The Creature Awaits #156:
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

The Yellow-lipped Sea Krait
Scientific Name: Laticauda colubrina
Region: Throughout the Indo-Pacific
Size: Males are about 2'10" (~86.4cm) long, while females approach double their length at about 4'8" (~142.2cm) long
Interesting Notes: The deadly neurotoxic venom of this beautiful sea snake can cause muscle damage, hypertension, seizures, kidney failure and cyanosis...and a plethora of other potential symptoms, though the actual bite may not hurt or swell at first.... So, if you are bitten by one, please seek help immediately whether you feel different at first or not!
However, they will not usually bite unless provoked, so this is definitely one of those creatures best admired from afar.
Plastic has a negative charge, mercury has a positive charge. Opposites attract so the mercury sticks. The fish eat the plastic, then we eat the fish.

❛ Do you like what you see? ❜ Elise practically purrs out, doing half a twirl in the new outfit Tianna had recently provided her with, just to show it off on her curves. / Burlesque.
in tianna’s imagination, elise was already established as a gorgeous being but as expected, reality is a whole different thing.
perfection, nothing less.
❝ of course. all is as it should be. ❞ the corner of her lips tug a small smile, quite satisfied by the other’s achievements and unique beauty. it is akin to dressing a pretty doll up, and be proud of the final result. she simply cannot get enough of those small, harmless experiments.
when elise’s face was disfigured and scarred from her poison, vladimir warped his own to resemble his monstrous form: gray, wrinkled, leathery skin, with small beady red eyes and barbed tick-like fangs. just so that she didn’t feel quite so alone among the black rose’s society of young and beautiful elites.
but then the few months passed and elise’s face was healed and vladimir kept his until his next slumber cycle. he was rather fond of it.
@neurotoxic said : Elise takes Kayn’s face in her slender hands, then kisses him softly. She draws away with a faint bite to his lip. ( Flip a coin to see if your muse gets poisoned! )
𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐄’𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐊𝐀𝐘𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 or protest. Her touch is soft enough against his skin that he doesn’t pull away : despite the confusion clouding his thoughts, his muscles sag slightly as he relaxes into the kiss. It’s rare someone treats him with gentleness; maybe the woman is a little strange, but then again, so is HE. She pulls away with a nipping bite, drawing a spot of blood on his lip : Kayn’s eyes open again to look up at her, silent in his curiosity & a faint spark of amusement trapped in his eyes. “ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕, 𝒉𝒎 ? ” His voice is teasing, tone silken & low. Their eyes lock together for a pause : enough time in quiet for Kayn to realize that something isn’t quite right. His head is swimming, but his confusion isn’t enough to cause it—he feels WOOZY.
KAYN. GET AWAY FROM HER.
A low rumble begins in the back of the assassin’s throat. Something is wrong here—& if Rhaast is certain enough of it to say so, then Kayn should take it seriously. He backs a few steps away from her, expression twisting into a grimace as his head begins to ache, his muscles to weaken. His grip tightens on the scythe, but he stumbles slightly & ends up leaning against the wall nearby. LEAVE, KAYN ! NOW ! Can’t. His voice escapes in an infuriated hiss. “ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐 ? ”
Okay, then I need to know Jarv's favorite way to hold hands.
the way to hands brush against each other, fingers slowly hooking before slipping away. each time, entwining further until they are threaded, palm against palm and walking together with a stolen and secret intimacy in the isolated depths of the gardens.
@neurotoxic asked: Elise takes Nami’s face in her slender hands, then kisses her softly. She draws away with a faint bite to her lip. ( Flip a coin to see if your muse gets poisoned! )
unprompted ask / ( always accepting!! )
( flipped the coin and i got crown xd )
IN THE MOMENT SHE TURNED AROUND TO CHANGE PATHS IN THE WOODS, the mermaid felt cold hands in both her human cheeks and to see a strange woman in front of her. Blinking in confusion because she has no idea who that woman is. Feeling sofly the woman‘s lips on hers---- that got Nami MORE CONFUSED with her actions. The bite on her lip, it really hurted and she could feel a small taste of blood in her mouth.
❝ Who---- Who are you....?? ❞
