#Efflorescence Au

[blooeyedtroll]

🐚✨SHELL!✨🐚 I made a Trollsona for one of oldest and bestest friends (irl) as a surprise gift.

My friend is nonbinary, loves edm/pop/vaporwave music, is obsessed with pinball and does pinball competitions, and works/studies in the dental field.

I think I did a good job capturing their vibe as a Troll. Lmao.

I plan on working them into my Trolls Efflorescence AU, as a character that pops up from time to time. In both fics and art.

Like a lot of Trolls, shortly after the occurrence of TWT, Shell moved to Trollstopia. They decided live and set up shop as a dentist in Pop Village.

They have a passion to help others and offers their services to critter animals, Bergens, and any other living creature who needs it.

Bloo is Shell’s closest and oldest friend. They both met when they were young teens. Which was during the time Messy and Bloo lived on the road and traveled the world. Shell and Bloo briefly dated around that time. They quickly realized they were better as buds. lol. They’ve been friends ever since. It was a pleasant surprise to the two when they both just happened to move to Pop Village around the same time.

[efflorescence-au]

There is a headache-inducing flash of light. As Messy blinks away their temporary blindness, something new and utterly confusing appears in front of them.

At the realization of what it is, they breathe a soft yet panicked,

“Oh no.”

Grow As We Go

An Efflorescence Au One-shot.

A Bloo × Messy x Hickory story.

Birds in abundance twittering about while dew dripped from nearby flora. While, in a kitchen, a tired looking Troll quietly searched around for something to eat. Cereal sounds perfect they thought. Something quick today, as they would rather not have their disheveled appearance questioned.

Another bright, sunny, early morning.

As fresh moth-milk is poured, the familiar 'scritching' of someone walking along the plush flooring somewhere in the pod, sounded. Somebody else must be up. The footsteps of a still not fully conscious Troll shuffled ever closer and stopped at the kitchen entrance.

“Mess?”

Bloo.

Turning their head towards their companion, another bite is taken. With hopes of staving off answers to the questions Bloo was sure to have.

“Where have you been?” Bloo asks soft, yet drowsily.“I've been worried about you. It feels like you’ve been trying to avoid everybody the past few days."

A crunch. A swallow. And then:

“Just been out.” Their voice coming out a bit harsher than intended.

The freckled Troll's eyes widen a bit in surprise at the tone, before squinting skeptically in return.

“I know you’ve ‘been out’. Last I checked though, when you're 'out' its anything but quiet or avoiding Trolls altogether. Are 'ya feeling alright? Have you caught somethin'? You look like ya haven't been sleepin' much.”

Messy averted their eyes to stare at the bowl in front of them. They couldn't bring it up. Not yet. Its too soon and who knew how Bloo would react. Hickory either.

Jaw set firm, they respond harshly.

“Stop worrying about it. When I'm ready, I'll let you know what's up. I just need to be alone.”

A poignant pause echoed loudly between two Trolls who had rarely been at a loss for words amongst themselves. Only to be disrupted by the clattering of a spoon against bowl, and another crunching mouthful of cereal.

“Alrighty then. When you're feeling up to it, just give me a holler. I'll just be here. Worryin'. The whole time.” Bloo bitterly retorts. Disheartened and exasperated that the Troll dearest to them was undoubtedly hiding something. Something that was obviously eating away at them. Turning on heels, eyes stinging with emotion and lack of sleep, Bloo left Messy to their thoughts.

Letting out a guilt filled sigh, the tusked Troll quietly finished the meager meal and washed the dishes, leaving them to dry in the rack.

"Better get back."

On the way out the door, Messy spotted Bloo's favorite flannel hanging precariously off a chair. Without a second thought, enraptured by its sweet sent, it was snatched up as they closed the door behind them.

The hiding spot wasn't far. In fact, it was just on the other side of the tree where the pod sat. Right at it's roots. True, a bit of a climb up for Trolls who aren't versed well at using their hair to climb or repel themselves, but it was the best place to find in a tight pinch. Being so high up, and on the other side of this tree, gave off a feeling of seclusion while still having a good view of Pop Village below.

This time while ascending to their hideaway, a bat critter and a dark haired Troll decending the same tree, were approaching the pod on the other side. Unnoticed.

*******************************

Finally.

Cozy, toasty warm comfort began engulfing the freckled Troll. Eyelids became heavy, sharp toothed maw yawned satisfactorily. The light snores of the nearby scruffy-faced Troll beside them began to lull them back to slumber. If there was one comfort that always held tried and true for this Troll, it was that sleep fixed a sour mood. At least that's what their father always said. Bloo smiled at that and as they drifted off. Reminding themselves to apologize to Messy later. Maybe they were being too pushy. It was completely possible that Messy really did just need some space and some extended alone time to themselves. Afterall, a lot had happened in the trio's lives recently that required some time to process. The biggest being, that it had only been a few short weeks since Messy had banished their birth father permanently from their life. Perhaps that was the cause of Messy's avoidance lately. That they were having some extra delayed emotions to sort out. Odd though, Bloo reflected. Considering that up until Messy began their seclusion, they appeared to be extremely high spirits. Practically glowing with joy...

"I'll make Mess' favorite dinner tonight, and maybe then..." Another long yawn escaped the Troll before rolling over, slipping into a deep, blissful, dreamless sleep.

*RATTA-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT*

Incessant banging at the front door rang violently through both sleeping Troll's ears. Jolting the pair awake. Hickory before his eyes even opened, snapped up, fists raised defensively as if ready for a fight to take place at the drop of a ten gallon hat.

"WAS ZUR HÖLLE?!" Grogily he roared.

Yet the rapping at the door continued.

*RATTA-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT*

"Hun, it's okay. Easy now. It's probably just--"

"Bleib dran, ich werde sehen, was ist ze dang ruckus goin' on out there?!"

Shaking his head at his companion and banishing the remaining sleep from his features, Hickory stomped out of the room. Neglecting both housecoat and slippers by the bedside. Far too eager to greet whoever was responsible for the unwanted wakeup call. All the while, continuing to grumble and curse in a mix of both yodel and country tongue.

Sighing deeply, Bloo got themselves up, throwing on their robe and at a leisurely pace. Following suit after the ex bounty hunter to see who would face the wrath of startling the poor fella awake. Guess some old habits die hard, huh?

"Branch?"

"It's about time! Quick, where's Bloo?"

"Hold up partner. I think you're the one needin' ta answer some questions of mine before ya come bombardin' me with yer own. You know what time it is? Even for us early risers?"

"Hickory, this can't wait. Where is Bloo?"

"Listen. Iffin' this is another one of your 'security thingys' gone screwy, I'm sure we'd be more than happy to help ya later."

