My submission for phasse three of Lemuria community challenge by Joschua Knüppe. The Lemuriania spp. genus from Oligocene Lemuria became highly successful up to this point, diversifying into many niches and bodyplans all across lemuria.

One such group was the Erigosquamidae family, who developed an erect limb posture alongside a more sophisticated breathing system that allows them to Properly breath while running. From this family appeared the Longimembrum spp. species complex which shows a Ring Species complex…

The Red Runner Lizard (Longimembrum rubrocephalus) Habitat: Hot desert, Savannah Size: 1 meter long Ecology: Opportunistic, mainly herbivorous

The Red Runner Lizards are the smallest members of the genus, they live in the southern portion of the Lemurian Hot Desert. Preferring the scarce leaves found in the desert and neighbouring regions, these animals will hunt invertebrates and smaller vertebrates whenever it has the chance, even eating carrion given the opportunity, some populations live in regions where the desert gives way to savannah, and will interbreed with the neighbouring L. viridis. These animals live in harems composed of a dominant male and females, most groups don't surpass 10 individuals. Only the male develops the colorful head, meanwhile, both sexes have colorful dewlaps used for communication, these dewlaps can be raised or tucked under the neck with tendons.

The Green Runner Lizard (Longimembrum viridis) Habitat: Savannah, Wollemia open woodland Size: 1,20-1,40 meters long Ecology: herbivorous, grazer and low browser

The adept grazers of the genus, these lizards inhabit the southeastern savannahs and open woodlands of Lemuria, living in small herds of up to 20 individuals lead by a dominant male who will defend the group from rivals and predators with powerful strikes of their whip-like tails. They hybridize with both L. rubrocephalus and L. larvatum where their ranges meet. Image

The Orange masked Runner Lizard (Longimembrum larvatum) Habitat: Savannah, Wollemia open woodland Size: 1,30-1,50 meters long Ecology: herbivorous, low browser

The Orange masked Runner Lizard is a dedicated browser of bushes and small trees, due to this, they tend to move mostly in an erect, bipedal posture. Rarely getting on all fours. They can hybridize with both L. viridis and L. hydricum where their ranges overlap.

The Marine Runner Lizard (Longimembrum hydricum) Habitat: Seavannah Size: 1,30-1,50 meters long Ecology: herbivorous, Raft grass semi-specialist, bulk feeder.

The most deviant and extreme-end of the Runner lizard species spectrum. These lizards spend most of their life on, or near water, leisurely grazing on the vast expanses of the seavannah -an unique biome found in the shallow seas of Lemuria-, eating not only the raft grass but also smaller undergrowth species. They live in groups of up to 40 individuals, multiple dominant males share a harem. They are the heaviest of the genus, on land they prefer to move on all fours but will still go bipedal when watching out for predators, running away from them or fighting. Their laterally flattened tails still hit hard on both terrestrial and aquatic predators. They can hybridize with L. larvatum but it is rarer than all the other possible hybrids of the genus.

I want you to write for pleasure—to play. Just listen to the sounds and rhythms of the sentences you write and play with them, like a kid with a kazoo. This isn’t “free writing,” but it’s similar in that you’re relaxing control: you’re encouraging the words themselves—the sounds of them, the beats and echoes—to lead you on. For the moment, forget all the good advice that says good style is invisible, good art conceals art. Show off! Use the whole orchestra our wonderful language offers us! Write it for children, if that’s the way you can give yourself permission to do it. Write it for your ancestors. Use any narrating voice you like. If you’re familiar with a dialect or accent, use it instead of vanilla English. Be very noisy, or be hushed. Try to reproduce the action in the jerky or flowing movement of the words. Make what happens happen in the sounds of the words, the rhythms of the sentences. Have fun, cut loose, play around, repeat, invent, feel free.

I have a friend who's obsessed with Béelia's suitor, and often comes up with the most outlandish requests (actually, he insisted I name him, so the suitor has been called Ngol for a while now). I don't have the time to do detailed illustrations, but he's been kind to me in the past, so I send him quick doodles, sometimes even drawn with the mouse.

What always gets me about learning about settler colonialism is how once you learn about it you cannot unsee the violence to the land itself. My home state was previously nearly 100% wetlands, apart of the wider Ohio river valley whose biodiversity supported such large populations of hundreds of different species that many contemporary source from settlers describe it as like the garden of Eden.

The Indigenous people who farmed and hunted here (and still farm and hunt in what land they have been able to keep and reclaim) were able to grow miles of upon miles of crops with multiple harvests a year, encouraging this biodiversity by creating forest gardens with incredible amounts of food from staples like corn and squash to local fruits like pawpaws to European imports like apples alongside controlled burns which allowed fields and buffalo ranges to expand.

Nowadays my state is known almost exclusively for its fields of nothing but corn and soy beans. Driving through in between the comparatively small cities you'll see nothing but fields where the plethora of different trees and plants were chopped down mile by mile, the remaining wetlands drained and flattened, and the rich black soils robbed of their nutrients through decades upon decades of monocrop agriculture now preserved through the life blood of petrochemical fertilizers which destroy the surrounding environment.

