ooo fantasy au Poppy oooo there's so much empty space on this, it's killing me
rambles:
why is there lace? why does she have a neck corset? because she's Gorgeous and I'm the Artist Here. i will always inflict my personal tastes on everyone I draw. pretty bird <3
it's really difficult to put clothes on a bird... stream helped out a bunch with the colors & the leg gear! I imagine that the leather is durable, which is probably the only thing that gets her to traverse less Forgiving terrain. Thornbushes and itchy tallgrass can't hurt her! she's got "boots"! How Does She Secure Them, i hear no one ask. that's what neighbors are for, isn't it? and a skilled beak once she gets the swing of it.
her shawl remains largely the same due to my lack of imagination! i put a lil feather clasp instead of the shawl being tied together to give it a more fantasy-oriented look. i think i succeeded? i like to think so! i imagine that the clasp gives Poppy some stress, though. It's sharp! Ish. it's sharp by her standards!
Poppy's enchanted glasses allow her to "see" injuries and illness, both caused by magical & normal means. this is very helpful in her role as healer, but also extremely stressful - just because she can see issues doesn't mean she automatically knows what they are! to her, a papercut may be misinterpreted by the beginnings of a fatal infection! i like to think that she got tired of needing to hold the glasses in place over her beak and asked if there was a charm to keep them steady. and they confidently had their resident wizard spell them on - oops! the spell was a little too strong! they're now magically superglued on! yeah, those are never coming off.
she also has a magic bag that i imagine was a gift from her family when she left the nest! she'd never directly use it herself - what if she falls in? what if something nasty managed to crawl inside? - but the Neighborhood uses it as collective storage. it can hold a lot! supplies, books, tents, gold, even Julie when she's determined enough!
#'why are her legs broken' Technically! theyre bending the correct way for a bird#i would draw them normally but since this au is uhhhh#mmmm how do i say? theyre Flesh and Bone and Biological Creatures!#so... normal bird legs :]c#its like how everyone gets teeth here! except poppy. cause she's a bird.#and wally. bc home forgot.#but yeah. poppy <3#i like to imagine her trying to make dinner at a campsite#im now Realizing that part of the appeal of fantasy aus for me is the camping#god i miss camping. take me BACK#but also dont oh my god dont make me go back i dont want to be a kid again it was terrible-#scribble salad#wh fantasy au#poppy really can do it all!#she cooks! she heals! she screams loudly and hides during fights!#she helps frank keep careful track of the party's collective Coin!

I need to write/draw C!Dream with hoarding/guarding behaviors because you guys have no idea how bad that fucks up your thinking. It makes you into a wild animal.
Techno jokingly reaching for one of Dream's apples while they're chilling together and Dream slapping his hand and becoming super defensive without even realizing. He's just short of growling at Techno, and just a second ago they were joking together
Him trying to act normal afterwards he's a little hunched over his things. A minute later he slides it all back into his inventory, saying that the mess was bothering him
When Punz and Dream are together then Dream will never leave anything of his on view, even while he cooks he angles himself to hide whatever he doing from Punz. He's not even doing it on purpose
Him guarding his territory. Punz rarely enters the prison because Dream always insists they have meetings elsewhere and always has an excuse of why they don't need to go in the prison rn
Having bunker after bunker filled with every type of item and backups for all those bunkers on top of that.