Approaching closer to the scene, Bloo was surprised to see Branch. Friend and newly crowned King of Pop Village, in heated discussion in the front doorway with Hickory, while also shockingly in possession of Malicious. Bloo's own pet bat.

The nervousness coming off Branch, came off in waves. Enough to throw the Rock Troll for a loop. Paranoid Branch? Nothing new. Down right nervous Branch though? That was disconcerting. Mr. 'Crazy Prepared' looked as if he saw a ghost and got lost in some bramble while escaping it. More importantly, what was Malicious doing tangled up in Branch's hair? Granted, the bat liked to go off and get into mischief, but this was a new one to add to the books. As soon as the little horned critter saw it's master's face, he bellowed a long, pitiful yowl.

"Bloo! Perfect. I need you to see something important."

"What's going on?" Bloo inquired both Trolls as they plucked the fidgety critter from it's current nesting spot. As soon as the bat was cradled in a familiar embrace,

Branch’s words practically tumbled out of his mouth.

“Malicious showed me something. Something, uh--you both need to see. It's about Messy. They...well...Just follow me!"

With that, the teal Troll darted off faster than a bobsledge bug. With no hesitation Bloo chased after him. Hickory shortly following suit after a short pause to obsorb the situation.

Did Branch find the reason why Messy had been so distant lately? Had something happened to them? What could be going on with them that they felt they couldn't confide in Bloo? Eyes burning, throat tight, and heart racing, they ran harder than they could ever recall. Holding Malicious closely to their chest. Words echoing in Bloo's head.

"Together forever?"

"No matter whatever."

********************************

"Right here."

Branch had lead the two to a notch hole in the same tree their pod that resided at its roots. Very high up, but on the opposite side. Completely hidden away from any normal vantage. Due to placement, as well as being covered in leaves. It was no wonder how Bloo, who had lived here for quite some time now, never noticed it before. Not to mention the amount of hair power needed to help climb the majority of the way up. Hickory, having a few close calls due to his lack of experience using his hair to propel or swing himself.

The notch was dark and shaded. Nothing that would normally cause any alarm for the Troll. Afterall, Bloo had long since, lost track of how many times the two Rock Trolls on their travels, camped in spots just like this.

Wait.

Traveling...

Messy was always fondest of high places when it came to seeking shelter on their journeys. Always pefering it to Bloo's own preference of ground cover.

Was Messy...hiding? From what?

This hollow notch now made the freckled Troll tremble anxiously. What in the hair would they need to hide from, that they thought neither Hickory or Bloo could protect them from?

Malicious, ceasing the moment to break free from his master's tightening hold, slipped away. Flying up to the entrance, he sat down expectantly. Not going inside. Just sitting. Waiting. Like the smart critter always did after finding something interesting.

"Is Mess in there Mal?" The blue Troll quietly uttered. So quiet. As if afraid any octave louder would shatter their resolve.

The bat whined loudly in confirmation.

"Branch, what exactly are we gonna be layin' eyes on when we go--Branch?!"

Turning his head to question the Pop King, to Hickory's astonishment, Branch had silently left the two Trolls facing the entrance with their bat to face whatever he had lead them both to witness.

"Spooky..." He grimaced through gritted teeth.

"I'm going in."

"What? Bloo, hold yer horses! You don't know what's going in there. We gotta tread awful careful-like. 'Ya hear?

Hickory grabbed the crook of their arm, squeezing firmly to stop the Troll from walking forward.

But to no use. Yanking their freckled arm from their partner's grasp, they charged forward without looking back. Bloo didn't give a damn what might be going on. Whatever possible danger or worse was inside. Inside, lay answers to the questions Bloo and Hickory had been asking themselves for days, as well as their beloved Messy. No powers above or below in this whole wide, Trolly-World was going to stop them.

The tree and everything was deathly silent as the blue Troll rushed into the Tree knot. Hickory braced himself to chase after them. Readying himself for whatever was to come. To do whatever it took to make sure the loves of his life were safe.

It was only a moment. Two at most. As he began stepping forward, something that would chill any Troll to the bone happened. From the hollow knot the the great tree... A cry of pain from Bloo thundered.

Hickory charged in.

******************************************

Time. Time..Time...

That's all Messy kept convincing themselves they needed. More time to figure out what or how they were going to break the news to both of their partners. How would the two react? Would Bloo and Hickory be upset? Why did this have to happen now? When everything was literally perfect?

The three Trolls hadn't officially been together as a complete unit for all that long, so a conversation pertaining to this, wasn't even a thing that had been casually discussed. And as much as they rattled their brain, this was a senario Bloo and Messy had never really pictured either. Honestly, the duo had always lived their lives in the moment, a day at a time, and never planned ahead for a future. Other than always wishing for a life spent together filled with love, rock 'n roll, and adventure.

More importantly. What if? What if Bloo and Hickory wanted no part in this? This was a game changer afterall. 'What if'. All the 'what ifs' were what made them so afraid. What terrified them most though, the ‘what if’ that grabbed at the based of their heart and squeezed it near to bursting was...

"What if Bloo and Hickory leave?"

So tired. So hungry. But they couldn't leave again. At least not so soon. Who knew when it would finally happen. Who knew what might come snooping that shouldn't. Maybe they could nap, just a little while. Just to rest their eyes.

They felt the oppressive weight of sleep overtake them, activity from right outside the entrance jolted them awake. In reality, nothing altogether loud, but nonetheless shattered any trace of sleep away. Messy might normally insist that they hated having such long and pointed ears, but for situations like this, it was a blessing.

Due to the way the knot was hallowed out, it actually went a bit far back and down into the tree, giving it more privacy. The only source of light was a small jar of clapper bugs. Just enough to see around in the chamber they found themselves in, but not have it reach outside. Panic set in quickly. "Please. Please let it be just some critter out there snooping around, get bored and buzz off." The green Troll pleaded internally.

No such luck. Faint noises only grew louder and if they weren't mistaken, getting closer.

"Idiot."

Of all the things they had gathered up the last few days, they had forgotten to grab anything to defend themselves. Too late now. They just had their intellect and reflexes to go off of. Just like the good old days traveling, right? If they with Bloo's help were able to take down humongous critters before on their own, Messy could do this. They had to. Nothing was going to make its way into this spot. Claws and patience would have to do. Retreating from their spot in the corner of the space, Messy slunk to the left side of the entranceway. Waiting for their chance.

*******************************************

"How far did this go back?" Bloo wondered. After the enital plunge into darkness, they felt their nerve waver momentarily.

