#cartilage earrings

[canisalbus]

I get questions about Machete's ear situation quite often so I whipped up a quick age chart.

#they're not cropped all dogs are born with floppy ears and for breeds with big pointy ears like this it takes a while for #the cartilage in them to harden so that they stay upright reliably #his whole design just gets progressively pointier #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Machete #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals

knowing about how fucked up and evil it is that ppl keep breeding scottish fold cats is a curse because like I want to tell people to make sure they know how messed up it is but also like itd be weird to go onto any post with a scottish fold and be like “btw this cat probably lives in perpetual agony” idk

#(the mutation that is bred for that causes their ears to flop also affects. all of the cartilage in their body)

It hurt in the beginning, but it hurt much MUCH more later on. You aren't even really aware that things are happening to you. They are subtle like that. After all, They have had the chance to prefect this process down to almost the second of becoming like Them.

Unfortunately, the perfected method is very painful. You feel it in your bones. Just a dull ache that makes you think of growing pains as a child. Something that once was easy to do; no longer works for how your body is structured (like climbing a tree or how when you used to cry, it would always be with tears that made your face too hot).

The shift from bones to being in your muscles would seemingly happen over night. Tendons feeling too rubbery and bendable and cartilage always became brittle. The nosebleeds became normal, and you are reassured that it is normal. (After all, it is to them.)

Eventually, it buzzes under your skin. Sometimes it feels like a phone vibrating under anywhere that might have blood, but then others it's impossible not to think of their being insects just under the first layer. (There are no bugs in the End. You know that. At least, you haven't seen any Endermites...) You hear it in your ear drums. Your teeth rattle ever so slightly in a way that makes your jaw hurt. The perpetual motion makes stomachs easier to upset and falling asleep almost impossible.

But eventually, after sitting too long in discomfort, you find out the meaning of these sorenesses. It is so much easier to mold something if it has been made pliable. They desire to bend, to snap, to stretch you as far as you'll go and then go farther.

Watchers are massive things in their fullness. Large and hulking creatures that can blot out the sun at their full hight. But one simply does get to being that size naturally. No, they had to be pulled up; spines and fingers being elongated, arms and legs extending out, and smiles made even wider to show more teeth.

The smile is why Grian doesn't ever bother having one shown. He hates to remember hooks pulling at his cheeks.

The way you go from DMing me to put him in a microwave, to this, is always fascinating, really, a littol gift to me 🫶

I think the Watcher holds his hair back when he’s sick, or gently rubs his back when he’s sore, even though it’s their fault he’s like this!!

#ask #watcher grian #body horror #it’s such a slow process. i think it just happens to anyone in that domaine… or using the magic.? the more he eats? #taken on trips to use magic. to guide. to watch. and then slowly realizing what’s happening when his hands don’t stop hurting #boy ur growing talons 👍 #the vibrating/buzzing in his skin is his pineapple blood 😭😭😭 it’s canon to me #i understand him . i also get pain in my fingernails and ear cartilage #he’s going to grow eyes on his brain bloodborne style #anyway thank U twin for this u fuel me and my insanity over grian #creatureAU

I think safehouse jon should have a little freak out identity crisis then find an old thumbtack and sewing kit, badly disinfect them, and reopen his old piercings from uni.

the most IMPORTANT tmmn alien lore from the new ep was the earrings. no not the story behind them or the power. the SHAPE. look at the shape of the clasp. look at the placement on the ears.

the aliens don't have earlobes. or at least not ones that are pronounced enough to notice or commonly pierce? (I mean, cartilage CAN be pierced obviously, but it's a bit more painful than lobe piercings, and considering these were at the lil vendor booth, I assume they're the popular style?)

...they use clip ons. the aliens use clip ons!!! that are clipped around the lower/middle part of the ear!! not the bottom! so these earrings are actualllllly: ear CUFFS!!! which are an actual thing that exist you can get. it makes perfect sense for the aliens to use these, because they're meant to wrap around the cartilage of your ear without needing an actual piercing, and their ear faces down, rather than sideways like our Human Ears do! so! they'll stay on easier with just a cuff!!

see, same ball clasps to hold them in place as above!

so. hear me out...I bet if they like earrings but piercing isn't common, and cuffs are the Style, that they'd LOVE wrap around cuff earrings like these!!!

