tumblr used to be a high throughput reef ecosystem but then they banned titties and now we’re like an ecosystem in the abyssal sea floor just quietly chugging along, cycling through nutrients at a much slower rate.

then every once in a while a some huge news comes along like queendeath and it’s like a whale fall, we come crawling out of the woodwork like isopods, hagfish, and burrowing worms to feast on the memes for years

it’s been almost two years since destiel-putin-election and we still linger around those bones like limpets

extremely cool news - i'm one of the designers in meow wolf denver's first fashion show!!! this get up is based on whale falls and ocean trash, and made up of entirely secondhand materials - many of which i actually picked up as litter. super excited to get to attend the show and see this piece walk in it later this month!!!

I think it’s cool that whale fall is a special term for a corpse. When we see roadkill we don’t call it “skunk fall”. There is a special kind of reverence in the surge of life that occurs after the death of a whale. I wonder if deep sea creatures, hidden from the warm touch of sunlight, are honoured to be able to feast on the rotting flesh of a fallen god

The Mermaid Fall, 2019. This cetacean carcass was found during a seafloor expedition near Puerto Rico. Some have called it a "mermaid" owing to its strikingly humanoid features, but biologists claim its heavily decomposed state cannot offer a positive identification.

Okay now I really want to see Demersa's hadal Bibby form 🤣 like how JRPG final bosses used to go through normal form > monster form > vaguely abstract angelic form

I'm not sure what it Would look like, but for the funsies, I cooked these thematically similar bibbys, cooked em up digimon style, fun results but I wandered off pretty fast and didn't quite nail the actual assignment in my mind, I'll have to try again later,
