i fucking love humanity and space. thinking abt.. thinking about the perseverence rover, lovingly nicknamed “percy” and the family portrait it has on it of the former rovers sent to mars 😭

how we sent an ounce of clyde tombaugh’s ashes aboard the new horizons space probe so he could visit the “planet” he discovered.

the pioneer plaques

AND the golden record on the voyagers

us screaming out to space hoping desperately to not be alone, that we are HERE HERE WE ARE THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK LIKE.

astronauts turning into artists after their time in space,,, ooughghg

Shout-out to girlies who don’t use any product on their horns and talons. “Yeah I only use a buffing wax and a gentle calcite oil, plus screener if I’m going to be in the sun” no, fuck that. This is about people who let the water stains stick and aren’t afraid of fading. The obsession with looking like you’re still in your 100s is so toxic and like. Who cares if you’re 340 and one horn is slightly darker than the other. Gore anyone who gives you shit about it

Super throwback with Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi! 🔥❤️ Is anyone else hoping we can get a new anime announcement? 2022 was Fushigi Yuugi’s 30th anniversary celebration and the Byakko Senki manga is coming out of hiatus this Fall, so I’m really hoping 🤞 I have also drawn Suzuno, and will be drawing Takiko and Yui too!

It’s always been odd to me that there are not any ocean scavengers equipped to take optimal advantage of large carcasses.

Like…. in prehistoric times, the oceans were full of huge animals… was this a problem back then too?

That was a twist I was not expecting.

So I have worked on whale breakdown teams before and it is dirty exhausting work. Even a small dolphin takes multiple people working the entire day just to do one.

So I would assume that if a team of mermaids were to break down a whale, this would be a dedicated team maybe working on rotation for for a couple of months. And maybe even up to 5 to 6 months for a large sperm whale. So most likely from they would be contracted for a certain period of time. Maybe they’re only paid a lump sum after the whole contract is complete. Don’t know anything about mermaid economy or employment practices. But it seems efficient from a employment perspective.

I’ve only broken down whales on land, so you are either on a beach or in a lab setting. But I would assume that mermaids would be stationed on the drifting whale and working on it until the job is done. Maybe attaching some platforms are scaffolding to rest after work or take breaks.

Whale break down is also mostly manual labor. It is dirty exhausting work and I can see maybe young mermaids being conscripted for something like this, especially if they are poor and lack employment options or as part of punishment as a form of community service or terms of parole. The drifting carcass essentially functioning as a labor camp and the workers stigmatized by their role. Is there a such a thing as mermaid labor law? Perhaps the shifts are long, rations are tiny and working conditions poor. Got a typhoon heading in with rough seas? Suck it up. Gotta keep cutting. Blubber ain’t going to harvest itself.

Like I can easily see this as a premise for a young mermaid to try to join up with a passing human ship in search of something better. Maybe a young mermaid from poor family and a minor criminal record with nothing to look forward to other than whale salvage, joins up with a questionable human operation such as a drugs smuggling ship or some pirates or a slave ship or Royal Caribbean cruise line, you get the gist. Adventures ensue….etc

Here’s some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don’t need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles
