There is a sUperorder of sea slUgs known as Sacoglossa. And. They are a very interesting species! One that is capable of ingesting the cellUlar contents of algae. ParticUlarly the chloroplasts. And. Incorporating it into their bodies so that they can perform photosynthesis. An animal capable of acting as a plant! ・・・𝛾
And now. To celebrate the new badge. A fact! One that might be common knowledge. BUt. Still interesting! CUttlefish have three hearts! ・・・𝛾
I have been reqUested to post an eel fact! So. Let's look at the garden eel! A very cUte species. They primarily live in bUrrows and poke their heads oUt of the sand. YoU will very rarely seen one's entire body! And. They live in large colonies! They can consist of Up to one thoUsand garden eels, and cover as large as one acre in sUrface area! ・・・𝛾
And. Before I leave to wander the beach. I will post a new animal fact! The oceanic manta ray is the largest non-lUsUs species of ray on the planet. It can grow Up to nine metres in length! Or. thirty feet. And. It also has the largest brain of any fish! ・・・𝛾

I think it's really fun to do the exact opposite of what someone wants if it's not hurting them.

NEW POLICY! Great news! This #Pride, the Gray House is expanding its outreach initiatives. All current Earth-C citizens and residents are now eligible for a monthly stipend of 1,500 Caegars if they are a member of the LGBTQIA*+ community. This policy will be put into effect immediately, and currently has no application deadline. Please note, all applications are processed manually via interns, so a delay of 1-3 minutes may be observed. We here at the Gray House understand times may be tough for some of you, and we want to give back the best we can in order to ensure your wellbeing. Advancements in payment may be requested, but are not guaranteed. (*NOTE: The "A" is representative of the Aromantic, Agender, and Asexual members of the community. It does not represent allies.)
Parrotfish feed off the algae growing on coral and rocks. Which means they're very important to reef ecosystems! By preventing algae overgrowth. And. RedistribUting coral sands. BUt also! After they digest the edible portions of rock. They process the non-edible portions and excrete it as sand. Some species of parrotfish can prodUce Up to 90kg of sand per year! Something to think aboUt. The next time yoU're on a beach. Haha. ・・・𝛾
FUn fact! Lionfish may be venomoUs. BUt! They are also edible if prepared correctly. In regions where they are an invasive species, eating them is very mUch encoUraged! SUpposedly they taste qUite bUttery! A food I woUld like to try in the fUtUre. If yoU cannot eat the king of the jUngle. Then. Try the lion of the sea! Haha. ・・・𝛾
A fUn fact! There are over three thoUsand known species of nUdibranch. And! All of them are cUte! ・・・𝛾
Hm! It has also been a while. Since I posted a fact! So. YoU might have heard the term "carcinisation" before. A form of convergent evolUtion in which non-crab crUstaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. This has occUrred at least five times! BecaUse of this. King crabs, porcelain crabs, hairy stone crabs, coconUt crabs, and the patagUrUs rex. Are all technically not "trUe crabs"! They are decapods independently evolved. And. Not part of the brachyUra infraorder. ・・・𝛾

