Pangolin grass type starter

Roots for ears and underside of tail

Baby is Oblossum. Final evo is grass steel

The baby sticks it’s tail in the ground to like. Regain energy or heal. The middle form is that awkward teenage form where it’s got some over sized petal scales that cover its eyes like an over sized helm

Wooly bear caterpillar that turns into a cat moth cause Virgin tiger moth is what wooly bears turn into

Rhino beetle hyena big dark maybe?

It’s baby is a grub puppy

Water starter goes from like a leopard gecko to a ribbon eel dragon. Coral horns and bits. It’s sleepy and likes to put others to sleep

Final type is water psychic the baby form’s tail is like. Bubbles that are stacked on top of each other to mimic the fatty shape of gecko tails. The middle stage is kinda monitor lizard shaped with just ridiculous coral eyebrows

Fire ferret into fire couatamundi or what ever or like. Civet something long with a big tail that’s fire rock with lava and rock making the tail stripes baby fire ferret tail is a sparkler and the more excited it is the faster the sparkler burns down and when it burns all the way down the ferret just passes the fuck out and sleeps for 18 hours like a real ferret.

Spider with a grass knot or a tumble weed for a butt

Psychic beluga

A vaguely dragon flavored Whaleshark that is dark electric, a type I’ve always wanted to mess with. Basically it’s a whaleshark w a black hole inside of its mouth. I have a lot of fish and sharks I know so maybe I’ll do something else but definitely like the typing and the general concept.

Water grass type loch ness shape based on lotus flowers growing up above the muck

It’s baby form is just a little messy leafy plesiosaur or something

Fighting type babirusa 2 stage

Catnip cat

Shadow thing under blanket/coins/etc like has a mimic vibe it’s like mimikyu like u never see it’s true form it’s just little grabby hands that reach out from under the piles.

Thylacine fossil? Solo fossil like Aerodactl

Rock dark type. Has a long tail that it keeps curled up that looks kinda like an ammonite but it can unfurl so it can hang from things. Like I know possums don’t even really hand from their tails but it’s a marsupial like. Trope? Idk but it’s just to keep it from being an animal in design and more of a Pokémon

Coffee bean that is either grass psychic or grass dark

Grass fire incense Pokémon. Named Intsints kinda shaped like a porcupine, it’s tail is long and on fire like charmander and it lights it’s spines that are fragrant wood.

Rat king three stage. More rat? More rats. This one is gonna be pretty weird like it starts as a little rat with a ruffle around the neck then it becomes two rats connected at the tail like it’s almost a girafarig situation. Then the last one is a Cerberus style three headed rat that’s bipedal. Has three tails as well and the middle head probably has little horns that look like a crown or something. I feel like this is the least fucked up way I can do this tbh. The LEAST body horror.

Grackle to dragon pipeline final evo looks like it fucked a bedazzler. Very bird faced and feathered but also kinda wyvern shaped.

Honey pot ants that r like eevee so I’ve figured out how it works. The first evo or the ‘eevee’ is just a little normal bug type ant that is sort of fluffy and honestly has p good stats. It’s based on a velvet ant that. Yeah I know they’re not ants they’re wasps but it’s Pokémon please don’t @ me about this. Anyway in the ‘game’ there’s new fruits that are vaguely themed as fire water and electric like maybe the water one is a pun off watermelon. Anyway like u just have to feed ur little ant 5 of any one type of the fruit and it evos into a honeypot ant with that type.

Anubit solid ground type little bipedal little puppy that looks like it’s made of sand. Anubold is QUAD haha take that furry bait I bet you all thought this would be a fucken palette swap Lucario but NO it’s all fours and it’s ground rock and it’s very fast because rock types are usually slow but this one is gonna be like greyhound jackal shaped so zoomies.

Tenneric poison electric pikachu clone super cute but has the personality of the tv show pikachu. Like. Will be a problem.

Psychic olm pseudo legendary dragon

Starts as a little axolotl. Very fat an slow and honestly hard to train because they have rly bad stats. The middle form is vaguely cocoon shaped like lots of the earlier pseudo legendary dragons like tyranitar. It has a vague butterfly wing thing going on. The final form is. Slow. It has admittedly bad speed for a PL but it’s special attack is absolutely kooky. It’s very long and serpentine and has no eyes. Vaguely skeletal patterns along its body.

Mythic trope like celebi or victini that is a cuttlefish that changed type depending on the environment or the weather effects so like it would completely wreck a team built around sandstorm it’s a kittlefish like it’s tails are like the tentacles of cuttlefish and it’s eyes are OwO eyes it’s a cute baby cat. Like it’s kitten shaped and around it’s body length there’s a little drill like uh the fin around the mantle of the cuttlefish and then the kitten’s tail is actually the tentacles of the cuttlefish.

Fairy flying golden heron 2 stage maybe ghost fairy because like. They’re said to carry souls to the after life. The first form is kinda like an ibis, small and cute. Known to sing very beautiful but melancholy songs. It’s second form is tall and golden and almost raptor like to keep it from just being a bird. But anyway it’s songs are less somber than it’s previous forms and have a lilting hopefulness to them.

Grass whale. It’s like a hump back cause they’re my fave two stage. The first form is almost dog shaped because lmao u kno. Real life evolution. Pure grass or maybe grass water. Idk I think we need more pure types but grass water is neat. The final form is big

Two headed fawn that turns into the two headed unicorn like that one taxidermy

I want it to split apart and be connected by a spine and like ectoplasm and the girls get little ectoplasm unicorn horns and the boys get ectoplasm antlers

Lamb of tartary Pokémon 3 stage grass wife the 1st is like a little radish or cabbage like oddish middle stage is still mostly grassy but with little goat horns. The final is the furry bait I subverted with the Anubis Pokémon. It’s an anthro lamb with like cotton and wheat for the wool and it has little horns and a fat ass

There should be a water fighting type based off of a betta and the adult evo can have different color patterns assigned at random like Spinda yes I know another gimmick pokemon I’m sorry. The first stage a a liddol guppy with big big angry eyebrows

Fairy rock konpeito

Water steel hippocampus the baby form is just a little pony but with a dolphin tail the full stage is just like. A hippocampus or a Capricorn? I know somewhere on this list I say Capricorn but that’s basically just this but a goat instead unless I do something new which I might. Anyway it’s more dolphin or orca than fish so kinda thick tailed

Poison steel based on mercury. What body types don’t we have. I have a lot of serpentine and insect and like. General mammals. It’s basically like ditto so it’s amorphous but I can do something with it more creative than a blob. Ohhhh my gosh it’s a snail and it’s shell can mimic like a test tube or a thermometer vaguely.

Pure steel type that’s just a mailbox. They’re delivery Pokémon. The little red flags are on both sides and are like. Puppy ears.

Scarab beetle that imitates luxury balls when baby form. Adult form is opulent very fancy black and gold bug rock type

Solid dark type Minotaur two stage. The baby is just a liddol calf very cute and normal type. The full Minotaur is almost ghostly and shies away from light. It’s not quite upright almost a like. Werewolf shaped. Long bent forward neck and a shaggy mane.

Dark poison type two stage based on the shaggy inkcap mushroom. I want to avoid the human shape they did with uhhh what ever that one pokemon was but still have a fairy feeling. So maybe something like cradily. Like it’s mushroom shaped but maybe the top of the mushroom can open up into a mouth? Ok hear me out. Giraffe shaped. Shorter legs thoooooOkapi. It’s a mushroom okapi. The small form is like a baby giraffe tho like it’s neck can’t hold up it’s head and it’s always a little wobbly.

Also I want a fairy type that’s pure fairy because monotypes are actually p important to cannon Pokémon games anyway. Fairy type two or three stage. I can’t do the deer idea I had because now that’s the legendary basically. So like. Shooting star/sea angel. They’re like a little bit like willowisps in the first stage, and then they become like ethereal sea Angel or sea butterfly shaped fairies. Almost human but. Clearly not.

Split evo spider one is bug fairy one is bug dark both jumpers just the fairy is a peacock spider the dark is a bold jumper

Fire steel red river hog two or three stage. The final evo has huge steel tusks and steel hooves and maybe like. Steel bristles down back. Very beefy and cool.

I want a Pokémon that evolves differently if it’s in the wild vs if it’s caught and trained

And now that I’ve decided to make Pokémon based off my cats there we go like the base is normal and it’s a kitten like it’s a very small baby super baby tiny and if it’s caught as this baby and raised by someone it turns into a big soft normal flying but if it’s left to the wilds it becomes a normal fighting and it’s like. A Bamf

Hummingbird mouse griffin that’s flying fighting because grasshopper mice and hummingbirds are both so Aggro it’s a single stage, high speed and high attack but total glass cannon.

Gold orb weaver that can use a move like pay day that gets you money it’s baby form is often mistaken for gold nuggets it’s adult is gonna kinda look like a gold skulltula from Zelda, but like I want it to have long delicate legs and be kinda pretty.

Normal type that is a like. A harp like idk deer with harp antlers or something with strings between spines on its back idk idk

I kno I have a couple mushroom Pokémon already I think but like what about a lion with a lions mane mushroom for a mane tho

Like the region is already kinda apocalyptic feels so maybe it makes sense there’s a lot of mons that are kinda fungal. Idk. …

Make a quest beast that isn’t a giraffe

Mahoganbee. It’s not a bee it’s a mahogany wasp it’s a solo Pokémon and it’s bug and grass and it’s a friend

Water fairy solo Pokémon that’s a manta ray with like rainbow elements so like when it breaches the water it leaves like. The wrainbows in the air and idk I’m sleeping

An object Pokémon that’s a snake Made outta horse shoes. Solid metal but then the evo is steel dragon and you add spurs as spikes on the back to make it bulky and sharp

Also maybe a Capricorn cause like. Fish goat. Oh maybe a foil to the hippocampus

The difference is it’s water fire and it’s got big Ram horns that have steam vents and it has some inspiration from deep sea thermal vents and the weird worms that live around them like. The white and red ones.

Grass type that is a lion with a mane made of peacock feathers. Actually I can’t do this one the legendary is a lion now so I think this could be one of the fossils like. A frilled lizard with peacock feathers? Idk this one is on thin ice tbh

Shrimp horse. Water normal type. It’s a shrimp but it has hooves so. A little ugly and a little cute.

I already have Anubis so like I kinda wanna do set or like a typhonic beast so like the baby is pure dark and then the evo is dark electric or dark dragon but these also stay quad. Take some giant ant eater insp. As a secret shout out to Kingdom Hospital.

I Dont think there are any rock ghost Pokémon so like a ghost that is fused with a tombstone? Ough maybe a stego that has headstones as it’s back fins and it can have like a Celtic cross for its tail this isn’t a fossil Pokémon tho I don’t vibe with a fossil being revived just to be a ghost maYBE it’s Jersey Devil shaped. Like idk idk idk but I’m scheming this feels close

Regional variant one is a deaths head hawk moth and one is a Luna moth yeah like. I know another bug pair and another region exclusive thing. It’s my region I love bugs I’m sORRY

Ok but a fire type that is a lava lamp like maybe a giraffe with lava lamp neck or a Fox with a lava lamp tail

Baby bat that is normal type that just has a big honking nose like big v shaped nose it can’t fly yet it’s head is like the size of the rest of the body it’s all shnoz and all ears the grown up form has like frilly wings like a parasol

European starling that is flying steel because the gold on the wings the end form is steel fairy or psychic? Something what ever it’s gonna be spacey

Wait another shark that is water ghost and it’s a shark with ghost fins because of shark fin soup and let it be thresher shark shaped cause it will make it a little more unique

Psychic poison scorpion. The baby is bug poison. There’s eyes inside the claws and like the lore is that people use it as a psychedelic. Is that too much for a Pokémon game? Oh well I guess.

Rock water type that’s like. The baby is a grotesque and it’s just rock but the gargoyle is rock water because. Architecture. Idk.

