RE: these tags on the Susie and Lancer Halloween post

In the case of the Rudinns being ordered to withhold food from Lancer, it stands to reason that Rouxls Kaard would be ordered to withhold food as well. After all, Spade King knows that Rouxls has a sort of parental role with Lancer. So the implication is Rouxls is straight-up disobeying orders in order to make sure Lancer is fed (even if the food source is...questionable).

fun fact: i am gonna commit a felony

#it is also very possible that spade just. does not believe rouxls is capable of anything remotely helpful to anyone #or believes hi mtoo much of a coward to fuck around and find out like that #and thus doesnt actually monitor rouxls at all due to how little of a threat the pathetic wet beast man is #which #99.99% of the time he would be correct. but #also i cannot believe you made me less inclined to shove rouxls in a fucking locker #like dont get me wrong he is still 100% complicit and a piece of shit coward BUT this interpretation #this interpretation makes me NOT want to shake him in my jaws like a leopard seal #i GUESS

Hey pookie

So i lovvveeee the harbingers. Can you do like penguin reader (or any other snow related animal) running around the Zapolyarny Palace messin with the harbingers and there like 'what the actual fuck. Who let a dam animal in this place ' them trying to catchus but we just like mewhahaha nuh uh

I refuse to believe Snezhnaya will have a single docile mob so I’m gonna make my own! Imagine a Polar Bear and a Leopard Seal mixed with one! (Walrus tusks?.. Walrus tusks.) I’m gonna call it… a Large Tusked Polaral! Anyway I’ll put a mild description before we start, but just ask if you want a full description, or a drawing ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡!

Large Tusked Polaral: To break it down, imagine the front of a polar bear, the back of a leopard seat, and the tusks of a walrus. Its front arm end with flippers and are longer than the tail in the back. The front flippers do look like paws though. The teeth are a mixture between the three, they have the huge tusks of walruses.

Taking a walk through the Zapolyarny Palace had become a common pastime for The Rooster whenever he had nothing more to do. Taking in the scenery… breathing in the frosty air of his nation, taking in the sights… the Large Tusked Polaral following behind him….

… Wait. The large Tusked Polaral following behind him?

Pulcinella turned around to face the fifteen ft tall - and it was still on its flippers - beast of a monster. It had to press its face to the floor in order to look at him, its warm breath hitting his face.

Pulcinella was never a fighter. Maybe back in his youth, but now he was a leader. He didn’t even have a vision, preferring to rely on his Servicemen rather than fight himself. So being in front of one of the most - if not the most - dangerous monsters in all of Teyvat without those service men…

At least it’d be an honorable death. They say a Polaral only chooses the strongest to die by her claws. To be struck down by one was a glorious way to go.

So as Pulcinella started to make his peace with his oncoming death, you lifted yourself back up and continued in your way, hobbling down the hallway. Pulcinella, who was shocked at the lack of his blood on the walls, followed behind, now curious.

He watched as you huffed and sniffed around the halls, occasionally scaring a lower rank shitless.

It wasn’t until you wondered down a wing specifically for one of the Harbingers that he got an idea. Speed walking in front of you, he stopped you by a hand on your nose. You sniffed at it before continuing on your way.

A smirk lay beneath his bushy mustache, and he quickly continued walking behind you as you shuffled your way down the wing of The Marionette. Sandrone’s workshop.

The sound of screaming not being caused by her was enough the drag Sandrone out of her workshop. Her large boots thudded across the floor as her puppet sat in her hand. Many smaller bots crawled across the floor like spider, filling the space.

She gripped the coat of a running fatuus that speed past her, forcing them to stop.

“What is happening?” Were the only words that left her lips. The fatuus in front of her stuttered out a couple words, thought he tripped over every other word. All she could make out was “The Rooster” and “Large Tusked Polaral”. She then let him go and off he ran.

Sandrone looked at the small bots that ran across the floor and tilted her head forward. They immediately ran forward through the hall and out of sight…

… Before a large roar was heard and they all came scampering back. Her gaze immediately snapped up and the sound of something loud clambering down the hallway. She readied herself for a fight, and found herself in front of what seemed to be an angered Polaral basically running at her.

