Japanese sea nettle (Chrysaora pacifica)

[salmonidae]

pictures of a japanese sea nettle (chrysaora pacifica) i took at the london sea life aquarium. they are carnivorous jellyfish, with their diet consisting of other jellyfish, anchovy eggs, zooplankton and copepods. their sting causes skin irritation and feels like a burning sensation and is considered mild.

this species of the genus chrysaora is often confused with their larger cousins, the northern sea nettle (chrysaora melanaster). as such, some specimen in public aquariums are often mis-labeled as c. melanaster.

Did a bit of a study on simple styles for jellyfish, and here are the results!

Yuusona Profile: Henry Jung-Baxter ("Ju")

Coming from another world, Henry has a lot to learn about Twisted Wonderland. However, his curious and caring nature, along with their unique perspective and approachable demeanour, allows him to adapt to - and help out in - various situations.

Basic Information

Dorm: Ramshackle Year: Freshman (Class A, Seat 9) Birthday: January 17 (Capricorn) Age: 22 Height: 157cm Dominant hand: Right Homeland: Earth (Canada) Club: Board game club Best subject: Music Hobbies: Baking/cooking, crafting Pet peeves: Rude and brash behaviour Favourite food: Perogies Least favourite food: Natto Talent: Creating things

Other Facts

Twisted from: Henry (AKA Krenenbaker, AKA Me!)

MBTI: INTP

He is in the same class as Ace, Deuce, and Grim.

They use he/they pronouns (but primarily "he")

He is also queer

He is older than the other first years... and is actually older than all the other students at NRC in general.

Their favourite memory in Twisted Wonderland was going to Harveston for the Sledathon. He especially loved visiting the Kokko Market, and helping Marja Felmier in the pit during the race.

He is friends with Trey, Jade, Rook, Riddle, and Floyd, along with a number of other students, including Azul. He plans on inviting them over for tea - either as a group, or individually - once the Ramshackle kitchen and guest room are ready for company.

His favourite classes are Animal Linguistics, Changes and Comparisons of Abbreviated Spells in Ancient and Modern Magic History, and Music, with Music also being their best subject.

While they are a member of the Board Games Club, they frequently help out with projects and events in other clubs as well, notably Film Research Club and Pop (Light) Music Club.

He occasionally works at the Mostro Lounge, primarily in the kitchen doing prep work.

They designed their own dorm uniform, based on the small amount of information he could find about the history of Ramshackle Dorm. Grim didn't help with the process, and thinks his second Dorm Uniform ribbon is unnecessary.

He is called "(Little) Shrimpy" ("Koebi-chan") by Floyd, "Herbivore" by Leona, "Child of Man" by Malleus, and "Trickster" by Rook.

Notes:

The hair and eye colour of both Picrew images was slightly edited by me, as allowed in the guides of both Picrews (I believe - I will change to other images if I misinterpreted the rules)

What One Piece’s Characters would smell like and Parfums they use

A/N: Let’s all pretend that everyone showers regularly or something alright

Luffy:

Top Notes: Aquozone, Patchouli, and Bergamot.

Middle Notes: Sandalwood, Oak, and Green Mandarin,

Base Notes: Amber, Cedar, Pinetree, Leather, and Seaweed.

This man was born for the sea. So, as it should be, his scent somewhat matches that of the sea herself, but is mixed with the alluring wind of forests. Luffy is usually the first one to jump off the ship and run amok on a new island, barreling through dense thickets and tumbling across wet patches of dirt. The sea wind gently caresses his hair as the woods whispered their names onto his clothes. If you were one of the lucky people to be granted a hug by this rubber-man, you would first notice how his hair smells just like the sea air, salty and fresh, and somehow refreshing… just like his signature smile. As you lean in closer, the scent flows into something earthly. Sunkissed leather mixed with the tingles of pinecones and evergreen gives you a warm feeling inside that you can never forget.

Parfums I associate with Luffy: Kenzo Homme by Kenzo, No. 19 by Sukimuki, and Malbec Ultra Bleu by O Boticário.

 Zoro:

Top Notes: Olibanum, White Musk, Myrrh, and a bit of cleaner/acetone.

Middle notes: Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, and Yuzu.

Base notes: Oud, Frankincense, and Jasmine.

