plushie making!

one of my PEAK coping mechanisms when it comes to missing my partners from source is that i make a plushie of them!

Ive finished lazuli like 4iishh months ago but i know you wanna see her bald too

here is laz holding a piece of lazuli. I love her if you couldnt tell. Wip pics under cut

I love the bald stage so much.

human race (i do not have it)

let's preface. humans say i am of mixed race, and my human parents are both mixed too. i guess id say im spanish, african, white, mostly those things but a lot of other things too. i grew up white, though (not as in 'white passing'---im not. i mean culture wise). i have no rich human culture under my belt other than "united states of american", whatever that means in the grand scheme of things.

i have always never known what to say when people ask me, "where are you from?" in the past i would've said i'm hispanic. but i dont have that culture to ascribe myself to, no matter how much i look it. it was embarrassing to not know. nowadays, i'd probably just say im from space. i'm an alien. i have always felt different and i never fit into any of these racial boxes humans like to enforce on each other. race is incredibly important to humans and im NOT saying it shouldnt be. it just isnt important to me, personally, my "human race", im not human.

i've always felt like i SHOULD have culture, ever since i was a wiggler, but i didnt. until i remembered, who i really am, that is, not a human. i do have race and i do have culture. just not any that a human being would drop onto my head because of how i look or what my body's genes consist of. it's beautiful, extraterrestrial, and i finally have heritage i connect with. i finally know where i'm from.

some genders for gems

im not one to like, coin stuff, but my unique relationship with gender as a result of me being a gem is hard to put into an already-existing box. so i made some new boxes, if any gems out there are interested.

Gem

it's a species and gender identifier. for any gem who thinks "being a gem" ties into their gender somehow. here are the meanings for the colors:

dark purple: our connection to space

light purple: our ability to have gender

white-green: our inorganic nature

light green: our lack of biological sex

darker green: our newfound connection to earth

black: our ties to homeworld

the pink star: our alignment with rose quartz/the crystal gems

Masc-Gem and Fem-Gem

for any gem who aligns with human gender ideas of masculinity and/or femininity. i dont have reasons for the colors other than humans think blue = boy and pink = girl (very silly of them, but oh well).

that is all!

a new-ish 'kintype

a while ago, about 4 months ago, i decided i was not actually a dragon. i had identified as such for about a year by that point, but i never really felt my wings. despite me dropping that identity...there were still other things about it that held true that didnt apply to my other 'types. so i realized "wait im a drake...that was so obvious..." so anyway! hi i am also a drake! thats a self portrait up there. quite the boring looking creature. i'll go into more detail of my 'type below if you're interested.

when people think of a dragon or drake, they usually think "very powerful fire breathing beast". i'm neither of those things as a drake. i suppose im more of a scavenger or lower on the trophic levels, flitting about the woods trying to avoid predators. i remember raking the bark of pine trees with my claws. i dont know why my coat is white; my best guess is that it must be my winter coat, and it changes from season to season (but that is just a theory). i lived in temperate deciduous forests, and that fact is what makes me so sure of this 'type seperate from my koraidon 'type---as a koraidon i lived in the pokemon equivalent of a jungle. i'm not completely furred, instead my digits to my forearms are scaled, kinda like a bird. that's all for now :^D woohoo self discovery

us arthropods should get a prize or something bc of how much crap we have to put up with daily, like its just socially acceptable to despise ALL arthropods with a passion... i suppose it may just be mammalian instinct to be averse to "strange" looking species, but it still sucks (esp if the hate or disdain is coming from within the nonhuman community). be nice to your local bugs and arachnids and other such creatures !!

fictionkin shifts?

hiya fellow fictionkin. i have a question. is it fairly unusual to not "kinshift", rather just be i guess "kinshifted" all the time? forever? there is never a moment where i'm not being me ("my fictotype"), but i have come to realize that may be a bit odd. i'm not worried about it, just curious to see if this is a common experience or not.
