ódio di você ódio di você ódio di você ódio di você

qui levou a colonização pra terras sagradas

qui mostrou pra ela nossas ferramentas preciosas

qui apresentou pra ela nossus caminhus milenares

ódio di você ódio di você ódio di você

qui levou a colonização pra sentir as encruzilhadas banhadas di sangue ancestral

qui apresentou pra ela us lençóis freáticus ondi banhamus um dia nossus corpus nus i quentes

você mi traiu!

traiu a minha pele

traiu u meu corpu

traiu meu ventre

traiu minha história

nossa trajetória

ti amei demais di novu qui ti odiei

amor tem qui si equilibrá na corda bamba da vida

107 metrus acima da mesosfera

si pesa cai

morre com a pressão

destrói minhas camadas de ozônio

queimaduras di 4º grau num fio de pele

vou ter qui cortar alguns várius membros

ficô pesadu demais

mas não queru qui si vá por inteiru

tem um pedaçu

que si dissolvi

queru qui continue em mim

uma unha

quebrou si aqui dentro

órgãos já enguliram

olhos já viram

um corpo ser amor

si desfazendu

na superfície apodrecida

di terra sem adubo

destruída

envenenada pela inveja dela pela soberba dela pela cegueira dela

cegueira branca

ela viu nosso amor

i lhi pareceu monstruosu

vestidu di terra vermelha fecunda

i você acreditou nela

i permitiu qui nossu amor si transformassi em dor

por issu

adeus!

(mais uma vez)

@monstruosus

It hears of a cruel creature that rules over an abandoned city—it hears the tales of humans—though the tales sound more like nightmares. It hears many things yet it wants to see for itself. A creature of the void, like itself, would be a welcome sight to see. Perhaps it is brave or perhaps it is very foolish to traverse a kingdom unknown to it! It cares very little for what anyone else thinks of it. It has spent thousands of years searching for other void walkers—what’re the chances that she will be the one? 

One in thousands? One in millions? 

Saar has been hopeless for centuries. What’s one more disappointment?

So it does what it has been taught to do from watching the humans. Politeness can go a long way when making a first impression, right? It knocks three times, a solid & steady rhythm. No need for there to be a rush. If Saar is to meet someone like it, then it plans on taking its time getting to know her.

        The edges of scarlet lips downcurled in distaste. Yes, she’d had such parties before. Bedecked in jewels, silks, and velvet, she roamed hallowed castle halls at her husband’s side. Although idle chatter was kept pleasant, she could read in between every word. Look at my wife. Look at what I have tamed and claimed for my own. Envious, aren’t you? 

“I’ve never liked parties,” she confided. “At least, not ones like this. I’d rather be barefoot in a deserted wood than trapped in a room full of mortals. No, something inhuman drew me here.” 

Snow glanced pointedly at Aellyon out of the corner of her eye. “I am always willing to risk temporary discomfort in search for permanent allies and friends.”

The Destroyer walked on two, the human-like form so odd and weaker than that of her glorious dragon. "Lucifer, what do you remember?" (from zathrada

“I remember an abyss. A prison of cold nothingness. Long before the creation was but a dream. I remember the radiant light of god, for no matter how many eons pass, I shalt not forget such a thing.  I remember the songs and worship ; the endless expanse of golden meadows, and the aegean seas. I remember... a feeling, fleeting, before I was cast out. Pain? Or perhaps sorrow?”

Vivian is physically incapable of not drumming along to the opening of Bela Lugosi’s Dead.  

Vivian also has absolutely no sense of rhythm so her attempts bear little to no resemblance to the actual song.

Fall 2021 Cactus Update Part 1... From The Back Porch

Fall 2021 Cactus Update Part 1… From The Back Porch

Cactus on the back porch on 9-22-21, #833-2. Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. It has been a strange fall for sure. I was able to let the potted plants stay outside until October 28 this year. While we did have a cold snap and a few light “F’s’, low’s through Wednesday will be 46-54° F. After that we go downhill again. If I wanted, and no one was looking, I could take the plants…

the realm of hel; what is the climate? warm? cold? what is the weather on a normal day? does it get the four season?

