doing some Thinking about the size of baby eridians…………… little fresh baby eridians must be So small!!! naturally i went into blender to get a visualization of how big they are to my brain and . oh my

1 square=1 inch, rocky model from the free action figure stl they have up on the website and sized to about proper proportions with a rygos-sized human. the baby eridian is a second rocky but with its legs halved in vertical size.

so he lays the first tiny egg, which then merges into a second egg laid by his partner and grows to about twice its size. then from that second egg comes The Smallest Creature You Ever Did See. it's literally only two inches in diameter minus the legs. its legs are tiny and stubby. it squeaks to communicate. grace is sobbing. rocky and adrian are purring with pride.

My ADORABLE little polyp pebbles! Details under the cut! They're inspired by the life cycles/development of some Earth cnidarians.

Awww look some normal soft-shelled Eridian eggs :) they're merging to become a fertilised zygote!

They're done merging! Big egg! The shell is slightly firmer and after about one eridian year, it's ready to hatch! C:

Oh my god what the fuck is that.

It's a horrible weird gooey snakey thing. It's transparent to light and sound. Its digestive organs are RIGHT THERE. If you look very very closely, the end with the mouth is a star… But you don't want to look closely because it's covered in gross egg goo.

Oh man. The aboral (not-mouth) end has attached to the ground and is sending fleshy roots into the soil like some kind of weird plant. The mouth end is sprouting stringy-looking "feathers" that would turn out to be also fleshy if you touched them. But you wouldn't because look at it. It's formed a colony with the other hatchlings connected through their "root" systems. It's occasionally twitching and shuddering at the oral end. They're all doing all that. Creepy!

It's been a few months and the root system and "feathers" are both expanding. The oral end of the polyp is getting a little more opaque as it slowly builds up minerals. It can sense sound and movement with its "feathers", and is thought to be aware of its hatchmates. The colony operates almost as one organism; if one is hungry, they're all hungry. If one is tired, they all sleep. The limbs are beginning to bud and wiggle around.

The oral end is getting heavy now and there's a delineation forming between it and the rest of the polyp where it's growing a thicker outer layer. If someone sings near the colony now, it reacts by swaying towards them. The mouths are always open and can be fed small pieces of prey animals, but care must be taken to avoid their getting tangled in the "feathers", which function as primitive gills for gas exchange.

Okay, that's almost an Eridian. The root system is beginning to be deprioratised and the carapace is nearly light-opaque, though not fully soundproof. Nutrients still move primarily through the colony, and they share their rudimentary senses. This shared nervous system in early development is theorised to operate like a primitive form of thrum.

And after a while... Pop! The weight of the baby Eridian gets great enough to sever it from the stalk, promoting it to draw air across its newly-exposed radiator organ and start making its first simple sounds. Usually this is lots of crying! The feathers die at this point and fall off within the next few days, kind of like the umbilical stump in mammals. The nutrient from the stalk are reabsorbed by the rest of the pebble colony.

I pull up my slide show. The first slide says “I do not want to financially support the Church of the Latter Day Saints in any way”. There are murmurs of agreement and approval from the room

Next slide. “Brandon Sanderson is a member of the LDS”. The muttering has changed tone

“It’s not a very big amount of money though.” Someone in the audience pipes up. “His cut is only a small fraction of the cost of the book, and then-“ my next slide shows an income breakdown, it is titled ‘a small fraction of $10,000,000 is still a big number’

I’m sweating. The following slides explain tithing rules. The vibe of the room has shifted. I start to doubt I’m getting out of here alive

"I want my media to be historically accurate"

Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?

Oh, you mean you want 100% white people. Even in crowd scenes in port cities. There's a different word for that.

[marzipanandminutiae]

to be clear to my followers, I always mean the first one. that sounds like heaven, and 100% white people isn't historically accurate in many situations anyway

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

Trying my hand at this one:

Shen Yuan transmigrates into a worm.

It's just a normal garden variety (heh) earthworm, not a special magical worm (yet), so initially he thinks this is gonna be a really short transmigration adventure indeed. But of course that would be boring, so he also manages to end up in the body of a worm who lives under one of those magical immortal fruit-bearing trees.

One of the fruit drops, Worm Yuan chows down, and he significantly upgrades his physical abilities, and senses, and gains a cultivation boost! Hooray!

Unfortunately it's not enough to fix that he's still a worm, but it's enough so that he has less to fear from getting hit by a random shovel or such. In the process of eating the fruit, he sees some disciples (come to gather the fruits, slacking somewhat since they even allowed a few to hit the dirt) and overhears enough of a conversation to figure out that he's transmigrated into a worm that lives in the PIDW setting. Specifically, on Qian Cao Peak!

