What's everyone's favorite biome? Can be as broad as "Rainforest" or as specific as "Northernmost pocket of the Appalachian spruce-fir temperate rainforest"

Adeline - 👏 ABYSSAL 👏 PLAINS 👏 whalefall enthusiast! Thinks isopods are cute (they are to me too)! Hates the slander we've committed against blobfish! Obsessed with the unknown of the deep!!! Oh to be a jellyfish drifting above the plains for detritus!! We love you Adeline!!!!

Alfred - The pure snowy white of the tundra. He finds it beautiful and respects the animals even more for enduring it. Not a single tarnished speck in sight! Loves snow hares too.

Bloody Crow - The Dragon's Blood tree forests of Socotra. He likes it for the exact reason you think. Edgelord lol

Brador - The Siberian Taiga. He's actually a big fan of snow in general believe it or not. There's a sort of wonder in his eyes as he sees all these evergreen trees standing strong in the ice and snow. Oh to be an elk or perhaps a moose roaming free in the taiga.

Djura - Gives me coniferous forest vibes. Oh to be a timber wolf running free in the temperate pine forests of the PNW. I think he'd have a great time vacationing up there too. Second pick would be Yellowstone National Park. Yes, it's because of the wolves lol

Eileen - Whatever Scandinavia has going on here:

She'd go fucking nuts by renting a cabin and drinking hot chocolate on the porch admiring the view lol.

Gascoigne - He strikes me as a Wild West Arizona desert kind of guy. Maybe it's his giant hat lol

Gehrman - one of the few wetland appreciators which is absolutely based of him. Great stretches of marshy grasslands with hundreds of migratory birds to watch? Sign him the fuck UP

Henryk - The vast stretches of the Sahara desert dunes. His favorite color is yellow/gold/oranges and he loves the heat. He cannot stand how chilly it is in Yharnam lol

Lady Maria - she's afraid of the open ocean BUT catch her going fishing on the beach. RIP Lady Maria you would've loved landing tarpons and groupers in the Florida Keys. Oh to be a butch in her natural habitat.

Laurence - the highly developed and urbanized cities of England because he hates most animals except for cats. There's a reason why Yharnam expanded so quickly once he took control. The only real biodiversity now is plagued rats and carrion crows. Boo!

Ludwig - 👏 GREAT 👏 PLAINS 👏 OF AMERICA. LOOK at all of this beautiful and vast land where the grass flows with the wind! Oh to be a wild mustang galloping free in the fields!

Micolash - the twilight/midnight zone. Grant us eyes! Grant us eyes! Or... Grant us hundreds of bioluminescent copepods and squid, that works too!

Rom - whatever biome has the highest density of spiders. Sooo Australia???

...I guess Rom was right to live in Yharnam, England lol.

Valtr - the Australian Outback because he sees that as the final destination of his travels of beating up every organism in sight. He's heard of the wildlife. He wants to go there SO BAD. Oh to fist fight a kangaroo... Oh to take a bite out of a taipan... Valtr what is wrong with you lol

Yamamura - intertidal zones. He loves to forage for urchins and seaweed. He loves seeing the little guys hide under the rocks. He loves scooping up little fishies. He loves picking up hermit crabs. Second pick has gotta be the humble temperate forest, where he can take a relaxing walk and listen to the birds sing... (Yes I did give Yamamura my personal favorite biome of tidepools lmao)

vampire glinda and some other kind of magical creature elphaba (werewolf? cryptid? alien?) needing to work together to hide their true natures from the world, enemies to lovers

yes yes yes good idea. I like the idea of cryptid elphaba tbh. not sure what KIND of cryptid. sea monster, ironically, comes to mind. little silly of an idea considering the canonical water allergy... I just very much enjoy the idea of Elphaba as some kind of... swamp beast type thing. think long tongue and maybe some horns.

anyway. vampire glinda. swamp creature elphaba (and maybe werewolf fiyero?) meeting in strange circumstances and begrudgingly having to work together to pass in modern society.... maybe to make it more dramatic.... there are Monster Hunters out there.....

A scene comes to mind-- Glinda, who is able to pass the easiest as Human.. infiltrating the band of monster hunters... only for them to discover her vampirism, then needing to be rescued by an outraged and incredibly powerful Swamp Creachure elphbaba... (hydrokinesis, maybe?)

hmmmm..... i like this idea..... but one fic at a time.......

unn w/ mossy meadows?

if you are still taking media recs i am going to say hollow knight. it's a pretty difficult game but not in an unfair way, and the story has this deep pervasive melancholy/sense of grief and wonder for all that was lost and yet still showing all these small ways life persists despite everything. also it's a fantasy world where all the people are bugs and i think that is delightful.

ohh hollow knight ive been on and off the cusp of getting into it forever now. i love that they are bugs with cloaks

What I’m wondering is how is cinder going to be sustainable? Yeah they’re getting all this money at the start, but mintin/selling nfts is *expensive* and the more cinder nfts there are, the less scarce they become, and the less people will want to pay for new ones

i honestly am not sure. i want to say no, just like all nft related shit, my personal wishful opinion is that eventually the novelty will wear off and people will realize this technology is extremely unnecessary for like 99% of the things its used for rn, and will stop giving a shit. but im sort of nervous that it will really take off as it seems to be right now. not just cinder of course, but nfts and such... real actual non cryptobro investors are using nfts now and its kind of concerning. but what do you expect... theyre just a way to create artificial value and get money from it i guess 😔

as for cinder, i just dont know. i hope wildworks fucks this one up as they have with their previous games, and i sincerely hope the cinder fae end up being worth little to nothing. as of now, though, there seems to be a lot of excitement and interest in the game, and its hard not to have a doomer attitude abt it all

i don't really have a concrete suggestion for the nanami/utena/anthy tag but it might make sense for it to have something to do with cats? because anthy draws the parallel between utena and the cat nanami gave to touga in episode 10, which also foreshadows what will happen between them later in the show. idk though just throwing ideas at the wall here.

okay the first thing that sprung into my head was just "nya" followed by "nyan neko sugar girls" because my brain is a mess.

But no that is a good suggestion!! I named the nanami + anthy pair after the concept of them both being "lambs for the slaughter" because of akio's predation of anthy and her role as a witch [scapegoat] vs touga's manipulation of nanami and the parallels between the silhouete of nanamoo and those shots of anthy being impaled. I think I have to thank Tea from the EM server for talking about that stuff, among others, for inspiration there. So something similar for the trio would be good....

Some pun about felines... or something more serious referencing a cat's nine lives or a black [witch's] cat being bad luck..?

[bornetoblood]

if it's not too complicated for a sketch, could you draw beast laurence with those massive sad shining eyes like on the autism creature or those photos of cats that are edited to look like they're crying?

hes just a little guy

is your avatar a specific type of bird or is it just a Vaguely Bird-Shaped Creature? the first time i saw it i just went "ah! a sandpiper!" and that stuck in my brain but i am now realizing that it might not actually be a sandpiper.

it's just kind of a vaguely bird-shaped creature i drew years ago because i liked birds and wanted a new icon. i can totally see how you'd get sandpiper though. i posted this on my 19th birthday and my friend asked "is that your fursona or what?" and to this day i honestly don't know