always remember to go give youurself grace. mistakes are nnatuural they happenn. youuve got to keep goinng
Hermit crabs are very thoroUgh when they select a new shell to live in! It can be a lot of fUn watching them. They test for movability. A good textUre and external shape. A solid opening. EnoUgh room to fit inside and make qUick withdrawals if needed. And. They flip the shells over too! To make sUre they can be easily righted. Hermit crabs will also exchange shells with each other! Very cUte behavioUr. ・・・𝛾
BUsy, bUsy. So early in the evening! And yet. Trolls on the feed are already looking very bUsy. Some of yoU never seem to stop! MUch like the Great White Shark! As an obligate ram ventilator, some shark species like the Great White need to keep moving to let water past their gills. And. Extract its oxygen. The species that rarely rests! It can only Use cUrrents to its advantage to passively pUsh water aroUnd it. To enter a state similar to slUmber. ・・・𝛾
Ah. It has been a short while! Since I posted an animal fact. I have been distracted! With that memory box. Haha. So! It is cephalopod time once more! An octopUs' body is made of soft tissUe. Which can allow it to sqUeeze throUgh gaps as little as one inch in diameter. Their arms are also the most flexible in the animal kingdom! Sometimes I think it woUld be fUn. To sqUeeze into a tiny space. My own secret hideoUt! BUt. Alas. I am not that flexible. ・・・𝛾
I have been reading some recent scientific pUblications tonight. And. Discovered a new fact! PUfferfish are the only known species of bony fish capable of closing their eyes! BUt. Not becaUse they have eyelids. Like other species. Rather. They sink their eyeballs deep into their sockets and pUcker the skin sUrroUnding their eye together. Hm! That seems rather inefficient. BUt. If it works to protect the eye! Then. It is UsefUl. ・・・𝛾
It is also known that there are specific parasites that latch onto the eyes of Greenland Sharks. And. For a long time it was believed that the sharks were fUnctionally blind. As a resUlt of the parasites. BUt. Recent research has instead discovered that the sharks have a DNA repair mechanism that enables them to maintain their vision. With no signs of retinal degradation! Hm! If only oUr own species' vision did not degenerate either! Then. I woUld not need my reading glasses! Haha. ・・・𝛾
Speaking of memory! It is a common misconception that a goldfish's memory only lasts three seconds. In fact! StUdies have shown that goldfish memories can last weeks. Even perigees! In some cases. They have qUite good pattern recognition! ・・・𝛾
Hmm! I see! There is a Perigee of Pride! Happening now. Interesting! Well. I have already once mentioned that some animals can be "yaoi" or "yUri". So! Here is a fact aboUt one of them! Bottlenose dolphins can form male pair bonds with one another. These can last for a lifetime. And. Involve activities like hUnting and coUrting females together! ・・・𝛾
You are Profor Tempus! The somehow heirness of Alterina who is haunted by whatever your thinkpan can think of for what could go wrong. You enjoy a lot of things while shakily trying to make any form of change while not being haunted by the task of having to fight the Condesce. One such thing that you like is to write and to study history. This has come in handy many times when understanding one of your friends. It makes your gaps in knoweldge to be rather laughable. Your main other interest is music despite your horrible noise sensitivity and managed to learn the flute as well as singing. You have used this to soothe your lusus, Gl'bgolyb. Best known for being unable to raise you much in your youth due to the concept of crushing you as a grub and being a ticking time-bomb according to your own words despite how she cares in her own way about you. You tend to dream a lot of many different and increasing horrible fates for you to see and experience. Your distaste in violence is known over than your extreme pleasure in that very same topic. You are known to be quiet and often fearful of those who you rule over. Likely also that you are rather duty-focus despite your intense paranoia to leave your castle hive. You blush rather easily when stressed which you fear gives the wrong impression as well as your odd habits such as refusing to wear shoes and instead bandaging them in gauze, your rather matted hair that you pray that no one knows that your hair was once curly and you never learned to care for it, and your habit of writing notes down everywhere. Your rather feminine appearance according to some of them who know your face to be misleading- According to a few of them. You aren't quite sure if it is. You have also been told that your eyes seem like that you wear eyeliner.. You do not. You laughably aren't able to do that or many things. You are well aware of your role as sacrificial fodder to the Empress known as the Condesce for short. You are also quite sure that you may have several more issues as others seen to be able to live much easier than you. This makes you often wish that someone else was the heirness instead of yourself. You are SIGN OF THE ADJUSTER and unknowingly a Seer of Doom. Your ancestor was considered to be tragically slained many sweeps ago and it is even a shock that you were born if you remembered right. You can't quite grasp what their title was, so you instead call them the Adjuster. You aren't sure if you are a good heirness or a fuschia for that matter... #intro

JUST FOR A SECOND.

you all would be ready for this if you had to sit through mandatory peer support group 7 am 6 days a week 8 weeks total. you do kinda get your story down pat that way.
Hm. In the interest of singing in-tUne with the cUrrent feed. And. Noticing that there are a nUmber of people of the canine persUasion online. I think it is appropriate to share a fact aboUt the dogfish! Which. Are a an order of sharks. Highly migratory ones! One dogfish was tagged in the western region of Alternia. And then was tracked all the way to East Alternia. 8000km away! A marathon swimmer! ・・・𝛾
I feel fine now.. back to facts, shall we? Dolphins use pufferfish to get high. #substances #medicalfacts #animalfacts
ActUally! I have changed my mind. There is a fact I know aboUt mating! That is also YSFW ("Yes! Safe For Work". Is what that acronym means. Haha). It is the coUrtship ritUal of the white-spotted pUfferfish! The males of the species will spend over a week constrUcting elaborate geometric patterns in the sand. For the females to lay their eggs in. How amazing! I think little of love and coUrtship. BUt. Even I woUld be impressed! ・・・𝛾

