[sparklearchive]

do you have a list of affliction names? the wiki has all the fictional ones but im curious about the ones the hospital gave real illnesses since ive forgotten most of them.

Sicks a lot - weak immune system

Ultra mega sads - depression

Bleeds a lot - hemophilia

Breathes a not - asthma

Achey breaky bones - arthritis

Coughs a lot - coughing? idk

Checks a lot - OCD

Thinks a lot - anxiety/overthinking

Nervous nellie - also anxiety

Super duper short - dwarfism

Chronic head hurty - chronic migraines/headaches

Malblaise - pyromania

there may be more that I forgot

The actual proper terms DO exist on spinch, the childish joke names are used exclusively by the hospital to show how they don’t take illnesses seriously and infantilize their patients

Types of Ferries (1/3)

Basics

Ferries are the "wild animals" of Spinch. They are not existing animals like anthries, but instead they are "mixes" of animals.

The names of ferries are usually puns or silly in some creative way to mix the names of the original animals. Below is a list of some ferry types, but new ones can be made.

Domestic Ferries

Cog

Cogs are four-eared cats that act like dogs. Cogs come in many varying sizes and all sorts of colors. They are omnivorous. They also have a large range of personalities, sometimes they're angels, sometimes they're volatile.

Cox

Cox in the wild are territorial carnivores that live alone and don't like being around others. Domestic cox are slightly less hostile, but they only let you pet them on their terms.

Crat

Crats are critters who are very playful by nature and make very loveable pets, but they will bite you sometimes! They mostly eat insects food-wise.

Rox

Rox are nocturnal herbivores that spend most of the day sleeping in patches of sunlight. In the wild they mostly eat berries and fruits. They can be sweet but get cranky if you pick them up!

Dox

Dox are omnivores who will eat basically anything. When strays, they will often dig through garbage cans for food like real-life raccoons. They are very friendly.

Drat

Drats are exciteable pets who love attention from their owners. Similar to crats, drats have a diet that consists mostly of insects and small easy-to-catch prey.

Common Mop

Common mops are a domestic ferry that is used for cleaning. They are technically sea ferries, but can live outside of water.

Long Mop

Long mops are another domestic ferry that's used for cleaning. Also sea ferries, long mops have stronger more durable cleaning abilities and you need a license to own them.

Food Chains

(Because they don't eat meat and all anthries are vegetarian, their "equivalent" of several types of meats are called beat (meat), chichen (chicken), gotbeef (beef), bork (pork). These "meats" are made out of mushrooms to resemble meat and is basically the same concept as plant-based meat products.)

Rememburger - Fast food chain that sells burgers, chichen tenders, hot dogs and corn dogs.

Southern Death Chichen Kitchen - Fried chichen place that serves Southern Death chichen, which is a type of chichen that is unbelievably spicy. Its name not only comes from its place of origin, but it's truly like sudden death.

Lie's - Sit-down diner restaurant that serves a variety of foods.

Northern Heights Bites - Fast food chain that serves "bite-sized" foods like mini corn dogs and chichen nuggets and tater tots.

Video Games

Types of Enchanthries

Unicorn

Unicorns have natural healing powers and conditional immortality, which is a healing ability in which a unicorn cannot die from illness or injury, only old age and at the hands of another unicorn.

Dragon

Dragons have extremely high body temperatures and possess pyrokinesis. They are not affected by cold weather and temperatures in the way regular anthries are due to their fire magic.

Werebeast

The curse of evolutionary reversion, a curse which causes anthries to turn back into their distant ancestors of therries. They have to learn to control their beast form from childhood. If turned into a werebeast later in life, control of the form is more difficult.

Vampire

Vampires on Spinch are much like they are in horror media. They cannot survive in daylight and they survive off of attacking anthries and drinking their blood. They have mind control powers as well, and the ability to wipe people's memories.

