Cons of being immortal

FUNKY LITTLE BALD CHARACTER POLL ROUND 2, GROUP 2: A MINIBOSS APPEARS!

what's polls, precious? fresh off a disappointing game release, this miniboss is looking to reaffirm his funkiness, littleness and baldness! will one of last round's pointy-eared victors solve his riddle, or will gollum boil 'em, mash 'em and stick 'em in a stew?

[rabbitindisguise]

I really like the worldbuilding in the pocketss comic universe because it makes all different types of creatures complex and multifaceted in a human way, including ones that eat other types of creatures (usually dehumanized in fantasy). They all have their petty squabbles, cultures, and opinions on what a "good idea" means. By their own standards they can have important roles and at the same time be considered worse than others of their race/species/whatever by outsiders for embodying those roles they value (goblins steal clothes, harpies eat goblins, witch v harpy social tensions, etc).

It's like approaching realism in fantasy worldbuilding from the opposite direction of dungeon meshi (modeling off real life ecology) and instead creating fleshing out social rules for creatures that wouldn't ordinarily have what people consider social structures in stereotypical depictions of them

[obligatorycoffee]

Been thinking a bit about my relationship to the term theriomythic (an individual who identifies as a non-earthly creature of a feral or non-sentient nature), which I've been using for a number of years now.

I'm certainly sentient, so that part doesn't really apply, but do I count as feral? I'm animalistic by many measures: strong prey drive, I certainly wouldn't wear clothes or much adornment as a dragon, and given the chance, I would 100% snarf a sandwich straight out of your hands. However, I'm also an intelligent beastie and have the ability to read, write, reason, and plan ahead.

If you're familiar, Rin from pocketss' comics is a good analog for my behavior.

I think I just let my instincts get the better of me on occasion, and enjoy it in the moment. Does that count as feral or just mischievous? Am I an animal or just a little shit? Hm.

The term theriomythic can cover a lot of different identities, I think, given there's a prominent "or" in the definition. I'm not full-on animalistic but I'm definitely not a derg who cooks its food or probably participates much in any sort of society (but is that just a me thing or a byproduct of whatever dragon species I am?), so I feel like theriomythic probably still applies? Anyway, still going to keep using it unless I convince myself otherwise *shrug*

i couldn't help myself, i had to dub this over, it was too fun

original comic by @pocketss

both voices by me :3

[hkayakh]

Ok now that I’m back from termination I’m gonna post some meme templates

This is from the comic about the wizard creature using a wyrm egg for food. I believe the artist of this is Pocketss.

Here is an example

[bishyofskye]

I made a comic, a minifigure recreation of Moss controversy by @pocketss

[ammonitetheseaserpent]

I haev so many OC story ideas I’ve been keeping mute abt. NO MORE I SAY-

Scales and Tails - talked abt this one before; there’s dragons. and these lil guys called fribbles (I named em before I found out the word actually existed AAJABSBAGGAGW) all living in this pocket dimension that’s slowly collapsing. details here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/744352394841817088/hmmm-scales-and-tails-masterpost-3-dragon

Prehysteria (working title) - hmm animated series idea I think abt sometimes. Post-apocalyptic earth with all kinds of sentient prehistoric species. details here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/712600530702172160/uhhh-who-wants-to-hear-about-the-kinda-crude-so

Pre-Sapient Arts - sort of a story ig? Mostly an excuse for me to draw all sorts of Dinosaurs and other critters. An organization (the aforementioned title is their name) is making all sorts of creatures; the main branch is just doing genetically modified dinos, while the hidden branch is doing… something a bit more. Hidden branch creatures here: https://toyhou.se/BumbleDippity/characters/folder:4401336

Jabber From Tabloid Jungle - so basically there’s this jungle that’s like. the main place of magic on earth. It’s inhabited by a pack of magic dogs, a demon, a birdlike spirit, and a… pretty out-of-place mountain in the middle. I’ve been feeling on-again off-again inspired by pocketss and their comics, and I were to ever do a webcomic, I think I’d want it to be this.

Galvin - some guy named Alvin wakes up as a Gallimimus in a town with a superstitious hatred of dinosaurs. He’s joined by his paleo enthusiast niece, who helps him figure out why he’s a dinosaur now. I have…. no idea what I’ll do with this alansbagtatsgsgsc

Turbulence Time - OOOOOO this one’s one of my favorites. it’s abt a torture dungeon that an eldritch being enhances into something a lot more existentially terrifying. and him and the secret society behind it take over the continent it’s on w/ their practices. It’s v dark and gritty and a little bit inspired by MD

Centennial Paradox - my most recent idea hehe. Takes place on a planet called Edoris, which is afflicted by some sort of time curse where every 100 years, something screwy happens, as if the past were changed. The residents catch onto the weirdness, and build robots that can act outside of time, as well as being aware of any changes made to it. I wanna write this as a book someday