The regional rodent is raccoon based and it gets more rabid looking as u go. It starts normal but it ends up electric type because l bet everyone is gonna guess it’s dark type but nope it’s electric

A pair of pokes that’s like. One is a wolf in sheeps clothing one is a sheep in wolfs clothing. The wolf in sheeps is dark fire and the sheep in wolfs is grass fairy so they’re both effective to each other somehow

Pure water type that is a brittle star sea star that like. Walks around like u used to walk ur hand around U kno? Like it is just a little creachur

Legendaries maybe growth and decay themed so the decay legendary is mushroomy and the growth is flowery ofc But like what animals the third legendary is based on like the pure core of life and I want it to have a crazy god particle feel it’s got like a double helix tail and maybe horns oh maybe it’s a kirin. The decay Pokémon is maybe named Endrophy

Manticore Pokémon but instead of a human face it has a baboon face because I don’t like human mons and also baboons are cool as fuck. I feel like I have a lot of single stage so maybe this one has a baby form that’s just like a little normal type lemur

I want a shark Pokémon that’s fairy and very sweet because everyone loves dolphins and they’re shitty and sharks are good

Bug dragon that’s like. The frills of the face are the moth wings with like the eye spots like it’s. Complicated but it’s good it’s very cool ok I swear. The other bug influence is it has six legs otherwise it’s like. Very western dragon shaped.

Ghost that is a chameleon that is like. Glow in the dark skeleton idk maybe it’s body and shape is like made of smoke like the gengar line

Normal grass type that’s a terrarium. Maybe a turtle shape. I don’t want it to be too similar to torterra tho. So maybe a like. Bearded dragon because they’re kinda pancake shaped in the middle.

Ice type that’s like a wooly mammoth but no. It moose. Wooly moose.

It’s probably got a first evo that is like some sorta little baby yak that’s just a shuffling carpet of fur with yak horns that are low enough to be ground level. Like. They are little snow plows or something.

I want a white rabbit with red eyes that looks at first glance very fairy type but it’s actually dark/fighting type and it’s not a rabbit it’s a hare so it’s inherently rly fucked up the baby form of it is like a little puff ball dust bunny or mochi bunny or something that’s strict normal

Firefly shooting star Pokémon it’s bug lightning the baby is just a little sparkle star the middle is a uhhh it’s a rock like it’s a meteor u kno and yeah shooting star firefly

There is a sheep Pokémon that is the like. Poster child for Delta Pokémon it’s a normal type but at any point u can take it to a Modico station and change its type and form. Like froufrou or what ever it was called. It’s a sheep because of dolly the cloned sheep

I need a fire type that has spikes like maybe a stego? But basically the spikes are made of fire and like high intensity torch style flames so they look sharp

Abrice the ice psychic abra and koldabra there isn’t a third evo because the psychic power is dampened

Fairy fighting or flying fighting swan that is based on like. Swan lake and also the fact that swans are so fucken scary

Rock water type that idk what animal shape but it’s got like drippy fur that’s actually strings of crystals that are shaped like water drops it’s. A complicated concept but it’s fine. It’s fine it’s ok I’ll work it out. Maybe it’s like a kelpie but with a croc face.

The evil corp is called Modico Corporation

They front as a company of good will and change progress etc etc I feel like because I know how people are and I know that if I had a chance I would absolutely give myself a tail or like cat ears like. Yeah I feel like there’s a trend of people getting modded to have like eevee ears and pikachu tails. So like now that Pokémon games have character customization I could see you going to Modico buildings in different cities to get different Pokémon parts. Like I’m not gonna add this to the region probably because I feel like people would shit themselves about it especially a certain YT channel but what ever it’s fine. I’m just saying it would be very much a thing people would do.

The evil _team_ like the grunts and the shady gang that is connected to Modico but like secretly is called Team ChimeRNA

Cause like. DNA and rna like. And they’re doing gene splicing. Anyway team Chimerna are notorious for causing a lot of damage when ever they go on a rampage and often steal Pokémon so people assume they’re just a less organized team rocket but turns out the truth is team chimerna are literally just there to cover up when ever a Modico experiment escapes or goes crazy. Like they just destroy everything to destroy evidence that would leak back to Modico. Most of team chimerna are a lot more capable than they let on so people don’t get wise to the methods behind their madness

Some of the original canon pokes u can catch you can also take to a Modico station ‘modicubes’ that are like in Pokémon centers and stuff anyway u can take them and some you can change to like Entolian Forms and some you can just change their types. Not all can be changed like there will only be like 20 or so and the company says it’s because cracking the Genome of different Pokémon takes time because Pokémon vary so widely.

U can see delta Pokémon in the wild as well tho it’s not common. When a Pokémon is delta variant it has a different color or pattern so it’s like easy to see. It’s kinda like finding a shiny but it’s not that rare. They also don’t sparkle when u find them just different colors. If u breed a delta there’s a percentage that u can breed a delta. Some Pokémon can only get one delta type but some have like idk maybe three options. It’s not like. U can take any Pokémon and add any element. That’s what Modico wants but they’re not there yet.

The region is a series of islands. Not like Hawaii more like. Iceland and Greenland and like. A third idk. Anyway most travel is don’t by bird like that’s the fast travel mechanic and it’s by a giant condor themed bird that also takes flavor from bearded vultures. The babies are a sit stupid cute but useless. They’re dodos. Like I almost want to make the islands connected by crazy wild ‘roots’ that turn out to be mycelium but you walk across them to get from one to the next but then like the surfing Pokémon mechanic would be useless? Idk idk idk.

I need a thistle Pokémon. It’s my fave flower? Why don’t I? Like a little nondescript mammal with a lot of thistle spikes and a big fluff butt like a thistle flower. Maybe a capybara?

Dumbo octopus rock type it’s like a bat it flies with its flaps it’s so good and cute

So I have a few redundancies like several sheep adjacent and sharks and so many bugs and like this is a valid issue I’m admitting I have, it’s clear I have preferences but like if I don’t end up diversifying I can just say that it’s because right after a mass extinction there’s often less diversity as like. Existing species start to fill now empty niches. Like a weak excuse but like it’s a fakemon region that’s like FOR ME so.

So three islands that are the main path the gym challenge takes, there’s a handful of islands that only appear at certain times when the waters recede. This is where you can find nuggets pearls etc as well as some rare Pokémon. Not the legendaries cause that would suck having to wait wait. It’s a cluster of small islands that have a lot of mangrove trees and ancient ruins scattered around as a little story hook showing how grand the world used to be. I want it to be kinda solemn and quiet in tone like it’s still a Pokémon game but my fave parts of early Pokémon games were lavender town and the burnt tower like these. Stark and quiet places. Something bad happened. But it’s important to remember. I think it was a like natural disaster cause it prolly wouldn’t be cool to have Pokémon go through nuclear winter. Tho. It would explain why there’s like so many weird ass Pokémon … maybe It was something like. A Pokémon that absorbed infinity Energy at such an advanced rate that it became unstable and it like. Fractured and the energy released was like a nuclear fall out and it warped a lot of the Pokémon in the region. Like eevee is said to have weird dna so maybe the unleashed energy altered Pokémon dna around the region and made it less stable

Unrelated to anything but since my self insert is the big type elite four. Page gets a self insert that is the dark elite four

Nine can be steel type and holl can be psychic. She’s blind and has a seeing eye psychic Pokémon because that’s cute. Hell can be the last gym leader that’s dragon type

Town and island names

Whole region: Ento Region

First Island: Ourasph island (named for Ourasphaira. The oldest known fungi)

Towns:

Willowbark Town: first town. Named for willow tree bark that has medicinal properties. Ties in theme of healing and recovery. Small and fairly rural town that is right next to a marsh with lots of willows and a river. The marsh is kinda like a viridian forest. A place to catch some different Pokémon than u would see just on route 1’s tall grass. The town has a small community, a Pokémon rehab clinic which is actually where you get your starter. The region’s Pokémon professor works here and lives right next door. Her name is Prof. Maple and her wife is Prof. Laurel who is the more tech savvy prof who gives you a Pokédex.

There’s a person who will plant berries for you in their garden here and this is a way to get the berries that evolve the ants.

Echinacea city:

Barely a city but it’s got it’s pride. This is the first gym, fighting type. There’s a Pokémon center here and also an arena that is being built. After u ‘beat the game’ you can come back and challenge harder versions of npcs that u have already fought.

Amaranthe:

Staghorn:

Second island: Pleuro Island (named for Pleurotus aka oyster mushrooms. The fastest growing mushrooms.

Nova Sotis: a play off of Myosotis which is the name for Forget Me Nots. I almost just named this town forget me not but maybe that’s on the nose idk. Anyway. This is the first city you come to on the second island and this is where you first see how much damage was really caused In the Event. While the first island is slightly overgrown and there’s a lot of Buildings that are seen abandoned and ruined, this island is desolate. This island wasn’t hit with overgrowth it was drained of life by the unicorn. Nova Sotis is a port and more of a city than a town or village. There’s kind of a lot happening here as it’s a turning point in the tone of the ‘game’. There is a memorial shrine here and it’s sort of like Pokémon tower in lavender town, it’s a place of reverence and remembrance. This city also has a library where u can read up on the lore and get some details on the legendaries and the Event. Either in the library or as a building all it’s own there’s a small museum like there was In pewter town. This is where u revive fossils and buy ‘souvenir replicas’ of some of the items for Pokémon like the griseous orb or the ancient sword. Idk if Like any of these pokes are gonna be in the region but I’ve always liked the idea of finding a real relic in a kitchy souvenir shop.

Coriolis Valley-

Third Island: Clados Island (named for Cladosporium, a radiotrophic fungi found in Chernobyl.)

The elite four is here there is ofc the victory road. Idk what else there might be.

Lore

There were two eggs. One black one white. One produced tons of infinity energy to you know. Help the world thrive. One absorbs infinity energy to keep things from. Idk exploding like keep things from going too off the rails.

Somehow the absorption egg (black one) is cracked. Damaged. It starts pulling in more and more and more. It hatches. It’s beautiful and looks like a regal lion that’s primarily pink and gold and white but it is actually, despite its pure look, the destructive Pokémon. It’s covered in black thorns and spikes like briars that haven’t been pruned.

When it hatches so does the white egg. It’s a deer like unicorn that is delicate and fragile looking. It’s covered in mushrooms and looks like absolutely rotten. The lion egg took too much and while once it was the source of infinity energy and grown it’s now been used up and is just a shell of itself.

At first glance people look at the lion and assume it’s like a protector etc but it’s corrupted, too full of infinity energy that everything it does is fueled by its anguish. Like how mega evo is said to hurt and make Pokémon aggro. Same same but different. The lion isn’t a killer it doesn’t hate people it’s just too beefed up. The unicorn tries to sequester itself away because where ever it goes it seems to wither grass and cause rot as it’s body tries to like. Stay alive after what was taken.

The eight badges also come with shell fragments. The gym leaders all kinda mention like. Idk these have been passed down or this came to me to keep but for some reason I feel like I need to give it to u etc. the 9th fragment comes from like. Maybe the prof or a rival. Anyway you put the bits all together and make a special pokeball to catch the lion to let it rest and become uncorrupted or you catch the unicorn and like let it regain its former strength and then u fight the other and can like use the master ball on it or what ever.

I’m debating on them having ‘pure’ forms after you heal the one you catch in the egg like the lion becomes it’s true form where it’s all ghostly and dark but still like. Regal and now it’s in balance so it doesn’t sap life like the corrupted unicorn does. And ofc the unicorn becomes floral and soft and it emits like gentle light because it’s no longer corrupted and now it’s back in its proper role. But people might like the forms as they are so maybe it’s like with the griseous orb for giratina and the Pokémon only changes appearance when holding it. Like that way u can still get the story plots but people can choose if they want the rot unicorn or the flower unicorn for their team.

The theme of the region is like.

Building after disaster. It can probably be seen as an allegory for healing after trauma or disaster. Like it’s been some 150-200 years since the egg cracked and there was like the explosion of infinity energy where the lion basically. Took every last bit the unicorn had which like. It should have been limitless but the lion just stole it all so fast it like snuffed out the flame of growth or what ever. And in that instant when both Pokémon became corrupted it like. Destroyed 3/4 of the region. Now in the present the two Pokémon have gone into hiding and people are rebuilding and like the towns are bustling and the world is starting to heal but there’s scars. There are still places that the unicorn lingered too long in that are basically like Chernobyl. Dead zones. Wastelands. Some barren some full of fungus and warped trees. The places the lion razed are too overgrown with too much energy buzzing within. Like homes covered in kudzu and trees bursting up through the hearts of sky scrappers. So like you get to see both sides of disaster u kno but mostly. People are just trying to rebuild. The Pokémon league remains mostly as an echo of tradition but it’s purpose is also to train Pokémon trainers who are strong enough to protect the people if the lion or unicorn (depending on which version ur playing) ever wake up.

