Guys I’m thinking about future comic bs and… being a multi shipper is proving to make this so fucking difficult. Guys. There’s so many pairings you don’t understand.i could keep it vague so you can choose your own but that’s PUSSY SHIT.
Yall. Send help. I have so many good scenes but I can’t figure out which ones gotta be sacrificed for the better pairing.
Davekat…. Johnkat… pepsicola… cherrypepsicola… davejane…. Bropa… brodad…… dirkjake…. Ok actually that one is like the only one I’ve got for Dirk….. dirkjohn?? Not totally my cup of tea but like maybe— nothing wrong with it??? Fuck.. Johnsprite?? Jadesprite??? Roxyjane…. Or do I put her with calliope??? Like I planned??? Alphadave x alphajohn????? UGHHH.
Goddamn you Hussie.
And this isn’t even CONSIDERING quadrant bullshit.
Life advice……stay up two hours too late and drag your body out of bed 35 minutes before you have to leave for work and then spend a solid chunk of time on tumblr before getting ready
This will make you feel good & happy & full of life I prommy
hey i just read your post with the comic about how it would go if petey broke off the relationship, and it got me wondering...
how would rory react if petey was the one who was shot?
im including a little tidbit from my husband bc i think its funny but also kinda true
i think rory would NOT be normal about petey getting severely injured in general. hes always seen him as this dumb cocky bastard who always gets away with everything, being nearly untouchable, and petey does that on purpose. he WANTS people to see him that way, so him getting shot?? him being able to BLEED and truly BEG for his life???
rory couldnt believe it, he didnt want to believe it. peteys messing with him, obviously, totally. cmon you dumb cat this is going on too far, get up
peteys bloods pooling onto the floor and hes weakly and nonsensically begging and babbling for rory to help him
✦ DENIZENS AND SOCIALISATION (illustrated by @svnkssr!)
Denizens first and foremost are animal people. Even if they appear as humanoids, wing-headed beasts, or nudibranch, their methods of communication can vary wildly from that of our own.
[ ko-fi / bsky ]
To break it down, denizen communication relies on speech, body language, and sensing. Different umbrellas prioritise these different methods in order to communicate, but that is only the tendency and not the 'law'.
For Humaine, socialisation is roughly like our own, speech and verbal cues dominating for them. After speech comes body language (specifically concerning the face), and then comes senses; a humanoid's sense of smell / telepathy is typically poor, and thus cannot always find information about another through any other sense than sight.
Kreyati tend to rely primarily on the body language of others. While they do utilise speech, a kreyati will immediately scan one's body language for certain cues to gleam crucial details. Unlike humanoids, they do not focus by default on the facial features of the creature. Body language is deeply important to them, to the point where different species have their own body languages (ex; curl devils exposing their throats via clothing or gestures to show trust, bristlebacks biting/licking/accepting objects with their mouths to show affection).
Mythocuertas do not actually have a set 'hierarchy' of methods for communication, as they are more abstract creatures in nature and it is more socially acceptable for different species and individuals to form their own or adapt those of others. Curiously, certain mythos species (EATRs especially) use senses like smell to understand someone faster than words could. an EATR's sense of smell is so powerful, they can smell if someone has cancer, if they are pregnant, who is related to them, what they had eaten hours prior, stress, and fear. While they cannot smell intentions, being able to smell out certain traits a skill that is not used lightly.
For these very reasons, it is integral for denizens to be socialised from a young age. While denizens are generally more open minded about discussions concerning their species and phenotype, this cannot be easily relied on. Missed or confusing bodily cues can send or recieve confusing signals and build relationships based on false pretenses or accidentally provoke someone without intending to.
