What flavor is Baggs - idk why but I keep imaging blue razzberry 😋😏😍

Depends where you're licking, I imagine he tastes like bone most places.

Why do you wanna know?

Well anyway this is what my fic described;

Your tongue darted out to gently lick into his mouth, his own tentatively slipping against yours. His magic buzzed like electricity, he tasted heady like lavender musk.

I didn't mention it but I imagine he also tastes like coffee.

[elbiotipo]

How should nekomimi be inherited to not look weird?

I think that if they are simply humans with certain animalistic traits then it can be done like irl phenotypes, basically "some mixed kids inherit them, some don't" and leave it here, so there can be a community of mostly cat people with some individuals with fully human features to not make it look weird (and vice-versa, some nekomimi people amongst "normal" humans who don't belong to any of the cultures of cat people).

But what about some more complicated feline features like vision or dietary needs and such?

And even more importantly, is my idea of how to do nekomimi genetics in a fantasy setting not weird in itself?

It's NOT weird. The only thing better than catgirls are catgirls who fit in the worldbuilding.

Now, if you want a technobabble excuse, you could always use homeobox genes that you could say develop different kinds of ears, tails (biologist note: this is NOT exactly how homeobox genes work, but they do kinda work as an technobabble excuse) inside a wider, let's say, "humanoid" species or genus. These could be inherited as diverse alleles of such traits (for example, the 'ears' gene could have cat-like, dog-like, human-like, etc. alelles) and also have mendelian or non-mendelian distributions. Suppose you want to make a fantasy mendelian system, you could say "cat ears are recessive, human ears are dominant" (note: "recessive" and "dominant" don't mean "worse" and "better" it just means than an allele is "hidden" or deactivated by the dominant one. Sorry if I make a mistake, I learned all this in Spanish) and figure out inheritance from there, just traits that are cleanly inherited in regular proportions. This is not how most genetics work, however. There's multiple kinds of non-mendelian inheritance... multiple alleles, codominance, sex-linked inheritance, and of course quantitative genetics which is when alleles don't manifest in a single discrete trait but rather a continous measurable one (such as height)... now I feel I'm doing my genetics course again, but I'm sure you can tell how such things can work if you read an intro text about it.

There's a bunch of caveats here, and I'm gonna speak very broadly here. In humans, there aren't single, well defined genes that codify appearance for, for example, hair texture and color, skin/eye color, etc. in the sense that there's a "blue eye gene" or "curly hair gene". In fact this is the case for most genes, most are multi-allelic or quantitative with different 'weights' for a continous trait. Or BOTH. People tend to inherit different genetic 'weights' (very unscientific term here, sorry) from one parent or another and this can be very random, with some expressing different traits even if having the same family (this is why you see people who resemble almost perfectly to one parent instead of a "mix" of both, and of course those who indeed look like a mix of both. And these in turn have nothing to do with genetic diseases, blood types, or other inheritable things) There are hundreds of genes involved in each trait of human appearance and they all interact with each other, and most aren't even known, we don't fully know the genes that regulate skin, hair or eye color, just to give a few examples. So it's almost never stuff like "dominant purple flower, recessive white flower", Mendel was VERY lucky and smart to pick out discrete alleles to find out his laws. Most traits aren't like that at all, especially in animals.

Which brings me to my next point. It's very unlikely mendelian inheritance of traits such as ears or tails would have evolved naturally in animals. The development of characteristics such as ears or tails is deep, deep in the early embryo development, a very fragile period for animals. A species that has such huge genetic variations in such key periods of development faces severe selective pressure and it's unlikely these extreme "alleles" would remain, errors on them would cause extreme malformations or just embryos not developing at all. Even humans have this trouble, the loss of tails in apes, for example, has let us to suffer from spina bifida, every body plan change has a huge cost and this is why animals are sometimes very conservative with it, most body plans are the modification of existing features rather than the apperance or removal of different ones, and this is at evolutionary scales, not even living populations. Of course, some animals are more, let's say, plastic, like dogs, but even they have a general body plan, there aren't dogs without ears or tails, for instance. Even dogs are the consequence of tens of thousands of very intensive artificial selection which did not happen naturally at all, I mean, it's not like poodles or daschunds have any sexual or natural selection advantage for themselves, they are adventageous for us. You can see that wild and feral dogs, without the pressure of human artificial selection tend to converge into a more general dog plan (the so called "pariah dog", but also see dingos, and of course wolves, I'm skipping a lot of stuff here), adapted to local climates.

