Her scales are so shiny too? Shes practically glowing!!!

Ngl I really hate how barren fish representation actually is :( There's two types of fish ever. Fish and shark and sometimes ray. They always show generic fishes only, like nonspecific fishes with one or two primary colours plastered on the side. Where are the pipefishes? The anemonefishes? The anglerfishes? The damselfishes? The morays? The hogfishes? The groupers? The marlins, the tunas? Even the wrasses???? There are never any specific species, just red fish, blue fish, that's it!
🌠 stargazing-in-antarctica follow
I would also like to bring up unflattering fishes. It's always reef fishes that get their spotlight to shine, but I've never even seen another stargazer portrayed in a good light on TV
🐠 damselfish-in-distress follow
!!!! This is so true! There's so many of us who never get our chance to be seen anywhere and it makes me so sad :( No diversity at all in the casts of recent underwater movies.
🦈 zzz-in-pyjamas-zzz follow
even the representation that does exist for specific fishes sucks. sharks like myself never see ourselves be shown as anything other than bloodthirsty killers :( we get generalised into a single stereotype of a big gray murderbeast
🔲 among-the-sea-weeds-deactivated follow
Anemonefishes are underrepresented?? umm okay. so we're just gonna pretend like a clownfish didn't star in the single biggest fish movie of all time? Where the sharks are portrayed as nice people mind you so why are you even whining. okay. sure. cool. Really need more clownfish movies out there!!!!
🪸 acidicanemone follow
No need to be passive aggressive @among-the-seaweeds-deactivated. You say anemonefishes are oversaturated in the media? In that case, point me to the seemingly abundant movies where two-band anemonefishes are the main character? How about the ones with only Mauritian and orange-fin anemonefish leads? Red saddlebacks, tomato anemonefish, orange anemonefish, skunk anemonefish, wide-band anemonefish, I could go on. Just because one species of anemonefish, the clown anemonefish, starred in one movie doesn't mean that the rest have it super nice and cozy.
Finding Nemo wasn't even too good for clown anemonefishes either. It's the only movie many have seen that even features a clownfish in a speaking role. My anemonefish roommate has often had people calling her Nemo or asking her to tell a joke because it's a "funny gag" from the movie. It's the first thing people tell her when they meet her a lot of the time. Trust me, the only person who has a problem with better fish species representation is you.

Did you also miss the part where the shark goes on a massive murder rampage over two (2) tiny fishes because he smelled A Blood

This person had a ton of anti-dolphin posts on their account too, why am I not surprised 😭😭😭 We need to pull each other up, not put a whole subfamily down for cod's sake. Anemonefishes are called "Nemofish" to this day and age still

Turmoil at Sea [Yan!Merman x Fem!Reader]
Tumblr media
Warnings/tags: Yandere themes, description of violence, I saw a video of orcas hunting and wanted to write something abt it, disturbing content.
+
"Marlin."
With a shaky voice, you called out to the merman lurking beneath the dark depths of the water. Your eyes danced wildly along the watery surface, desperately seeking a glimpse of him.
"Please come out. You're scaring me."
On hands and knees, you clung to the meager wooden surface that barely qualified as a makeshift raft, the sole lifeline between you and the vast expanse of the ocean. The survival itself was a stroke of fortune, remnants of a shipwreck etching haunting memories – cannon balls piercing through ship walls, the frantic cries of the crew in a desperate quest for safety.
"Marlin!"
You attempt once more, your voice rising in volume and gaining a sharper edge. Splashes of water collide with the raft, showering your bare ankles. The once elegant gown, worn for your birthday celebration, now serves as your sole source of warmth. Your left thigh is wrapped in makeshift bandages fashioned from scattered scarves found amidst the vast sea. Slowly edging toward the raft's edge, you strained to peer through the dense water veil, only to be met with an impenetrable darkness that revealed nothing but a faint reflection of yourself. With eyes reddened, pallid skin, and hair beginning to knot after enduring two weeks adrift at sea, your physical state mirrored the harshness of your oceanic ordeal. The scent that clung to you was a noxious blend of fish and seaweed, the very sustenance provided by the merman. Surprisingly, you marveled at your resilience, having somehow endured the consumption of raw, uncooked meat without succumbing to its potentially fatal consequences.
Abruptly, a hand emerged from beneath the water, prompting you to swiftly retreat to the safety of the raft's center. The owner of the hand revealed himself to be none other than the merman, Merlin, whose expression conveyed clear disdain. His hand extended, torso flat against the raft's surface, and intense ocean eyes locked onto you.
"..M..Marlin."
He remains unresponsive to the sound of your name, his long blue tails faintly visible as they linger within the water. After a moment of uninterrupted gaze, he finally speaks, his voice flowing like a smooth seam of silk, captivating in its beauty. The sunlight above did little to forsake his beauty; instead, it gracefully highlighted his features, casting an enchanting aura that rendered him majestic, akin to a water nymph.
"Do you truly despise me that much?"
"What..?"
A bitter laugh escapes him as he withdraws his hand, crossing his elbow to rest his chin against his forearm. His dark hair cascades down, lightly sticking to his chin, a subtle dampness lingering. One can't help but marvel at how a being like him manages to thrive in the frigid waters, contemplating the preservation of his skin and hair—unchanged and undamaged, a testament to their enduring beauty.
"You've proven yourself quite clever, manipulating me into scavenging for food. Quite the strategist, aren't you?"
"I do not understand.."
