Anthro Au Survivor drafts feat. too much worldbuilding because I cant just put pants on a slugcat like a normal person & my godawful handwriting

The Survivor (Their full, scavenger-given name includes the 'The') was separated from their family while traveling between colonies and stranded in the dangerous unpopulated wilds. Against all odds they managed to survive (and wander) far longer than they should have been able, but rather than reconnecting with their (or another) slugcat family, they instead made contact with one of the many wandering scavenger troops- But unfortunately not one that had ever met a slugcat nor had any idea what to make of a stranded one. Regardless the group gave it their best, ended up committing to the role of slugparents, and The Survivor and their troop still consider themselves close family long after Survivor finally reconnected with their sibling. (They're a bit of a mess though, understandably)

#rain world #rw anthro #subject to change and sorry if you actually try to make sense of this #but since arti is more anti-scav and survivor is a lil 'plain' i thought mixing scavengers in them would be a fun thing to explore #with the vanilla slugcats #unfortunately it means survivor was a very confused child who is a still confused adult #Also just cause of the way this is set up I think they have reconnected with Monk at this point #making this all so much harder on myself by not just going 'yea theyre in high school they ride bikes and drive cars' instead im being weir #and theyre turning more to rw if the creatures were sentient enough to do taxes #scribbles

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taz #i have. so many drafts of this post decontexualizing so many different scenes. #merle killing a room of autism creature looking things by asking them to tell the truth which then summons god #also merle retiring from his retirement to run fantasy margaritaville under the title Earl Merle #magnus the mannequin telling taako and merle to find the baby voidfish bc the big voidfish sung at him real hard bc in the century he #just now remembered (bc hes a mannequin not a human boy) #he gifted an alien jellyfish with dozens of shitty wooden ducks. he forgot that century bc his friend fed the jellyfishs baby a book #the gnome version of Teddy Rucksbin turns out to be the universes most competent spaceship pilot. hes also a talented opera singer #a man named Barry Bluejeans is dead and uses his ghost haunting powers to gift the three heroes badges that they cant see #right before theyre shuttled off in a cannonball to save a space lab full of kitschy elevators thats snowing pink tourmaline #barry also uses his ghost powers to hold hands with magnus and make random shapes in midair like a dresser when theyre trapped in a #fantasy version of The Dating Game hosted by ghost Jesse and James Rocket who steal bodyparts if you lose their game. #or like in campaign how a dude who wiped out in the first three seconds of ninja warrior convinces a human wifi router #who owns a bible theme park to take the apparent King of America to the white house on their hovercraft to be trued for treason #after he announced his intent to take over the country in a televised debate with an inuit goddess who is sometimes trapped in the body #of an HR worker all Donald Blake/Thor style #anyways. this show is ridiculous and i love it So Much

Fish fact #476

Hagfish!

This class of 88 different species are interesting fish, as they are the only animals to have a skull made of cartilage but no spine!

#theres so much info on hagfishes its hard to pick just one or two things. most people already know them for their slime #but they can also squeeze through crevices less than half their body width #they have only simple eye spots and no complex eyes but fossil evidence suggests they used to have the latter #theyre more or less living fossils #the way they produce their slime could be a whole single fish fact #but perhaps ill name all these in a proper fact another time #fish #fishfact #fish facts #fishblr #marine biology #marine life #marine animals #sea creatures #sea animals #sea life #deep sea #deep sea fish #biology #zoology #hagfish

She was driven mad by the truth (Clover and Emmeline love Hunter to pieces)