There’s the evil company or what ever tho that, like it says up there, wants to fuse people and Pokémon so the people themselves can defend against what ever and also because it’s a Pokémon game; for money and to take over the world.

GIVE ME ARMIN HEADCANONS 👹👹👹

you’re so needy (affectionate)

Armin Arlert headcanons <3

no warnings

modern au

DRESSES. he wears dresses. sundresses, summer dresses, ruffle dresses, anything. and he absolutely rocks all of them. this is his favorite style. sometimes he matches with annie and she is so supportive

armin has a souvenir replica of an odm sword hanging above his bedframe and one day he snapped and cut his hair with it. annie had to help him fix it

armin and bertholdt are best friends but they have a rivalry where they plant objects in each other’s homes in increasingly obscure places. bertholdt opens his fridge and there’s a tiny plastic baby sitting on top of his milk jug. armin goes to his bathroom sink and there’s a worm on a string wrapped around his toothbrush. this has been going on for ages

armin and bertholdt play minecraft together but it’s always on peaceful because they’re both cowards and armin will literally scream if he hears a creeper hiss

he has a leopard gecko named poohbear that pretty much looks just like him. armin’s instagram has so many pictures of poohbear on his head

he actually genuinely enjoys cleaning and organizing his home and hums to himself while he does it

armin really likes learning obscure things that he probably won’t need to know at any point, so he just has a really strange collection of knowledge. however some things he does end up making use of (e.g. morse code and sign language, which he is decently good at)

he LOVES plushies so much. he has a collection of stuffed animals hanging out around his house and will randomly greet them, squeeze them, carry them around, etc

armin and reiner have an inside joke. armin goes “I’m gonna eat your boyfriend” and reiner really dramatically says “noo, don’t eat my boyfriend!” neither of them know where the joke came from but they both think it’s hilarious for some reason

FLOWERS MAKE HIM SO HAPPY especially sunflowers like they literally never fail to make him smile. I’ve mentioned this before but he and annie own a garden, armin tends to the flowers and annie cares for the vegetables

he still talks about his grandpa and sometimes while sleeping over with someone he’ll start sleepily telling stories his grandpa used to tell him

he loves reading really obscure history books. reiner would come to visit and ask him what he’s reading and armin would hold up this big ass book and he’s just like “oh, this is about early munitions manufacturing and how it influenced the modern arms industry!”

a huge nerd for flags, of all things. in his room he has a russian flag, a union jack, a french flag, and a colonial flag and he wants to get more like the german flag because he just loves the look of them so much for some reason. he’s never even been to russia or france. he just thinks flags look cool

sort of related to that he also loves collecting vintage or old wartime-y type things like jackets, pins, and other little knickknacks

he makes annie wear matching pajamas with him sometimes and they’re usually a little too big for her but she still likes it bc it makes them both happy

#ARMIN SUPREMACY #i love him sm bro #shingeki no kyoujin #snk #attack on titan #aot #headcanons #armin arlert #armin arlert headcanons #armin headcanons #annie leonhart #aruani #armin bert and reiner are best friends #modern au #requests #feralshcs

@dragonherder2030 @gl1tchxr

Decided to make this it’s own post but here’s the Lore stuff(previous posts: first, second).

Okay so basic world stuff before I get to characters-

This is kind of like your classical children’s book/movie/show, animals that have relations closer to human like ones and all talk and stuff. But darker! So yeah, warnings for mentions of death, hunting, and just some darker themes.

The animals mostly live in groups, usually mixed between similar species, though some completely only one species, and others are very spread out.

For example, a group of birds of prey consists of falcons, hawks, eagles, and the like. This group would probably be rather large and well known.

The next down, a group of different kinds of hawks, some are red-tailed hawks, some are goshawks or broad-winged hawks. Also probably well known, maybe a little smaller though

And next would be, say, a group of only Red-tailed hawks for example. These kinds are very rare, and 90% of the time are just families living by themselves for a bit, before rejoining another group.

Most of these groups, minus the third example, are lead by representatives of their species.

Representatives are about what they sound, there a single person that represents their species. There’s one for each general species(I’ll get into the specifics of what that means in a moment), and they’re kind of the judge, jury, and executioners of this world. They, of course, have to lead their people this way, but they also have to keep each other in check. If a representative is considered too far beyond redemption, they’ll be cast out by the others, and since the representatives represent their species, the rest of the species will also be outcast.

Representatives are chosen through death, in one of two ways. You see, representatives cannot die of old age, starvation, illness, or the like, their magically protected. They can only die from wounds/in battle, which is how the next representative is chosen. If defeated by another member of their own species, that animal well become the new representative. However, can choose an heir to replace them if they die by another species hand, though that rarely happens. In that case their heir is made the next representative, if this happens and they don’t have an heir the next representative will be random.

So, general species is a very vague phrase, so I’m gonna try and clear that a little. When I say general species I mean, for example, rather then just say Canine, there are foxes, wolves, coyotes, and many others. Rather then just say bird, or uh, song bird or flightless bird, I’d say there’s one secretary bird representative, one finch, one sparrow, one hawk, one kite.

However you wouldn’t specify past the that, for example, there’d be hyena representative, but not one specifically for, say, brown Hyena’s. A brown hyena *could* be the hyena representative, but it would be for all hyenas not just other brown hyenas. I hope that makes sense.

There are some animals where it’s kind of a gray zone, for example like how there are animals called leopards but aren’t actually leopards(snow leopard, clouded leopards, etc.), and in that case… yeah I’m just gonna look at the species a little and pick myself, not exactly perfect but that’s what we’re going with.

Okay now onto some of the other lore stuff, gosh this is already so long.

So ferals. As I mentioned before, some entire species have been outcast before(it’s pretty rare though), but what does that mean exactly? Well in this world when a representative fails their job and species so badly the entire world doesn’t want them, they’re species loses what makes them… more complex, what allows them to talk, and have more ‘human’ characteristics. They become wild animals, in the sense that we see them in the real world, if not worse because it also raises their aggression a bit.

Yeah I know, I never promised this animal world was well run. In fact I made it kind of badly run on purpose. Flawssss like blaming everyone for one persons mistake. Wonderful.

So, a feral animal *can*, technically still retain their more complex aspects, in certain cases, being the exiled representative, for example(because they still retain their near immortality and magic protection till they die). The other way, is if they have a non-feral animals soul. It’s possible for certain animals to trap souls in objects, and give them to people. If given to a feral animal, the feral animal regains their own mind, but can only speak in the voice of the dead animal.

Okay so there’s all that out of the way, let’s talk some more about relations. (Tw for talk about eating animals/hunting(by other animals of course) until the part that says ‘okay let’s move on from the dark stuff’)

So there are still, of course, predators in the world who can only eat meat. They’re usually given this through those who pass away from other means(old age, injury, or other such examples), however there are other cases. If there’s an actual battle between two or more groups(started for reasons other then food), or in special zones.

These zones are taught to all from a young age, and most people avoid them, however they are widely accepted as violence/hunting zones. Basically places where most rules don’t apply, and animals could be hunted/attacked/killed without much repercussion. These zones also work in reverse tho, because they’re sometimes used for groups of smaller animals to gang up on bigger ones without facing whole groups of bigger ones(they’d take one at a time). Oh and feral animals are always allowed to be attacked/fought/hunted on sight. They have no protection.

Okay let’s move on from the dark stuff! Interspecies relations,

So as I said, it’s not uncommon to see, say, different kinds of birds of prey together, it also wouldn’t be uncommon for birds in general to be grouped, usually in a settlement in that case.

You could probably see a bunch of aquatic mammals and reptiles sharing gossip and a snack on popular beaches.

A group of iguanas protecting a group of smaller newts and geckos.

But what about, crossing even the similar species bound? Seeing a jackal and a crocodile together, not as enemies but as friends? Very rare but not unheard of.

The most common, but not only, case of un-alike species being together is traveling. Two animals who are traveling alone/separated from their group, and have destinations close to each other. They may want extra protection, or just company. This is usually only 2, 3, or 4 animals. Bigger groups haven’t really been seen, but they probably exist lol.

Otherwise, they’ll be seen in settlements. Sometimes a group of, for example, aardwolves and actual wolves may settle, but they didn’t know really close by was a settlement of tigers. The two groups meet and happen to get along, their technically separate still, but they work together and live so close to one another a visiter may assume their one settlement.

And uh.

This is most, though not all, of the the kind of the world building stuff! Hope you like it, sorry for talking so long wheuduhfhsha.

I may make a other post talking about the story and characters specifically, but this was just the basis

OH ALSO. Most of the examples for relations I just made up on the spot and aren’t cannon, they *could* be, like there could be a jackal and croc friendship I make in the future, but most of them are just random things I came up with. That’s all.

As always questions/comments are encouraged because they help me improve and add onto the lore, and also help motivate me to work, lol.

Survey #371

“some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”

What is one song you feel as though you sing particularly well, if any? Probably none, lol. What was the last lengthy task you completed? I love these unique questions I've had lately, but damn, are a lot of my answers "I don't know," lol. What type of photography do you enjoy looking at? Do you take any photos yourself, and if so, what types of things do you prefer to photograph? I love floral and wildlife photography. Landscapes, too, and I have a great fondness for boudoir for reasons I've mentioned in previous surveys. I like taking nature pictures, mainly. Have you ever gone out for the Black Friday shopping rush? Did you enjoy it, or not so much? Or, what’s the busiest shopping day you’ve ever experienced? Hell no, that's a hard pass. I'm sure the busiest shopping experience I've had was like at the mall or something around Christmas, idk. Do you enjoy reading diaries or stories you wrote from when you were younger, or does it embarrass you? If you’ve kept them, was there a particular reason for hanging on to them so long? NO. I DON'T. BECAUSE I CRINGE INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION. I keep a lot of it for memory's sake, but goddamn, is it always embarrassing. What would you say was your first true hobby? What about your most recently developed one? Um... the first thing I really remember is video games. I played Spyro like, a LOT, along with other childhood games. I was just really into gaming at a young age. Is there one thing that throws off your mood more than others, whether it be lack of sleep, lack of food, heat/cold, etc., and when was the last time you felt especially cranky? THE HEAT. I become so irritable. I was needlessly cranky a few days ago for whatever reason. What kinds of things are you likely to complain about? My legs hurting, more than anything. Also being hot. Do you like to put any extra effort into your food in terms of presentation, or do you prefer to just put it on a plate and eat it as it is, no frills? Ha, no. It's not gonna look fancy in my stomach, so whatever. Have you ever dated someone who had kids? No, and I very much doubt I ever would. Are there any candles in the room with you? No. Does the last person you kissed have tattoos? No, but I tell her all the time that dainty nature tattoos would be THE most beautiful on her. When was the last time someone called you pretty? I think when I last updated my Facebook profile picture. Do you like the color pink? It's my favorite! Does your cell phone have a case on it? What color? It came with this thin purple one. What was the last song you had on repeat? "Moon Baby" by Godsmack. Ever kissed someone your parents hated? No. Your most recent ex says he/she hates you, you say? I wouldn't *say* anything, I'd break down sobbing. Would you feel hurt if your last ex was in a relationship? No. Have you ever had to choose between two people? Yes: Jason and Juan. Juan and I dated for less than a day not all that long before Jason and I got together, and Juan was pretty upset. He was nooot a fan of Jason due to a shared ex-girlfriend. Jason, meanwhile, just didn't care. What is the saddest thing that has happened to you? What about the happiest? I think the saddest thing has to be my breakup, especially when you know just how madly in love I was with him and had endless trust that he would never leave, and then he was gone in a flash one night. The happiest is, in turn, my recovery from said split. I found strength in myself and felt hope for once as I learned coping mechanics and got a psychiatrist that was worth a shit in my partial hospitalization program. What was the last new drink you discovered that was delicious? *shrug* Do you have a YouTube channel? Yes. I don't make videos anymore, though. Were you happy as a teenager? God no, my depression was awful. What do you do for your mom on Mother’s Day? Sigh. Not enough. I just tell her happy Mother's Day, give her a hug, and try to be an extra good daughter. Do you know anyone who follows a raw vegan diet and lifestyle? No. Can you go see a doctor alone or do you like to take someone with you? I can do it alone (but only have once), but I like to bring my mom with me still. Would you have sex with someone of the same gender as you? I'm bi, so. Have you ever had a concussion? One or two, I can't remember. How many dresses do you own? Zero. Do you know anyone who has a pet gecko? Yeah, my friend Summer has a darling leopard gecko. I want oneeeeee.