ESPer (Extrasensory Perception)

ESPers have the ability to read people's minds. ESPers only have one eye which is often covered up by the ESPer with a mask to avoid exposing themselves. They are largely feared by people because of their incredible powers, and this leads them to hide their identities to avoid scaring people who don't want their minds read.

Objecthry

Objecthries are the children of anthries and inanimate objects, through objectum relationships. They are often "fusions" of anthries and the other object parent(s), but always have an anthry body shape and just traits of the object.

Cake Enchanthry

Cake enchanthries are made out of cake. Their insides are cake and frosting, they do not have organs. They are technically edible, but most people... generally do not do that.

Pinata Enchanthry

Piñata enchanthries are made out paper and cardboard. Their insides are candy, and similar to cake enchanthries, they do not have actual organs or blood or anything like that.

Robanthry

Technically not an enchanthry, robanthries are "anthry-made" in the sense they are built mechanically and not made by Emem. Robanthries are a huge topic of ethical debate in modern Spinch. Some say giving anyone the power to create life is immoral. However, sometimes robanthries used to be anthries who just transitioned to be robanthry. That's considered a different conversation.

Enchantries and Types of Magic

Enchantries

Enchanthries are anthries that have magic abilities, and are often mythical creatures from folklore.

Regular anthries who use magic are simply called magic users. The existence of enchanthries on Spinch is not exactly a secret, but they aren't very well known because enchanthries tend to not draw much attention to themselves.

The scientific community still hasn't really accepted the existence of magic or enchanthries for they cannot find a way to logically explain them or their powers.

Magic

Magic is the controlling of Spinch's elements, and any anthry can learn to be a magic user, not just enchanthries, but some are more naturally gifted in the art of magic.

Types of Magic

Time Magic

Abilities: Travel through time (most don’t do this because it’s very dangerous), slow down time/objects/persons, speed up time/objects/persons, pause time/objects/persons.

Rolas Metsys Planets

Kepchup

Kepchup is a really hot planet. It's home to Animocity, which is a society underneath a layer of suffocating volcanic clouds that makes the land a “hellscape” in appearance.

The inhabitants of Animocity are called Animons, which are demonic animal humanoid creatures resembling anthries.

Their features tend to include various forms of white striped curved horns and white striped tails, alongside black and red and orange fur colors and eyes.

Their blood is orangeish-red like lava and their blush and injuries are also orangeish-red. They cannot fly and usually do not have wings, but they do have the advantage of being able to shape land/rocks and lava flows. They are essentially defenseless in Anthell due to the lack of physical ground.

The creator of Kepchup is a Poggie named Sweat Enblood who is the estranged brother of Tears. Legends say they had differing ideals about creating life that damaged their relationship, and Sweat is now considered a cursed name in Virtuism.

Penuts

Penuts is the cloud planet. Its the home of Anthell, a society that lives on the clouds. Different regions of the planet experience different specific weathers. It's unknown if Penuts has a surface or solid ground.

The inhabitants of Anthell are called Anthrels are weather-themed angel-like animal humanoid creatures resembling anthries.

Their features tend to be related to weather, as do their allotpuns. They have water instead of blood in their veins, making their blush and injuries blue.

They tend to have wings and a halo and can fly and phase through things (like clouds) at will but most of the time their bodies are solid. They can make themselves phase to prevent injury. They can also control weather and water.

The creator of Penuts is a Poggie named Cardi Vascular who is the sister of Tears and Sweat. She is alleged to be a kind and loving soul who cares a lot about her creations.

Sprimkle

Sprimkle is the water planet. Its the home of Aquarity, a society that lives under the water. The land formations in the water like trenches determine the regional boundaries and cities of Aquarity.

The inhabitants of Aquarity are called Aquanthries which are anthry cat creatures with fish characteristics.

It's important to note that every aquanthry is cat-like. They cannot breathe oxygen and have gills. They have regular red blood like anthries.

Their biology and society is strangely close to anthry society, almost to a level that is quite curious.

The creator of Sprimkle is unknown... who could have made it?
