[not drawing voice] I miss my character.

[spoontales37]

and now the question that worries us all:

in ur opinion, what are the novakids' beauty standards? we know that Captain Noble is considered quite handsome among novakids(according to other novakid peacekeepers)

my theory is that it either has something to do with their colors(like, lightwaves and all that) or with their passions (seeing how passionate he is about the whole peacekeepers thing and novakids having a firery stars theme going on)

personally i like to think it's both and somewhere out there r chemical supplements for novakids

Ohhhhhh that's a good one! I love thinking about Novakid headcannons (thanks for the question!!) (I will be rambling so please bare with me-)

=====================================

Never thought about it too deeply but I imagine it's either their actual physical form, how symmetrical their faces are, how tall/strong looking they are and all that (boring answer), or maybe how bright they glow could be important, brighter and shinier being preferable. (Maybe they would get less bright with age?? Or go from less bright to really bright to less bright again? Dunno)

I feel like the colour is more of a personal taste thing and each novakid would consider a different hue to be the best, maybe some of em don't care at all about that (unrelated but I also have a headcanon that maybe some novakids enjoy "dying their flames" by adding different things to their "hair", like for example copper would make their flames have green streaks similar to how irl copper burns with a greenish-blue flame, could be quite cool dunno might give that to an OC some day). Also up to personal taste I think would be their brands. I think they don't get to choose those when they're born and maybe some novakids think simple brands are prettier, others would prefer more complex ones and so on

I love the interpretation that it's their passions/personalities! I think my character finds Noble's passion and sense of justice absolutely fascinating, and I believe Novakids in general would be drawn to those whose personalities "shine" so to speak, dunno if I'm making sense right now lol. They seem like the kind of people who would appreciate that sort of thing greatly

=====================================

That's all I can think of right now, might add an update or two later heh. Again, great question thank you so much! Have a nice day stranger ^^

I love Novakids so much it's insane, why did I imprint so hard on Starbound of all things-

[scout-company]

If I may, I’ll add that there’s actually an npc quote that seems to hint that brightness of glow is a strong factor:

“You, uh, got a mighty fine glow about you…You doin’ anythin’ later?”

So there’s that lol

[itsmuffin1304]

i'm gonna join both of u on love for Novakids, it's insane how my Starbound hyperfix keeps coming back to me

i love ur point on glowiness being an attraction factor, that would also wonderfully line up w/ my supplements thing lmao

on that point, anyone got anatomy headcannons while i'm still forming mine?

[scout-company]

I go with the idea that Novakid brands are their cores—basically all their vital organs bundled into one. They don’t have any internal organs other than their brands, something I actually muse about here.

Beyond that, I go with the idea that their “skin” is a magnetic shell; feels like glass, probably, but no one is quite sure what it’s actually made of. It’s thinner in their corona “hair”, which allows it to be styled but also makes it react with their emotions. (Which Captain Noble’s dialogue sprites actually show, iirc)

And the idea that their shells are magnetic is what, in my stories, will eventually allow Scout’s prosthetic arm to fully connect with her shell.

Threw together this fun little build the other day, it's got some of my favorite building techniques such as blockbuilt furniture, mixing glass with sloped glass to make it look broken, and way too much paint

Doc's Orders

CW: Medical - injections, illness Context: Inspired by Maple32's Rogue Biotes illness. Or read on AO3

"The people on the planet weren't any help," Mio says, leaning heavily against the doorframe of Medical. Fife looks up from thon workbench and carefully sets down the test tubes yon's working on, viewing thon captain with a critical eye. "You should sit down before you fall down." "I need to tell you–" Mio's face screws up in a grimace as purple sparks flicker off her skin. Fife hurries to her side. "You can tell me after you've sat down." Yon helps Mio into a chair next to thon desk, where she slumps. "It's getting worse, isn't it?" Fife asks. Mio gives a halfhearted shrug. "So what did the locals say?" "It'll run its course eventually, if I don't die first, and that–" Mio shudders again, purple shimmering off the sterile walls, "–that your scanners'll be useless. 'S caused by something called Rouge Biotes. They mess up the electrical systems in the body and make scanners go haywire." "And there's no cure?" "There's something called– Called…" Mio screws up her face, then lets her head flop forward into her hand. "SAIL!" "It was an injectable called 'LI-221'," SAIL's modulated voice comes from a speaker in the ceiling. "But the locals appear to have no knowledge of how to create, nor obtain it." Mio flicks her free hand. "See? No help." Another electrical shudder passes through her.

"I suppose we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way then," Fife says, stepping forward to gauge Mio's temperature with the back of thon hand. Two fingers are pressed against her pulse-points to judge heart-rate, and then yon takes Mio's hand, examining the webbing between her fingers. Through all this Mio slumps, her eyes closed, wincing at the occasional biote-shock. Thon shakes his head. "You're in a bad way, Captain." Yon pulls out a red stim. "This should keep the condition from getting any worse, but really you need to rest." Mio lets out a relieved sigh as the stim is released into her bloodstream. "Thanks Fife. I should keep–" "Negative," says SAIL. "Absolutely not," says Fife. "But–" "But nothing. I may not have attended the Protectorate Academy, but I have read every procedure and manual in SAIL's database regarding the medic's role. When the Captain is incapacitated–" "Technically I'm–" "When the Captain is incapacitated, the medic outranks them until they have capacity again, and the Lieutenant is in charge of the ship. So, Mio, I am ordering you to go to bed." Mio's glare is interrupted by a particularly vicious biote storm, one that has her panting from the intensity. She sighs. "Fine."

Maintenance Check More of Snapdragon and Switchit, checking for problems and doing small repairs before a long day of exploring the stars Before anyone starts pointing their pitchforks at me, Snapdragon was raised by humans hence why her floran dialect has been greatly reduced and prefers referring to herself with "I" instead of "floran"

[bankaizen-deactivated20250613]

anyone who thinks a piece of art that depicts taboo or dark topics shouldn't exist because it makes them personally uncomfortable is immature. indisputably so.

[bankaizen-deactivated20250613]

oh same goes for anyone who thinks people openly enjoying said art should censor themselves for the sake of other peoples' comfort, very immature

When a "cis girl" has an irrational hatred of trans men, and calls bottom growth disgusting, and calls trans people "brainwashed" because obviously wanting a dick and no tits is a Normal Girl Thing but she doesn't act on it because she's not Crazy, and she doesn't get what the big deal is about misgendering because she wouldn't mind if someone called her a he, and it's like...buddy...it's clear the trans man you hate the most is yourself...but I can't say that 'cause you'll get mad at me

Like what do you do in that situation??

#Starbound #this kicks so much butt actually what the hell #The playing with perspective and how everything is warping around Roberik with the eyeballs underneath #With this contrast of cold medical equipment and eyebals against the warm clothing fur and monitors #Not a lot of art explores this anxiety of the apex of what has been done to make them this way #Im glad to see more love given to what I think is the most under-appreciated Race in Starbound

Keeping these tags in a little box by my bed forever🐇
