#the whales are so happy

[luffypeach]

i remember the day this chapter came out like it was yersterday. fishman island arc just ended, we heard the name joyboy for the first time through robin reading the poneglyph, everyone was so excited to finally see the strawhats enter the new world, and through all of that excitement there was a tinge of fear for what was gonna happen to them after the recent revelations regarding poseidon, the sea kings, noah's arc, a certain promise.. there was something mysterious and serious about all of these new pieces of information that we got.. and then suddenly brook starts playing to lighten up the mood, the whales are swimming with them, and just like magic this moment turned into pure sweetness

#now we know so much more and yet we know NOTHING #luffy will carry out joyboy's will #the whales are so happy #the dawn of the world #joy boy #one piece #op #luffy #straw hat pirates #straw hat crew #one piece strawhats #soul king brook #brook #binks sake #bink's sake #fisman island #punk hazard #new world #one piece new world

Hi, This is sooo so very cool, I’m in the middle of my final exams right now and every so often I forget why I love biology, and chemistry and then I think dammit I should have just picked languages as my high level courses. But whenever I see your blog, I am reminded of why I want to study biochemistry. It’s just so insanely cool. Anyways, you don’t have to answer, but I just wanted to let you know. Many thanks!!!!

FOLK OF THE GREY WAVES.

blue lock ! mermaid au featuring : alexis ness , michael kaiser , kurona ranze x gn! reader

warning(s) : kaiser tries to kill you once purposefully and once accidentally ( what’s new ) , biting , dead fish rip , lmk if there are more !

a/n : can you tell i was an ocean loving child

alexis ness !

prolly a dolphin mercreature … you know how the media portrays dolphins to be cute little angels but actually they are wild. yea

he has a curious nature as a dolphin, but also, as we know, incredibly intelligent

he can’t speak too much, but communicates with little thrills and chirps <3

you learn his name after he draws it out onto the sand, he really likes how you say his name !!

alexis also likes to ‘study’ you, as you say, and he is extremely fond of wrapping his tail around your legs — he doesn’t have them, after all, so he’s really curious on how they work !

he always leaves some gifts for you by rocks for you, like shells and clams with pearls in them <3 sometimes he finds some weird human contraption that was dropped into the sea and brings them to you as well

you bring your own gifts for him too ! he’s quite fond of flowers; especially lavenders, the sweet smell really appeals to him. he’s kinda sad that he can’t bring them underwater though :(

a regular bottlenose dolphin is about 2-4 m ( around 6.7 - 13.1 feet ) in length, so he’s quite big — bigger than you at least.

despite his large size, he’s very gentle with you, brushing his face over your palms and examining your legs with apt fascination. his fingers are nearly floating above your skin, because you’re so small compared to him that he really doesn’t wanna hurt you (*⁰▿⁰*)

he’s always mimicking you smiling. it’s his favourite expression !! it gets a little unsettling sometimes because you can tell that something has angered him but he’s still like :)

and then suddenly some people who have bothered you have develop a fear of the sea and refuse to go near it and you hm

splashes water on you to express his displeasure. and then he nudges you down when you try to tackle him as revenge … and somehow he is surprised you went down so easily ??? like huh have you not seen the size difference

overall really cute 10/10

michael kaiser !

if dolphins are bad this guy is an orca. the worse subspecies of dolphin fr they r such menaces ( but also my favourite ocean species LAWL they r too cute )

probably tried to kill you the first time y’all met ??

orca LOVE to play around with their prey. he definitely tried to flick you into the air but then decided that he was quite fond of you and now you’re his human. like um .ok ?????

really likes shiny things ! tinkers around with the bracelets and rings you wear, it’s cute how his pupils dilate a little when a glass bead reflects against the sunlight just right

he would really like for you to swim with him, but the sea is horrendously cold during the winter …

he doesn’t really understand that concept, so he tried tugging you into the water once, and you could barely submerge half your body you froze up and had to get out :(

kaiser refused to let you go afterwards for a long time, wrapping his arms and tail around you, a grumbling sound from his throat and warm breath against your neck <3

his fins twitching and his huge tail slamming on the deck nervously as he massages your arms to get the blood flowing again

he can’t let his favourite human die too fast yknow :( but the asshole attitude returns after he knows you’re fine. mf

he brings you his catches; huge fish, turtles, sometimes even smaller dolphin species as ? gifts ?? and lowkey gets offended when you explain how you can’t haul all those back to your house

again — he is huge. male killer whales are about 6 - 8 m ( 19.6 - 26.3 ft ) in length !! sits you on his lap as he marvels at how tiny you are compared to him

after thorough observation, he mlems at you face and you can’t tell if the grin he sports is him telling you that you’re going to be his next meal or something else

really likes it when you trace the patterns on his tail <3 he hides his face in his arms so you can’t see his expression but his tail is thrashing really wildly !!