Surprisingly, I can see diet being less problematic in this sense. After all, we know there are for example human populations adapted to lactose. Dogs have also evolved enzymes to digest carbohydrates which wolves don't have, while not as nutritious as their carnivorous diet it works better with our human diet. Different bacterial flora can also help digest things that are surprising though, such as cellulose (though bacterial flora is still an underrated and ongoing field of study) It's also much easier to imagine changes in dentition than the whole head plan. So I can easily imagine different populations adapting to different diets. Same with eyes, I mean, daltonic and colorblind human population exists, the EYE is mostly the same, but it works differently. But again, the body plan remains the same. Humans or dogs might have different aptitudes for diets, but they don't stop being omnivores or carnivores.

Of course, tis' fantasy. So why expect things to follow natural evolution? Hell, why even expect fantasy people in a pre-industrial setting to know about homeobox genes? Depending on your setting, it might be that these traits are stable and inheritable because of a magical curse/blessing, or that the gods or the inherent magic of the world said so. However, if you have a species that has multiple, very different appearances and those are inheritable, you're dealing with some rather heavy stuff here that redefines your concept of humanity. In Dungeon Meshi, for instance, they talk about this, as the typical "elf, dwarf, halfling, human" fantasy races all can and do have children with each other, and (spoilers!) they seem to have a common origin, and thus all are actually called "humanity" which is a very interesting concept, because, indeed, what else are they if they don't actually have any real biological barriers. Meanwhile, the differences with other more "distant" species? races? such as orcs and kobolds (canine-like) are shown as rather arbitrary and depending on the culture, in fact, even humans (or rather "tallmen") get excluded from "humanity" in some cases. (not even tackling the whole long-short lived races thing). Similarily, you could say these "nekomimi" are just humans with a particular blessing or curse (again, in Dungeon Meshi, there is Izutsumi), but that works on the particular designs of your fantasy world and magic system... and let's say that when such concepts have appeared in real life, well... I don't need to tell you these are rather heavy and controversial topics to tackle. I don't think you should shy away from portraying them, but again, it's something to think about very carefully.

Since this is a heavy topic, I'm gonna take you out of fantasy for a sci-fi perspective. In my biopunk setting (it's on the tag "soft biopunk" on my blog) there are kemonomimi people all around, and in fact, all sort of genetic cosmetics, in fact, one of the main characters is indeed a communist catgirl. Most of it, however, is made in adults, much like getting tattoos or piercings. Tegument (i.e, skin) in humans and most vertebrates is surprisingly plastic, and one can 'grow' ears and implant them, or estimulate the production of feather or scale genes in the skin. Meanwhile, things such as tails have a little more involved surgery, since you also need to take into account nerves, muscles, circulation, etc. Meanwhile stuff such as muzzles and others require very extensive surgery, so it isn't as common. So these are implants (non inheritable) rather than expression from embryos, what geneticists would say germline modification. Such things also occurs but is done way more carefully and is more extensive, and it's nothing you would do just for the sake of cosmetics, when you're doing that, you're basically starting a new branch of humanity with all that implies. On the other hand, sentient "uplift" cats, dogs, and many other animals do exist, but they aren't animals that act like humans, they are sentient animals with a way of thinking and behavior very different to us, you aren't talking to a "cat with human intelligence", you're talking to an intelligent cat (when they want to talk, anyways). So, you can't REALLY turn a Felis catus into a catgirl, but a Homo sapiens can do a rather passable one.