Nope. Do you forget to flip the page of your calendar at the start of each month? I don't have a calendar. Are you racist to any race? Nope. Have you ever intentionally hurt an animal?

Do you own any autographed memorabilia? No. Have you ever dated a twin? No. Oreos or Chips Ahoy? Oreos. Have you ever considered being a cop? Yeah, no thank you. What’s your favorite superhero movie? Maybe Logan. I thought it was very emotional and just overall a good movie. Name somebody you know who deserves a better life than they have: MY MOM.

Who are you the biggest fan of? m-m-m-mMARKIPLIER You’re DJ for the night - first track to get everyone going? Uhhhh maybe "Party Hard" by Andrew W.K.? Have you ever been hit on by a pushy person? I think Juan was kinda pushy, but not to an uncomfortable degree. He respected what I felt. What accent do you find attractive? Most attractive, British. But I also really like Scottish and Irish. Also French accents in women I tend to find very beautiful-sounding. Have you ever had feelings for a friend's partner? Yes. What’s your favorite thing to do that doesn’t cost much? Drive around take pictures, maybe? Let's, uh, ignore the whole gas crisis in this answer. When in danger are you more fight or flight? Flight. Do you feel self conscious about a certain body part? *gestures to entire body* Have you been accused of being manipulative? Yes. Have you ever considered violence to solve your problem? No. Are you romantic? I personally think so. If you are a smoker, how long does a pack typically last you? If you aren’t a smoker, does anybody you are close to smoke, & if so, are you against the fact that they’re a smoker? I don't smoke. To answer the next part, yes, like my dad and stepmom. I wish they would stop so badly, like it's literally going to kill them both. Do you have more subscribers or more people that you are subscribed to? On YouTube? I'm definitely subscribed to waaay more people. Is there anything that has been drilled into your brain since you were young & you finally decided to stop listening to? How did it feel once you decided to listen to yourself over what you were told? Yes: "finish your plate." Teaching your kid to eat beyond their comfort can be very destructive, and I'm glad I never stuck to that once Mom stopped enforcing it. If you are currently in a relationship, what is one thing that seems to be unique or different about your relationship with this person, compared to other relationships in general? If you are currently single, is this more of a choice or is it more just the way things are going, not really something you chose? If you are neither “single” or officially in a relationship, what are your feelings on your current situation? I'm single, and it's just how it is. I know realistically I wouldn't tell what felt like the right person no, but it really is probably better that I stay single and keep figuring my shit out. Think of somebody famous that you have a lot of respect for. What is something that you really admire them for? To name just one thing I admire in Mark, his relentless "I'm going to do this no matter what" attitude is very inspirational to me. He lets like... n-o-t-h-i-n-g get in his way. If somebody were to leave a harsh comment on a survey you took, judging you on one of your opinions, how would you react? I'd get pretty self-conscious, just because I in general take judgment quite poorly. I obsess over "what if they're right, and you're just an idiot?". Are there any other sites you use to find surveys to take? What sites do you use? I mainly use Tumblr and LiveJournal, but in times of great desperation, I'll use Bzoink and just google surveys as well, haha. Have you sent or received any friend requests on Facebook lately? Not sent, but I got one from someone I had no mutual friends with the other day. Safe to say I declined it. Can you recall the last time you turned down an offer, of any kind? Uhhhhh no. Which fruit would you say you eat the most often? Apples. What was your pet’s last vet visit concerning? Roman has been to the vet once to get neutered (and I think shots?). I took Venus many years ago because I thought she had a respiratory infection. Thank god, she didn't. Which animals do you tend to go check out first at pet stores? The reptiles, snakes in particular. Have you ever been a victim of a house fire? No. What’s the longest you’ve ever had to wait before being seated at a restaurant? Like, over an hour. Have you ever had a cavity before? How about a root canal? A tooth pulled? Braces? Cavities and braces, yes. What is your favorite zoo animal that you would like to set free? Probably polar bears. Like especially here, it gets so hot in the summer, and the poor things sometimes only have a bit of snow in the shade. Like... they can't be very happy. Especially when you see those videos of them playing in snow, and then you think about situations like our zoo here... ugh. What kinds of artifacts fascinate you? I really think old figurines built with like clay and stuff are cool. But all artifacts I find to be very intriguing. It's so interesting to see that the desire to create has always been with us as a species. Is there anyone that you’ve visited in jail? No.

ooh do you have time to share some headcanons for an acw modern au where arthur is an art professor and wolf is a new professor and they catch each other’s eye ...

Uh, YES I DO ANON.

OKay so I did start typing this earlier and my phone geeked and crashed tumblr so LETS TRY AND DO THIS AGAIN SHALL WE?

Arthur, as mentioned in the ask, is a popular art professor. Not only is he good at his job, he is known as the heartthrob of the school.

Most online reviews of his course not only compliment his class, but also his ass. And everything else ofc.

One review used the golden ratio about the proportions of his shoulders and hips and since then the staff jokingly calls Arthur “Ponyboy.”

One day, during a staff meeting, Dutch, the dean of the school, informs Arthur and his coworkers that they are getting a new Animal Sciences teacher.

Apart from needing space, the best open location for this new teacher is in the building beside Arthur.

It’s spacious, and Arthur asks why this new professor needs so much space (as he takes up a lot with kilns and other things like drying racks or weaving stations.)

Turns out this new professor has some animals that she is bringing, and so she needs the space for the pets she is bringing into her classroom. Which— oh. Okay.

Arthur doesn’t think anything more of it until the day the animal sciences teacher arrives.

He’s outside, having his class throw paint at canvases to create abstract outlines by using stencils to cover up areas. It’s messy.

Arthur is covered in paint, his denim jeans and shirt splattered all over, and because of the heat, he has some of his shirt’s top buttons undone on his chest, as well as his sleeves rolled up.

(One girl almost faints. Arthur fears heatstroke but in reality it’s Arthur who is too hot.)

Still, he’s in the process of throwing a balloon for a student with an arm cast when Wolf arrives.

Students notice her and they immediately go: wtf are all of our professors gonna be fucking hot or????

He doesn’t see her at first, but he notices that a woman dressed in blouse and fancy dress pants is looking at him.

She’s beautiful. So much so that Arthur drops a balloon without throwing it and gets even more paint all over himself.

The woman chuckles at him and says, “So is this the art course I keep hearing so much about?”

And Arthur be like:

Wolf goes to shake his hand, uncaring for the paint on his palm as she touches him, introducing herself.

She then points to her building and says, “I’m the new Animal Science teacher, the one taking over the neighboring building?”

And Arthur is just like oh yes right right, Dutch mentioned this.

He’s very awkward, flushed and stuttering and rubbing at his neck. But Wolf doesn’t react or judge his nerves.

She smiles at him and tells him “well, I’m getting a look at the place, and I’m moving most of the stuff in tomorrow...” and she pauses, looking Arthur over, “And you know, I think you’d be perfect for helping me, if you could.”

And Arthur’s thirst now be like:

Ofc he agrees to assist Wolf with her move, and she bids him goodbye.

While some are jealous, the students notice Arthur’s reaction and they are IMMEDIATELY invested.

Arthur tries to ignore them, but he can’t get helping Wolf out of his head.

The following day Arthur doesn’t exactly have classes. In fact, it’s supposed to be his day off, but your word is your word and it really isn’t a bad incentive to have someone like Wolf being the one you owe it to.

Still, when he shows up in a worn Johnny Cash shirt and jeans, Wolf is happy to see him.

She’s dressed in sweats and a v-neck and OOF she looks like art in anything.

“Oh thank god you’re here,” she says, “I have a ton of tanks to set up and I need the extra arms.”

“Tanks?” Arthur questions.

“Yes. I have a few animals that I brought here for my class. I have u-haul behind the building— I would be grateful if you helped me unload!”

Arthur, internally: there is another load I could give you but alas I am gentleman first and awkward man second.

Nevertheless, Arthur helps Wolf get her items. He see some vivariums and other enclosures, and he scowls at her supplies, not recognizing any of it for what it is.

“Uh, what’s all this stuff for?” he slides one tank that’s taller than it is wide onto a counter, and he looks inside, taking in the sight of the bromeliads and moss, “You grow plants?”

“That’s my crested gecko’s enclosure!” Wolf chirps, and to Arthur’s surprise, he finds Wolf coming close to him, their shoulders brushing as she unlocked her phone, showing the art professor her lock screen of some lizard, “This is her! This is D’or!”

“D-D’or?” Arthur fucking BUTCHERS the name and almost slaps himself in the face.

Wolf chuckles, “It’s French for golden. She was my first reptile, and she’s the reason I went into animal science as a profession.”

Arthur blinks, “... first reptile?”

“I own others. Another crestie, a leopard gecko, a beardie, a ball python—“

“A python???”

Wolf laughs, “scared of snakes?”

“N-No, just... ain’t big, is it?”

“No. It’s a boy, so he’s smaller. Just a regular too, nothing fancy. Didn’t want to risk getting a morph and end up with something akin to the spider wobble.”

Blinking, Arthur hums, “I’m gonna pretend I just understood what you said...”

“You’re cute,” Wolf tells him, and Arthur??

He be like:

“Come on, there’s a few more things to grab,” Wolf ushers them to the door, and Arthur just follows after her.

While offloading a few more tanks, Wolf makes small talk. She asks about Arthur and his course, and she seems interested.

“I took IB art in high school,” she mentions casually, “Just didn’t pursue anything with it.”

“Really?” Arthur asks, shocked.

“Yeah, animals are more of my thing... but you seem to really love it.”

“Yeah,” he hums, “I do...”

Arthur gets to tell Wolf about what his kids are currently studying— from watercolor techniques to pottery glazes and masking making in Africa.

Wolf seems genuinely interested as they finish emptying her u-haul, and as she closed the tailgate, she smiles at him.

“You know, I need to check your building out. See what you have going on over there. Sounds so cool!”

Arthur blushes, “Y-Yeah... I need to learn more about what you do. Not just for the sake of offerin’ up better conversation, just that... seems cool too.”

Wolf beams at him, “Well, you’re welcome any time... But, I couldn’t have gotten my room set up today without you. You’re a life saver!”

Arthur smirks, ducking his head, “I dunno ‘bout that...”

“Well, I owe you,” Wolf tilts her head at him, smiling ruefully, “What do you say about having dinner together?”

Arthur blinks. Dinner?

We hydratin’ now bitches—

“Oh... I’d... I’d love that.”

“Me too,” Wolf hums, “Do you have any classes later today?”

Shaking his head, Arthur replies, “No. it’s my off day.”

Lightly striking his bicep, Wolf gapes, “Arthur Morgan! Don’t tell me you came on your off day to help me out!”

“Well, when a pretty woman asks you for your help, you don’t say no.”

Wolf smiles with some heat his way, and she crosses her arms over her chest.

“Well, guess I owe you something more than just a dinner.”

Feeling brave, Arthur comes a step closer, “And what would that be, miss? Got another idea of a meal for me?”

“You ass!” Wolf playfully hits his bicep again, but they both laugh.

However... she doesn’t deny it.

“Well, since you’ve been so kind to me today, where would you like to go?”

Smiling, Arthur replies: “With you on my arm, sweetheart? Really don’t matter to me.”

They have dinner and maybe SOME OTHER THINGS and it quickly becomes known that the art and animal science professor have a thing.

Wolf heard about the Ponyboy nickname but Arthur cannot fess up to why it’s a thing. Karen, the business professor, tells her and Wolf can’t stop laughing.

At one point, Arthur uses D’or for a live reference in an art project.

Wolf also catches a wild corn snake that was enjoying the warmth of his kiln in his art room and helped to properly relocate it. (Arthur did not scream, he yelled, okay?)

Arthur may or may not have sketched Wolf a couple of times. (He has. They’re in his sketchbook at home.)