Against Hel’s every desire to the contrary… Helheim and Niflheim both are tundras stuck in a permanent winter. There is always a biting midwinter chill in the air, well below freezing, with the climate unchanging no matter the time or the seasons on the other side of the River Gjoll. The ground is always hard-packed with snow, an endless expanse of white against a frightful lack of sky.

To that end, while there are never clouds or snowfall to usher in fresh drifts, new snow does tend to appear over time. No one can explain it. The old guard are past questioning it. The weather is thus dead calm at all times, with neither wind nor precipitation to break up the monotony.

It’s boring and terrible and there’s not really much to talk about. It’s a realm devoid of weather patterns or seasons, and for that it’s Hel’s least favorite place in all the realms, save perhaps for Asgard.

Cambrian Explosion #40: Phylum(?) Lobopodia – Then Somehow They Got Weirder

Most lobopodians looked fairly similar to each other, many resembling armored velvet worms, but some of these early panarthropods evolved much more diverse body plans and ecologies during the mid-Cambrian.

And compared to most of its slender relatives, Collinsovermis monstruosus was built like a tank. An absolute unit.

Originally discovered in 1983 in the Canadian Burgess Shale deposits (~508 million years ago), for several decades this species was known only by the nickname of "Collins' monster", after paleontologist Desmond Collins who published a single image of the fossil in 1986. It was finally formally described and named in 2020, and while our current understanding of lobopodians makes it seem a bit less bizarre than it did in the 80s, it's still one of the most unique-looking members of the group.

It was part of a lineage of lobopodians known as luolishaniids, which specialized several pairs of their front limbs into feathery appendages used for filter-feeding.

About 3.5cm long (1.5"), its large chunky body had 6 pairs of long spiny feeding appendages and 8 pairs of stout legs, each ending in a single massive hooked claw. Up to three long sharp spines adorned each body segment, and its head sported both a pair of antennae and a shield-like sclerite plate.

It probably used its hooked claws to climb up onto rocks and sponges, gathering plankton and organic particles from higher in the water column with its front limbs – and relying on its extensive spiky armor to deter larger predators while it was feeding in such exposed locations.

———

Another species called Facivermis yunnanicus was just as weird as the Collins' monster despite being almost the complete opposite in appearance.

Known from the Chinese Chengjiang fossil deposits (~518 million years ago), it was up to 9cm long (3.5") with five pairs of feathery front appendages and then… no other limbs at all. Instead it had a very long tubular body covered in tiny spines, and a pear-shaped bulbous rear end ringed with three rows of hooks.

It was discovered in the late 1980s and was originally thought to be a polychaete worm, with later studies eventually reinterpreting it as an unusual early panarthropod. It was suggested to be an ambush predator that anchored its rear end into the seafloor sediment and snatched up prey with its tentacle-like appendages, and was proposed as a transitional link between the limbless scalidophorans and the many-limbed lobopodians.

But then some new specimens described in 2020 revealed something unexpected.

Facivermis actually lived inside tubes buried in the sediment, and rather than being an early transitional form it was really a luolishaniid lobopodian – one that had descended from many-limbed ancestors and had highly specialized its body for an immobile mode of life, similar to modern tubeworms, reducing all of its other limbs to nothing in the process.

It's now one of the oldest known examples in the fossil record of a secondary loss of limbs.

It would have kept most of its body safely hidden inside its tube, anchored in with its spiny rear end, extending out its head and feathery limbs when it was feeding. Only 2 tubes are known out of 30 specimens, suggesting they were either made of a material that fossilized even more rarely than their occupants' soft bodies did, or that Facivermis was still somewhat mobile and also spent time outside of its tubes, possibly regularly abandoning them and constructing new ones.
