Miriptor

Fairy Eater Pokemon

2’3”

32lb

On nights of a full moon, swarms of Miriptor gather, reflecting a large amount of moonlight to attract prey with the spectacle. They attack with toxins stored in a special bladder connected to a horn, with the location of this bladder differing between individuals. Though they rarely rest, Miriptor hang from tree branches with their flexible tails when they do tire. With these same tails, they can lash out at speeds faster than the human can track.

Dragon / Fairy

Ability 1: Reflective Scale

Prevents super effective damage from Special moves.

Satan’s Left Testicle

title says it all, really

Satan's left testicle went on walk. It was a literal spawn of evil, except not really since it was more like a literal spawner of evil, but only half of one. In several ways. Still, just being a literal seed ( or seed container, really - fruit? ) of pure, unadulterated but honestly pretty ambiguous evil did not mean one could not enjoy a pleasant stroll. The ground turned pitch-black and the nearby flora twisted into unholy, deadly shapes as the testicle hopped on by, but otherwise it was mostly harmless.

However, not everything was not hunky dory in this park of humans, and the testicle soon came across a feuding family having a picnic. The situation seemed innocent enough, but the couple's antagonizing words became harsher and harsher, and the boy with them was looking around for help more and more. The fight quieted down for a few moments, only to suddenly reignite with new fervor when the man sucker punched the woman.

Satan's left testicle blinked at this, but it didn't have any eyes. Instead, it had twenty asses. So its twenty asses blinked, all simultaneously, and a poor kitten somewhere on the world spontaneously lost its life due to the sheer awfulness of this tragedy. Regardless, its surprise soon turned to anger, and it hopped over to the picnic-goers. It gave the man a piece of its mind, however the single tongue split among its two beaks could not speak human languages and instead let out its rant in vocalizations no mortal should ever catch wind of. The eyes of the nearby boy almost immediately rolled up into the back of his head and millions upon millions of angry hornets spilled out of his ears and arm pits, taking claim of the park and terrorizing the other park-goers so they could mate inside their fatty tissue.

The man and the woman were not so immediately affected by the testicle's harsh language, and instead turned their attention to it in absolute horror. The taste of the man's terror, however, gravely insulted the testicle, so it grabbed him by the collar with its leg's hand and held him up, ranting at him in fiendish gobbledygook. However, the man could not tolerate the fiend's grip for more than a minute, and imploded into improbable amounts of rats. The rats immediately ran amok and created a living statue that was both extremely offensive and extremely lewd, doing lewd things all their own at the same time.

Satisfied with a job well-done, Satan's left testicle waved at the woman before helping himself to a sandwich and hopping off. The woman was still frozen in shock, but eventually she moved; her head rolled straight off of her neck, before another perfect replica regrew in its place. This replica, however, rolled off itself, and soon the cycle was repeating itself unendingly. It was only then the woman got up and realized what was happening, causing her to run off with her arms above her neck, her trail of heads screaming as if it was a chorus that was growing larger and larger by the minute.

As the testicle hopped onward and onward through the park, it took the time to admire the scenery. It was already littered quite liberally with corpses, some impaled quite gruesomely on the newly spear-like plant life, and with majestic timing the hornet larvae all emerged from their breeding grounds and gathered together into jellyfish-like creatures that floated into the sky, fifty-mile long tentacles of hornet stingers trailing below ready to capture prey. The beauty of the moment brought tears to the testicle's eyes, which is to say asses, which is to say it wasn't tears, which is to say no one would want to know what it really was.

Figuring the day had already been the more perfect day ever, it finished the sandwich, and headed home.

I'm bugged by Tumblr not really seeming to understand trans again, and I feel like letting it out.

It's based around the whole "trans without dysphoria" thing, and I just don't understand. I can only imagine they mean non-binary without dysphoria, but at the same time part of me just wants to think they just want to justify the whole transtrender thing.

Like, don't get me wrong, exploring your gender and taking time to figure it out is completely fine. Gender is a spectrum, far from the binary it's often protrayed, and the sooner you figure out where you lie on it, the better you can discovered qualities of yourself you shoved aside and work out all the issues that popped up from trying to stay within the confines of your assigned gender.

And being trans is one of the bigger issues.

