Happy World Ocean’s Day!
🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊
To celebrate here is the latest crazy sighting from the E/V Nautilus Exploration, a mysterious jellyfish found in remote Pacific depths. Dr. Dhugal Lindsay helped identify this jellyfish as a member of the order Narcomedusae, and an undescribed species within the genus Bathykorus. You love to sea it 🌊

Massive idea that will be drawn later but I need to get it out now if there was a small cartoon of them or just. You know what in general (one of) my headcannons are that the kinitocrew's dynamic would be very very very very similar to peep and the big wide world (yeuah I'm Canadian 😔) qnyway Sam is quack Jade is chirp and Kinito is peep if you don't know what I'm talking about I'm so fucking sorry

number 5 in marine biology ask 💯💪
what is your most controversial marine bio take ?
ok this is going to piss off all of fishblr but from an industrial fishkeeping standpoint i FUCKING HATE MOON JELLYFISH and i HOPE THEY ALL DIE (i dont but keep reading please) .
like- okok australia lore : we have EXTREMELY strict regulations on importing and exporting animals (ver and inver) and plants . it is so so so SO hard to get anything across if you aren't using it exclusively for research or if you are not in a career relevant to it. AND- AND THE THING IS , MOON JELLIES ARE THE ONLY JELLYFISH THAT ARE OK TO KEEP AS PETS IN AUSTRALIA ??
i go to an aquarium exopecting variety and get a ratio of 1000 MOONS to 1 EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE. THEYRE EVERYWHERE . I GENUINELY CNNOT ESCAPE THEM . I GO TO AUSTRALIAN AQUARIUNM ?????? OH BAM ONE MILLION MOON JELLYFISH . I GO TO MALAYSIA AQUARIUM ?????? 80% AURITAS. I GO TO GERMANY AQUARIUM ??? ITS THEIR WHOLE PERSONALITY.HOW ABOUT I SHOVE SOME OF THEM UP MY FUCKING ASSHOLE SO THEY CAN INVADE IT TOO HUH ???????????????
HOW ARE THEY EVERYWHERE WHEN THEIR TENTACLES AND BELL 'HAIRS' ARE TOO FUCKING SHORT TO TOUCH ANYTHING ??????? THEY ARE NOT GOBBLING NUN 💀💀💀
likr fucking- fucking AUSTRALIN spotteds and AUSTRLIAN lagoons arent permitted for imp/expting and theyre NATIVE TO OUR AREA . THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF FUCKING BLOOMS ANYWAYS SINCE UNLIKE MOONS THEY DONT PISS THEIR FUCKING KIDS EVERYWHERE LIKE WHAT MAKES MOON JELLIES SO SPECIAL HUH ????????????????????????????? HUH ???????????????????? THEY THINK THEYRE ON TOP ????????????????????? NO THEY ARENT YOURE BUILT LIKE A FUCKING DINNER PLATE AND CANT HUNT FOR SHIT . YOUR GONADS ARE FUCKING UGLY COMPARED TO EVEYRONE ELSE BITCH YOU AINT FOOLING NOONE. NO LIVING SPECIMEN. SO MANY MORE INTERESTING STUDIES HAVE COME OUT FROM OTHER SPECIES MOONS CONTRIBUTE TO NOTHING . LITERALLY NOTHING INTERESTING LIKE BITCH UR SO BLAND . THE ONLY THING U GOOD FOR IS BEING TURTLE FOOD STUPID FUCKING GELATIN DISC

got some stationary goodies in the mail today. also bought too much stationary online three days ago in a fever induced impulse state. the problem is stationary makes me happy in ways that's very hard to articulate and happen across often and also. it's cheap compared to other forms of joy. and so.

New drawing of my precious OC from "Free! Iwatobi Swim Club", Marina Shiozaki, on an underwater ride with a shark 💛. As is known among fans of this franchise, the shark is Rin Matsuoka's guide animal, who is Marina's boyfriend. Next to Marina is a jellyfish, which is her guide animal.
More than a year ago I had the crazy idea of drawing Marina in a marine animal trainer outfit, Sea World style, and putting her swimming with a shark, but it took me a long time to put that idea into practice. I know this scene is impossible for many reasons, but I imagined it as one of those promotional images with anime characters doing weird and/or impossible things 🤣😅. I also know sharks are bigger but this is a baby shark, haha.
