Whale Masterpost 🐳
In honor of the second email, (and the fact Herman put the wrong word for whale) I propose we circulate a post and add on each language’s word for whale. Reblog and add the word for a language you speak or are learning. There’s over 7,100 languages! Let’s see how many we can get!

1:¿cuáles son ideas tontas que tiene la gente de los gaianos?
2:los ceto, son más bien delfines o ballenas?
3:¿Habrá un apartado de los peinados acuario u etiosi?
(Translated via Google Translate)
1: What are some dumb ideas that Gaian people have?
2: ketos, are they more like dolphins or whales?
3: Will there be a section on aquarium or etiosi hairstyles?
1 ) I'm not sure how to answer this, since "Gaian" encompasses so many people, the amount of dumb ideas among them is literally endless! I imagine they have the same kinds of stupid ideas that people in the real world have.
2 ) I assume you mean the cetasirenes? Their tails aren't exactly like dolphins or whales, they are their own unique creature. Some may look more like dolphins and others may look more like whales.
3 ) Yes, there will be more hairstyle and fashion articles in the future! I can't say when they'll be finished, but they are on the to-do list.

Animal Crossing Fish - Explained #172
Brought to you by a marine biologist and a well-associated fish...
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
I can't keep to a schedule; it's fine. Last time I did a fish explained, we did the Skipjack Tuna, and I decided to knock the other tuna out today as well. This one rivals the Bluefin Tuna we covered a long, long time ago, in size, beauty, and ferocity...as well as in its number of friends.
The Yellowfin Tuna appeared in AC Pocket Camp in May 2021 during Fishing Tourney #38, the "sushi" themed one. Like other big fish, it was quite rare. Now, IRL the Yellowfin Tuna is considered "Least Concern" - its populations are stated to be recovering according to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), so it was bumped down from Vulnerable to Least Concern just last Fall. It being rare in Pocket Camp probably has more to do with its worth, size, and the fact that it is more of an open ocean fish, and doesn't often come close to shore.
The Yellowfin is named to species - Thunnus albacares - one of the largest members of the true tunas within family Scombridae. They can grow to lengths pushing 7+ feet (2.1+ m) and weigh 440 lbs. (200 kg) or more. This is still smaller than most Bluefin species, but it's still a formidable size when you think people actively sportfish for it. Still, they are picked off quickly by other predators when they are small. As adults, they only fall prey to larger predators, such a toothed whales, big sharks, and marlin. Yellowfin typically enjoy warm temperate to tropical surface waters around the world. They are probably the most beautiful of the tunas (IMHO) with their long, golden dorsal and anal fins that can be very long and trailing on the oldest individuals.
Now, one thing we haven't spoken about yet concerning tuna is their association with other species. Lots of large tuna species will still school despite being enormous - it helps with hunting. Yellow- and Blue- fin tunas love to associate with different species of dolphins, which makes tuna fishing difficult. Unless you're fishing pole-and-line (aka just a fishing rod and your wits), dolphins are always in danger during tuna fishing operations. Yellowfin in particular will school underneath pods of dolphins as both species seek out dinner, which often translates to both tuna and dolphins trapped in the same net. Although the dolphins must be released, there's always the possibility of panic and drowning for them. Dolphins aren't the only friends yellowfin tuna will incorporate into their schools - other species of tuna, including skipjacks and bigeye tunas, as well as whale sharks, and larger species of whales (that won't eat them), are all common companions of this friendly fish.
And there you have it! Fascinating stuff, no?

witcher 3 npc verse masterpost
peredur :
so a sidequest involving peredur would be like geralt hears about some Shit Going Down in novigrad, humans talking about some man who has been slicing ears to look like elf ears, so then upon accepting trying to find this man, geralt ends up coming across peredur just as he’s scaring off some folks who were threatening some elves ( which is also when geralt realizes this man is also an elf who simply hides his ears beneath his hair ). discussion comes up to geralt having the option to tell peredur to quit, ( or kill him then, ) to which peredur explains so long as humans continue to torture the elves and non-humans of novigrad while he’s there, there’s no way he’s stopping; either the humans desist, or he continues.
there are other instances of geralt running into peredur while there ( provided he didn’t kill him in the first meeting ), with in the final instance geralt has the option to stop peredur from straight up killing a man; if geralt intervenes, it’s a fight to the death. if he lets peredur continue, the man dies and peredur thanks geralt. geralt does warn peredur to leave novigrad, though, and peredur agrees; he says it’s high-time he meet up with a kraken anyways, before he finally leaves the city.
arianrhod :
to meet arian in witcher 3, you MUST have completed peredur’s sidequest, regardless of if you let him live or killed him– based on your decisions during his sidequest, your interactions with arianrhod will greatly differ.