Marching forward, the Troll reached out both arms to either side to brush the walls with their clawed fingers. Not only to guide, but to gage the new, dimly lit surroundings. Thank-Trollness the low-light vision Rock Trolls were blessed with. This would be unnerving to any other Troll.

"Yikes. Sorry Hic." They thought.

An apology best saved for later though, as a tiny glimmer of something began brightening up the darkness. Continuing on, lowering their arms to their sides, fists clenched, teeth tugged on lower lip, Bloo's steps become more assured. Confident. Messy. Anything and everything Messy.

Closer now. And coming into view. That light source. They recognized that familiar buzz of clapper beetles. Towards the center of the space right before them, it sat. From first glance seemed to be a nest. Most likely made by some critter or bird. Had Messy been caring for some wounded critter? Were they carried in by a critter? A heat rose up inside as they felt beads of cold sweat build. Reaching the entrance to the source of the light, Bloo making themselves as imposing as possible, entered.

"Mes--"

There was no chance to say much more before a shadow was on them. Instinctively, the blue Troll maneuvered themselves backwards, and was able to avoid most of whatever had just...clawed at them? Adjusting their tactic, "If its a fight they want", Bloo thought, "they'd get--

"Aaaagh!!!"

Sharp, searing pain, blossomed acrossed the leftside of their face. Followed by that oh, so familiar warmth of blood. Bloo's mouth. By all that is Trolly it hurt. And was filling up with said, unmistakable, sickeningly sweet, sticky liquid. Spitting the majority of it out, pushing the pain to the back of their mind, they rushed the figure. Charging and knocking it backward into the nest in the center of the room. With them now ontop of the thing, with the upper hand in the fight. That's when eyes and gasps synced.

"Mess?"

"Bloo?"

Bloo immediately scrambled up and off of their green haired companion. Who now, looked even more disheveled than this morning when last they saw them. Now covered in Bloo's blood. Stepping back too quickly, they tumbled back onto their backside. Holding a clawed hand their injured, bleeding, face and mouth. Fully drinking in the scene.

Messy was on their back, propped up by their elbows, chest heaving. Horrified. Their own blood trickling down from a badly nicked ear. Undoubtedly earned from a swipe from Bloo.

The nest.

This wasn't any normal critter nest.

Yes it contained twigs and leaves, but scattered throughout were items belonging to the trio of lovers. Hickory, Messy, and themselves. Mostly clothing, blankets, and anything soft or cozy. Carefully tucked and placed throughout it. Bloo could swear they even spotted some old traveling gear they hadn't touched in ages. Items like sleeping bags, tarps, and tent fabric. So that's where Hickory's favorite vest had gone to? Where Bloo's favorite band-tee went? In the center, they finally got a better look at the jar containing clapper bugs. Snug nearby was something though that made them question if their vision hadn't got damaged in the scuffle. That couldn't be right. Raising both hands up, the injured Troll clapped twice. Loudly. Making the room light up entirely. A flash of light followed by some quick blinking and they had the answer. To absolutely everything.

"Eggs? Mess, d-did you have eggs?"

******************************************

Messy in awed horror could do nothing but stare at Bloo. They imagined almost every possible sanario for revealing the fact they had indeed, laid not one egg, but two eggs.

But none. None. Came close to a sanario of them attacking the love of their life. What had they done?! Looking at Bloo. Their normally, sweet, smiling face, torn by Messy's own claws. If not for their companion being a skilled fighter in the past, they would have faired far worse. From what they could see that wasn't completely splattered in that uniquely colored blood of theirs; an almost a coral and orange hue; they had gotten a small knick on her nose, a slash on the cheek, and a large slash from the top lip to bottom lip, stopping just before reaching her chin. All on the left side. It looked horrible. What had they done? Raising their hands, and sitting up to gaze at their nasty work. It was indeed all on their hands. And on their chest. The warm substance almost glittering in the now lit room.

"I'm going to be sick." Was all that swam in their head until a voice pulled them back.

"Darlin'?! Bloo?! Sugar, answer me--"Hickory heaved. Throwing himself through the entrance. All color drained from his features once he layed eyes on his two partners. "Messy? What the hair is goin' on in here?"

"I--I hurt Bloo. I--I didn't--a--accident. Couldn't--" Messy trembled. They felt their words failing. Choking on each soft utterance they managed to let out.

"Mess?" Holding back a large hiss of pain, Bloo's attention and gaze was held only for Messy.

They were utterly confounded. Why did Bloo not look angry? They should be furious. The calm on their lover's face just begged Messy to be punished. From deep down they were pleading for Bloo to scream. To come over here and tear them to shreads. Something. Anything! Anything to satisfy or relieve the building guilt swelling inside of them.

That's when Bloo did it.

That unique thing that only their eyes could do to any Troll. Stare deep down and melt any barrier. So wholly tender. So powder blue. So accepting. Despite the pangs of pain that occasionally danced acrossed the freckled Troll's injured face, they did what always came with those eyes. Gave that small, ardour, lovesome, smile. Accompanied by those reassuring, inviting, outstretched arms.

"Together forever?" They asked.

"No matter whatever!!!" They replied.

Sobbing, Messy lunged into the embrace.

The weight of all they had been carrying, falling away at last.

There the two sat for a while. Huddled together. Until the two became three. As Hickory knelt down alongside his two companions, holding them tightly. Thanking the stars above that they both were safe.

As Messy's sobs were subsiding and both Rock Trolls were looked over by their partner. Who was able to staunch the bleeding from both Troll's injuries. Thanks to a few handy items he kept stashed in his hair. As he did so, he finally drank in the surrounding scenery.

"Are those? By all that is Trolly...those ain't--are they?" He hoarsely whispered.

"Congrats cowboy, looks like we're parents."

"Parents? You mean I'm gonna be someone's Pa?”

“Well...pop my corn." A huge grin spread from ear to ear. A glimmer of tears springing up made an appearance on his handsome face.

"You're not upset? Why aren't you both upset at all of this?"

"Oh, don't get it twisted. I'm far from okay with this lovey. Far from it being about the eggs though. I'm mad at 'ya for hiding something as big as this from us. Thinkin' you can't trust us. For hiding yourself and them away. Going and neglecting yourself--"

Their clawed hand moved hair from their face and reached out to Messy's face. Caressing it gently. Thumb stroking their cheek, light blue eyes sweeping over the green Troll's emaciated form. From days of under eating and no doubt, lack of sleep.

"I'm uh--" Tears full-forced from seemingly nowhere, began to burst forth. "I was so damn worried about you, 'ya know? I thought...well I don't know what I thought, but what if we lost 'ya? What would I do? I had no idea what you were up to. What if you were hurt? In trouble? S-s-sick? And I couldn't--" The freckled Troll between choking back tears, began Hyperventilating.

