They are really beautiful tbh and I find them mesmorizing to watch in aquariums ~ You go right ahead and get stung by one and pee on it and you tell me how that works out for you

Ya'll can stay away from my 3rd age lol ALSO HEY STARIIIIIIIII REEEEEEEEEEEE

About the same as this. Whatever it is comes and goes, like you'll feel alright for a few hours then feel bad for a few hours x.X I'm staying home from school tomorrow just to make sure I get better~

It's raininggggg

Talked to some friends online, wrote a jellyfish blog, played OSRS.. not much else

Did you know jellyfish don't have a brain? They also don't have hearts or a central nervous system. They do however have a collective of nerves forming a nerve net. This allows them to sense and respond to stimuli such as touch, light, and temperature. Despite this, they can still perform complex behaviors, including swimming, feeding, and even learning. These are just a few facts I'm going to go over about jellyfish in this blog entry. Let's start off with a few basic facts about jellyfish. They are about 95% water. They have no brain, heart, or bones. Their tentacles are covered in tiny stinging cells called nematocysts. These cells fire microscopic harpoons that inject venom. They mostly drift with ocean currents rather than actively swimming long distances. Jellyfish have existed for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs and some species have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years. The box jellyfish is one of the most venomous marine animals in the world. The species known as the “immortal jellyfish”, Turritopsis dohrnii, can revert back to its juvenile form after reaching adulthood, potentially repeating its life cycle. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I'll go ahead and do a myth vs. fact jellyfish addition too. Myth #1: All jellyfish are deadly. Fact: Most jellyfish stings are painful but not life-threatening to humans. However, species like the box jellyfish can be extremely venomous. Myth #2: If it’s dead, it can’t sting you. Fact: Even dead jellyfish can still sting. Their stinging cells (nematocysts) can fire after the jellyfish has washed ashore. Myth #3: Jellyfish are fish. Fact: Despite the name, jellyfish are not fish. They’re in the phylum Cnidaria, making them more closely related to corals and sea anemones. Myth #4: Jellyfish don’t have eyes. Fact: Some species do! Certain box jellyfish species have surprisingly complex eyes that can detect light and shapes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Box Jellyfish This section will be dedicated to the box jellyfish, the most deadly of the jellyfish. Currently we know of around 51 species of the box jellyfish which are grouped into 2 orders and 8 families. Stings from some species, including Chironex fleckeri, Carukia barnesi, Malo kingi, and a few others, are extremely painful and often fatal to humans. This venom is delivered by contact with it's tentacles. The most venomous box jellyfish is the Chironex fleckeri, commonly known as the Australian box jellyfish or sea wasp. It has extremely potent venom that attacks the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. and the more severe stings can cause intense pain, cardiac complications, and in rare cases, can be fatal if not treated quickly. It’s primarily found in the coastal waters of northern Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Immortal Jellyfish The immortal jellyfish is the species Turritopsis dohrnii and it’s famous for its unusual ability to essentially “reset” its life cycle. It can revert from its adult stage back to its juvenile polyp stage and it can do this process multiple times. This process is called transdifferentiation, where specialized cells transform into different types of cells. When stressed, injured, or nearing the end of its life, it can transform its adult cells back into immature cells and return to its earlier polyp stage. From there, it can grow into a new adult again. Is it truly "immortal"? No, not really. It can still die from things like predators, disease, or environmental changes too. These jellyfish are actually super tiny, about the size of your pinky nail. Scientists are currently studying them to learn more about aging, cellular regeneration, and stem cell processes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moon Jelly This is the most common species of jellies, and likely one you've seen. This species is hardy and super easy to care for, and often found in aquariums. It's found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide and most common in bays, estuaries, harbors, and coastal waters. Usually about 10–16 inches (25–40 cm) across. Has relatively mild venom, generally harmless to humans. Feeds mostly on plankton and small marine organisms. Moves by gently pulsing its bell, drifting with currents. Good news, you can have these as pets. Here's a few key things to know or have if you're going to do that: You're going to need a kreisel tank and they cannot live in regular tanks and thrive. These types of tanks will allow them to float suspended in the water, prevents them from getting stuck in corners, and creates a gentle current for them that they need to survive. Moon jellies are very soft-bodied and they can tear easily if they touch any type of hard surface or filters. They are very sensitive to water quality. Because of this you'll need to keep the tank temperature around 60–70F (15–21C). Of course, it will have to be a salt water tank with strong filtration and keep the water clean at all times. Clean water is critical because jellyfish have no immune system like vertebrates. For food, they'll eat mostly baby brine shrimp or specialized jellyfish food blends you can order online and they'll need to be fed 1-2 times daily. Because they lack complex digestive systems, uneaten food must be cleaned out quickly to prevent water quality issues. Keep in mind, even though they look simple enough to care for, they are not beginner pets and require a lot of care and work. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To end, I'll leave you with a few pictures I took of jellyfish at the Ripley's Aquarium.

