Question for the lovely butterfly man! Would he like if the mc braided his hair? Maybe add some flowers to it?
HE LOVES HIS HAIR BRAIDED AT TIMES, BECAUSE HIS HAIR IS LONG AND CAN BE A DISTURBANCE FOR HIM 🥹
I had to doodle the man, very enjoyable lad 10/10
glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them
edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
Spoopy Season Safety
Oh my god reblog to save a me thank you
Reblogging even though it's way past Halloween bc this is an important reminder!
Stay away from anything with charcoal during this season if you are on ANY medication!!!
The way activated charcoal works is basically latches onto any medication in your system and basically neutralizes it. You may as well not be on any meds at all. Seizure meds? You're fucked. Cancer meds? You're fucked. Allergy meds? You're fucked.
DO NOT INGEST THIS STUFF!!! If you want something that dark, cookies, chocolate, and food coloring are right there.
There’s a reason activated charcoal tends to be the first line of defense against medication-related poisonings/overdoses.
alien food time! Pt 4!
last one let’s go!
1: sweet patties! Not too unlike human moon cakes in how they’re made but with very different textures and tastes due to be made underwater from a mixture of tuber and seed kelp pastes with various fillings. They are commonly given as gifts in courtship displays between different pods of manatees to gain the favor of a potential mate.
2: next up is kelp knots! A staple food for manatees with all sorts of tasty chewy fillings inside, eaten raw or cooked depending on filling.
3/4: seed kelp! One of few underwater grains manatees can use to boil bake into tasty spongy foods! Namely breads, cakes and other similar things like filled rolls.
5: pod grass! One of the rare underwater fruits native to the planet, often earn as is or sliced and sun dried above water in sealed domes that are anchored to the home of the manatee.
6: lastly we have jam! Which is exceeded difficult to make underwater do to the steam from cooking changing the humidity, temp and oxygen levels in air bubbles in the home. Due to this jams have to be made above water if they aren’t imported in, but this risks severe sunburns and drying out to manatees if they were to boil down the fruits with breaks that could potentially ruin the jam being made.
and that’s all! For now anyways enjoy the fictional noms!
alien food time! Pt 3!
we know what’s in store so let’s go!
1: first up is dense soup! A hot dish made to be denser then the the surrounding sea water causing it to stay put in the sinking bowl and not mix immediately into the open water.
2: stuffed shells! Normally kept and cleaned shells from other meals are used for this dish, giving the shells a rounder and more polished appearance the longer they’ve been used some even becoming shiny almost reflective like a mirror. Owning shells like these are said to be the marker of a good marine cook and bring prosperity.
3: booze time! Well not always, with these marine sophonts they aren’t fond of alcohol outside of offerings to their ancestors or if they’re used as a sleep aid due to the fact lower inhibitions can be problematic when you have to constantly hold your breath underwater when your not sleeping in an air pocket.
4: a specialty item underwater is sea cheese! The natural saltwater in manatee homes makes them perfect for curdling milk into cheese with some adds heat! The processes curds will either be put into molds to shape and cook then into containers of brine to age or casings similar to a sausage but plant based on most occasions. Cheese links are also a popular offering to the ancestors or deities, even as a popular currency in some communities due to the value of milk in underwater communities.
5: there is two ways underwater sophonts get milk on this planet, imported in from the land or from their own species! Manatee sophonts have a common phenomenon where after having a calf a manatee will continue to produce milk until their hormones can no longer suport it. These individuals are considered holy and blessed by the ancestors to provide food for their communities bones which are a sacred part of one’s being in their culture.
6: lastly is stuffed pods! A fruit from a specific type of sea grass that’s filled with the sweet petals of underwater tubers to make a very tasty desert.
more in part 4!
alien food time! Pt 2!
we know why we’re here so let’s get on with it!
1: first up we got eggs! Specifically the different kelp wrapping styles to keep the eggs sealed after cracking the top off to add spices and other desirable ingredients. These will be eaten cooked or raw, when cooked the kelp seal is eaten away then the insides are sliced with a utensil of choice to be eaten out of the shell. When eaten raw the eggs will be shaken up to mix all of the insides together then the seal is removed to pour the mixture out into the open water where it will float in place due to its higher density then the surrounding water, being a perfect side dish to slurp up during a meal.
2: next up is sea eggs, also known as caviar which will be wrapped in kelp to keep all of the tiny eggs together which also helps keeps and fish fry inside as well since they don’t consider it a problem if the eggs your eating hatch since it’ll be eaten along with it.
3: despite appearances these marine sophonts are do in fact eat meat! Specifically they enjoy invertebrates and mollusks! Often packing them into a kelp lunch box of sorts for easy storage of mixed proteins to be used for cooking later on after being prepared for eating.
4: popular fair foods are often different proteins and starches on sticks, either boiled or grilled depending on if the festival is completely underwater or under and above water. The most common being grub sticks, small larvae invertebrates that haven’t deviled touch shells yet so they can be eaten whole without preparation.
