dinosaur in a lab coat - would you trust her with operating the centrifuge
#my art#oc#mockley#anthro#furry#dinosaur#i like the headshot especially so i'm including it too#unintentional redraw of the mockley ref from back in may. this is the natural mockley pose i guess - this is her official render#so i included the symbolism thing again with some slight edits#grhaggh i love her i'm ripping her to pieces with my mind.....my doddery old bint#okay i've got a lot to do tonight. why i did this today of all days i don't know but for people who want art from me#keep yer eyes peeled#also i'm gonna also use this for oc-tober. lol#for the monster prompt. mockley's a monster...literally to us and more metaphorically in her universe#also for ages i was trying to make mockley's species a dinosaur but like evolved. different and weirder#now i'm like embracing full dinosaur i'm too tired to make up a new species i can't....i surrender

hear me out: moose in mlp
#mlp#my little pony#my little pony friendship is magic#twilight sparkle#oakley the moose#any other oakley fans out there#one of my FAVORITE mlp toys ever#i wish they would reissue her oakleys go for like 250$ on ebay :sob: i guess it is a rare G1 toy#oh also i hc that in mlp some horned species like moose can make special carvings on their horns to “Access” magic#but they cant use uncarved horns to cast spells#unicorn and kirin horns have natural magical markings on them so they dont need to do it#my version of oakley's magic is blue like her leaves : )#i am also a huge truther about putting cutie marks on non pony characters

flowers blooming in such heft and numbers they bend the plant over and plants bearing fruit so hard they shower everything under it in fruits or make the very branches bend…. creatures are just experiencing vast bounty and good fortune out there fr fr
#this is a vague post about some hydrangeas I saw and also about our neighbor’s blackberry bush just going ham#blackberries all over the hostas in the grass in the wood chips no sign of stopping#thinking about those trees that experience superfruiting events en masse on purpose to such numbers#that it just satiates all predators / threats to the seeds being sewn. so much that it is literally impossible for none to be successful#we watched a video about it in a bio lecture once in college and I cannot remember which species it was#but it was so much that the squirrel population had like. circular boom/bust years where way too many squirrels would be born#but the trees wouldn’t do another superfruit for years. which then created squirrel bust years#creatures just experiencing stuff I guess

#HEHEHE THEY'RE SO CUTE I LOVE THEMMM#such a shame these scenes are so brief 😭#avatar#avatar 2#the way of water#sully family#jake sully#neytiri#neteyam#kiri#lo'ak#jeytiri#lì'fya leNa'vi#gif#i'm actually not sure whether Jake is meant to be saying “sloa tsyal” (wide wing) or “slotsyal” (stormglider) here#but i thiiiiiink i hear the -a sound in there#i mean i suppose it doesn't REALLY matter; either one would make sense in this context#and the species name “slotsyal” derives from “sloa tsyal” anyways (as I'm sure you could've guessed hrh)#(btw “syu” is not a real word; just the closest I could come to the “whoosh” sound effect he's making with Forest dialect phonetics hrh)#it sounds like he also says something else before Neytiri says “hufwe” but I can't make out what it's supposed to be#cuz the voiceover narration is talking over it -_-;#in the next shot when Neytiri is running around she also says something#sounds like it might be “tysal latsu” meaning roughly “must be a wing”#or perhaps “tsyal atun” meaning “red/orange wing” which would make sense with Kiri's little Toruk toy#but I think there's an S sound in there so idk#again it's hard to tell because the narration is playing over it#SHUT UP NARRATION JAKE I'M TRYING TO HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SCENE 😭#oh well

JnJ really said “Golfball is a billion+ years old” and we as a community have not acknowledged that NEARLY enough. She’s implied to be an ancient Yoyle-City dweller, has been researching the land of Goiky for at least a billion years, and probably has some sort of memory loss if that flashback at the science museum is any indicator. There’s concepts we can play with here guys
#Fun Fact! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old And the earliest signs of life are from around 3.5 billion years ago#but multicellular life only evolved around 600 million years ago#So remember that when putting Golf Ball’s age in perspective!#*GB voice* “TENIS BALL! I’ve seen empires rise and fall under their own hubris! Species evolve and die out! The constellations shift and t-#*TB voice* “Golfball I just asked if you wanted to watch a movie.”#Also this is a complete guess about Two’s age. It’s for the bit <3#bfdi#tpot#two#golf ball#tpot two#bfdi golf ball#me shitposts mateys