Heading off to write that right now SAMEEEEEEE but yeah, not even remotely a possibility

Cam ain't getting nothing and @Stari yeah lmk what you want and I'll make it ~!

Semi

I finished Konosuba, well the second season, and I'm watching Natsume's Book of Friends.

I'll do jellyfish tomorrow~! I was going to write one of these tonight, but I'm too tired at the moment, so tomorrow it is ~^^ & as far as I know, sea sheep aren't venomous or pose any threat to humans. @Kari ~Right lol it's always the cutest things you can't touch ;-; @Jellal ~Glad you enjoyed reading

New book smells

Online

NO IDEA WHO COULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO ME Happy Valentine's dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Me on RS on V-day lmao I CAN BUY MYSELF FLOWERS WRITE MY NAME IN THE SANDDDDDDDDDDDDD TALK TO MYSELF FOR HOURSSSSSSSSSS I CAN TAKE MYSELF DANCINGGGGGG AND I CAN LOVE ME BETTER THAN YOU CAN

@Sasuke @Ayame @Animedragon Glad you guys liked it~! I don't think a lot of people knows these things exist but there's a lot of really cute things in the ocean, not all scary lol ~ and Rosie, I'm not actually sure if you can have one as a pet actually, since it's salt water, you'd definitely have to have a salt water tank for starters, and I think it would be super hard to have a sea sheep as a pet because of the fact they only eat specific algea. Same for sea bunnies, and those only live a few months anyways. As far as sea pigs go, that's prolly impossible since they only survive at deep, high pressure and freezing temps. You can however have a sea hare or sea lettuce as a pet. Sea lettuce, and sea hare:

I'm not sure what the exact temp is but it's warm-ish and I have the door open to the balcony in the room I'm in and I feel nice

I don't like whatever I caught because you'll feel alright for like 12 hours and think it's gone then you'll feel bad again x.X I'd say I've definitely gotten better though and I have some OTC medicine and cough drops that are helping. I think I'm eating way too many cough drops but it's the only real relief for my throat I've found x.x

Playing OSRS with @Zariel and @Jellal, there was a clan Valentine's Day drop party earlier that I hosted, then we had a Valentine's Day parade in our clan and filled a world up we had so many people show for it XD Also gave some of my friends V-Day gifts on there

Pfft, at least he would prolly appreciate this AMAZING movie and the spectucular acting and top of the line CGI lmaOOO

Yasss, they definitely earned their name lol

Hi, welcome~! Hope you have a great time here and enjoy being on the forums If you have any questions or ever wanna talk, feel free to drop me a message.

Some of my top fave sad animes are Wolf's Rain, Clannad and Clannad After Story, Angel Beats, To Your Eternity, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, A Silent Voice, Your Name, Plastic Memories, and 5 Centimenters Per Second. Some of these are short, movies, and some just have really sad scenes and aren't totally sad the entire anime, but they'll definitely give you all the feels ~
