#Fin snake

[kandcake]

Hmm, I think we can start with recent character of my setting if you don't mind!

It's Fin! He's a athro hybrid of a lizard & a snake. He's anxious and diffident reptile...

I had been doing his reference sheet a long time but I think it was worth it!

I hope to tell about him more later!

And how you can see I sign my artworks as "kandcake 𓆉"! I like the nickname more

I had a dream splatoon base updated the band pages.

In this dream, Riot Act had a secret 5th member who was a leafy sea dragon and looked cool, but that wasnt the biggest shock.

The previous pages got updated with new art in a different art style with scenes featuring bands members and Inklings and...

The cast of scooby doo.

Yes. Splatoon was doing a massive scooby doo collab. I remember in this dream was just me going thru the splatoon base website while my splatoon lore discord server was going nuclear over these developments

Things that happened include

-there was new art of riot act hanging out (including the new leafy sea dragon) but in the background there were random civilians that looked plausible for splatoon, and then... two that looked like anthropomorphic birds. me and the chat were freaking out like "DID BIRDS EVOLVE IN SPLATOON LIKE THIS AND EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS A LIE??? OR IS THIS A CHARACTER FROM A SCOOBY DOO MOVIE" and we had to assume the birds were scooby doo characters from some niche source because scrappy doo was also there in the background.

-for some reason, they dropped a height chart of shaggy, velma, fred, and daphne next to an Inkling. The inkling was given slightly different proprortions from how they look in game, and was drawn in the same art style as the rest of the mystery gang. Next to the inkling they had markers denoting the tallest possible height for an inkling, and that tallest height was still a bit shorter than velma. Discord server losing our minds because they used this fuckass collab to canonically confirm that inklings are smaller than humans.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Bright red might not be the go-to color for camouflage, but the reptilian snake eel makes it work! That's because they are a primarily nocturnal species, and red light is absorbed by water, so that anything red actually appears dark or black! This species is an ambush predator, hiding in dug-out burrows till an unlucky fish swims by.

Done (heavy quotation marks) with monster Ody @evergreen292 ;)

tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.

Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.

Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.

The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.

Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.

Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3

The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)

one thing that i keep waffling back and forth on (because im still thinking about writing out the Symptoms Of A Merfolk Crush (Merfolk Has Crush On You) and its relevant) is the topic of merfolk social grooming, mostly in the form of licking each other

primarily this is because theyre. you know. marine animals. grooming is important to them yes but licking isnt really how its done and wouldnt do as much as it does on land - usually it would occur in the past more of removing sufficiently large enough objects with the hands or mouth and anything smaller usually getting taken care of by rubbing themselves on the sea floor or using found items to rub against, and primarily to dislodge parasites. and ofc nowadays they have the domestic cleaner wrasse colonies that handle it best of all.

theres not really... a reason that licking each other would help in removing anything from their bodies that wouldnt be handled otherwise. but also i really like them licking each other and an impulse to lick the other as a bonding thing is something that's stuck in my head and i cant get it out, so im figuring out other reasons that merfolk would do it

and primarily i think it just has to do with smell/taste again. both senses in merfolk are greatly heightened and sharp, and they already have an urge to try and make those theyre close to smell like themselves. they produce a slime layer over their skin that specially dries on land and helps seal in moisture, so usually when theyre doing that this is what is getting involved, as a vector for other scent-marking and communication proteins and All That. it might also tend to boost the health of merfolk that get marked in this way? as in, if their own slime layer isnt being produced as well or theyre already ill, the protective qualities from a healthy individual's slime layer can be shared with them and give them a little boost, but maybe theres also more complex underlying mechanisms, im not sure

which would also make merfolk licking more of a social grooming thing again, but licking as a contact exercise would also help to spread their own slime layer on the other merfolk, with the additional benefit of this also working on land (and maybe being something more basal to the group than i had been imagining), thus making them smell a little more like the groom-er.

but also because merfolk smell/taste is so important, merfolk also have this... sort of mental pressure to bond by examining and exploring other merfolk's bodies? which sounds weird when i say it like that, but its more comparable to wanting to play with someone you likes hair, or touch their legs and their arms, and otherwise just feel them and enjoying the experience of learning this sensory information about them. and because smell/taste is such a huge aspect of merfolk, this also includes putting other merfolk in their mouth, basically.

