Animal Crossing Fish - Explained #212
Brought to you by a marine biologist and the Kraken itself...
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
I’ll admit I was saving this one. I liked the theme I had going starting and ending the original Fish Explained and the Museum Tour series with the deep sea. Except, now ACPC has bestowed upon us another denizen of the deep, so I want to cover this one RIGHT NOW SO BAD. It’s the Giant Squid!
Tumblr media
The giant squid first appeared in ACPC for the Fishing Tourney #41 in August 2021. The theme was “the deep sea”, but besides the giant squid itself, nothing else about it really screamed “deep sea” to me, but I’m also obnoxious. Anyway -
The Giant Squid is giant and also a squid - it’s in Phylum Mollusca with our other mollusk friends in the games, like the vampire squid, the clam, etc. It’s an incredibly diverse group - just the fact that cephalopods - the class within Mollusca that includes the squid, nautilus, and octopus, the latter of which are lauded as the smartest invertebrates - are related to bivalves (not known at all for any thought) is astonishing to me. What complexity! 
Squid differ from octopuses in a number of ways, but most strikingly in the arrangement of their arms, of which they have 8, and two tentacles which are usually longer than the arms, and distinguished by only have suckers at the very end. And I mention that because the Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) is one of the largest invertebrates by length because of its two long tentacles. Females of the species have been estimated to grow to a maximum total length of 43 ft (13m), with males falling a bit shorter. It’s perhaps the most famous example of deep-sea gigantism, along with the giant isopod. Despite how big this thing is, the thing it’s most notorious for, besides the size, is its elusiveness.
Tumblr media
By http://www.pref.kyoto.jp/kaiyo/2-topicnews/news/2002/02-02-01/mega-squid/mega-squid-01.html (web archive: [2]), Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6280565. "Copyright (C) Kyoto Prefecture"
The picture above should give you an idea of how big this thing is (there’s a person above it). This is also the very first photo of a live specimen ever photographed, which was captured in 2002. Up until that point, giant squid were rarely seen washed up on shore or as bits and pieces within the guts of deceased Sperm Whales. There was a great effort in the 1990′s to find live specimens, especially those in their natural habitat, to learn anything about them.  
Tumblr media
By Report in The Wall Street Journal, 28 December 2015 (full size image); image was auto-normalized in GIMP., Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=62371432. Original copyright for this image belongs to Mizuhashi Fisherina, Toyama.
(^Here’s another great image to show you the massive size of just the mantle, on a juvenile, taken at the surface in 2015.) In 2004, the very first video of an adult giant squid in its natural habitat was filmed. I actually remember when that happened; it was a huge sensation in the marine bio world. Since then, a couple dozen giant squid have been found, and we have learned a lot about them - like that they have a worldwide distribution, they have a complex nervous system with a big brain, and it’s prey consists of deep sea fish and other squid species it ensnares with its long tentacles and uses its powerful beak to hold and crush them. They also have more predators than just the Sperm Whale, including pilot whales and sleeper sharks. Unfortunately, it’s really, really difficult to learn more about them without expensive equipment and dedication, since their habitat is at such dark, crushing depths. (If you wanna learn more about why we know more about the Moon than the deep sea, take the Museum Tour into The Abyss).Luckily, they sometimes wash ashore or come to the surface or end up in fishing gear, but, that can’t confirm or tell us as much as we’d like to know, like their behavior, if they have migration patterns, their reproduction habits and cycle, etc.
Although the Giant Squid may be the largest mollusk by length, it’s beat out in the weight department by the equally elusive and fascinating Colossal Squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). These two squid are big, intimidating, and rarely seen - a perfect combination to spark lasting tales of the Kraken in our history and stories. 
And there you have it! Fascinating stuff, no?

