Writing prompt:

There are things that man was not meant to know. Luckily, you are a woman.

It has historically been the case that while loopholes and ambiguities are primarily utilized by those who created them, notable exceptions do occur.

Some are better known than others. This story regards a very secret one, hidden not by mundane obscurity but the fantastical esotericism of the topic.

Francessca had heard of the trick in a chatroom. One filled with true believers in the arcane, and those who posed as such for their own comedic pursuits. While initially the latter, she'd been frog-boiled and echo-chambered into the former.

It's fortunate she was right, or this would have been a duller, sadder story.

Most of those famous in the field had been men, yes, but they had put up safeguards. Some because they feared rivals, some because they felt even themselves barely trustworthy.

But a safeguard is only as good as the mind which conceives it, constrained by worldview. If a curse goes "Let no man read," or "Cursed be he," or whatnot, she needn't worry. Aside from that, many of the strangely beard-focused punishments were also irrelevant.

For those in the know, when she popped up on the news after having summoned a terrible squid-thing, you didn't have to be a Nostradumbass to figure out what had happened.

I see you have encountered your first gimmick blog, official Pokemon tumblr account. A gimmick blog is an account that does one very specific thing. The gimmick blog you have encountered is of the detector type. This means it reblogs random posts, and checks to see if it has a specific thing. It reblogs the post with an image, containing the thing the blog is detecting, with a check mark over it if it has the thing it is searching for, and an x or crossed out circle over it if it does not. This specific blog searches for Bronzong. This post does not have Bronzong, so the account replied with a crossed out image of it.

Will this appease the gimmick blog?

Spotted: Adorable baby deep-sea squid! 🥰

During a recent scientific cruise aboard MBARI’s research vessel Rachel Carson, biologists from our education and conservation partner, @montereybayaquariumonterey, encountered a baby glass squid (family Cranchiidae). MBARI’s remotely operated vehicle Ventana filmed this little squid bobbing along in the water column 475 meters (1,558 feet) underwater in Monterey Bay.

Distinguishing juvenile glass squids from video alone can be challenging. Most of their identifying features are too small to see even with a high-resolution 4K camera. Experts in MBARI’s Video Lab suspect this individual was a juvenile cockatoo squid (Galiteuthis phyllura), but without collecting the animal, they cannot be entirely sure. 

The squid observed by Aquarium biologists was a paralarva, a planktonic juvenile stage between a hatchling and an adult. Glass squids undergo several remarkable transformations as they grow older. In the paralarva stage, they have distinctive, long, stalked eyes. As adults, their eyes are large and often have a bioluminescent light organ that masks the squid’s silhouette from predators hunting below. Learn more on our website.

[squid-detector]

Wow!
