Anime Discovery - TIME OF THE SEASON Summer 2022 Wrap-Up
Out with the summer and ready into the fall.... that big-ass Fall.
Well, summer came and went……
In between the insane heat wave going on, the announcements for stuff that’s to come next season and beyond (especially this upcoming fall season), a bunch of other shit happening like the queen dying and yeah, that was a thing. Plus, the non-stop fuckery that is from Warner Bros. Discovery of them cancelling a lot of projects in order to recoup back money….only to…

New Millipede!!! Sphaerobelum turcosa is a newly discovers species of pill millipede that was recently discovered in the Loei province of Thailand. A team of researchers were doing field work in the Phu Pha Lom Forest when they discovered fourteen of these brightly colored millipedes. Due to their stunning coloration these pill millipedes were nicknamed “The Jewel of The Forest”.
Pill millipedes have convergently evolved a body structure similar to that of isopods (aka roly polies) and have comparatively shorter bodies than other species of millipedes, and like roly polies they will roll themselves into a ball when they feel threatened.
The bright turquoise color of Sphaerobelum turcosa helps warn predators that they are poisonous and not to eat them. This millipede also has tan markings on its exoskeleton that form a mask-like marking that helps to scare off potential predators.

For bonus points share one thing you wish would have happened in that extra season
Edit: So many comments about Prodigy not being on here! Well, I am a Prodigy fan too. But I left it off because last I heard Netflix picked it up. Now I don’t have faith it will happen, but nonetheless there is at least one more season planned and maybe more.
On the other hand, even though the last seasons of discovery & lower decks haven’t finished airing, they both have planned end dates.

I'm honestly relieved that my hyper-fixation has over 900 episodes of TV and 13 movies.

Daily fish fact #749
Silver spinyfin!
This fish has hardly a reason to be sad: it has the largest amount of rod opsin genes of any vertebrate! An opsin is a protein that is activated when it comes in contact with a certain wavelength of light, they are used in photoreceptor cells and allow us and other animals to see. To revise, two of the most significant types of photoreceptor cells in the eyes of a vertebrate are cones, which allow us to see in colour, and rods, which function in low light and allow us to see in the dark.
For the longest time, it was thought that vertebrates in general have just one type of rod opsin with one gene producing it (most do), but the silver spinyfin, a deep sea fish, is fascinating in that it has 38 genes for rod opsin! It can express 14 of those genes, and this selection of different rod opsins allows the silver spinyfin to see wavelengths between 445 and 520 nanometers, which encompasses much of blue light! In a strange twist, the silver spinyfin can see colour using its rod cells, likely to spot bioluminescence in the deep and dark ocean.

I kinda miss HBO Max’s previous business model of “having and keeping good content”
I feel like that was a good feature

ANIME DISCOVERY XXIII: SCOTT PILGRIM Takes Off - #248
Time for a nostalgia trip!!! Maybe. Back to 2010!!
Once upon a time, there was a movie that came out in 2010. A movie that changed the world, directed by a film nerd favorite who crafted films like The Cornetto Trilogy, that one horror movie he did that’s not a comedy and his most successful and cursed movie in his catalog.
Yeah, one that aged like ice cream in the sun.
Yep, I’m talking about Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Based on the graphic…

Star Trek Cringe
We love Star Trek, but it is extremely cringe and always has been. Is this intentional? It must be, right? And which Star Trek is the most cringe of them all?

I have strong opinions about this, and you may too. But if you add notes / comments please remember every one of these series has die hard fans who adore the show.
No room for I liked them all / other movies! Argh, tumblr, please give us just a few more poll options!

It’s just… so weird to me that someone who’s any type of bigot would consider themselves a Star Trek fan. Star Trek has such a clear message that being a bigot is bad. How do you miss that?

More Bears
Obligatory bear posting on tumblr to share sketches and bear pics.
I have been watching the Bearcam almost daily, and I’m always keeping an eye out for this one little cub. 910′s spring cub.
This is the bear in late June,
and here it is a few days ago. Growing so quickly <3 It’s about 8 months old now.
more fun pics of 910jr and its family under the cut so the post wouldn’t be a mile long
As it turns out, 910jr has a cousin! the sister of 910 is 909, and she has a cub of her own, though she is a year older. Here are the cousins playing :)
And this is a screenshot I got from the livestream of 910jr saying hi to aunt 909
bonus funny pictures of 910jr
(very chubby! so cute <3)
(In this instance, junior messed with the camera and it went out of order for a few minutes haha)
(baby’s tiny teeth <3)
(a pic from back when 910jr could climb trees. Too big and fat for it now. Last time I saw it climb a tree, the tree was swaying like crazy)
(a gif of 910jr playing with water)
(gif of 910jr trying to intimidate a curious bear. It thinks it’s scary, but it was mom who did the scaring)
finally, here is 903 gully, the long-necked bear
and here is a VERY special picture of him extending his neck to unbelievable lengths. All for the sake of finding the salmon.
