#Biopunk

[heron-knight]

why is biopunk only ever used as horror? Where���s the biopunk equivalent of cyberpunk edgerunners? Give me a Sci fi setting with dungeon meshi style chimeric modifications as a primary worldbuilding mechanic.

extra arms, giant monster body from the waist down… go to a sketchy grafting parlor and get some budget bioelectricity organs that give you Lichtenberg burns every time you use them. Give me a character that wears a mask for half the story and then reveals that they’ve got three rows of teeth, six tongues, and heavily paralytic saliva.

I don’t know, maybe Tumblr User Heron Knight Georg, who repeatedly fantasizes about molting like a cicada, gets gender envy from bloodborne bosses, and thinks that the Bone Turner’s Tale would be the perfect summer read, is an outlier and should not have been counted, but I know what website I’m on. I know just how gender affirming having six arms or feathers instead of body hair would be for most of the people here.

I think there’s some potential here if biopunk is used for more than scorn-level H.R Giger dystopian shenanigans. Give me biopunk 2077.

(Update: just wrote an example of this)

Day 2637: Jimmy has extra energy today, so Tango brings him down to where they're keeping the animals. Left to their own devices for so long, their chickens have multiplied, and the goat was most definitely not there before. It's nice to be surrounded again, though.

It's blue raspberry season

My thrall Saros, he's a giant 14ft tall biopunk lizard demon that can shift form between the said giant lizard and a fucked up monster man with fat tits. Artworks from 2019/2020

Butting heads, per usual. Mag's got a lot of pride, Stranger's got paper thin patience. Regardless, both still have to be semi-professional if they want to stay on the crew.

Day 2781: The ranchers manage to catch the little dog and keep him still long enough to give him a bath and cut out the mouldy mats in his fur. Under all that grime is somehow a rather bright cream - angry - pup.

Disclaimer: This isn't about which is the most 'correct' or 'hopeful' or 'moral' choice. This is about FICTION and is purely about which interests you the most on an aesthetic and/or narrative level. Kill the cop in your head and just pick the subgenre that makes brain go brrrr.

Everyone get ready for Solarpunk Aesthetic Week Four!!

The hosts for this event are @fennopunk, @solarpunkani, and @punkofthesolarvariety! We’ll be reblogging and chatting from those blogs about the event as well, so feel free to drop a follow!

What’s this all about? Solarpunk Aesthetic Week (SAesW) is a biannual week-long celebration of the aesthetics around the Solarpunk genre and movement! As Solarpunks, we look forward to a hopeful future, and this event is meant for all of us to take part in visualizing that future and working towards creating it step by step! So let’s get creative, get our hands dirty, and tell our stories together!

“But it’s winter! There’s less sun in the sky, it’s cold, it’s miserable, what’s Solarpunk about this time of year at all?!”

We firmly believe that solarpunk looks different in different times of year--whereas in spring and summer we might be growing tomatoes and dreaming of greenhouses and sunny communities, in winter we might be doing lots of work--mending up clothes or making new ones, planning future gardens and actions, reading and writing to help visualize the future we want to achieve. Sure, solarpunk is generally associated with the color and warmth of spring and summer, which is all the more reason to truly think about what solarpunk will be like in the wintry months. There’s plenty to do, and you can take part any way you’d like to!

If it’s dark and cold during this wintry time for you, it could be an excellent time to dive into Lunarpunk as well! Lunarpunk is the night side of Solarpunk in a sense, so its a good time to explore this closely related aesthetic.

In addition, consider looking into Polarpunk! It’s a smaller aesthetic, but you’re sure to find plenty of inspiration and wintry vibes to draw inspiration from! If you’re dealing with snow and ice and cold temperatures, Polarpunk very well may be your Solarpunk!

But also, we aren’t forgetting about our friends in the Southern Hemisphere! For you all, it’s summer, and we’re excited to see what you do to celebrate!

Solarpunk Aesthetic Week Four will be taking place on the 51st week of the year, so December 16th - 22nd! Feel free to share anything you do to the tag #solarpunk aesthetic week, or submit it to the blog!