Well, this has been a lot of fun to write and think about, so I hope you enjoyed it, and sorry for the walls of text! I promise to make a better post with some better illustrations of hot catgirls. In any case, if you found this useful, I would be very grateful if you gave me a tip! Given our economic situation here with Milei (the guy who cloned his dog, how appropiate), anything helps!

Feel free to ask anything you'd like!

X-Files Collector’s Edition: Canonical-Esque Crack Fic {Edited}

Crack fic isn’t a seek-and-find for me; but these, Dear Reader, are so well-written that an angel descended to place a holy smooch on my forehead-- platonically, of course. (And they at least make more sense than anything canonical that Cracked-Crust Carter wrote recently.) 

Loose chronological order below~ 

@poolsidescientist​‘s (Ao3) Overshadowed   

““I don’t even know why you wanted me to read it. You said you found it in the trash. Maybe it was there for a reason.”

“What makes you say that?” It was more of an accusation than a question.

“You mean, other than the fact that it’s terrible? Reading it was a waste of my time.” Skinner organised his papers and stuffed them in his briefcase. “It was the second worst thing I’ve read this week.””

S1-2 CSM wants someone to read his book... and tricks Skinner into doing so. And immediately regrets it. 

@viceversawrites’s (Ao3) Mulder eating a whole pie

““Conversely, Scully is still wide-eyed. “A whole pie? Mulder, I’m not sharing, and we can’t take it with us on the plane in the morning.”

“Who said I was going to share?” Mulder asked, a genuine tone of confusion in his voice.””

Post Jose Chung From Outer Space-- Scully is horrified to witness Mulder eating a whole pie in person, but doesn’t know what appalls her more: this hidden talent, or his complete nonchalance about it.

Stephanie Lutz’s Mask of the Green Death 

““Skinner took Scully’s arm and pulled her aside.  “I’d keep clear of Romeo if I were you,” he warned her in a low voice, inclining his head to the other side of the table.  “He’s been at the punch already.” 

Scully followed his gaze to where Agent Pendrell stood swaying slightly, in a poet’s shirt, and very tight tights.... Obviously spotting her, Pendrell’s already bright eyes widened, and he waved vigorously.””

It’s a S3-4 Halloween party at the Skinners; and Scully has to avoid the shenanigans of not only her partner, but also the besotted poet Pendrell.  Meanwhile, CSM roasts Mulder over his outfit. Even the aliens have thoughts. 

bellefleur’s Iced  

““Mulder took a deep breath and stepped back from the curtain, going over the routine in his head.  He had spent the day receiving a private lesson from the choreographer, topped off by a dress rehearsal with the entire cast less than an hour before curtain.  They had simplified the routine for his sake, but he hoped he wouldn't blow it.  If that wasn't complicated enough, he also had to keep watch for anything suspicious, since any of the skaters or backstage workers could be their suspect.   

They just didn't pay him enough for this job.””

Post Detour Mulder must relive his Ice Capades trauma in an ice-skating Big Bird disguise. Scully is fooled into believing she has escaped unscathed. 

Loved this one so much it deserved a badly drawn sketch: 

Is There A Doctor In the House

““Curious about the persistent clicking, Scully quietly approached until she could catch a glimpse of his screen. 

"Hard at work, I see?" 

"Scully!"  He closed the solitaire game, but not soon enough to escape her view.  "What are you doing home so early?”"

IWTB Mulder spends his time in isolation productively avoiding his Ph. D.’s thesis paper, gridlocking himself out of re-certification. Scully finally brings the hammer down. 

Pattie’s

Youthful Distraction  

““The smile on her face faded quickly when she turned to see someone sitting behind Mulder's desk. He wore a sweatshirt, loose jeans, and he appeared to be a teen-aged boy.

"May I help you? This is a private office."

"Good," the young man said. "Let's keep it that way. Before you say anything else, just close the door and I can explain. I think." Mulder knew it was going to be a rough time.””

S5 CSM creates a clone to trick Mulder into using de-aging cream, turning him into a teenage. Scully saves him, as usual, and the X-Files are not lost due to this recent doubt of stupidity.

X-Net

““Yes. Uh... Jack. You sound like you grew up here. There's no difficulty with your English."