Tommy digs too deep one day and finds himself on seemingly endless hallways that just lead to storage after storage after storage
#I personally have a hard time telling what makes humans and animals different so its extra bad for me#oh yeah sorry idk if you can tell#this is based of my own habits and triggers#dreblr#c!dream#dreamwastaken#.....RT!dream on his creature form covering RT!Q and growling at anything that comes close#dont kill me- *gets pulled away by a incomprehensibly long cane*#C!Dream having a wheat field so big it looks endless#you could walk and walk and walk until the portal house dissapears and still all render distance can see is field#eventually you'll hit the ocean#or a half eaten away mountain#chance is it wont be there anymore next time you come by#tw hoarding#the dog barks

Another bird thing for my speculative biology project! This one spits fire!! <:
I also made a small diagram of the organ, and explained how it does this :3
#spec bio#original alien species#original species#speculative biology#speculative zoology#xenobiology#creatures#my art#spiffy's sketchbook#I love how the second page turned out#the first page I'm also proud of#but I just think the second one shows the ferocity I'm trying to get at better c:#hope you enjoy! <:#P.S. if you're wondering why it eats clay#that's because if it accidentally swallows any liquid nitroglycerine it will be diluted by the clay#this basically turns it's excrement into dynamite when ignited

What monster do you want to see the dungeon meshi crew cook up?
Hi pal! Sorry I took so long to answer, I wanted to add pictures to my reply and go through my trusty youkai book to see if something besides my first 3 choices caught my attention (in the end I decided that 3 is such a nice number already, let's not be extra) (you will soon see that i failed step one, this post gets very very extra)
That we haven't seen before? Hmm 🤔
Well, I'm pretty happy with what they eat in canon. Post-canon in true "Toshiro my beloved, I would kill and die to learn more about the pandemonium you call home" fashion, I think there's several yōkai that would be interesting to see cooked!
Yosuzume
Bird yōkai that appear in the night and chirp "chi, chi, chi" like a sparrow, and are said to pass in front of people who walk along mountain trails. In some prefectures it takes the form of a butterfly or a moth. It generally warns travelers of upcoming encounters with mountain dogs or mountain wolves. Often, only one person within a group of travelers can hear them.
Since it's essentially just a bird with supernatural abilities, that's quite an easy hurdle to overcome when it comes to eating, right? Even if it probably WILL give the killers bad luck.
Would be fun to see it as a moth/butterfly though, since THEN we'd get to see the Bug Besties (Falin + Toshiro)'s position on eating bugs.
Ushi-oni
A yōkai from the folklore of western Japan. They usually have an ox's head with sharp upward-curving horns, wicked fangs and a slender tongue, and an oni's torso. Other ushi-oni have a reverse appearance, with an oni's head and an ox's body. Their body is also commonly depicted as spider-like with six legs and long singular claws at the end of each appendage.
They may appear wearing human clothing, or flying with the wings of an insect. They spit poison and enjoy killing and eating humans.
Now THAT'S unsettling, isn't it? I like the challenge of eating an arachnid. It's doubly irk-inducing, because it's a very ugly monster, and also what would the meat be like? Beef? Would it be more insect-like?
If your culture doesn't eat both it's going to be challenging. And even if they do, it's such an odd mix, I think only the most adventurous would dare to take this one on, which is very interesting!
Yamabiko
An echo-spirit depicted as a small goat-like humanoid in a sitting position.
Yamabiko will echo any sound created by humans. They're rare to encounter and even rarer to engage. If someone tries to touch it, they will feel their hand passing through a viscous liquid. If you talk to Yamabiko, it will repeat what the person said before responding. For example: "What is your name?" "What is my name? My name is Yamabiko"
Now on to the other side of unsettling, this little dude is not only not what it appears (viscous? really?? how do you cook that! soup time?) it TALKS.
I know I'm leaning hard on the taboo side of monster eating, but, I mean, would you eat an animal that talks back? Many people think that eating parrots and crows is evil for that very reason, but are they that different from a chicken? Idk! It's interesting to me.
Also!!! I've made this joke before but I low-key really do think that eating the flying hag would fix Toshiro lol
"Mar, It's made of magic and paper" idc eat your trauma to assert your dominance Toshiro do it for me, beloved. High in fiber too, essentially a health food!
Since we're on the topic, I think it'd be very fun if this... Yknow, monster eating business was seen from the perspective of Toshiro + Falin + Namari + Kiki + Kaká + probably someone else though I haven't figured out who. Tade would be cute since I think Toshiro would benefit from being closer to her, enough that he can talk openly to her about... spoilers?
