Whale, whale, whale, look what the ROV dragged in… 🐋🦴🤔
⚠️TW: graphic image of dead whale⚠️
In 2021, a dead fin whale washed up on a beach in Monterey Bay, giving us the unique opportunity to collect one of its back bones for display in the Into the Deep/En lo Profundo exhibit at the Aquarium.
Before its debut, MBARI helped us sink it in the deep sea to “marinate”. Three years later, we returned to retrieve the whale bone, freshly colonized in Osedax bone-eating worms!
Check out this collaborative process with @mbari-blog to bring the deep sea closer to you!
"They hate us! They'll never be happy in a universe where you're happy too. So let's run! If they don't want us to be part of humanity, we don't need their cradle either!"
I've tried to post this like three times but Tumblr mobile app didn't like me and just threw away all my witty commentary the moment I hit "Post", so I juggled my video and photos to my computer just for that sweet desktop experience!
But like can we all acknowledge that Xie Lian ascended into a god the third time through junk collecting? He just collected scraps SO HARD that he ascended. Like did he plan that? Or was he just minding his own business one day and then a Heavenly Tribulation rained down on him and he was like "Whoops, guess this is what I'll be known for forever let's gooooo!" It sounds like him, honestly.
Everyone knows Xie Lian as that one god involved with a plague and whose martial skills are second to none - to the point that he's stronger than Hua Cheng by the time his curse shackles are removed. But let's all remember the REAL reason he's a god at the start of TGCF. Our boy is just that good that he junk-collected his way into heaven, and I think we should be praying to our scrap immortals more often.

I used to try to listen to every single version of dreams of our generation I could find. but these ai character voice covers are just kinda filling up a lot of the sort-by-new search results now and most of them don't even sound good