"Second generation Earth," he said. He sipped his coffee, as the others nodded knowingly. "I was born in Mississippi. Even tried out for Jeopardy once, but... well, you can see why I was turned down."

"Yes," was all I could manage to say. I couldn't imagine America exposed to the sight of a grey on a game show, but perhaps there would be a time when we would overcome that and be more egalitarian.”"

S7 Skinner shocks both his agents with their new assignment: investigate an alien slavery farm. They have surprisingly good English; but the whole situation is so chill and bizarre that Scully ends up creating elaborate conspiracies to justify it while Mulder accepts the facts for what they are.

See Fox Run

““See Fox run. See Fox run after villain.  See Fox lose gun.

Here is Dana.  See Dana run.  See Dana run in big girl shoes.

See Walter.  See Walter sit at his desk. See Dana and Fox sit in frontof Walter's desk. Walter has a big desk.””

Dick-and-Jane-esque narration of Mulder and Scully’s daily activities.  

Thalia D’Muse’s I Lay a Rose Upon Your Grave

““I...I'm sorry it's taken me so long to visit you. I should have been here sooner, but...well, you know how life has a tendency to overwhelm you. You more than anyone know what it's like to live a life against the odds, always wondering what's around the next corner. You had such courage in the face of adversity. I admire you for that.””  

S5 Mulder eulogizes Elvis’s memory for Valentine’s Day. And Scully’s over it.

This is giving me “DD and Gary Shandling's man-crush comedic bit” vibes.

Ten’s (Gossamer) Taco Bell Tails  

““It also looked incredibly dumb. Garfield's Odie brought to life. Queequeg had been an overgrown powderpuff with a tongue, but this one looked like it had been put together all wrong. For one thing, the head seemed very narrow, not allowing for much of a brain. 

Mulder saw that Scully was watching him carefully, so was glad he had kept his opinions to himself. He said, "I won't keep you." Then he remembered. "Oh, since you've got what looks like the live Taco Bell dog, you might like these miniature ones. Here." He slid the talking toys out of the bag, onto the sofa.””

S5 Scully has another dog-- a weird chihuahua-- and Mulder accidentally sets off his feral, protective side over some puppy plushes. 

Girlie_girl7′s 

Of Two Minds

““Scully slides off the bed.  "I'm not Mulder!  You're Mulder and you're here because you've sustained a concussion in the line of duty," then she shakes her head, "and you don't remember any of this do you?"

Mulder stares at his partner.  "Are you the nurse? Because if you are it's highly inappropriate for you to be sitting on my bed.”"

Post The Ghosts That Stole Christmas-- Mulder wakes from a knock on the head with SCULLY’s memories. Scully’s further thrown for a loop by Skinner mildly blaming HER for not just dating already; Maggie swooping in and “adopting” Mulder, and TLG sneering at Mulder’s sneers of their beliefs and conspiracies.

The Love Bug

““Strap do you personally know any of the people that were affected by this love bug."

"Well sir, there's Granville Banger fer one."

Mulder looks surprised.  "He was affected?"

"I guess so.  Ol' Gran never had any inclination to get hitched and then 'bout three years a go this month he met Elsie and fell in love."

Mulder scrunches up his face.  "She wasn't a cow was she?"

"No sir.  She was a big woman but I wouldn't call her no cow."

Post Brand X-- A farmer and his cow, a woman with a James Dean shrine, bunk beds, and limestone highs make for a really trippy case. 

Cornerofmadness‘s 

The Simple Truth  

““Mulder, we can not tell this to Skinner.” Scully watched the blob floating out to sea.

“Why not?” He flopped down in the sand, also studying the waves and the thing moving out against their relentless search for the shore. It looked silly with him in a suit and tie. His camera dangled loosely from its wrist strap. “It's the truth.”

Scully sighed, pinching her nose. “There's the truth, and there's this.”

Post Agua Mala Scully whines about having to tell Skinner that their latest case involved a 15 ft. penguin terrorizing the Floridian coast. Mulder sticks to his principles and reminds Scully of their office poster.   

