A bit about Arik fur colours and genetics

By default, Ariks have 6 "base" patterns + melanistic and albino variants. They're all seen above. Shades of the fur colours may vary slightly, but only in terms of being brighter, darker, high-contrast or dull. But all of the base patterns will still remain somewhat the same colour. For example, all Colourpoints will be a shade of gray and all Midnight Blues will have varying shades of dark blues.

The only exception is the Tiger Striped Akita pattern, which has also appeared as gray and almost blue before being mixed with other patterns via breeding. These natural gray and blue variants are incredibly rare, but they could explain why Midnight Blue exists.

Midnight blue is quite the interesting pattern. Some Ariks call it "The Mutt" despite it being a base pattern. (A mutt pattern would be anything that has a mixed pool of genes from two patterns, for example Deer and Colourpoint.) Midnight Blue is called a mutt pattern because it looks "ugly" and irregular. All base patterns have a strict rule about how many types of dots and coloured spots will go where. However, Midnight Blue randomises those. It is only considered a base pattern due to it's unusual shade of blue.

Mutt or base, an Arik fur pattern is always divided into different "sections" based on what colour goes where on the body. This is important when looking at how their fur genetics pass on to offspring.

Primary Colour — The base colour of the fur. This colour would cover the Arik entirely if you were to remove all patterns from it. The most dominant colour gene.

Secondary Colour — Most commonly a pattern, such as stripes, dots or splotches.

Tertiary Colour — Most commonly the colour of the stomach and/or cheeks.

Quartary Colour — Very rarely appears, most commonly the colour of the Arik's antennae, as seen on the Banana Split pattern. The most fragile colour gene, can easily "get lost" and won't inherit to the offspring or can be formed when the parents' colours mix.

Ariks usually get one single Arikit at a time. When two Ariks breed, their offspring will gain its fur colour and patterns depending on what the parents look like.

Most commonly the fur colour either switches patterns (As seen above, a Colourpoint pattern with Banana Split colours) or the parents' colours and patterns mix together, creating new mutt patterns. Colours may also mix together to create new shades.

Very rarely the Arikit turns out to be a perfect replica of one of their parents. However, this requires said parent to have a pure base pattern and to be the same sex as the Arikit.

Why are all of my OCs middle-aged men

Anyways,, this guy is Sycamore. Or Looming Sycamore. That's his full name yeah. He has memory issues and basically no proper sense of touch since his antennae have been cut. He was exiled from his tribe but does not remember why.. Also he's tall as fuck, taller than your average Arik

Soul and Spirit

Soul and Spirit

My soul is deep

My core is strong

My body is at rest

My heart is full

My mouth speaks truth

My eyes see wonder

My mind is at peace

My spirit flies

I thank Yeiter for the beautiful images from his recent trip to Utah. Please visit his artwork at Yeiter.

A Spiritual Path

I have always felt like I was on a spiritual path through my music. I always tried to come from a real place of heart and soul, never to sacrifice my lifestyle for my career. But there have been many diversions and deadend roads. Now I have the dregs of a dead tumor in my right eye and its more virulent cousin in my liver. And so spirituality is my new primary goal, daily meditation, daily forgiveness of myself, daily private yoga and a new sense of connection with friends and family. Acceptance of the love and beauty that surround me – and always have! Over the next few Sundays, I will indulge in my thoughts and write as part of my healing path. A spiritual path.

Utah by Yeiter

A couple of months ago, I realized what the difference between Soul and Spirit is for me. A definition that makes sense and is useful in my quest, in my daily thoughts and prayers. Let me put in an aside – part of that quest is to accept the language of my childhood. I can now say I believe in God. He (yeah, he for me) is nothing and everything. He is quantum physics (please read Deepak Chopra’s book Quantum Healing) and the sore knee on my right leg. He is the infinite void and the mosquito in my ear, the DNA in all of us.

Soul and Spirit are part of that language – but I freely give them my own definition. Soul is the root, our hidden connection to the universe, the materials and immaterials that make and unify us all. The body and our senses are in between Soul and Spirit, which itself is the combination of all below. It is who we think we are, who the world thinks we are. It mingles and flies through and around all the world we connect with. It’s the music we make, the love we share, the pain we feel. It changes, it grows.

The poem above is my mantra of sorts. I will vamp on it over the next few weeks.

