Bark!

By Faenym.

It started off as some light-hearted fun. A silly bark here or there, an expression of raw emotion. Two people speaking over a video call, both have speech bubbles, one saying "woof!" and the other a heart.

Eagerness. A person with glasses barks excitedly.

Frustration. The person is now growling with fists clenched.

Love. Two people hugging one another, one yipping excitedly with a dog tail visible as the other, with a suitcase beside them, grins.

It felt good. There are certain moments when words are not enough. The two people are now on a bus other, leaning against one another as they hold hands. One of which has dog ears, tail and a dog collar. End description.]

COYOTES HATE MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[not-really-all-that-human]

It's really strange being a therian raised in a religion that claimed that humans are higher beings than animals. "Humans have souls and intellectual minds and animals run only on instincts" like okay but what about me. I'm like. Both. It was one of the first things I really questioned about that religion.

GASPS

pls...pls..how do I make this 😓🙏

Hi friends!! I know I haven't been posting as much lately, and that's because I've been working on a project!! That project is finally completed now :}

Dragon scale jumper!!!! 🐉🌱⭐️

please me nice to me I do not know how to pose or style this yet 😔

It looks a little wonky up-close, but I'm very happy with the results!! This was a prototype done with an old grey jumper and a dragon-scale patterned pillow I got on clearance. Now that I sort of know what I'm doing, my goal is to make a green version that fits me better :}

I very much recommend this for all beasties with scales!! It's a really easy project even if you dont have a sewing machine, and it looks great even if you mess up a bit

Some wip shots when I remembered to take them below the cut!

[darkmagenugget]

Hiya! I'm Ashe! One of the main fronters of the DarkMage Nugget System, runner of of this account, and main artist! Fennec kitsune/shapeshifter as well. (She/Her) Welcome to the DarkMage Nugget Tumblr!

Creator of Hyper City (With extra lore from friends and Aqua) where a lot of my friends stories are taking place. You can find my commission info here and are open! I do character art, emotes, and more!

System Intros after the break!

Allow me to introduce the rest of the system.

Iris- (She/Her)

Iris is the host of the system. She has her own blog here ( @iristhedarkwitch - 18+ only). She is the witch of our system, and also the current host. Specializing in transformation spells fictionally, and energy manipulation in practice. One of my girlfriends as well. And Aqua's girlfriend too.

Aqua - (She/They)

Aqua is the writer of our system. Also has a blog of their own over here ( @nuggetofthesea ). She is an elf with (currently) 3 forms. A base, a sea, and a shadow form. She is the one responsible for most of the lore in Hyper City, and is usually the calmest of us and just loves hanging out by vibing in the room. Also girlfriend. Also dating Iris.

Chaos- (She/Her)

Chaos is a gremlin. Is always interested in things that are high-energy and fast paced. She plays games on stream on fridays at 4:00 PM Pacific. She is also the most direct of us (Though speaks a little rough) and able to put things bluntly and deal with scenarios we wouldn't be able to otherwise. She can by hyper, but cares greatly for everyone in the system. Usually spending time with Aria.

Mira - (She/They)

Mira is the organizer of the headspace. A crystal fairy who is able to duplicate herself up to up to 30 of her at once, she manages the entire headspace and the thoughts and memories of system members. Keeping the memory archive as a collective reference for us to go back to. They do tend to be able to handle multitasking better than the rest of us, but tends to stay out of the front unless she is needed (or wants to troll us, because when she enters the front we all see what she sees. All 30 of what she sees at once). She keeps everything organized.

Aria - (She/Her)

Aria is a puppy. She's just a big strong puppy. She is the sweetest person in existence. She can't really communicate well verbally or over text. But can communicate through images, emotes, barking, and through me or Chaos. Would protect anyone physically if needed, but we try to not have that be needed. She is too sweet! If she shows up, give her headpats. She absolutely loves them. ^-^

Nova - (They/It/Fae)

A trickster fae that has found its way into our system. Rarely calls anyone by name, and speaking with a scottish Accent, they are playful and tricky. But likes to fly free. Bound to it's "Little Fox" (me) in terms of willing to listen her, but will chime in at any time it wants. So if I ever speak with a scottish accent, that's Nova.