Messy's eyes widened. Gripping their lover's sholders firmly, dark blue eyes stared back at light blue ones.

"Oi! Lovey. Sweetness. Beautiful, I'm going to be alright. I'm fine. I'm here. I won't do this again. I promise. See?" They brushed tears away as gently as possible. Not trying to irritate the injuries further. Finally gaining a grasp at where Bloo's worries truly were coming from.

June.

Ever since the death of Bloo's mother, any Trolls in their life that were ill or injured, Bloo made every effort to care for them. Their biggest fear in life, being that they would loose them too.

Ofcourse there was no way Bloo was at fault for their mother's illness or death. They were a child. However that irrational fear never left them. Especially when a Troll insisted their illness or injury was 'nothing to worry about'. Neglecting themselves. Afterall if June had put herself first, it was said there was a possibility she could have survived.

Hickory embraced both Trolls tightly. Also understanding where Bloo's outburst was coming from. He kissed Messy's forehead. Eyes brimming with tears of his own.

"Ya had us both worried sick, Sugar. This might all be a mighty big surprise to take in, but your well-being was the only thing on our minds. And now, it looks like we're gonna have two more...little folks who you are gonna mean the whole world to."

"I'm starting out as a real crap parent aren't I?" They sniffled.

"Shucks Shug, ya aren't crap. Just new at this. Uh, we're all gonna be." He chuckled. "But we can at least figure this all out together. Three's better than one. Right?"

Bloo giggled at that. Messy nodded. While both wiped tears away. The future just got a whole-lot bigger to the trio. And every step from there on out was going to be a new, uncertain, but thrilling adventure.

"How about it? Ready to give this a whirl? I'm ready to rock." Bloo winked.

"I'm honky-tonkin' stoked!" Hickory whooped and yodeled in delight.

"Let's do this. Together." Messy beamed.

Scooting over, the green Troll tenderly lifted and cradled the two ‘results’ of their ever growing love for the two Trolls who showed them how to love and be loved. Who together they were all learning that love is ever changing. The highs, the lows, the ebbs and the flows…

It grows as we go.

END

Song that inspired the title for this chapter:

This is technically the first Efflorescence Au fic I'm posting on this blog. It's obviously not in order of events. This takes place once Hickory, Bloo, and Messy become an established romantic unit. However, this was a cute one shot that was the brainchild of a prompt IRL Messy came up with a year ago that I just never stopped loving and working on. On how the twins Paloma and Absinthe, the trio's first kiddos came to be.

I hope you all enjoy! Eventually I'll get around to properly tagging, organizing, and posting things on this blog. But I had an urge I needed to scratch real bad to post this because I had just finished writing it. ^_^

Ttyl! Let's hope this is a start to getting back to making some Efflorescence Au content!

Effloresce snippet

“How did you,” Nesta had managed to surprise her, “How did you come to meet this woman?” Nesta let out a ragged, half-mad laugh. “I tried to hire her to smuggle me into the Spring Court to save my sister.” She twisted, looking straight at Kali. “Why do they call Rhysand a pretender?” Warmth, whatever warmth Nesta had garnered, evaporated. “The heir died,” Kali pronounced. “The current High Lord prevented us from vengeance. We could not- the Lady Shahar did not return to the sky. You cannot lead the clans without honor.” Nesta’s honor was tarnished in every direction. Her father, her sister, her dead uncounted. “Who is the next heir?” Kali sucked in an audible breath and then, just as careful, off as the way Koram had touched her, clapped the back of Nesta’s shoulder where bone and muscle would meet in wings were she something else. “That pale bitch who’s been dragging Cassian around by his throat for centuries, my lady.” Morrigan. Of course, it was Morrigan. Nesta wiped her face. “Will it cause problems?” “Your friend, the mercenary? The mortal child of an Illyrian?” Kali shrugged, motion half wings, “It will be strange. Not violent.” “And probably good for them to see.” “Them,” Kali echoed. Nesta pressed hard against her wet eyes, once, the pressure twinned with pain in her face. “I’m not going to tell anyone who they can or cannot consort with,” Nesta nearly hissed, before she reeled herself back in. “I am not a High Lord. These things happen, and there is nothing wrong with them.” Kali, quite obviously cautious, squeezed Nesta’s shoulder like it was made of bone fine porcelain. “Lady Nesta.” It was kind, and utterly unbearable. “Why do you need her?” Kali asked, after a long moment. “The mercenary?” Nesta, feeling like the expression cracked her, bleeding open, smiled. “She travels in the company of Jurian,” Nesta told her, one more Archeron secret laid bare, “Breaker of chains and kings. I have need of him.”

Shadowgast Recs: in Eiselcross or Aeor

This week, we're focusing on fics that take place in Eiselcross or Aeor! Check out fifteen fics below the cut, and as always, remember to kudos and/or comment if you liked them!

throw me a lifeline by royalgreen (allyoop) (7522,Teen) Warnings: no warnings

Goes AU during the Aeor arc. The Mighty Nein run for help after the first eyes appear on Caleb and Beau.

Reccer says: Fun shenanigans, lovely worldbuilding of stuff we didn't see on screen in canon, and the feelings realization is excellent

let's make this moment worth the while by KmacKatie (kmackatie) (3209,Teen) Warnings: None

A take on Essek joining the M9 much earlier in Eiselcross, and a conversation between the wizards and Lucien.

Reccer says: Fun, snappy dialogue, with a depth underneath it. Very enjoyable!

Threads of silver and red by Sangreal (9601,Explicit) Warnings: None

Using tether essence as a stand-in truth spell, Essek bares himself and his motivations to Caleb.

Reccer says: This fic is a wonderful exploration of the shades of grey of their relationship, chronic pain Essek, and a brilliant use of the tether essence spell.

Rumour Has It by Sanaryelle (8166,Teen) Warnings: none

The other members of Vurmas Outpost get to know Essek

Reccer says: While only a little shadowgasty, it's a very fun outsider POV on Essek and the Nein. Come for the Dynasty gossip, stay for the wonderful descriptions of the Nein

surely some revelation is at hand by mllekurtz (TheKnittingJedi) (10388,Teen) Warnings: None

Essek and Caleb explore what they mean to each other, set in Aeor on a journey to the T-Dock

Reccer says: Mlle's writing always has a visceral realness to it, and this is no different. Careful building of their relationship and realisation that there is a depth to their feelings mirror in each other (the second fic in the series is also worth a read!).

The Mind and The Malady by SaltCore (38941,Teen) Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence

Hanahaki AU set during the Aeor arc. Determined to help the Nein, Essek hides his illness even as he is dying from it. "Essek cannot obligate anyone to be his cure, Caleb least of all."

