Spotted: Deep-sea besties doing deep-sea things 🐙💞⁠

Grimpoteuthis octopuses use the movement of their large fins and arms to propel themselves through the water. They are affectionately called the "dumbo" octopuses because of those flapping fins. This group of octopuses is typically found on or near the deep seafloor, where they use finger-like cirri on their arms to catch small crustaceans, worms, and other prey items.⁠ ⁠ The seafloor squish next to this cutie pie cephalopod is a sea pig (Scotoplanes sp.). Sea pigs are one of the most commonly sighted animals on the deep seafloor off Monterey Bay. Unlike most sea cucumbers, which have stumpy tube feet tucked beneath their bodies, sea pigs use their long, stilt-like tube feet to suspend their bodies above the soft mud.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

venndaai

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

Intro Post

Microsoft Paint Fan Adventures. Dear god, where do I even begin to describe such a website? If you're here, then you're probably already familiar with the chaotic beautiful wild west of creativity and shitpostery that is mspfa.com. To call it a "fanfic site" would be a horrible oversimplification of what it truly is, because I think it goes beyond the confines of homestuck fandom. To me, mspfa.com is a living piece of old internet culture, indie webcomic culture, and above everything, the general attitude of "well, I had a hyperspecific fixation on an idea and nobody said no, and so I just started writing?". In the hellish algorithm-ruled online landscape of the late 2020s, the site really stands out as a weird pixelated cube shaped oasis of adults and teens alike creating goofy-as-hell multimedia webcomics that don't adhere to any regular comic standards. Indeed, here live the webcomics that aren't constrained to speech bubbles, and aren't afraid to have tons and tons of *words* in them. This is where long rambling conversations between characters live, and shameless dumps of exposition are welcomed. The fact that the site calls them "Adventures" instead of "Comics" says alot about how much they pretty much feel like their own distinct medium.

I've found that I really enjoy looking for the hidden gems in this space!

Yes- though there are many ongoing works on there that deserve some serious literary praise, alot of them scarcely receive it due to how buried into web they can be. To me, however, that kind of just adds to the thrill of finding them. Discovering a new Adventure I really like always brings me great joy. It has a way of renewing my curiosity about what storytelling can do, and gives me a sense of appreciation for the fellow human being somewhere in the world making it.

So today I was like "well shoot, if I so much to say about some of these, why don't I write it down somewhere? Not only would it help me take in more cool stuff to analyze, but I'm pretty sure it would help someone feel perceived?"

As a pretty unknown webcomic creator on mspfa myself, I know how rough it can feel to work so hard on something you love so much and have it feel invisible. While I'm lucky that my passion doesn't hinge on getting people's attention (trust me, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from creating even if no one else on earth existed to see it) , that doesn't stop the peculiar loneliness of the situation from hurting, sometimes. And yet, strangely, that struggle is what makes the fleeting moments of connection all the more magical. So there you have it, a long winding rambling explanation of how this blog came to be. If you want me to check out your MSPFA webcomic, please let me know!

The legend of zelda truly is all about being trapped in cycle of anguish, violence and despair and still playing music with friends and helping a yeti make soup for his sick wife and playing with the village kids and rounding up cuccoos and delivering milk and giving fish to cats and helping a couple get married and being alone
