Alien bodies vs name of the doctor is really hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby for what happens when the doctor dies

[capn-twitchery]

....man there would've been. a decent period of time inbetween grace killing the Only Other Guy around for miles and twitch picking him up huh

100% alone out on the ice with nothing except an empty half wrecked ship and the guy you just murdered. and butchered. for like...2 weeks? more???

after a while he sets the ship on fire to get someone's attention but til then was he just. sitting there the whole time? in dead silence? grace buddy are you good?? you wanna talk about that or,,??

re: raised in amphibia marcy who is nothing but the cores host

beyond the psychological stuff im also thinking about the physical. the evil science possibilities. im just like. canonically its hinted that the core did stuff to marcys body just in the few months it had her to make its vessel more suitable. the plug ports that were apparently in her limbs bc otherwise she would be getting stabbed by those things. "this thing needs some calibration" about marcys body??? what did it mean by that??? and like u mention her being wired up to it in the original ask

anyways im up here thinking abt how much it mightve done to her if it had her for that long. if it had the same plug things installed in her limbs as she seemed to in canon shed probably need replacements if they happened when she was young enough and grew significantly since then.

also my mom used to work in the brain-computer interface industry and well. to get really any level of highly detailed or accurate data, let alone on the scale youd need to fully interface with the entire brain, you would absolutely need to have direct access to the brain rather than trying to go through the skull. theres no way this girl doesnt have a port of some kind implanted in her head for the core to directly connect to her brain.

hell maybe it doesnt wanna deal with biological organs and the problems that might arise from them. no big deal itll just have them replaced!

Aaaaagh dude i love your asks. Galaxy brain asks from my galaxy friend mutual.

Anyway. Yes i I have thought quite a bit about Marcy's whole deal. What Andrias cares about is her brainnnn that blob of grey matter that's somehow a biological supercomputer. He has no qualms in eventually getting rid of the body and keeping the brain in a jar, immortalized as an invaluable piece of hardware with the help of some shadowfish biotechnology (shhh lemme tell you a secret: he actually does care for her and love her and takes no joy in hurting her. He just doesn't love her enough to save her :3). Anyway, unfortunately, when he found this thing, her brain was surprisingly underseveloped. He had a vague awareness that the unfortunate coincidence of bipedism and viviparity so characteristic of homo sapiens resulted in them giving birth to useless, half-developed fetuses (as opposed to fully mature, egg-born pollywogs), but surely, by age three, a human would be more mature, right? He checked his archives on alien biology and, indeed, no. An average human's brain isn't fully developed until around age 25. Marcy may be smart, but she's still, by all accounts, a homo sapiens pollywog. He consults the Core. The Core wants a host. They want a body, and they want this brain. They will do with just the brain, is Andrias is too useless to secure them the body, but even if they're willing to wait for another body (stronger, bigger, more amphibian) to come around eventually, they know it won't work as well as with the original brain-body combination.

He decides to raise Marcy to be 25. He keeps her mind sharp and body healthy, or as healthy as possible. She undergoes many week-long sessions unconscious and connected to all sorts of wires as tubes. It's so normal for her, that by age 6 she knew how to get on top of the plataform or into the tank without falling, and how to put on her own oxygen mask. She always woke up feeling weak and hungry when it was over, and with one killer headache, but her dad always held the biggest fests for her with all her favorite food when it was over! She always looked forward to her sessions. Like a dog.

In these sessions, she would undergo several procedures. There's mossman, shadowfish and amphibian biotechnology involved. The point is to 1) make her brain Core-friendly - if it has many dimensions that would make things easier! And 2) translate the data from the Core into something that can be run in a biological machine. For which they need to understand and explore said machine. She only has one port, in the back of her neck, hidden by her long hair. It connects straight into her spine and her brain. In essence, these are fitting sessions. The Core is trying out their new house. Ever since she was little, they actually did use her brain to run tests and perform different functions. Most of the times it was mostly to study it, but as she grew older, they began using her whenever a function required too much energy, whenever something that would take forever to load with its own equipment, would render almost instantly with hers. They never left any data behind, erasing all evidence of their presence, and they never fully transported anything to this new extension, using only copies of data with the original files safe in the Core. The point is to leave the Core behind eventually and fully move on to this new computer, but not yet.

