Ugh... Coelacanth or dreamfish. Both of which I tried when I was waaaaayyyyy younger and didn't know any better. 0 out of 10, do not recommend.
Coelacanth is just... really gross tasting (and in large enough amounts will make your guts try to purge just about everything). Think oily ammonia. It's gross.
Dreamfish wasn't as bad as far as flavors go, but the hallucinations are not worth it.
Haaaaaaaa old asks again. (Thankfully I have all the old ask prompts tagged under ‘meme’-- so people can send in any of them and I can easily find it if I have to-- so finding [this one] wasn’t as hard as it could have been.)
ANYWAY!
89. Do you normally wear your hair straight or curly?
. . . I don’t even have hair. I’m completely hairless. There is zero hair anywhere on me. Seriously.
I have scales and fins, but that’s it. (I don’t even want to think about what the scale equivalent of ‘curly hair’ would even look like, because the idea is just... nooooooooo. And I am NOT trying to think about twisted scales that things could easily get caught under and cause an infection. NO I don’t care if that was grammatically correct for English because the idea is just gross. Infected scale-roots are nasty.)
101. Have you ever had a pregnancy scare?
If I had actually answered this one when this ask was first sent in, the answer would have been an emphatic ‘NO’.
Now though... It’s not really a ‘scare’ when it was more of a pleasant surprise, y’know? (Yes, it was Coral being pregnant with the Little Fish. Yes, all of us had talked about the possibility beforehand, but we hadn’t exactly planned on it, but when it happened we were all on board. Even if I had some moments of freaking out because of my own issues.)
In Atlantis, is there a stigma attached to fuller figures like there is on the surface? What's your opinion on them?
I could answer this straight-forward and point-blank, but I don’t that’ll get the point across as thoroughly as I know I can, so congrats– I’m coming at this sideways and pulling what I pull at my students at the Conservatory sometimes. You’re welcome. lol
So the first thing to know is that Atlantis, at our highest point, is about 200 feet/61-ish meters below the surface of the water, and at our lowest point (or what’s currently considered our lowest point) is about 660 feet/201-ish meters below the surface.
Which means our ‘normal’ temperatures? Glubbing cold.
If it’s 70°F/roughly-21°C at the surface, then it’s about 59°F/15°C at our highest point (in Poseidonis) and roughly-34°F/1°C at our lowest point. That’s in the warm months.
If it’s roughly-55°F/roughly-13°C at the surface, then it’s about 44°F/roughly-7°C in Poseidonis and roughly-19°F/-7.3°C at our lowest point. Which happens to be winter in general.
All of this is to say, being curvy/bulky/fat/whatever-description-of-choice is NOT a bad thing in Atlantis and is generally seen as pretty damned attractive. If you’re bigger, you’re not freezing. And, oh yeah–
‘FROZEN-CHIC’ IS NOT A THING.
Because you know what’s not attractive in Atlantis? Freezing to death.
(The fact that there’s so many of us on the slim side is actually reely damned weird and can probably be put down to the magic that permanently altered all of us when Atlantis was sinking doing weird shark-shit without finesse since the stress was on survival over what would be a better physical result. And if I’m being blunt, I’m practically a gods-damned twig by atlantean standards.)
So, to finally get to your questions directly:
Is there a stigma to fuller figures in Atlantis like there is on the surface? Pfffft NOPE. (If you’re too damned skinny though, people are going to worry about you freezing to death or wonder if you’re eating enough.)
What’s my opinion on them? I’ve seen plenty of bigger people who I think are incredibly hot, but I’ve already got all the partners I can handle. (And I reiterate, I’m a damned TWIG.)
(And in case you were curious, yes the surface’s whole thing with being obsessed with skinniness– skinniness? being skinny? whatever english is WEIRD– is still freaking bizarre to me.)
You should vacuum under your bed. It's really dusty under here.
No. NOPE. Noooooooooooooo.
1) I’m not on land.
2) That’s creepy.
3) I’m not currently on land.
4) Even if you knew where I was living on land while I’m up there-- which I doubt-- there are better ways to spend your time than creeping under my bed.
5) Did I mention I’m not on land? Because I’m not on land.