The plot could be that as she's about to go on her Journey Around The World, Falin asks Namari if she wants to tag along to visit Toshiro, since the two of them got along so well in the party.
I imagine Namari would not only have an interest in going to Wa and learning what their weapons are like (Wa is after all inspired in Japan, who is renowned for their swordsmithing & polishing tradition. Maybe they could reference the 10 legendary katana legend too?), she'd be excited to see Toshiro again.
Kind of want Kaka and Kiki to tag along, since they have such a cute dynamic and I quite liked how they were used for exposition. Besides! KikiMari crumbs. Wouldn't it be sweet if Mr. and Ms. Tansu encouraged them to tag along so they can broaden their horizons?
I also kind of want to see them interact with Toshiro? Toshiro and Kaka are probably too similar to be too talkative, but it'd also provide an opportunity for the theme of kinship (prevalent in Toshiro's story) and also just. situational humour around two guys who are reserved. Not many mangakas can pull it off, but Ryoko Kui is definitely one of the few.
And with Kiki, idk I see something there! She has the type of personality that's a good balance of polite and cheeky. And Toshiro's so easy to tease lol. I think they'd have a fun friendship. Also tbh there's my 'toshiro and namari are each other wingmans, its not very good but its what they've got' agenda.
Showing everyone around would be a good opportunity for Toshiro to leave his household and do a little soul-finding himself, too.
Finally, I'm kinda super into the idea of their adventures actually being narrated by Laios, who's reading to Kabru and Marceille and others but mainly them the letters he's receiving from Falin, Toshiro and Namari.
Oh btw, if they're eating yokai it's absolutely because of Falin lol. She gets her way every time, somehow.
#SO LONG.... ITS JUST. I HAVE THIS VISION and this is my blog where I get to be deranged and you gave me suchhh a good opening omg. ty. ilu#ask#rambles#how do i pitch this to Ryoko Kui. help.#Falin Touden#Namari#namari of kahka brud#Kiki Floke#Kaka Floke#KikiMari#only tangential but omg..... we could have so much fun with that#Kiki watching Namari indulge in her weapons hyperfixation. all '' yep thats enrichment to her'#Toshiro making another guy friend and Kaka making another tall-man friend. wah.#Toshiro Nakamoto#Nakamoto Toshiro#Shuro#I'm sorry toshiro nation it is me once again with my hyper-specific visions#bug besties#I feel like they need another magic user in the party even if they aren't actually going into dungeons. dunno who'd be good though :-/c#creatures#Youkai#dunmesh rambles#Dungeon Workwives

I learnt that some people design themselves an Artfight sona based on the theme of their team, and there's no way in the world I would ever pass the opportunity to draw Nugget as a sea monkey
Featuring Ongaku's very own Seafoam-sona
#artfight#artfight sona#team seafoam#creature design#anthro#furry#artists on tumblr#my art#aquatic#sea creature#cartoon artstyle#nugget#ive been hesitating to do it for the previous years' themes even though i didn't get to participate#but i remember back in 2018 i would Squidward-Window-Meme at my friends who were participating and think “i wouldve picked this or that”#(even though you couldn't c h o o s e back then but)#so it would be very illegitimate but i need my inner teenage self to heal

Had a weird Hollow Knight-related dream a couple days ago, so I decided to draw a major scene I remembered from it dgsgshf
More context will be in the tags, for those interested!