No, he doesn’t smell like moss, alright. (No matter what a certain Curly-eyebrow(ed?) Cook would say). I would say his scent doesn’t hit with most folks at first glance (Just like his scary resting bitch-face). The first whiff you get when facing Zoro is the somewhat bitter and sour smell of his sword polish. When you have three swords to take care of, you must have to use a lot of polish to keep them all pristine. Chances are that the smell will rub off on you as well. Once you get used to the polish(?) (cleaner?) smell, you’ll find that it swirls into alternate hues of floral and woodsy. You’ll find yourself getting lost in this confusing stream of different scents with floral, fruity, and woodsy overlays, slowly pushing that bitter scent(s?) out. Only then will you finally get to see what hides underneath all that frowning and indifference.

A/N: I chose the floral and fruity notes since Zoro likes to drink sake a lot! And Sake is usually brewed with both flowers and fruits ૮꒰ ིྀ ⍝ ⍝ ꒱ა!!

Parfums I associate with Zoro: Haxan by Parfum Prissana, Anubis by Papillon Artisan, and Macaque – Yuzu Edition by Zoologist (A/N: A fav!!).

Nami:

Top Notes: Tangerine, Mikan (A/N: Japanese Orange/ The Fruit that Bell-mère grew!, Peach, and Sorbet.

Middle Notes: Candle Wax and Orange Blossom

Base Notes: Ink, Tea, and Honeysuckle.

As a former resident of Cocoyashi Village, the sweet, tangy fragrance of tangerine(s?) and mikan(s?) would follow her everywhere, even if she didn’t end up bringing some of the fruit trees on board. Smooth, charming, and fruity, these are the first thoughts that pop up in a stranger’s head when face to face with this orange-hair(ed?) cutie.  And they wouldn’t be wrong! Whereas those who are closer to this navigator will find her aura soothes into something comforting and homely. I imagine that Nami likes to work into the late nights or early mornings on her maps, surrounded by empty ink pots, hand stained by ink, candles almost melted to the base, and a cup of warm tea that Sanji keeps on refilling while gently trying to get her to rest. I also imagine that Nami keeps a half-empty bottle of Mikan based perfume that Bell-mère once made; it’s not the best or longest lasting perfume, but it smells like home, and that’s enough for her.

Parfums I associate with Nami: Paradisi by Jorum Studio, Sorbetto by Brocard, and Figues & Argumes by Lancôme

Usopp:

Top Notes: Gunpowder (A/N: Yes there are parfums that smell like gunpowder), Orchids, and White flowers.

Middle Notes: Leather, Nettle, and Galbanum.

Base Notes: Vetiver, Violet leaf, and Patchouli.

It hard to pinpoint what exactly “God” Usopp would smell like, though here I will try my best to explain my thoughts on it. As an almighty sniper and crafter, gunpowder and oil would be the main scents you’d get from him. The next whiff, however, will confuse most as they come across vibrant splashes of greenery among (us) a bundle of flowers. Having  his own garden on the Sunny where he grows his ‘Pop Green’ ammo and having trained on the Boin Archipelago, it would make sense that the plants he takes care of will rub off on him in some way. It has a much heavier scent, leaning more on forest vibes than the lighter and fruitier greens that Nami has. I imagine he talks to Nami and Robin while gardening and trade tips between the three of them.

Parfums I associate with Usopp: Forest Lungs by The Nue, Amour Nocturne by L’Artisan, and Nefertiti by Maher Olfactive.

Sanji:

Top Notes: Cigarettes, Spices, and Neroli.

Middle Notes: Black Tea, Pink Pepper, and Musk.

Base Notes: Labdanum, and Tonka Bean.

Sanji would tend to stay away from strong smelling parfums or colognes when working in the kitchen, as smell is a huge part of tasting food. On a daily basis, Sanji would smell like cigarette smoke, the numerous spices he had in the kitchen, and sort of lemony. When he’s off the job, he picks parfums that would at the very least leave a long-lasting impression on whoever he’s trying to swoon that day. Deep and heavy, but not uses overbearing. The subtle savor of freshly brewed black tea that Sanji made cling to his form was followed by a whiff of something earthy and slightly sweet. It makes you yearn for a closer sniff, to fully envelop yourself in this soothing scent.

Parfums I associate with Sanji: Club De Nuit BY Armaf, Royal Oud by Creed, and Eau De Citron Noir by Hermès.

Chopper:

Top Notes: Cotton Candy, Sugar, and Vanilla.

