Gently hands you these so w can watch together.


HORSESHOE CRAB BOIS!
I love these guys. It's so crazy you can just walk out on a random beach and see a bunch of heckin' 480 million year old living fossil dudes just sitting there, minding their own business. It's bonkers. Physiological evolution is for chumps. (also they unlocked a rare unique blood perk so that's cool).
It's also a case of the English word for something being very underwhelming. 'Horseshoe crab', really? This thing that doesn't even look like a crab and is one of the very few things left on this earth that is not (yet) carcinized? That only in the most abstract way possible actually resembles a horseshoe? All the alternate names for them are also just "thing crab".
I dunno, they're just so weird and unique that it just seems wrong to name them after other things. I would like to call them Blomblers™ instead.

this reeks of a conversation we would have

An art project for school! (:
My art class has us each focus on a theme for the portfolios we make over the course of the year. Mine is focusing on world building, with a focus on creature and character design. As I’ve been working on it, there’s been a growing focus on a seafaring culture and port city.

[ID: A charcoal sketch of horseshoe crab, done in black and white, on coffee stained paper, to look like aged parchment. It’s shown from the top down, and shaded with crosshatching. What looks like several black ink splotches are on the lower left corner of the paper. End ID]

This was my first time working with leather because I got a burning desire for a bag shaped like a horseshoe crab. It has two zippered compartments, and an adjustable strap so it can be worn at my side as a cross-body bag or on my back more like a backpack.
Not sure if more or less funny with appropriate context…
cannot WAIT to be the coolest person everywhere I go. people are going to be clamoring to know where I got my horseshoe crab
