Between the stinging cold of the dark and the beating warmth of light, uncertainty keeps me in place. Ironic that while afraid of commitment, I am fervently attached to this state of in-between.

"Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content." -

Sidebar: bell, arms, what? Let's close out the morning by checking out the anatomy of a medusa. The 'jelly' part that we're used to seeing is the bell at the top, which houses gonads, the gut, muscles, and the mouth. Arms extend from the bell, w/ stinging cells (6/6)

8 March. Do not despise the young stinging nettles which now appear:

Wash & pick your young nettletops & boil in water with the lid off for 10 minutes. Strain, reserve the water for soup & mash the leaves with pepper, salt & a little butter or cream.

Blue sea dragons (Glaucus) float on the surface & hunt Portuguese man-o-war. Not only do they eat one of the world's most dangerous animals, but they actually steal man-o-war stinging cells and use them as armor! Vid: https://t.co/JmmbZB6dwU

One of the most poignant tales involving spinning and knitting is The Wild Swans (aka The Seven Swans), in which the hero spins thread from stinging nettles in order to break an evil spell: https://t.co/EIeVUHewZo (The art by Eleanor Abbott, 1875-1935)

I did it, I decided to give that ol' character design a bit of an overhaul to something a little less eye-stinging lol. He's not gonna be my persona; you can't make me replace Haebaddon. BUT I will be using this fresh new look for an entirely separate character. Ooh the edge™~

Happy Ever wondered what the difference between Skates & Rays is?

A big one is that Skates lay eggs whereas Rays give live birth! Skates also tend to be smaller & lack the stinging barbs the Rays have.

Both incredible animals!

Here she is! White Widow!
her body is freezing to the touch and her venom gives you frostbite instead of regular burning/stinging pain

It was stinging so much I made a low effort comic to mock the pain.

More cards, it's true. This time a peppermint fairy for my grandma who turned 90 this year.

Everyone thought it was stinging nettles and I'm not sure if that's because I drew them badly or because the mint we grow is common mint so my family didn't recognise peppermint plants.

Watercolour. New love. Has fish in its name but is not a fish, has stinging nettles that are fairly deadly, and is well, drop dead gorgeous.
It's knocked tigers off my wallpaper for now, a considerable feat, that.