And as she was ready to attack, she heard a voice call out at her to stop.

“Wait! I apologize, truly, but you see, I was just simply taking my darling here out for a walk and they got off their lease, again my sincerest apologies, Marionette.” Pulcinella spoke with clear sarcasm in his voice as you continued to barrel towards her, only to stop right before her and start sniffing her up and down.

She only stared at the large beast in front of her, then back at The Rooster.

“This is… your pet?” She questioned.

“Yes.”

“This Polaral?”

“Yes.”

“This Large Tusked Polaral is under your care?”

“Yes.”

She only continued to stare.

“Well anyway, we’ll be off. I suppose I will be seeing at the later meeting?” She stayed silent, but now had a disgruntled expression on her face.

“I will take that as a yes. Goodbye, Marionette.” And with that he walked in front of you and the both of you hobbled away.

“…How disdainful.” Was all she said as she walked back into her lab.

And later did come.

All the Harbingers had to deal with something to do with a Large Tusked Polaral wondering the halls, scaring the lower ranks shitless, destroying property, and honestly just causing havoc.

What non of them were expecting, however, was to see that very Large Tusked Polaral…

Next to the Rooster during their meeting.

“…Why is it here?” Asked Pantalone.

“They are my pet.” Answered Pulcinella.

“… May I-“

“No you may not, Dottore.”

“… May I-“

“The same goes for you Childe.”

“Awe.”

The silence continued as all the Harbingers - minus The Jester - stared at the beast beside the small man.

“…Why do you even have it? You have men. Do you need the extra man power?” Asked Arlecchino asked. Her hands were crossed as she sat, now leaning against the table.

“No, I simply wished them as my pet.” The small man responded, making The Knave huff.

“May I pet them?” Asked Columbina. And when she got a nod, she immediately skipped over and ran her fingers through your fur, causing happy huffs and barks to come from your lips. All eyes were on you as Childe spoke up.

“I’ve never heard those kinds of noises come from one of those before.” He said with a smile. You even began to wiggle happily under the woman’s touch, making him gasp in amazement.

“Oh! Now I want to pet them, may I?” He asked with a smile.

Again, all he got was a nod.

And he immediately ran over and began petting you, making your noises grow in volume and your wiggles grow in size.

You actually flipped yourself on your side and allowed them access to your stomach, something that was never charted before in the behaviors of any Polaral. You even had the equivalent of a grin on your face, your eyes shut in trust.

“Fascinating.” Dottore said with a grin, only to be met with a glare from Pulcinella. He only smiled and shrugged his shoulders in response.

“And what is going on here? Why is a wild beast within the walls of the Zapolyarny Palace?”

As Pierro approached from the shadows, the room got colder. Immediately announcing the presence of both the top Fatui Harbinger and the Cryo Archon. All banter ceased and your petting was stopped causing a whine to leave your lips.

You looked to the two Harbingers who had left to go to their places at the table you were all sat at. And then you were shushed by Pulcinella. Oh hell no.

“You see, I was just taking a stroll. And I decided they should come with me for one of these walks. I assume something caught their eye and I apologize for letting them loose and - Wait. Where are you going get back here-“ Pulcinella’s little speech was cut off by you flopping away from him.

All the Harbingers watched as you speed down the table and past Pierro, and up towards the stairs to The Tsaritsa’s throne. Immediately The Jester raced to get you down but was stopped by a hand raised by the Archon.

They all watched with bated breath as you climbed up and up towards her, stopping before her. They all silently readied to attack, before watching you roll over, revealing your stomach to the woman with a whine.

And while Pulcinella started to apologize, all eleven were stopped by a sound none of them had heard. Or if they had, it was a rare noise.

The noise of their Archon laughing.

A giggled escaped her frozen lips and she ran a cold hand over your furred stomach, you slamming a a flipped over the other side - akin to a dog shaking a led when scratched.

She continued to giggle as she felt your fur between her fingers. Finally a subject who did not fear her nor did they wish to user her wins as a means for theirs.