My Spirit Flies

Sticking with spirit, I offer the first glimpse of my new CD below. A Distant Wind will hopefully be released in early fall, and will carry my spirit afar, with all the deep influences of my ancestors and friends embedded in it. I recorded it in the three days before my first immunotherapy treatment on May 1, 2019. I am proud that this CD features my new 2018 Aaron Green guitar.

CHOICES?" "Do you get overwhelmed or excited by a lot of choices?  Does this same overwhelm or excitement apply to all areas of your life or does it differ?   "Decision Fatigue" is a commonly known term, but what about "Decision Excitement"?  I tend to bounce back and forth between the two extremes, and then time and time again end up finding my grounding in a place that allows for "Intentional Flexibility".   If I try to over control, over schedule, and over analyze I usually get burned out, which is followed up with feelings of failure.  If I don't take the time to have some sense of ownership about how I allocate my time, I feel panicky, overwhelmed, and a bit angry about not getting my needs met.   Typically, I make a gentle plan of ideas/wishes for the week, have a framework of how my time is allocated, but then allow flexibility.  I find paper works well because the exact nature of an online calendar feels to black and white. How do you get things done that you value?

New Uniforms, New Confidence

By: Bryce Shadday

             The Crosspointe Panthers’ Boys Varsity Basketball team gains a new source of confidence thanks to a wardrobe change.

Crosspointe looks to improve their 6-15 record from last year. The team has returned everyone from last year except two starters. The team is mainly made up of freshman and sophomores who were young and inexperienced last year. The boys are more confident this year and one reason is because of new uniforms.

           Crosspointe has had the current uniforms for five years, and Athletic Director and Head Coach Mark Yeiter decided it was time for a change. The old uniforms are based on a simple template provided by Nike. The team decided to stick with Nike for the new uniforms, but Coach Yeiter took a more aggressive approach in designing them this time around.

           The new Crosspointe uniforms are similar to the West Virginia Mountaineers’ uniforms. The word “Crosspointe” will be printed vertically down the side of the shorts, and the Crosspointe Panther logo will be located right under the neckline on the back of the jersey. The colors will stay true to the old uniforms utilizing white and blue as the main colors for the home and away jerseys respectively. The boys are very excited about the new uniforms including their new Nike Kyrie 3 team shoe.

Coach Yeiter did ask players which jersey numbers he should order specifically for each player. Sophomores Ethan Price picked #11 and Clay Miller chose #15. When asked if their jersey numbers meant something, they both responded saying that those numbers were the numbers that were available at the time when they were called up from the Jr. High team two years ago. Miller also added, “I have to stick to that number because it is what I started with.” The numbers did not mean anything to either of the two boys at the time, but the numbers have taken on meaning to them. When they spoke of the what the jersey number meant, it was as if there was some unfinished business to attend to in the form of a state title.

The boys are determined to build off last year and see a major improvement in the win column. And confidence is key for this young tight-knit bunch. Coach Yeiter had some thoughts on the upcoming season saying, “I think that we will close the gap a little bit this year in the conference.” Crosspointe’s conference schedule consists of twelve games, and they finished 5-7 in the conference last year included some major blowout losses. With an older, ambitious players, Crosspointe wants to make a splash this year and take another step toward fulfilling the ultimate goal of winning a state championship.

Roqnee info time

Roqnees are an oviparous sophont that live in the desert and savannah regions of Akari. They live in packs, which are often referred to as cavalcades. The oldest Roqnee of the cavalcade leads the group, and when the leader dies, the next oldest Roqnee takes their place. Roqnees do not settle to live on one spot, instead they travel around the land to escape predators and find food. They set up little camps using tents whenever they need to settle somewhere. Most popular camping grounds are by oases because they have both water and food.

While they are omnivorous from a scientific perspective, Roqnees prefer a more plant-based diet because it's simply more convenient; Roqnees are slow and clumsy runners and the heat of Yeiter's two suns makes it an exhausting task to run.

Roqnees could've been great aquatic or semi-aquatic creatures, but the food at Akari's coastline lured them out of the water early on in their evolution. The spine of a Roqnee is flexible yet sturdy and their lung capacity is very good, meaning they can hold their breath for long periods of time. However, the feet/hands of a Roqnee aren't exactly the greatest for swimming. They cannot create a "scoop" with their fingers like humans sometimes do when they swim, and they don't have webbed feet. Their fingers do not create enough surface area for their swimming to be super quick, and their lung capacity is affected by this; They waste more energy on trying to push themselves forward and therefore can't fold their breath for as long as they potentially could. Their tail's lack of a fin also affects their swimming, but not as dramatically as the structure and size of their feet/hands.