which is basically just an extension of playbiting in the first place? merfolk are very mouthy creatures and interact with a lot of their environment using their mouths, basically being a third hand for them. and they like to play with each other and bond with each other and cuddle with each other, so they also have a lot of different types of bites that say different things and have different emotional connotations. they have flirty bites, they have play bites, they have being an annoying pest for fun bites, they have "look at me" bites, they have "i just wanna chew on you without hurting you" bites, they have "i am bored and seeking sensory information" bites, they have "i want you carnally" bites, and they have all the aggressive and threatening bites you can imagine. they have a lot of bites and types of bites and ways of biting each other, its a whole thing.

so broadly i think licking each other would just kinda be an extension of that. a sort of calmer non-bite where they want to groom each other and make them smell like each other but also where theyre just genuinely examining each other and tasting each other as a more platonic attempt to learn about each other. and i feel happy enough with that, that works with me.

Entry 1

Date: 4/23/2024 Approx. Time Frame: 4pm-5:30pm Days since first contact: 7 Locations Visited: 3 - Amile Forest - Tsubu Woods - Rem River Bank Creatures Sighted: - Finfin - Spidasaures - Clippy (Freaky Bird) - Pepperfish - V-Rex (With picture!) - Palm Tree Snake - Essie

Notes and sightings under cut. Notes I deemed important are in pink bold italics.

Amile Forest - Said hello to Finfin - Finfin left

Tsubu Woods - Followed Finfin to Tsubu Woods - Didn't make much noise, but Finfin left. Perhaps he was annoyed with my presence. Or maybe he got bored with my silence (Can he hear in the woods?) - Spidasaures sighting - Clippy (Freaky Bird) sighting 1 - Finfin arrived, but promptly left. I was beginning my written notes, I didn't notice him until I heard his wings flapping. Again, I had made little to no noise, so this wasn't a case of scaring him off - I heard a sound like a single ring followed by a swoop sound. I was tabbed out, and when I opened the window, there was no trace of whatever made the noise. Strange? Was that you? - Pepperfish sighting 1 - V-Rex! I captured a picture. I was waiting for the right moment, right where he was in the middle. Perhaps I waited too long. I'll see when I look at the image when posting.

[As seen above, the picture turned out alright. The vegetation is covering him up a bit, but overall it's about as good as it can be. I was concerned that his eye would be covered up, but it's visible, albeit barely. Something to note is the color of the Tsubu Woods. The woods is usually depicted in blue colors. Is the color of the Tsubu Woods seasonal, or perhaps depend on the time of day?] - A sound like this: gon-gon-gon-nyeeh, gon-gon-gon-nyeeh, gon-gon-gon nyeeeeeeeeeeeh. No visual to accompany it, or at least, none that I saw - Clippy (Freaky Bird) sighting 2 - Finfin arrived and sang a short song - Finfin did flips around the tree branch and flew around the trunk while singing a jaunty tune! - Finfin again did flips and sang - Finfin flew very close to the screen as Tsubu nuts sprinkled down in the background - Finfin flipped and sung for a third time. He seems very playful today - Finfin was wagging his tail while facing away. Did he poop while I was writing my notes? - The gon-gon-gon-nyeeh noise returned but was immediately followed by Finfin's yawning before the noise properly faded out. How funny! - Finfin is very tired, it seems! He's yawning and murmuring so much... - Finfin left, Tsubu nuts falling in his wake - Palm Tree Snake! I recognized the sound of her slithering long before she appeared on-screen. She looked as lovely as ever - Pepperfish sighting 2

Rem River Bank - I decided to switch to Rem River Bank, my favorite location, while doing some things - Clippy (Freaky Bird) sighting 3. I think I had seen in the encyclopedia that they can appear here, but I had forgotten. What a nice surprise! - I heard some underwater noises, but I didn't notice any visuals - Finfin arrived and began swimming - Some technical issues as my program went to screensaver. Once I was fully back, Finfin was flying - Finfin landed on the rock and began cheeping at me. Can he hear me? I wonder if this game really does differentiate between him in the water and him outside of the water in terms of him being able to respond to microphone activity. It either does that or microphone activity just doesn't work when he's in Rem River Bank at all, I'm sure - It seems Finfin had left at some point. I'm sad I didn't notice. I swear I don't ignore you on purpose, Finfin! - Clippy (Freaky Bird) sighting 4 - Essie! She's bigger than I thought she was, judging by the one head I was able to see on the side of the screen - Dinnertime for me. I concluded by Teo-watching for the time being