5: lastly is various invertebrates in brine! Usually diced or sliced to be marinated and later used in larger dishes if not eaten as is. Very popular in dense soups or as a dressing for salads.
more food in part 3!
alien food time! Pt 1!
aight so I made way more marine Aline food doodles there’s gonna be three more parts after this!
1: So to start off with these are an underwater tuber, more akin to a succulent with a large root base these lil guys can filter out salt from the water they grow in along with anything else the plant deems harmful. This makes the, one of the few natural sources of fresh water in the oceans of this planet and a great source of starches with a sweet taste! (There’s more info on these plants but they’ll probs get their own post etc)
these tubers are also completely edible, from roots to flower they can be sliced, diced or stuffed with various fillings or marinated to enjoy. Youngsters also enjoy stringing the buds for tasty accessories they make with friends.
2: despite being a technologically advanced species they prefer their traditions and not making synthetic materials if they can help it, resulting in many packages being plant based and edible or something reusable made of natural materials. As shown above a candy pouch made of tied up kelp containing various flavors of treats, mostly sour or bitter chewy treats with a few more pricey sweet hard candy drops.
3/4: more common candies that are also the common sour variety are kelp strips that have been marinated in sour brine to make then chewy and stretchy. The same marinade is also sold as a candy like treat itself either with or without the kelp inside, but even if it’s just liquid it’s still an enjoyable bubbly treats almost like a sour soda of sorts.
5: finally we have ‘pasta salad’ although more literally a pasta made from salad ingredients that results in a crunchy savory sweet combo of marinated veggie noodles and fruits to make a tasty main course for lunches and dinners.

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
Not worth taking the risk
snek please bless me
Always reblog, not for money but for snek
alien food things
aight so 👏 I’m working on more of my sophont marine mammals, specifically food because I love making speculative food and I got the point of wondering what there dairy would be like aside from traded from the mainly land dominate sophonts of the planet.
these lands are omnivores yes but still mainly eat plants with invertebrates and eggs to help round out the proteins, calcium they need for their extremely dense bones. Then I remembered the fact that a common occurrence for the manatees is that after having kids they will continuously produce milk throughout their lives until their hormones can’t support it anymore….
y’all how weird would it be for a marine mammal sophont species to collectively agree that they can be their own milk source? At least sustainably so from unneeded surplus…
Also the fact saltwater can be used to curdle milk into cheese so they now cannonicly make some bomb salty cheeses in link and brine versions.
This will always be my favorite gifset. Ever.
im morally obligated to reblog this every time i see it
Anolis Aquaticus (By: Lindsey Swierk)
Their whole skin is so hydrophobic that it is covered in a thin layer of air. They breathe that air bubble as shown, but it’s not just like holding their breath. Oxygen in the air will be replenished from the water due to the large surface area, almost like a gill. Many aquatic insects, like giant water bugs, also use oxygen diffusion similarly if they don’t have gills.
Poor Grandma
this is seriously the one time I wish a video has sound.
Brilliant.
What the hell is this? :O

What do we say to the God of Death?
Not today.
I haven’t seen this post in YEARS so I forgot what it’s like. I nearly screamed.
Betty White when Death comes calling
Tried to find the original source (the vid description gives it… but are out of date or something)… Still, here it is, in full, with sound:
Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging Patreon users an additional 30% fee.
Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already paying.
This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us. If you can avoid using the iPhone Patreon please do so.
Hank Green made a video about this kind of thing! But yes, the TL;DW is subscribe to stuff using a browser if at all possible! Otherwise either you or the creator/company you're subscribing to is getting screwed over.
hey what the fuck
Use the site, not the app!! Please!!
reblogging this with a video example, because the description doesn't do it justice.
absolutely fucking hysterical get vaporized idiot
alien language?
ok so I’m currently working on a language for my manatee duders, which I plan to be tonal (I think that’s what ya call it idk) with three different speaking forms due to limited sounds they’re able to produce. The difference of the speaking forms will be in pitch and speed of the words spoken, pitch would also shift per word not per character (mostly cuz I don’t my brain to melt). 1- high to low pitch, slow spoken. 2-even pitch, even speed. 3-low to high pitch, fast spoken.
to humans the language would also sound extremely weird since it’s designed to be spoken underwater, so to humans it sounds like loud squeaky rubber shoes with some dolphin tossed in. Honestly for humans they would likely opt for sign, at least their version which is hand signals combined with sounds like tapping their nails together, snapping fingers and clapping etc.
if anyone has experience with creating langue or like to take a crack at this feel free! atm I’m focusing on the written part of the second speaking form of the language (sketchy bits below cut if your interested)
Also kinda wanna have the names work similarly to Japanese, as in with sewerage aspects merge together to make the names like how aiko is two things, ai meaning love/affection while ko means child but together create a name. (Also would help name meanings if anyone ever wanted to make an oc for this just saying-)