Weird stories I remember reading online:
A dude starts a story about airsoft with "my great-grandma was a contortionist in a circus. This will be relevant later." And then he starts explaining about this challenge that was played out at his local airsoft field, essentially two-team capture the flag, where both teams could move their flags around their own respective fortresses and hideouts, but with specific rules to make it harder to keep the flag location hidden from the enemy.
And this guy happened to spot the enemy team moving their flag (I think you needed to have 3 players of the team to move your own flag or something), and saw them taking the flag to one large-ish shack with only one entrance. This guy circles the shack several times but can't find any other entrance, only a narrow opening in one wall that's clearly intended to just let in sunlight, and allow people to shoot out of the building or try to shoot in. The enemy team has left this room unguarded, it's upstairs and the flag is held downstairs.
They don't consider it an entrance that should be guarded because no ordinary man could reasonably enter through it. But our hero here is not an ordinary man. He's hyperflexible, and not the first in his family to use their genetic loose joints in their advantage. So this guy reaches in, and carefully puts his gun on the floor. He takes off his coat and belt, and put them inside, too. He even removes his shoes. And then he dislocates his fucking shoulder, in order to squeeze through a hole that people shouldn't fit through.
Once inside, he manages to get his shoulder back on the right way, takes a moment to recover, gets himself geared back up, and sneaks downstairs to fire three unsuspecting enemy teammates in the back, capturing the flag and winning the game. From their point of view, this guy had just manifested out of thin fucking air.
Having been the key to winning this challenge, in a feat that seemed downright impossible, the guy was asked to explain how. So he told them of the squid-like squeezing feat. While everyone was impressed, he was the reason why the field got a new rule: no limb dislocation allowed. Also there's now a bar in the middle of the previous slipping slot, barring any new attempts.
And that's how a circus contortionist's great-grandson got "All team members' ligaments must be kept at their intended locations during the whole game" added to the rule list of an airsoft field.

i am new to the splatoon community, could you explain the origins of splat tim? i see him everywhere and i wonder what he truly does
so back in the splatoon 1 days, there was a cats vs. dogs splatfest. the squid research lab posted this promo image for the fest
Tumblr media
now, much like the modern era, no one cares about the catgirls. its all about the dogboys. on july 6th 2015, instagram user marble.soda posted the very first depiction of tim, though he was unnamed
eleven days later, on july 11th, twitter user cloesy (who has since deactivated or changed usernames, because the old link to the tweet is broken) reposted marble's image with the first instance of the name "splat tim"
Tumblr media
finally, on august 3rd, twitter user mcbedtime (whose tweet still exists as of posting this) tweeted the first instance of the "he does it" catchphrase with a mockup game cover for splat tim
Tumblr media
from there on, he began to spread. twitter, instagram, tumblr, reddit, deviantart- he does it any and everywhere. such is the story of our hero, splat tim

can i request three somehow forced into a fake dating situation
Three stares directly into Martyn’s eyes. They are blue and of an average size. It feels as though maybe this should be against the rules, but according to the book it had read, this was… normal. A normal thing to do on a date. Look deeply into someone’s eyes. It would not be suspicious at all, even though Three isn’t really sure how to look more or less deeply into anyone’s eyes at all. Eyes are not flat, but even when Three Looks, it isn’t as though there is anything interesting in there.
Martyn is sweating somewhat. He looks away first.
Three’s pretty sure this counts as a victory, especially given Martyn can’t see Three’s face behind the mask anyway. It is good Three has now won the game of ‘staring lovingly into its date’s eyes’, because that had been a strange, threatening mortal ritual. It would rather not do that again.
“Haha, thanks again for agreeing to this date,” Martyn says, very suspiciously looking around the small cafe in a bustling semi-private Origins server. “It’s been so long since we’ve gotten to hang out like this. Gods, do I sound stupid.”
“You do,” Three says.
“You don’t have to answer those,” Martyn says.
“Will comply,” Three says.
“Oh, for the love of—we’re on a date. A date!” Here, Martyn winks obnoxiously. “It’s not a mission.” He winks obnoxiously again. “Besides, you should lighten up!”
