@displacedentities for THIS Featuring Appo and their wonderful Shiny

Looks like you got a fan Shiny!

[displacedentities]

@rockrockgrace Sometimes something is so cute that you physically lose all ability to function and just have to collapse about it yk? (bonus points for you if you recognize the meme reference I broke my fingers over)

Shiny has offered Appo an entire box full of fun 'singing stones' (sea glass, bug shells, and other decorative stone pieces) to choose from- and they are welcome to share with friends! Carapace glue is purely for aesthetic application, and temporary; the equivalent of a Bedazzling gun. God help us all.

Gonna be maining Team Mystery this year!! This will also be the first year I TURN TRAITOR! I'm normally a loyalist to whatever team I pick, but since this is the first and only year there's 3 teams AND a unique badge for betraying all 3, I'm going for that unique trophy babyyyy. I WILL be ending on Mystery though, once I have 1 attack each for the other two teams, so bear that in mind!

FIGHT ME WITH PENCILS 🔪✏️

[displacedentities]

@rockrockgrace Appo triggered intense cuteness aggression in me, so naturally my Compulsive Adopter Rock must also fight the urge to scoop up and carry the bebe; she would fail, so Soul has to be her impulse control

in other news I love Appo <3

[rockrockgrace]

... Wonder how Shiny might take it upon the discovery that uh ... ... Appo technically sorta .... ... lives alone in a crack in a wall near Teacher-Grace's Classroom Alcove near the biodome???

[displacedentities]

@rockrockgrace you can't just drop that information and expect there to not be consequences-

Don't worry, Appo got to hold onto their rock!

[displacedentities]

Actually if you have an Eridian Pebble OC, send me a link or reference picture and I might draw the rock spider babies interacting with Shiny and Soul :) The thought of them being soft with adorable rock children is giving me warm fuzzies <3

So... I had a very tragic life event happen. Had to say goodbye to a family member this last week. I've been slowly recovering from everything, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that Project Hail Mary and the delightful fandom full of kind people has been getting me through this very difficult time in my life. I've been endlessly entertained by creative and hilarious artworks and comics, clutching my pillow to fight the cuteness aggression over the many adorable Eridian OCs, and crying alongside Ryland Grace as I process the complicated grief and emotions of my life and let the poignant hope of Project Hail Mary's story wash over me.

I just wanted to say, to everyone here playing toys in the Erid sand pit with me; Thank you, Project Hail Mary, and the lovely people who are enjoying it alongside me, here. You are helping me get through one of the worst times in my life- and all I can say is Amaze Amaze Amaze <3

Presenting for the first time, Shiny’s first potential future mate- Soul! I still haven’t decided if I want these two to be permanent or exclusive yet xD

More details under the readmore!

Soul’s full Eridian name is Heart-Heard-Through Egg-Shell (pronouns she/they), named by their sires for the oddly loud volume of her egg’s heartbeats before hatching. This is because her egg was formed from being laid in a nest with an abnormally high concentration of calcite crystals, making the shell transparent to human eyes! As a result, their carapace developed almost entirely from various colors of tourmaline, a naturally-occurring mineral growth on calcite.

Calcite and tourmaline are both silicate based minerals, and lighter colored crystals are clear enough for human eyes to see through them. To Eridians, this unusual carapace structure is the equivalent of having a shell made of thick glass- they can hear almost all of Soul’s organs, like having permanent x-ray vision on their sonar. This makes most Eridians intensely uncomfortable, creating a sort of uncanny valley-body horror feeling, and a lot of Eridians avoid Soul because of it. Sometimes this instinct sets off the fight or flight reflex, and an unsettled Eridian may react with hostility.

Another consequence of a silicate based carapace- her song is naturally louder than that of a normal Eridian! The lattice of the crystal that makes up the inorganic majority of her body causes her musical language to project further and feel more piercing than the vocal average. Soul learned to forcibly quiet themselves down around fellow Eridians for their comfort, otherwise stressed or irritated Eridians would get angry with her :( Soul is somewhat socially stunted from lack of connection.

Soul’s carapace is exceedingly fragile- to the point that she can’t receive family crest or occupation engravings without risking a severe fracture in her shell. Soul is also very vulnerable to physical damage; they used to have larger crystal spires growing from their body, but they broke off over the years from accidents, or because another Eridian attacked her and broke pieces off. Soul is afraid to participate in thrums, worried their body will shatter from the vibrations.

Shiny is not put off by Soul’s shell- in fact, to her, Soul sounds like living sea glass! Soul’s song is beautiful and melodious when allowed to hum at full volume, like bells and wind chimes with unmatched audible clarity. Shiny insists Soul is one of the most beautiful Eridians she has ever met <3

Soul got her human name from chance encounter at the visitor center of the Human Biodome- Soul wanted to see the strange alien who also had audible organs(!!) and yet was beloved by Erid.