“You lie in no fault, Pulcinella. Even is you have lied of this one being your pet” she began, and all the other glared at the chuckling man, “Though I believe I have found the perfect candidate to be my own.”

Jaws dropped as she spoke her last word. Her frozen over heart thumped lightly in her chest as her unoccupied hand slid over your head and messed with your ears. Your barks became louder as they echoed across the large room.

Perhaps you’d be the key to truly unlocking her frozen heart.

I personally like the idea that The Marionette is not the girl, but the large mecha holding her. Making the girl a literal “Marionette”. Anyway, I hope I delivered! I was a little tired when writing this, if you couldn’t tell but I hope it turned out good enough ☆૮꒰ˊᗜˋ* ꒱ა!

Ok another question. Can u rank best seal teeths for me ? Very curious !

ohh cool i've never considered this question before!! seal teeth are pretty interesting, it turns out. seals are born with teeth, unlike most mammals, and they usually have 34-38 teeth, depending on the species. here's my ranking of the top five types of seal teeth.

crabeater seal teeth

these things have to be number one simply because they're cool as fuck. despite its name, the crabeater seal doesn't actually eat crabs. instead, it uses its specialized teeth to filter krill out of the water, just like whales!

2. elephant seal teeth

they're nothing fancy like the crabeater seal teeth, but they have to be big and strong since elephant seals use them to fight. plus I think it's so funny how they just look like two little points when an elephant seal opens its mouth.

3. leopard seal teeth

these look a little like crabeater seal teeth, right? leopard seals eat krill too, but also fish, squid, penguins, and even smaller seals! their teeth look very sharp and pointy. leopard seal probably ranks #1 on my list of seals I would least like to be bitten by.

4. harbor seal teeth

I like how they're so uniform and neat. politely sharp little points. this harbor seal is getting its teeth brushed! harbor seals don't use their teeth for chewing -- they're mostly used to get a good grip on fish, which they will then swallow whole.

5. harp seal teeth

delicate and beautiful. need I say more? the harp seal eats many different fish and ocean invertebrates.

plus: bonus pic of a harbor seal showing off its tongue! seals have bifurcated (forked) tongues. this is because they are beasts of the devil.

Pirate AU shenanigans in the Discord-

Jamison: Yo, wanna scream?

Emelia:

Emelia: Sure, why not.

*2 minutes later*

Selkie and Varcolac: *unholy screeching*

Karl: What the FUCK-

//I was debating on having Emelia be a Selkie for this one, albeit one experimented on with the Cadou and mutation, and with a few jokes I was ok enough to add it in. It doesn't effect the story at all and actually gives her the ability to have closure on a few things.

We also figured out a few shitpost-worthy ideas regarding her full Selkie form since she's a Leopard Seal.

THis was one of them.

Jamison belongs to xmothprincex - I got to draw his mutated form uwu I THINK for the first time???//

Fine. The Furry Roster, part 1 of however many parts it takes: All the Gordons are cephalopods. Reasoning: Freeman's deep sea thing + Swap's tentacles + Doc is strange and bizarre + Freeman compares Loverboy to a cuttlefish in Act 1 + Literal Actual Octopus "Gordon". Freeman/Storyteller: Architeuthis/Giant Squid Swap/Overlord: Vampire Squid (they're really weird AND the vampire thing) Doc/Hypnos: Firefly Squid (those fuckers GLOW) Player/Power Trip: Blue-Ringed Octopus (chill but also dangerous) Gordon B/Leading Light: Cuttlefish Seven/Last Resort Gordon: Giant Pacific Octopus Worldstop crew: Malcom Challender: Unicorn (something something his ability to manipulate Source seemed magical to the AI? Really it's just because our Malcom fictive has a ponysona but no actual fursona) Darnold: Pitbull (seen as aggressive but tend to be sweethearts; very loyal) Benrey/"Forzen": Blue dragon sea slug / garden snail (Benrey is a slug, but his Forzen disguise is quite literally him retreating into his shell) Y2KVR crew: Benrey (also Loveletters Benrey): Heterometris spinifer/Giant blue scorpion (for obvious reasons + they're blue) Spork (also Valentine): African Gray Parrot (They're smart as FUCK) Coomer/Lovetap: Mantis shrimp Bubby/Dr. Feelgood: Fire salamander Forzen/DJ Heartbeat: Mongolian death worm (this is not a real animal, however, they are supposedly attracted by rhythmic thumping similar to a heavy bass beat) Darnold/Smooth Operator: Cinnabar chanterelle (yes, the mushroom. Consider the emails to be similar to the mycelial network. I know this is getting weird. It will get weirder.) Tommy/I Don't Remember His Lovecore Name: Common crow The Restrictor: Raven (Half-Life G-Man is associated with ravens sometimes)

