Ok life cycle of a jelly mer is a GO. I’ll stick it under the cut in case anyone doesn’t want to see the lil development/newborn stuff
BUT before that since I know at least a few people are going to ask; yes, you can hold tiny baby medusa Neil, it can’t even sting you yet. Just a lil tingle
(Shout out to @the-tortoise-lady for the idea of baby Neil with no common sense or self awareness being very certain it both can and will eat that thing it found wading in the water near the beach (fisherman Andrew))
So normal jellyfish polyps grow into what looks like little stacked saucers or plates and when one breaks off it grows into the actual medusa we all know. So like. I’m just imagining the upper body/human part of the mer grows inside more like two cups stacked together, and there’s only one per polyp (i don’t even know if regular polyps have multiple discs break off tbh).
But according to some v quick research and not being able to find specifically Sea Nettle reproductive cycle, I am declaring their polyps the average size of Small (about an inch/3cm or something close) and their baby medusae have A LOT of growing to do :D

Old book fans really hating on the show, huh? As if we’re ever getting a Lestat more book accurate than Sam Thyne Reid??? I’ve been reading these books since I was 9 and I couldn’t love the show more!!!! You know I don’t know what it is anymore that they’re even complaining about if not the inclusion of bipoc stories? Is it really the pastiche aesthetic that y’all are gnawing bones over? It wasn’t even accurate in the movie!!!! If y’all have any fucking patience we’re getting timeline accurate flashbacks as soon as season 2!!! Lestat is book accurate, and I’m gonna fucking say it, so are Louis and Armand!!! Maybe y’all just haven’t read the books in a while, but whatever nostalgia y’all are salivating for is just that, it doesn’t really have anything to do with Anne’s writing. I’m rereading TVL and PL and nothing in my brain has had to shift from the show to the book, I’m seeing and hearing Sam Reid and Assad Zaman. Y’all really wanted a redhead minor as Armand? Nobody cares! Assad embodies everything that makes Armand’s character. Honestly some of you sound like the same assholes who told me I couldn’t be goth because I was black. Either that or you just don’t understand what adaptation actually means. Either it’s racism or frankly racist leaning and salivating for an ✨aesthetic✨. And y’all better not come crawling when season 3 comes around just because it’s suddenly more palatable and accurate to you. Disgusting!

I don’t think people realize how freaked out fanfic readers get when their favorite author(s) doesn’t update their ongoing schedule ON TIME.
And it’s not cause we want the chapter…it’s cause we’re so fucking worried about the Author.
Like— OMG ARE YOU OKAY? YOU’VE BEEN GIVING US THE TRAGIC UPDATES OF YOUR LIFE IN THE NOTES THE PAST 10 CHAPTERS?! WHY STOP? ARE YOU DEAD? DID YOU GET STUCK IN THE WALL LIKE YOUR CAT?? HAVE YOU EATEN?? HAS YOUR BRAIN EXPLODED??
Readers no longer care about the story when they don’t get their usual update. We panic and flag S.O.S as we track down our wayward author who has been both blessed by the universe with a creative mind and cursed all the same with the worst luck.
So any authors who are reading this please understand— when we comment “hey are you okay?” in your comments. No, we are not asking about the chapter.
We are legitimately concerned for your wellbeing. Do not force yourself to shit out a chapter just to appease other ppl when you yourself are not in the mental state to enjoy it or even write it to begin with.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF DAMMIT

Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”
