F'tagn?

What a cutie arthropod!

Cute nightmare!

Aw, he looks like he wants a cuddle!

look at the cute baby isopod

an tiny fren :]

Spooky but cute, I love it.

I love her, oh my god... And that buggo!

How am I supposed to do that up here?

Shaped like friend

isopods taste like crab, right?

This gives me Mystery Flesh Pit vibes.

God damn I love this.

I hope they find something cool.

Oh boy, there's a lot of cool stuff to unpack here! I literally had to look up bathypelagic for this; The low levels of oxygen in the water, icy temperatures, and scarcity of food sources make the so-called 'midnight zone' a damn good aquatic equivalent to scaling a mountain.

Bravo. Bravo.

Pretty much what I was thinking before I looked it up. I think C.S. Lewis actually referenced something like that in one of his Narnia books. The kids meet some Mer-people on their sailing adventure, and they do compare their darker depths with the high peaks of mountains in how dangerous they are.

Great minds think alike, eh? Maybe someone should write some books with mermaids and mermen as the protagonists. See what kinds of adventures they can get up to beneath the ocean waves.

Well, there's always the "Castle Swimmer" webcomic...

Hmm, lemme just look that up...

Huh. Interesting. Not much for gay romance myself, but it's good to know someone is working with the idea! Merfolk adventures seems like something that definitely needs more fiction written for it. There's a lot of neat ideas we haven't really explored yet, y'know?

That face says a lot of things xD

Deep-sea buggu friend has never done any harm.

Oh my god, it's so adorable, love the little gremlin sea bugs. Also, good advice to give, she is a good guide, would follow her into the abyss.

"Look at this thing I found!"

Cute as a, well, bug!

New fren ♡

oh no

Nice flipping the script. Climbing down to the deepest trench. Finding a little friend along the way. There's probably no intact bodies to be found down there like what is found on K2 and Mount Everest. Garbage certainly. But no bodies.

unless specific conditions are met.

True. Without the proper temperatures and oxygen levels. Both scavengers and bacteria wouldn't touch the bodies. The Great Lakes are young and don't have the scavengers like the oceans. I loved walking the grounds of the White Fish Point Lighthouse and Ship Wreck Museum.

It's real isopod hours here