[displacedentities]

Shiny wants a mate partner- but has NO interest in eggs lmao. Offers to share a nest specifically for having kids is an AUTOMATIC DEALBREAKER, right out the gate. She will ADOPT pebbles, but never sire any of her own. My rocc just wants someone who cares about her deeply, holds claws with her, and watches her sleep ;;

Shiny also definitely has the Eridian equivalent of a sailor mouth that she unleashes on those she deems deserve it, and one of her fun stims is straightening out metal scrap into usable wire xD She likes how it sounds when she coils it properly!

[displacedentities]

So. The hyperfixation may have hit me really fucking hard. I couldn't rest until I had to put pen to paper.

Anyway PROJECT HAIL MARY OC <3 I had to make my own Rocc it was not negotiable xD I channeled my ADHD/autism and some of my mannerisms into that thang. I haven't read the book yet so please be kind to me with any inaccuracies ;u;

Her name is Singing-Stones-By-The-Sea, her 'human-given' name being 'Shiny'! A rare white Eridian, her carapace is composed mostly of marble-like stone with veins of labradorite for pops of reflective color and crisp sound. She wears sea glass as ornamentation; since sea glass produces a lot chime-like ringing sound when exposed to vibrations, she loves applying bits of sea glass to her body and listening to the way it changes her tonal humming when she sings.

More info under the cut!

Shiny uses she/her pronouns because she learned from the human research division that human 'she/hers' were usually smaller than other humans, and she's shorter than the average Eridian by a small margin, so she gave herself gender for literally that reason only xD

Her song is very high-register when stressed, like a pan flute or recorder carved from thin stone, but her normal range is actually surprisingly deep for an Eridian her size.

Shiny's favorite activity is beach-combing! She loves hustling down to whatever boiling ocean is nearby and digging through the sand to find leftover shells and carapaces from whatever hardy creatures survive deep in the hot hot water, adding them to her collection. Her absolute favorite pieces are sea glass- rare, since volcanic activity is the only way to make non-xenonite glass on Erid. Occasionally she'll find living beach critters and keep them around for fun, before eventually letting them loose again. Shiny BEGS to be let into the human biodome at some point to see what their ocean is like and if cold ocean sea glass exists.

Very bubbly and invested in everyone having adequate fun and relaxation in these trying times, she often engages in play typically reserved for fresh hatchlings and pebbles. One of her favorite games is Sand Seek- since sand is much harder to detect sound through, pebbles would hide themselves under sand like those spiders who hunt while buried, and jump out to spook other pebbles. In theory, this is from evolutionary pressure to get good at detecting possible threats - in social practice, this makes her look somewhat immature. Due to the stressful climate of the Petrova line eating their sun, normally tolerant and jovial Eridians don't always take her antics as playful, and sometimes dismiss her as childish for trying to provide levity.

Shiny has no mate, and very much wants a mate for companionship, but she struggles with reading social signals from other Eridians. Since Shiny lives with a fairly small group of fellow Eridians, and spends much of her time alone hunting for trinkets for her home, Shiny doesn't understand some of the more intricate rituals and practices involving courtship. Her sea glass pieces she stuck onto herself also confuse other Eridians on occasion, since they give the wrong impression that she's partnered with several mates, rather than none. As such, she gets confused and heartbroken when turned down.

Now that it's finally public, and I'm no longer bogged down by ArtFight/life/etc, I can at long last share the special side project I helped work on for pretty much all of June-

I made a whole shitload of sprites for @elbdot's Comic Anniversary PKMN Moon stream series! :D

Every Pokemon I was assigned got a fully rendered+shaded piece, and a Shiny alt (it wasn't required, but just in case- you never know! :D) I also did a couple special Costume variants, and the final piece was a big collab with Nitric in El's server to make Zygarde Complete Forme! That one in particular happened due to a small oopsie where both me and Nitric were mistakenly double-assigned Zygarde 50% xD And then El had the brilliant idea to split the 100% piece between the three of us, with El herself doing the base sketch- I think it turned out super rad <3

(And for those curious- the Costumed Mimikyu is disguised as Dusk from El's team, since "Pikachu costume didn't work" lmaooooo)

2025 ArtFight Attacks!!

In no particular order, here's all my attacks for this year! I didn't get as many done as last year, mostly because of some vicious artblock and serious life stuff happening ;u; but I'm proud of these nonetheless!

