Who’s to say marine animals don’t follow their schedules in the Ethersea? Maybe they serve as a reminder of the seasons to the residents of Founder’s Wake.

[ID: A traditional marker sketch of Zoox Anthellae surrounded by firefly squids. He is a Brinarr: an armored construct made out of coral. He is wearing a cloak made from fish hide and an old diver’s helmet with staghorn coral growing from the sides and top.

Zoox looks up to the squids in wonder, gently holding his arms up almost as if he wants to hold them.]

This was supposed to be posted in October but it’s fine it’s whatever it’s not snowing yet

This cropped Marie sketch was supposed to be colored but if you can’t guess already I didn’t like a big part of it, cropped it out, and gave up.

🦑 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🦑

Firefly Squid: The photophores that dot the body of the squid produce two different wavelengths of light (both blue and green bioluminescence) while those around the eye and on the arms only produce blue light. The reactant luciferin and the necessary enzyme luciferase are located in a crystalline structure within rod-like bodies in their photophores. Firefly squid are the only cephalopods to have this structural arrangement which increases the efficiency of its bioluminescence and allows the light to be directed downward in a cone-like projection.
