and not homoerotic) politics and queer media into my brain. Like, A LOT.

YES, russingon CAN be read as queer subtext and YES, they CAN be gay. "Can" because of how you interpret it. You could read it as deep platonic friendship love and be valid, but you could also read it as romantic love and still be valid.

Now, you're probably thinking "well what do you mean with queer subtext you trans gayboy?". Let me make a scenerio for you.

Imagine there exists this ginger maiden called Nelyamiriel. Her father and her siblings go on this little cruise across the ocean. They arrive on this silly little shore called losgar. Suddenly, she asks her father when they're gonna send the ships back so this cryptid dude called Fingon, Nolofinwes son, some random guy you've heard like one time before, can cross the ocean safely. You stare at the page, utterly confused, asking yourself why she's being so specific. What does her madman of a father do? He cackles and talks like a sick man. What does she do? She does not burn the ships and is the ONLY one of her siblings not doing what her father is doing. This is where you probably already get suspicious. I would not get suspicious. You know why? Because i'm queer, i believe girls and boys can be friends without sexual tension and i'm setting a straight scenario in your mind so straight people would try to understand what i'm trying to say here.

You know what happens then? She gets kidnapped by this evil god as the only survivor and spends thirty years getting tormented there. Meanwhile, the cryptid guy mentioned before and his family arrive at the shores of middle earth. What is the first thing (well not exactly the first thing, but close) the cryptid guy does when he arrives there? He randomly leaves without telling a single fucking soul he's leaving and where he is going without a single other person following him with only a harp and maybe a sword. Where is he going? He's going to rescue the fair ginger maiden princess/queen out of the grasp of the evil god, which is a nearly impossable, incredibly difficult and dangerous task to do.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.

One method of queer subtext is genderswap. Make one of them a girl, do they still seem like they're only friends in the story or is it now obvious the story is trying to tell you something?

And this is not the only occasion where you can read Maedhros and Fingon as queer subtext. Fingon not only rescued him one time, but two times (Glaurung). In some canons (one?) he slayed at Alqualonde just because of Maedhros and dragged his whole family along with him. Then, again, the resemblance with Achilles and Patroclus and with Luthien and Beren. The fact that everything went downhill for Maedhros after Fingon died, like all his hope (SPOILER ALARM! FINGON WAS HIS HOPE!) was drenched out of him like water out of a sponge (*cough* Achilles *cough*). Again, this can all be read as platonic love, but since when has anyone ever seen Rapunzel and the guy who rescued her i forgot his name as platonic besties? (Okay that was a bad example but you know what mean)

Anyway wasn't trying to attack anyone here i was just trying to explain why so many people ship russingon (It can be read as queer subtext. Thats why) and seriously its like 1 am in my country what am i doing

Also sorry for bad grammar if there is any. im german. fuck me (Blitzo quote. I dont want you to fuck me)

The harp sponge (Chondrocladia lyra) is not like the other girls. Most sponges are suspension feeders, meaning they filter bacteria and microorganisms out of the water with their aquiferous system. This marvelous animal however, is a predator. The branches of the sponge are lined with small barbs that snare passing crustaceans, which are then covered with a digestive membrane. This unusual feeding strategy is likely due to the harp sponges' habitat, soft abyssal sediment off the coast of northern California, USA. Due to the low productivity in these areas it is more energy efficient to act as a set net rather than a filter.

Today is MBARI's 36th anniversary! To celebrate, we are sharing the story of MBARI's R/V Western Flyer.

David Packard believed that addressing the challenges of ocean exploration required a new type of research institute—one independent in spirit and collaborative by design. He founded MBARI on the core principle of scientists, engineers, and marine operations working in equal partnership to develop innovative marine technology. The research vessel Western Flyer embodied MBARI’s willingness to think big, be bold, and invest in long-term outcomes.

Constructed in 1996 with a unique twin hull design, the 117-foot SWATH vessel represented David Packard’s vision of developing innovative new platforms to better access and explore the ocean. SWATH, which stands for small waterplane area twin hull, means the ship is much more stable than more common monohulled vessels. This stability, combined with a specially constructed moonpool at the center of the vessel, made the ship an ideal platform to deploy, operate, and recover remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). For much of its time at MBARI the Western Flyer worked together with the Doc Ricketts, MBARI’s ROV capable of exploring to depths of 4,000 meters (2.5 miles).

The Western Flyer was instrumental to many of MBARI’s achievements: from studying ecosystems that could give insights into the impacts of climate change on the ocean, to identifying more than 200 new species—including a crown jelly, a harp sponge, and an incredible bone-eating worm named Osedax westernflyer in honor of the ship itself. During its quarter-century at MBARI, the Western Flyer also traveled to conduct research beyond its home base of Monterey Bay, venturing northwards to sites such as the Pacific Northwest, and southwards to places like Hawaii and Mexico’s Gulf of California.

After 25 years of serving as MBARI’s flagship research vessel, the Western Flyer has begun a new chapter in education. MBARI granted the ship to the University of South Florida, which hosts the Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO), for use as a sailing classroom. FIO will provide students with a unique mix of at-sea and on-shore training and mentoring to build ocean science, engineering, and maritime trade skills. The new program will focus on engaging students from historically black colleges and universities, minority-serving institutions, and tribal colleges, providing an opportunity for students of diverse backgrounds and experiences to learn more about careers in ocean science, engineering, and marine operations. MBARI wishes the Western Flyer well in this next stage of its life, as it continues to foster the spirit of exploration in future generations of the ocean STEM community. Learn more on our website.

[kanafinwe-makalaure]

Another favourite headcanon of mine is that Maglor and Gandalf are old pals. Not Years of The Trees old, but I like to think they probably met in the early third age.