Hey. <3 @caligvlasAqvarivm @tenaciousTheologist @guardedApathy [Attached is a photo. It's DiStri sitting at a table in an ice cream shop of no note. She is wearing a sleeveless crop top and her shades with flawless fucking makeup, like the shit she is. There's a spoon in one of her hands. Perfect nail polish. Fishnet glove, a couple of rings. Spiked choker. Behind her is a handful of people. Eridan sits on the floor with his ice cream. Roan has ice cream and a bottle of whiskey. Cicuta, poor thing, is messy, but also in possession of ice cream, which is the universal common denominator that makes an awful lot of sense given the location. Somewhere in the background is the blurred figure of the singular staff member putting up with this post-rave gaggle of weirdos.]

(( i think is very clear but ritchy is polyamorous or atleast doesnt share the mindset that you can only have one troll in each quadrant, his relationship with hursus is pretty much open on his side like he has two hands for that

>> garbage d¡ડpoડa1 (affect¡onate)

// Alright, quadrant talk because I want to (if you don't use quadrants irl feel free to ignore) In human romance, it's fairly common to use <3 platonically, and while there's no rule in troll romance saying you *can't* use <3, <>, <3<, and c3< platonically, if you want to do so you have to make a choice of which symbol to use. This act of making a choice comes with Implications, implications I'd much rather avoid when talking to people I decided to go digging for some proposals for what a fifth playing card suit could be, and I found the idea of the 5th suit being the Shield. I like it because it's pretty much the only one I found that can be made easily as an emoticon: 3> To clarify, this isn't a "5th quadrant" or anything, just a 5th symbol to use when you want to throw a quadrant symbol at someone but can't or don't want to decide which one to use. If anyone has any other proposals I'd love to hear them /:)

(( Just want everybody to know I haven't forgotten about you, there's just a lot going on and I haven't been able to think straight about good responses. So I've mainly been engaging with very low-energy stuff on here. I hope everyone is doing well and Himero will return shortly for the more in-depth interactions! ))

if all the do( s(rat(hes had to tag their weird stuff as vagueposting, how man7 tags do 7ou think the7'd (olle(tivel7 have to appl7? a hundred? five hundred? a thousand?
I see people talk aboUt sea angels from time to time. They're sUrprisingly popUlar! For sUch an UnUsUal creatUre. BUt. There are also sea bUtterflies! Which are somewhat of a misnomer. As they are gastropods! Marine snails that fly throUgh the water with their wing-like feet. The way they move is fascinating! ・・・𝛾

Speaking of the abyssal zone fish. Lets look at the tripod fish! Well. They cannot look at Us. BecaUse their eyesight is extremely poor! To the point of near-blindness. BUt. They Use their tripod-like fins. Not jUst to stand tall. BUt to feel the vibrations made by approaching creatUres! ・・・𝛾

I Am Going To Rest Now. But I Love My Friends. #myfriends :> I Am In A Good Mood. #positive

"If yoU gaze long enoUgh into the abyss. The abyss gazes back at yoU." A phrase that might soUnd very foreboding at first! BUt. The reality is. The abyss is fUll of friends! DUmbo octopi! Tripod fish! CUsk eels! Sea pigs! Basket stars! NUmeroUs mollUsks and crUstaceans! So many animals make their home in the abyssopelagic zone and beyond. It is a sUrprisingly lively place!・・・𝛾

Dogfish are an species of shark that are small in nature #animalfacts
There are more spotted handfish left in the wild compared to their red coUsins. BUt. Still fewer than 3000! As a matter of fact. A shame! For sUch an adorable species. And. So very Under-stUdied! It is difficUlt for me to find facts on them. ・・・𝛾