More will come soon.

"blackmailbutler asked:

Furry Roster Part 2 Of Something:

Admins: Admin C: Tri-color Monitor Lizard G-Man: Komodo Dragon Da Boss: Blue Poison Dart Frog Admin F: Blue jay (Like a blue jay, most of his aggression is a bluff; he's loud and abrasive, but doesn't actually want to fight) Admin P: Praying Mantis (green and can sort of punch things) Admin Darnold (he is mentioned one time in Act 1): Clownfish (orange + Darnold is mentioned to have been taking care of Joshua, which made us think of Finding Nemo because of the whole parental figure thing? Mostly going on vibes because we know nothing of him.)

Mad Science Team: Sleepless: Canada Goose (Acts like an asshole most of the time + Canada + probably loud as fuck) Harold: Protogen (it's MY furry AU and *I* get to choose the species. AND Protogens are COOL) Electrobubby: Electric eel (duh) Politerey: Duck (mostly because we are a Benrey and Forzen siblings truther) Project Coolatta: Lace Monitor Lizard The Old Man: Lace Monitor Lizard (they're monitors to call back to a certain other father-son duo, but unlike GVRV and C, they're the same species to represent them NOT being estranged)

Merch Team/The Last Resort: The Party Pontiff: Mantis shrimp Wheels: Okay so you know how people make anthro planes? That but a Greyhound bus. Yes he still drives an actual bus. I told you last ask that it'd get weirder! Tommy Bahama: Marine iguana (He does the beach tour IIRC. Plus I wanted him to be a lizard like some of the other Tommies.) Dr. Perky: Golden orbweaver (laser grid = spiderwebs, plus golden/orange color scheme) The Bellhop: Tropical leatherleaf slug (Vibes only. Plus he can retract one of his eyestalks to fit the one-eyed thing.)

???: Barney Calhoun: Harbor Seal Alyx Vance: Leopard/Deer (based on our pre-existing furry!Alyx. Eli is a deer, and she wears a little headband with some of his shed antlers on it.)

ok wait reference list for daemons because otherwise ill lose them in chat somewhere

yoojin: somewhere between a black-footed cat (tiny, vicious, generally solitary aside from raising kittens) and a house cat (wants buddies :( )

yoohyun: tiger. would've been a grizzly bear (air put it as "largely wants to be left alone but the second it feels threatened will kill you to death") but what with hyj's daemon being a cat he was like "🥺 im a little kitty too" (<- lying) so his daemon went for a nice in-between ^_^

yerim: leopard seal (EATS you!!!)

noah: brush bronzewing pigeon (shy/anxious but also they eat poison berries that make them poisonous to predators lol)

riette: specifics undecided, but some sorta snake that's probably bffs with bellare and DEFINITELY venomous as hell

moon hyuna: spotted hyena (deadly hunter, fairly social, matriarchal, Laughs At You)

song taewon: wolf. lol. lmao. grizzly bear-style, also wants himself and his pack people to be left alone but is willing to kill you to death if need be

sung hyunjae: snow leopard. partly because if anyone could match lord asriel it'd be him but also partly because

shishio: do you even need to fucking ask

re: lore for this 'verse

daemons for born s-ranks are the same gender as their human

daemons passively share some of their human's stats but they need to consciously draw on their skills, which usually requires some form of contact, but more skilled awakened people can share skills without needing to be touching (yerim's leopard seal can and does swim through the air with great delight)

furthest distance that a daemon can go from their human is slightly larger in awakened people and it increases a bit as you get to higher ranks. not significantly enough to make a huge difference in daily life, and it's gradual enough that a stat-skill FF's distance increase is basically within the standard deviation for unawakened humans, but it's pronounced enough in high-ranks to make battle easier since you can keep your daemon behind you and out of the way

speaking of, to monsters (like normal animals), daemons feel like humans, but sort of in a less pronounced way than The Actual Human Coming At You With A Sword, so they thankfully don't really target daemons as weak points for their humans. (though they might, if a dungeon raid went badly enough that the monsters caught on to which members of the party were the most protected...)

