Polyorchis penicillatus, The Red-Eyed Medusa
I saw this species for the first time this past Spring. They usually hangout on the muddy bottom, but there had been some strong winds that must have pulled it up to the surface. I found some this summer with a little ROV I was learning to pilot - when they are near the bottom they hang out splayed in visual nests of their own tentacles, hovering weightless.

Taking you out on a date ||| Genos, Garou, Metal bat
Appreciation post for the teen trio of opm 🤭
She/her pronouns used!
Requests are open anytime <3
Genos
Tumblr media
“I apologize, I must have disappointed you.”
Poor boy literally spent DAYS analyzing your likes and dislikes in order to take you out to the perfect date, as you both made plans to go out on the weekend.
He spent so much time trying to sort out potential places to go that he ended up with nothing on the day you both wanted to go out.
He stood there, in front of your door about to pick you up, with the guiltiest expression on his face. (Well as guilty as a cyborg can look, ykwim)
says sorry for about 100 times before he shuts his mouth. You literally have to stop him mid sentence for his explanations to end.
“IT’S OKAY- you could have just asked me where i want to go instead of making it so hard for you. I like Aquariums, why don’t we go there?”
“Oh.”
Feels like the most stupid (person) in the world at that moment. Had he known it was this easy, he probably wouldn’t have gone through such lengths. (He would have. Cuz boy doesn’t realize that he’s in love with you.)
Usually Genos is pretty blunt and forward, i guess that’s why trying to come up with something was so hard for him. For the first time, trying to ask you directly didnt cross his mind, as he wanted to make you happy all by himself.
You both spent the rest of the day at the aquarium, with you admiring the sea animals, and him admiring you. He realized after a while that his gaze was stuck on you, and definitely made a mental note to ask dr. Kuseno if there was something wrong in his system.
EVERY TIME YOU MENTIONED THAT AN ANIMAL LOOKED CUTE, HE PAMPERED YOU WITH INFORMATION ON THAT SPECIFIC ANIMAL.
Like the tension would be all romantic, you’d be looking at glowing jellyfish, and he’d be staring at you, smiling a tinsy bit. Then you’d say something like “look Genos! That jellyfish looks so cute!” And the next second, Genos would turn into a search engine.
“That’s an Aequorea victoria, also sometimes called the crystal jelly. It’s a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa. It can be found off the west coast of North America. The species is best known as the source of aequorin, and green fluorescent protein-“
“Okay- thats enough genos.”
All in all, it would be a pretty fun date! Genos would end the day by saying “I really enjoyed going out with you, Y/N-san. Next time I will take you out to someplace even better. No mistakes allowed.”
Garou
Tumblr media
“What are you looking at? Don’t you like it?”
Guy heard “let’s go on a date!” And rolled with it.
Though his idea of a “date” might look a bit different.
100 percent took advantage of it when you said “let’s go somewhere you like”
So of course y’all ended up in an all you can eat buffet.
And he won’t be paying for it 💀 (the fee might look a “bit” expensive, make sure you take a good amount of money with you)
Chugs down a plate after the other, so at least the money isn’t wasted.
Once he sees your kind of upset face, he stops taking bites of that real good steak and looks at you confused.
You were happy to spend time with him, you really were, But this just wasn’t what you thought it out to be. Of course you expected it to be at least a LITTLE romantic, even though he wasn’t your boyfriend yet, nor did he know that you liked him.
But sorry to disappoint you, romance is a foreign word for this oblivious man.
If you tell him how you feel about the date though, he’ll give you the widest smirk “you’re happy to spend time with me?” Completely ignoring everything else you said
Once y’all are done eating, he’ll make sure to walk you home, if you’re cold he’ll even hold you. So that’s at least something ?
You have to be REALLY forward and blunt with him, or else all he’ll do is tease you.
If you really wanna make him blush just straight up hold his hand, he won’t do nun. Yelling at you or hurting you is an absolute no for him.
Metal bat
Tumblr media
“My sister suggested this place, ya like it?”
Metal bat pretty much has all the knowledge he needs when it comes to girls, as he has to take out and hang out with his little sister a lot.
Most of the time it’s shopping malls where his sister drags him from shop to shop for hours.
So like once they were both shopping for a cute little bag because Zenko had won a piano competition and big brother was proud asf 🤭 and ofc she had realized that he’d be mentioning this one girl from time to time.
“Big bro, why don’t you just take her out on a date?”
But like, we’re talking about a little kid here, so her advice may not be as fitting 😭 she literally only gave him tips on where SHE would like to go.
“If I were her I’d love to be taken to an amusement park, and then he should win me a big unicorn plushy !”
But Metal bat loves his sister more than anything, AND he has 2 brain cells so ofc he’d listen to her, thinking it’d be the best date idea.
A couple days later (he especially took a day off from work for you and told the HQ that they shouldnt call him even if there’s an emergency) he takes you out saying it’s a “surprise”, but once you both stand in front of the amusement park, your reaction isn’t quite what he expected.
It was an kids amusement park. ALL of the rides were fit in for children.
You were happy of course, but metal bat expected you to be fawning over him by now. (That’s what zenko at least told him. Quoting “she’ll be head over heels once you both arrive big brother!”)
“Why are we at an kids amusement park ?”
“My sister recommended it”
“…”
“…”
“Makes sense.”
Well you both already got tickets so all you could do was make the best out of it.
At least the food was good! Metal bat bought you candied apples, chocolate strawberries, cotton candy, everything you laid your eyes on.
And he got you lots of plushies, like, LOTS of plushies.
The kids there did recognize Him tho, so it took a while to get away from the crowd of children wanting autographs and photos.
Metal bat ends up feeling like he ruined your date, so you can see him being kinda upset, after cheering him up though, you both promise to go to a place that both of you could enjoy next time.
He literally has to hold himself back not to spit out the words “i love you” cuz you looked so adorable on that day. (Especially eating the cotton candy)

