in a high fantasy mood so im doing more worldbuilding about this transportation animal that i made for a campaign back in 2017 :) if any nerds r interested i'll dweeb out big style under the cut:

DOMESTICATED: Omnivorous. A dated/cheap form of public transport, slowly being pushed out by mass teleportation circles (to some controversy). Can seat about 4 comfortably, but stables stretch that up to a cramped 8. The harness is looped around the base of the neck and tail. The saddle and passenger seating lays along the back, while the lower strap hangs loosely underneath the body and is used to store cargo, held in place by the tauralatan's mid legs. While typically this cargo is held close to the chest of the animal, a cheap ticket or stable may either neglectfully or maliciously place cargo closer to the hind region of the animal, which causes discomfort for all parties.

As practical use diminishes, the popularity of dressage and other showmanship is growing among the upper class. Qualities that trainers strive for are the smooth, wave-like gait in flight, combined with either completely still or trot-like movement in the front and hind legs. The mid legs should be held still and close to the body. A cargo or transportation ox typically has a gait with a frequency of <1Hz, whereas a show ox may reach up to 5Hz with a small enough amplitude. [Probably there would be different terminology for wave gaits vs. physics waves, but linguistics is always the part where it feels like I'm doing too much lol]

WILD: Carnivorous. Much larger and more aggressive, they typically divebomb prey, trapping it with their front and/or hind talons, then finishing it off with their mid talons. Wild tauralatans spend most of their time in the air, resulting in sharper, longer talons. Eyes are even sizes, where domesticated have diminished front- and down- facing and larger side-facing eyes.

Where the domesticated variety have smooth, long-bounding gaits in the air, wild tauralatans move in springy jolts. Several maneuvers used for play behavior in domesticated tauralatans are used in hunting or territory disputes by the wild variety. [Can't rly get more specific abt behaviors until i decide on their environment 😅]

hi i finished my first EP :)

[bastiantj]

i was gonna say smth about how these r kind of weird, inaccurate to what came before them, and vaguely self-indulgent designs. then i remembered what comic books are

messing w the punk band AU... multiple paragraphs of nerd shit under the cut

The influences for the band's sound depend on the era it takes place in. to me it goes:

80s: minor threat-type thrashy postpunk

90s: grunge (wtf else is he gonna do.)

00s: nu-metal (his truest form imo)

anything after: screamo rap e.g. grim salvo; death grips-type shit as well. he could maybe be blackmailed into one hyperpop collab

(what these all have in common is yelling and screaming.) as far as how jason sounds, i keep defaulting to corey taylor bc of course (nods like you know what i'm talking about) but there are plenty of solid options. his lyrics are probably pretty nonsensical to most ppl, tho maybe after it disbands, ppl would get really into analyzing them.

still not sure if i like not-vigilante for this, or if it's funnier if he's still red hood. this choice drastically changes the logistics of everything that follows, so though i have some fun fic ideas floating around, there's nothing solid yet. i p much have a pros and cons list for either choice at this pt... much to stink on ig. would probably help if i knew literally anyone who was into this idea lmao.

and yeah as u can see i had fun with the logos... threw some names around too but not as sure about those. trying to strike a balance between shit an angsty teenager would pick and something actually layered or at least meaningful. it also sort of depends on his bandmates, which depend on whether he is a vigilante or not... you see my dilemma.
