A Deep Sea Friend: The Blob Sculpin. These Are Also Known As "blobfish," Which Won The Price For World's

A blobfish sits on the sandy, purple sea bed, illuminated by the light beam of a submarine. Its thin tail is green-blue and another fin of the same color waves down from the base of the tail to the mid-back. The body is a soft gray and triangular. Two fan-like fins frame the face on either side. It is bulbous and like the rest of the body studded with small white bumps. Its eye is small, black, and gleaming with quiet knowing.

A deep sea friend: the blob sculpin. These are also known as "blobfish," which won the price for world's ugliest animal a few years back. Why doesn't it look like the blobfish you've seen on the internet? With bulbous noses and frowning lips and pink flesh? Those blobfish were dead and photographed after removing them from their seabed homes (1,600 to 9,200 ft deep) in the pacific. Reeling them up causes their bodies to rapidly expand because of the pressure change, which causes them to become pink and bloated. This blob sculpin rests peacefully on the ocean floor, staring up at the light of a submarine that illuminates it. Soon, it will swim off into the dark, hunting small crustaceans.

A tea shop in the early morning light with pinkish tile floors and aquamarine walls. Along the left wall, there's a small wood table with two brass samovars and a few paper sample cups. Next to it, a bookshelf filled with brass tea containers. A set of three wooden counters arranged in a square with an open side on the left. Behind it, A purple curtain shuts off the back from the front of the shop. The furthest counter from the viewer has three old-fashioned style candy jars brimming with scones and a pastry case filled with tarts, cookies, cinnamon rolls and lemon bars. The two shelves inside the counter are filled with white cups and tea pots and black trays. Behind the cash register, a blond man in his early twenties stands wearing a white collared long-sleeve shirt, a green apron, and black pants. He pours a cup of tea into a pot. He looks over his shoulder smiling as the steam coalesces into a translucent humpback whale.

No whales were hurt in in the making of this tea.

A white mug sits on a wooden table in the morning sun. Inside the mug, there is a small coral reef with green, pink, yellow, and purple corals and anemones. Above the reef, many fish in the same colors swim. Near the top of the water, a school of five eagle rays swims near the right edge of the mug and a black tipped reef shark swims near the left edge. The water's surface ripples and shimmers. On the outside of the mug's left side, a white hand rests. A black sweater pools around its wrist

I think something is wrong with my coffee maker....

A photograph with a black background of four people in Winnie the Pooh onesies. The left most person is the tallest and is in a piglet onesie. They have light skin and long pink hair pulled back in a ponytail. They smile sheepishly with their hands in a big pocket. The person next to them is in a pooh onesie. They are Indian and are holding a piece sign over their right eye. They are grinning. Next to them in an eeyore onesie is a black woman of the same height with the ends of her natural short hair dyed purple. She has her arm around the person in the pooh onesie and has a half-smile. There's a red diamond-shaped pendant on a cord around her neck. The last person in the line up is the second tallest and wears a tigger onesie. They have white hair, a happy smile, and a black choker around their neck. They're doing nya paws.

Some young punks in coordinated Winnie the Pooh onesies. Surprisingly, Chel's idea.

Kira (piglet): Hey Chel, why are we wearing these again?

Chel (eeyore): Halloween!

Kira: Yeah, but why Winnie the Pooh?

Midas (pooh): Cause it's fun! Now smile! The timer's about to go off!

Lace (tigger): Everybody say punk's not dead!

Everyone: Punk's not dead!

A dark blue werewolf silhouetted against a full slightly orange moon in a dark blue sky. Their ears are back and they're looking down sadly at their right hand's claws. Written on an arc above the moon is "You're a Werewolf" in scratches. Below the moon on an arc is written "and I'm a full moon." The lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.

I like werewolves. I like song lyrics. I see song lyrics about sad werewolves: I draw. Lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.
