No, guys, Guys seriously, BELIVE me when I say I need to read more stuff about these three:

1#: fucking aggressively (& Ody’ getting sandwiched)

2#: fucking around, homoerotic fights & hateful tension style (AKA typical God(s)-and-Mortal shenanigans which may include kidnapping, murder, tragedy, complex + shitty feelings n emotions, Death, lots pride + arrogance/ignorance on the God(s) part (& also prob Odysseus bc come on,,), onesided feelings, brutality against Mortal(s), Immortals somewhat trying to rap theirs brains around the views, opinions + generally jst how that Mortal sees n feels about the world around em’ & more-)

3#: fucking aggressively but Odysseus somehow takes charge (blame my fucked up thoughts of the Vengeance Sage for this one 😋👍👍)

4#: dealing w/ each others insufferable personalities (and families oh ho ho, dont get me STARTED on the potential tomfuckery to be had that that heffsaas >:))) (lol I would O.O.C so many characters for my crack-treated-(sometimes)seriously thoughts :”))

Anniflamma started dis, I’m going to (try) and make it bigger >>>:3

there were three cutout foil eyes on my desk when i went to bed and now there are only two cutout foil eyes on my desk. i might as well have no cutout foil eyes on my desk. if the person who wakes up in the morning is not the same person who went to sleep the night before, how would they even know there used to be three cutout foil eyes on my desk. two cutout foil eyes are dead to me or gratuitous picture of our mumblelard wednesday

The heat suffocates him like a thick blanket. The train had been hot, but it is nothing compared to the station platform. Dusty and dry, the summer air fills his nose and lungs and suddenly it's hard to breathe. The chaos of Roma Termini isn't exactly helping. Santa merda...The noise! The people! Many are pushing through the crowd towards the exit, or hugging family members, waving, yelling. The booming announcements through the loud speakers make no sense.

Sweat breaks out on Alberto's forehead. The blur of noise and colour are dizzying. There is no water here. Not for miles. He can feel the absence of it. Panic rises inside him. Why did he come? What was he thinking! The phrase fish out of water has never felt more accurate in his life. Just as he decides this was a big ass mistake and he should definitely get back on the train and ride right back to Portorosso as soon as physically possible, he sees a very familiar sight in the crowd–a mop of dark curls and a pair of anxious brown eyes looking for something. Someone. When they spot Alberto standing under the platform sign, the worry instantly transforms into relief.

“ALBERTO!”

Any thought of going back home evaporates from Alberto's mind. He hoists his backpack higher on his shoulder and raises his hand, grinning from ear to ear.

worms, or perhaps wyrms. it was a fairly common practice to rear them in artificial ponds and marshes back in the day, but keeping them in the home aquaria has only really kicked off in recent years. wyrms especially seem to be fairly tolerant of abysmal conditions, and both worms and wyrms are often much more lethargic than fish and naturally fond of cramped spaces, making them ideal for smallish display aquariums. fish are, after all, expensive to import and difficult to keep alive. there is also a sense of pride in cultivating rival beauty within the native fauna, however disregarded it may be.

AVAILABLE ~ VINTAGE JENNY HANIVER / SEA DEVIL ＄1200

This is real taxidermy and a pedigreed piece. If you are not already familiar with my work I encourage you to Google me. My most sought-after pieces in my early years were my Feejee Mermaids and Jenny Hanivers. Many were commissioned by proprietors of sideshows and are still being exhibited today. Others reside in prestigious collections like the Geneva Museum of Natural History in Switzerland, Océanopolis Cultural & Science Center in Brittany France, and the Zymoglyphic Museum in Portland Oregon. Well-known private collectors who own them includes founder of the Baltimore Dime Museum James Taylor and film director Guillermo del Toro. This piece is coming out of my personal collection. I hung onto this one because it was the nicest example in this style. It’s mounted inside a wood shadowbox (antiqued gold finish) measuring 17” x 13” x 1½” with an engraved brass plaque affixed to the outside of the glass.

THE HISTORY OF JENNY HANIVERS ~ Mythical half human/half fish creatures have been part of maritime lore across the globe throughout human history. Jenny Hanivers, also known as sea devils, began appearing in European literature in the mid-16th century. Early Europeans were spellbound by tales of mermaids so native Oceanic craftsman began marketing Jenny Hanivers as actual specimens of humanoids from the deep. They were fabricated by artfully cutting the body of a skate or similar cartilaginous fish into a winged human-like shape that was then dried in the desired pose. Guitarfish and shovelnose rays were popular choices. The mouth of a Jenny Haniver is the fish’s actual mouth but a Jenny Haniver’s "eyes” are actually the nostril openings of the fish. The "legs” are the unaltered claspers of male fish. No one knows how Jenny Hanivers got their name but one theory suggests it’s derived from the way cockney British sailors pronounced the French phrase “jeune d’Anvers” (youth of Antwerp). Jenny Hanivers were not only wildly popular South Seas souvenirs, they also became a staple of Victorian sideshow tents.

ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SEA DEVIL ~ This piece was created in 2003 using a small skate. It was made the same way Jenny Hanivers have historically been made, but with the addition of several modern steps to insure its preservation and eliminate the fishy smell associated with Jenny Hanivers. The skate was preserved with taxidermy chemicals prior to being trimmed and shaped and the innards were removed. No sculpting materials were used anywhere on this, what you are looking at is entirely the skate’s body, the only exception being the addition of antler tips from European roe deer to create the teeth and horns. This is the last one of these. There will never be another opportunity to acquire one so don’t miss your chance to add this to your collection.