And just some more examples of my character design work. These aren't part of the system (As far as I know) but are still characters I use often.

I will fight

tooth and nail

with a body that isn’t mine

for the rights to change it.

I’m running through the woods barefoot

rabid and bleeding,

dirty blood dripping down my legs

mixing with the splatters from

arteries of a fascist.

I will change this world by force,

ripping power from oppressors with my teeth

and pulling tendons from their war-stained hands.

I am not contained by you.

I am wild. I am free.

most importantly, i am ANGRY.

and so are the rest of us.

To all the alterhumans / nonhumans who dont know what to do: now is the time for you to start putting your money where your mouth is.

If youre an animal, it's time for you to be a goddamn animal. Be feral, Be aggressive, fight for your life.

If you're a dragon, then be a terror to Kings, and start burning down the halls of power like the dragons of yore.

If you're a mythical creature, have no concern for the social constructs of man. Stand proudly outside what people even believe is possible.

If you're plural, know you're never alone. Fight against individualism that seeks to divide each body into deterministic boxes.

If you're a fictional character who saved the world, believe that you can save any world. Don't back down now.

Now is the time to really believe that you are what you say you are. People in power are going to try to take that away from you. Don't fall for it.

It's time shed any preconceptions you have about what you're capable of. If you're an animal it's time to fight like one. A dragon that uses gasoline and matches is still a dragon.

All bets are off. If they want to treat us like dogs in a cage then im gonna start ripping fascists' throats out like one. And I'd better see y'all there with me, on G-d.

[aviancanine]

I see a lot of posts talking about how some therians or alterhumans feel like humanity robbed them of their true nature and true life, but I really feel like the opposite! I feel like I’ve been robbed of my humanity. It’s not that I want the therianthropy to go away, but it feels like another thing that’s been put upon me, and among other reasons for it a longing for the person I could’ve been. I think that’s a hard thing to grapple with as an alterhuman from trauma.

Just wanted to put a different perspective out there.

[elliott-the-creature]

had some pretty big alien shifts while eloping last night, so we thought we’d sketch out some ideas about a physical form for our alien self

some things to note: (nothing is set in stone, just some ideas to bounce around with)(also this alien type is a shapeshifter, but this form is its most common one)

kinda centaur esque body plan; usually slinks low to the ground

height is around 5’0” (from top of head to feet); length is around 7’5 (from snout to tail tip)

short fur and blubber; fur length/texture is akin to seal or otter fur

able to pick up things with feet, but hands are better at gripping

both hands and feet have 6 digits that mirror eachother (like humans with mirror hand syndrome)

interior digits (highlighted in pink) are better at gripping objects, and are the ones mainly used for day to day use (basically picture only using your pointer, middle finger, and thumb)

exterior digits (highlighted in blue) are mainly used to steady the interior digits when gripping, and cannot solely pick up things. they can only pick up things with their exterior digits when also using the interior digits (like using your whole hand to grab something)

primary eyes are good at judging distance far away, while secondary eyes are good at picking apart detail up close

primary ears are similar in shape to elf ears, and have auditory capabilities better than humans, but not as good at cats

secondary ears are usually flopped down like lop rabbit ears (in fact, their build is similar to that of rabbits), but when alert, their ears will flair up and can swivel to locate sound origins. hearing capabilities are like cats or dogs (aka, very good)

antennae are usually curled up, but unwind and swivel around when attentive or anxious. antennae length is around 1.5 feet

is able to mimic any sounds, but its most common sounds are clicks, whistles, purrs (like cat purrs or trills), and growls

[therian-and-nonhuman-polls]

Therians whose theriotypes are pack animals, do you ever long for other people of the same theriotype to be your 'pack'?

[rareblackcat]

"It's ok to just be human yk?"

You're right! It is ok to be human. Humans are cool and fun. They build great community and when they put there mind to it they really nake the world a better place.

I'm still not one though ;)