#hollow knight#little ghost#hk ghost#the knight#hk hornet#hornet#alright. as of writing these tags it's been a week since the original dream so! let's see what i remember dgsgsgf#i was playing a game. which was a sequel to hollow knight ((Not silksong though))#there was some new sort of divine infection in hallownest and hornet had asked ghost to investigate it. they ended the last one after all!#the red glowy spike gate thingy is what you jumped into to enter the 'infected' areas#though it actually led directly to a hub world type of place. which was kinda like an expanded base for the grimm troupe?#more like an entire lair instead of a camp. also some greek gods were there for some reason lmao. they had their own special rooms too#so sidenote but- new headcanon that there are grimm troupe members named ares athena artemis &... venus lmao. not aphrodite for some reason#also monomon was there?? i think??? except she was cooking????? she had a sidequest to deliver something to someone though i dunno hdgfhdgh#i remember going back to the grimm troupe lair a couple times throughout my 'playthrough'#anyway. the 'infection' this time around was more of a glitchy physical corruption thing? rather than a mind corruption.#though there were still aggressive enemies to fight. but i remember getting a map from cornifer early on and he was. probably infected#i think part of his body was covered in electricity or something? so he wasn't fully visible? but he was still acting normally#there was also a moth who was the seer but then later wasn't the seer (but was still the same moth) dghgdhf. i delivered stuff to her#that glowing white wall thing in the drawing was like a one-way gate. you could only cross it from the other side and ghost came from there#i guess things looped back up somehow i dunno ghdgfhgf#anyway. ghost's red eyes. those are significant! those happened while i was walking through a corridor. it had pools of shallow water#(shallow enough to just walk through) and also creatures that were lightseeds but red.the implication was that they were full of Blood lmao#and as i went along killing them--as one does--as i walked through the hall. they started turning the water red too#there was also narration about this as it was happening ashdgsf. specifically the narrator said the water turned red before it actually did#ghost's eyes slowly turned red too. but aside from that they were fine! since. they're the player character and the player is perfectly fin#BUT. when they encountered hornet again. she thought they were infected. and that she lost the only family she had left </3#she didn't attack though. instead she just jumped into the red spike gate without a word. decided to try to fix everything herself#but eventually you'd encounter her again down below and she'd fight you. didn't actually get to that in the dream though#aand i'm out of tags </3 i wanted to talk about what i'd do to make this make more sense as an au or something now that i'm awake but. :c

Bill/Fleur/Lavender
is this anything??
Lavender surviving the attack and not becoming a werewolf because that night was not a full moon but now not only is she scarred which she absolutely hates
but has to deal with all the extra emotional issues and weird changes to her body that she wasn't expecting
the random bouts of anger
the stronger sense of smell
whatever else that you think are fun side effects those are like the main two I've explored before
point is!
Everything sucks!
But while in the hospital Fleur ends up visiting her and getting attached because of the similar situation to Bill and ends up taking the poor girl under her wing and getting very very attached very fast
Like Bill looks at Fleur looking at Lavender once and is just knows what she's after and just gives in without question
like that very night is talking to Fleur like
"Alright what is the plan here?"
"We invite her to live with us at the cottage."
"And if she says no?"
"She won't"
And Bill doesn't believe that but also knows by know that he's not going to be able to talk her out of it.
And when Fleur does ask Lavender agrees with very little convincing and then it just escalates from there
the whole time Lavender is not even considering they Like her but falling for them regardless and suffering
While Fleur is already head over heels and acting it
And Bill's over here falling a lot more slowly through the similar situation
#Lavender Brown/Fleur Delacour/Bill Weasley#fleur delacour#lavender brown#bill weasley#william weasley#Bill's not beating the cradle robber allegations so fuck it lets give him someone even younger c:#im positive this has been done before I haven't looked yet but it it hasn't im going to be shocked and disappointed#I like the idea that Veela(part or full) fall in love very fast and intensely and that its some how connected to their magic and instinct#And like they just will not be interested in someone who can't love them#which also plays into self worth issues and questions of free will that's not important but i can imagine it being a bs theory in universe#Veela's should get to be more creature like what's the point of being part creature if you dont play with it#anything to make Veela less then just practically a typical person#a non percy post? who am i#but i think these three would be cute#Lavebleur
