Dola, by any chance is your favorite color blue? 'Cause it's mine... and I associate it with you. You're my favorite 🥰

—&&. @kaiakaya !! 🤍

What a coincidence because I just so happen to adore blue—though perhaps, not as much as I adore you?

Ningen by William 巴特尔 Bao

Early accounts sourced from a Japanese internet forum circa 2007- The Ningen. A gigantic man shaped whale like creature that stalks the frigid waters of the South Pole. First to be sighted in the early 2000s by Japanese whaling ships illegally hunting in the Antarctic water. For a creature so large it seems to be extremely skilled at evading human eyes. Some blurry evidence from underwater cameras hinted at its existence from time to time but researchers still lack any concrete evidence. The creature’s white beluga like skin tone suggests it evades detection by camouflaging with giant underwater icebergs, perhaps even pretends to be chunks of floating icebergs, making the search for the Ningen’s illusive figure even more difficult in an already harsh environment.
