Rendezvous with Lady Killigrew: A New England Adventure

In 2024, New England’s winter snow lost its once formidable grip, as if Mother Nature had decided to trade her frosty demeanor for a more laid-back vibe. The air, once crisp and biting, now hung heavy with mist as we embark on our road trip adventure. My younger brother Tim, the fearless navigator at a ripe eighteen years old, assumed the coveted role of captain behind the wheel of my beloved…

Blogophilia. Catching up on my fiction challenges

Blogophilia chapter Sixteen: The Road is Life- I didn’t question how the Journeyers knew that there was something special about this circle. That they would out of respect wait for Ducky Jr to come to them. My Guess was that every society, especially those with magic and history of the ancients would have sacred places. We waited in silence as the day passed by, daylight starting to fade before…

Using form: John Beaton, 'Killing a Coho'

I grip its tail, hammock its back, and swing its head down with a crack on rock, then feel its spasms judder through my hands as, with a shudder, it stills, a grand finale that fulfills some ancient impulse in my mind. Poking my finger through a gill,I cause the raker fronds to spillblood that drip drips as I carrythe silver deadweight of my quarry,my kill,toward a tidal poolthe sunset has…

Unbothered sea creatures ! You can find them as designs on my teespring :)

in the good supernatural cas would have been talking to animals all the time. dean and sam are discussing some case and in the background you see cas chatting with a pigeon and nodding while it chitters to him. in one particularly tricky case cas disappears before coming back saying "i have new witnesses" and trailing him behind him are a dozen stray cats who are purring at his feet. random animals just pop out of his trench coat with no explanation. he interviews a suspect with a blue jay perched on his shoulder and a squirrel in his pocket.

HYUNJIN | SKZ-CODE EP. 52

[madqueenalanna]

honestly it was so big brained to have will graham be a fisherman cause like everything else about him is so prey-coded; he's the dog rescuer, he has seventeen mental illnesses, his brain is on fire, he's the lamb in the grip of the lion. but he's also the fisherman. he ties his own flies, he goes out into the river, he baits and waits and sinks his hook in, barbs and all. from the beginning he always has power, even when he seems like he's at hannibal's mercy, at jack's, at his own, he still rolls a cast and waits for the bite

Sky Fish

So. Haven't posted in a while. But I have knowledge I NEED to share with the world. I can't think of a funny way to portray it so... -serves it up on a platter-

The Sky Fish familiar that Marcille makes in episode 22 / chapter 48.

This is "real".

This is the cryptid or UMA (read: yu-ma or Unidentified Mysterial Animals) known in Japan as the Sky Fish, and in English as a flying rod or rod.

So like, this is actually a thing. Japanese TV loves UFOs and Cryptids (or maybe I'm biased because my Beetle is the one who's obsessed but.) the timing for This Specfic Cryptid's popularity and when Ryoko Kui was writing/starting out with this story, are around the same time. This specific UMA had such an impact on me when i first saw it in TV 10ish years ago, that I was so excited about its appearance, and then confused and amused in equal measure when my Capybara had no idea what I was talking about.

AND THE TV SHOW I WATCHED! the original episode clip is still on youtube, although lacking English subtitles (although you can translate the auto generated subtitles to English if you want to try).

Basically, Jose Escamilla of Roswell, New Mexico (and several other sources around middle and South America) caught this UMA/Cryptid on video in 90s? But the story and other people catching them on video and in pictures still pop up, but with improved phone cameras, the proof that it's likely just bugs flying at just the right frame rate to make a long cat style image is more prevalent lol.

But this was/is a super popular UMA in Japan. Like, there are gacha minis, and figures, cryptid books, and other anime featuring these lil guys.

JoJo's bizarre adventures Stone Ocean's Sky High stand, Skytails from Zelda, and a Kemono Friend are some examples.

I want a lil sky fish figurine now...

But yea...

WOO SKY FISH CRYPTIDS FTW

Animal of the Day!

Flying Gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans)

(Photo from Shorefishes)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Atlantic Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 50 cm

Diet- Crustaceans; Small fish; Aquatic worms

Cool Facts- The flying gurnard is a magnificent fish with its gorgeous ‘wings’. These ‘wings’ are just extremely long pectoral fins. They are displayed when the fish grows excited or nervous and allows its body to look much larger, and harder to swallow, than it did a few seconds ago. They tend to stick to the sandy bottom of the shallow ocean, walking on the floor using their pelvic fins. Flying gurnards can only swim for short bursts using their ‘wings’ like a gliding mechanism through the water. These fish are capable of making a low, grunting noise by vibrating their swim bladder. Scientists believe they may use these noises to communicate with each other or possibly frighten predators.

Rating- 12/10 (Their wing-tips are edged in phosphorescent blue.)
