Phylum #21: Mollusca!

The second-largest phylum after arthropods, molluscs come in a massive variety of shapes and colors, having successfully colonized virtually every marine environment, and many freshwater and terrestrial ones. From armored chitons with hundreds of eyes embedded in their plates, to colorful nudibranchs, to fluffy-looking solenogastres, it is hard to see at first sight that they all make up a single clade.

In fact, relatively few characteristics unite all mollusks! While the hypothetical ancestral mollusk - likely a limpet-like creature - had an unsegmented shell, many mollusks derived it into an articulated or hinged shell, or lost it entirely.

All mollusks are united by a fleshy mantle covering the body, and, except bivalves, a toothed tongue or radula, used as a rasping tool to process food. The foot is also a recurring characteristic, although often highly derived - in cephalopods like squid and octopus, it has in fact evolved into their many tentacles!

Mollusks also show a pretty intriguing nervous system. Instead of a single brain, they show a series of ganglions, encircling the oesophagus and functioning in a decentralized way. In cephalopods, many of them fused into a central brain, although most, still in the tentacles, can act independently from the "brain", leading to a complex and alien intelligence in creatures known for building underwater cities!

really enjoy how entities like the avengers and the fantastic 4 are all established as existing in the insomniac spider-man universe. it makes the outlandish shit that happens even funnier knowing the literal wizard who lives across town is looking out at the sentient black ooze sweeping the city and possessing people like wow someone should do something about this

my pieces for the danmei mermaid zine! these were so much fun, i’m convinced my true calling is just to make simple storybook illustrations lol

the story here is pretty much that a wandering delinquent found the son of a tyrant, who has been living in hiding for years, in a cave making love potions, not knowing that the young master of a prominent family was actually looking for him to prove himself to his family and bring him to justice. songxiao are explorers who do good deeds on the side and were tracking the delinquent until something more promising came up :3c

it’s also just xue yang gets grabbed: the show

please check out the zine, we all worked really hard on it!

[id: two full-color illustrations in a simplified style depicting a few characters from mdzs as merpeople. 

the first image takes place near the seabed, where some large rock formations give way to a cave. a red mer-squid somewhat resembling wen chao is poking out of it, grinning gleefully as his squid arms wrap around a somewhat flustered, yet smiling, xue yang. his tail is striped black and white and somewhat resembles a barred knifejaw, but his dorsal fin and overall tail shape allude to a shark. in the foreground, a purple, frilled eel tail swims through a few swaying stalks of seaweed, somewhat menacingly surveying the scene. a small hermit crab can be seen hanging out on a rock in the corner. the scene is bright, with white light breaking through the water and golden flecks painting the image. bubbles rise around it to denote movement.

the second image is more out in the open, with a small school of fish and a group of jellyfish swimming by. it is similarly bright and warm, with light streaking down and dotting the space. xiao xingchen, sporting a light golden tail and a surprised smile, is opening a giant clamshell to show its contents to song lan, who has light blue skin and a dark blue tail. he is smiling wider than ever in joy at what resides within the clamshell: a sleeping, tiny a-qing who resembles a green dumbo octopus. the clamshell rests upon a mossy rock. in the background, xue yang is being apprehended by an angry-looking jiang cheng, his purple eel tail coiling around xue yang as he humorously cries out for help. the bubbles rising in this image are duller in color to reflect a calmer image. /end id]
