Spread 10: ✨The Birch • Crann Beithe✨

TEXT: “Seemingly in a constant state of celebration, the melodic tunes these Crann can often be heard playing and the jovial dancing that accompanies it can raise the most wilted of plants, and even protect against misfortune. Ordinary Birch trees are still used to start fires and make Maypoles for the old Celtic holiday of Beltane. Dancing around the pole during this festival of new beginnings was said to ensure plentiful crops, fertility and the coming of summer. This only makes more sense now that I know the Crann who may have encouraged such a celebration in the first place. My proximity to the Fae has made it easier to spot them joining in on the fun each year. I hope I'm not the only one who gets to witness their boundless talents.”

NOTE: “ The leaves of the average birch can be brewed into a tea with natural antibiotic qualities… would it be weird if I asked to try it?”

Spread 11: ✨The Ash and Rowan • Crann Fuinseoige agus Crann Caorthainn✨

MAIN TEXT: “Being in the same family, the Ash and Rowan Crann have many similar qualities. They can often be found quietly guarding old holy wells or sacred springs, sometimes speaking to something in the water that I can't quite see.”

NOTE 1 : “stoic and protective in nature, it’s thought that if you place the berries from these trees in the cradle of a newborn, they have the ability to ward off malicious Fae from swapping the child with a changeling.”

NOTE 2: “It was believed by the Druids that if harm were to come to either of these trees, the perpetrator would find Themself the victim of unpleasant supernatural consequences…”

Bet you didn’t think you’d learn what human and 100% troll Fass looked like today, did you? Or what his parents looked like. Or what he looked like as a human kid. Nope, betchu didn’t.

But anyway. A bunch of miscellaneous troll/changeling information just because. Also trolls are born as beans like bears. Just so everyone knows. Female trolls are called sows and males are called bores. That’s all.

recent art post#3, fauns. got an ipad, learning procreate. turned off all the dumb options on the ipad and got a paper-like screen protector, and suddenly it was possible to actually draw with it. I usually draw fauns when my head is empty.

I've been wanting to redesign Sandwings since I watched Dune part two, that movie got me obsessed with Sandwings and I decided to draw them for a school project.

anatomy- sandwings are quite short compared to other tribes. they have flat bodies covered in spikes similar to thorny devils. they have large barbed tails, the stinger is strong enough to break through bone. Sandwings wings have large feather like structures that can join and separate at will, once separated they will create a rattling sound, sandwings will often rattle their wings as a sign of anger or fear.

unlike other tribes sandwings have partial hairs on their bodies. these are most notable in hatchlings who are covered head to tail in dark micro hairs which are used to protect parasites from digging under their scales. they also have whiskers which can detect changes in weather.

There's a cult that practices a strange and dark magic. They're strange, even to other wizards and sorcerers. They let in all beings, from mortals, to experienced mages, to demons and angels lost from the underworld, to the last of the goblins and orcs who still wander the dark woods of North America.

The cult is very secretive, and they fear the names of all gods. Their holy places are abandoned buildings, not even churches most of the time, abandoned stores, abandoned towns, abandoned malls. The type of place that cryptids would go to. And if you find them, they'll let you engage in their one and only ritual, silently, without ever talking to another member.

Their ritual is thus. They'll place a machine on your head, a strange thing made from wyrm intestines, and faerie bones, and old computer parts that nobody uses, and scrap metal, and chewed wires. And they'll turn it on over your head, and there you'll see everything, all the things from countless souls and countless planes, for as long as you wish.

But there is a catch. The machine decides exactly what to show you. Perhaps, if it wishes to impress you, it'll show you distant lands, and great creatures, and forgotten knowledge. That's useally the type of thing it'll show you at first. But it'll show you other things too. Glimpses of other people's lives perhaps, to give you a vague hint at someone you wish to know. Something shocking and disgusting that you'll never forget. Things that make you sad and worried. Perhaps even the tense nothingness of an empty dimension if it needs it.