This process was done mile by mile as the tens of thousands of Indigenous people were killed and displaced by settlers and the US army, the land measured and sold acre by acre to white settlers who raped the land as described, filling the pockets of wealthy land speculators (like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) who bought the land directly from the government in schemes so corrupt historians have dedicated entire careers to mapping out their dramas.

It's like learning about commodity fetishism and suddenly seeing hundreds of strangers in the products that surround you. Once you learn how the land was destroyed for profit you'll never look at the miles of fields or the cracks in the concrete of buildings built on wetlands or the stench of now obsolete canals built solely for a once boat-dependent economy with no care for the environment the same.

One of my favorite little quirks of TVTropes is that the people covering the Godzilla franchise have a deep moral revulsion towards Gigan. Like, seriously, just search for Gigan and they have him in the same "Complete Monster" category as Anton Chigurh and Judge Holden.

Fucking Gigan.

"The freedom of giant cyborg chicken things is an insult to me. I'd have them all in zoos. That would be a hell of a zoo."

First of all, in Godzilla vs. Gigan, he was just a poor space dinosaur surgically mutilated and forced to be the mind-controlled slave of alien cockroaches. So no moral culpability there.

And in Godzilla vs. Megalon, the seatopians are pissed that people keep nuclear testing in their oceans, so they send out a giant beetle god (actually kind of feel like these last two movie's kaiju should have been switched, but that's beside the point). And once the beetle gets his ass kicked because he's stupid and drill hands aren't actually that productive, the Seatopians radio the alien cockroaches for help, drawing on some Ancient Atlantean-Blatta Accord that apparently exists in the same continuity as Gojira (1954). And so Gigan comes back to earth. To save the oceans' indigenous people from the ravages of nuclear weaponry. And he's automatically chummy with Megalon, who clearl needs assistance because something's not all there.

Gigan is an environmentalist hero, and has empathy towards people in need, no matter how aquatic or chitinous. He's like Captain Planet if he locked the fuck in.

"OH, GIGAN IS SADISTIC, HE TORTURES HIS FOES."

Uh, so does Godzilla, all the time. He just toys with motherfuckers.

"OH, GIGAN IS A COWARD, HE ALWAYS RUNS AWAY WHEN HE'S LOSING."

Yeah, it's called a strategic retreat. Gigan is smart enough to know that once you get your HP wrestled down to 10, Godzilla's going to atomic breath you in the face. You're not a dirty coward for not wanting your head to be the next Trinity testing site.

I am become breath, destroyer of latex.

"OH, GIGAN SLOWLY DRAGS PEOPLE INTO HIS BUZZSAW."

Uh, yeah? He had his viscera forcibly ripped out and replaced with a buzzsaw. You expect him not to use it in his kaiju death battles? Excuse me? He lost his duodenum for that. He has to use colostomy bags. He has hooks for hands, the boy cannot wipe, let his use his one goddamn thing without moralizing about it.

Godzilla has atomic fallout for breath. You know what that shit does? You think using that in Japanese cities isn't problematic? The boy is a metaphor.

[onion-souls]

No, but seriously, the tropers hate Gigan so much and will do everything to slander him.

Oh, so he won't finish off his opponents, only drag them into his buzzsaw, something well known for causing minor, painful injuries.

And, oh boy, really evil move, attacking poor, defenseless GODZILLA

His helpless opponents are, once again, Godzilla, Angurius, and an Ultraman knock-off trying to kill him.

He didn't choose to "wear" it? Other people did all of these things to him?!

Also, insane? Gigan is a paragon of mental health. Oh you have to be crazy to *watches the events in question* deal damage to your opponent in a death fight

"One or two hits?" Did anyone on this page watch these movies?

He's just a chainsaw-guy who knows when to call it quits when shit is getting too much for him to handle, we call this pulling a Fujimoto Tatsuki

"Also, uh, yeah, he's totally helpful and friendly but don't let that fool you, he's a complete monster, totally dude"

Fuck you

Oh no, he won't let Godzilla stand up and kill him

Did Godzilla bot this site?

The fuck is this? Just... it's his fucking beak? You're just going off vibes?

Dogs serve as a kind of virtue eater for Americans to pour all of their kindness into without the risk of improving society or being nice to someone with any agency

[lookinggoodinplaid]

(In a Werner Herzog voice) The perpetual references to Lassie in popular culture, an archetypal savior of the family and its children, positions the dog as an enforcer of the status quo. Beneath those watery irises is an endeavor to sequester the latent kindnesses of society into a furry, lovable vessel rather than allow individuals to direct it towards each other. Lassie is an evil, borne from our innate cowardice towards the prospect interacting with one's fellow man. Perhaps it is easier for the American to die than to reach out a hand in fellowship. Under the prevalence of canines, cruelty is a preferential morality.

Game that initially appears to be a porn VN starring a Perfectly Generic Male Protagonist, except when you get to the "here's how the sex mechanics work" portion of the intro the girl has a Magnitude 10 klutz moment and accidentally kills him, upon which the viewpoints switches to her and the rest of the game is a reverse investigative procedural about trying to cover up the fake lead's death.