possibly a 10 when he’s not trying to kill you

kurona ranze (黒名 蘭世) !

do i even need to say it ??? shark boy <3 i’d say hes a lemon shark mercreature !! omg i love lemon sharks they r the cutest

just putting it out here that lemon sharks are possessive of their humans and get jealous when they give other sharks too much attention LOL

kurona wraps his tail around you when he wants your attention and just in general when you’re near him !!

like ness, he is really curious of your legs. tried biting them once or twice — it doesnt hurt, but the occasional bite marks on your calves and thighs are hard to explain to your friends

his teeth are really cute to look at tho !! very spiky, and he grabs your hand so you can feel the groves of his triangular teeth and his tongue licking at your finger-pads

really likes swimming with you — you don’t even have to tread water cause he’ll just hold you by the waist and swim like that !! strong boy

kurona knows a lot about the ocean (since he practically lives in it ..), he brings you to see tiny glowing jellyfish at night and little bioluminescence plankton in underwater caves !! he gets really happy when he sees you excited over them

his eyes dilate … like a lot. they get huge when he sees you cause he loves you <3

really enjoys getting pets ! he’s not too expressive but you can always hear some gentle purring when you run your fingers through his hair

brings you small coral and pearls as gifts <3 sometimes he feels mischievous and just spits out some kind of fish at your feet just to scare you _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): wtf kurona !!

loves laying his head on your lap to hear you muse about the stars and constellations at night <3

deadass tries to lean his near 3 m ( 11 ft ) self on you like . hello

really likes stars a lot, his tail was practically wagging when you gave him a bracelet strung of star-shaped beads !!

he brought you a really pretty starfish afterwards as thanks

kurona automatically starts licking at your wounds if you have any, and he’s really careful not to get saltwater on them

doesnt like it when you’re hurt in any form :(

10/10 sea puppy bf

#whale weekly #moby dick #ishmael #I have so many feelings about this start #but this is the most confusing one #maybe I missed this lesson in catechism #or maybe the Catholics are just slightly more invested in capitalism than everyone else #with their castles and treasures and whatnot #anyway happy dick kick off day!

[ID: A digital drawing of Ishmael sitting on the beach and writing/drawing in a notebook. The top left of the image has handwritten text that reads “Moby Dick: or, the Webcomic // 4 years.” More detailed ID in alt text.]

It’s Moby Dick: or, the Webcomic’s 4th birthday today! So so delighted and excited to have made it this far, and for everything still to come.

Just about a week ago, (about when I thought I would), I finally finished the thumbnails for ch3! It’s gonna be a long one, but I’m so so excited for it. Can’t wait for y’all to meet one of my favorite characters. Can’t wait for the juicy drama. Can’t wait for y’all to see an actual proper whale hunt! And more shenanigans, nautical nonsense, queer delight, and other such miscellaneous happenings.

We’re still shooting for / on track for an initial start date of sometime this summer, and I will absolutely update with a more specific start date as soon as I have a better idea of that, but yeah! Chapter 3 pages are properly underway!

extremely excited for chapter 3, and the rest of this story. thanks so much to everyone for reading 💖💖🐋🐋

[orowyrm]

finally decided how the “whales” in whalefall are gonna look. giant space-dwelling megafauna of unknown origin, their ‘skin’ is a translucent, jelly-like membrane, allowing them to absorb the interstellar radiation they subsist on directly through the skin, and allowing their skeletons and organs (most of which are vestigial by now) to be seen right through it. with their massive blind eyes visible through closed eyelids, useless vestigial limbs hanging limp as they travel from orbit to orbit, bioluminescent organs shuddering and pulsating within as they convert raw energy into nutrients by a process not yet understood by science, they almost look like enormous, over-developed fetuses as they drift around in space. yet, the name of ‘interstellar whale’, though surely in reference to a passing resemblance to the cetaceans of earth, is also a nod to their most baffling feature — their “song”. it’s not yet known how they produce the incredibly powerful sound waves that are able to travel across the reaches of space, a form of communication between individuals that allows them to keep in touch even across solar systems, but their haunting alien melodies have baffled and bewitched us from the very first day they were discovered.

this, as well as their bizarre appearance combined with their mysterious and seemingly improbable existence makes the “whales” a strong point of fascination for mankind - so much so, that what started off as sporadic scientific research expeditions has long since evolved into entire spacefaring societies focused on tracking and studying these celestial behemoths in an attempt to understand how they manage to live so placidly in the cold vacuum of space.

^ (this was just for my own reference so i could get the tooth structure worked out in my head. their mouths are practically useless now, and they don’t seem to react to their surroundings in any noticeable way - at least, not on a scale that we could comprehend.)

#myart #whalefall #speculative biology #FINALLY. A WHALE DESIGN I’M HAPPY WITH #the hab-ship design however is just a placeholder i’ve got no clue how i want those to look yet LMFAO #technology is so much harder than creature design. weh