Roqnees have a human-like skin, but it has developed to protect itself from the sun. Roqnees can produce a sort of oil that protects their skin from getting sunburns. The oil contains oxybenzone, along some other chemicals that reflect away UV-light.

Grr. Species for my silly made up planet named Yeiter.

[yeiter]

This is @vapolemon's spec bio blog!!

Welcome to Yeiter!

Yeiter, a small planet somewhere far away.. It's about half the size of Earth, and orbits its two suns twice as fast. Seems to have life on it, too.

Yeiter has two main continents; Akari and Bantar, both of which are homes to many kinds of creatures, including sophonts.

Yet, these sophonts are thousands of years away from being able to travel to the stars. Being only primitive cavemen (or cavealiens!), they have a lot to invent and discover.

To navigate and arrange my posts both for me and you, I will be using tags to make it easier! Here are a few you'll see quite often.

#Yeiter — General tag for this blog

#Akari's Wildlife — Tag focused on Akari

#Bantar's Wildlife — Tag focused on Bantar

#Species Info — Basically just spec bio

#Species Evolution — About evolution

Also, most important species (such as the sophonts) or often reoccurring species will have their own tag.

A bit about @vapolemon themselves;

Hiya!! It's me!! Vapo!! I go by he/she/they, but prefer he/they. My main blog is for my overall art, mainly consisting of OC art and reblogs.

This blog is dedicated to my speculative biology "project" revolving around a planet named Yeiter. I won't post as regularly or frequently here, but I wanted a way to tidily archive my work and to share it to others. :)

Welcome abroad Finnair! Before takeoff, here's a bit about me, I am your pilot after all..

↓ about the pilot (me) ↓

I'm Vapolemon, a young artist who draws furries and silly creatures! I like the scene/scenemo and Frutiger Aero aesthetics. I love creating fictional worlds, characters, species and writing stories. I have a wide range of OCs. I will post art and occasionally animations of them here :3

As you can probably tell from my blog theme, I am a big aviation enthusiast, specifically interested in commercial aviation. Don't be afraid to ask questions about that in my askbox! (Or the cargo hold, as I call it..)

I also like Pokémon. A lot.

I mainly speak english online and my content will be in english. However english is not my native language, so I might make errors.

✯ the services and flight crew AKA my art and characters ✯

I have a variety of different kinds of characters, some for my own, original stories, some are OCs for fandoms. Pretty much majority of my characters are anthropomorphic animals (furries) or feral animals.

� smoking on board? AKA will there be NSFW? �

I will NOT post any straight-up sexual NSFW to avoid getting preyed on by creeps and to not make other people uncomfortable. However, some drawings might be suggestive and I will make sexual jokes sometimes. I might also post gory drawings.

I am fine with people making sexual jokes about my characters, only if the character is over 18. I do not tolerate sexual comments nor jokes about minors or characters that are feral animals.

I will put warnings on posts that contain sensitive/triggering topics like gore/blood, sexual jokes/innuendos or mental health issues. I will add warnings to content with flashing lights/images. If I forget to add a warning, please tell me.

Prayers and Songs for Anger | Frank Wallace

The Roots of Strife

In Coming Out with Cancer I discussed my struggle, my battle, with anger and regret, doubt and dissatisfaction. My cancer issues have been going on for a couple of years now, but my anger issues were somehow born in my childhood, perhaps even before! Are they the root of my cancer or not? Some think it possible, as do I. It’s nice my oncologist says I have simply had very bad luck. So whether true or not, I want to live the rest of my life free of anger and negativity. A major part of my work now is to finally and completely delete it from my memory banks.

I blamed my parents for years and only last week had an incredible guided meditation with Jewel Permut of Peterborough NH. She asked me to tell them how I felt as a little boy. Then she threw me a zinger, a knock down punch, “OK, now your parents are going to tell you their side of the story.” That was magic. I said nothing new, nothing I hadn’t thought of before: they lost their first son at birth; they survived WWII; they had unknown issues with their own parents; my mother had symptoms of abuse; I destroyed them when I moved 3,000 miles from home and lived “in sin” with my girlfriend, I never had a “real” job, etc. But somehow the gift of cancer made this moment the right moment to forgive and understand.

What an experience with Jewel. A fabulous release of held energy and negative emotions. But it would not have been possible without the ground work laid over many years, most importantly the sessions Nancy and I did with therapist and dear friend Meg Zanger over the past two years. Meg has helped us transition in our careers and life to a more peaceful place. All led to the following poem/prayer/meditation. I also share some related music below.