Wow! How random and wild! Why a worm??? What god did he piss off in his past life for this?

Well anyway, it is what it is, and Shen Yuan decides that if he's gonna live a probably short and uneventful life as a worm, at least he wants to see his favorite character. So he inches his way in what he hopes is the general direction of Qing Jing Peak, course-correcting whenever he gathers that he's guessed wrong, hitching a ride on the occasional shoe or once even gripping the internal part of a wheel from an An Ding Peak carriage, until finally, he's leveled up his meager worm cultivation even more and has reached Qing Jing Peak!

As Worm Yuan continues to inch his way across the peak, he keeps just-barely missing Luo Binghe, until finally he comes across... not Binghe, but a recognizable item: a fake jade pendant!

Though lost initially on a tree branch, it must have fallen at some point, down to the ground where Worm Yuan stumbled upon it.

Mustering his strength, Worm Yuan manages to get the broken string of the fake jade around his little worm body, and then makes the herculean trek to the wood shed. Dodging bird attacks, hiding from other QJP disciples, and further upgrading his Worm Skills such as digging, inching, and oozing, until finally he reaches his destination and squeezes under the door.

Leading to the situation of an incredulous disciple Luo Binghe -- who had previously been tending to his bruises -- watching as a little worm climbs into the shed (normal, usually it's spiders but sometimes other bugs get inside) while dragging his long-lost most treasured item in what can only be described as a deliberate fashion (very not normal).

After ascertaining that Worm Yuan is not some cultivator's tool or shapeshifted creature, Luo Binghe decides to approach this situation in the only reasonable way, and offers the worm some scraps from his leftovers. Worm Yuan happily shares a meal with his favorite character, and things take off from there.

Somehow Luo Binghe finds himself learning more about cultivation by watching Worm Yuan than he has in all his attempts to figure out his manual or listen to his shixiongs on Qing Jing Peak so far. He watches Worm Yuan work up the spiritual energy to crack rocks and scale the wood shed walls, and deduces some methods for applying his own spiritual energy in similar ways. He finds it heartening to think that if even a little worm can learn to cultivate through what seems to be pure determination, then surely Binghe can make his situation work, too. He scrounges around and manages to gather up enough materials for a makeshift terrarium, so Worm Yuan can be safe and cozy by his side at night.

Of course, trials and tribulations never stop. At some point Ming Fan and his cronies find the terrarium and smash it. Binghe is inconsolable until he realizes that Worm Yuan got away (extra durable, after all!) and is wriggling back towards him in a reassuring fashion.

Worm Yuan's hero schedule is quite full, too! At some point he digs his way into a tunnel to the Lingxi caves and saves Liu Qingge, and in the midst of the demon invasion he manages to help Binghe at a vital moment by hardening his body and tripping his opponent. He rides in Binghe's pocket when Binghe goes to claim Zheng Yang, too, developing his cultivation throughout it all.

Unfortunately, kind of, Worm Yuan is also in Luo Binghe's pocket when he gets thrown into the Endless Abyss. Through the hardships of the Abyss, Worm Yuan consumes some unsavory things (the less said about the quality of worm food in the Abyss, the better) but manages to unlock rare worm cultivation upgrades, until finally he achieves his first transformation -- a gigantic Dune-esque mega worm!

The less said about the symbolism of a stallion protagonist accompanied constantly by a literal monster worm, the better, probably. But having the ability to tunnel through basically anything does make a lot of things easier, at least in terms of travel, and cuts years off of the Abyss trip. Binghe and Worm Yuan almost have fun, even, just tearing through the terrain and any foes stupid enough to get in Worm Yuan's path until they retrieve Xin Mo and bust out.

Then they get into the demon realms and that actually is just straight up mostly a good time. Worms like Shen Yuan are not common so at first he nearly always surprises Binghe's foes when he shows up to help with fights, and a lot of the time the demons involved don't even seem to realize, at first, that he's with Luo Binghe and isn't just some hellish calamity that's coincidentally also shown up! But word gets around pretty quick that the new Heavenly Demon on the scene has a giant worm companion (probably leading to some misconceptions of people who think it's Tianlang Jun returned and that someone's mistaken Zhuzhi Lang's snake form for a worm).

