wine dark skies | asphodel: definitive edition | animal rites

Asphodel is. Fine. It’s a miracle it’s not worse tbh

#I did start writing it a decade ago #the re-edit did a lot but I was surprised how little of those first chapters I had to change #I’ve been re-reading my own stuff today and just thinking #yowza #about my growth as a writer #had a piece I used to be so proud of and now I’m just like. man. really not fond of this anymore.#just felt like a first draft. which it was.#and that one got published! fucking why #I had much better ones that didn’t get published #oh well #grayson.txt

I’m making money moves (spent $10 on fiverr for someone to make a logo for my website)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, CRUSTACEAN.

There's a different species of barnacle, Sacculina, that parasitizes crabs in a similar way to this. It has a very cursed lifecycle and I assume the crab is also having a weird time.

I think i've heard of this one.

I just looked it up—it injects itself into the crab's body and replaces the crab's genitals with itself, grows roots into the crab's organs (including its brain), and controls the crab's behaviors so the crab will take care of the Sacculina larvae as a female crab would its own babies—if the crab is male, the Sacculina parasite will make the crab's body produce female hormones to basically change it to female.

This is so cool...how did this even develop? How did the parasite evolve to do that? How ancient would this relationship have to be for something so complex to form?
