“A swim at wanelight.” - [© 2023]

Anuranish: The modern language native to frogs and toads. Each family has their own dialect, and differing populations within the same genus may even have their own vocal quirks. Salamanders and newts, and caecilians; have their own language. Urodelish and Apodish. but all amphibians can learn to speak a broader, more universal language: Amphibish.

Anu-Ra: An important ancestor-deity with modern amphibians, both past and present. She is rumored to have been the “first” who is believed to have thrived hundreds of millions of years ago. She is also a representation of water, prosperity, health, fertility, and life within amphibian culture. Known as Ichthyostega by humans.

Season of Song: The time of year when bullfrogs awaken and flora begins to sprout. Frogs spend their time finding mates and celebrating new life. Akin to Spring.

Season of Spawn: The time of year when the sun is hottest, tadpoles begin to hatch, while first or second year tadpoles develop limbs. Life is prosperous and food is plenty. Akin to Summer.

Season of Sedentary: The time of year when the land falls cold, and plants begin to wither and die. Food is scarce and life becomes lethargic. Akin to Autumn.

Season of Sleep: The time of year when bullfrogs enter brumation at the bottom of a pond or creek, and the earth is frozen. Snow begins to fall and they enter a state of total torpor until spring. Akin to Winter.

Frozen Sleep: Brumation, the amphibian and reptile term for torpor and/or hibernation. They are dormant, often inactive.

Brume: The spectral or spiritual remains of an animal after they have passed. Akin to spirits or ghosts.

Home Pool: A place where bullfrogs gather to breed and thrive. Can be anything from slow-moving creeks, ponds, fens, swamps, lakes, etc.

Stalwart: The largest, strongest, and healthiest male bullfrog. Usually possesses the best sector of territory within the home pool in terms of food, shelter, and offspring. Will dominate other frogs in regards to resources or mating rights. The highest ranking title a male bullfrog can achieve.

Dowager: The largest and healthiest female bullfrog. Has seasoned more offspring than any of the others, and often dominates the other female frogs in terms of resources. The highest ranking title a female bullfrog can achieve.

Province: The general bodily population of bullfrogs in a specific region or territory.

Hatchlings: Tadpoles aged 1-2 years.

Weanlings: Tadpoles aged 2-3 years.

Juveniles: Young bullfrogs who have mostly metamorphized but are not socially or physically able to breed. Ages 3-4 years.

Bull: A male bullfrog (4-10 years of age)

Sow: A female bullfrog (4-10 years of age)

Nursery: A safe place designated for eggs and tadpoles inside the home pool, often in a deeper area tucked away from potential predators.

Drifter: A bullfrog who does not live within a stable body of water or territory; a wanderer. Does not stick around home pools. Not many frogs commit to this risky lifestyle.

Croon song: A special and unique mating call that every male bullfrog performs come springtime.

Prill: Waste/droppings. Often also used as a curse word.

Slipping skin: To shed one’s skin. Molting.

Brume-warming: To sunbathe, absorbing heat from the sun and warming the soul.

Tag-leg: A best friend, companion.

Squark: The defensive cry that a bullfrog emits when in danger. Can be defensive or offensive, and depends on context.

Sour prey: Toxic or inedible prey.

Brute-leg: A cannibal. Is done by choice or when the opportunity arises. May occur more during fall or winter when food is especially scarce. Many bullfrogs scorn this behavior unless absolutely necessary.

Drub: A physical fight between bullfrogs, often intense and aggressive. Many males during mating season will often get into drubs with each other.

Wakelight: Akin to morning.

Weelight: Akin to noon.

Wanelight: Akin to evening.

Wakedark: Akin to dusk.

Weedark: Akin to midnight.

Wanedark: Akin to dawn.

Fink: Predators, enemies of bullfrogs. Generalized for all predatory species.

Flee-The-Fink: A traditional bullfrog game in which one player takes on the role of predator, and the others pretend to flee. Similar to a game of tag.

Bluff-drub: A traditional frog game in which juvenile male bullfrogs wrestle for fun. The practice helps when the time eventually comes for them to choose a mate and battle for territory or dominance.

The Blight: A fatal illness that often spreads through frogs and other amphibians, sometimes fish and reptiles. Known as Ranavirus by humans. The mortality rate is high and always fatal.