arianrhod’s sidequest takes place on skellige; geralt hears tell of another witcher being spotted upon the isles, only to learn that the witcher in question is one hailing from the school of the kraken in kovir. geralt has the option to ask them some questions about the school / learn the fate of the school which has all but faded into obscurity; the school, when advanced upon by soldiers, was instead swept into the sea by its very namesake, a large kraken.
arianrhod tells geralt about how they are supposed to be meeting their travelling companion; it is then geralt learns the companion in question is an elf named peredur who had been doing some business in novigrad: depending on the outcome of peredur’s sidequest, geralt will either explain that he’s dead ( resulting in another to-the-death combat; their fight isn’t so simple as a swordfight or even signs, as they use their non-human background to disappear into the nearby sea, making them more akin to fighting a siren or drowner underwater, as well as using the signature silver trident of the kraken school, ) or that he’s still alive, and had mentioned intending to meet up with them.
their sidequest itself, upon accepting ( provided peredur was left alive ) involves working with them on a contract of what the person believes to be a kraken; arian isn’t so sure, but has agreed to take it. while finding clues and fighting the occasional bandit group, geralt and arian discover the truth of the rumor: it’s not a kraken, but instead a large, injured pliozaur that had been attacked by whalers; a group of vodyanoy had been trying to take care of it while it recovered, but in its pain, it had been attacking other ships which led to the rumors of it being a kraken. ( arian serves as translator during this conversation, as they are fluent in vodyan. )
this mission can then go a few different ways; as the vodyanoy had been doing nothing to stop the pliozaur from destroying ships, any attempt to force or threaten them to do something such as leave the pliozaur or stop attacking ships results in combat- arian will side with the vodyanoy. this results in the death of the vodyanoy and arianrhod. the ‘good’ ending results in a reached agreement; the vodyanoy and the pliozaur will go out further to sea to avoid humans and ships, only so long as arian and geralt agree to go after the whalers themselves, as they are hunting for sport as opposed to survival. this starts the final leg of the sidequest, where arian and geralt work together to track down the whaling poachers. ( once this portion has been reached, there are no longer options that will lead to killing arian. )
upon coming across the whalers, it results in combat leading to the death of the crew; at the end, arian thanks geralt for his help, making some crack about him not being so bad for a wolf. at this time, geralt has the option to recruit arian to go to kaer morhen; they agree, and says they’ll bring peredur with them.
math :
math gets mentioned early on in the game, by vesemir; he makes a comment about an “old squid” still kicking around up north, one of the last of the old witchers– before they part ways, he lets geralt know that if he happens to cross paths with a crotchety kraken, to see if he might visit kaer morhen sometime.
math can be found in velen ( don’t ask where specifically idfk, just. velen. ) in one of the smaller fishing villages; he explains he’s been in the area trying to help thin out the local drowner & mucknixer issue that had cropped up recently, stating they’d gotten more violent than usual. math doubles as an herbalist / alchemist, and has a number of rare ingredients in his shop. geralt can offer to help out with the problem, a mission which just ends in a fight with a large number of mucknixers, drowners, and a higher level water hag.
upon completing the mission, returning to math will see geralt get paid a decent amount for his assistance, and math explains he should start heading back to kovir with the matter settled. this is when geralt can mention vesemir’s invite ( or the closest thing one can get to an invite from vesemir ) up to kaer morhen; math expresses mock shock over the old dog being alive, but says he’ll consider it. after parting ways, math does indeed go to kaer morhen and ends up assisting during the battle of kaer morhen.
note: depending on geralt’s choices with peredur’s and arian’s missions, ( if he did them, ) any interaction he has with math once in kaer morhen will change. if arian and peredur have been recruited, math can usually be seen speaking with them in the background during preparations. if arian ( and therefore peredur ) were not recruited / their missions not completed, math will comment on their absence and how he knows a kraken and their companion who could have been of help. however, if peredur ( and therefore arian ) were killed, math will refuse to talk to geralt completely. he remains in kaer morhen out of his old friendship with vesemir and that is it; once vesemir dies and the battle is complete, math openly threatens geralt with death if he ever sees him again, before leaving, presumably to return to the ruins of kaer ceudwll in kovir.

The Things We Hide Ch. 9
The Southern Water Tribe stood for a hundred years against the Fire Nation, indomitable until Sozin’s Comet tipped the balance in Fire Lord Ozai’s favour. Now, as planned, the South is decimated, Chief Hakoda is a puppet on his throne, and Princess Katara is a political prisoner held in the Fire Nation capital to ensure his good behaviour.
But Ozai has little time to gloat. A vigilante masquerading as the Blue Spirit is causing unrest among the people, rebel ships still hound his navy, and right under his nose the South’s most powerful waterbender waits with the patience of ice to strike at the very heart of his empire and bring it crashing down.