Daily Prayer 2

My anger is a splinter It hurts My body is a healer It swells It surrounds In silence it surrounds In silence it ejects, rejects My body is a healer In silence I heal

A Single Veil

I wrote five spiritual songs in 2001 called A Single Veil that deal with similar issues of anger, fear and sorrow. Duo LiveOak recorded them for their 2004 CD Woman of the Water, Nancy Knowles sings; I accompany on guitar. Listen to the entire cycle at the previous link, the first two are on the track below.

I. Radiance

Don’t try to hide inside anger radiance that cannot be hidden.

by Rumi from The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, translator Harper San Francisco, 1995

  II. A Falling Darkness

If fear is like a rock, Then I am a hammer. If sorrow is a fire, Then I am the sea. When it comes, my heart Increases its strength, Like the moon that shines brighter When the darkness falls.

by Shem Tov Ben Palquera from The Jewish Poets of Spain, 900-1250 David Goldstein, translator Penguin Books, 1965

SO MANY FEELINGS" "About a month ago my son was sick with very swollen glands and some confusing symptoms that ultimately led to a weeks stay in the hospital.  He is fine now and as I've had more time to reflect on the experience, particularly about a weird sense of calm I had throughout the ordeal.  Was it stressful? YES.  Was it exhausting?  YES.  Were there a lot of unknowns?  YES.  So why did I feel calmer than I often do in my day to day life?   This is what I've come up with... 1.  It had a sense of clarity about it, a single purpose of getting well supported by the environmental feedback. 2.  My expectations of myself were lowered from clean the house, get the groceries, work on business, blah blah blah, to just take care of self and son. 3.  I did a very good job of focusing on basic self-care such as water instead of coffee, salad instead of pastry, yoga instead of obsessive thoughts. 4.  There was a newness to the experience that appealed to the part of me that is curious. 5.  I enjoyed interacting with the hospital staff.  Generally speaking, they were kind, intelligent, and very concerned. 6.  My tiny family is good at teamwork when we have a clear focal point. 7.  Massive anxiety I have had about a sick child in the hospital is now dissipated because I have lived through this experience. I guess my point is this,  we label experiences as either good or bad, but most of the time our feelings are more complex, even if we are unaware of it at the time.

More Meditations and Prayers

Breath | the in and the out

As part of my cancer journey, I am meditating every morning and try to get in a couple more sessions through the day. My mind starts out racing with all the things I want to do on this beautiful day, the people I want o talk to, the ideas I have for more writing and blogging. So I compose little sayings, poems, meditations, prayers. Some, like these, are to accompany the in and out breath: My soul is deep / My mind at rest. Or just Soul deep / Mind rest. Chi / Yi. Heart full / Spirit flies. SI / SP (Sacroiliac / Solar plexus). Ribs out / Sternum falls. And here’s my favorite, having just been through a horrible UTI experience of taking 20 minutes to eliminate: Bladder full / Pee.

Here are a few longer meditations and ponders.

Body Scan #1

My soul is deep My mind is free My feet in dirt My head is high My ankles, wrists turn My knees, elbows flex My hips bend My shoulders extend My spine twists My neck reaches Belly is soft Throat open Tongue at rest Chest expands My Heart slows My eyes see infinity.

What is God

God is great. God is good. God is hate and God is flood. God is Buddha, Krishna and Quetzalcoatl. God is Yahweh and Tao. God is fish and fowl. God is You. God is Me. God is god and awful and dead. God is mean, judgmental, and tribal. He is She. He is We. They are We and We are They. God is divine. God is what God is.

Expectations. Helpful or Not So Helpful?" "Leading up to a final follow-up visit to the pediatrician for my son's prior mentioned illness, I was expecting to feel calm, relieved, and a sense of completion, based on my recent feelings on the ordeal. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED Parking Lot: Plenty of available parking Me: Anxious Receptionist: Friendly Me: Anxious Waiting Room Toys: Cool Me: Anxious Partner: Calmly reading food magazine Me: Anxious Doctor: Freshly shaven with hair product Me: Anxious My Son, Atticus: Cooperative Me: Anxious Outcome: Fine Me: Anxious WHY? I don't know. Maybe I was tired. Maybe I would have felt anxious no matter what I was doing. THE POINT IS... It can be confusing, unsettling, and lead to further anxiety when expectations differ from reality, which is most of the time in my experience.  Perhaps lowering expectations is an act of self-care.