Your brows furrow slightly at his words, perplexed by the notion that you might be using him to scavenge for food. After all, it was he who volunteered to assist you, the one who rescued you from the wreckage and gently placed your body onto the raft. During the night of the celebration, you discerned his presence beneath the water, catching a fleeting glimpse of his exquisite tail. Despite your observation, your crewmates dismissed him as a mere swordfish or dolphin, oblivious to the captivating mystery that lingered beneath the waves.
"You're exploiting me for your survival, only to abandon me once other humans come to your rescue, aren't you?"
"Certainly not! Once I set foot on solid ground, I am determined to find every possible way to express my gratitude for your kindness."
He scoffed at your words, finding your naivety simultaneously endearing and tinged with folly. Your captivating gaze drew him in, becoming the sole reason Marlin chose to rescue you amidst the entire ordeal. Although not inherently fond of humans, he found solace in the radiant brightness and warmth emanating from your eyes—a quality seldom witnessed through the eyes of pirates or the sailors he had encountered along his journey.
"Do you genuinely think fellow humans would permit such a scenario? If anything, they'll likely exploit that pretext as justification to pursue and hunt me down."
You dismiss his words with a subtle shake of your head, lips forming a tight line as you attempt to speak over him, any method to reason with him.
""Don't worry. I'll reassure them that you pose no threat. I can even persuade my father to consider implementing legislation concerning the pursuit of seamen!"
"My dearest human, it's not as straightforward as it may seem. Even if your father possessed the authority to enforce such a rule, do you believe those who exploit my kind for gain would genuinely adhere to it?"
"B..but it truly is!"
"It is not."
""Marlin, if you assist me in finding my way home, I am prepared to fulfill any wish or desire you may have forsaken. I give you my word—I am willing to do anything."
Marlin fixed his gaze upon you, his laughter crackling as if your words were nothing more than a comedic jest. Your face flushed with embarrassment, the dignity befitting a lady tarnished and mocked amidst the vastness of the ocean. After a few moments, Marlin succeeded in stifling his laughter, pressing his head onto the wooden surface of the raft. He pushed himself up, grinning at you once more.
"Given your persistent stance and reluctance to reconsider, it appears you are determined to return to your modest homeland."
He inhales deeply, then eases himself off the raft, submerging more than half of his body in the sea. His head emerges as the sole visible part, and his long, dark hair ripples in the water, reminiscent of the seaweed depicted in the textbooks you frequently borrowed from the library.
"Well. You leave me with no other choice."
He gracefully plunges back into the water, his form seamlessly vanishing into the azure depths. Your fist tightens as you attempt to fathom his intent, but before clarity settles, he emerges near you. His tail propels a considerable amount of water, conjuring a substantial wave that gracefully cascades onto the raft, drenching everything. A surprised yelp escapes you as the water meets your palm, and you swiftly realize you're gradually sliding toward the edge.
You successfully maintain composure for most of the ordeal, believing his juvenile outburst had concluded. However, your apprehensions materialize as you witness him rapidly approaching, his tail propelling him through the water with increased speed. The waves generated this time are more substantial, causing the raft to sway significantly. As the waves hit and water infiltrates beneath the raft, your last semblance of remaining afloat teeters.
It's over.
A second scream escapes your throat as the waves crash around you. The raft, teetering slowly, slips from your grasp, and you plummet into the cold embrace of the ocean. The frigid water engulfs your senses as you struggle to stay afloat, the taste of salt seeping into your mouth and nose, inducing a stinging sensation. Despite the pain, your eyes stay open, but water bubbles cloud your vision, leaving you disoriented in the underwater turmoil.
"[First Name]."
Even as the water filled your ears, a cold hand firmly gripped your torso, preventing you from descending deeper into the ocean's depths. Through your hazed vision, a pair of bright blue eyes and a mop of dark hair came into view, confirming that it was Marlin who held you.
"..N...No..!"
Your attempts to speak result in nothing but muffled cries, your struggle to wriggle free and rise toward the air and sunlight impeded by his unrelenting grip. Your body yielded to an inexplicable force, surrendering to his control like an underwater puppet. In a fleeting instant, a sensation of cold and softness grazed your lips. Uncertain in your disoriented state, you couldn't be sure if it was Marlin's lips pressing against yours, but the moment lingered in a haze of confusion.
As time slipped away, the diminishing air began to weigh on you, involuntarily coaxing your mouth open and allowing water to seep into your lungs. Your ears, now entirely filled with water, rendered Marlin's words muffled and distant.
Observing your distress, Marlin placed an additional hand on your stomach. His fingers, accompanied by sharp nails, delicately traced along your bare skin, adding an unsettling dimension to your already harrowing struggle. As the sands of time trickled away, you strained to discern the letters, your grasp on survival slipping through the narrowing hourglass.
The first letter being, "I". You could feel Marlin pulling you deeper into the ocean.
The second letter being, "L". The salt in your lungs were too much to bear.
The third letter being, "O". You can't see a single thing, your vision being nothing but complete darkness.
The fourth letter being "V". Oh God, you're going to die.
Before comprehension could settle, your body succumbed, surrendering to the relentless force of the deep. As your consciousness slipped away, the haunting echo of those unfinished letters lingered in the underwater silence.

Dibsy: What’re you driving at sonny?
Toothy: *Tosses a stack of pictures on the table*
Dibsy: The Tux Gang?
Dibsy: What makes you think those oily birds had the beaks to try it?
