What’s left, pt. 3

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #my gf asked me if you could leave the quest area without retrieving poseidon #so i did that #went on to hang out somewhere else and probably finish a side quest or two instead #then came back #i've never seen the sea holograms in the drained area? #at least not to that degree #and i think the fish disappear once you drain the water? #at least i have some pics from my first time there #and there were no fish #...you could say something fishy is going on here

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

#tagamemnon #fischteller #can you fucking imagine? #like other painters trying to explain to him that fish don’t have eyebrows #and he’s just like ‘fuck you all at least my fish have SOULS.’ #and people bought them??? #other people were also like ‘FUCK YEAH EYEBROW FISH!!!’ #other people like me. #I would 100000% buy the eyebrow fish

alex and jonny give me an easy episode to draw challenge (impossible)

#the descriptions of the people in tmagp 8 really were giving off an ai generated vibe to me so i tried to make them look like it too #like the whole bit about their speech being just meaningless noise. vague impressions of people but nonsensical once you look more closely #tmagp #the magnus protocol #illustration #tmagp 7 #tmagp 8 #fish art #tmagp title cards

I always underestimate how easy it can be to entertain a teenager. I have this preconception that small kids find everything fun even mundane stuff while teens are jaded and self-conscious and need elaborate or cool activities, but my teen cousins are visiting this week and when they arrived I was in the greenhouse having an issue with the filter in one of the tanks, so I asked them if they could catch all the fish from one tank and move them to the other tank, and they were delighted to be given little dip nets and sit on the edge of the tank to hunt fish for 20min. As I asked them to do it I was thinking, it’s like those duck-fishing fairground games from when they were toddlers, they’ll probably think it’s a bit cringe, and five minutes into it these jaded teenagers were like, hey it’s like duck fishing at the funfair when we were toddlers, I've missed it, it’s fun :D

#it's my mum who has preconceptions about teenagers actually and then her concerns rub off on me #i'm like [teen cousins] are visiting this week and she's all worried like what are you going to do with them so they're not bored? #are there any escape games in your region? #the answer is no. The only escape game around here is the one pampérigouste thinks she was born in #but i made them play go fish with real fish and they were enchanted #tomorrow we will go for a swim in the stream with poldine

💙 ¡Hola mola! 👋

We recently welcomed a new ocean sunfish (Mola mola) to our Open Sea Exhibit. Just like the fintastic travelers that visit Monterey Bay, our ocean sunfish is making a splash as a delightful, albeit temporary, guest at the Aquarium!

When a sunfish reaches a weight of approximately 500 pounds (230 kg) or exhibits behavioral changes signaling their readiness to go, we release them back into the wild, equipped with tags. In our collaborative scientific community, where research involves public participation, these tags play a crucial role. They enable us to track their growth if encountered by anyone—including you—in the future.

The duration of a sunfish’s visit to the Aquarium remains a mystery, but for now, let's marvel at the majestic mola moments  while we muse on the mosaic of marine magic!

#monterey bay aquarium #mola mola a fish so nice they named it twice #were still convinced a group is called a guac of molas #here comes the sunfish do do do do #dont tell jay #sunfish sideye is a vibe

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

#[OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: he should NOT have touched the fish. do NOT touch random fish you find while scuba diving #especially if the fish is 6ft long & has sharp teeth #ESPECIALLY if the fish is a critically endangered species #being overwhelmed by the majesty of the coelcanth is understandable but that does not excuse his behavior] #[obligatory disclaimer 2: i know nothing about this guy; by 'amateur' i just mean he wasnt part of a scientific expedition at the time] #[obligatory disclaimer 3: i mean it wasnt CALM. its first dorsal fin was erect which we have reason to believe means it is on edge. #but it didnt flee like you would expect of a wild animal] #...disclaimers over. now im going to wail about how life began in the sea and we left & they stayed #& we thought they were gone & now we're finding our way back home to them #they are so beautiful and they are our family and they love us ok. they do i know it in my heart #coelacanth #Latimeria chalumnae #animals #andy original #ALSO I KNOW THEY HAVE 8 FINS by four paired limbs i mean the pelvic and pectoral the others arent paired they dont move like legs do