the rest of the cast got their new song covers, so i wanted to try putting the others in a band :>
i did want to make it look a bit like an album cover but i have no idea how those are designed so eh?? i also couldn't think of any band or album/song names so. if anyone has any ideas...
#art#obey me#obey me raphael#jtta ik#obey me mephistopheles#obey me thirteen#from left to right they are: lead singer/rhythm guitar - drummer - lead guitar - bass#tbh any of them could've taken any role but bassist girl thirteen spoke to me and raph canonically sings well so that felt like it fit#i did consider ik as lead but she'd absolutely shred on the drums. she has so much pent-up rage to let out...#in context this is for a music festival diavolo's putting on but it'd be a fun au as well#i like to think thirteen is the overwhelming favourite of all the fangirls#also in terms of band name...#i was thinking something based on the fact that there's one of each species (human/demon/angel/reaper) but what word can i use for that#jo has suggested something involving the numbers 3 and 4 for 3 realms and 4 members#3.4HZ Harmony was the best we could come up but it feels like there should be a sorta other-world element to it#then again if it's an au then i guess they'd all be humans anyway#ah whatever#life and work related obligations have been growing so naturally i've been starting a bunch of creative endeavours to try to get away from#is this a long term good thing for future career prospects? probably not. but i'd rather be happy#the unknowables

check out this neat little guy i found in a park in northern california! he was iridescent, so cool!
Pretty sure this is a Sceloporus, which are just awesome lizards. Did you get a chance to see the belly? Because it can be just *stunning*.
[src]
#lizard#animals#Sceloporus#biology#hidden delights#nature#wildlife#the colouration is a measure of fitness of the males#there is SO much research on this#also the colour is enhanced in individuals that have malaria#for some reason#oh yeah lizards get malaria#I guess that might also be news to a lot of people#not Plasodium but a different genus#and tbh it is utterly bonkers#like there is one species of lizard that is host for two malaria species#but for the one species to infect#the other one has to infect it first#which is just silly#there was a brief moment where I thought my entire career would be lizard malaria#but a shitty potential supervisor who didn't give me the time of day shot down the idea completely#so I did my Bachelor's thesis on ratite birds instead#and here we are

I just did this to show an aged up character design of the precious child to be honest.
#why you might ask? i dunno. sometimes i make things complicated for myself I guess.#i'm too lazy to find my of shitty comics thread featuring the child™ so here#if theres a ranking for young mistresses in jianghu. jiang cheng would be conflicted about being happy that his darling girl made it#or angry that teen aged boys ogled at his child.#i also honestly just gave jiang cheng a daughter 'cause I wanted to populate the female species in mdzs.#i didn't think I could use it with the overprotective dad trope but here we are.#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#an oc

Recently extinct species make me sad for all the usual and normal reasons (loss of life, biodiversity and unique life forms that experienced the world wholly uniquely and acted in it like no other, to name three), but a big thing that also makes me so sad is the forgetting that comes right after. Many endangered species are greatly ignored to begin with whilst alive of course, which is awful, but the way that extinction also causes us to forget. A species could’ve been so abundant a hundred years ago, people would’ve used a fish species or a tasty plant for food, or parents would’ve warned their children to not put a poisonous toadstool or insect in their mouth, a diver would exclaim, “Aha!” after emerging from the shallows holding an especially big bivalve, or someone making a species diary would sketch out a local bird or fasten a single flower to the page. But.. then the species goes extinct. It doesn’t exist anymore. None of these events, these actions happen anymore. Not with these species. The people who had these experiences dwindle out and they may not even realise that their experiences were among the last of their kind. And we forget.
#i was thinking about the new zealand greyling which was once abundant#the maori people used to fish it and use it for food#for generations upon generations this fish species was their normal#but now it is just gone#could they have guessed that this will happen? that their everyday food item would go extinct one day#i was also thinking about the atlantic sturgeon and how it went regionally extinct in the baltic#the old northern europe people knew sturgeons. heck we had them less than a hundred years ago still#it was a native fish just like any other. just like salmon and trout#now? no one talks about them#they are forgotten#we dont learn about them alongside the perch and the pike and the roach and the trout#they are a mystery of a time gone by here#and it makes me so sad… how quickly we forget. we shouldnt

I know we've all been hurt and I do understand where misanthropy comes from but I can't help but respect a species that will travel for hours and gather in open spaces to witness a rare astronomical event and start howling like coyotes when it happens just because it's cool
#like. yes I know. other species also appreciate beauty. other species also react with delight to special occasions. but I don't think that#that is a reason not to appreciate humans. I don't think humans are Special and Exceptional.#I think they're quite a bit like a lot of other animals and guess what. I love animals#thoughts#listen a species that would think to invent music and literature and track when eclipses happen just to throw a party is alright in my book#no one is better than anyone else for a fact they cannot change or control‚ including species

