Ok so I'm taking a genetics class right now and in lab we've been given fruit flies with different mutations that we need to breed over the course of the semester.
Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.
Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.
And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.
Anyways, I've been calling them my yeast crawls and I am their god now.

Day 1: Beast
Late for day 1 of TES Summer Fest, but have some chaurus studies.
My initial idea for beast didn’t make it in time, but this was in preparation for it. It'll be something I look forward to sharing :]
Image ID: several drawings/studies of chaurus in fountain pen, assembled like a reference sheet. One is being led by a much smaller Falmer and one is "bowing" like a puppy.

I think I should just pull an uno reverse here and say the limit is no nose. he doesnt get a nose. removing his nose as we speak.
(this was an excuse to show off the centipede scar i drew because of brandys typo)