Wolf may or may not have gotten him the new set of paintbrushes he uses during lessons. (She totally did. He didn’t want to spend any of the class’ budget on himself.)

Either way, they’re a package deal, and everyone ships that shit like UPS baby. ;)

Allergic Reaction

Back with another Colby x Reader Fic, because I really don’t want to do my homework. This one’s mostly about filming a video with Sam and Kat (and some cute Colby towards the end), because I feel like I’m leaving Sam out a lot- but it’s like weird writing x reader stuff about him because he has an actual girlfriend.

**Goodbye for now Sam and Colby 2.0, gonna miss these videos tbh. Paused my writing to watch the video :( Hope our boys are all good and get back to doing some (not horribly dangerous or demon contacting) videos.**

Warnings: Reptiles, Allergies

Word Count: 2,953

“What’s up guys!” Sam greeted his camera, hand flying over his head enthusiastically. “Today I’m here with my girlfriend Kat, and our friend Y/N, who also happens to be Colby’s girlfriend.” Sam explained to his camera. The three of you were sitting in Sam’s apartment, lined up on three dining chairs. Sam was in the middle, and you and Kat on either side.

“Hi,” Kat waved at the camera, grinning widely as she set her head on Sam’s shoulder.

“Heyo!” You exclaimed, throwing up a peace sign.

“So, today I’ve got a little something planned for these ladies,” Sam grinned at his camera, gesturing to the both of you, “something very, very fun- well, for me at least!”

“Sam!” Kat groaned jokingly, ending up laughing halfway through.

“Kat and Y/N have no idea what we’re filming,” Sam laughed, beaming apologetic looks towards the both of you.

“Kat just told me we were hanging out,” you pouted, glaring lightly at your friend.

“Sam didn’t tell me we were filming!” Kat defended herself with a laugh, raising her hands up in surrender.

“Yes, I didn’t tell either of them,” Sam told the camera with a smug look, “so, I’ll explain now. I’m going to blindfold them, and you both are going to be holding some creatures I have hidden in the bedroom. These are my friend David’s pets, he’s just in the bedroom with them. So, they won’t bite... probably,”

“...probably?” you whispered, shooting Sam an unsure gaze.

“Sam, I swear-” Kat warned, glaring wholeheartedly at her boyfriend.

“Okay! I’ll go get the blindfolds.”

You and Kat shared an unsure look as Sam disappeared into one of the rooms. Seconds later he appeared with two folded up bandanas.

“Dibs red!” you grinned, leaving Kat with the orange one. Sam tied each of the bandanas around your eyes.

“Okay, Y/N slide onto the middle chair since I won’t be sitting with you guys anymore until the end of the video,” You slid over slowly, almost falling off the chair- but regaining your balance and seating yourself firmly. You felt the movement at your side as Sam moved the empty chair out of the frame.

“So, I’m going to go see which animals we’re bringing out first. David has two of each animal, so you guys will be holding them at the same time, okay?” Sam explained to the both of you. By the way he sounded, he was crouched down in front of the both of you “you’re going at the same time since it’s kind of a competition, guess the critter first and you get a point!” Sam said loudly, talking to the two of you, as well as the camera set up a few feet ahead.

“Roger,” you nodded, vision darkened by the blindfold. Sam then patted your knee (and probably Kat’s as well) and stood, leaving the two of you in silence. Kat patted your leg and you took her hand.

You heard was beating fast, anxious to see what Sam had hidden up his sleeve.

“These better not bite us, Sam,” Kat whined quietly but loud enough that Sam heard from the next room (he laughed).

You weren’t too scared. This type of video could only mean one thing- and that was creepy critters. Corey did it with a snake and giant frog to Devyn, Aaron did it with lizards, snakes and fake spiders to Sam and Colby- and a bunch of other Youtuber’s videos had had roughly the same concept.

Now, not a lot of people know- but you were pretty allergic to fluffy animals. The slimy, scaly things were nothing- but a fluffy little puppy would puff up your face and give you itchy hives in minutes.

That said, it didn’t stop you. You really loved dogs and cats. You were always found petting Circa, Navi and Buddy whenever you were at the trap house. But you’d always prepared yourself beforehand with Benadryl. You enjoyed playing and cuddling little fluffy animals- and puppies were still your weakness.

“Okay, we’re coming out- this is David by the way,” Sam explained.

“Hi David,” you chimed into the darkness, being the only one to not have met the man beforehand. Kat had been banging on Colby’s apartment door asking for you to come over about ten minutes before you’d been blindfolded.

“Hey,” a male voice greeted.

“Okay, you two ready? We have the first animal species. These ones aren’t too bad,”

“Cup your hands together, they’re kind of long.” David told the two of you. You did as told, flinching your head back as something long and slim was set in your hands. Little claws settled against your hands, and the creature's toes were weird. Whatever it was had a tail that was hanging off the side of your hands.

“What the hell?” You mumbled quietly as Kat let out a surprised cry, you continued your train of thought, “a lizard?”

“Y/N got it! What kind of lizard though?”

“You want us to guess the kind of lizard? Sam, I’ve never even held a lizard,” Kat laughed.

“No idea,” you giggled as you slowly maneuvered the little lizard into you right hand, lifting the left to stroke over its little head.

“Alright, alright,” Sam sighed, “lift the blindfolds- I'll let you guys check out the animals you’re holding because I’m not mean.”

“Awh, they’re so cute,” you cooed after you nudged your blindfold up with your shoulder.

“These little guys are leopard geckos; their names are Dale and Gracie.” David explained to you and Kat.

“Look at their little spots,” Kat grinned, glancing at you.

“Okay, hand the geckos back, and blindfolds down. We’ll be back with the next pet!” Sam took the little leopard gecko from your hands and you reached up to pull your blindfold back into place.

You listened for the footsteps, and prepared yourself for the next critter.

“Here we go, we’ll just set these guys down in your laps...” Sam paused, “watch out for the teeth.”

“Sam!” you gasped, instantly raising your hands away from you lap as something was set down. It had claws, not very pointy, but they were there.

“Y/N, have you touched it yet?” Kat asked hesitantly from your side.

“No, you?” you replied, hands gravitating over your lap carefully.

“No- it’s got claws. Sam, why are they in our laps?” Kat asked quietly. Sam simply laughed, urging you guys to touch the creature. You let your hand fall, and you were greeted by a fluffy texture. Apparently, you made a face, as David and Sam laughed.

“It’s fluffy,” you told Kat, who then made a weird noise before humming quietly.

“A rabbit?” Kat guessed.

“Yeah, definitely a bunny,” you agreed, running your hand over the silky ears and down it’s fluffy back. You were mainly allergic to dogs and cats. Littler animals just gave you a stuffy nose and made your eyes water occasionally.

“You guys are right, blindfolds up!” Sam enthused, “Kat gets the point this round!”

“Y/N is holding Honey, my Holland Lop, and Katrina is holding Gizmo, who is a Cashmere Lop.” David explained. You cuddled Honey, rubbing your cheek against her soft fur.

The guys let you cuddle the bunnies for a few minutes before once again the creatures were taken from you and the blindfold replaced.

“There’s only a few more left,” Sam called from his bedroom. You pointlessly glanced in Kat’s direction; vision still black from the fabric covering your eyes.

“Okay, here you go,”

You yelped out, hands recoiling as something pointy brushed against your hands.

“Y/N? What?” Kat called desperately, but seconds later she yelped out as well.

“Sam, what the hell is that?” you whined.

“Hold your hands out,” Sam replied instead, voice even but it was clear he was finding this hilarious. Your hands shook as you held them out, palm up. Something was set in your hands. You drew in a calming breath, feeling some part of whatever this thing was brushing against your thigh.

“These guys are harmless, it’s the last one you need to worry about,” David said calmly.

“Don’t say that!” You hissed, lowering your hands against you lap and carefully parting them so the thing was settled against your thighs and you could actually touch it.

It was long, flat and kind of round, as well as really pointy. The skin was rough and little spikes ran along its body. Kat was making little horrified, yet confused noises as you two tried to figure out what the hell you were holding.

You pulled back quickly as your fingers brushed along bigger spikes around its head. It was...

“Oh, I know what this is,” you grinned. “It’s a bearded dragon!”

“Oh! Two points for Y/N. That’s exactly what they are- blindfolds up,”

“Oh-” Kat nodded. You both took off your blindfolds to look at the pointy little creatures. Kat was still cupping her lizard while yours was lounging calmly in your lap.

“These two are Ginny and Missy,” David told you. They were really cool looking, but also kind of creepy.

“They’re so pointy?” Kat’s eyebrows furrowed and her mouth formed an ‘o’ shape as she stroked to fingers from the bearded dragon’s head down to the tip of its tail. Sam laughed, leaching down to stroke the lizard in his girlfriend’s lap.

You carefully picked up the lizard in your lap, handing it to David who took her back with a small smile. Sam picked up the lizard from Kat’s lap, following David to his bedroom as he called a hurried “blindfolds!” over his shoulder.

You and Kat exchanged nervous glances as you both pulled the blindfolds down for hopefully the last time. David had said that this animal was the one to be afraid of.

You rubbed your hands together nervously, heart pumping in your chest.

“Back, without an animal. I’m going to give you each a wet-wipe since this animal is kind of sensitive and David wants to keep everything healthy and happy. Just a safety precaution,” Sam explained and he popped open the wet-wipes container, seconds later a wet cloth was set in your hands and you vigorously rubbed your hands together.

“A precaution?” Kat asked as she accidentally elbowed you while wiping her hands, “sorry.”

“No problem,” you mumbled staring straight ahead as you toyed with the wipe.

“Yeah, nothing that will harm humans, but like I said, this animal is sensitive.” Sam took the wipe from you hand and you heard him walk into the kitchen, then job back to the bedroom.

“Ready, girls?” He called, and you could hear the smirk in his voice.

“I’m so scared,” Kat whispered, leaning towards you.

“Me too,” you agreed quietly before shouting back to Sam, “ready!”

The footsteps were loud, but muffled out by the beating of your own heart. Soon, Sam was stood in front of you and you could feel his presence.

“Should we actually do this?” Sam asked, voice low. Your anxiety spiked, because he wasn’t talking to you- no, he was talking to David.

“I mean, the probability they’ll bit is pretty low...” David replied.

“I’m pretty scared just holding it, and I’m wearing the gloves-”

“Sam! You’re wearing gloves?” Kat shouted, and then there was the sound of a chair screeching along the floor.

“No, thank you!” You yelped. Something was set in your lap and you froze. Completely still, hands mid-air.

“Kat,” Sam groaned, “shh, Kat!” and everything fell to silence. “Y/N if you guess this animal, you win as Kat took her blindfold off.”

Your hands shook as they lowered towards whatever was in your lap. It was fuzzy-

“It licked me!” You cried out, cringing lightly and flinching away from whatever it was. You took a wild guess, just wanting the game to be over, “is it, um, is it a dog?”

“Yes! Our winner is Y/N with four points- Kat is our loser with one point, sorry Kat.” Sam exclaimed, telling the camera the final stats.

You were quick to take off the blindfold. Happiness filling you as you stared down at the fluffy little guy in your lap.

“He’s so cute!” You gasped, lifting the little puppy up, “goodness, he’s adorable.” You cooed.

“Oliver and Sydney, two-month-old Corgi puppies,” David grinned. “They’re almost ready to be rehomed.”

“They are so cute!” Cat squealed as she sat herself on the floor. You and David joined her, and the puppies played between the three of you.

“Colby home, Y/N?” Sam questioned, looking at you before gazing towards his door.

“He was editing when I left,” you explained, rubbing your arms as the itching started. Your eyes were watering, and your skin was starting to blotch- soon to be covered in hives, but there was no way you weren’t about to play with these two little corgi puppies.

Sam was gone for about ten minutes. In that time span, you and Kat had each picked up a puppy to cuddle and were sitting together on the couch- invested in the puppies. David had gone to sort out the rest of the animals, as he had a bit of a car ride and would be leaving soon.

You could already tell your face was swelling, not bad, but slightly uncomfortable. Your arms burned with hives- which you simply pulled your sleeves down to hide. Your eyes were damp, and there was a slight scratchiness to your throat- but all in all, this was a pretty mild allergic reaction. You used to react way worse when you were little.