Of Webs and Flames  

““The heat of the blaze warmed Mulder, and he needed it after being in the forest for so many hours. Of course, much of his chill wasn’t from the early spring evening but rather the fact that the forest had crawled with spiders the size of deer. It had looked like the Mirkwood in there. Next to him Scully leaned on their car, her face illuminated by the dancing flames. Her eyes remained huge, fixed on the forest fire.””

A giant forest-fire is not the reason Mulder and Scully are investigating this latest case-- in fact, he might have set it on fire. Giant spiders and all that. But it’s a great backdrop for Mulder to make his move. 

Sarah Ellen Parsons’s My Constant Touchstone Who Makes Me A Whole Person

““It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but I knew that this must be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  I had learned to trust no one, though I still wanted to believe.  But I was tilting at windmills, until you arrived and kept me honest.  Kept me from crucifying myself with my "spooky" behavior, kept me from going off half-cocked with your logic and your devotion to scientific evidence, let me know that I should endeavor to persevere, that my heart will go on.””

Post Amor Fati Mulder likes to embellish “friendship” (and not NOT love) letters to Scully with their best lines, while weaving in some from random movies he’s watched. It’s very him; and isn’t NOT (but not) a confession letter. 

Amy Schatz’s

Take Your Memory With You When You Go

““Scully looked from one side of the room to the other, and then leaned close to him, as if she had a big secret to tell.  Finally, she whispered, "We're not accruing."

She had lost her mind.  Mulder was quite certain of it now.  Something had snapped inside her brain.  Looney Toons weren't just cartoons for her anymore.

"We're not accruing," he repeated, trying to figure out how he would get her to consent to going to a mental hospital.  "Scully, if this is some strange way of getting me to do more of the case reports? or? or your taxes, or something, I think it would be better just to ask me."

But Scully was all business.””

S7 Scully has apparently lost her mind. Mulder is panicking until she points out everything they do has no purpose. After a spiral into their files, they realize not only do they achieve nothing they also repress even more.

Pteropod’s Thirty-four Minutes in the Life of Brain

““Why do you assume I wouldn't just go to the video store on a lonely Friday night and decide to rent it for myself?"

"Is that what happened?"

"Nope."

-- 11:17am --

"Why did you ask?”"

The Life of Brian’s theme song gets stuck in S7 Mulder’s head-- and he shares the ear worm with his on-the-down-low secret girlfriend Scully. It’s all worth it when he gets her to admit she liked the movie. 

Alelou’s (Xanadu) Continuity  

““Doctor:  Not worried that you're carrying an alien baby anymore, then? 

Scully:  Oh well, you know.  Que sera sera.”” 

This is simply a fic lamp shading all the flaws in Per Manum. 

@drbedeliadumaurier/heartsfilthylesson‘s isolated systems (Ao3) 

““Scully,” he says without taking his eyes off his mobile, their pizza cooling on the coffee table. Sometimes she misses his slideshows because they never interrupted dinner. “Look at this.” 

It’s a poorly drawn frog, both human-like and not.... “What’s this?”

The corner of Mulder’s lips curve in one of those I-thought-you’d-never-ask smiles. Scully already regrets it. “It’s a Rare Pepe.”” 

S11 Mulder deadpans about the Pepe Meme conspiracy. Scully’s over it. 

There we go! 

Enjoy!

Has the thought ever occured to you that Kaito might bring his hand up right to his face to pull on his “hat” in his civilian life when he is scheming out of habit? Imagine Hakuba calling him out for it, haha.

Oh, that's funny.

Just like how Shinichi would say "Alele" when he's in normal size.

Kaito'd look so cringe if he does that.

Hilye-i Şerif nedir?

Hilye-i Şerif, Hz. Muhammed'in (s.a.v) fiziki halinin tasvir edilmiş halidir. Rivayetlere göre Peygamberin, ağır bir hastalık geçirdiği dönemde kızının ağlayarak "senin gül yüzünü bir daha nasıl göreceğiz" demesi üzerine Hz. Ali'ye (r.a) yazdırdığı kelimelerden oluşan resimdir. Rasulullah şöyle buyurmuştur:

"Ya Ali Hilyemi yaz ki, vasıflarımı görmek beni görmek gibidir..."

