Hello! I'm Lowarn, and this is my Tumblr. Some people know me as Cat.
I'm running a GoFundMe for a family in Gaza here. Please donate if you can!
I mostly reblog stuff, but I post my art under the tag #my art (very inventive, I know) and occasionally feel like I need to share my thoughts for whatever reason, too. Maybe one day I will post about my creative writing here, as a treat.
Feel free to send asks/DMs!! :D

My degree was in Costume Design and Making, which I do very little with, but I have a massive love of clothes and sewing! I really love traditional and folk costume in particular. I crochet as well, although I mostly make amigurumi.
I'm non-binary and sort of just generally queer.
I have some degree of brainworms about various media, including
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Homestuck
Pokemon
Warhammer
Dark Souls/Elden Ring
A Court of Thorns and Roses (or, as I affectionately call it, A Court of Shit and Piss)
I also love animals, especially bugs and fish, and I'm interested in stuff to do with queer and disability rights - I'm autistic and chronically ill, so the latter is pretty relevant to me.
I don't tend to tag/tw things unless they're, like, VERY blatant, but please feel free to let me know if you want something tagged! In the same vein, I'm an adult and will reblog/post things that are for adults. Please keep that in mind before you follow - this isn't a blog full of explicit NSFW or anything, but if nudity/suggestive content is a no-go for you, then here's your warning.
Thanks for visiting! I hope we can be beloved mutuals!
Bonus for people who read the whole thing: if you look at the tag #so beautiful on my blog, you will see a variety of posts where it's a parent animal with babies, or maybe objects with smaller versions next to them.

So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.
Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.
The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).
The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.
But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.
