This was news from thee newscast here (Tagesschau) so the article is only in German but here my favourite parts:

- for a long time the only reason they knew the worm existed were the traces it left on the corals it ate, no one ever saw it

- until one day they found a one point five metre long part of the worm that was still wiggling

- only the part was missing the head, and the corals continued to be eaten, so apparently the worm just got rid of its bum and continued on like normal

- DNA tests of the bum could not determine its species, only that it is in some way related to the bobbit worm (also called eunice aphroditois), so this might be an entirely new species

- the worm is called 'Phantom'

- they installed cameras for four days, but didn't manage to capture the worm, after removing the cameras the worm continued eating the corals - right where the cameras had been

- the guy who positioned the camera said to that 'Lots of material, sadly extremly little worm, as in neither a long nor the short worm. We haven't seen anything.'

- now they have installed a camera again and a popular german news channel is streaming the whole night so that everyone can search for Phantom:

season 1: nuanced and reluctant cop at the beginning of his disco elysium arc only instead of alcoholism his vice of choice is LARPing (& it has just as destructive an effect on his life and interpersonal relationships)

season 2: joe many liberals does it take to fund a private genocide campaign led by developmentally arrested child mercenaries 😂😂😂

here’s a series of illustrations i did for my junior thesis last semester, based on the book “This Is How You Lose the Time War” that I had made into a physical book 👉👈

i also made a character sheet — i understand that the book is kinda meant to be pretty abstract, so red and blue arent really supposed to have fixed forms. but i had to come up with something to draw for my style of illustration 🫠 i hope i did them justice somewhat

i didnt have time to finish the last illustration which was a shame bc i felt like it would have wrapped up the series perfectly, but heres the sketch of what i planned for it to look like