#that scene in ftf makes me fucking insane!!!! #their concerned little faces as they trail after him #like. hes not going anywhere. hes just pacing. they dont need to do this #but theyre silly brainless little creatures. they dont really know how to comfort him. #all they know is that hes sad :( and they are filled with love for him :( so they want to be close to him so hes less alone :( #do you ever think about how #clover and emmeline spent who knows how many years lost and forgotten #without a witch #i feel like a bond with a witch is the core of any palisman. they feel a void if they dont have one #so their little brains can certainly put together how devastated hunter must be to lose his ''other half'' #its literally the worst thing their little brains could think of. its heartbreaking for them to see #but again. thryre not the brightest. theyre just like ''he's all alone'' :( #so their solution is to attach themselves to him so hes not alone #thats all they can think to do. theyre trying #also i feel like a part of their love for hunter is influenced by willow and gus' love for hunter #considering witches and palismen have a mental link im sure they fully understand just how deep the adoration for this boy runs #and thats all the reason they need to love him too #(i cant sleep. so you get very emotional babbling about palismen)

i feel like i am losing my mind a little bit bc i spent over half of my counselling appt talking about my fear of spiders and this lady kept telling me i should just kill them, and that the only way to get over my fear is to kill them, and i shouldnt catch and release them anymore ??

and now i am thinking about it and wondering do they actually remember how to get into the house,,,,,, if i put them way on the other side of the house in the garden under a plant where its safe, will they just... come back inside? because I don't remember ever seeing any duplicates of spiders that I caught and released, it seems to always be a different looking one each time so :|

but she just seemed so confused and kind of amused by me trying to explain how i think that like... every life has value and I don't think I should be killing spiders if I can avoid doing that. and she straight up laughed at me saying that they are fascinating very interesting little critters.

i don't know, i just feel kind of sick i think. that was just really not what i was expecting and I'm confused like... is this ... the only way I can get over my fear of them? to just start killing them whenever i find one in the house?? that doesn't seem right at all to me but maybe I'm being too soft or something

they talk about values in DBT and how you must make sure your actions don't go against your values, and this seems very backwards to that, especially since this woman started the DBT program at the hospital. so i feel like maybe it's wrong of her to be telling me this, but also maybe she's right about this. idk !!!

#im just very confused #i just... should we not extend kindness to insects when we can? #like yes theyre creepy crawlies and they get into things but... they are also living creatures #they have inherent value just on account of being alive #maybe i am too sentimental or soft or smth idk im really upset abt this fdsjkl #i've always felt this way idk dsfjkl it is just a part of me i guess #i dont like how so many humans think they are top of the chain and everything else is lesser and below them #i dont think we should be feeling like we have total dominion over all the other living things on earth #its... a very white christian colonizer way of thinking. in my opinion anyways. maybe im wrong idk #i can't google the thing abt if spiders have a good memory and sense of direction bc i will find Too Much info or photos #and i . would like to sleep tonight. #im already so agitated though so idk but fsdjkl im kind of scared what i might find by lookign things up #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #spider tw

teen wolf if theyd kept derek an alpha and gave him the opportunity to learn and grow from his mistakes and also they didnt kill off erica and boyd

#soooo unsexy. 'true alpha' be so expeditiously fucking for real...and anyone who doesnt see his point is automatically morally Less Than? #like 'oouyughhhh...we cant kill this bad evil morally bankrupt creature bc then we'd be just as bad as them :(' shut the fuck #the whole thing with donovan...i cant?? like he was GOING to KILL STILES and stiles got shit for killing him in SELF DEFENSE??? #anyways. 'theyre friends and all live in avengers tower' except theyre all a pack and live in the hale house. which was rebuilt. truth

is deepsea a kicker i think they might be

#creature designed to swim and ONLY swim and its KICKING YOUUUU in its sleep #in general i think i need to lean into their body language being leggyier anyways #i think it just visually communicates some things more ie: frog/amphibian type imagery #and leans the proportions more where i want them to be (lean guy with swimmers legs) #and my in universe logic for them which is that if anywhere was gonna have muscle itd be gheir legs. hauling around that bigass tail all da #and i can just seeeeeeee in my mind. this is a thing that is always squatting kneeling jumping climbing kicking ect #i can see them shooting the harpoon past someone and then flying in like WHAM. kick to the face. #🐟 #plus i just think they need to be more awful. roadhog snores and hogs all rhe blankets and theyre a kicker who is covered in slime #and i thinj rat is the kind of guy who wants to starfish in bed so bad #like i think theyre just awful

Fooling around with more fantastical designs for the Layered Earth.