Chapter 1 on AO3
Masterpost here
Words: 4388
Pairing: Zuko x Katara
Chapter Summary: The Fire lord’s garden party goes exactly how Katara thinks it will - until it doesn’t.
Read it on AO3
Katara –
It’s official, we’re taking a break. The fishing fleet got caught in a storm and luckily we found shelter. The people here are fishermen too, so it’s almost like being at home, only with less snow. All their fishermen are women, though. You’d like their chief. When we first landed, I may have accidentally suggested to her that we were better at fishing because we have bigger boats – don’t laugh, Katara, I know you’re laughing – but she kicked my ass like five seconds later, so she’s now teaching me some of their methods for fishing while our ships finish repairs. You should meet her. You’d like her. Although I don’t know how that would end for me.
Did you know they have a sea serpent here? I’ve only seen the fin, but it’s huge.
Anyway, there’s another reason I’m writing. I know you’ll understand this, you always do. I miss my little sister. You remember her, right? Always helping people, always exploring where she wasn’t allowed. We never could keep her out of the caves on the side of that stupid mountain behind our house, because someone told her that if she looked hard enough she’d find the hidden people and they’d tell her where to find the best treasure. She’s all grown up now, and Dad always told her to be careful, but I wonder sometimes if she still does things like that. She’s doing a great job with the polar bear-dogs, by the way. I hear they’re nearly eating out of her hand.
And one last thing – please don’t send me any more of those Fire Nation recipes with all those weird spices and complicated fiddly buts. It’s giving Nanak ideas and we all have to suffer through them, and what happens after. There’s nothing wrong with sea prunes, you know.
Mimi
--
The letter was crumpled, the ink smudged from so many readings. Even after going through it multiple times, parts of the code were indecipherable. When they had decided on disguising their notes like this, back before Sozin’s Comet, they had decided the need for secrecy was too great to risk anyone being able to find patterns in the smokescreen of friendly correspondence. Katara and Mimi both mixed banal details about their lives with the more important facts, hiding them beneath the surface like the deep ocean currents that brought the bow whales in spring. They relied on their shared memories and in-jokes to communicate, and relied on Nila’s skill at getting information to fill in any gaps.
Not that there was usually much they could do to help, Katara groused, as she sat under the lantern tree in the garden and reread the letter again for the dozenth time. They had worked out that the mention of the ‘hidden people’ was really about Nila’s spies, who had missed their previous three report windows, but the rest of it was still gibberish. And instead of being able to go out and look for them, she and her entourage were stuck in the compound, still under house arrest, with nothing more strenuous to occupy them than garden parties and the ridiculous intricacies of court life. Sometimes she just wanted to forget the plan entirely and swamp the palace in a deluge, but this far into the dry season there wasn’t nearly enough water for that, if she even had the power to move it anyway.
No, for now she was stuck playing the role of subjugated princess, smiling from behind a paper fan in a pretty dress and dreaming of the day she would be free to cast off the layers of Fire Nation silk and daub her face with warrior’s paint as she had on the night when she crushed the three transports against the breakwater. Soon enough, she would teach them the oldest lesson of the Water Tribes: the sea is patient, and powerful, and cannot be conquered.
In the meantime, perhaps she could pry some information out of one of the more loose-lipped nobles, and if that failed, her alter ego might find something. She smirked to think about the growing rumours of spirits in the city, murmurs in the marketplace of a shadowy figure that cloaked itself in mist and slinked through the streets after dark. Ozai had reacted to these rumours with predictable force, but the extra patrols assigned to the wards were reluctant to risk the ire of the people – or the spirits – by going after another preternatural vigilante. It helped, of course, that Katara could pass her waterbending skills off as magic, and she took vindictive pleasure in knowing how easy it was to bring the dissatisfaction of the Fire Nation’s citizens to the surface.
Like drawing out an infection, she thought. All they needed was the right tonic.
She wondered about the Blue Spirit. Since the first night they spent running through the Caldera, she hadn’t seen him. If nothing else, his knowledge of the city would make her own reconnaissance go that much quicker, but despite Hama’s insistence to the contrary, Katara was not reckless enough jeopardise their plan in order to seek him out. Whoever he was, he clearly held no love for those who abused their power, but here in the capital, that didn’t narrow down the field. Maybe he was the son of a disenfranchised noble house, out to seek revenge by stirring up the common folk against their masters; or maybe he was an artisan with a stall in the market, no longer able to tolerate the injustices he saw every day. It was a mystery she would be unlikely to solve with the limited time she had.
“Lady Katara,” Attuk said, making her jump. “Prince Zuko is here.”
