#scallop

started a Stardew Valley cross-stitch project on a tote bag. i wanna fill it with my favorite items. first one is a scallop 🐚

Some interesting organisms attached themselves to the shell after it died, too, by the look of it - bryozoans on the inner surface, and I'm not sure what outside. I wonder where the shell could have settled, on such an exposed coastline, for such organisms to grow?

'chlamys' means cloak and used for many scallops, but I can't figure out what talo means. As the specific epithet suggests, it's endemic to New Zealand, and to the Chathams, down to a depth of about 40m.

Bakura doesn't really see anything to be scared of, Kek (Yami Marik in my au) helps him out with his job and hiding bodies sometimes but thats the most theyve bonded. Bakura still hates Kek but he isnt scared of him.

Keks perspective on Bakura on the other hand is very dark. He wants Bakura dead, In his mind Bakura is in the way of Kek getting revenge on the Pharoah, since Bakura keeps Kek inside of Marik's mind like how Odion and Ishizu do. To put it in short, Kek sees Bakura as an obstacle and wants him dead.