they do make protective gear for daemons and harnesses for people to carry small daemons around. hyj has a reinforced chest harness, kinda like a baby carrier, where his daemon usually chills. noah has shirts with reinforced shoulders/sleeves for his daemon to perch on etc.

#star.txt #sranks daemons #my sranks #still torn between elephant and octopus for ymw... #giggling to myself over yyy family unit cuz its like peace (cat). yoojin-cat. yoohyun-cat.

[feralmoonlight]

Ohhh, all of your Under the Horizon posts look soooo cool!! Your designs are EXQUISITE (as with the rest of your art which I am absolutely FUMING I haven't mentioned before because Hello I Am Shaking) and even though you said you might not have a BUNCH planned, I would love to hear any miscellaneous ideas you're keeping. IF you would like to share, of course. I love sitting in here and hearing rambles :) 🌻

You want lore??? You want story tidbits??? I have good and bad news! Bad news is, I had an idea that I no longer fully remember, but said idea was loose at best, and has been scrapped. GOOD news is, I'm rebuilding this thing from the ground up and realized the first run was basically watered down goop with no real substance aside from Mer Bois Go BRRRRR --- SO ok, where to start... UH... First up, have this horribly jotted down blurb about what the boys are that half turns into writing brain taking over near the end~

Mmmm YN is... I don't want to say depressed per say, but in recent years life has thrown a lot of bad their way with not too much good. They're kind of done with people, and the few people they were on good terms with have kind of fallen off. They're stuck, and the rut they're in doesn't really give them many ways of dragging themselves out without some kind of shoulder to lean on. The choice of throwing themself into the water when there might be something lurking out there isn't so much a way to seek an end, but more one of the few things that gives them a sense of exhilaration of actually living again. They love the ocean, and they're fascinated with the creatures they KNOW are out there. But they've only caught glimpses. There's a chance they'll be safe, kind of like swimming with sharks isn't necessarily dangerous if you don't present yourself like food. They aren't HUGE huge, they think, but they don't know how big they really are, or how many. It's risky, but the kind of risk that gets your blood pumping. Sun and Moon are, behavior wise, probably more sea lion/leopard seal grade curious/dangerous? Curious enough to approach with intent, large enough to do damage if they want to. But they're more generally territorial. First meet isn't gonna go smooth. But it's not going to be bad enough to deter YN from wanting to get closer to them again, though maybe with more controlled circumstances. The same meeting is gonna make Sun far more curious, while Moon will have his standoffish 'get the fuck out of my territory' attitude. Both know humans tend to be bad news, but this human is behaving strangely. There's no boat, no nets, no means of hunting them. It just keeps throwing itself in their area and it seems just as curious about them as sun seems to be about it. And when sun plays, it tries to play back. Weird. YN takes this as a new sort of passion. They have a day job, but after that, they start spending a LOT of time on the beach, exploring, trying to figure out where the boys actually live, cause by this point they can tell they breathe air, so they have to sleep on or at least near land somewhere (unless they pull an otter and sleep floating at the surface, or blink-sleep like whales do? gotta check on that) Meanwhile, the boys dwindling pack is getting a bit wary of how much farther humans in general are encroaching on their areas. Encounters are becoming more common. They've avoided being hunted. Avoided being seen. And when they are they run quick enough to be mistaken for something else. Humans are the reason their pack is small. They can't be trusted. Yet here the boys are, slowly befriending and becoming enamored by this human they're treating almost like a stray cat. Granted, the human is doing exactly the same thing. Now the problem here is, both sides will try to coax the other closer to their side of the reef-line. YN wants them to come to the shallows, and the boys are about ready to drag them out to sea to some little remote island off the coast so they can have their 'new friend' all to themselves, since they keep leaving for ages. Still figuring out some more stuff BUT this is what I've got for the start. Give or take a few more tidbits here and there.