She ignored the excited little skip her heart made against her ribs. No matter how charming or earnest he seemed, he was still the enemy, and any attraction he might feel should be cultivated as an extra tool, or as a weakness if it could not be used to serve her purpose. That’s what Hama would, anyway, and if Katara’s thoughts wandered a bit too often too how he had warned her about Azula, or how he had returned her father’s hunting kit without thought of reward, she ignored that, too.
She checked her appearance in the mirror. Today she wore scarlet, following the tradition of the Fire Nation court, but her seamstress had been clever with the cut of the fabric. The layers of silk mimicked the light camel-wool cloth worn during polar summers, the traditional fur linings substituted for intricate golden embroidery. She knew few of the nobles were familiar enough with Water Tribe fashion to notice her quiet rebellion, but it was a comfort nonetheless.
“I’m ready,” she said.
Zuko looked happy to see her. At his side, a servant held an armful of scrolls she recognised as the Southern sagas she sent him a few days before, because it had seemed the best way to thank him for returning her father’s affects.
“You didn’t like them?” she asked, frowning, once the pleasantries were out of the way.
Zuko’s eyes widened. “No! I mean, I did like them,” he stumbled. “I couldn’t put them down, actually.”
“Really?” There was that flutter in her chest again.
“It’s so different to what the masters here think of as poetry. Uh, I didn’t mean that the way it sounded,” he added, inching one hand up to rub the back of his neck. “It’s just that, I’ve always thought poetry was kind of hopeless, you know? Blossom always fades, animals die, and we’re all caught up in the wheel of the universe, unable to change things. Your sagas are just so… so vibrant, like it’s celebrating change rather than just letting it happen, like you can do something and it will matter. If you see what I mean.” He ducked his head with a bashful smile. “There were probably a lot of references I missed, and the stories were a bit more complex than what I’m used to, but I did enjoy them.”
Seeing him so animated about her culture brought an unexpected flush of happiness that tingled along Katara’s limbs, and she answered his smile with one of her own. “If you want to keep them a little bit longer to copy them, I wouldn’t mind,” she offered, without really thinking.
“Are you sure?” Zuko checked.
She shrugged. “We’re allies, aren’t we?”
“We are,” he agreed, the smile spreading to light up his whole face. “If you’re sure you wouldn’t mind, then I’ll have a scribe make a duplicate. They can be a present for my mother,” he added, as the thought came to him. “I’m sure she’d appreciate them. Maybe you could clarify a few things for me, in case there are problems with translations?”
“I’ll answer what I can,” she replied. “What do you want to know?”
Zuko’s smile faltered at a subtle gesture from his valet, and Katara realised their shared excitement had carried them into their own little world. Together, they were chivvied across to the palanquin, with a hurried but half-hearted lecture from the servant about the impropriety of keeping one’s guests waiting, though Katara suspected the real reason for the sudden rush was a fear that they would arrive after the Fire Lord. From what she knew of Fire Nation protocol, the higher ranking nobles got to arrive at social events later, so that they could appear fresh and composed next to those of lower rank who had already spent hours enduring the heat and boredom that inevitably came with these sorts of parties.
As he handed her into the palanquin, Zuko smiled sheepishly at her, and she found herself returning it. Hama would disapprove. She set about arranging her skirts in a fan to avoid crushing the silk beneath her weight, pleased that Zuko had remembered to draw up the blinds without her even having to ask.
“There’s more of a breeze today, don’t you think?” she said, when the silence between them grew brittle.
Zuko nodded. “It’s coming off the sea. Li and Lo say the monsoon is finally here, and they’re never wrong – but I hope the rain stays away for the rest of the evening.”
Katara smiled and nodded. She didn’t tell him she could feel the sea in her bones, churning up a storm that would snap the dry crackle in the air like a strand of spider silk. She ignored the feeling, for the most part, but the weather-change left her fretful, distracted. She had come very close to making up some excuse to cancel the party and stay in the inner courtyard of the house, where she could bend away her agitation without fear of being seen.
“The thunderstorms at this time of year are amazing,” Zuko was telling her. “So much raw power, and after so long without water, the countryside just bursts into life. We have a special pavilion at the palace just for listening to the sound the rain makes on the roof tiles. The storms won’t be better until later in the season, but if you would like to see it…”
“I’d love to,” Katara said, thinking about how she might be able to sneak away and find the Fire Lord’s office. “It sounds wonderful.”
“I suppose you have storms in the South?” he asked.
“Not quite like here,” she admitted. “We have blizzards, and there’s thunder and lightning in those, but often the wind is so loud and the storm so thick you can’t tell. Sometimes it’s dangerous to go outside because the snow turns you around and you end up lost within a few steps of your doorway.” She shuddered. “I think I still prefer it to this heat, though – at least when it’s cold you can put another parka on.”
“I’ve never seen snow. I know what it looks like, from reading, and that it’s frozen water, but… what’s it like?”