Toothy: Word is the Tux Gang was in deep with Jimmy Orca and the only way they could square off was to hand over the diamonds stashed in the main cabin safe.
Dibsy: I see what yer stitching.
Dibsy: And what better way to crack a safe than to crack the entire ship around it.
Toothy: Bingo boss.

Kanata Shinkai - A Walk With Me
Author: Yuumasu
Characters: Kanata, Izumi, Shinobu, Kaoru, Souma, Shu
Translator: Mika Enstars
Proofer: Kirin
"A tiger, a shark, and a mackerel…? Ugh, I’m getting confused de gozaru~…"
Season: Summer
Location: Staff Canteen
Tumblr media
Kanata: Sea bass, flathead, eel~…♪ Whiting, sweetfish, marlin, tuna~…♪
Izumi: What kinda song is that? Strangely catchy…
But seriously, why are we here? How is this an OCEANS activity?
Shinobu: That would be because the Summer Fish Fair has begun here at the employee canteen!
Izumi: I’m aware. But isn’t this circle for getting in touch with sea creatures? This is completely unrelated.
Kaoru: Well, something like this once in a while can’t hurt, right? You can deepen your knowledge about seasonal fish by eating them!
Or whatever, I just tried listing some formal reasons. First of all, food tastes better when you eat together with everyone… Second of all, we can share our thoughts on it too.
Izumi: You of all people are saying this, Kao-kun? I thought being around men “grossed you out”.
Kaoru: That was uncalled for… Souma-kun, we're over here!
Tumblr media
Souma: Sorry for making you all wait. I contemplated for a long time on which one to eat.
Kaoru: Fair enough, the menu has quite the selection, isn’t there? Now that we’re all here, let's sit down.
Izumi: Looks like the sofa seats… Are all taken. There’s empty table seats, so should I borrow some chairs from elsewhere?
Shinobu: Heheh, I thought you’d say that, so I’ve got them borrowed already…! ♪
Izumi: How thoughtful of you, such a good boy!
Huh, Shinkai? You also brought one? We have no need for it, so go and put it back.
Kanata: No, “six” is good. Because today, we have a “guest”!
Souma: Hmm? What did you pull out of your bag… A stuffed animal?
Kanata: Nice to meet you, I’m “Mister Blue-nurse Sand Tiger”. ♪
Shinobu: A blue tiger? But it looks like a shark to me, though…?
Kanata: “Blue Nurse Sand Tiger” is indeed a “shark”. It is a “mackerel” shark.
Shinobu: A tiger, a shark, and a mackerel…? Ugh, I’m getting confused de gozaru~…
Kanata: Back in the day, “sharks” used to have been called “dragons”, too. Some sharks are named that too, as a sort of “remnant”.[1]
“Mister Blue-nurse Sand Tiger” here was given to me by Chiaki.
He happened to see it while at the “game center”. He got it for me since he thought I’d like it.
Kaoru: So that’s why you’re attached to it and carrying it around with you? Moricchi’s present must mean a lot to you, huh!
Izumi: If it means so much to you, at least give it a more refined name. Naru-kun too basically named her cat, “kitty”.[2] But you wouldn’t normally give a human the name of “human”, would you?
Kanata: A more refined “name”? I wonder what would be good, hmm…?
Tumblr media
Shinobu: Well, he’s white, shiro, so… Ah, how about “Shironosuke”?[3]
Souma: A fine name. It’s much like one for a Japanese boy.
Kanata: It is good, I like it. I am glad I was able to get you a nice “name”, “Shironosuke”.
All right. From now on, I will take you to all sorts of places with me, okay? …♪
Izumi: I don’t think that’s any different from his original name… What do you think, Kao-kun?
Kaoru: Ahaha, well if the guy likes it, then that’s good enough, right?
Location: ES Hallway
Tumblr media
1 hour later…
Kanata: Ufufu, I’m glad everyone got to “meet” you. That means you’re part of “OCEANS” now too, “Shironosuke”.
The “weather” is good today, so let's go for a swim at the “hanging garden”.
“Plushies” can't “puka puka” though, so please watch from the side instead.
Hm? Your “pectoral fins” have gotten longer... Are you growing bigger, “Shironosuke”?
(…Oh. The seam tore, and stuffing is sticking out.)
(This is bad. I have to fix up “Shironosuke”…)
Location: Dressing Room
Tumblr media
In the ES building's Dressing Room…
(Hmm~… I thought I could fix him from what I had learned in “home economics” class, but…)
(“Repairing “something like a “plushie” is really hard. The “seams” keep opening and even more “stuffing” falls out.)
Shu: …Oh, Kanata. It's rare to see you here.
Tumblr media
Kanata: Shu~…
Shu: What's gotten you so sad? That cotton… A plush?
Kanata: Mhm… I tried to “stitch” him back up, but it's not turning out right…
“Shironosuke” will turn out flat at this rate… Shu, can you fix him?
Shu: Of course. Trial and error when it comes to unfamiliar things only makes things worse. You should have asked me from the start, like you did with Shachitaro.[3]
Wait right there. It won't take long to stitch him back up.
Kanata: Understood. You remember “Shachitaro”, Shu?
Shu: Well, you visiting the handicraft room was a rare occurrence… Hrm.
He's called Shironosuke, correct? So how come he's become so dirty?
Kanata: That's because I carry him around with me. He’s all white so the “dirt” ends up standing out no matter what I do.
But no need to “worry” He gets all cleaned up with the “washing machine” and “dryer” every night.