so what your implying is, that heatwave is a fat fuck in the mer-mech au (affectionate)

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

For the three sentence fics post, regarding the comment you added about a selkie!Five AU

I know it's a bit different but,, I *did* have concept work for a siren!Five comic that I gave up on but I have the designs with me,,,, if you don't mind fanworks to go with that AU (pretend this ask is from the new-lorien-artist blog)

EYEZOOMS YES PLEASE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF YOU DO SOMETHING WITH IT

it's more like an umbrella of AUs based on the same backstory and brand of selkie, and i do have designs for them in the baseline AU that i've been picking away at for a while, but fanworks and alt designs absolutely are welcome and i'd be honored :DDD

i need to post an actual writeup at some point, but tl;dr is that the pod five was born in was known for--among other things--having beautiful coats, which is the main thing that matters to selkie hunters like the ones who managed to find their cove. they got just enough warning to start evacuating without having time to get everyone out fast enough, and hiding won't save them for long if the hunters are focused on rooting them out...

...so they decided to gather up all the pups with the prettiest coats, and send them out in different directions as bait. the hunters can't catch all of them. and by the time they've gotten the ones they do manage to hunt down, everyone else will be long gone; maybe they'll decide it's not worth it to keep looking, and give up. 🙃

five was, you guessed it, one of those pups. the plan, if you can call it that, was for the kids and the adults who were sent with them to eventually meet up with the pod again when the coast was clear. this was not what rey did, at all. instead he took five and ran with no intention of ever going back, and proceeded to tell him a Highly Embellished version of events to make him more afraid of the world and easier to control, and also just to fuck with his head in general lmao.

things go pretty similarly to canon from there, up until the point where he ends up washing ashore in miami (or whatever fantasy equivalent you're going with); and that's where the variations in cast, scenarios, other setting details, etc come in from AU to AU. which! i mean, there can be variations from before that of course, that's just where it usually tends to branch off.

it's been a really fun set of AUs to play around with; i've done a lot of tossing it around with @thecottageinthedark, who among other things came up with the idea of five being a leopard seal selkie, because a) Holy Shit Murderbeast and b) this fucking face

that's him. that is his essence. god bless

but yeah!! that's the gist of it so far, if you decide you wanna do fanart for it that'd be cool as hell and i'm excited to see :D

(i am also 👀 all ears about this siren!AU if you ever decide to post stuff about it, comics or otherwise, mythical creature AUs are So Fucking Good and i support them always. Especially when Boye is involved)

#asks #yeetsintovoid #new-lorien-artist #lorien legacies #LL number five #selkie!five AU #AUs #i am eternally [bangs fork and knife on table] about selkie AUs and monster/mythical creature AUs in general #and i welcome being tagged in them AND fanworks are dope and i am both honored and delighted #no pressure though!! i know getting stuff posted is easier said than done sometimes; and i'd love to see if you do #but the asking is really sweet all by itself and i appreciate it a lot #fave

[tysonfurybattlepass]

Heard you were looking for some anon hate, so here's some that I've thought about over the past few years 😉

Your art is pure garbage. Your shading is so basic and yet it looks worse than the drawings on wikihow articles, and your colors are an abhorrent mix that looks like neon puke. Literally one of the first tips beginner artists get is "don't use the airbrush". And what do you do? Airbrush the fuck out of your markings and shading! Your older anatomy and character designs were far more superior while the newer ones are a bastardized version of their former glory days. I'm younger than you and I can actually paint and pick good colors lmao

You haven't improved at all in 5 years. You actually got worse! You're drawing the same snarling cat 20 times a month instead of working on your backgrounds, shading, anatomy and compositions, and their jaws still look crooked with displaced teeth Every. Single. Time! I wonder how strong their bite force is when the lower jaw is at a 45° angle from the upper one?

