the indescribable annoyingness that having new entry level knowledge into a field of study gives you is so unbelievably funny to me. babby psych students who become obsessed with diagnosing their friends with personality disorders for disagreeing with them. babby paleo students who get irrationally angry at plastic dinosaur toys for children. newly-identifying chefs/foodies who are ready to have a meltdown on anyone who cooks a steak to a wellness level they don’t enjoy. if youve ever wondered why every subreddit for every topic is Like That this shit is why
How do your sharks react to blood in the water? Hopefully they have out evolved the need for the feeding frenzy of their ancestors.
Sharks having a blood frenzy is just another myth from Jaws. I recommend watching these two videos about it!

Another detail is that the sense of smell is not the best sense of sharks, for them to smell the substance has to flow through their noses, they would have to be very close. What most attracts the attention of sharks is the sound of fish struggling in the water, which they can hear almost a kilometer away. Check out this little noise experiment!
And finally, my sharkfolk are civilized, so if any of them smelled blood in the water, the first thing they would think is that someone was hurt and they would go to them for help, not to eat them! hehe

This reminded me of an old idea I had a long time ago and I decided to sketch it out, a representation of a distant event in the past of the story about the shark civilization! 🦈✨
Posting only the art I made inspired by this question on tumblr! Hope you like it!
I made this sketch for an idea I had a long time ago exploring the idea of the famous myth that sharks "smell a drop of blood in 2 million liters of water" and become uncontrollably frenzy.
This scene depicts a distant event in the past history of my shark civilization.🦈✨