Shu: Non! Absolutely not, Kanata, it's necessary for stuffed animals to be hand-washed.
Things like this are generally cheaply-made in the first place. It is not suited to be carried around.
Kanata: Mm, but I promised him I would take him to all sorts of places… That's unfortunate.
I'm sorry, “Shironosuke”. You'll have to "stay" back in the "room" from now on.
Shu: That's what will be best for this kid. Handle him with utmost care, as you would family.
The repair has finished. Take this as a present from me. When you leave home, let him rest on this cushion.
Tumblr media
Kanata: Uwah, thank you so much…♪ It’s handmade by Shu, you know~. Isn't this great, “Shironosuke”? ♪
We won't be able to “go out” together anymore, but I'll make sure to bring back plenty of “stories”, alright?
Stay put and be a good boy, okay, “Shironosuke”?…♪
The Japanese name for Kanata’s plush is “Shirowani”. Wani (鰐) means “dragon”, or “sea monster”. As sharks were literally a dragon-like sea monster, they were often called that. Same goes for crocodiles as well; the Japanese word for them is still wani (ワニ).
Arashi’s cat’s name is “Nyanko”, a portmanteau of “nyan” (meow) and “ko” (child). It’s basically the language equivalent of “kitty”, sort of like how Rei calls Koga “wanko”, or “puppy”.
The original text doesn’t reference the plushy’s tummy, and instead works off of the “shiro” from “Shirowani”, the japanese name. I decided to not localize the plushie’s name, since I think names are important.
Shachi (シャチ) means Orca.

Bittersweet Blood
About:
What if Loki was Sally Jackson? Thus, Percy is born a half-blood of two gods from differing patheons. It's time Loki and Percy took the Marvel Universe by storm.
First - Previous - Next Chapter
Chapter 2, Part 2: The Sea Protects
Loki breathes in deeply, amazed that he is breathing in water, as he does air. The currents around them swell, and fish swim all around him in shimmering colors - their bioluminescence lighting up the dark depths of the ocean, and glowing plants sway in the currents, the colors lighting up the waters. 
However, this is nothing compared to the palace in front of Loki. It glows, showing its proud and majestic features. Jewels and pearls decorate its exterior tastefully, with stone carved beautifully as crafted art of the tides and oceans and life. Somehow, yet, the palace still looks daunting, its beautiful exterior a beautiful mask, hiding dangerous points and defenses with a carefree grace when one begins to look more closely at its majesty. 
“Enjoying the view, my απατεών (“shark”),” Poseidon grins at Loki’s awe of his kingdom. His “human” form shed to his simple mer form, with now dark cobalt skin sparkling with dark golden highlights, and his two twin tails grace the water. His long black hair now has a hint of blue in it, and his eyes reflect the deep dark waters around them. He, however, does not change to his royal attire or complete royal form that Loki has seen before, all sparkling and brilliant and deadly, as they need to stay inconspicuous for now. 
Though, Poseidon is still 15 feet tall, about 3 ft taller than the average mer person, and Loki is 6’2”, so they are still bound to stick out a bit.
“Shark,” Loki rolls his eyes once again grateful for Allspeak, “You really couldn’t come up with a better nickname my ᚲᛚᛟᚹᚾ ᚠᛁᛋᚺ.”
“Yet you call me clown fish,” Poseidon rolls his eyes, but looks at Loki fondly, “Besides sharks are a dangerous beauty, much like you are αγαπητε μου (“my dear”).”
Loki’s cheeks heated up, despite himself, “Yes, while clown fish was mainly to jab at your striking sense of humor, I know that clownfish are protective fathers, and you will do whatever it takes for the safety of our child.” 
Loki holds his still flat stomach tenderly and looks fiercely into Poeidon’s beautiful deep greens, “It's why you blessed me to breathe underwater, even when I would have been fine due to my asgardian biology adjusting to the new environment much like how I can survive in space for long periods of time without air, you didn’t want to risk the baby. ᚺᛖᛚ (“Hel”), we are here under the sea to get help for our child in the first place. You are already an amazing father, my lovely ᚲᛚᛟᚹᚾ ᚠᛁᛋᚺ.” Loki adds on with a sincere smile.
Poseidon's cheeks heat up, and he looks at Loki bashfully. Then, he seems to come to a revelation, “I knew you secretly liked Finding Nemo!”
“I-I don’t,” Loki states indignantly, “I just think that Marlin’s parenting is admirable, with how much he cares even when his child is different.” Loki then gets lost in his thoughts, wishing that, despite his differences, his father Odin was that protective and loving. Alas, that isn’t the case, and Loki sighs. 
Poseidon senses Loki’s change in mood and goes to squeeze his hand comfortingly.
Loki looks into Poseidon’s worrying eyes, “I-I’m fine Poseidon. Now, let’s go and meet your family.” Loki squeezes Poseidon’s hand back reassuringly, and lets go. Then, Loki breathed in and straightened his back, the posture and stance fit for a prince, and walked (swam?) into the palace with grace.
Luckily, the visit wasn’t unexpected for Amphitrite nor Triton. They just didn’t know the circumstances or who they were meeting with Poseidon. Although, it still came as a surprise that with Poseidon came the Norse god Loki walking side by side together into the throne room. 
Loki bowed politely, “Pleased to meet you, your royalties, Queen Amphtrite and High Prince Triton of the seas. I am Prince Loki Odinson of Asgard.”
They quickly got over their shock, though, and bowed to Loki as fellow god royals, “Greetings Prince Loki Odinson of Asgard.”