Katara was thrown by the wistful tone of the question. She didn’t know how to answer – how could she, when the snow and ice of the South had been as constant and natural to her as the water? And in a land of such heat, what was there to compare it to?
“I never really thought about it,” she said. “I’ve never had to think snow was like anything, it just is.”
Zuko looked thoughtful, digesting her answer. “What’s a sea wolf?”
“What?”
“One of the sagas mentioned them.”
“Oh.” Katara relaxed slightly. For a second, she had thought he meant to trap her, but the expression on his face was open, the bright gold of his eyes slanted in expectation of her answer. Something uneasy stirred across the skin at the back of her neck, but what could it hurt to tell him about sea wolves? They came to the South in the spring, Tui’s demon aspect chasing tiger seals through the streams of melting ice, their black fins stretching taller than a man above the water. They were respected, Katara explained, because they hunted as a group like humans did, and were cunning, and generous, and vengeful in defence of their families.
“I think I know what you’re talking about. We call them Shachi.”
Katara tried the word; it tangled on her tongue and made her giggle. By this time, they were passing along a broad avenue lined with mangingko trees, their bright yellow leaves fluttering in the wind coming off the sea.
“In some of the stuff I read,” Zuko ventured after a moment of silence, “there was a character called ‘sea wolf’. It was used like a title.” He seemed to be choosing his words, glancing at her sidelong and picking at a stray thread in the silk cushions. “I… I hope this isn’t rude, it just caught my eye and, um… it’s alright if you don’t want to answer, but it seemed like a pretty big deal.”
Katara felt tension creep back into her limbs. The storm air was getting to her, but worse than that was the sudden, choking fear that she had been found out. How much did he know? Did the royal guard escorting them draw closer?
No, she decided. If Zuko had any idea who she really was, he would have brought more soldiers with him. And if this was a test, then surely it was better to control the information he got rather than to arouse his suspicions further.
Be calm. Be still. Adapt to the flow around you.
“There was an old tradition,” she said, trying not to sound like she was working out how to lie. “‘Sea Wolf’ was an honour given to the most powerful waterbender in the South, carried until they could no longer carry out their duty.”
“And what was their duty?” Zuko asked.
“They were the people’s champion. When they died or wished to retire, they would choose their successor.” She smiled. “It’s all in the past, especially now that the Fire Nation are our allies. What need do we have of such things?”
Zuko frowned, as if puzzling something out. “If it’s all in the past, what happened to the last Sea Wolf?”
Katara froze at the question. Fire and screaming flashed in her memory, the heat and the guilt of seeing her people destroyed and being able to do nothing to stop it. Her fingers reached for the familiar comfort of the necklace at her throat.
“She died.”
--
Katara was surprised by the number of guests in green and yellow as Zuko led her through the grand moon arch and into the Fire Lord’s public garden. The Earth Kingdom nobles flittered through the Fire Nation court like hummingbirds around flowers, keeping up a sycophantic bubble of conversation over their glasses of chilled fruit punch. The sight of which had Katara clenching her fists inside her sleeves. How many Earth Kingdom citizens had died trying to fight the Fire Nation, only for the self-interested aristocracy to pander to the enemy in order to protect their own interests? With great effort, she smoothed her face into a smile, and allowed Zuko to lead her through the crowd and offer introductions.
“Oh, so you’re the little thing Her Grace has taken such a shine to. The Fire Lord is quite generous to keep you as he does, you know.”
“Is it true the Water Tribes still wear animal skins and live in huts?”
“How brave of you to wear such colours, with your skin tone. And those beads – how quaint!”
Katara replied to all the backhanded sniping with good humour, but only because it was fun to guess whether they would be more shocked or scandalized when Zuko came to her defence. While he lacked the delicate wit to ever really be a proper politician, he made up for it with dry sarcasm and a disdainful stare, made all the more effective because, as the Crown Prince, nobody could afford to insult him. She watched as one particularly pushy matron, no doubt hinting at a match between Zuko and her rather mousy daughter, tripped over and over herself trying to clarify a remark about Katara’s hair.
“Lady Katara,” Zuko interrupted smoothly. “I hope you will forgive my rudeness. I got so absorbed in presenting you to so many lovely people that I forgot you haven’t even got a drink yet. Will you accompany me?”
Katara took his offered arm and all but purred at the way the matron’s jaw dropped open. “Of course, Your Highness. I admit, my throat is quite dry after all this delightful conversation. I don’t think I’ve ever tried fruit punch before.”
“Then I’m glad I have the pleasure of introducing it to you,” he replied, and led her to a quiet corner of the garden shaded by a thick stand of bamboo. “I’m sorry for all of this,” he murmured when he was sure nobody would overhear. “I know they can be rather… not nice.”