Being trans happens when there's such a huge disconnect between your gender and your sex, the most common being gender on one end of the binary and sex on the other, that it causes turmoil on your mental state. I'd dare say being trans alone does not warrant pride; trans pride more stems from conquering this condition and being successful in a world that's more than willing to strip a transperson's rights away for wanting a body that actually fits them. That's not to say there should be no pride until after hormones and surgery are completed, but it should stem from a victory, even one as small as cutting hair short or shaving off body hair, rather than just having the condition.

Why? Well, being trans isn't anything akin to sexuality; gay, bi, pan, etc. pride make sense to stem just from having those sexualities, because they don't have negative effects on the self, so simply embracing your sexuality is enough to take pride in. Same for non-binary genders lacking such a large disconnect, and for whatever the general term for aro, biro, etc. is. But simply embracing being trans will only give an answer to a misery, or a lack of motivation, or various other mental maladies. It isn't until a transperson starts taking those first few steps towards fixing their condition that they have something to look back on and smile at; if they just let their misery consume them and blame the disconnect, they're going to be stuck for a long time struggling to make those first few steps.

That's sort of why it frustrates me how some people want to make trans a down-right positive thing, when really it's a giant weight on those afflicted with it. Trust me on this, you don't want to be trans. Transpeople certainly don't want to be, that's why they make efforts to become as close to cisgender as medical science will allow. Will they look back on their long, arduous journey and take pride in managing to accomplish it? Certainly, and I hope those out there who are just discovering that they are trans will take pride in taking those first few steps ahead of them.

( also I wanted to repeat this but couldn't fit it in; trans != non-binary, take all the pride in your gender as you wish, whatever it may be [ unless it's horse, because that's really not a gender { outside of maybe being the word for a gender in a non-English language } that's something else, which means you might want to take a step back and look at your bigger picture to figure out what part of you really is horse and if you really are horse and maybe hoarse but that's more easily figurable since that happens all the time ] just keep in mind that the trans part comes with the dysphoria, and can happen with the binary genders too )

You know, it's not just that schools use outdated methods that research has proven to cause lowered interest in learning and lower motivation in general.

They, in America at least, use those methods to teach nothing more than how to pass state-mandated tests.

Because if the students don't pass those tests, the state cuts the school's funding, which leads to lay-offs. So teachers are really kind of stuck, as they have to manage to shove the exact knowledge required by the state, often in the stead of more interesting material, into a single school year and be able to make up for any emergencies, plus catch up students that fall behind from absence. Experimenting with new teaching methods is practically career suicide, as they likely don't have anyone experienced in those methods to back them up, they risk the methods being inefficient and not teaching all the required stuff in time, and if it's incompatible with any of their students, the parents are going to go to them and blame them for the grades.

Although I suppose that last part would happen regardless.

Man, it would be so nice to be able to just tear out the current education systems and start from scratch. It wouldn't surprise me if in a few decades there will be fewer and fewer people aspiring to get into education as a career, eventually leaving a drought of educators for schools.

I decided to make doodle some more random creatures and make Mons game-styled entries for them. If something bigger would come from this, Box Cat would probably be included.

Pandol Beast Family Beastial animates with special ears that can amplify sound both ways, granting them both great hearing and voices. Shortly after being born, the cubs are forced to battle one another until one proves its superiority, taking the losers' skins and wearing the runt's as a trophy. The rest of the liter are forced to live in shame.

Affinities: Fire: Weak Ice: Resist Wind: Immune

Example Skills: Serenade Attemps to Charm all other animates with a beautiful song. Lullaby Attempts to put all other animates to Sleep with a relaxing song. Rupture Sends out a focused sound at target enemy, dealing moderate physical damage without contact. Gale Slash Slashes with sharp tools embued with the power of wind, dealing moderate hybrid-physical-wind damage.

Yurizumi Beast - Plant Family Charming plant animates that drift along with the breeze, wandering from land to land while spreading their alluring aroma. While normally docile, they have an extreme temper. Consumption is not advised, as the same chemicals they use to produce their scent is highly poisonous.

Affinities: Fire: Weak Ice: Weak Wind: Weak Water: Absorb

Example Skills: Wallop Deals light physical damage to target enemy. Sweet Scent Attempts to Charm target enemy. Venomous Vixen Successfully Charming an enemy will Poison it as well. Enrage Greatly increases physical attack for several turns, but becomes unable to be controlled over the duration.

I had some other ideas, but didn't feel like doodling them this time. Maybe next time when I feel the urge.