Reccer says: Fantastic approach to the trope. Heart-wrenching, with a wonderful emotional payoff.

Gravity, and all that's born within by SkyScribbles (132455,Teen) Warnings: None

(wip) Caleb and Essek explore Aeor. They discover lurking threats, themselves, and each other.

Reccer says: This is an incredible take on the Aeor exploration trip. Caleb and Essek's relationship develop so well throughout the story, the story is gripping, the action is well written, and the original characters are well fleshed out. I am excited to follow this to the end.

The Climb by Chekhov (6470,Teen) Warnings: none

Essek must conquer his greatest foe yet: a set of stairs. Caleb is around to help.

Reccer says: It's hilarious - Essek is at his wet cat best, and Caleb is great at being a little shit about it. Also has two sequels.

Paper, Ink by aeli_kindara (14589,Teen) Warnings: None

Exploration of Aeor as well as a slow build of a relationship and Essek realising that he wants for the first time in a long time. From the summary: “I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.

Reccer says: I think about this fic often since reading it the first time, the careful building and exploration, gorgeous phrasing, and wonderful exploration. It's been a frequent reread.

destructive interference by atlasarcana (141219,Mature) Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, and other warnings featured in the Author's Notes

After defeating the Somnovem, a ghost from Essek's past begins to haunt him and force him to confront his memories.

Reccer says: Essek gets thrown around and has to confront his awful choices in nightmare-form in front of Caleb. Lots of pining and horror and suspense and tension. Happy ending!

efflorescence by mieletthe (13140,General) Warnings: None

A series of vignettes set between Essek's departure from the Blooming Grove through the end of his and Caleb's return trip to Aeor.

Reccer says: It's incredibly sweet and soft, a slow falling in love!

Everything in Aeor Is Fine by mousecookie (18017,Teen) Warnings: No major archive warnings but there is body horror, some self harm, and a few other serious tags that should be reviewed before reading

Essek and Caleb find a dark One Ring-like crystal in Aeor and slowly turn against each other. To fight it they have to confront the best and worst of themselves and each other and find their way to freedom.

Reccer says: It balances dark emotions and horror with tenderness and courage. Interesting POV switches.

like the love that discovered the sin by bloodredribbon (4960,Explicit) Warnings: None

On a cold night in Aeor, Caleb discovers that drow ears are *sensitive*.

Reccer says: For me one of the best things about Aeor/Eiselcross is that it's cold as balls, so the wizards simply has no choice but to touch each other So Much. So if you like that trope and/or the trope about elf ears being erogenous zones then this is the fic for you!

in vaults and cherished amber by Allinna (4406,Teen) Warnings: None

A bit of post-campaign fluff at the Vurmas Outpost. A certain wizard experiments with teleportation to Eiselcross in the form of care packages.

Reccer says: It's insanely sweet. It makes you smile. AND OH MAN THE ENDING.

And then two recs for this last one:

reveries on the tongue by lakrisrot (enheduane) (4152,Explicit) Warnings: None

While in Eiselcross, Essek has a wet dream about Caleb and Caleb finds out.

Reccer 1 says : Some of the best prose and romantic dialogue I've ever read, full-stop. It's more than a treat: it's achingly sweet and hot and important-feeling. If you read something today, read this. Reccer 2 says: The writing is gorgeous, as usual, and the smut is scorchingly hot, plus their respective characterization is spot-on with some endearing awkwardness once the horny subsides.

[palabraasinnecesarias]

any ranma fanfic (aside from yours) that you like / would recommend? 🥺

Hi!! Most of the fics I recommend, you might have read already, but these are a few that I always find myself rereading. fair warning, they're all ranma/akane also, they're probably all going to be from ff.net lol

Whistle by pahlee is very sweet but honestly anything by this author is golden; they have all sorts of AU's, usually concentrating on ranma/akane

Ranma teaches Akane how to whistle. WAFF

You Bet! by Strawberry Apocalypse i think about this fic often tbh

Akane looses a bet to Ranma and now must pay the consequences. A little piece of fluff oneshot.

Blush by Rui *internal screaming*

Ranma never backs down from a challenge...

Blind Date by PurseMonger is one of their more popular pieces, but they have a lot of fun stories

First impressions are important, so what happens when you make a bad one? Modern day AU.

Laughter by Efflorescent Vagabond is short and very sweet

Ranma takes note of Akane's miraculously obscene mannerisms while laughing. A tale told through the mindframe of our infamous and stubborn pig-tailed protagonist.

Fever by yuriakugara

Having caught a cold, Akane had developed a high fever! But with everyone out of the house except for Ranma, how would she cope? will he look after her, or worsen her condition? Complete. Cooking lessons and secrets. With a nasty surprise waiting for Ryoga when he pops in.

Temptation by Miyopiyo (rating M) if you're in the mood for something spicy

He didn't know she was drugged with an aphrodisiac when she kissed him, but the touch had triggered his true emotions. Though he soon realized that Akane's passion wasn't real, he couldn't bring himself to stop looking at her, or stop touching her...

Fence-Walking by Crystal-V-Princess *edit: i just remembered that i really liked this one too lol forgot to add it earlier

Akane wants to leanr how to walk on the fence, but can she do it, and for that matter, can Ranma?

#there are so many more but at the top of my head and a quick glance at my favorites these are real great!! #if you havent read any of these i hope you have a good read!! #:) <333 #ranma fanfiction recommendation #palabrasinnecesarias #akane tendo #ranma 1/2 #ranma fanfiction #ranma saotome #rankane #rankane fanfiction #ranma akane #fanfiction

Limbus Company x Epithet Erased (AU?)

Silly idea based off something me and my partner were talking about and I wanted to write down my thoughts on it since I can't really draw anything at the moment. It's mostly rambles for how the City would work with Epithet's rules.

There's room for improvement, these are just based off my first thoughts and sorta "going for the obvious".

Putting a read more so I don't present a wall. Some spoilers abound up to Canto V of Limbus, so be aware

Setting:

E.G.O. and Epithets are basically the same thing. Now, that's not to say people weren't learning they were Inscribed before L Corp and the Smoke War, but it was basically unheard of.

This is because Singularities are basically people with strong enough Epithet's figuring out how to Transcribe them into everyday objects or other such in a commercial fashion. This is a closely guarded secret of the Wings, as a rule of the Head, so that's why the Inscribed are practically unheard of until The White Nights and Dark Days. The City is still as hostile as you know it normally.