Amphtrite asked, “Now what brings you here, Prince Loki.”
Loki takes a shaky go to open his mouth to speak, and nothing comes out. He tries again, and he can’t speak. He looks to Poseidon for support.
But Amphitrite cuts in warmly, “Why don’t we go somewhere more comfortable since I feel this will be a tough discussion.” 
Then, she leads them into a comfortable room with soft chairs to sit at, placed around a simple round table in the middle of the room. It's all soft blues and greens, with a sandy wall, groves carved into it like ocean waves, and a soft floor of sand with simple plants to the sides, and bioluminescence all placed smartly on the ceiling and walls like shimmering pearls to light to room up enough for comfort.
Amphirtite looks patiently at Poseidon and Loki once they are all seated down. Her gorgeous golden hair like beach-grass pinned back in nets of pearls and silk, a circlet of polished sharp red crab claws across her brow. She smiled at them warmly, her deep blue eyes like sapphires in calming pools, and her seafoam green skin was decorated in jewels and fineries. Her emerald tails draped in pearls and in silks moved calmly, but her ruby spiked fins and scales glint dangerously as her red circlet - showing her deadly grace and power. 
Triton for now remains silent, and places his seafoam green arms with golden bracers on his forearms much like his mother’s on his lap, his two green twin tails unmoving, their golden highlights much like his father’s sparkle in the room's bioluminescence. His dark blue eyes like the hidden depth of the oceans stare steely ahead, part of his hair pulled back in a ringlet of pearls and a small circlet of golden corral remains atop his head, his dark green hair behind his webbed ears cascading down to his shoulders.
Both of them, much like Poseidon, are dwarfing Loki in height and size, even though they are both around a foot shorter than Poseidon.
Loki takes a deep breath, looks to Poseidon and sees his nod, and tells them everything.
Notes:
Do I care that Finding Nemo came out in 2003? No, because comparing Poseidon to a clownfish was needed here, and was cute as heck, and I don't regret it.
Also, I decided to have Amphitrite have blonde hair instead of black because I thought it would fit her, and the mix between yellow or blonde and blue gets Triton's green which is fun.
Loki may or may not have a crush on the beautiful goddess.

Ever since I discovered Fishwoman Dianne Fishwoman I think about her at least once a day. She lives in my brain like some kind of persistent pond slime. <3
For the ask game: 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 19 (and what would she do if when Riker tries to seduce her?), 25, 29. And how would she react if these questions were posed to her by a reporter from the local small-town paper?
2. What genre (not counting the one they’re in) would your OC thrive in?
Dirtbag comedy; she's hanging out with the Jesse Pinkmans and Todd Chavezes of the world and making poor choices; even better if nobody acknowledges once that she's a fish woman 
3. What genre would your OC do badly in but it would be hilarious or interesting to watch?
Regency romantic drama; she's biting the horses and refusing to wear clothes at the fancy dinners. She's sleeping in the koi fountain. Nobody is happy about her being there, except the would-be couple, who have taken her in and become a throuple.
7. your OC had to cosplay as a fictional character, who would they choose?
The fish guy from Shape of Water; she refuses to put on clothes, literally all she'd have to do is paint on some extra stripes
8. Has your OC ever had a crush on a fictional (to them) character?
Ron Pearlman as Hellboy; she thinks Abe Sapien missed his chance with that big red guy and she knows she would have never let that big red guy get away
9. If your OC wrote fanfiction (or if they already do), what type? (fix fic, ship, crossovers, AUs, smut, etc.)
Hardcore self insert smut. Between her and Hellboy
19. If your OC was in Star Trek’s Starfleet, what would be their role/position? Or, if that doesn’t really fit your OC: why would they get kicked out of Starfleet?
Never even applied for Starfleet; was probably a creature in a science lab somewhere instead of going to space
25. What would be your OC’s My Little Pony cutie mark?
Plastic six-pack soda can rings
29. Gun to their head, what is your OC’s fursona?
If it's me choosing, blue marlin. If it's her,  great white shark
Bonus question:
She's answering these questions completely straight faced, making full uncomfortable eye contact, while tearing through a whole dead salmon with her teeth. When the reporter asks for more information, Fishwoman doesn't respond and just jumps into the lake, taking the reporter's lapel mic with her.

Animal Crossing Fish Dish Friday - #5
Brought to you by a marine biologist making up for last week...
...by covering 4 dishes that are all the same damn thing.
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
Carpaccio di...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In ACNH: 1. Simply fish up a (from left to right) a Scallop, a Blue Marlin, a Salmon, or a Barred-Knifejaw to get the recipes. 2. Cook on a stove with the corresponding fish (from left to right) 2 Scallops; 1 Blue Marlin; 1 Salmon; 1 Barred-Knifejaw.
In Real Life: From Italy
Species of choice: Think of this as like, Italian sashimi - it's generally raw fish sliced insanely thinly. You can use any fish you like.
Other Ingredients:
-Olive Oil -Cold toppings you like...
Recipe: This is an appetizer, and there's really nothing to it. Get your fish and slice it really thin while raw (please be careful here - learn how to pick or prepare fish raw), then lay them out and drizzle the olive oil on top. Toppings are your choice, according to ACNH - lemon, salad, basil, lime, etc. look like some of the things ACNH has put on their Carpaccio dishes.