A few funny side effects!

Her blood is slowly growing more and more green as the years pass. This actually has less do to with brain stuff, and more as early preparation for eternal youth and immortality. It's mean to make her last longer. When she first meets Anne at age 10 - 11, her blood is a brown-ish color, but by the time things blow up when she's like 13-14, it's just a gross green. Her kidneys filter it out with time and her blood returns to its original red color, and Anne and Sasha see her real skin color for the first time, since before she always had this weird green tint, but they didn't know enough about humans to tell it wasn't normal. Seeing her blush red instead of green for the first time is kinda magical.

Migraines! Especially after a session. Especially when she does something the Core wouldn't like, because despite how hard they try to erase their traces, Marcy's most primal survival instincts remember.

More indirect effect but going several weeks a year without eating can't be good for her. It makes her feel very tired, dizzy and weak, even if she's eating normally, because three days ago she was starving.

The port in the back of her neck itches a lot. After becoming queen, she asked the royal physician that put it her to remove it, but he was scared of leaving her paralyzed, since it was so deeply fused with her nervous system. Sasha still thinks she should've had the guy publicly excecuted or something.

Idk if it counts but ?? Andrias wouldn't touch her if she was sick, so Olivia often found ways to give her a fever in secret or something to spare her. She did it to protect her, but it does mean Marcy spent a big deal of her childhood in bed, recovering from a session or a light illness.

The Core communicates with her nervous system through electric signals, and even thought they don't want to harm it, they still make her muscles contract a lot so she feels super sobre afterwards lots of muscle pain all the time.

There is no helmet in this one. No indirect connection. When Andrias puts the Core in Marcy, he goes all the way. Straight into her brain! They got a new PC :3

Layton community, with great pleasure I bring you, mysterium chimaerae.

a monsterified Hershel! the physiology is based on a mix of various animals, but the most defining are the Harris's hawk, the tawny owl, foxes, felines, and a bit of deer. More design doodles under the cut, along with a long physiology ramble.

He can stand bipedal, as his back talons are strong enough for it, but it's easier to stand and move quadrupedal. The main body is very slim and flexible, with elasticated skin (meaning muscle + bone is slightly visible, but this is normal). Antlers are mostly for display, but can be used for ramming in an emergency. The wings stay tucked to the body when not in use, protecting him from the elements. The planar disc around his elongated feline-esque face- paired with the ear-like tufts- allows for precise hearing. Four whiskers, two either side of the jaw, give slightly more acute sense. Eyes fix forward permanently, and head turns to watch. The midriff and stomach are fairly receded, while the ribcage and pelvis are fairly sharp but quite short and somewhat collapsible, allowing him to fit into small spaces. The neck, body and tail portions of the spinal column can move independently for greater mobility.

Front legs are long and thin, while back legs are short and strong. This means that he stands full height with back arched, chest forward and shoulders back, and "slinks" with front half rolled forward when walking. When standing bipedal, his front legs come up to the chest to provide balance, the wings lay down rather than flat to the sides, and the back legs splay slightly to provide adequate stance.

The coat is layered. The thinnest fur is dark tan, and very soft and fine. On top of that is the orange fur, which is a little thicker, and mostly for warmth. Then, the topmost dark layer is feathers, which are hydrophobic. Between these, sharing characteristics of both feather and fur, is the chestnut brown covering, which is also slightly water repellant and is quite coarse. Antlers have a thin layer of velvet; the purpose of which is unknown, as he appears to be fully matured. Wings have a black top coat with a singular orange "splotch" each, and an orange underside beholding eye-like markings, possibly for intimidation.

When running, he reaches incredibly high speeds comparable to that of a large feline— the back legs provide driving power, while the front legs, wings and tail provide directional control. Flight is mostly gliding, but he can gain traction in air with enough effort.

Diet is currently not fully known, but he has taken great interest in teas, fruits and vegetables, and carbohydrate-heavy plain foods, with the occasional sweeter meal.