You hid your face in the Oliver’s soft fur, (not the smartest idea on your part, but whatever) when Sam’s apartment door opened.

“What did you want to show me?” You heard Colby, refusing to look up- because he knew, you knew he knew.

“Puppies!” Sam exclaimed, plopping beside Kat and allowing Sydney to stumble into his lap. The little corgi licked his fingers as he stroked her back.

“Puppies?” Colby smiled. He walked further in, eyes trailing from Sam and Kat to you.

“Aren’t you just the handsomest little puppy in the whole wide world?” You asked the little puppy, nuzzling his fur, ignoring Colby’s presence.

“Y/N...” Colby started slowly, “aren’t you like really allergic to dogs?”

You continued petting the puppy, but slowed slightly chewing on the inside of your lip. Yep, he knew.

“Maybe,” you said already knowing what was going to happen, your fingers curled into Oliver’s fur as Colby moved towards you.

“Y/N’s allergic to dogs?” Sam sounded very confused, “but at the house, you were always playing with the dogs.”

“Yea,” you said slowly, not looking up, “I was drugged up on Benadryl...”

“Your voice sounds weird,” Colby told you, arms cross across his chest, “hey, look at me.”

You huffed out, glancing towards your boyfriend who was stood in front of you. He gave you an unimpressed look, reaching over to trail his fingers across your reddened cheek. His frame was blurry due to your watering eyes.

“Y/N, babe, your eyes are so red,” Colby furrowed his eyebrows. You sneezed suddenly, covering your face.

“It’s fine,” you told him, hugging the puppy, knowing your time with him was ticking. Colby was kind of a worrier, and there was no way he’d let you keep touching the dog if it was making you sick.

“Show me your arms.” Another irritated sigh from you as you pushed the sleeves up.

“Jeez, Y/N.” Colby frowned, his fingers now trailing lightly along the hives. “I think we should take him away...” Colby suggested, lifting Oliver under his little arms and picking him up, “and go see if I have any Benadryl in the medicine cabinet.”

Colby set the corgi puppy in Kat’s lap, then moved to help you stand up.

“Thank for being in the video,” Sam smiled, “a heads up about your allergy would’ve been nice though.” You laughed, it sounded nasally, and you ended up coughing after but it was still pretty funny.

“Feel better, Y/N,” Kat smiled, Sam nodding as he also wished you well.

“I’ll be good as new by tomorrow,” you promised. At least, if you got some Benadryl in your system soon.

“You know I love puppies,” you pouted, sniffling as you plopped down on Colby’s couch.

“I also know that dogs literally close off your airways,” Colby narrowed his eyes at you before continuing to the bathroom. He came back a few seconds later with a box of meds. You’d been together for quite a while now, so it made sense that Colby would accommodate your allergy- especially since things like today could literally happen any time.

You took the required dosage, then leaned back against the couch, closing your sore, itchy eyes for a bit. When you opened your eyes, Colby was seated beside you and he was rolling up your shirt sleeves.

He applied a lotion to your rash covered skin, and the itch lessened. You moaned quietly as Colby’s hands ran along your arms, and he laughed quietly, kissing your lips.

“You know this doesn’t change anything, if I see a dog- I'm going to love it,” you told him, completely serious.

“Yes,” Colby nodded, “I’m aware- just give me a heads up so I can come with Benadryl so we can get all this under control faster.”

You grinned, pulling your shirt up, exposing your belly, “will you put lotion here too?” the words accompanied with a suggestive wiggle of your eyebrows.

Colby huffed a laugh, muttering about how lucky you were that you were cute under his breath before slowly lathering a some of the cooling lotion into your skin.

Colby really was a good boyfriend.

(1/?) Anxious about pets anon here! Thank you for your reply, I adapted all your tips and already feel better :) In my first ask I almost talked about my situation sounding a bit hoarderish but didn't to keep it short but I realized I prolly should've! So I'm gonna explain myself a bit better now that I'm calm, I'll try to keep this short but I have a tendency to ramble so I apologize for the length in advance. Also gonna call myself 🌱 from now on since Anxious about pets anon is a bit long!!

(2/?) Normally getting two geckos and turts in a couple weeks is definitely a red flag and if I saw someone do that I'd definitely side-eye them. I do not support getting so many animals this fast at all which is why it freaked me out so badly and it's something I never want to do/experience again. I find preparing and caring for a new (species of) pet for the first few weeks very stressful to begin with, so doing so for multiple species simultaneously with little to no warning has been awful.

(3/?) However the reason I ended up in the situation at all was because I had seen a post online about a leopard gecko that was for sale enclosure & supplies included for fairly cheap, so I opened it for fun. Turned out the geck was actually in my area and the set up was not... Very good. So I talked with the seller and came to the conclusion I could take him as my own leo struggles to keep up with the phase my feeders breed anyway so I had the means to do so

(4/?) All is good, I'm getting a leo (picking him up this weekend). No biggie, except oh no. I find a morph of created gecko I have been looking for & I've had an empty set up waiting for this moment for ages. I'm a bit put off by the timing as I don't really like the idea of buying two pets in such a little amount of time, but it's too late for I have fallen in love and I justify getting him bc I've been prepared for this for a long time and it also happened to be my birthday that day.

(5/?) Still, took a bit of a hit from it and looking back I would still classify it as an impulse buy as I had not expected to run into the crestie that day even if I had been prepared for a while. This has also been the first time I haven't waited 12+ months between purchasing animals which planted the seed of anxiety in me and the word "hoarder" did cross my mind a couple times but I ignored it, mostly because I knew I'm not one and thought it was silly to think that, but also cuz it scared me

(6/?) Fast forward a few days I'm talking with the leo seller again. I ask why they're getting rid of it and they tell me they're quitting the hobby so they're rehoming everyone. In curiosity I ask what other animals do they keep and we talk about it for a bit till they say "everyone else already has a home except this baby turtle, no one wants him". I have no interest in getting a turtle, but like a fool & out of wanting to be educated I ask about the species as I'm not very familiar with turts

(7/?) I thought I made it clear I'm not going to take him before the chat but as the 'educational' convo went on the seller was actually picking apart my reasons why not & as pets are a special interest of mine I engaged very enthusiasticly w/o realising. At the end of the chat they said "I'm glad they're both going to a good home". I had missed two of my latest therapy sessions & have severe difficulty telling people no so I replied with "I'm just trying to help" & had a panic attack.

(8/?) It was too late to back down now so I'm getting a turtle. But with that what I was getting as well was more anxious and I spent the next day in bed, which helped. I opened up about it to a close friend, and instead of them reassuring me they told me they've been meaning to ask me if I could take a tortoise (that turned out to be a turtle as well) out of their friends hands. I said Im not sure if this is the right time, and my friend asked me to think about

(9/?) I ask my friend why does this turtle need a home anyway, he tells me the owners travel a lot and that the turtle is loved but neglected. I felt sad. My friend knows how I'm gonna react if someone comes to me directly to ask for help, especially if it's about a suffering animal. I grind my teeth & talk with the owners telling them I'll see what I can do, then I get a text telling me my friend has already made a plan how to deliver the 100g aquarium to my apartment.

(10/?) Even when I may not have wanted the turtles I'm glad if I get to make their lives more enjoyable. I will give them my everything and do my best to provide a good home for them. Tho it does hurt me my discomfort is secondary to other people when they know I will agree to things as long as they apply enough pressure, especially when I'm already vulnerable, but I suppose it's my fault too for not communicating well enough and for allowing them to take advantage of my difficulties

(11/11) Sorry this turned out a LOT longer than expected!! You don't have to post it I just wanted to let you know I didn't just wake up one day and decide to expand my family by half, but that it was more of a gradual process that I found myself unable to stop even when I wanted to, & will work with my therapist so I can be prepared for these situations in the future. Thank you again for the advice, it has helped me feel better! Ps. I will update when all the pets are here and settled down! -🌱

I hope you don’t mind me posting, I wanted to share your story with others, especially in case anyone was still worrying about the situation!

I’m sorry that you had so many people stomp all over your boundaries, especially your friend. That was super not cool of them. :/ I understand having difficulty saying no, especially when you’re wanting to help animals - I have issues with that too. I’m glad that you’re so aware of the problem & that you have a plan to work on it though!

Also I wanted to add one more bit of advice - keep in mind that you do not have to be the forever home for every one of these animals. Especially if you find yourself getting overwhelmed or having difficulty with care. You have to take care of yourself as well as the animals. I know turtles can be a fair amount of work and money to set up well, and while I know you said you’re up for the challenge, I just want to make sure you give yourself some room to breathe. If you do find that you’ve taken on more than you can deal with, it’s okay to look into options for rehoming some of the animals, and that doesn’t make you a bad person. I can definitely vouch for the experience of finding yourself in over your head & needing to take a step back and find a better place for a pet, even when it’s really hard! I know these words might not be necessary, but I just wanted to make sure someone said them, in case you needed to hear it. ♥

Thank you for the update and further explanation, and I hope everyone settles in well! I look forward to more updates if/once you’re able to do so. :)

“Patience Is A Vulture”: An Interview with Creative Growth Artist Ray Vickers

Ray Vickers thinks it’s “un-American not to have a pet.” It just is. The Oakland-born and bred artist also wants you to know about the exact Thursday he was born, his 120-pound dog named Ace (maybe our favorite dog name to date) and his popular series of dead rabbit illustrations. For this edition of Inside Job — a monthly artists’ series led by LAND Gallery’s Sophia Cosmadopoulos — Vickers chats about his nine years at Creative Growth, his artistic process and all the animals that he’s taken care of.

Creative Growth is an Oakland-based non-profit that serves artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities, providing a professional studio environment for artistic development, gallery exhibition and representation.

Ray Vickers: Did you know patience is a vulture, ain’t that how it go?

Sophia Cosmadopoulos: I think the saying is patience is a virtue.

RV: I think it’s vulture. And if I found your phone and gave it to you, that’s called a good samurai?

SC: It’s whatever you want it to be. Is that some pepperoni on your drawing?

RV: Oh my goodness [brushes it off]. I told my mom and sister last week, a few days ago, if I see someone, a man, doing a horrible crime, I would take my belt off and spank him. If I see a man doing a crime, I would whoop him. I would hit him with his belt in my right hand and take my belt off and whoop him with my left.

SC: So a double whoop?

RV: Yeah, so what questions you got for me?

SC: Well, would you like to start off by introducing yourself? RV: I’m god. No, I’m not. I am Ray Vickers. V-I-C-K-E-R-S, period. We are in Oakland, California. I was born and raised out here, lemme see, about 31 years. I am 31. Been on this earth 31 years. I lived in Hayward years ago for a short period. But I have been in Oakland pretty much all these years.

SC: Yeah, I grew up out here too. But in San Francisco.

RV: It’s freezing out there, huh? I heard because it be by the ocean.

SC: It is definitely foggier. But now I live in New York where it gets really cold. Have you ever been out there?

RV: No, I can’t really travel because of my pets. I got my two dogs and I got my lizard. And nobody can really feed my lizard his worms. I have a bearded dragon and I feed him mealworms — they are about an inch. My mom will hold my lizard but she won’t feed him worms. So nobody will feed my lizard worms, nobody will walk my dog, he’s nine, he’s 120 pounds, he’s strong. So he used to pull me when I walk him, but he doesn’t pull me no more. So I take his leash and I put it around my waist and I take the leash and I put it around his neck, you know, a chain collar, but he doesn’t really pull me like he used to. His name is Ace.

SC: And what is your lizard’s name?

RV: Jax. J-A-X. He turned a year old on April 19, 2019. I got him when he was small but he’s still growing. He has autism, he don’t like changes. I kiss him on the lips. He don’t like changes. I chilled with him yesterday for about an hour, but I didn’t have time for him on Tuesday or Wednesday. So I picked him up yesterday and he was mad at me because I couldn’t hold him on Tuesday or Wednesday and he tried to bite me. But I told him, if he bite me, I am not going to feed him. It took about 30 seconds and he calmed down. Then I picked him up and I put him, you know, to chill in my pocket for a little bit. I let him sleep. I can pick him up and he can be on my shoulder, chilling with me.

SC: I have never heard of a lizard with autism.

RV: Yeah, it happens. They can have ADD, ADHD, all that.

SC: When did you first start coming to Creative Growth?