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell
#yes i read 'carry on' by rainbow rowell in middle school what else could you have possibly expected from me. anyway she gives me simon snow#vibes and not in a good way and she's even blonde while her british vampire boyfriend has dark dark hair and just. you will never be basil.#also i hate to be that guy but the writing has made me physically recoil and the acting almost reads as silly but mostly as middling :/ and#i wanted and expected more from matthew goode bc i really liked him in downton but i guess this is a 2018 bbc modern vampire fantasty serie#like i guess.#also there's SO much shit about bloodlines and maybe i'm gay with a blood disorder amd a family history of adoption but like. who fucking#careeessssssssss it ahould not be that serious. why is it that serious.#also the fantasy racism kind of reads like it's mesnt to be? homophobic adjacent? like there's a Lot of 'love who you love' talk going on#for the single most bland heterosexual relationship i've ever seen on a screen like there is so little chemistry? so little#anyway it's called 'a discovery of witches' and i'd recommend not watching it 🫶 or if you do then watch it on 1.5x speed#it's been decent background noise for knitting bc i kinda sorta care about the plot but if miss a chunk bc i'm in the lace chart zone i do#not care and i do not have to go back to catch it bc the writing is so transparent#there was another series it stole from that's escaping me atm but when i noticed it pissed me off a touch. hmm maybe it will come back to m#a post#do not watch this show#I REMEMBERED they wanted the juliette holding diana captive moment to be joaquin's 'i want to watch you fuck her' from sense8 SOOOOO BAD bu#it WASN'T bc they were too afraid to lean into anything that would make juliette interesting at all. for being all about the world's most#special blonde woman this show does not seem to like women very much. sad! well there's other shows#OH ALSO ALSO there are 3 magical 'creature' species which are witch + vampire + femon except the demons don't seem? to have any magical#abilities that humans don't have besides sensing the species of other creatures? like witches can cast spells and vampires do their various#vampire things but demons have nothing going for them except disproportionately high rates of homelessness and suicide?? like girl what are#we doingggggggg what are we doing here !! what's their deal why does no one care !! can they do anything or no !! god this show sucks

being ace means i don't get giggly or horny about omegaverse aka abo but instead become painfully obsessed with details in anatomy and world building
#for one the whole abo dynamic thing in wolves is false#for another the animal kingdom is SO wild#like. female hyenas have pseudopenises and dominate males#seahorses and male birth#eating your children to avoid them being eaten by predators#males killing children to free females to mate#community child rearing!#females doing the hunting!#CLOWNFISH#omegaverse#abo#imagine if your secondary gender is determined by the social dynamics of where you grew into it#mostly female/child bearing? guess you get a penis now#do you think all alphas have piss kinks cuz of territory marking shit#anglerfish...octopodes that hand off their sperm sacks to females...#i know a strange amount of stuff about animal sexuality i just realized this#did you know some species dont have periods? they just reabsorb the uterine lining which is fucking amazing and im very mad humans dont#do that too#on the other hand. ive seen abo aus where male omegas give birth by LOSING ALL THEIR TEETH and VOMITING AN EGG#my main complaint is that abo doesnt get weird enough (plz not losing teeth and egg vomiting weird tho)#also can we PLEASE think a little more on the 'birthing from the ass' thing? please?#listen you have a right to mpreg (and trans men exist) but like. PLEASE. that baby should NOT be born thru the poop chute#ik some animals feed their babies poop (and human anatomy is like half an inch away from the birth canal being the poo canal) but COME ON#also why are all the scents like. very specific objects/concepts#flowers and idk blood?#frankly i think they would just be. animal smells but with enhanced human noses they'd be easily distinguishable#my headcanon is that they act like peacock tails do. meant to show off how cool you are#the biting thing happens in sharks (tho i think its cuz theyre kinda silly like that) but it just reminds me of people tattooing bite marks#and not cleaning the wound or yknow actually biting their partner in the tattoo parlor?#i get it. i'd love to be consumed by the void and a non recommendable amount of teeth. but can you be more sensible about it

i love the idea that jack is a nerd about space, why? because im a nerd about space and also that man needs hobbies and im saying it's space
#borderlands#handsome jack#trying to find hobbie hcs for him is so hard so im tossing my own in there#jack loves space!!! he loves aliens and the endless horror of the universe and space travel and has gotten emotional about the pillars#100% used to watch those “real alien sighting caught on tape (not clickbait)” grainy videos when he was a kid and get himself scared#like yes hyperion is a Gun Manufacturer i guess but also i love his interest in R&D and his knowledge of the vaults and-#-his love of the destroyer and just how invested he was in pandora#like he is a NERD and hes a nerd about the universe#plus added on my hc of his main interest in college/hyperion being immortality through technology#learned he wouldn't be around when we heard back from aliens and immediately said “alright that's my life goal now”#he'd get his hands on a guardian corpse or have one trapped in R&D and would just spend hours watching it- studying it#so in awe of something bigger then him he gets emotional over it#i like to think that hyperion has a HUGE budget for space travel advancements and universal understanding all because of him#helps that in my au his best friend is a cyborg - his daughter is magic - and his husband is an extinct species - he is living his best life