Nocturne and Sonata here were normal people, once, but they got a little too cuddly with some particularly weird magic artifacts, and now they’re, uh, not quite Angels and not quite Prophets. Angels are defined by their still being human but not having proper Humanity, and prophets by their being beyond human while retaining their all important capital-H Humanity. These two are more like… if something wanted to be part of Humanity, picked two weird college kids to be their models, kinda-possessed-kinda-replaced-kinda-cloned said college students and now they’re weird leggy army birdie thingies with twice the dramatic dispositions, and three times the urge to sing a capella in many-part harmony, and four times the audacity to dress like that.

Edit to say please click for better quality why do the pixels always get murdered

Close ups under the cut

#worldbuilding #layered earth #sketch #creature drawing #character design #anthro #technically? i mean theyre bird people not people people #look into nocturnes dead skull eyes and tell me he never dreamed of being a bird in middle school #ironically nocturne is not a night owl by any definition of the word #but he does like spoopy things like foraging bone bits and sewing by hand #sonata will probably have tattoos eventually i just dont know what she wouldnt want on her arms or legs #she very much gives biker but on a scooter vibes #i dont even know what that will look like but its her to a t #more weirdos like these to come #all of whom will be named after types of classic songs #tocata overture prelude symphony fuge aria concerto suite minuet waltz etude etc #rondo rhapsody ballet opera and the like #is it clear that im a music nerd

my toxic trait is going into the fanfiction tag for a group of youtubers and then getting annoyed when it's all RPF

#like okay u dont understand #i know its ALL rpf #but i mean like. the fic makes the CCs /the/ CCs #like theyre their streamer selves doing streamer things #and im like!! NO!!!!!!! #make it an AU!! #make them gang members or superheros or mythical creatures or WHATEVER #why are they just!! themselves!! #MAKE IT AN AU!!!!!!!!! #anyways

This is my small Lucky Stone collection. Lucky Stones the ear bones (otoliths) of sheephead fish (also known as freshwater drum). Theyre characterized by the "J" or "L" shaped groove in the corner. You find them washed up on the shores of the Great Lakes, these came from Lake Erie.

#the second pic was a pair i stole right out of the carcass of a dried out fish #i just think theyre neat. my mum and i compete to find them when were up on the lakes #she probably has way more than me #i just really like the shape and how they feel and the fact that theyre ear bones #bc that makes them special #like this is a bone that allow this creature to orient itself in space #without it the creature would be lost to vertigo #idk i was spiraling last night bc sometimes everything feels like bullshit and nothing matters then i spend an hour reading about something #weird like otoliths and its like. oh! what a weird little thing. the world is so strange and wonderful it makes me want to cry #and it drags me back from the pits of dispair #there are beautiful things in this world and sometimes they grow in the heads of fish haha #with otoliths you can also cut them in half and use them to age the fish. so theyre bones that orients and keeps a record #anyway just wanted to share my little collection of fish bones #fish #bones #nature #lake erie #you can see a lot of these r pretty old bc theyre all smoothed out and misshapen in comparison to the ones i got right #outta the fish head #idk they just make me happy #i should make one into a bracelet

the idea of linebeck having a rabid special interest in shellfish is kinda funny imagine being link having never seen an actual fish in your life and all of a sudden you’re in some ocean that has actual fish and as you’re adjusting to this you now have to process that there are also these really weird looking kinds of sea creatures too and the guy you’re traveling around with literally cannot be normal about them

#the first time link sees a shrimp is when linebeck is slowly dissecting the thing with tweezers before cooking it #salty talks #idk man. i think its funny if linebeck is really weird about shellfish and crustaceans and other nonstandard sea creatures #loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #linebeck #im struggling to word the amount of whiplash link might get from learning abt shellfish while not know much abt normal fish #linebeck seeming normal at first glance but turning out to be kind of weird as hell is a lot of fun #hes terrified of spiders but very willing to snatch like. a snow crab right out of the water with his bare hands #link #yeah sure hes mentioned ill tag him ill cover all my bases n be annoying abt it look at my headcanons #i bet link like. knows abt the concept of shellfish (boy got a lobster/crawfish shirt) but doesnt know theyre still like. real