How does this work with the Whales, you may ask? Whales probably work the same as usual, but it's because they've parasitized enough Inscribed over the ages that the Whales themselves are basically all Inscribed with "Amalgam" or something akin to that. And then U Corp made the Tuning Forks out of them.

L Corp's E.G.O. equipment is basically Abnormalities Transcribing their Epithets into the extracted equipment, allowing any person, Inscribed or Mundie, to use that Epithet to some degree (since Abnos are derived from/created by humans anyway). Binah understands how this works and that's about it.

Effloresced E.G.O./Distortion is a byproduct of The White Nights and Dark Days basically allowing the City to realize there are a lot of Inscribed, in fact, Moses has deduced every person actually is Inscribed, but it's a matter of those people having their Epiphany, and how they handle it. Basically, works the same as E.G.O./Distortion manifestation anyway just with fancier words.

The Sinners/Limbus Company:

Limbus Company, or rather Faust, has figured out how to "Artificially" Inscribe the Sinners, which is how the other E.G.O. manifest through the Mephistopheles. All twelve also happen to be naturally Inscribed and have had their Epiphany, though their Epithets are not their base E.G.O..

(All of these Epithets come from their titles, extra explanation given for those that don't match said title 1:1)

Yi Sang - Pseudonym: Derived from his title "Ha Yong", another pseudonym author Kim Hae-Gyeong/Yi Sang went under. His Mirror technology was made by Transcribing his Epithet into a Mirror, allowing the Sinners to peer into the infinite possibilities. Without the Mirror, he is a natural mimic, able to briefly become someone else or use another person's Epithet, but it's not as strong.

Faust - Walpurgisnacht: Literally the holiday of the same name. She has some control of fire but is otherwise easily described as "a witch". She can use her fires to manifest familiars, or "cast spells" to cause debuffs

Don Quixote - Dream: Translation of the first half her title "Sueño Imposible". She leans even more into her "Righteous Fixer" persona, and things she "believes" are more likely to "become real". Example, she believes Rociante (her shoes) give her the speed of a horse, they will do so, or if she says her spear will pierce through anything, it can. This doesn't work well when her spirit is broken. (She runs on wish power basically)

Ryoshu - Incoherent: The part of her title "支離滅裂" literally means "Incoherent". Similar to Molly's "Dumb" Epithet, she is capable of rendering foes basically harmless by scrambling their brains, so to say. Also able to make it impossible to read something, but that's situational. She also leans into it with her S.A.N.G.R.I.A. by making herself "Incoherent" to those she has deemed unworthy of her words. (She's not using her power, she just chooses to do that).

Meursault - Sun: An exceedingly powerful heat-based Epithet on someone who actively chooses not to use it. It doesn't hurt him in a physical sense like Mera's Fragile, he just hates the amount of light it produces. He can summon sunlight, even in the depths of an L Corp branch, or simply clear the sky. It's also strong enough to melt through most barriers, just given how hot the Sun can get. It's power is still pretty low since he doesn't actively use it, but it seems to subconsciously manifest sometimes. His body also runs naturally warm due to his Epithet.

Hong Lu - Unreal: Translated from his title "太虛幻境". He's not really used to what it can do, so it's mostly "parlor tricks" like making small illusions. Due to him not using it much, his illusions are easy to see through, as they all have a jade-like color to them. He eventually picks up that he can make himself, or the other Sinners, disappear for a time, but that's currently a frowned-upon tactic as he once made Sinclair disappear for three days because he couldn't figure out how turn off his Epithet. It was only when he passed out from fatigue did Sinclair come back. (He was merely invisible, but that didn't make him feel better)

Heathcliff - Revenge: A Counter-based Epithet. He deals back twice as much damage as he takes. Impressively strong compared to others at the start, since it puts him at a pretty high power level, but given he hasn't figured out any other uses for it other than "take a hit, deal it back", he plateau's pretty quick. He's alright with that, since his Stamina is pretty high, but he can only take so much of a beating before his power means nothing because he's out of the fight.

Ishmael - Hearse: A surprisingly versatile Epithet. She's figured out how to manifest her power both offensively and defensively. On offense, she can call forth spirits of the departed to attack, while on defense she manifests a coffin as a shield. She doesn't like to talk about how everyone on the bus has seen a familiar spirit fight for her at some point.

Rodion - Split: Translated from her title "РАСКО́Л". Compared to everyone on the bus, she's more like Meursault where she doesn't use it much. Honestly, in terms of the story the last time she probably used it was after Canto III where she was able to get more chicken skewers by "splitting them up" between everyone. Other than that, she only really uses it to cheat at gambling, because no matter what she can "split" the pot and take home some cash.

Emil Sinclair - Bird: Translated from his title "Vogel". It's practically useless at the start, where at best he could summon a weak, and I do mean weak eggshell shield. With time he's managed to give himself wings at times, but they're not able to carry him yet. He's still learning how to use his Epithet effectively, and it only seems to grow exponentially more powerful, but for now the best he can do is tame seagulls for Ryoshu.

Outis - Nobody: Translated from her title and name "Ουτις". A fully realized parallel to Hong Lu's Epithet. She is able to make herself and others disappear for a short time perfectly, and has used this power to protect Dante from harm by making them invisible during combat. Beyond that, no one is quite sure what it does, and they're not sure why that is.

Gregor - Vermin: Literal translation of his title "Ungeziefer". He hates his Epithet more than anyone else on the bus. If Meursault and Rodion barely use theirs, he never uses it. Because of Hermann and the Smoke War, it's actually really powerful and is how his right arm manifested. She used his Epithet to Transcribe his mutations onto other G Corp soldiers. This was also how he became the poster boy for the war, he had control over his soldiers, no matter how much he hated it. He can command both total control of actual pests like insects, and mind control people like Rats or other such "lowlifes" widely considered by the City to be nusiances.

Dante - ?: Honestly, they don't know their Epithet yet/anymore, or if the Golden Boughs or their old head have anything to do with it. The clock head itself seems to be Inscribed with "Restore", but they don't know that or if that's the word. The pact they made with the Sinners is how they're able to die and not lose their Epithets as they are literally rewound back before the Epithets "become free", much to the chagrin of some Sinners like Gregor or Ishmael.

Le pipa du Surinam, par Jacques Brosse

Depuis plus de deux siècles, les naturalistes s'intéressent, avec un intérêt quelque peu morbide, au cas unique du pipa ou crapaud du Surinam.

Des 1705,Mademoiselle Sybille de Meriam a attiré l'attention des curieux sur son mode de reproduction, "unique - disait-elle - dans le monde animal". Néanmoins, et malgré toutes les études menées au cours des 18e et 19e siècles, le mode d'accouchement de cet amphibie n'a été élucidé que très récemment.