Eating raw fish comes with pros and cons. On one hand, raw fish maintains all of the benefits eating fish provides, particularly more omega 3 fatty acids than cooked fish does (though both options are low in fat and always have a lower carbon footprint than other meat options like beef). The con, however, is that there's always the risk of getting food poisoning or a parasitic infection.
Fish are full of parasites. Many fish - both marine and freshwater - harbor some life stage of a parasite, with many hoping their host fish gets consumed by their final host, like a marine mammal, for example. Many of these parasites remain inactive while at cooler temperatures and begin to react when heated, such as in the stomach of a mammal. Bacteria are relatively the same - they enjoy moist, warm environments to grow uncontrolled. This is why refrigeration was such a boon to humanity. It ensured that food was safe to eat, even days after capture, collection, or purchase and less people got sick from eating spoiled food. However, freezing doesn't *always* kill parasites, which is why cooking fish is the next best thing to keep yourself healthy.
Tumblr media
Picture from here with a recipe!
So, why eat raw? Well, there are the benefits listed above, and if you're careful with your preparation - such as buying fresh, keeping fresh fish on ice or freezing it until use, and using clean knives to prepare your food - you can reap those rewards.
I'm not sure how many of you click the links I share, but if you're looking to make carpaccio - or any of the many raw fish dishes from around the world - please click the one above and learn how to lower your chances of getting sick from one of the healthiest proteins money can buy.
And there you have it. Bon appetite!

AU August Day 1: Underwater
(Did a batfam mermaid au for this one. Fish halves for the charcters are Bruce: black marlin, dick: flying fish, Jason: Blue shark, Tim: brown stripped octopus.)
The sun felt warm on his face. It was a nice feeling, almost nice enough to make him stop worrying. Almost but not quite.
‘Jason slow down!’ he called after his older brother.
‘Not my fault if you can’t keep up Timbo.’ Jason called back. Letting out a frustrated growl Tim propelled himself forward once again nearly colliding with the older merman in the process.
‘Gah careful.’ Jason snapped at him baring his jagged teeth as he did so. ‘You nearly dragged me backwards.’ At this Tim felt a little guilty. With Jason being part shark he was limited to which direction he swam in.
‘Well you were going to leave me behind.’ He argued ignoring that feeling of guilt. Jason sighed.
‘Fine take my arm and I’ll pull you along. But I can’t be waiting around for you we need to get back before Bruce wakes up.’ Reluctantly Tim wrapped one of his tentacles around Jason’s arm and allowed himself to be pulled along.
***
‘Where are they?’ Bruce growled as he swam from room to room.
‘They can’t have gone far.’  Dick protested as he swam after him.
‘Knowing those two they certainly could.’ Bruce sighed as he slowed to a halt. ‘You don’t think they’ve gone to the surface do you?’ Dick frowned at this.
‘I’d like to say no way. But I honestly can’t put that sort of thing past Jason. And Tim’s been acting off since Damian arrived.’ Bruce nodded. The latest hatchling to join their family was unlike the others his own flesh and blood. Whilst he himself saw no difference it was clear his subjects did.
‘If they have gone to the surface you don’t suppose they’d be foolish enough to go near a human nest?’ Dick said nothing, he didn’t need to, his silence was all the answer the merlord needed.
‘I’ll have to send a search party.’ He groaned. ‘They’re not going to like this.’
‘Then I’ll go.’ Dick offered. ‘I think I might have an idea as to where they are. Besides they’re less likely to spot just one merman swimming towards them.’ For a moment Bruce considered arguing then realised he had a point.
‘Okay but hurry about it. Remember the Captain of the guard and his daughter are coming to visit today.’ Dick nodded his cheeks flushing red and quickly swam off. Bruce couldn’t help but to smile to himself. Dick was eighteen, an age where most mermen and maids were finding a permanent mate. And whilst Bruce wasn’t one to push his children into a bonding, never having been through one himself, he couldn’t help but to think there was something between the two.
***
Tim couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A real life human nest. Large buildings taller than the castle loomed in the background, whilst smaller buildings were scattered closer to the coast. All around them strange things floated on the water.
‘Are these boats?’ he asked Jason who nodded. At this Tim pulled himself away from the boat and closer to his brothers side. Jason laughed at him though it wasn’t a cruel laugh.
‘Oh don’t worry. They’re harmless when they’re like this. As long as you’re careful not to get caught in the chains,’
‘What do you mean like this?’
‘I mean tied up, weighed down and empty. They’re only really dangerous when there are humans on board.’
‘And how do you know there’s no humans up there?’ Tim questioned.
‘You can tell by the way they move. Besides the ones who are looking for fish to catch will have left by now. These one’s won’t move until early afternoon at the least and they just sail around not really bothering to do much else.’ A little more reassured by this Tim warily released his grip on the older merman and swam up to one of the smaller boats. It was a green boat with a white trim and what he recognised as writing along the edge. Though it was in a human alphabet so he had no way of knowing what it said. These aren’t so scary, he thought to himself. He was just about to reach out and touch it when a loud Bang from somewhere nearby made him jump. In his fright he ended up releasing anther jet of water that propelled him into another boat. The commotion caused the water to swell moving more boats. Before he knew what was happening Tim was pinned between two larger boats with their chains wrapped around his tentacles. Frightened he started to thrash only half hearing his brothers cries to calm down and stay still. He wasn’t sure what if his head was going to be crushed or his legs ripped off but he knew neither was going to be pleasant. He was still thrashing when he heard a familiar chirp. He stilled and looked over in the direction it had come from. Through the churning water he could make out the silhouette of his oldest brother as he swam towards them. Dick continued to chirp softly at the frightened youngster as approached and began to quickly and carefully pull the chains off of him. As he did so Tim swore he heard what sounded like voices above him.
