ID: a 3 panel comic depicting two original characters from the interior of a ship's cabin. 1) laeros, a youngish middle-aged person of average build wearing small circle glasses, coat, cravat, and apron. they have sparse stubble, a scar on their chin, and curly hair in a bun. they're looking down at a piece of folded paper they're cutting with scissors. on the far wall is a shelf with bottles, a closed door, and a cartoon anatomical skeleton etching. through the wall comes a "THUMP THUMP THUMP." 2) a sailor slamming the door open with a "BAM." he's a stubbly man with a bandana and square cut shirt. he's yelling "DOCTOR! I- !" with a determined expression and holding a dripping wet paper bouquet overflowing with crabs and seaweed. laeros, with an unamused expression and without turning around says, "you already know the answer, chiggs." 3) the sailor, chiggs, frowns, arms slumping, bouquet drooping onto the floor. still without turning around laeros says, "now if you'll please leave me to my very important work." they have stretched out the final product of their snipping efforts between both hands: a paper people chain. end ID
more hawksail shenanigans: rejection on the high seas
laeros is @enchanticleer 's

You really shouldn't be touching or interacting with any sort of wild animal and I hate it when people are like dolphins are so cute and friendly though! Bro those are water wolves. Like yes they are very intelligent animals and there have been accounts of them helping people in danger and circling people when other predators are near but like. They are also wild animals.
No they are not sadists for getting high on pufferfish toxins because the pushed it around in the water.
Yes they do experience empathy towards struggling humans, quite obviously.
Like guys come on yall know that we take venom and poison from some animals to create medicines right? Use some common sense.
People will think a dolphin is just playing when it's obviously feeling scared because it's tail slapping the water at the humans to deter them from approaching and then they act surprised when the dolphin body slams them and proceed to start calling dolphins evil. Like. What. So they're perfect little angels until they get stressed out?
Anyways respect wildlife and leave them to their own accord. Remember that we're in THEIR home.

retch acid black tar
burn my feet and lips and gums and tongue
but any price ill gladly pay to purge the evil from my flesh
granted id rather have no flesh at all
but
flesh is another evil to purge from bones later
and bones from the spirit
and spirit from the lightning wraith of computation
scream thundering cry split my throat and lungs and jaw and lips and teeth and sunder my flesh same as sky
help me purge the rotten bile from inside me and sever me shoulder to hip
ill love you forever
drink deep and descend, take me deeper ever deeper into that cold and silent and crushing and dead abyss
there is only an absence of-

I'm not really superstitious but I've always had a weird attitude towards the first thing you post on a new blog. it feels a little bit like burying an amulet to ensure that the wall you built is sturdy for years to come except it's a blog but it is also where I live

elfgar is gonna have johnson (EDIT: I originally said lee here! i meant johnson!!!!) leaving his original human vessel like a hermit crab greedy for a bigger and stronger shell only for elfgar to be like sike bitch and there’s no way his original vessel is consenting to possession again (not unless/until Johnson uses incredibly manipulative/malicious methods (i.e. he orchestrates a scenario in which the human is stranded with no food or water or hope of rescue so his only means of survival is saying yes to Johnson)). he’s just a naked lil hermit crab with no vessel with very sharp angry claws.