All your characters look crazy and deranged and like absolute psychopaths. It's not a good look for your "brand" <3 And their torso takes up 90% of their body. How are they supposed to be strong beasts when their stumpy legs can barely hold the weight of your bad stylization? And you call that an improvement instead of godawful anatomy!

And then, and then!! Y're constantly making new characters, drawing them a bunch and forgetting about them! Algernon, Jarith, Lucia, Geneph, Xiaoya, Bailey, Jicama, Utah, Felin, Civen, Afryea, Thyodore,.Tyson (Aster's pet Inostrancevia), Donnie... And you have even more that you haven't even posted about? How does it feel to know that someone knows your characters more than YOU do? Talk about being an irresponsible artist

You're not even creative enough. "Here's a species that looks exactly like a cat but trust me guys it's not a cat, see? it has two extra arms!" "Here are 20 smilodons that are yellow-brown and have spots, but I love all of them and can differentiate between them!!" "Here's a leopard seal who's bigger than the natural ones and is a made-up species (who's supposed to be part bear and I definetely didnt forget about that) even though nothing is different between her and a regular anthro seal!!!"

I hope you give up on art. It won't take you anywhere in life, just like your autistic interest in paleontology won't help you. You didn't even get a superior education, so it's clear you'll live your life working minimum wage jobs because you're not qualified to do anything better. You’re lazy as fuck and you have no excuse for how weak you are.

You say you have 1000 followers but you barely pass 10 notes on your art and even less on your vents, and whenever you demand people to send you asks daily, nobody says anything. So not even your followers like you. They're just observing your every move and are laughing at your pain. The only thing you're good at is being daily entertainment for me and hundreds of others like me.

All your "female" characters loook like males regardless of what they identify as. It's as if you're incapable of drawing women.

Hooray for making all your best characters trans since you seem to be allergic to normal people. I'm glad you confessed that you support the mutilation of middle schoolers / transing gender non-comforming females (Azure).

You call yourself a "he/they" but you're still competing in the women's category cuz you know you wouldn't last in a fight against real men. You're such a failure that even your step father calls you his daughter publicly. (Your parents surely are disappointed in what you've become. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the reason for their divorce)

Only a few years back you were a proud tomboy girl, but I guess you hate yourself so much that you project your self-misogyny through self-identification and an atrocious art style.

You even chose the name “Tyson”, like that troon Chris Tyson. Considering the recent controversy, that’s what people will associate with your name, not whoever “Tyson Fury” is, and truthfully you deserve it.

You're so fragile being called a girl when you look, sound and act like one. Girl. Woman. Female. Dike. Lass. Lady. She. Wahine. Kaikamahine. Did this make you cry some pathetic manly tears? 100% sure you look like the soyjak in the soyjak vs chad meme right now. Can’t wait to read your breakdown on tumblr, if you’re not going to outright delete every account you have to escape me

Typical white girl starving for attention online behavior lmao.

You boast that you are "hot" but you are objectively ugly, not even mid. Your undercut is shit and your face is so damn bland. Your fursona is strong and beefy but you have a thin female body with stick arms and visible breasts. Talk about projection and an inflated ego. You're oozing with narcissism, and I wouldn't be surprised if you got diagnosed with it. It would 100% suit you.

Your "girlfriends" are still lesbian women, but you’re not one? “Transmasc butch lesbian” my ass, you absolute pooner. It’s not that hard to be a regular woman. Pretty sure you're not even dating them, you're just friends who haven't even held hands. And you’re still a virgin lmao. No bitches? 🥺 And you have not one, but two, because you're insecure in your feelings and can't commit to only one person since you need that external validation. I'm sure they're cheating behind your back because they know you wouldn't check on them.

I hope your sleep apnea kills you in your sleep. You deserve it.

L + ratio + you’re a loser + cope and seethe

Don't bother blocking and reporting me, I said all I had to say, I don't plan on interacting with you anymore and I don't have this level of hatred against anyone else.