“I can handle them,” Katara told him with a shrug. “Is something else bothering you?”
“What?”
She frowned at him. “You’re scanning the crowd like you’re expecting something to happen. Am I keeping you from meeting someone special?” she teased, unsure why she wanted to catch him off-guard.
“What?” he cried, colouring. “No! I’m just…” He sighed. “It’s Azula. She’s late.”
“And that’s unusual for her?” Katara asked.
“She’s up to something,” he growled.
“Maybe you can find out if anyone else knows where she is,” she suggested.
Zuko’s eyes widened. “You believe me?”
She shrugged. “You do remember I met your sister, right? No offence.”
“None taken,” he replied, with a slowly spreading grin. “Wait, I almost forgot – drinks! Will you wait here for me?”
Katara hummed. “If I stay here all by myself it’ll look suspiciously like I’m not enjoying the company, but if I go out there,” she gestured vaguely, “then I’ll be roasted alive.”
“By the sun or by the company?” Zuko joked.
“Take a wild guess.” She shook her head. “I’ll mingle. I still have to find Bato, anyway. I haven’t seen much of him recently.”
Zuko bit his lip, the way he did whenever she brought up any reminder that she was still under house arrest, or that she and the rest of her entourage were watched, but he nodded and promised to come find her later with drinks.
Good, let him feel guilty, Katara thought as she ventured back into the sea of nobles. It means he won’t look so hard at what we’re doing.
She didn’t get far before she felt somebody slink up behind her. Instinctively, she took hold of the water in the nearby pond, but before she could do any more, a tall, pale young woman stepped out in front of her. Everything about her was made up of precise, straight angles, from the severe line of her fringe across her high forehead to the crease where her sleeves folded at the elbow, to the lazy slant of her kohl-rimmed eyes. She held herself with the kind of poise Katara knew from experience could drop into a fighting stance at the slightest provocation – something everyone else must have noticed, too, because the majority of the nobles who looked at her deflected their attention quickly away.
“You don’t have to pretend to like them, you know,” the strange woman said.
Katara gave her a quizzical smile. “I’m sorry?”
“Those Earth Kingdom ninnies,” came the drawled reply. “They probably wouldn’t notice if you were mean since they’re trained not to make a fuss. One of the only fun things to do around here is to see how far you can push them before they resort to having a tantrum.”
“We haven’t met before, have we?” Katara replied, hoping to at least get a name from her new acquaintance.
“Azula told me about you,” the stranger said. “The Water Tribe Princess. I thought you’d be taller.”
“My name’s Katara.” And yours is…?
“I know. Azula was impressed with you, you know, even if she’d refuse to admit it.” The thin face split into a smirk like a shark’s. “You should have heard her. It got so boring, listening to her go on and on about how rude you were to her.”
“I’m sorry I inconvenienced you,” Katara replied, not sure what else to say.
A shrug. “You should take that as a compliment, actually. Being ‘rude’ to Azula simply means not being scared stiff of her. Anyway, my parents would be horrified to find me not circulating. These parties are always so dull.” She turned with a dismissive wave of her hand. “If you ever need a friend, my name is Mai.”
Relieved to be out of dangerous waters, Katara offered a polite nod of her head and made her way over to where Bato was standing with his attendants. They all wore Fire Nation uniforms and stern expressions, telling her in no uncertain terms that every word she shared with her father’s ambassador would be reported to Ozai or his agents. In a way, she was grateful, because it meant he wouldn’t have the opportunity to chastise her for being reckless – because she could tell by the deep furrow of his brow that he knew exactly how she had been spending her evenings.
“Having fun?” she asked.
“I’m looking forward to the play they’re putting on for us, but it’s too hot,” he replied, smiling. “Not that there’s much to be done about that.”
“I’ve been told the rains will come soon.”
“Oh, and will they?”
She nodded. “Soon enough.”
“I see.” Bato sucked in his cheeks, glancing at their escort. “How are things with you, day-to-day?”
“I had a letter from Mimi yesterday,” she told him. “Something about –”
A fanfare interrupted her. The Fire Lord had arrived. Ozai appeared at the top of the steps to the private wing of the palace with Ursa’s hand placed delicately on top of his, fantastically arrayed in layered scarlet and burgundy that glittered with golden thread. On anyone less sure of their own power, such a display might seem ridiculous, but the thought did nothing to stop the cold shiver that ran down Katara’s spine. The last time she had seen the Fire Lord, he had been hidden behind a wall of flame.
He spotted them and came over. She was glad for the steadying hand Bato laid on her shoulder.
“Our most honoured guests,” Ozai said silkily. “We are so glad you could join in the festivities.”
“We are pleased to be here, your Majesty,” Katara replied, with a bow. “The entertainment promises to be enjoyable.”