‘Hurry.’ He hissed earning him a warning glance from his brother. Tim swallowed but said no more. His brothers delicate fins were more likely to become damaged than his own tentacles so he had to be careful. Once free Dick gave a follow me click and dived under the water. Without much hesitation the two younger boys dove after him. As Tim propelled himself through the water he took one last glance back at the surface where he swore he saw the shadow of a human peering over the side of a boat. Clearly though the human had seen nothing more of them than a flash of tail as he quickly disappeared from sight. Once they were on the sea floor and well away from the boats Dick turned to face them.
‘What were you thinking!?’ he asked as both boys looked at each other nervously.
‘It’s my fault.’ Jason admitted. This made Tim do a double take. He hadn’t expected his brother to take any of the blame, let alone all of it.
‘Tim caught me sneaking out and demanded to know where I was going. I shouldn’t have taken him I know that.��
‘You shouldn’t have been sneaking out in the first place.’ Dick snapped before sighing. ‘Look what you two did was stupid. But you’re alive so let’s just leave it at that.’ With that he turned and started to swim again.
‘So you’re not going to tell Bruce?’ Jason called as he swam after him.
‘Oh I’m telling him you went to the surface. But we’ll leave out the bits about the human nest and Tim nearly being killed by boats shall we?’ Sheepishly the two boys nodded as their brother glanced back at them.
‘Besides I don’t want him in too bad a mood when Barbara comes over.’ At this Jason’s face broke into a grin that showed every single jagged tooth.
‘Are you planning on asking her to be your mate?’ he asked as Dick swatted him away.
‘No. I mean not today at least. Maybe in the future. If she wants too…’ his voice trailed off as he realised both his brothers were stifling back laughter.
‘Oh go sit on a pufferfish the pair of you!’ he snapped as he swam faster. Jason laughed and began to also pick up speed jeering at his brother the whole time. Tim followed after grinning despite the ordeal he’d just been through.

Chapter VIII, High Life
Slot Machine
Sometimes you don't know what you're waiting for, what life has in stock for you, it's pretty much the same patience game as fishing blue marlins, there is the conviction that life holds many things same as the sea holds many fish, and your grand prize in it
That comes, always, in due time, if life sees that in you, that you know how wonderful it can be even with the simplest of means, without bitterness, without rancor, or anger, about what you have or not, expecting yes, hopeful, believing in a brighter future, even when things are difficult, because they are difficult
I can't count how many times I felt down and I laughed to tears because of something I saw happening in the street or somewhere else, what life is you know, always throwing you a lifeline in the midst of it all
Happened to me happened to plenty of others, true sometimes it's like staring at a dead end street sign and missing out on the beautiful sunset and the starry night taking place after that, if we only stop staring at that sign, and see past it, if we realize that there's plenty of streets in life not just that one, but we don't do we, we keep staring at that one sign that's taking all the horizon forgetful that life is about keeping appreciating life, which is plenty of other things than money, fame or being successful in the eyes of others
We have to be our own success, the success that we believe in, and find your own happiness that is not given or granted but comes from within, that comes from the realization that we make our happiness same as we make our unhappiness with our own hands, our own way of being towards ourselves, towards others, and towards life itself which when it looks upon us has to find gratitude for it gives many many things without asking anything in return
Humpty Dumpty needed to spread his wings and fly, and we all do, all of us Humpty Dumpties, you get angry because the lift is taken, because someone stole your cab Humpty Dumpty, yet the more you frown at what life is or isn't the more angry it gets at you for not seeing what it offers, sunrises and sunsets being the least of them, and we can all wake up to a beautiful sunrise, or take a walk to see a beautiful sunset, but as long as we don't wake up to that reality of what life is and what it has to offer we have we are still on the wall, constantly wary of falling off
Often, crawling from an unhappy box only to fall in another and another, short selling liberty is short selling yourself, keeping still, frozen still, in a situation entrenching ourselves in it, numbing ourselves to it, where what we really needed was to get out of it, even if it meant risking what we have in life, which in my case wasn't much, and you cling to it because it's all you have, you cling to the tree and forfeit the whole mountain and the valleys behind it, that stretch as far as the eye can see, and its streams and its rivers leading to the sea
But you're flying high now and you can see clearly, you see all of the unhappy boxes where you fell one after the other, stretching under you wings, you see that they are worth nothing if you don't believe in them, that all this time you owned the whole casino and they wanted you to own a broken slot machine with two cents in it
Close Call
Nassau, Bahamas
Hello, Sir? Yes go ahead, They have just landed, Very well thank you, Welcome
Where is our goddamn money?! We did expect your visit gentlemen, the account number you are mentioning is closed, It can't be! It very well can be and it is, Its our goddamn account! Ours!
Numbered accounts are not nominative gentlemen, you knew that perfectly, we are always very thorough in informing our accounts holders about the specifics of numbered accounts they are holding with us, you have been informed same as every other client, Enough with the fancy talk, where is he now?! How could we know, even who you are referring to?
Ok how much? How much what Sir? You know what I am talking about, I can wire you the money right now if you tell us more, I am afraid I do not know anything more than I already told you Sir, You will regret this!