Le pipa est un gros crapaud ; une tête triangulaire très ouverte et aplatie, limitée au coin supérieur.

par des narines cornées en forme de trompette et à l'angle inférieur par des efflorescences de peau festonnée ; une bouche énorme sans dents ni langue, verruqueuse et hérissée de minuscules épines,

des pattes postérieures épaisses et très palmées, des pattes antérieures minces, avec des

doigts rigides comme des bâtons terminés par des pétales étoilés ; ces multiples particularités

empêchent le pipa d'être confondu avec tout autre membre de sa classe.

Pendant la saison des amours, le mâle tourne longtemps autour de la femelle, puis se précipite soudain sur elle et s'agrippe à son corps. Il reste ainsi accroché à son dos pendant plusieurs jours, immobile. Enfin, du ventre de sa compagne sort une énorme poche. Il se met alors au travail, plie soigneusement cette membrane pour qu'elle prenne place entre l'arrière de son dos à elle et son ventre à lui et appuie fortement sur ce sac.

il en sort un à un des œufs qu'il tartine entre les reins et les épaules et qu'il arrose d'un liquide séminal. Les œufs forment rapidement une couche gluante et homogène. En quelques minutes ils s'implantent doucement dans la peau, qui redevient presque lisse.

Nullement gênée par ce poids, la femelle reprend, insouciante, le cours de ses occupations jusqu'au moment où son épiderme se fissure en plusieurs endroits.

On peut voir une, puis deux pattes s'agiter dans l'air, trouver un appui à l'extérieur et se cambrer pour haler hors du sein maternel jusqu'au corps qui les suit, à la manière des ressuscités qui s'extraient eux même de la terre dans la célèbre fresque de Signorelli.

Quelques instants plus tard, c'est un cocasse fourmillement de membres, une prolifération de formes incomplètes. Les jeunes pipas s'agitent longuement au fond de leurs alvéoles, les uns penchés vers un milieu qu'ils ne connaissent pas, hésitant à y pénétrer, les autres, plus audacieux, s'aventurent déjà sur le sol, tandis que les cellules qu'ils occupaient restent béantes; enfin leurs bords se rapprochent imperceptiblement. Et, le lendemain, plus aucune trace de cette impressionnante opération.

La mère n'a pas semblé souffrir, et a même semblé s'en désintéresser. Quant au mâle, tant qu'il n'avait pas heureusement accompli sa tâche d'assistance à la naissance, il est impossible de le séparer de la femelle. On peut lui brûler les pattes, le mutiler, le décapiter, sans qu'il se détache. De plus, s'il est sous l'emprise du réflexe d'étreinte, s'il ne trouve pas ce qui lui convient, il s'accouplera avec un autre mâle, ou avec un triton, ou même avec un poisson: on les a vus s'agripper avec acharnement à des morceaux de bois flottants.

2022 Wrapped

Tagged by @takearisk-ao3

Post the top 5 works you're most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular)

1 Backstabber

It was by far my most angsty story. It was by far my most cherished story. I loved writing every single second of it as my heart broke over and over and over again.

2 Basorexia

It was just a fun one-shot where I got to explore so many POVs that I’ve never written before.

3 Effloresce

It was so borderline AU that it really gave me the courage and confidence to go full blown AU. It was such a fun Hinny story.

4 Scones

Because James Sirius is a little shit and Ginny would love her hectic Mother’s Days.

5 Brumous

I would put this higher but I legit just started it. It’s a pet project I’ve thought about for YEARS and now I’m finally writing it. It’s gone through a lot of drafts in my head of where I’d start the divergence and what would happen, but I’m rather pleased with it so far.

your top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release in the new year

1 Precipice

This story is really going to tear my action-writing skills but I am so excited for it. It’s really unique and I haven’t read anything like it before. You know I strive for unique. I’m excited to show my new Horcrux traps and how Ginny falls off the deep end.

2 Bête Noire

This is such a self-indulgent story. It’s no secret Sirius is my favorite character and I haven’t been shy about how I hate how he’s portrayed a lot of the time. So I’m excited to really give him a strong trauma background with this story

3 Thrice

I have a few short stories planned in the first war. One of them is a short 4-chapter story about the three times Jily defied Voldemort. The last chapter is pure fluff of Harry being born and then the prophecy coming to light - so the consequences of defying him thrice

4 Lacuna

My year after the war story that went from canon compliant to AU compliant. I’m not sure if I’ll get to it next year, but here’s to hoping!

your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year

1 Better charts

I have finally found a way to organize my many charts so I can easily find information while writing to keep it all consistent from story-to-story

2 Branching Out on POVs

I started out just exclusively writing Harry and Ginny POVs. Over the last year, I’ve really juggled different POVs and converging those POVs together to tell cohesive stories where you see the action from multiple angles. That’s been hard yet fun

3 Getting better at writing action scenes

I still have panic attacks when I have to write an action scene but I don’t spend nearly as much time or agonize over them as much. I’m really trying not to freak out over them and I’m told I’m decent. But that might just be people being nice to me because they know I’m a weeper.

your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year

1 To write what I want to write and not be influenced by outside sources. I just need to tell the stories I want to tell and say fuck it to the haters and the people telling me they dislike my direction that I’m going. I need to stop listening to people who try to force me to write something I don’t want to write. I love prompts and people leaving their ideas in reviews as long as there is no pressure to write it. But I just felt a lot of pressure last year and writing became not so much fun.

2 Just to have my confidence in general. I worry sometimes my ideas aren’t good or I shouldn’t write certain plots because I’m worried people won’t like them. I almost deleted my Fleamont POV in Bête Noire and Bell basically said she’d disown me if I did. So yeah, just more confidence.

and your number 1 favorite line you've written this year

Uh… how about speech? Full quote? Sirius’ latest mental break in Brumous had me sobbing.

Sirius laughed, his head shaking. "Yeah, I could have my life back. That's fucking hilarious, you know that, right? I have a bounty over my head for thirteen murders I didn't commit. One of the victims isn't even ruddy dead! I'm stuck in a house I vowed to never return to. I've buried the only parents I ever knew, buried my only true brother and his wife, and have a godson who is wanted by a fucking psychopath! Nothing about my life right now is normal or easy and I certainly can't go back to the person I was fourteen years ago. That Sirius is dead. He died the summer his girlfriend was supposedly murdered. The nail in the coffin hit as soon as he saw his best mate cold on the fucking floor of his house. I can't have my life back, Andy, because that life doesn't fucking exist anymore." - Brumous, Chapter Eight: Occlumency

We have Kema and Sofia

Kema Umi is a Human, who ran away from her parents at 13 to be with her lover, however he was shot and killed by a hunter,

Kema was later been found by Y/N, she helped her and took her in to her home as she took care of the wounded gal. She tends to her wounds and keep an eye on her until she gets better,

Soon After a few days Y/N found Kema she offers her to join her, with her best friends (Researcher, Nathan and Luke) on their little group if she wants to join her on an adventure. To keep her company and help her feel that she's never alone on this and there is no need to isolate herself from the world despite all that struggle Shes having. Y/N believes that this might help her friend to shake off that grief and a lil adventure on the outside may keep her in check.