Flowerhat jellyfish
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The flower hat jelly (Olindias formosus) is a species of hydromedusa in the hydrozoan family Olindiidae. Although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa. Flower hat jellies occur in the northwestern Pacific off central and southern Japan, and South Korea's Jeju Island. (close relatives live elsewhere, like O. sambaquiensis found off Argentina and Brazil). The adult form of the flower hat jelly only lives a few months and is typically seen from December to July, with peaks in April and May. During the day they rest on the bottom, often among rocks or algae, but at night they float up to hunt for their prey, typically small fish.

"It's the end! It's all over!" said Ned Land.
"Order of hydromedusas" murmured Conseil.
Twenty Thousand Leagues fandom, if you're out there, I am BEGGING someone to draw this moment from chapter 14. Just the mental image of Ned running around screaming in the background of Conseil calmly looking at some specimen has got me sitting here giggling like a madman

Voyage of the Nautilus: The Black Current
I was left to myself, lost in my thoughts. They all centered on the Nautilus’s commander.
Aronnax just can’t stop thinking about Nemo ...
“If master says so, then so be it,” Conseil answered. “But in all honesty, this lounge is enough to astonish even someone Flemish like myself.”
The flemings (?) not easily astonished I see. I guess this is part of the explanation for Conseil’s unflapablitlity.  
“Indulge your astonishment, my friend, and have a look, because there’s plenty of work here for a classifier of your talents.”
I love the character trait of Conseil being a classifier and all he needs to be happy are a series of specimens to classify endlessly. 
In short, a thousand questions I had no time to answer.
I have to say, I think that Aronnax really has all the time to answer the questions given the fact that they are supposedly trapped here for the rest of their lives. 
“I haven’t even spotted the crew of this boat. By any chance, could they be electric too?”
Is this a Frankenstein reference? Is that what Ned is subtly referring to?
“It’s the beginning of the end!” Ned Land said.
“. . . order Hydromedusa,” Conseil muttered.
This really sums up these two characters. Are Ned and Conseil narrative foils? (oh my god they were narrative foils). 
Conseil really is unflappable, nothing phases him, really the least anxious man. Conseil wouldn’t panic if a house was burning down around him. Conseil is the “this is fine” meme but he really does just feel fine. 
It was no longer illuminated water, it was liquid light.
This book is just neurodivergent characters, hilarious character dynamics, long lists of ocean specimens, suddenly beautiful descriptions of water. 
And on this subject a dispute arose between the two friends, since both were knowledgeable about fish, but from totally different standpoints.
I love this. I’m obsessed with this. This is also how I communicate. 
and since he and Ned were now fast friends, he just had to show off.
Conseil’s character is so much more complex than I thought it was going to be at first. I love that now that he’s friends with Ned, then he wants to show off his knowledge but not before!
“Sure I do,” the harpooner replied in all seriousness. “They’re classified into fish we eat and fish we don’t eat!”
This is hilarious and also probably closest to my relationship with fish. 
