closely related to sharks but with long, flat bodies and wing-like pectoral fins, mobula rays are ideally suited to swooping through the water - here off the gulf of california - yet seem equally at home in the air, so much so that they have earned the name “flying rays”. mobula rays can reach heights of more than two metres, remaining airborne for several seconds.
mobula rays are quite elusive and difficult to study, so biologists are not quite sure why they jump out of the water. theories vary from a means of communication, to a mating ritual (though both males and females jump), or as a way to shed themselves of parasites. they could also be jumping as a way of better corralling their pray, as seen with them swimming in a circular formation.
what is known about mobula rays is that they reach sexual maturity late and their investment in their offspring is more akin to mammals than other fishes, usually producing just a single pup after long pregnancies, all of which makes them extremely vulnerable to commercial fishing, especially as a species that likes to come together in large groups.
A cute lil’ kitty. I sorta based it off of Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus. But it was kinda a Halloween sorta thing. Just trying something
I've seen a lot of doom and gloom from the Yuri on Ice fandom, and I get it--it's super disappointing. I was hoping for Ice Adolescence, too, and losing that hope is hard.
However, I can promise you, the fandom isn't going anywhere. It's not over. There are SO MANY fandoms that have survived and even become stronger after the source material ended. Star Trek's TOS is HUGE, and the last bit of canon was a movie in the 1990s. If anything, the fandom has made it bigger than ever, because they refuse to stop writing and drawing and thirsting for Spock.
You can do this with YOI. You HAVE done this for all these years. Keep writing. Keep drawing. Keep thirsting for Viktor. Do that and this fandom will continue to be the amazing place you built it to be.
We don't need new canon, because Yuri on Ice is basically perfect as-is. Be disappointed, but don't quit. This place is special.