RV: Almost nine years, I believe. I come here four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. But Tuesdays I am here from 9:30 to two o’clock because I leave to do my dog walking job, walking my friend’s dog for an hour. She’s a German Shepherd mix. She’s not big, she’s medium, she’s still strong. I leave today at 2:45, I do a dog walking job. But since the time change, unfortunately I don’t get home till about close to five o’clock, where it’s almost dark and dangerous. I hate to be out in a dark period. You know, I have a big dog and I have pepper spray but I still hate to be out in the dark, because that’s when a lot of badness happens. So I leave here every Tuesday about two o’clock on the nose. I am here four days a week.

SC: Can you describe an average day here at Creative Growth? RV: It has its days. It’s good. It’s like, me? I have autism and I say and do stuff without thinking, but I know how to control my impulsiveness here. Like if I saw you talking to somebody, I wouldn’t walk up behind you and talk to you, because I know how to control my ADD and everything. I wouldn’t just butt in and say something because I have R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

SC: And can you describe your artwork to me?

RV: I just draw whatever is in my head. Something simple, nothing fancy. I do dead rabbits that a lot of people like. I don’t know why people like them, but they do. They sell quick.

SC: When did you start making work about dead rabbits?

RV: Well I was watching TV and I had a freezer in my room. I was watching TV and I had a step, kinda like a stairway thing, a step stool, and it fell on my freezer, and my freezer had a dent in it and I looked at the dent, and I automatically thought of a rabbit. But the real part was, I was watching a show called Heroes, I don’t know if you heard of it, but about 30 seconds later, after the commercial, they showed a guy on there killing a rabbit. It was weird because right before that happened an image of a rabbit popped in my head on my freezer. So I started drawing them, and then everybody liked them. So I started making them out of wood and everything and on paper.

SC: And who is killing those rabbits?

RV: It varies. It could be those teddy bears killing them. Because you know those rabbits with the red eyes? I love animals, don’t get me wrong, but you know those rabbits with the red eyes? It scares the holy guacamole out of me. I ain’t gonna lie, it scares the crap out of me. The rabbits with the red eyes? That’s scary. I took my chances with petting a pitbull on the street more than once, I haven’t been attacked by one. But the rabbits with the red eyes? Wowee. I ain’t petting one of those. It would bite my fingers off.

SC: And what’s your process when you draw them?

RV: I just draw them, I just use the main colors, red for the blood, pink is for the ears — no, wait — pink is for the stomach and a purplish color for the ears. I use a hot glue gun to bring out the whiskers. When I see a rabbit with red eyes, it scares the crap out of me, I don’t know why. The next time I see a rabbit, I will leave it alone. As long as it’s cool with me, I am cool with it. Because I have ADD and everything — my mind, it never stops processing everything. Like September 11th happened on a Tuesday. There are just certain things that I can’t forget. I was born on a Thursday, August 20, 1987 and I still remember that I was born on a Thursday. And the 1989 earthquake, you heard about that one? I was two years old and I remember when that happened. There are just certain things I can’t forget, it’s like a gift and a curse.

SC: How long have you been working on your art?

RV: I was drawing as a kid. I was drawing Sonic the Hedgehog and stuff like that. But I didn’t start coming here till like about almost nine years. I was just at home with my leopard gecko. I was just at home watching TV playing PS2 with my leopard gecko on my shoulder. I was just sitting there watching TV with nothing to do and I heard about this place here and I started three days a week. Now I go here four days a week.

SC: Do you like going to exhibitions at Creative Growth or at outside galleries?

RV: Yeah I don’t go to all of them, just certain ones. I always say, if my work ain’t in it, I don’t come.

SC: What are your goals for your art?

RV: I want to go big, you know, platinum? Nah, just to sell, but I would never be cocky if I was rich because the most money I ever had, probably was about one thousand, three and a half, four years ago here. But I am not cocky with money or nothing like that. It’s like I am good at certain things, but I don’t be bragging about it.

SC: What do you do outside of the studio?

RV: I go to Comic Con. The next Comic Con I am going to is August of this year. I remember the first time I was there about three or four years ago, I was there from like 9:40 in the morning to literally 3:00pm. I walked around the whole day, never did sit down. What happened last year was, all I ate was a crummy little bag of trail mix peanuts. That’s all I had. I collect action figures. Like, when people say I’m too old to collect action figures — I’m 31 — they’re probably jealous because they ain’t got the money like I do. Because I’m 31 and I probably have 300 action figures.

SC: Wow, that’s amazing. Can you tell me a little bit more about yourself and how you grew up?

RV: I was born and raised in Oakland. Never knew who my dad was, real mom died when I was 16 and I couldn’t cry because I never lived with her, I was never close. So my main focus was watching Spiderman and cartoons in the 1990s and then going to Comic Con. I used to have a leopard gecko, now I have a bearded dragon, a bulldog and a Newfoundland.

SC: It seems like you’re a real animal guy. What’s your favorite animal?

RV: My favorite reptile would be a bearded dragon, still my favorite reptile. I like snakes too. Any animals, I am all for — any animals. I was learning something the other day — that caterpillars, I think it was in Australia — no, London, that caterpillars can actually make silk like spiders and they can silken up houses and trees and cars and all that kind of stuff. A monarch butterfly can fly 1,100 feet in the air. An armadillo’s shell is literally pretty much bulletproof, and they can actually give people leprosy. I was learning a lot of stuff on the animal shows.

SC: You’ve told me a lot about your lizard, what about your dogs?

RV: Both my dogs get along fine, but the bulldog, I actually found her four years ago by the bus stop. And I couldn’t leave her there, and I promised myself that I wasn’t gonna bring home another dog, because I had a Pomeranian, but unfortunately she had to be put to sleep because she kept having seizures. So I ended up bringing home the bulldog. I walk my dogs. I just walk, if it’s raining, I’m still walking. I don’t mind walking, because I walk everyday for an hour. Yeah, because today I got my two hour and fifteen minute walk in today. If it’s hot, cold, rainy, I’m still walking. Now if it’s thundering and lightning and hailing, I ain’t crazy. I am crazy, but I don’t get struck by lightning. I ain’t trying to get struck by lightning. I don’t wanna be in a coma for six months sitting on my ass. I would miss a lot in six months, I would be missing all my shows, my dog would be missing everything.

SC: That’s right, I heard that you have rescued a lot of animals, tell me about that.

RV: Yeah, the smallest dog I ever saved, like almost four years ago? Her name is Clara, our teacher Mady has her. She was real, real, real, real small when I found her, lemme see, that was about almost four years ago. She was probably not even bigger than my shoe. I found her by the bus stop and that’s when I had my long skateboard. And I couldn’t leave her there, she was with another dog, so I picked her up and brought her on the bus. And when I skateboarded here, she was in my backpack, because I never really fall, and then I said Mady, I got something for you, so I reached in my backpack and got it for her. I have rescued about four or five dogs total. I am good with animals. I hate to see dogs roaming the streets. Even this past Tuesday I was walking home, there’s this one dog and I thought it was a boy so I named it Homeboy, but I just found out this morning that she’s a girl, so I gotta change her name to Homegirl. She’s a chow mix. Whenever I see her, I always give her food.

SC: Do you ever bring your pets to Creative Growth?

RV: No. Well, my lizard is autistic, he doesn’t like changes. He’s only used to me. Like if anybody else try to hold him, he gets kind of spicy. But then if I hold him, he’ll come chill with me for like three to four hours. I be chilling with him. I got a thousand pictures of him. It’s un-American not to have a pet. Everybody should have one. I go to PetSmart. My mom says she’s allergic to snakes but she’s not, she just doesn’t like snakes. So if I could get a snake, a long time ago, I would have, but my mom doesn’t like snakes.

SC: Any last words, Ray?

RV: Patience is a vulture. And, if somebody tells you you are a horrible artist or you’re too old to do this or that, don’t listen to them because haters are gonna hate. And as Stan Lee would say, “Enough said.”

1, 6, 12, 25, 32, 39, 44, 69 (noice)

1. are you religious?

not particularly. i’ve identified as atheist for awhile, but i have been enjoying looking more into my sense of spirituality.

6. do you have any tattoos or piercings? do you want more?

i currently have double-ear piercings, a cartilage piercing on my right ear, & a nose piercing. i still want another cartilage piercing on my left ear, but a little lower than my right-- jenna marbles has one, & i’ve wanted one since getting into her content. for my last piercing, i want a daith piercing.

AS FOR TATTOOS. oh boy,,, i have many ideas but i haven’t really had the funds to ever bring them to life. the more prominent ones i’ve planned are an umbran symbol on my right thigh from bayonetta, & caricatures of my leopard gecko freddy and first ever ball python snakie (i was like,, 5 ok) forming a heart on my right shoulder.

other ideas have been the sailor moon’s crescent on my wrist (because i’m part of a greek fam called the ninja’s & my little, and grand-little both like sailor moon so they’re gonna be family tats). i’d also like some monarch butterflies somewhere, and maybe kamelot & epica’s symbols somewhere. idk these ideas are not as solidified, & i really would like to get the thigh tattoo done first--since it is definitely going to be the most expensive.

12. have you ever been a part of a protest or a march?

not yet, but it would be really amazing to take part in one.

25. who do you live with?

my mom & my younger brother!

32. what is your favorite part about your body?

hmm.... i’ve always enjoyed my legs and bobbies. more recently, since i started working out again, i really am falling in love w/ my arms!! for awhile, i was super self-conscious about them, but now i’m digging this muscle i see whenever i flex >:3

44. do you own any pets?

YES. our family dog is peanut [pictured below]

and i have a leopard gecko named freddy [pictured below]

we also have a painted turtle & her name is scraps because she’s always begging for food skskskskd

69. how many pillows do you sleep on?

already answered x

send me a number.

#naomirose #ask games #number ask #these were some good ones #nyami-rose

hey don’t reblog this pls thnx

this girl started at work and she used to be a department manager and so now they listen to her instead of me and she told a new baby associate that ball pythons are supposed to shed in pieces? she seems to know a lot about snakes so idk if that’s just what she told associates as a manager? or if she actually believes that? but she keeps undermining me and I’m just so frustrated like we’ve been through this guys after the last time she was here, we worked through this bullshit when we lost 5 hamsters for no fucking reason because she insisted that WE could cure wet tail by SYRINGE FEEDING THEM WATER FIVE TIMES A DAY AND STRESSING THEM OUT and aopdjfspoafjwpoer

and they got tired of losing animals and I was like “hey! crazy idea! maybe we could actually, y’know, follow P&P and take them to the vet like I said.” and we did and the hams survived! wow, crazy!

somebody returned a guinea pig that they had for SIX DAYS and when we sold him he was CHUNKY like, if he had been an adult we would’ve been Concerned(TM) but he was a growing boy so we were like ok he’s gonna grow into it and lose the weight. and when we got him back he was SO SKINNY, like, I could feel his ribs and hip bones skinny. we kept him in the back per p&p to observe him for three days and I talked to our store manager and my department manager and said hey, y’know, he sounds a little congested, I think the stress of them clearly not feeding him for almost a week may have triggered a URI and I think we should keep him back here for a couple more days AND THEY AGREED.

the girl put him out on the floor to sell, insisting that he was fine when he had crust on his nose. every customer that looked at him was like “wow :/// he’s really skinny :\\\” blaming us and I just had to be like “y.....eah. yeah he is. he just needs some TLC.” because she’s only here one day a week I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT AND THE MANAGERS DON’T

ALSO! ALSO! somebody returned a beardie last week that they’d gotten from another store and he very clearly had lost some of his tail at one point. like, the end of it is rounded off and it has a little bit of black on the end (which is lightening up and healing and is showing no signs of tail rot or infection) and I wrote on his chart “was returned with a messed up tail.” because, well, it was messed up and our department manager asked me to note that on the chart in case our DM or the department of agriculture came in for a surprise inspection because we don’t want to get in trouble for not treating an injury. AND THIS GIRL. SHE WROTE ON THE CHART, UNDERLINED AND EXCLAMATION MARKS, “HIS TAIL IS FINE! STOP!” .........it’s healing, almost healed, bUT IT’S VERY CLEARLY GONE THROUGH A TRAUMA WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S FINE?????????????????????????????????????????

she also won’t address me at all in person. like, I’ve asked if she needed back up before when it’s really busy and she says no and then two minutes later asks our manager for back up. I’m just???? like I don’t have anything against you as a person? I never did anything to you as a person? all I did was say “hey, (manager) can you please ask (her) to not put such huge bowls in with the leopard geckos and beardies? there’s no reason for them to be that gigantic and I understand why she’s doing it, but it’s already really humid both in the store and in this state and there’s no reason to make it more humid with huge bowls and risk the chances of URI’s.” like, that’s it. GAH.

last friday (I think) I isolated a long haired ham for wet tail and she tried to say his butt was just dirty but by monday he was really bad so he actually went to the vet and [knock on wood] he’s doing ok!! he seems to be improving!! BUT HE WOULD’VE DIED IF THE MANAGERS LISTENED TO HER. actually, they did, our store manager wrote “move out on tuesday” on sunday but when our department manager saw him (she’s not there on mondays) she was like “oh shit he needs a vet” and now he has an aggressive antibiotics schedule that the girl complained about on sunday (she thinks antibiotics cause wet tail LMAO) and my department manager was like “well he’s started picking at his food again so I think it’s working.”

