Goat Vibes Only

An artist that is a goat, not an artist that draws goats (though sometimes that's also true)

Happy pride! All your faves are trans! (Yes, even that one!)

I don't really know how much I want to do informal writing updates here, since I'm constantly waffling over how open I can be in spaces like this without getting anxious about strangers viewing my words. But it did just occur to me that I think I got hit with my own case of the ao3 author's curse, where every single inconvenient thing happens at once, and that feels weirdly worth celebrating. I have been deemed enough of a Writer (TM) by The Universe (TM TM TM TM) that I have been subjected to their maladies. Yay?

(There wasn't any one big emergency which makes it less exciting to talk about, but I had a lot of stuff going on in my fandom life, work life, social life, and pet owner life all at once, and it caused me to crash pretty hard. I'm trying to keep up the writing habit despite it all, but I'm definitely still finding my way out of that burnout pit!)

Tags: Case 4-2: Turnabout Corner, Zine: Here Comes Justice! Turnabout Debut (Gyakuten Saiban), Canon Compliant, Friendship, Fluff, and a modicum of angst because she wouldn't be Ema Skye without some cynicism

Words: 1.7k

Summary:

Despite herself, Ema’s coal-black heart softens at the thought of Trucy overnighting without her only guardian. Trucy still hasn’t succeeded in scrubbing off her performer’s face from her show earlier: her smile is just a bit too forced, the bouncing of her heels just a bit too robust to be organic.  Ema fully intends to hand over the flowers and see herself out. But when she opens her mouth, instead she says, “You wanna do something that is, scientifically speaking, completely inadvisable?” 

Ema is having a tough go of things. It turns out she's not the only one.

Ema Skye has a domestic Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) daemon! 

Key words: science & science experiments, curiosity, white & pink, munchin', pest & viewed unfavorably by some

For day 7 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

"I don't like rats any more than the next bloke, but they ain't wicked and cruel like people can be. They're just ratty in their habits." - Philip Pullman

Ema is a scientist who wears a lot of white and pink, and in her later appearances is characterized by her predisposition for munching on snacks when upset. I feel like this makes her a great contender for a rat daemon! Specifically a domestic Norway rat, which is the species most often used in scientific experiments. 

Rats are often viewed as pests, which I think really resonates with Ema as someone who felt alienated from her sister pre-RFTA and like a failure of a scientist in AA4. But they’re also scrappy survivors who pick themselves up and keep on trucking! <3

Maggey Byrde has a northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) daemon! 

Key words: red, emotions over logic, freedom (& conversely entrapment)

For day 6 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“If you throw a bird off a cliff, you are helping it find its wings.” — Matshona Dhliwayo 

Miss Magpie Bird obviously gets a bird daemon! She has bright red cardinal feathers in all of her outfits, so this was a pretty straightforward choice.  

Birds are, generally, often overlooked (I can vouch that no one seems to notice how many birds live in their area - even bright red ones like this!) and can be associated with derogatory insults like “birdbrain”, so they’re not unfitting with our oft overlooked space cadet. 

I’ve been digging into cardinal folktales but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they have any particular connection with luck, good or bad. Historically they’ve been associated with messages from ~beyond~, and romance? I’m sure Gumshoe is happy to hear that if nothing else.

Wendy Oldbag has a blue-masked lovebird (Agapornis personata) daemon!

Key words: love & romance, emotions over logic, talkative

For day 5 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” — Maya Angelou

Parrots and parakeets are noisy, high maintenance birds, who can bond strongly to one particular individual (sometimes to the person’s detriment). Considering this and that lovebirds have the word ‘love’ right in the name - they seemed like a fitting choice for our Oldbag! I picked a blue-masked lovebird so Oldbag’s daemon matches her color scheme. <3 (Though I suppose in AAI, she mostly wears pink costumes…)

Verity Gavelle has a Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii) daemon!

For day 4 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running.” - Abe Gubegna 

I will be honest, this choice was made almost entirely on the similarity in names; when I first met her I kept misreading Verity’s last name as ‘gazelle’, and, well…

That said, I do think of gazelles as a somewhat understated, hardworking (and constantly moving) animal, which fits our diligent lady aptly.

Franziska von Karma has a horse (Equus ferus caballus) daemon!

Key words: justice, nobility, grace & power, hot-blooded & reactive, whips & riding crops

For day 3 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“And indeed, a horse who bears himself proudly is a thing of such beauty and astonishment that he attracts the eyes of all beholders. No one will tire of looking at him as long as he will display himself in his splendor.” - Xenophon

From her whip and ‘mare’ish behaviors to her outfits as a child, Franziska is incredibly horsegirl-coded. Horses have long been associated with nobility/wealth and justice, and depending on context are viewed as noble lone stallions or incredibly reactive goobers. Giving her a horse as a daemon just felt like the only option! (I also think there’s something interesting in her being the last von Karma and upholding this huge legacy and burden all by herself, but having the form of a very social herd animal…) 

For aesthetic reasons I think her daemon should be a dapple gray horse, but I go back and forth on breed. An Arabian would match her hot-blooded temper, but a German breed like a Hanoverian would match her heritage (and Hanoverians consistently rank highly in competitions of all disciplines). 

Bonus: To really lean on the horsegirl energy, I call her daemon Epona, after the goddess of horses.

Calisto Yew/Shih-na has a striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) daemon!

Key words: laughter, a bite worse than her bark

For day 2 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“A sense of humor is good for you. Have you ever heard of a laughing hyena with heart burn?” - Bob Hope 

I went back and forth on daemon forms for Calisto/Shih-na, but ultimately settled (haha) on something that reflects her penchant for laughter, since this is a trait so strong it pushes through regardless of which face she’s wearing. Hyenas are, of course, known for their cackling laughter! They also have large jaws, with enough biting force to crack open bones, which feels fitting for reasons I can’t quite explain. She’s an example of her bite being even worse than her bark, lol?

I opted for the striped hyena because they are seen as a bit ‘softer’ than spotted hyenas - I feel like spotted hyenas don’t have the same subtlety or tact? I imagine she disguises her daemon to match her various masks, passing him off as a weirdly-shaped dog or something.

Kay Faraday has a domestic ferret (Mustela furo) daemon!

Ferret (verb): to search out, discover, or bring to light (often followed by out). Example: to ferret out the facts. (x)

For day 1 of @aainvestigationswomen week!

“I run after knowledge like a ferret down a ferret hole.” — Jeanette Winterson

Woooo let’s hear it for Kay Faraday! I originally wanted her to have a crow or other corvid, because of the Yatagarasu, but changed my mind once I read that the name ferret comes from furittus, meaning 'little thief'. It made everything click into place. Kay is a silly little thief that has her own Little Thief! It just works so well. I also enjoy the double entendre of Kay “ferreting” out the truth. :3 I have a friend with ferrets and the way she describes them as these mischievous gremlins really fits Kay’s whole shtick perfectly. 

Bonus: I call her daemon Locke, so he can be the ‘lock’ to Kay’s ‘key’.