“Are you grasping all this, Ned my friend?” asked the scholarly Conseil.
“Not a lick of it, Conseil my friend,” the harpooner replied. “But keep going, because you fill me with fascination.”
This is so cute! Ned just enjoying listening to Ned go on and on about his current obsession. This is the heights of friendship!
In short, he was the exact opposite of the Canadian, who knew nothing about classification but could instantly put a name to any fish.
Like I said narrative foils! I love when books instantly affirm my ideas. 
“A triggerfish,” I said.
“It’s a Chinese triggerfish,” Ned Land replied.
“Genus Balistes, family Scleroderma, order Plectognatha,” Conseil muttered.
Ned identified the fish, Conseil classified them, and as for me, I was in ecstasy over the verve of their movements and the beauty of their forms. 
And here we have these three characters and their trio summed up perfectly.
...  I won’t mention every variety that passed before our dazzled eyes. 
But I will try my best to. *precedes to describe the varieties that passed before his eyes for paragraphs*
It consisted of turtle soup made from the daintiest hawksbill, a red mullet with white, slightly flaky flesh, whose liver, when separately prepared, makes delicious eating, plus loin of imperial angelfish, whose flavor struck me as even better than salmon.
I need someone to try making all of the food in 20,000 leagues because it all sounds so good and also fascinating? Some of the most unique meals I’ve ever read about.

Don't worry Fantasminha, I'm also kinda short(I'm something around 160cm I think this is about 5'2?) Some sea creaturea are just big I don't why I love this jellyfish drawing so much, I just do So... This was meant to turn qsmp characters into jellyfishs/sea animals... Uh... Ok, look, while the black sea nattle/black jellyfish(because of the black colour and light brown, wich I think is a bit red ish) made me think of bbh I discovered that bloodybelly comb jelly(Lampocteis) is a thing, THEY ARE SO PRETTY, LIKE, THEY GOT SUCH BEAUTIFUL COLOR(I still don't know if is "color" or "colour") Those are small tho, I think they maximus size is 16cm(6inches) and they live around 250-1500m(820-4,900feet), they are basically invisible in the depths beucase they are red, wich is the first wavelength of absorved as you decend in the deep sea And hear me out, there's this jellyfish... Cyanea lamarcki, also known as blue jellyfish or bluefire jellyfish, they tend to be pale in appearance when young, but mature to have a brightly purple-blue (some yellow) colored bell. At first I thought of Jaiden because of the purple-blue colours, but the ones with more yellow makes me think of Pac, but I got more Jaiden vibes.
But I also found out about the flower hat jelly(Olindias formosus) that is a species of hydromedusas(although they look like a jellyfish, they actually belong in the class Hydrozoa, while true jellyfish belong in class Scyphozoa). And I've found some photos of them being blue wich I'm going to assume is becaume of bioluminescence. So perhaps Pac? Oh, and they are found off of southern Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. -Plate anon
omg bbh as a black sea nettle…. and what if dapper was a bloodbelly comb jelly…
FLOWER HAT JELLY IS ONE OF THE CUTEST NAMES EVER ;—-; Pac can be one of those since theyr found near Brazil so it fits kekw then jaiden can be a bluefire jelly