There is nothing to regret gentlemen, you knew the risks and still you valued the service, for which you paid a premium over nominative accounts and it is what you got
I swear that you will! In that case security will see you to the door, you have no more business here, What do you mean by that? That you should leave the Bahamas, which can be arranged for you if you so insist, You will hear from our lawyers! You know we don’t think so, have a nice day gentlemen, Not a word more Mcpherson, we're leaving
Bravo Mister Banker, the calm tone, the composed manner, the veiled threats, not for the 23 Millions Dollars but for the love of the art that is banking, because it is an art
They emerged from the bank none the wiser, not Dillinger who was fuming inside but kept his emotions in check as he always did, and had ample time to think things through over during the unending flight, the chances of overturning Bahamas banking secrecy policies to his advantage were close to nil, but bribing his way a possibility knowing human nature
Or he thought he did clenching his fits at the thought that Weissman had betrayed him, and how he turned out to be the snake lying in the grass he didn't bother paying attention to
Just like he expected the banker was solid, even the 2.6 Billions Dollars were only a small part their deposits so why risk anything especially the bank's reputation, the reason it was recommended to him in the first place was that the money would be as safe as in Fort Knox providing he could claim his numbered account, and the bank lived up to it to the letter, as for McPherson he had put out his hot air show, the reason why Dillinger brought him along, but again the banker stood his grounds even turning the table on them
The whole venture was a total loss, Perkins had too much of a head start just like the retired FBI profiler for hire had told him, the bank's rules were known in advance and nothing could change anything to it, still Dillinger couldn't write it off in his mind, once back inside the corporate jet he picked the phone and placed a contract on Perkins, while the FBI was listening
Had been ever since they came to the conclusion that he had to gain the most from these murders providing this was a criminal enterprise going on, more than anyone else which made him the prime suspect, and that he had been cautious enough so far to evade prosecution
O'Connors death was still deemed accidental until proven otherwise, Richardson had murdered Sullivan in his home before fleeing, as for who ordered the assassination of Richardson in his hotel room the trail of evidence was cut short, as is often the case involving professional guns for hire
They looked long and hard at Weissman's suicide, but high concentrations of carbon dioxide were found in his garage and inside his car with the hose that he used still on the ground, so there was a first attempt, together with his loaded gun still by his side when they went over his Chrysler it accounted for two failed attempts, no other fingerprints no nothing
The autopsy revealed death by drowning although it wasn't clear if a heart attack didn't kill him before he hit the water, the Brooklyn Bridge was still 18 stories high, the two whisky bottles found in the car matched the level of alcohol in his blood, together with a hefty quantity of pills
The Bureau still needed to determine how exactly did Dillinger stand to benefit, and things kept pointing to the Bahamas and a lot of money being involved, the reason why Dillinger would dispatch his associates in crime
The Number 1 reason why all kinds of crimes were committed everyday, and the common denominator behind the staggering majority of the cases that landed at the FBI ever since day 1, the Dollar bill, money could buy power, fame, success, money could buy too many things, money could turn too many situations around, and the price of a life or several didn't matter, to an awful lot, when they could get away with it

Sources and Significance | Blog Post #5
Today we learn about the meaning of Semiotics and function. it can see through the appearance to perceive the essence. It is essential to discriminate the relationship between iconic and symbolic, and how to understand and analyze this process from denotation to connotation to myth.
So I want to analyse Semiotics in "Finding Dory" (2016). The story happens one year after the end of the first film, where the blue fish Dory and the Joker fish father and son Nemo become good neighbours, taking care of each other. One day she followed Nemo to school and encountered a family of migrating Manta rays on the way, sparking her longing for home, so she decided to seek out her parents. With the help of the clownfish Nemo and his father Marlin, she arrived at the California coast of the United States from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Unfortunately, she was unexpectedly caught by the Institute of Marine Biology. There, she met many new friends, including octopuses, sea lions, and beluga whales.
Tumblr media
Using Fiske,John(1982) to analyse the Dory in Semiotics
In denotation, there is a personified blue fish which has a large circle of eyes and yellow fins.
In connotation, there is a personified fish who has mood changes from short-term amnesiac, to passive, to temperate, to confident, to energetic.
In myth, it can reflect a disabled person daring to challenge any difficulties.
Using Peircian (1931-58)semiotics: 3 modes of signification
Both these marine organisms are symbolic
Dory: forgetful, helpless, passive, stupid.
Nimo and Marlin: helpful, brave, positive, intelligent.
Bailey: talented, interesting, strong, pretty.
I think the director would like to show the disabled person who participates in facing difficulties and challenges and ultimately make dreams.

Official Texas Tech Leach Hall Of Honor Gameday 2023 Shirt
I had a run-in with a Official Texas Tech Leach Hall Of Honor Gameday 2023 Shirt at school just like Ralphie with Scut Farkus. My mom would pick us up at school. Mom was young and attractive like a movie star. This guy kept teasing me saying, “Hey RJ, how’s your sexy mom, woo hoo, so sexy.” I ignored him as long as I could. One day I snapped and ran toward him and knocked him down. I stood over him, grabbed the front of his jacket and kept lifting then batting his head against the ground. He never did it again. I had my pals I hung around with just like Ralphie. Earl, Pete, Rosie (Raymond) Jerry and Ernie. We were inseparable, all in the same class. Like Ralphie, I too had bitten into a bar of Lifebuoy soap, and it was the worst tasting soap. If my Irish, Catholic mom heard my sisters or I swear when we were little, that’s what would happen. We were never hit but we did get groundings and tasted soap. The girls especially were repeat soap tasters.