Kema may have undergo a lot of heartaches because of the loss of her lover, she still has her friends to keep her in check, happy and smiling and comfort her all the time. And as they all go together, embarking their journey to see what this mysterious world offers to them.

Kema was never seen without a black dagger. Ever since she was found she's always afraid of getting hunted and killed again and she never lets her guard down so that's why

Sofia Linkina is one of the only angel fairies to exist on the planet, she was born with the power to make beautiful flowers from her hand, her mother died at 11 and her father is always out hunting for food, she has heard of the urban legend of a species called humans, she always dreams of seeing one although the other Fairies are strictly prohibited on getting out of their habitats.

Ivy as one of the efflorescence and garden fae warriors and guardians she was responsible on keeping the grove safe. Although due to the aftermath of the incident. This Warrior set her weapon down and left her other fellow fairies because of her grief and solitude she begun isolating herself from every faes she knows as she starts residing on the other areas in Jade Country only other few faes know.

Sofia was eager that one day she will meet a human although she is too scared to get out of the grove and she believes Ivy is the only one can help her reach that goal and dream. But in order to do that she needs to find her. Thus ask her to aid her on her journey to learn about humanity.

KEMA and SOFIA belongs to @alcohol1maid

hi, navy! i’m in love with your florist!bucky au and how sweet and sinful you write him 🥵 i don’t wanna sound rude(?) but the part titled “petal” and the newest titled “effervescent” aren’t listed in your masterlist. just thought i’d point it out in case you weren’t aware 😚😚 anyways, goin’ back to my binge reading of your fics now<33

Hi, lovely! I got your other ask below, so knocking them both out. 😉 I'm glad Petal is there! I was worried I missed it.

But yes! I do need to add Efflorescence to my Masterlist. I have a few lists that need to be updated, so not rude that you questioned it. It's in my pinned post for the time being. 💙

And thank you for showing our florist some love. I adore him and can't wait to share more. 🥰

Augmentation massive de phytoplancton dans l’Océan Arctique

Par Alison Plourde-Sirois

Les floraisons de phytoplancton grandissent plus rapidement qu’auparavant, perturbant l’écosystème marin. En Arctique, leur rythme de production aurait plus que doublé en 20 ans (Oceanographic : 2022).

L’existence du phytoplancton est encore méconnue du grand public. Pourtant, ces minuscules algues microscopiques sont à la base des écosystèmes marins. Comme les plantes terrestres, le phytoplancton possède de la chlorophylle pour capter la lumière du soleil. Ils utilisent ensuite la photosynthèse pour transformer cette lumière en énergie chimique et en sucre jouant ainsi un rôle essentiel dans la régulation des flux de carbone planétaire. Le phytoplancton constitue la base de la chaîne alimentaire de tous les océans, incluant l'océan Arctique.  

La fonte des glaces en Arctique résulte en une multiplication de phytoplancton, causant d’importantes conséquences à l’écosystème marin. Les floraisons phytoplanctoniques ont radicalement modifié la capacité de l’Arctique à transformer le carbone atmosphérique en matière vivante (Arrigo : 2022). À la suite d’une efflorescence massive, le phytoplancton meurt et coule dans le fond de l’océan. Les bactéries qui le décomposent épuisent l’oxygène de l’eau, ce qui impacte négativement les espèces marines qui en dépendent ; le résultat est une zone morte.

Le phytoplancton transfère chaque année plus de 10 gigatonnes de carbone de l’atmosphère vers les profondeurs de l’océan. Même les plus petits changements dans la croissance du phytoplancton peuvent affecter les concentrations atmosphériques de dioxyde de carbone, ce qui affecte les températures de surface mondiales (Lindsey, 2010). 

Réponse du phytoplancton au réchauffement climatique

Figure 1. Effet de l’augmentation de la température sur la stratification, la redistribution des nutriments et la production de phytoplanctons.

La croissance du phytoplancton varie selon les saisons. Quand les latitudes sont élevées, les floraisons plafonnent au printemps et en été. Malgré le soleil au printemps, l'océan Arctique demeure recouvert d'une épaisse banquise de neige qui réfléchit presque 100% des rayons solaires. Cette chaleur permet aux rayons solaires de pénétrer la surface de l'océan et d'atteindre le phytoplancton, générant une floraison soudaine et intense.

Cette floraison intensive de phytoplancton change la couleur de l’eau, qui devient verdâtre ou brunâtre. Ce phénomène n’est point positif pour les fonds marins. Martin Fortier, océanographe et vice-recteur à la recherche et à l’innovation de l’Université Laval explique « qu’une floraison trop hâtive au printemps peut avoir des répercussions négatives sur le transfert d'énergie du phytoplancton vers les niveaux trophiques supérieurs affectant les poissons, les oiseaux et les mammifères marins ».

Ces deux images montrent la différence des conditions de l'eau de mer avec et sans efflorescence phytoplanctonique. La photo de gauche montre l'eau en l'absence d’efflorescence, alors que celle de droite montre l'eau en présence d’efflorescence. Crédit : NASA/Karen Frey/Université Clark. 

En effet, une augmentation de nourriture n'est pas meilleure si elle arrive à un moment où les autres membres de l'écosystème ne peuvent pas la manger. Ce débalancement dans l’écosystème marin s’explique alors que le phytoplancton devient disponible 50 jours plus tôt qu’auparavant (ScienceDaily : 2011). Kate Lewis, chercheuse de l’Université de Stanford sur l’océan Arctique, mentionne que « l’Arctique connait un cycle saisonnier typique, et non seulement nous le connaissons, mais tous les animaux migrateurs le savent ». (NSIDC, 2020).

Ce changement dans la chronologie de production du phytoplancton engendre déjà des impacts sur les oiseaux marins de l’Arctique (NSIDC, 2020). Les poissons, les zooplanctons et les baleines ne sont pas épargnés. Lorsque ces espèces ne sont pas chronométrées avec l'arrivée du phytoplancton, le réseau s’en retrouve perturbé, leur causant un approvisionnement alimentaire insuffisant. Les effets se répercutent sur l’ensemble de la chaîne alimentaire marine et terrestre.
