a comic for @notedchampagne ’s Intern The Sixth AU, a tale in which the heir of the Sixth House and his cavalier spend a month in the gloom ridden and enigmatic Ninth House learning bones under the Reverend Daughter Nonagesimus, all while trying determinedly to ignore the fact this twelve year old adept is lying through her teeth about basically everything going on at Drearburh

🧬 nora-virus Follow You know what? This isn’t okay. Pathogens work hard to infect host cells and reproduce. It’s the only way for them to perpetuate their own existence. Letting pathogens infect host cells is absolutely necessary to prevent their total extermination. Killing is wrong! Immune cells need to learn to be tolerant of other microbes instead of destroying us just because we want to seize and consume this body’s resources.
This is terrible but today when I was playing volleyball outside with some friends one of their children (18 months) was sort of ambling around on his stumpy little toddler legs and so we were all trying to be careful and like not spike the ball onto the baby but then he wandered over to his father, who picked him up bc dad reflexes, and then the ball got passed over to the dad and he sort of had a no thoughts moment and instinctively used his child to smack the volleyball over to the next person. Like he just swung the kid and used his legs like a baseball bat. I’m never going to forget his face of premature regret mid baby-manuever right when he realized what he was doing AND the instant he realized his wife saw it happen. Anyway the baby was fine he didn’t make contact with the ball all that hard and he was just mad his dad wouldn’t use him as a club again but I had to sit down because I laughed so hard I cried.
There was no fishing minigame in kiwami 1 because if there were , kiryu would be like (playing normally) “oh this is a big one !!!” And then go HIYAAAHHHH And pull the fish out of the water only for it to be majima wearing a snorkelling mask (he was fully underwater so he was really just holding his breath) and then he keeps it on as he fights kiryu but all of his voicelines are muffled (because of the snorkel) and when kiryus done he lifts majima over his head and throws him back into the ocean and is like “heh… i guess not even my hobbies are safe from majima-san. I have to be more careful next time”
me in the coal mine: oh no i lost my canary because it’s so dark in here and i can’t hear her singing :( i better light a match so i can find my little songbird!
The wonderful Glass Octopus. Living at depths of around 3000 ft and only being about a foot long, these strange little creatures are rarely seen by scientists.
The long wavelengths of the light spectrum—red, yellow, and orange—can penetrate to approximately 15, 30, and 50 meters (49, 98, and 164 feet), respectively, while the short wavelengths of the light spectrum—violet, blue and green—can penetrate further, to the lower limits of the euphotic zone. Blue penetrates the deepest, which is why deep, clear ocean water and some tropical water appear to be blue most of the time. Moreover, clearer waters have fewer particles to affect the transmission of light, and scattering by the water itself controls color. Water in shallow coastal areas tends to contain a greater amount of particles that scatter or absorb light wavelengths differently, which is why sea water close to shore may appear more green or brown in color.

Fun fact! This is why there are some sea creatures in the twilight zone in the ocean who use red pigment to camoflauge. Red light doesn’t reach down that far, so there isn’t any light to reflect and the animals appear black.