“Will comply,” Three says.
“You know, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was,” Martyn says cheerfully. “Anyway, I should order us some drinks! Have some conversation! Keep an eye out around us, yeah, for our waiter?”
“You are not very subtle,” Three says.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Martyn says. “Besides, honestly? I am really glad to just hang out with you. Because we’re dating! On this server for fancy couples. Yep.”
The problem is, of course, that a fancy origins server is a great place for the strangest of people to hide.
When Martyn had asked a favor, Three had been… uncertain. This was not because Three doesn’t care for Martyn—it does, greatly—or because Three didn’t want to see Martyn—they’d met up a few times before now, tentative and quiet and frustrated and all the things that were hard to explain, and then in all the ways they were okay again—but because Martyn, for all Three cares for him, is still an idiot.
Three is its own handler, now. It does not have to follow handlers that are morons. It had told Martyn this. When Martyn had stopped wheezing, he’d explained that it’d be fun. Not Listener business, he promised; he still hadn’t quite gotten out, but he wouldn’t drag Three in, Scout’s honor.
(Three believes him. It’s never been that Three doesn’t trust him.)
It was a friend of Martyn’s that had gone missing. Apparently, on some fancy modded server? And now, Martyn wanted Three to come help him do some recon because, quote, “Jimmy laughed at me until he cried and that hurt me a little bit, not going to lie, and I’ve used up the favors Ren owes me, and Oli was busy. Have you met Oli? You’d like Oli.”
(Three did not like Oli.)
Three agreed, despite its better judgement. The reason it thought this may be a poor plan was because—
“Ah, the lovely Valentines,” the waiter says. He gives them a plate of lovely heart-shaped calamari. Three wonders if they had belonged to heart-shaped squid. “It’s a lovely evening, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s wonderful here with my beloved!” Martyn says.
The waiter and Martyn both look at Three. Three doesn’t say anything and sits perfectly still.
“Um,” the waiter says.
“It’s for a health condition,” Martyn says, which technically isn’t a lie.
“Very well, sirs, although it may get in the way of the kissing competition!”
Martyn, who had just started sipping some wine, chokes on it.
“I will win the kissing competition,” Three says.
Martyn chokes harder.
“I will see you to it!” the waiter says. “And of course, our patented species comparability exam is the highlight of the evening.”
“Oh. I am not sure I can produce viable offspring,” Three says.
The waiter stares at Three. Three stares back, although not into the waiter’s eyes, as to not cause any confusion. The mask somewhat prevents that from working, though.
“Very well then,” the waiter says. “I suppose just—do you need help?”
“It knows what it’s doing,” Martyn hisses.
“I did do research before coming here,” Three says.
“I’ll just head on,” the waiter says, in a tone that suggests to Three that maybe it did not do enough research before agreeing to help Martyn.
Oh well.
At least the mask means it doesn’t have to keep a straight face as it picks Martyn off the ground and, completely flat in tone, says: “Do not die. I would be sad if you died of something as stupid as choking on wine.”
“I asked for this,” Martyn says.
“Yes,” Three says. “You did. That is why I am here.”
(Beneath the table, it grabs Martyn’s hand. Martyn squeezes Three’s hand back. It had missed him, though. For all they do not see each other often—)
(Well. It had missed him, though.)

Ossan's Love Returns episode 9 eng sub
Tumblr media
We did it! This is the last episode! This project started out of personal dissatisfaction because the subs behind a paywall did not pass the vibe check. I'm gonna miss these characters and trying to find voices for them, but I'm relieved to have been able to finish what I started. I hope this little project of mine has been able to bring some cheer to someone's day.
Having said that, I'm going to sub the two spin-off episodes too so we're not fully done here yet, haha. In the meantime, thank you for this nine-episode ride!
Notes for the episode below the cut.