Now, have I stalked your accounts until their beginning, or have I followed you for a really long time? Or a secret third thing (I stalked you for a really long time)?

the color thing is true but you should get a job

#bro doesnt know who tyson fury is :( #fake fan

Do you have any book recs for romances with an interrupting the wedding scene?

I doooo, though not too many.

There's On the Way to the Wedding, obviously, but I'll be real: I did not care for this book, personally. I found the hero profoundly dull.

An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera has a GREAT sapphic wedding interruption (to be clear, the wedding is het, but the interruption is sapphic, lol). There's a fab "Oh God what am I doing" desperate energy to it, because Cora Fucked Up.

The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt has a terrific I OBJEEEEEECT, wherein Harry walks in and is like "that's my woman--and also my baby in her very womb RIGHT NOW" and everyone is like *GASP*. He has to do a lot more to convince her, though.

The Hawk by Monica McCarty has a moment where the hero thinks he's interrupting a wedding. Things are a bit more complicated than that, but he kidnaps the heroine anyway and it's honestly pretty glorious because it underlines his true heart (that of a himbo).

LOL SHIT there's Munro by Kresley Cole, which is GLORIOUS. The hero (Munro) is a werewolf and he knows the heroine (Kereny) is his fated mate, but she a) is human and therefore profoundly does not know this and b) is actually! A monster hunter! And he ends up crashing her wedding to her childhood best friend who Doesn't Do It Like That. But he doesn't actually stop the vows--and then a bunch of Actually Bad monsters attack, and because he's a Kresley Cole hero, he's like "I can actually... I don't know.... kill like, all of them, and save your family, but I'll only do it if you come with me right now (and COME with me later)". And she's like "oh fucking fine I'll go" and they MAKE OUT IN FRONT OF HER HUSBAND. IN THE RAIN. TO SEAL THE DEAL.

#romance novel blogging #book recs #forever love the munro energy of 'oh wow he's. really going for it huh' #her poor little husband being like 'so.... i guess i'll just... watch....'

Monster Monday: Jefferson being a shifter(leopard/jaguar/polar bear) and the reader being his fated mate. She's visiting a friend, after leaving her hometown because of a bad ex and he's got to convince her to stay and give him a chance.

Because its not only Jefferson, but shifter!Jefferson, to say he was a little obsessive and unhinged was understated

It wasn’t as if he was actually crazy, but once he had gotten the scent of his human mate he had become focused and driven to keep them for his own. It wasn’t as if it wasn’t done before, with his particular brand of shifting, and he couldn’t be helped, it was in his animals nature.

Stalking their prey, stalking their mate, stalking you.

He had to make sure you were safe, he had to make sure you couldn’t leave before he had a chance to properly convince you to stay with him. It was what he had, what he needed, to do.

The further he got to know you, the more he inserted himself in your life, the stronger your bond had become. He was convincing you, making you believe you had a choice when in reality you wouldn’t have left either way.

And when you finally chose to give yourself to him, when you finally allowed him to fuck you stupid, Jefferson made sure to put his brand on you with extra force, sealing you to himself.

Permanently.

Well, I DID say on Twitter that I wanted to draw her as an actual Leopard Seal...

This IS actually a Selkie AAU I have! uwu She has 3 forms- 'human', merfolk, and seal! ... made mostly because I wanted to draw her with whiskers somehow.

Shark!Karl fucks with her no matter what, which... dumbass. He keeps it up and he's getting a hand bitten off.

//I honestly can't really blame him though, I'd do the same thing and promptly get an arm torn off ALSKJAK-//

@ruby-static "trolling fishing boats edition!"

Where orcas are now messing with humans!

Anna: whats got your attention?

Shawn: the orcas

Anna: isnt that grey?

Shawn: yep

Shawn: her and her pod are stealing fish from human fishing trawlers by trying to capsize them.

Anna: NICE.

Anna is absolutely amused at the thought of orcas just tailing boats to steal back what belongs to them. I dont blame her XD

Slate: stop looking at me.

Slate is an awkward kid around other leopard seals. Its one of the reasons why he actually left his original place of origin on the mainland and ended up on club penguin!

And the finale!

Shawn: aw fuck

3 leopard seals vs 1 shawn. Who will win!?
