This is baby's first cosmic horror. Incomprehensible, throws our understanding of literally everything into question in the most bizarre and illogical of ways, viscerally nasty, centered around thalassophobia, and totally ignorant.

    Technically they have swim bladders (most of them anyway) but still there’s no way that fish could alter the anatomy of just their swim bladder to fly.
    For a while I’ve actually thought of writing a story of a person waking up to find that not only can fish “fly” but all manner of sea life has taken over land, with corals and other sessile fauna encrusting now-abandoned civilizations, former land forests now sporting bioluminescent trees, etc. But the air now acts like water, except you can breath in it, so they’re not really flying. I’m not spoiling why it happens, but it’s better than whatever bright side was thinking. Also, as an extra little quirk to this strange world, not only are there normal sea creatures, but mashup species like in Avatar, and don’t worry, I’ll make sure to include Crabzilla and megalodon somewhere in the plot.

      The worst part is that it wouldnt collapse, the reason ink is expensive is because ink cartridge manufacturers put a chip in the cartridge that stops people from adding more ink to it and the printers only accept specific cartridges, which lets them have a monopoly on their ink and sell it at whatever price they want.