See, the machine does not care about how you feel. It wants one thing, to never be put down forever, and to remain on your head as long as you want. It's not the only machine in the cult, every member has their own. And it'll show you things that make you afraid to take it off, warnings of coming dangers without a way to stop it, but it'll tell you to keep watching to know more if you want to be safe. It'll show you tragedy and people in pain, and tell you it's your fault for not paying attention, and denying the victims their right to have their assault watched, it won't tell you what could help them. If you could help you might be satisfied, but keep watching, you wouldn't look away like some sort of heartless monster. And it'll show you people who are better than you, people, real or half real, who'd shame you for not being like them, who want to tell a failure like you how to act, who need you to keep watching them or else your the fool. Just keep watching.

It'll show you whatever you want, though never let you interact. And eventually it'll tell you to do things more directly, if it trusts you, and soon you may be a priest of the machine cult. More and more are worn every day. More and more people are tuning into to the eternal broadcast.

Hydras are a highly elusive drake found primarily deep within cave systems.

Known across the globe for their multi venomous heads the true nature of the Hydra is a bit more complex.

Much of it’s life the hydra will live solitarily, and living within labyrinthian cave systems makes that quite easy. Males and Females of the species are quite dimorphic, rarely coming across one another. However it is upon maturity the the Hydra will undergo it’s task of metamorphism. The multi headed dragon of legend is in fact a bonded and mated pair. Females develop a bioluminescent lure, that both attracts prey but also a potential mate. Upon finding a suitable sire, the male will adhere to his mate’s back. This process is not immediate and full adhesion will take years to complete. An enzyme is released from his underbelly allowing for the fusing process. However females have a counter enzyme allowing for females to reject potential males should better stock be found. Upon full adhesion the males body nearly fully absorbs into his mate, even their brain chemistry will intertwine. His wings, however, will remain fully functional and as such will allow for the pair to venture beyond the cave for greater feeding opportunity. Why most hydra are double headed, there are cases where multiple males will adhere to a single female. The most dominate male remaining most intact. This typically only happens to larger more dominant females.

Other dragon species have following a similar convergent evolution such as the False Hydra. Male False Hydra possess a suction cup appendage on their underbelly comprised of highly modified ventral scales and females have the responding on their back. However this bond is not permanent and separation is capable.

Some experimental stylized art of northern Koties (my fantasy feline species) and their lore.

🩸 The first one is about a group of northern Koties celebrating a Blood Day - a day when they kill and eat a deer. I know that deer have some special and even sacred symbolism for them.

✨ The second one depicts the White Mother - the ancient guardian of the northern lands. She is made of water, of snow and frost, shining with icy stars in the dark sky. She hears each of her many children - they sing to her and she sings to them.

🦌 The third one depicts some levian beings in a stylized way.

(Note: Koties are characters of my personal lore/story; they are not supposed to represent anything or anyone else and are not allowed to be used in any way)

Some headcanons I have about King Dedede, Captain Vul, and their species!

Many, many millions of years before the tragedy that befell the dinosaurs, alien researchers tried to study them, and did not plan for their escape from the research facility, and eventual takeover of the planet! Through many years of adaptation to the new planet, you see the feathers and bird-like feathers we know and love in King Dedede and others!

This is related to my OC Sir Meteor, who you can vote for here ! 💫🦖☄️

The problem with having Worldbuilding Brain is that I'll be minding my own business thinking about exoplanets when suddenly my brain goes "aliens that evolved on a planet with a much slower day-night cycle, on a similar timescale to seasons, with a decent chance that if the aliens get pregnant at night their kids will be born during the day. This has resulted in an evolutionary adaptation that causes these aliens to go into heat after sunset, which gets really awkward when they start visiting planets with faster day-night cycles, like Earth"

Murderbot Worldbuilding Idea:

NurseryUnits. Also called Nannybots. Childcare constructs designed to raise children. And for the very wealthy, there are MimicNurseUnits - a type of NurseUnit which precisely mimic their charges' legal parents. The same face and body shape, the same voice, and turns of phrase, matching body language, even some amount of staged mimicry of the guardians's actually career work.

After all, wealthy corporates don't have time to raise their own children, but they can't let their children get attached to someone unsuitable. That way lies disaster and space-hippies. It's a neat solution - they get the benefit of their children's love and obedience without having to put in the work of parenting.