Gandalf, of course, knew who this strange, wandering elf was when he first saw him at a secluded spot at the shore, and curiosity compelled him to take a closer look. At first, he felt only pity and tried to go and approach the sad creature, but Maglor had remained surprisingly in tune with the Music, and sensed him, and bolted, abandoning his little fire as well as the bits of food he had laid out for himself, a bit of old bread, a bruised apple, two small fish he had caught that he had hung over the fire. Gandalf, then, felt very sorry; not even the evilest soul in the world would have deserved this. He left his own bag of rations at the little camp - not that he needed to eat, but it was pleasant - with a little note that said: "I did not mean to startle you. I apologise. Please accept this as compensation."

Two days later, when Gandalf passed that same spot again, the bag was gone, and he could only hope it had found its way to its recipient.

The second time he saw Maglor, he remained far away, and only listened to his voice in the wind. Maglor was not putting any Power behind it, only singing to himself, of brothers long lost, sons stolen, battles lost, a home to which he would never return. Certainly, loneliness had drenched this elf's entire being; no wonder he was hiding. He was ashamed, and afraid, but definitely not (no longer?) foul and corrupted.

He left a good cloak where he had heard the voice, and a note: "Keep yourself warm, my friend; it is easier on the voice."

The third time Gandalf saw Maglor (pleased as he took note of the fact the elf was wearing the cloak), he went to him, slowly, and not disguising his presence. Maglor let him approach, and eyed him warily, clutching his tattered, wooden lap harp to his chest.

Gandalf tipped his hat in greeting and began to lay out supper between them on a large, clean handkerchief; cheese and sausages, sweet pears and tomatoes, berries, pies and cakes. The elf glanced at the meal beside him, his cheeks sunken and his eyes betraying his hunger.

"Please," Gandalf said, "help yourself. There is more than enough."

"Thank you," the Elf mumbled. When he spoke, his voice sounded raspy, as if he had not used it at all in an Age. "But I do not deserve your kindnesses."

Gandalf laughed. "Yet I've never met anyone who has needed them more than you."

"I thank you," Maglor rasped, "for your past gifts, truly. But now that you are here to be refused, I must tell you - I cannot accept this."

Gandalf chuckled. "Well, then I promise this time, I am acting purely out of selfishness. I simply want someone to share a meal with, and you happened to be here. Come, eat; or do you not believe my food is good?"

Maglor stole another glance at the food, his jaw working.

"Just a bite," Gandalf coaxed.

"Just a bite," Maglor conceded.

Gandalf handed him a piece of good, fresh bread with cheese, and the Elf took it with pointed fingers into his bandaged hands, almost shaking as he did his best to eat slowly and properly.

Throughout the meal, he was coerced into trying more and more, and grandually, he began to relax. Gandalf stayed long into the night; they sat by the fire, trading old stories, and Maglor offered all he had in return for the meal - a song.

From that day onwards, they were friends. Maglor had much to tell whenever they met - news, old stories, insights and wisdom, sometimes even utter nonsense that he shared with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. Gandalf ensured he stayed warm and fed and sometimes he let slip one or the other half-sentece about Elrond Halfelven. Maglor seemed to absorb those like a sponge; but he never told him how often Elrond rode out looking for him, and he never told Elrond that he had found him; he knew Maglor was not ready for that, not yet.

He watched the Elf get better, slowly. Maglor started taking better care of himself, mended his clothes and boots, combed and braided his hair, made jewellery out of wooden beads and seashells and sold it for food.

An Age later, as soon as their ship to Valinor had left the havens, he joined his friend Elrond at the railing; Elrond had been tense, understandably so, but also strangely jumpy.

"Have you told Lady Galadriel about him?"

"I know not what you mean," Elrond replied, making the same face as a hobbit-child that had broken a plate and was trying to cover up his mishap.

Gandalf only gave him a knowing smile.

“How did you know?” Elrond conceded.

“I know now,” Gandalf replied with a wink.

Under deck, Lady Galadriel almost stumbled over a small wooden flute, and went to look for its owner.

Sick Warden Ingo Headcanons

[Found this while sifting through some of my old writing. Seems a bit appropriate at the moment. Enjoy.]

Being the warden in an area so cold and treacherous has turned this man's immune system into a brick wall. He doesn't get sick often, but when he does, it's a terrible terrible day.

Would sooner collapse than admit he is sick and unfit for duty. He is a Warden and he has responsibilities that must be upheld. He cannot be sick. He'll be damned if he's going to give Melli anything else to harp on him about.

A bit of a terrible patient. He supposed to be taking care of you. He's fine. He doesn't need you to feed him and care for him even though his body is a weak wobbly mess. What if you get sick? He'd be absolutely beside himself.

Calms down during a sponge bath. He likes that kind of attention. A cool rag against his hot skin makes him hum in contentment. Will probably try to get handsy but fail from weak limbs. He's sick, not dead.

Will take medicine without a fuss. Doesn't matter how terrible it tastes, he will kick it back like it's nothing. Anything to get back to his normal routine. Hates needles however. Will bargain anything he has against having a needle going into his body. He has had be restrained before.

On that same note, he is a bit resistant to sleepy medicine. It's makes him loopy rather than put him to sleep. He'll probably babble sweet confessions of love at you with a dopey grin on his face.

Embarrassed by losing his lunch or other such accidents. Could be knocking on death's door and would still apologize profusely for such things. Constantly needs reminding that it's okay to be human sometimes.

Sneezes like an explosion. You've almost jumped out of your skin more than once when he sneezes. You think it's terrifying. He thinks it's hilarious. He has had to be rescued from choking on his own laughter.

Appreciates everything you do for him even if he's a bit grumpy. Once he's well, he showers you in gratitude and affection. Now that his limbs work, he might get handsy again. He has a bit of energy to work out now.