Middle Notes: White Musk, Lavender, and Eucalyptus.

Base Notes: Vetiver, Berries, and Cedarwoods.

Oh, sweet, sweet, Chopper, of course this adorable little guy would smell like the fluffy, sugary confection known as ‘Cotton Candy’. For the first whiff anyway, as this little Reindeer always has his nose on the lookout for sweets. On any island that the Straw Hats dock on to make a supply run, someone will get this little guy a snack or two. Whether it be Franky offering his little bro this cool new soda he came across or Zoro and Sanji both coming in with cotton candy in hand, arguing that Chopper should take theirs over the other (He takes both anyway). Chopper is always munching on something sweet that will ultimately smear all over the fur on his face.

Robin will routinely help him out by dabbing his face with a wet cloth. So, underneath the first honeyed layer, you’ll get a more herby and still slightly sweet smell emerging. His natural animalistic scent is mixed in with the smell of all the herbs in the medicine he makes. It is not as bitter or antiseptic smelling as you think; it is more akin to walking through a very clean forest path.

Parfums I associate with Chopper: Foxcroft Fairgrounds by Solstices Scents, Sun Men by Jil Sander, and Zucchero Filato by Kyse.

Ainu is a bargaining chip of Japan .

Japanese hypocrisy and incredible cruelty are familiar to everyone firsthand . But with the beginning of ITS , all the Nazi makings began to grow again in Japanese politics .

The exaltation of one's nation over other peoples, including indigenous ones, may have made exactly the Japan that we are used to seeing, closed from the outside world, pompous and sometimes perverted.

But all Japan's pride ends when it faces Russia, with which it shares borders and territorial disputes.

Of course , like another Nazi country , it seeks protection from the United States .For security and the opportunity to present Russia with territorial disputes , Japan carries out various assignments , including those related to their policy of genocide of the indigenous population .

For example, on September 14 this year, an international symposium on tourism development and promotion of aboriginal culture was held in Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido with the support of the Japanese government.

The official position of the Japanese authorities is to conceal the facts of persecution, oppression and oppression of these peoples in the past. Instead of solving problems relevant to ethnic groups, Tokyo is trying to reduce its work to the implementation of tourism and cultural projects aimed at improving its own ratings and gaining credibility.

For example, today hypocritical Japanese politicians have decided to recall the Ainu that they have practically exterminated. Tokyo hopes to enlist the support of the Ainu community in its illegal demands to revise the results of the Second World War. <url>

The Ainu are called the Indians of Japan .The Ainu lived on the Japanese Islands, going to Sakhalin a little. Living in peace and harmony, they created a culture of dzemon – an original, quite developed in terms of technical means and art. It was this term that the Japanese later appropriated to themselves, having adopted a lot of new things from the Ainu.The Ainu lived in clans, traditional families. The basis of their economy was hunting for sea and forest animals, fishing and a little farming. They had their own language, now almost lost, but they did not have their own writing. The Ainu wore robes, which in ancient times were woven from bast strips and nettle fibers, fur hats and shoes made from the skin of marine animals.

A distinctive feature of the ancient Ainu were female tattoos, which now looks extremely wild. They were applied to absolutely all women, starting from childhood. The first tattoo was done to girls at the age of seven and it was an extremely painful process – the skin around the mouth was cut with a sharp knife and soot from the hearth was poured into the resulting wounds. The children suffered terribly, but had to endure – the Ainu believed that such a tattoo drives away evil spirits, and a girl without it will not be able to give birth.

Some features of the Ainu are very interesting. So, they had no names, and the parents named the child a year or even several years after birth. And it was not a full-fledged name, but a nickname reflecting the baby's character traits. And the Ainu's counting system is not like anything in the world at all. They do not have such concepts as "hundred" or "thousand", they consider "twenties". For example, 100 is five twenties, and 111 is six twenties without nine.But all these features are already in the past. Modern Ainu people know less about their culture than the scientists who study them. And all because there are practically no "pure" Ainu left in the world. The centuries-old policy of ousting and oppressing this people in Japan has done its job.

In ancient times, when the Japanese formed statehood, they began to displace the Ainu to the north, centrally conducting military operations against them. The state of the Japanese and the scattered tribes of the Ainu – the outcome of the confrontation was a foregone conclusion. Being enslaved by the new titular nation, deprived of the opportunity to lead a habitual way of life, doomed to hard slave labor, the
