What do slink babies look like? Fresh hatched I mean. 🤔

Though Palm Slinks look very much like new slinklettes (pictured below)…

…here’s a quick sketch of an actual brandy-new slinklette! They’re little nubs with stubby leggies and dainty hand-feet. They usually hatch out of their eggs beeping and flickering and kicking with their springy back legs. Generally, they’ve already opened their eyes a day or two after hatching. It won’t be long before they start trying to play! Make sure to keep them toasty and safe!

Can slinks do gardening if they are a high intelligence breed? I know they have trouble with some things but it sounds like something that could be done with a little assistance.

Depends on what level of gardening you’re talking about!

Slinks have difficulty remembering sequences more than… Let’s say two or three steps in length. I’m sure that if you were facilitating it, the slink could, for example, be taught to dig little holes, pop seeds in, and then cover them up again. Similarly you could teach them to pull up plants that look a specific way, so long as explaining how that plant actually looked was straight-forward and didn’t take much vocab (“slink pull out prickly short brown plant” is something they’d understand. “slink pull out brown plant with long leaves, short stem, and flowers with five petals” would be forgotten and leave them sad and frustrated).

Overall, I think a slink would be a better garden -helper- than an automatous gardener. The attention span of slinks is pretty short - too short for them to have a long-term plan to properly maintain a garden. Lotta’ steps involved with that! I’m sure they’d really enjoy attempting to give their owner a hand, though. <3

how much for a slink full body? thinking about grabbing a bunch soon!

Hey there @failedfetus! Totally depends on what size you’re getting, whether it’s shaded or not, etc. I’ll give you some examples and prices I’d accept for those.

If you want a slink drawing around the same size, style, and quality as one of these, I’d charge around $15 per slink. They’re somewhere between 300px x 300px and 500px x 500px if I measure things out.

Super large slink refs (in the range of 900px x 900px) similar to this one would be charged totally according to my usual commission prices. You’re looking at... $35-$45, with the higher end applying to slinks with complex color patterns or very specific features. It’d be $30-$40 without shading for the same thing, respectively.

A good option for purebred slinks, especially if you’re tight on cash or want something that matches up with your icon well, is the official HD breed art slink YCHs! These are a wee $10. Also, don’t worry. The knucker breed is available here too, but I don’t have it posted on the listing yet. x-x

If none of these sound appealing, I’m also open to applying my Doodle Page+ price ($30) to a page of three or four loosely sketched, colored, and shaded (or just colored if you’d rather) slink pictures. Might be a nice “bulk option” if you just want SOMETHING pretty of your slink but have a lot you want to get art for at once.

Hope this helped! Of course, you’re always free to message me with additional questions here, on Discord, Deviantart... wherever really. I’m always open to talking shop. c:

quttlefish

DAMN is that a quirk from one of the old TPH trolls??? Unless I'm mistaking it that really whips me back in time. CRACK.

... Reminds me that I still kinda miss rp, though. A little sheepish of not-so-private fantroll rp nowadays due to a lot of questionable events and people making me wary, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to write more again. Used to be a huge part of my life.

Ramble ramble and several degrees of separation away, but I HAVE been considering writing short stories that take place within Myriaverses. Hm. c:

Lesbians. What is your wisdom?

As an Extremely Lesbian Lesbian with High Lesbian Energy, I’ll give you my Lesbian Wisdom of the day.Considering yourself a lesbian should be a tool of good to help you find people of similar proclivities to you and -never- be a restriction on your personality! You don’t have to be “femme” or “butch” or anything, really. Just be you! Be a good person and strut your fine ass stuff!This wisdomTM also applies to all other genders. Don’t feel that being a “man” has to involve being “manly” or that being a “woman” involves being “womanly”. Nobody has to take an ultra-specific role in a relationship either. Even if you’re gay as can be, there’s never any need nor pressure to have a “wife” and “husband” analogue in the union.... Okay! That is my lesbian wisdom for the day. c;

Feeling like answering asks

Just hanging out in bed on the phone right now and am in the mood to write a little. Totally open to asks about me, my characters (fanon or original verse versions of characters can be specified too), my art, or my world builds. <3

Fairly serious and work-focused docterrorist who wants to eradicate the undead, enjoys sports and outdoor activities in her spare time. Has a very dry sense of humor, but does well with people who are spontaneous and enthusiastic because she finds them engaging.

I’d ALMOST be tempted to say Auxili Papuah, as she might enjoy the company of another troll in the medical profession. Unfortunately she’s very slow-paced herself nowadays and might not be able to keep up physically or mentally all that well.Honestly ELPIDA JENNET might be a decent fit instead! She respects docterrorists and the hard work they do (ESPECIALLY after the campaign days), and can at least appreciate some related subjects like anatomy considering all the butchering she does. They sound like they’re both people who like some physical activity, so the idea of them, idk, working out or boxing or whatever together sounds pretty legit. The only thing is that she’s much more concrete than spontaneous, so maybe meeting over sprotsTM or the occasional lunch would be best or else Elpida might bore her.