Hilye-i Şerif müslümanlar tarafından çok önemsenir. Hz. Ali’den rivayet edilen, “Hilyemi gören beni görmüş gibidir. Beni gören insan bana muhabbetle bağlanırsa Allah ona cehennemi haram kılar; o kişi kabir azabından emin olur, mahşer günü çıplak olarak haşredilmez” meâlindeki hadis de bu rağbetin sebeplerinden birini teşkil etmiştir.

Hilye-i Şerif duası okunuşu:

“Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Kane ali radiyallahü anhü iza ve safennebiyye sallallahü aleyhi ve selleme gale: lem yekün biddavilil mümmeğidi vela bil gasiril müteredidi ve kane rabaten minel gavmi velem yekün bilcağdilgadadi vela bissebidi kane cagden racilen velem yekün bilmüddahhemi vela bil mükelsemi ve kane fil vechi tedvirun ebyedu müşrabün ed acül ayneyni ehdebü el eşferi celilül müşaşi velketedi ecradü zü mesru betin şesnül keffeyni velgada meyni iza mşa tegallea ke ennema yemşi fi sabebin ve izel tefete mea beyne ketifeyhi hatemünnübvve ti ve hüve hatemünnebiyyine ecvedünnasi keffa ve eşrahuhüm sadran ve esdagunnasi lehceten ve el yenühüm ariketen ve ekra mühüm ışraten men ra ahu bediheten ha behu ve men haledahü marifeten ehabbehu yegulü na ıtühü lem era gablehü vela bagdehu mislehu”

Hilye-i Şerif’i okumadan önce aşağıdaki salavat-ı şerif’in okunması gerekmektedir;

"Allâhümme salli alâ Muhammedin alâ Nuri Muhammed, Allâhümme salli Muhammedin akli Nuri Muhammedin fakülü Allâhümme salli alâ Muhammedin seyyidnâ Muhammedin desduri, Allâhümme salli alâ Muhammedin Duri Muhammedin Duri, Muhammedin cesedi, Muhammedin alâ cesedi. Birahmetike yâ Erhamerrahimin. Ve salamün alel mürselin Velhamdülillâhi Rabbil Âlemin. El Fatiha." şeklinde olmaktadır.

Hilye-i Şerif duası Türkçe anlamı:

Hazret-i Ali (r.a.) Peygamber Efendimiz (sallahu aleyhi ve sellemin) özelliklerini anlatırken şöyle buyurmuştur:

Resulullah (s.a.v.) ne dikkat çekecek kadar uzun nede göze batacak kadar kısa idi. Halkın orta boylusu idi. Saçları ne kıvırcık ne tam düz idi; orta kıvırcıklıkta idi. Tıknaz değildi, yüzü de yuvarlak idi. Rengi kırmızıya çalan bir beyazlıkta idi. Gözlerinin siyahı çok siyahtı. Kirpikleri uzundu. El ve ayakları dolgundu. Yürüdüğünde yokuştan iner gibi hızlıca yürürdü. Bir tarafa döndüğünde vücudu ile dönerdi. İki kürek kemiği arasında peygamberlik mührü vardı. Peygamberlerin sonuncusuydu. İnsanların en cömertti. İnsanların arasında kalbi en rahat olanı idi. Lehçesi en doğru, tabiatı en yumuşak ve insanlar ile muaşereti en ikramlı olanı idi. O'nu ansızın gören ondan korkardı. O'nu tanıyan ise severdi. O'nu anlatmaya çalışan anlatmaktan aciz kalınca; "Ne O'ndan önce nede O'ndan sonra bir benzeri görmedim" derdi. Allah'ım Rahmet Peygamberi ve ümmetin şefaatçisi olan Hazret-i Muhammed'e ve bütün tertemiz âline ve ashabına ve bütün nebilere ve resullere rahmet ve emniyet indir.