I sound like the fun police but I come to the defense of my Hares/Jackrabbits guys saying they are also very chill and silly boys, they are just built different and u all are judging them for they look 😔.

[lepurcinus]

I know that sometimes I feel a lot like "only I am right and all those who don't see it the same way are a bunch of idiots" I swear I'm not, it's just that the topics I talk about are things in which it really seems that whoever says it doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

And also when it comes to certain topics, there are times when the reasoning of certain people on that topic seems to me very ehhhhhhhhh…. Dumb

One of them and that I have read several times is the refusal of people to add or rather change the gender of some main character in Watership Down to female. Mostly if it is a character that appears before Efrafa's entry. And why? It's not because they actually hate to see a girl being important in the extended male group no no no no…nor that it breaks Adams' wonderful vision of masculinity (what the hell am I saying here). If not because according to them "it breaks the point of going to Efrafa and looking for females". Why? Because according to their criteria "if they already have a couple of girls it will be enough to reproduce and then they will not have conflicts".

And exactly how the fuck does that work? Not only indirectly they sound even more misogynistic than the work itself is when accused of such, but it also makes no sense and is even disturbing in context what they think is going to happen. First of all. Insinuating that a single doe or two at most will undermine the problem further adds to the issue that "Watership Down is misogynistic for treating does as mere reproductive tools". "But they're Lep animals" you're going to tell me, well, as much as I appreciate their handling in the novel, these rabbits still remain anthropomorphic enough to feel emotions of justice, concern, equality, individuality and many other things. Don't give me that nonsense, which also shows me that you really don't know how things work, because females don't just exist to reproduce un rabbits life.

On the other hand, I don't know exactly if you noticed, but it's ironic that idea considering that the same book acknowledges a couple of times that having a single doe in a group of males will make the males fight over that one. It's not just a "come on guys, let's all take turns fucking this girl." Even in the wild rabbits can choose a single mate to bond to. On the other hand, that would then cause the kits to be half-siblings to each other, which would later make them have to do it between cousins, brothers, nieces, nephews, fathers and uncles. And that's fucking shady and disgusting even by Watership Down standards (which is actually pretty high). And they will surely say the same thing about "they are animals in them inbreeding is normal" not just again with rabbits who show they have a modicum of morals. If not that's a lie, god, except in very few exceptions animals actively avoid inbreeding and even have specific strategies for that. And that applies to rabbits.

At the end of the day the point is to pass on your genes and strengthen them, not weaken them by interbreeding them with each other. It's logical for them, a stable rabbit warren needs mixed numbers or more females than males, not the other way around. And much of this still applies to the WD world.

So that point and this "justification" for denying those changes are incredibly stupid and I have no qualms in saying so.

Great :D.

Take the time you need, I'm pretty sure most of us neither have the same time now for being as active as before, so no worries.

I'll wait for seen more of your stuff again

I ammm aliiiiiive!!!

I haven’t been on a lot of my online socials very much.. but my life has been stupidly crazy for much of last year. I was unemployed for a while, (not anymore, yay!) and then there were some personal/familial problems I had to handle. Despite all that, I really hope to start posting more again in 2025! Wee…. :’)

Making of page 216 of my comic (from 2022!!) without any commentary or editing, just screen recording. This video was for patrons but it's been sitting around for a year so I thought maybe other people would like to see it. I've changed my steps some, mostly which programs I use for them, but it's still pretty accurate. For this page I used mostly SAI, CSP for bubbles, PS for backgrounds and effect layers.

Sorry it's so quick! You can slow it down to see better.

This is a **PERSONAL/ART BLOG** but more personal than artsy. The goal of this blog is NOT to grow an audience, the goal is to have an internet space for myself where i can be weird. I sometimes reblog NSFW things so please be aware of that, being exposed to NSFW content when a minor can affect you negatively, altho the things i reblog here are mostly discussion on sexuality rather than straight up sexual things, I don't want to expose you accidentaly to something you might not be ready to process. That said, I do agree that sex education from a pleasure point of view is important instead of censuring everything, so, if you are a minor and stumbled into this blog, I recommend you search better sources for sex education instead of my silly reblogs i do sometimes (I know this long ass paragraph makes it look like I reblog things like this all the time but I dont, I just think its important to clarify it)

this is my introduction post c:
