#as the name suggests common )

[pkmnprofloblolly]

i entirely lost the plot while planning a response to a question and ended up on a sidetrack about the most recent common ancestor of the fox pokemon (genus Vulpes). Vulpes are the true foxes, though some other pokemon (like eevee) are colloquially called foxes they aren't as closely related to these guys. this tree is based on what we know from genetic evidence of the surviving members of the genus!

this little guy is Vulpes cinus, the earliest-known fox pokemon we've found, from 8 or so million years ago. it's only known from skeletal remains and we don't have enough material to revive it like some other fossil pokemon, so this reconstruction is entirely hypothetical! we do know that it was most likely a fire type based on its bones, though.

#pkmn #art #vulpix #nickit #zorua #fennekin #unreality #it doesnt have a proper common name (like 'zorua' or 'fennekin') so you get the scientific moniker. #a friend suggested calling it kitdarra which i like so much

remember when i said gunsmoke au was probably the angstiest submas au of mine? yeah? yeah. i think I've got a new record

Is Your slugcat Friendly to other slugcats?

Well...

they are known as a cryptid by other slugcats. a strange beast that is neither a lizard or a slugcat. an abnormality with an upper body of a prey and the lower body of a predator. they have extremely low reputation towards all creatures and that obviously includes slugcats! so no, they are not really friendly to other slugcats. they pretty much eat anything that falls into their trap. they are very cunning but can sometimes appear to be docile when they're not hungry also ft. random slugcat i came up on the spot lol

#asks #from now on i decided that ill be nicknaming them the cryptid #its a very common name but i cant think of anything lol #i appreciate the suggestions though!!they're pretty cool! so thank you! #nicknaming them deceit btw #rw the cryptid #rw oc #rw slugcat oc #rainworld oc #slugcat oc #fishdoesdoodle #mild blood warning #i whipped this out while half awake auagshs #thats why it looks kinda poorly doodled LMAO

Also, have to treat my ocs equally: here’s a selection of good charli (plural of charles) I’ve drawn recently

#for a while I sorta regretted naming him Charles since it’s not a very Swedish name and I want him to be Swedish like me #but then my partner suggested he could’ve been named Charlie (which is a bit more common here) and then changed name to Charles #as an adult #to sound more serious #which yeah is a thing he would do fhdkkjdkjd #Charles and Vlad #illustration #vampires

wanted to draw all the side character mimes but im quickly realising there's many of them that dont have solid designs yet and also i feel like im forgetting some

#and some spots where theres a need for a side mime but i never actually. wrote them a character #just that i needed a sideplot #hrrrm. #maybe I'll like. host a little thing for people's mime ocs. like a raffle thing #bc theres so many cool ones out there + side character mimes seem to have a running theme of. #half of them are already other people's ocs ive integrated into the story #hammy and vindemia and tourniquet and the likes #funfettillas name being influenced by the funfetti suggestion as well #also wow almost all of the ones i drew so far have cheek dots #i mean its a common thing for mimes ofc but just comparative to the main cast of mimes #thats a lot !!! #brambleramble #anyway take this unfinished page.

okay here me out guys

i legit have like a scenario (aka a fic that we have written out but have yet to publish anywhere) where essentially benjamin starts "befriending" winn out of spite/jealousy (tldr; gets jealous of brian hanging out with mac so is like "fine i'm gonna hang out with this mouse toon instead") but then it turns into trust as the two end up bonding

and so benjamin ends up teaching her how to box!!

also benjamin accidentally looks like the "let's take ibuprofen together" meme without winn in front of him lol

also bonus doodle because i thought of it as i was drawing this

#my art #should we tag this as suggestive? #i guess for the doodle-- #suggestive #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #bellringer #benjamin biggs #winn dos #prethinker #brian toontown #mac opsys #shit i need to think of a ship name for these four #if anyone has any suggestions please tell me #for now i'll just tag the common ones #macthinker #bellthinker #i know there's a ship name for mac and winn but i am blanking #☎️.text

There's a lot of things wrong with the both of them, but it is of utmost importance to me that they share some weird little thing together.

I have like a pile of ideas to get through. Maybe more fanfiction.

its very amusing to me when skilled horticulturists know fuckall about native plants

#personal #referencing the bonsai meeting earlier - i was complimented on my juniper and asked the species #species is juniperus virginiana. of which the common name is eastern redcedar. it is not a cedar. #i told her the common name to which she immediately said “nono... maybe nana juniper?” to which an onlooker disagreed #as did i considering i have a nana and they look nothing alike #and im like “i dug this tree up from my yard. its a seedling from our adult trees. the other tree i brought in today is the same species.” #she did not understand this and kept suggesting things #like this is a tree native to my area that i dug up from my yard. not a nonnative ornamental that was planted intentionally. #i didnt think to mention that it is in fact a juniper because im autistic and bad at thinking of things like that in the moment #anyway. funny in the moment sort of irritating in hindsight

Since Larian won't give it to me I'll give it to myself, but I like to believe that Halsin had siblings as part of the familial package, whom were all child named after animals (including Halsin himself), and in my mind he had four:

-An eldest brother (the only of them besides Halsin who got old enough to reach his awakening and name himself, though Halsin is ashamed to admit that he can no longer immediately recall the name he chose - he had been Kan for so long, Halsin cannot easily think of him as anything otherwise)

-An elder brother and sister (Cath and Gyrah, who were infinite blessings - or curses depending on who you asked - upon their family for being twins, and just shy of reaching maturity)

-And a later arrived younger sister (Who they all called "pup" because her name was Ly, and the nickname stuck so persistently that she would joke it would end up being what she changed her name to. She could only be bribed into doing things with the promise of toffee apples, which were a rare treat for them when their father traveled outside of the forest)

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #it's common in elf circles for family to be given permission to call them by their baby names - it's more platonically intimate #anyway if larian won't give me lore and everyone else gets extensive lore and HCs i will have fun in my sandbox #ly means 'wolf' cath means 'cat' and gyrah 'bird' - Kan is 'eagle' #they're all passed as is suggested - from what i still don't know for sure

soldier what is your opinion on mayonnaise

MAYONAISE IS JUST EGGS AND OIL

I CAN MIX EGGS AND OIL MYSELF

IT IS ONLY GOOD WHEN MIXED WITH OTHER CONDIMENTS. LIKE KETCHUP.

#the amount of time i've google #'where was __ invented' #to gauge his reaction #like obviously the amercan-ness of things isn't his only opinon on them #esp since america is a very young country comparitively and so we don't have a lot of inventions (food wise esp) to our names #but i feel like he enjoys researching things like that #bro can read but only when its about america #and anything heavy suggests is immediately out #no offense to heavy #apparently mayo was invented in spain #at least thats the common estimate #the actual origin is kind of fudgy #but russia consumes the most #or at leat five seconds of google said that #ANYWAYS'' #mod doesn't like mayo #so solly dont either #cause i have power like that #solly speaks #solly answers #lord i rambled lol #i have too many thoughts #rainythealias

ok ate my sandwich we're back in coherent territory. anyway i've been thinking about naming conventions in lumatere recently & have come to the conclusion that bartolina & trevanion's initial intention with finnikin was most likely that he'd be 'of the river' & trevanion changed his mind after she died. like. they live in tressor + trevanion's whole family died like 3 months ago & we see with jasmina (although arguably the situation here is slightly different due to her being royal) that one's place-name can work as a memorial (or whatever the word is). so i think the original plan for them was to name him finnikin (pattern suggests that this is a rock name) of the river but when bartolina died she (understandably) became the most prominent thing on trevanion's mind like if finnikin was all he had left of her then of course he had to have her place-name. what more could the son of bartolina of the rock deserve?

#anyway. i think this is something you can do as a commoner or as a royal but not the rest of the nobility. can u imagine if a+a had named #one of their kids [name] of the river? marriage-making prospects GONE #but jasmina's like the prince of wales if he slayed so it's fine #& also. you're going to suggest the granddaughter of thee trevanion can't be a river girl? get real

Question for my international (especially American) mutuals:

Have you ever seen this kind of dish, and if so, what do you call it?

I've got an idea for Willex Wednesday - it's been bothering me for a few weeks already - but I need some information before I can tackle it.

#To all my German mutuals: Shut up! :D #Wikipedia does suggest a name but I need to know how common it is