Once that happens, unfortunately, some demons start taking precautions. After the first time Worm Yuan gets poisoned and nearly perishes (saved by Binghe's blood in the nick of time), Luo Binghe stops letting him participate in fights. Which is just rude! Worm Yuan's not going to make the same mistake twice, duh! But Binghe just keeps holding him in reserve again and again until the fight with Mobei Jun, and then when Worm Yuan intervenes anyway (is it just him or does Mobei Jun seem to know a lot more about potential heavenly demon weaknesses than he did in PIDW...?) and gets partly frozen, Binghe goes berserk. For a while there Shen Yuan is worried he won't actually LET Mobei Jun surrender!

Thankfully though he does, and then Binghe settles into his properties and starts... building a giant-scale worm garden? What about the harem, Binghe? Like obviously it's nice and all, but shouldn't you be focused on housing for, y'know, your future wives?

Other factions in the demon realms clearly are wondering about the same thing, as the marriage alliance offers naturally start pouring in. The most vocal of these being Sha Hualing. Worm Yuan supposed that his Binghe is probably waiting to officially take his wives so that he can marry Ning Yingying first or something, but still, a little planning wouldn't go amiss. Though eventually Luo Binghe seems to get -- if anything -- fed up enough with the questions about his marriage prospects that he does start setting up for a wedding.

Worm Yuan is surprised and touched when he finds himself being fitted for a monster-worm sized amount of wedding regalia. So he can be included in Binghe's wedding procession? That's so sweet! He's not sure he understands the inclusion of a veil, though...?

Anyway. Yes. Binghe marries the worm.

[sunderwight]

#god i forgot about this. this is hilarious#i do enjoy the comments about sy getting a human form and i Am all about that... but it HAS to be after Binghe marries Worm Yuan AS A WORM#to the utter bafflement of all the realms#Sy borrowing LiYu's Moe Pet System type au#oh inspired by that. Shen Yuans first 'human' form is only half. like a naga. but a worm.#i mean hes got battle experience and goes to all kinds of places and the best spiritual foods he could for sure cultivate a human form.#most spirits that cultivate human forms are like. flowers or birds or whatever. what do you MEAN your wife is a WORM-#.... wait why am i now thinking about a caterpillar SY au. please hold#mostly because if binghe doesnt know what a chrysalis is hed freak. and also this magestic stallion protag with a little moth or butterfly#apologies for going off topic of worm yuan (preserving @thesadisticsiren's tags)

I love the idea of Worm Naga SY so so so much. Especially because if he really does it Li Yu style then he's getting Worm Naga (human on top, worm tail instead of legs) which is... I mean it's odd, it could certainly join the ranks of skin creatures because of the wrinkly-worm-ness, but probably also kind of cool. Especially if he can do his giant death worm tail instead, as a lot of those are like, bright red and covered in spikes.

On the other hand, the manmer equivalent... human on the bottom, worm torso and head on the top...? Just like. Flapping around...?

Also I looked up earthworm reproduction because why half-ass this? Worms have organs to produce both eggs and sperm and can choose based on the situation which to deploy when coupling. They can't fertilize their own eggs and reproduce asexually, but it seems likely that Worm Yuan and Wormnaga Shen Yuan could get mpreg'd too. Godspeed Binghe.

developing the hots for ryan gosling because of project hail mary is so fucking embarrassing I swear to god. that is a conventionally attractive man. a noted hollywood heartthrob. he's even blond, are you kidding me? did he win people magazine's sexiest man alive? I don't know. I'm not going to check but it wouldn't surprise me at this point. it's such a mainstream taste. such a clichéd celebrity crush. like oh I fancy ryan gosling and my favourite drink is coca-cola and my favourite snack is ready salted crisps. jesus christ. 'b-b-but i only like him when he's in a science pun tshirt and playing a dorky-awkward loner type!' doesn't matter. he's still ryan 'ken from barbie' gosling. it's so trite. I feel like the weird nerd girl in a teen coming-of-age romcom falling for the super popular jock. don't I know that I have a reputation to uphold here? cringe.

This post is the spiritual successor to that post about David Corenswet:

[red-garden]

Imo all of the peak lords have a single defining characteristic that when removed makes them comedically unrecognizable, the only exception being Shang Qinghua.

Shen Qingqiu- the huadian

Yue Qingyuan- his fat fucking eyebrows

Mu Qingfang- the mustache

Qi Qingqi- her signature red lipstick

Liu Qingge- the iconic beauty mark

Wei Qingwei- his nasty old apron

Shang Qinghua is the only one who is recognizable in all forms— ironic because he is a spy. He cries 5000 tears about this daily.

Only the transmigrators can recognize someone with their special trait missing, and find it endlessly infuriating and baffling that no one else can.
