Hi, all.

Back in February I made a post asking for financial help regarding me needing to move out on a tight schedule. I appreciate everyone donated then, and you all made a huge difference. I was very close to getting an apartment when I got laid off at the end of June.

Now I am looking at a situation where I could be homeless. I could also end up finding a temporary place, but it would only be short term, and I am still working towards finding a place to live. Due to being laid off my finances have been strained.

I managed to get a job with retail, but it's going to be a while before I start. I've continued with selling off more of my magic cards, clothes, jewelry and collectibles. Tomorrow I hope to sell more. If you're interested in that, please reach out. Or, if you want, I can write you something.

Otherwise: If anyone can donate... any help, I'd appreciate it. If you can't, a reblog would be appreciated, too.

according to An Immense World, apparently giant squid eyes are, like, UNREASONABLY large, even for something their size living at those depths. the next largest eyes on earth, blue whale eyes, are less than half the size, and swordfish, who live at similar depths as giant squid and have the largest eyes of any fish, have eyes that could fit inside a giant squid's pupil.

eyes hit serious diminishing returns wrt resource costs vs vision quality as they get bigger, so the question became: what the FUCK do giant (and colossal) squid need to see so badly that they couldn't see with swordfish-sized eyes that's justifying that massive energy cost? that nothing else in the deep ocean needs to see so fucking badly??

turns out the one strength eyes that big really have over much smaller eyes is: seeing large glowing objects in water deeper than 500 meters from an appreciable distance.

sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid. sperm whales don't glow. BUT! water that deep is full of bioluminescent creatures-- these creatures light up when bumped into. something a sperm whale's size is continuously bumping into those critters, it's just surrounded by a glowing field all the time when it's swimming at those depths, visible from a distance-- if you have the right eyes-- as a massive glowing shape. so basically the only reason to have eyes the size of soccer balls is if you live in the deep ocean and your life depends on having a heads up when a hungry sperm whale lurking around

and also I gotta say, the imagery... the huge lurking threat betrayed only by the ambiguous glowing shape of its movements through the water, is really evocative, if spooky deep-sea games aren't already using that to make things extremely ominous then they should really start

It’s mentioned (correct me if I’m wrong) that inkbrushes need to be repaired after 10 uses, is this the case for all brushes? Also, do certain weapons need to on occasion undergo repairs?

just the tube needs to be replaced. other brush weapons dont have tubes so probably not like any piece of equipment with multiple parts, surely all weapons would have the potential to break and/or would need maintenance, repairs, or part replacements. inkbrush is just a rare example where we're told exactly what kind of thing gets repaired/replaced on a weapon

dynamo also needs to be oiled on the regular too!

I couldn't find an official translation so forgive me but it says

"Sometimes we have to look at things that aren't cute and make us uncomfortable."

"Because I don't really understand it."

"Because it has nothing to do with me."

"Because it just feels unpleasant."

"If we keep turning a blind eye like that until we can't see anything anymore, then eventually even the cute things will disappear."