Previous episodes, welcome on board: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8
Episode 9
RAW
subtitle
Do not reupload to any streaming sites. Please refrain from posting the links in public outside of tumblr.
Notes
There were once again numerous puns, word plays and funny expressions in this episode, I did my best. The squid game one was impossible however so I've explained it in the subs.
Pokapoka: Onomatopoeia for something that's nice and warm, such as a mild sunny day. I feel like this line lost some of its charm in English unfortunately. :(
Haganezawa Iruka: Iruka means dolphin. This character has a painfully fake American accent. Okagesamade: "Thanks to you", but it's only a pleasantry, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.
The book Maika is reading is titled Heya to Y-setsu to watashi, Room and Y-setsu and Me. Y-setsu is code for waisetsu which means pornography lol.
The Japanese title for My Neighbour Totoro is Tonari no totoro, next-door totoro.
Makkuro kurosuke are the soot sprites seen in Ghibli's films.
Engacho: Maki does this to Kurosawa. It's something kids do after touching something disgusting.
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions! I'm always here to talk about Japanese language or cultural things!

Animal Crossing Fish Dish Friday - #3
Brought to you by a marine biologist who isn't that brave...
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
Squid Ink Spaghetti
Tumblr media
In ACNH: 1. Get the recipe by catching a Squid. 2. Then cook on a stove with 3 Flour and 1 Squid.
In Real Life: from Sicily, Italy
Species of Choice: Cuttlefish (Ink). You heard that right - many brands of "squid ink", now called Cephalopod Ink (because that sounds so delicious /s ), is actually extracted from Cuttlefish. Apparently, other cephalopods have more mucus in their ink. But yeah, you can buy ink in a jar.
Other Ingredients: -Your favorite long pasta -Squid (whatever species is local to you or you can get at your local fish monger) -Spices: Salt, Parsley, Garlic (in cloves chopped up), Red Pepper Flakes -white wine for cooking
-> Recipe + serve with veggies or salad on the side.
I personally don't have a good relationship with squid ink. When I worked as an observer, my gear was constantly covered in squid ink, especially in the summer when the squid were running thick and the guys were really going for them. Let me tell you to NEVER EVER let ink sit out in a hot car - the smell is worse than any dead fish. That explains why I may never try this myself - I am scarred, I think.
Tumblr media
The recipe above is a bit different from what I think ACNH was going for. In many instances, "black spaghetti" is made by mixing the ink directly into the pasta dough. However, since we live in the US, that may be hard to come by at the store and I don't expect any of you, myself included, to make fresh pasta (if you do, that's extremely cool of you). So yeah, this is a recipe in which you make the squid ink *sauce* to put on your pasta, kind of like how you would throw tomato sauce on top. I'm told the ink tastes earthy and "like the ocean", which is great when paired with other seafood you can throw into this recipe, like shrimp or scallops, if you're into it.
And yes, if you're so inclined, squid ink was once used as actual ink for writing and such, so you can also make art with it I suppose. Probably best to look up how to do that before making art that also smells bad. :)
Tumblr media
All Cephalopods, except for a choice few, like the Nautilus and some deep sea octopuses, like the Vampire Squid, make ink. They have a special ink sac near their gills that, when threatened, they can squirt out the ink like a smokescreen. The ink spreads in the water with help from water jet propulsion of their siphon during their getaway. They also use their ink for other purposes, like dying their eggs a dark color to hide them from predators, or use it offensively when fending off egg-snatchers. The main component of the ink is melanin, which is a common pigment found in many species of animal (including humans). Ink is extracted from dead cephalopods (most likely to be eaten in the above dish or something like it) by removing the ink sac and draining it.
Different families of Cephalopod have different color inks! Which I didn't know either until today! Octopuses typically have black ink, squid have a bluish-black ink, and cuttlefish have a dark brown ink, or "sepia". I can't believe it's taken me this long to talk about squid ink OTL.
And there you have it! Bon appetite!