(I’m still relatively certain he’s not going to make it, just because I’ve seen no evidence of him eating his food and minimal evidence of drinking, but I’m really hopeful that he’ll pull through and live a long, healthy, happy life!!)

there’s a beardie who’s REEEEALLY skinny and not moving much and I’ve said “hey I think he has parasites, I think we need to at least take a poop sample to the vet for a fecal! deworming isn’t that expensive!” and they waited until she was there on sunday to look at him and she was like “he’s skinny but he ate two crickets for me” and I wanted to yell THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO EAT 20-60 CRICKETS A DAY, THAT’S THE FIRST TIME HE’S EATEN SINCE WEDNESDAY MORNING, WHAT ABOUT THAT SOUNDS FINE???? he also has a discolored like STRAIGHT LINE across his face which looks like it’s from a bite and I pointed it out to my managers and they told me I was wrong and that’s just his coloring???? and I was just standing there like “........that’s......... their morphs don’t work like that? like? this wasn’t a question, this was a statement, it wasn’t up for debate, he has discolored scales on his face, their scales and patterns don’t work like that, they don’t get weird sections of different colored scales like snakes do.” and again I got the “mackenzie you’re not a vet blah blah blah” and every time I just want to yell NEITHER ARE YOU, SO WHY IS IT THAT YOU CAN SAY HE’S FINE AND BE RIGHT BUT ME SAYING I THINK SOMETHING EASILY TREATABLE IS WRONG WITH HIM, MEANS I’M NOT RIGHT

one of us is in school to be a vet tech AND IT’S NOT YOU!!!!!! one of us owns a beardie and it’s not you!!!!!!!!!!! one of us is heavily involved in the reptile community and knows a lot of breeders and it’s not!!!!! fucking!!!!!! you!!!!!!!!!!

#personal #I can only do so much with arguing about the vet sometimes I just have to let it go for that day and keep an eye on them and try not to sell #the animal in question and just when it gets bad be like HEY SO.......... YEAH #[quietly screams into a pillow] I want to quit my job ever since she showed up lol

It’s the time of the year where I talk about reptiles I want but I’m broke af and can’t buy.

So here is my top five herps that I’d like to add to my collection, in no particular order:

1) Blue tongue skink

-these are beautiful lizards that grow to quite a large size, much smaller than a tegu but larger than your average leopard gecko

-they have these cute little arms and legs on their sausage body

-as the name suggests they have a blue tongue(it looks metal as fuck)

-they are omnivores meaning they can eat salads, insects, sausage, red meat, and raw eggs!

-they are fun to feed bc of this

-and because of their adult size are fun to handle but don’t require a huge(we’re talking 8foot cages) cage

-minimum cage size for an adult blue tongue is about a 40 gallon breeder but bigger is always better

-my ideal cage for an adult bts is a custom pvc cage around 4ftx2ftx1 1/2ft

-this makes room for climbing, burrowing, a good heat gradient, lots of hiding spots and tons of enrichment!

-they can run about $150-200+ for a baby but bc Idc about morphs I’ll get a wild type which is cheaper

-I will ofc try and find one that needs a rehome rather than buying from a breeder/pet store but if I can’t find one I’ll make sure it’s a reputable source

-in addition to normal heating they also need uvb lighting which adds to the price

-again their diet is more demanding than my ball python’s weekly/monthly rat

-they need insects and veggies

-but it pays off because they’re fun animals

-overall probably gonna have to wait till I get a stable job

I'm at my grandma's (I think it was her birthday). She has a new really big house. There's this one part with like a bridge of swings and I get mad at my dad for getting off to early cause it messes me up and I almost fall. G-ma is out for something and I'm hungry or just want to make something. I turn on the single glass cooktop burner, which has the knob not directly by the burner. I forget there's like this fancy mixing bowl (like appliance wise, I don't know what it actually did) that's sitting on the burner. It ends up softening the plastic but it looks fine and O set it aside. I end up coming back to it, and it's still melting. The plastic ends up melting all the way into the metal appliance part. G-ma comes home and I tell her, offer to get her a new one to replace it. She asks if it was the microwave again, I get all ??? And say no it was the cooktop. She goes, or yea we have a microwave that has a piece of foil in the bottom and does that something, let me show you. Apparently it's not the microwave that's out so we go into the back areas looking for it in storage.

We stop looking for the microwave sometime and someone shows me a lizard at a table (w some other people around, i think someone was on a computer)

I end up in this "abandoned" concrete sewer thing but like slightly above ground where there's sunlight sometimes. I'm w a camera crew recording cars? One of the crew points out a lizard they found (a leopard gecko), I take out my phone to take pictures. The lizard comes closer and some guy comes over and picks it up by the tail like a jerk. I tell he's not supposed to do that cause they'll detach their tails. Someone says they're not worried about the lizards or the next part kinda spells that out. He puts the gecko infront of this kinda widr-eyed feral lookin cat I get all ??? Cause the cat's gonna hurt the gecko, but like the guy could just pick up the cat. Apparently they have 3 other cat/gecko set ups lined up in the little tunnel area. They're recording it for a show and there's a little grassy knoll on the left w people looking on in amusement. I get mad but go sit w the audience in the grass. Apparently there were supposed to be 5 set ups, but someone bought one of the geckos for like 350 or something?? (Either I did? Or it was a gecko we found earlier? Or maybe the gecko shown to me at the table) but also someone offered to by all the geckos for 500 if they survived but wasn't enough to buy them all outright?

• 8-19-2021 10:30 pm

#sel talks #dream journal #yea I'm doing this now #lizards #geckos #animal abuse #ig??#i don't think this is unreality but let me know of that's wrong?#i still don't know how to tag things #ask to tag #idk I thought it'd be fun #but also tumblr is like the first app I have open so kinda convenient #I've been meaning to write down my dreams for awhile anyways

Note

all the pet asks :3c

🐾 25 pet asks

...The worst.

dog - would you consider yourself loyal still to your best friend from two years ago?

Honestly, as long as they aren’t someone who’s hurt me before... I’d really welcome anyone back from my past. I’m just someone who does their best to be friendly and kind as much as I can to those who I meet, so...

Yeah!!!

cat - do you bite your nails?

Too much. I think I was biting them earlier today, actually.

hamster - what’s your favourite sport?

I don’t even really like sports!!! At all! The closest thing I’ve got is soccer and hockey respect. That’s....about it.

rabbit - favourite vegetable?

Hmm.... Would it be too stereotypical for the animal-ask to say carrots? Cause I’ve loved those since childhood; ranch dressing ‘nd carrots would never betray me.

fish - when did you learn to swim?

Fun fact!! I actually don’t remember!!! All I can tell you is I loved to swim with floaties when I was a kid...but then I almost drowned. Either because they were faulty or I took them off and didn’t put them back on, misjudged where I jumped (right where pool slides into the deeper side), and, well....

I did eventually learn, though. Favorite form of exercise, swimming!

rat - favourite children’s tale?

Ooooohhh, this is a good one... Hmm..... All I can specifically recount from my childhood is “The Story of Ferdinand”. I could see that red cover in my mind’s eye even now.... What a trip!

mouse - are you more outgoing or shy?

Shy, by far. Kinda getting better about getting out of my shell, but...shy is still my overwhelming trait. Can’t handle new people, my dudes!!

tortoise - how old are you?

21! Old enough to drink and old enough to avoid it at every turn, HAH!

gecko - have you ever been rock climbing?

I have not! Nor do I really want to! The closest I’ve ever been... You know those fake, climbing walls? Well, I do remember an occasion (a festival or something like it) where it looked cool, I wanted to try...barely made it two steps up before I got nervous. Gave me one of those stretchy...yo-yo, spike-ball-things that lit up in a bunch of flashy colors.

The more you know!

guinea pig - how’s the relationship with your parents?

Uhhhh, not too stellar, honestly. Stepdad is the worst of it; don’t really like him all that much and I’ll avoid him whenever possible. Might have something to do with him being one of those religious people and believing conspiracy stuff. Mom is...alright; better than stepdad, anyways! Does her best, but.... Eh, she’s a mom, whattya gonna do?

My dad is...well, he’s a mess, but I still love him all the same. Him and mom are the reason I love games and gaming so much! I wouldn’t have a 3DS if it wasn’t for him!! He’s a really cool guy, but.... Oft out of luck.

ferret - what’s one thing you cannot stop buying?

Fandom merch, LMAO. I simply cannot resist buying that for cosplay or this thing cause my fave character!!! Maybe this thing, cause- pffftt- why not, it says Limited Edition, so--

I wanna get into buying clothes more, though. I wanna dress super cute in the future, so-! Gotta live up to that, yo! (I don’t know how to fashion, though, so wish me luck. :’> )

hedgehog - favourite wild animal?

Wolves and snow leopards! ....Any big cat, actually, too.

gerbil - what do you like most about your physical appearance?

I almost didn’t know what to say for this, but then I remembered! I was just talking about how proud of my eyes I am... I think they’re actually pretty wonderful and I wanted my mom to see if she could get pictures of them sometime~

budgie - do you sing in the shower?

If I know the song? Yeah!!! Hell, I’ll even hum along if I’m listening to some video game music... I love singing in the shower. :3c

tarantula - when was the last time you hugged someone?

Pretty recently...? I think? I get hugged quite a bit, but returning hugs is less my thing. I’m just...still super awkward about being clingy, even though I absolutely want to be clingy.

snake - do you enjoy horror movies?

Uhhhhh for the most part, no. Big no-no. Horror movies will either make me question my life or get terrified, so-!!!!! No thanks!!!!!!!!

chicken - favourite cake flavour?

CHOCOLATE. But there’s also this mint-chocolate cake that I like....and I’m really loving black forest cake these days~!!

chameleon - if you had the ability to change one aspect of yourself, what would it be?

Hhhmmm... That’s a good one.... I’m somewhere between general appearance...or an aspect of my personality? Namely, my depression. :/

But I’ve lately wanted to be more...flexible with my appearance, too. Specifically with my hair, but there’s a few other things I wish I could change, too..... Make me like Tonks from Harry Potter please.

frog - are you good at any sports?

Ooooohhh, definitely not. Well, maybe, but I prefer not to do them, if at all possible. Getting hit in the face with a soccer ball and basketball on two different occasions kinda does that to you.

stick insect - fast runner or slow runner?

Very fast runner. Sprinting is the best! Wears me tf out, but I enjoy the rush.

centipede - how old is your oldest living relative?

....You know, I’m...not sure....... I live in my own world, majority of the time.

snail - do you salt fries before eating them?

I don’t eat fries unless they’re salted, so.... Yeah. (But there has been a few occasions where I eat them plain just cause I’m that hungry. Otherwise, no. Salty fries forever.)

parrot - favourite colour?

I don’t really have one anymore!! Uh, but I guess I like green, white, black, and red...?

chinchilla - night owl or early bird? or both?

Night owl waaaayyy more than anything else. It’s practically how I live my life!

crab - what’s the best thing about the beach?

Hmm.... The view and the sounds, probably. Being at the beach can really be so pretty and I love the sound of the rolling waves...... It’s all so nice~!

#mayxwolf #Aki answers #about me #.....ur a lil shit u kno that??#HERE YOU GO HAVE FUN I GUESS
