alright what are your thoughts on arty [and personally to me she is transfem]

rises from the ashes yes i do! Arty is also one of my favorites and I have SO many thoughts about this woman -- I generally view Raydians as genderless lil guys, so they can essentially be whatever they want at any given point. Considering that she was going to be male before the game officially released, transfem Arty is very real to me <3 I like to think she presents as either fem or gender neutral, but never masc She uses her hair to stim a lot and keeps it in pigtails purely for convenience; I like to think her hair is very long and it gets in her face a lot, which is not very ideal when she's trying not to get arrested she's also incredibly smart!! girlie is canonically an art therapist! She has a tendency to use bigger words since she has a wider vocabulary, but also she is a very understanding and sweet woman She's very empathetic; as much as she tries to anyway kinda harder to do that when you're autistic but yknow speaking of that! yeah i think she's somewhere on the spectrum I think she LOVES to ramble about her art, she takes so much pride in it and wants to tell people about it!! She's also very observant and notices smaller, minute changes in her environment. she keeps track of the buildings, signs, everything around her. it's how she was able to tell Blob that certain districts were one color, or a house was a certain way, it's because she pays attention i think she also uses her paintbrush to stim. she holds it ALL the time and i like to think that if she doesn't have it she gets more antsy and restless because she needs something to grab and hold on to she also uses her hair to stim! easier to grip onto pigtails!

A pair of wild coots built a nest right next to the Amsterdam zoo's African savannah. I'm 1000% sure they'll at some point try to intimidate a giraffe that gets too close to their chicks.

Sketches @ ARTIS Zoo

[one-with-the-tree]

The taxidermy remains of the last quagga. She lived at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam until she died on 12 August 1883. Her mount is very damaged but they did their best to fix her.

Some photos were taken of her while she was alive.

She is currently on display at the Allard Pierson museum in Amsterdam.
