✨✨ Hi there everyone! If you could call me Stella I’d be grateful. I’m 34, and this is just my tiny space for me to reblog about my current interests and maybe try to write something.

I’ll be 1000% honest I’m a terrible writer, and a ridiculously slow writer but I still want to share what things I make even if they are awful, with the vague hope I can improve along the way. So if that doesn’t put you off at all, then please feel free to hang around or even shoot me a message if you’d ever want to chat, I’m happy to try and talk should you want to!

You can find my current interests and things I may write about below the read more! ✨✨

xenosaurus

One of my favorite tricks for designing alien species/cultures is to take a real animal with an interesting lifecycle and think about what that biology would translate to if they had human intelligence

xenosaurus

Example: silk moths as a base species

Because the moths themselves don’t eat and only live long enough to mate and then starve to death, the entire culture is made up of children and adolescents. The older children raise the younger ones, with families being made up of hatchmates from different years.

Because molts and eventual transformation into a short lived adult happen on a set schedule, families have a cycle— when your oldest set of siblings cocoon to become adults, you wait at the mating grounds and try to adopt their newborns after they pass. If that fails, you take any ‘orphans’ you can find.

Because death and birth are nearly simultaneous, they have a religion based around reincarnation, and infants with markings similar to a parent are often given their name. Claiming the offspring of a beloved family member is vitally important, because you want to be able to protect their soul and keep them close.

Because it’s hard to track the offspring of your male family members, there are sometimes major fights when a family sees an infant with familiar markings in another family’s clutch.

Between mating seasons, their culture is extremely food-oriented, because everyone is growing and silkworms eat nigh constantly. They spend most of their lives outdoors but sleep and shelter from bad weather in large family dwellings made from wood and the remains of the silk cocoons of prior generations.

everyone is really vibing with the silkworm aliens I see

i love olruggio witchhat so much. he’s a sun-coded black cat. he’s a lethally chronic procrastinator. he’s a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and they’re right. he’s in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesn’t know it’s cursed and he’s in it for love of the game. he’s lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. he’s a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. he’s a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. he’s the sky’s kindest, most radiant star. he’s the perfect man

sycamorality

"why is the character like that" >look inside character >it's the author's subconscious attempt to love themself

sycamorality

this is meant positively by the way. sometimes you love the character so much you end up putting a piece of yourself in it to learn how it is to love yourself without realising and thats ok.

Truly, I believe this.

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

noelle-ism

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.

I take back my previous meme, this version is funnier

Love when the “I’m going to shame disabled people into having better hygiene practices” person shows up on my dash. 🙃

roguemonsterfucker

Shaming people into taking better care of themselves doesn’t work. Making fun of them for not doing laundry as often as you think they should is just cruel.

You know one reason people may start falling behind in care tasks? Depression. You know something that can cause or worsen depression? Shame.

roguemonsterfucker

Okay so I’m gonna make this the positivity post.

You’re doing fine. It’s okay.

Do what you can when you can and that’s fine.

But also, if there’s someone in your life that can help, please don’t let shame or embarrassment prevent you from seeking that help. If you genuinely can’t keep up with certain tasks, please consider asking a trusted person for assistance.

And don’t listen to anyone disparaging you. They don’t know your life. They aren’t in your shoes. They can’t understand the difficulties you face. And ultimately, your actions don’t effect them.

Do what you are able to do when you are able to do it. Seek help if you are able and need it. You’re doing your best and that’s all that matters.

littlepinkgremlin

yeah shaming people doesn't help reinforce good practices. If you're told actual good advice but the speaker contorted it into an insult to your value as a human being, you're going to think about the insult when the need to follow the advice arises. Spite doesn't work like that.
