I love contemplating how actually scary this is. Nothing in horror movies affects me anymore but I get the most wonderful chills from the idea of these beautiful, haunting, mindless things just hovering in this murky water like a minefield for anyone foolish enough to go swimming or unlucky enough to fall in. How it’s still not as bad as being a fish small enough for them to paralyze and consume. How they regularly paralyze and consume fish but evolved before anything like a fish ever existed. A fish is such a complex creature that can see and think and navigate and be afraid but sometimes it touches these brainless, boneless, ghostly things that were just already there, millions of years sooner, and it dies and it never understands why that is. The thing that killed it and ate it doesn’t know either, it doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t have enough of a brain to even realize it has killed and eaten something. Some of its cells simply fired little harpoons into the cells of the other thing, and squirted deadly chemicals into them, and hauled up the paralyzed body to digest it. It’s a spider’s web without a spider but it still fills things with venom and eats them. :)

Hey now, Jellyfish may not be smart, but they’re not entirely mindless. People say that they don’t have brains, but that’s because they’re ALL brain. they are just floating nervous systems, covered in microscopic eyeballs that let them see in every direction.

as I type this, I realize that that makes them sound so much more horrifying.

Thank you for adding to the horror

Been thinking about this post. Jellyfish see and know without thinking. They’re barely autonomous, largely depending on the current. They are mostly water – moreso than most (all?) other living things. Most sea jellies are as simple as an animal can get before it might have to be classified as a fungus. But they persist. They live in a world that has seen countless other more specialized, more complex, and more ecologically diverse life rise and fall. But they persist.

There are sea jellies that are genetically less related to each other than, say, humans are to insects or cephalopods (or even some sea jellies). Animals whose most recent common ancestor may have been the first animal. But morphologically, they’re nigh indistinguishable. Brutal, deadly, hungry, knowing but unthinking life, perfected eons ago.
