I read the phrase “transitioned onto land” for about the thousandth time the other day, but this time I noticed an opportunity!

one of my paleontology professors just went on a 20 minute rant on how humans and other tetrapods are inferior to modern fish because "We spend half our lives making swimming pools and being in the ocean to get back to where we once were but we just don't have what it takes."
we really are just glorified lungfish and he then ended on the rawest line "it's all we carry, the shame of our history in our bones"

I think every mental health professional should be fluent in the Mountain Goats so I can walk in and say "yeah my family's driving me crazy and I've been feeling very The Mess Inside and Riches and Wonders lately with the Occasional Werewolf Gimmick and Foreign Object" and they'd be like "when you feel that way do you stop to consider the tetrapod?" And I'd be like "damn I really need to consider the tetrapod"

Tetrapods: We evolved proper limbs which let us do just about anything we want.
Fish: you fucked up a perfectly good fin is what you did! Look at it, it has arthritis!

Why are lizards and salamanders so similar in shape?
That’s just what peak performance looks like
#it’s also just basically the ancestral shape of the sarcopterygian fishes that we are descended from#African lungfish look so much like salamanders you’d be forgiven for confusing the two#mammals and birds and tortoises and frogs are just heavily modified from this splayed-stance long-tail tetrapod shape#snakes and caecilians are just variation on the theme of ‘how much leg is actually needed for my lifestyle’ where the answer is zero#but remember that salamanders and lizards are really only superficially similar#answers by mark#anon#anonymous

Wanted to see how the Outer Wilds main game aliens would look in my style/how I could portray them
#outer wilds#outer wilds nomai#nomai#outer wilds hearthian#my art#art#not fish#the hearthians are far evolved from that point!#(well.... the “fish” in timber hearth wouldnt actually be fish because they are not earth animals. but they are functionally fish)#(and the hearthians are functionally tetrapods!)#(the only ones. no one like them on their planet)