“My son, no doubt, has told you about it,” replied the Fire Lord, with only the smallest hint of a sneer. “He would do better to spend his time bringing to justice the perpetrator of the recent destruction in the harbour.”
Bato’s grip tightened on Katara’s shoulder. “As I have told you before, Your Majesty,” he said, “the Southern Water Tribe will do all in its power to assist our allies with the capture of those responsible.”
“Can’t such serious talk be left until after the party is over?” Ursa interjected. “This celebration is supposed to be a happy occasion, after all.”
“My wife, the peacemaker,” Ozai chuckled. Katara noticed how his grip tightened on Ursa’s fingers. “Very well. We will take our seats and see what the Ember Island Players have for us this year.”
“Lady Katara, would you sit with me?” Ursa asked.
“Of course, Your Grace.”
As a group, the Water Tribe ambassadors and the royal entourage of the Fire Nation made their way to a small stone courtyard beyond the garden, where a small stage had been set up in front of rows of cushioned wooden benches. For a moment Katara paused, waiting to see whether Zuko would appear as he had promised. When her hesitation threatened to grow conspicuous, she sat down between Ursa and Bato, leaving enough space that she could shift up if she needed to.
On the stage, a man dressed in fiery orange tassels spread his arms.
“That’s Agni,” Ursa explained to Katara. “The god of fire. He narrates the story because his omniscience allows him to take events and show humanity the lessons embedded in them.”
“… a tale of how two threads of Destiny were ripped in twain…”
“I see neither of my children deigned to honour their father by showing up,” Ozai growled. “How disappointing.”
“Your Majesty, Zuko is here,” Katara protested. “Somewhere. He escorted me to the party.”
“… and, once known to each other, how they – what is the meaning of this?”
Ozai’s sneering retort faltered as he looked to the stage, where Azula stood with a blue fireball on each open palm, towering over the man dressed as Agni.
“I’m afraid tonight’s show has been postponed,” she trilled. “What a shame. I do so enjoy Love Amongst the Dragons. How fortunate that I’ve come prepared with an alternative form of entertainment.”
The audience watched, transfixed, as four royal guards armed with poleaxes marched onto the stage, dragging an unconscious figure between them.
“Noble guests, honoured Father, the time for fear is over,” she announced. “I have caught the saboteur. May I presents the Blue Spirit.”

Animal Crossing Fish Explained -Habitats #9
Brought to you by a marine biologist going back out to sea...
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
Nah, not really...I’ve had enough of that IRL. But I am going to finish this series; I have just been exhausted at work lately. It’s getting way too goddamn hot and I often find myself wishing to sit in a refrigerator...or move to the Arctic Circle, and yes, that’s my segue LMAO. Haha, guess which museum tank we’re covering today?
Yes, it is the cold, Polar Regions tank. In fact, it is specifically The Arctic or subarctic, given by the animals in this tank, who are all native to the Arctic Ocean or North Atlantic or North Pacific. So, the Northern Pole, if you will. This is an important distinction to make, because despite both Northern and Southern Poles being very cold, that’s really all they have in common!
Have you ever noticed that the Arctic and the Antarctic are perfect inverses of each other? Where the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by continents, the Antarctic is a continent surrounded by ocean. And because of this, the Antarctic, with its higher elevation to boot, is significantly colder than the Arctic! That also means that Antarctica is dry af compared to the Arctic. Snow rarely falls in Antarctica, despite it being a winter wonder-hell. Cold air really can’t hold moisture - humidity needs heat and there’s really none of that in Antarctica. Any snow that does fall, rarely melts, so it gets compacted into ice or is blown around in the unforgiving winds like a fake blizzard. This makes the Antarctic continent the coldest desert on Earth.
Picture from World Atlas.
Picture from NOAA.
This structure then translates into two totally different seasonal experiences at the two poles. The Arctic experiences a much more bountiful, greener spring and summer than the Antarctic - in fact, you’d be hard-pressed to see the Antarctic with much green that isn’t low-lying mosses, algae, and some species of grass that can survive with the limited sunlight, nutrients, heat, and, ya know, everything plants need to survive. Despite the Arctic being “the ocean” and the Antarctic being “land”, you will find many more land animals living in the Arctic Circle, than you do in Antarctica. This makes sense, given the structure and supporting plant life. In the Arctic, wolves, bears, deer, rabbits, etc. are plentiful, whereas in the Antarctic, the only permanent, purely terrestrial land resident is the Antarctic Midge, an insect! Both areas do provide an incredible assortment of marine life, though: in the Arctic, seals, the walrus, whales, seabirds, and many species of fish, such as capelin and Greenland sharks, and many species of invertebrates like copepods, and all of the friends in our ACNH tank, like crabs, can be found. In the Antarctic, penguins, seals, whales, krill, and two very special fish families (the notothens and icefish) that evolved natural anti-freeze in their blood and live without hemoglobin, separately, respectively, live here. I could go on and on about how any of that works, so if you’re interested, drop me an ask! It is really fascinating! The Antarctic also supports many bottom-dwelling invertebrates, like sea stars, urchins, and worms.
