Sorry to my inbox, I know I have messages to respond to, unfortunately my state is currently under water and I have family and friends and neighbors I'm trying to locate and help atm. If you see me on here it's not because I'm here, it's because I'm trying to get five fucking minutes where my head isn't just airraid sirens

Much love to all, we are all just doing our best to survive ❤️💚

if its alright to ask questions about your specbio sophont species, what about the alternate earth allows them to get big, since arthropods’ limiting factor for size is getting oxygen through their body? do they evolve a different circulatory or respiratory system, or does this earth have insane amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere? i adore the way you draw arthropods and i love seeing more specbio!!

I LOVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM!!!!! and you were right with their guess about the atmosphere containing more oxygen!!! I haven't figured out how that would happen yet, maybe just an absolutely ABSURD amount of algae photosynthesising their algae asses off.. I'm not super knowledgeable about that area of Beautiful Planet Earth yet!! if anybody has ideas let me know :3

Current fanfic pet peeve: people who don't understand how breathing works.

Ngl... I once started reading both NATOPS for fun to procrastinate on schoolwork. I didn't finish them, but DAMN was I very much amused on how similar jets can be to cars.... I should also mention that I am a student for automotive sooo

They are definitely similar, not that I really understand cars (but I do understand buses, so I suppose that's similar enough; I used to drive school buses so I had to get a CDL but thank god I didn't have to do maintenance, just know enough to tell the maintenance guy what the issue was because let me tell you buses are a shit show but I digress) (I did get in a fight with the maintenance guy about my fuel injectors once and he ignored me because "you're a girl what do you know" and then my engine failed that was fun but again I digress).

It's amazing how many things can go wrong. I'm rereading the error messages and what they mean and the correct sequence of what to do next and it's just WARNING DO THIS TO NOT DIE over and over again, followed by EJECT ONLY IF NECESSARY BECAUSE YOU COULD ALSO DIE OR PERMANENTLY MAIM YOURSELF just not in those exact words and I just-

I’ve been thinking about vampire anatomy mostly because of smut threads and i am considering her respiratory system operating more or less like a snake’s, with one human lung falling into atrophy, and still able to intake oxygen while feeding. she would require a lot less breathing than a human would in normal circumstances (next to none when dormant), but the demands are increased in heightened physical activity like hunting, or sex. but when she’s not fed well she has to breathe more, as the blood that’s in low supply needs to be kept oxygenated.

As the Final Sif is, this is a pretty exciting development. Is it possible this will be taken in a cynical, abusive direction? Yes, absolutely, that's happened with most of our developments to be honest, but to be perfect honest the only way something can't be mis-used is if it is useless.

If we hold back developments for fear that it will be mis-used we'll never get anywhere.

But just like I think city lights have their own beauty I don't think these are ugly, far from it, they look quite beautiful in a way. Will it replace a tree? No. Even if it handles the oxygen production, there's other things a tree provides.

Plus there's room for multiple aesthetics in the world and the practicality is certainly there.

I want to swim (hates swimming) I want to swim in the ocean (scared of the ocean) (hates swimming) I want to swim in the ocean like a seal-fish-bear thing (don’t have a tail to swim with) (scared of the ocean) (hates swimming)

Edit: I should also mention that I’m sorta scared of being in pools. My anxiety says a shark will come and get me :•(

If vapes are so bad for you how come when I'm bawling my eyes out over a boy, considering reducing my life sentence of living, i take a pull and 30 seconds later its like I was never even crying B)

imma keep it real with you chief: there ain't no such thing as a "low maintenance pet" or a "starter pet". either be willing to fully commit to taking care of your animals or don't own any

Honestly, this could be an interesting fic idea, too. Because blood is a crucial component of closing wounds.. a scab requires blood flow, because the required platelets travel in the blood. And you know what else requires blood flow? Your immune system. White blood cells travel through the bloodstream. Without blood flow, his body cannot fight off bacteria. He's at risk of an infection, at best.

Him being dead also bring up the idea of his body beginning to decompose. Most of the decomposition process won't be a concern, within this short of a timeframe, but it wouldn't be surprising for Dipper to experience some negative effects from being dead for.. maybe an hour or two. For example, a very big part of decomposition is that the human body has bacteria in— this bacteria functions similarly to prison workers. Once it's no longer kept in check by the body, because the body can no longer keep it in check, the bacteria eats away at the body, and multiplies. And there's also a concern about bodily fluids, like the stomach acid! A dead body cannot continue to produce the mucus that prevents the acid from eating at the stomach!

So, even after the possession, Dipper dying, getting an infection, or experiencing other issues in the aftermath is expected! Of course, it depends on the time frame and how quickly things happen, but the point remains that Dipper can probably expect to experience negative side effects. Confusion from hypoxia, stomach issues from unchecked stomach acid, intestinal issues from bacteria, bruising from non-puncturing wounds, maybe even more, depending on the specifics!

I kept thinking about how Mabel said she thought he was dead while being possessed… and it doesn’t take long for blood flow to stop. So I had a thought that none of the injuries caused by bill would truly appear until dipper was back in control. So any fork stabs, bruises, scratches, would only appear when his blood was flowing again.

just a thought