(x) (x) (x)

Also...all of Madeline's dolls/plushies/figures had ears. ears are clearly like, a Defining thing for the aliens within their own culture. So for fanfic concepts...earrings!!! as courting items!!! or in the place of wedding rings!!! Would love to see these concepts 👀

#LIKE. WOULD LOVE TO DO ART OF THE ALIENS WITH FANCY EAR CUFFS..WOULD LOVE TO /SEE/ IT. fanartists...GO #tmmn spoilers #tmm ref #tmm #tokyo mew mew #sanchoyorambles #ive had persimmon have earrings in her designs since the first draft of her in...2015?? I HAVE TO RUN AND CHANGE IT. #no. wait. well actually. her having an 'earth style' piercing fits her v well lol #QUEEN would have the wrap arounds. and be HORRIFIED persimmon let the humans STICK SOMETHING IN?? HER EAR CARTILAGE ??? #shes now corrupted beyond repair. LMAO #i will not stay up any later and do more clothes analysis. i will not..................probably. probably will try to sleep now. MAYBE... #BUT WE GOT /SO/ MANY GOOD SHOTS!!!! #SO MUCH INFO #(of clothes) (not as much lore as I wanted but a LOT more than i expected when tmmn first was announced so WIN) (but I am so Greedy) #(and still want more..)

wanting a belly piercing to accent my happy trail SO bad but healing takes like a year and idk if im strong enough 😭

#i finally called a piercer and asked and im just like 🚶🏾‍♀️ 6 month minimum⁉️ #txt #may just settle for a cartilage piercing in my ear

Do Machete’s ears have triangles cut out of them? Or is that a natural thing sorry if this is a stupid question or has been answered before

They have pieces cut out of them. He doesn't have them in any of the pictures where he's under 20.

I think I have an explanation for them but it's not that important. He doesn't talk about them in story setting.

#answered #anonymous #his ears aren't cropped either #all dogs are born with floppy ears and it takes a while for the cartilage in them to harden so that they stay up reliably #his whole design got sharper and more angular as he aged

surprise!

from 6 ear piercings to 8! ✨ (first pic is a before and the other two pics are an after with my new piercings)

something I’ve been promising myself for years (some of my long term mutuals may remember me mentioning this) is that once I passed my NAVLE, then I would treat myself to new piercings! I had 6 piercings- 2 sets of lobe piercings on each ear and 2 cartilage piercings on my left ear. other then my original lobe piercings (which I got when I was like 11), each set since then has marked something important in my life. I got my second set of lobe piercings on my 21st birthday. then I got my 2 cartilage piercings on my left ear when I got accepted into vet school. during my first year of vet school, I made a promise to myself that I would only get another piercing that I had been dreaming of when I passed my NAVLE. of course, as y’all know, I failed the NAVLE on the first attempt and postponed my piercing plans. but that’s okay because I studied hard, and this week I passed the NAVLE on my second attempt and I graduate vet school next week! with the passing score and my graduation just 5 days away (where I can officially call myself a DVM), I decided it was finally time to treat myself! I now have 8 ear piercings and I’m obsessed with them!

tl;dr- I passed my NAVLE and treated myself to new ear piercings, and I’m in love with how it looks! 💖💎

#sapphire rambles #baz’s babbling #ear piercings #finally got my new ear piercings #I’m so excited about it #I’ve been waiting for this moment for years #like how people get tattoos for significant moments in life… I do the same thing with piercings #I saw the butterflies when I went to get the piercings and loved them because I have a butterfly obsession and they’re so perfect! #matched it along with my starry aesthetic earrings too for these pics #what do y’all think? #doesn’t it look amazing?? #I’m so so happy #treat yourself #finally treated myself to 3rd lobe piercings #although they’re kinda creeping into my cartilage because of my ear shape but idc because I’m so happy and in love with how it turned out