Here's the characters order of appearance:

Scrapper (ChampionGrey) and a tiny me! xD

Andrew (@liminalcube)

Coco (@kalabeth16)

Wagner (@doekimakura)

Meducination (Spaille)

Caelus & Sundae (AdamOnAcid)

Jenni & Gherkin (@factual-fantasy)

Happy Artfight year everybody! Can't wait for next year- hopefully my artblock won't be kicking me in the ass again |D

[displacedentities]

I did @chipper-smol 's dragon wheel! I took a few creative liberties to make the prompt work xD But nonetheless have a moose wyvern!

While the stocky body prevents the Wymoose from flying great distances, the thick muscle and powerful build allow them to tank blows from predators and each other. They go into brutal combat during rut season, where males develop spikes along the mace tail, which they use to bludgeon their opponents in a vy for the attention of females. Female Wymoose don't develop spikes, but maintain the club tail for self defense and protection of their young. Keeping hatchlings safe from harm is a matter of grave importance among mated pairs and their flight. Males that win a rut and take control of flights assume the responsibility of caring for existing wyrmlings while fathering more of their own. Ousted males will shed their antlers and mace spikes earlier than successful males, with all members of the species regrowing them the following year.

Introducing, the fastest dog Toon in town!

Name: Musical Mutt (nickname: "Muddy") Species: Merrie Melodies-style inkblot Toon Occupation: Cartoon star (former) / Diner owner and manager Skills: - High running speed - Musical instruments (all) - Super Sniffer nose - Customer service Weaknesses: - Reactive to cats and squirrels - His ex-boyfriend and coworker, Munchie the Sheepdog - Anything horror or slasher themed

Made yet another Fiasco character- this time for a Toon-themed playbook I wrote myself :D I played the game with some friends, and we had a great time with so many incidental gags and the toon logic was fuckin everywhere it was fantastic. Muddy is the fastest little wiener dog in town, and he's an old Toon long retired from the cartoon business, now the owner and operator of Googie's Diner! He has 1 other Toon employee he's hoping will be his successor, and runs takeout orders by himself- he's faster than any car in the city on foot! When he needs to vent some pent-up stress, Muddy retreats to a warehouse where he built musical instruments out of abandoned junk, treating the space as a combination auditorium and rage room.

Shady triangle man ready to entice some kids into handing over their souls in exchange for candy!

[displacedentities]

I return from a much-needed vacation away from home and JESUS CHRISTMAS a lot of people like House Fae Bill! I'm so glad people like my stained glass little gremlin version of the Big Triangle himself ;u;

Since people showed interest, and I'm still in a Gravity Falls mood, I'll pose a question! Do you want more illustrated House Fae Bill content? I can post the lore document like some people have asked, but tbh I kinda wanna draw some of it! And I know that personally if I just share all the text lore at once, my brain will check it off as Task Completed and I'll lose my gusto to make more for it xD

Don't expect full-shaded full-color productions tho, they'll probably be cleaned sketches like those above, maybe lined with color if I feel like it. I have a few potential ideas, so if you're curious, here's a poll of the things I'm considering drawing!

More illustrated House Fae Bill!! But what to draw first?

Early Days with House Fae Bill in the Shack

House Fae dynamics - headcanons / interactions with other House Fae

Non-Bill House Fae (Tad Strange, Dexter Forest, etc.)

Bill's ascension to being Awakened (probably after Early Days drawings)

Voting ended onOct 18, 2024

Took a little break to indulge in my ancestral fandom! With the resurgence of Gravity Falls thanks to The Book of Bill, I've been inspired by the many new AU Bills to throw my hat and make my own- I'm cringe and I'm free

This is House Fae Bill! I made a truly massive text loredump for myself that I'm not going to add here for post length reasons, but let's just say I thought way too long and hard about this xD

TL;DR basic concept is- House Fae are a type of spirit-like fae that come from the woods and dwell in constructed homes! They start out formless, but develop a unique avatar with elements and iconography pulled from their chosen abode- and in Bill's case, it was the windows (that's right- in my AU, the windows happened first! xD). When a house fae possesses a home, it becomes their territory as well as their physical body. The influence of the fae is limited to the building itself and a very small margin around it (think the Unicorn Barrier from the show), but within the home itself, the fae can manipulate objects and architecture to achieve their goals. They also don't show themselves to the homeowners if they can help it, so Ford went a bit nuts for a while wondering who was organizing his nerd clutter all the time lmao

House fae are commonly mistaken for more well-known home-related fairies such as nisse/tomtu and brownies. In reality, house fae are a separate species in direct competition with these urban fairies. House fae, nisse, and brownies all have overlapping functions in the household, but house fae are extremely territorial and protective of their charges (homeowners and their families), and won't tolerate the presence of competing fairies who could pose a threat, unless absolutely necessary. House fae that lack sufficient influence may be forced to endure a reluctant roommate situation until they gain enough power to assert any kind of dominance.