Anyway, let’s focus on the Arctic and its relationship with ice. Sea ice is extremely important to the Arctic Region. During winter, most of the Arctic Ocean freezes over, and this heavily impacts the types of animals that can and can’t live there and what types of behaviors and adaptations animals that do live there need to have in order to survive. The famous polar bear is actually considered a marine mammal because it heavily depends on sea ice to forage. The bears have incredible senses of smell that point them to air holes and dens the many species of seals living here make. You can imagine that being an air-breathing mammal may be tough when the surface is covered in ice, and it is! Breaks in the ice are life-savers, and some seals actually use their teeth to grind away ice to keep these holes open (and yes, that actually impacts their lifespan as their teeth get ground away to uselessness! But, y’know, it’s important to breathe.) The Beluga, Narwhal, and Bowhead whale are three incredible Arctic whales that have one important thing in common - they don’t have dorsal fins! This allows them to navigate under and through the ice as they look for air holes and melted channels. All of these big mammals depend on the fish and invertebrates, like the ones you see in this tank in ACNH, to survive this hostile environment.
Sea Butterfly :: Red King Crab :: Whelk :: Sweet Shrimp :: Scallop :: Sea Urchin
And there you have it. Fascinating stuff, no?

Glenvar Thunderhorn
(more under cut. WARNING: the following text contains spoilers for the Freelance Good Guys series.)
Name: Glenvar Oggson Thunderhorn
Place of Origin: Kirkmar of Red Tundra, Halostira
Date of Birth: Winter, 5978
Species: Human
Occupation: Fisherman (former), Mercenary
Known Relatives: Vingevar Hammercrest (father), Oggsa Thunderhorn (mother), Elgavara Thunderhorn (sister), Hundelgi Thunderhorn (sister)
First Appearance: Flopper and the Whopper
History: Glenvar hails from the religious and warlike Maskamar tribe. The Maskamar believe their day of birth dictates their destiny, so when Glenvar was born under the sign of the whale, his mother tried to prepare him for a rough life at sea.
When he was a teenager, she took him out into the tundra to hunt an ancient kaldvurm. Glenvar’s mother ripped a magical object called a “flamcor” from the kaldvurm’s belly and gifted it to Glenvar. As long as he wore it close to his heart, he would never succumb to the cold.
Glenvar set off towards the sea and eventually found his way to the coastal town of Odens, where he became a fisherman. One day his crew ensnared a mermaid. The captain tried to remove her scales, but Glenvar defended her while she escaped.
The mermaid told the ocean divines of his good deed, so when Glenvar was thrown overboard for mutiny, he was rescued by Salina and Marina. They rewarded him by merging the flamcor with his heart, making him permanently immune to the cold.
He met the Freelance Good Guys aboard a transport ship. When this ship was suddenly attacked by pirates, Glenvar proved his worth by defending them and joined their company.
Personality: Carefree and good-humored, Glenvar is always the life of the party. He is not always responsible, however, and he avoids any kind of commitment. He hits hard and drinks harder. He is notorious for his rowdy, drunken behavior.
Glenvar smokes, drinks, and eats as much as he pleases with little regard for his health. He is a devout Sylvanist who practices his religion daily. He is repulsed by the world of technology and prefers to live a more primitive life closer to nature.
Trivia:
His favorite foods are brodfesk (or as he calls it, “cheese ‘n chovies”), fried pickles, and whisky.
Glenvar’s name translates to “born in the forest” in Volkaspek.
Began drinking at age 13 and is a self-proclaimed alcoholic.
Besides alcohol, he occasionally indulges in other drugs like tobacco, dreamleaf, joy juice, and crazy beans.
Hates stairs due to his short legs.
Evan and Lukas taught him how to read and write when he was a teenager. Due to a lack of practice, he does so quite poorly and usually asks others to read things to him.
Refuses to wear underwear.
He honors his religion by burning a little piece of every animal he eats, believing the smoke carries its soul to the celestials.
Immediately loses his temper when compared to a dworf.
Enjoys wrestling, cooking, fishing, and drumming.
Had his appendix removed in “Sugar and Shine”.
Afraid of spiders.
Skilled at cutting and styling hair.
Sucks his thumb when he’s bored or anxious.
Often complains of knee pain and urinary issues. Is also symptomatic of liver disease.
Can’t stand big cities or high-tech contraptions, instead preferring to live a primitive lifestyle.
