Corythosaurus Common name: 'Duck Billed' Dinosaur Size: up to 9 m (30 ft) long Age: Upper Cretaceous (77 – 75.7 million years ago) Geographic range: North America Liked: Chatting Disliked: Swimming Taxonomy: Animalia > Chordata > Dinosauria > Ornithischia > Hadrosauridae Affectionately known as the 'Duck Billed Dinosaur', this big herbivore was a communicator. It had a large, bony crest on its head, which amplified its voice, and well-developed ears adapted for hearing low sounds, which allowed to to hear about as well as a modern crocodile (... quite well!). The shape of its scull meant that it would have had a low voice, and differences in the shape of the bony crest on its skull meant that different species of Corythosaur would have had distinctive calls. Its loud voice and good hearing might have allowed groups of Corythosaurs to warn each other of predators, let each other know about food, plot their escape from Jurassic park, and plan to take over the world... you know, dinosaur things. We know a remarkable amount about Corythosaurus, because we have a lot of very well preserved fossils. Some even have the remnants of the dinosaur's last meal in its stomach - conifer needles, seeds, twigs and fruits. Despite all these skeletons, scientists once thought that Corythosaurus was at least partly aquatic, because it appeared to have webbed feet. It turned out that this 'webbing' was actually 'padding', and that Corythosaurus is actually more of a long-distance runner than a swimmer. - OB Images: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/冠龍屬 https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Corythosaurus_Hendrickx2.jpg

Commander Katabasis's "encouragement"

[justanothersquidblog]

Chorda Katabasis?

Okay so! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back I had a funny inside joke relating to one of my fics where Dedf1sh was implied to be the commander of the octo girls group.

However as of Side Order, I scrapped that since the Dedf1sh in my head and au was DEF not gonna be like the canon one.

So! I created Chorda! Or, Chord. She is the character replacement of that role in the octo girls's lives.

She was once a very skilled and stern leader. Middle aged- serious. Despite being quite emotionally disconnected from the group, Chorda was able to lead them into following her orders one way or another- like how a parent negotiates with her different kids on why they should do what she says yknow?

To Ingrid, she provided her lots of things to do and treated her like a second in command- which boosted Ingrid's obedience since she wanted to be seen as a good and reliable soldier.

To Mira, she didn't humor any of her attempts at slyness and never gave her any reaction if she frustrated her- which made Mira bored of trying to make her annoyed and would begrudgingly follow orders.

To Sasha, she gave a decent amount of attention. Sasha wants praise and for someone to appreciate her- so Chorda also gave her lots of things to do so she could be rewarded with attention and "You did a good job."

To Cynthia, she recognized her natural affinity for agility and would push her towards doing things to use her more effectively.

She used all of them very efficiently as a leader, using their flaws and strengths the best she could as a squad- but she never really addressed their issues or insecurities or tried to fix the hurt in them. She just, used what she had and stayed as unpersonal as possible.

It made leaving them in the dead of the night a bit easier for her during the Inkantation- when she was struck with the memory of who she truly failed. Someone very far away... and who Chorda wanted to reunite with at all costs...

...Only to fall, alone, into the Deep Sea Metro.

Katabasis; a journey to the underworld.

Who was Chorda trying to search for?

Oh yknow

the splatlandian octo lady she accidentally knocked up during a distant mission and had a summer fling with

nothing major

So what happened to Katabasis once she fell into the metro?

She got sanitized, and spent Many years down there before well OE where she eventually, slowly, made her way to the surface. And when I mean slowly I mean SLOWLY. Because she only just about made it there in time for Side Order.

Eventually she went through the Orderland Program, gained her memories back, annnnnnnd booked it to the Splatlands to finish the business she ran away for.

✦ Caduceus as a symbol of trade, eloquence and unity. ✦ The history of the dynasty is a mixture of high ambitions, interstellar treaties, family intrigues and broken vows. ✦ Their palaces are spacious pavilions with galleries featuring engravings of glorious deeds, lucrative deals and treasuries containing shameful origins, family secrets. ✦ In clothing, they prefer to wear stylized naval fashion, either in uniforms or dresses decorated with medals, ribbons and religious symbols. ✦ At the waist, they carry daggers, rapier and revolvers with ornate engraved initials. ✦ They are masters of trade and ruthless diplomats, capable of turning threats into agreements and conflicts to their advantage. ✦ Their skillful financial management and lack of remorse in shadow trading have made them an influential family in the Calixis Sector. ✦ They are always honest and courageous in their judgments about others. But the interlocutor should not provoke them to gossip, otherwise he will be shocked by what they think of him. ✦ They leave behind a scent of aristocratic contempt. ✦ But beneath their outward superiority, pain and despair. They are not immune to failure and the intricacies of internal conspiracies — and all the blame falls on sibling envy. ✦ "What is that mangy sheep doing in the portrait next to me?" "This is your sister, Your Grace…" ✦ Due to the numerous legitimate and illegitimate heirs from the previous patriarch, two factions formed in the dynasty, calling themselves "the Vipers" and "the Harpies" in honor of the insulting nicknames of the main contenders for the throne of the Rogue Trader - Aspis and Incendia.
