Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Even though Spongebob has a fun time jellyfishing, you probably wouldn't want to mess with the real thing. The famous cartoon jellyfish are based on a real species, commonly known as the mauve stinger. Just like its fictional counterpart, mauve stingers are bright pink with vivid spots-- and they have a very painful sting!

I was inspired by a poem we studied in class.

Have a mauve-lous Monday, my jellies! ♨️

Meet the mauve stinger, Pelagia sp. These dazzling deep-sea dwellers pack a powerful punch, from their tantalizing tentacles to the bumps on their bells.

If you could choose another animal to be, which would you choose?

(Also, high five? Maybe...? :D )

Hm, if I didn't constantly need water then I think a jellyfish would be nice. I like the purple theme- and of course, stinging people would be a nice bonus lmao

ooc: Ideally a darker purple but I'm getting tired trying to filter out real pictures vs AI ones. But this is a purple people eater jellyfish!! (Also know as the night-light jellyfish and the mauve stinger)

I used to have a jellyfish hyperfixation irl, but I think it fits him well :3

We're mauve-struck! 🤩

The mesmerizing mauve stinger is a stunner, literally! Although small in size (its bell can be a few inches in diameter), its long tentacles and the bumps on its bell pack a powerful punch to protect from predators and paralyze prey.

hihihihi!! I love your game and your sillies sooooooo much!!! It's rotting my brain atp lol

I'm sure you've gotten plenty of requests for associated sea creatures so if this has already been asked I'm sorry; do you think you'll add sea angels as an option? They're my favorite little critters (((o(♡´▽`♡)o)))

Thank you so so much for all of your support, I always smile when I see your name anywhere in my notifications or the tag for my game 💕💕

& I can absolutely add them!! I love sea angels too, they’re super cute.

While I’m here, here’s an update on how some of the profile pics are going (the background color will be whatever you picked):

Here’s the snowflake moray eel, sea bunny, mauve stinger & sea angel pfp icons! I might still make a couple changes to some of them.
