Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles

i’m trying very hard to feel optimistic about the upcoming exam.

White Blood Cells

Neutrophil -- lifespan of 7 hours -- immune defenses

Eosinophil -- lifespan of 8 to 12 days -- defense against parasites

Basophil -- lifespan of a few hours to a few days -- inflammatory response

Monocytes -- lifespan of 3 days -- immune surveillance

B-lymphocyte -- may live for many years -- antibody production

T-lymphocyte -- may live for many years -- cellular immune response

Logging this for notes. And I don’t want it to take up space on my iPad so.

I am definitely not built for cold and it's 2°C as of now, suffice to say, it's absolutely hard to function properly let alone Study, but I'm doing all I can. The future me is going to be thankful!

Here's some random photos of my notes

My microbiology notebook is a colorful place. And my Anatomy/physiology notes are filled with sperm wizards and aliens. This is what happens when my pain meds wear off on the middle of lecture and my joints start to scream!

What would its pee even be like anyway? I know it's probably weird to ask but now I am curious. I know you flesh things out and enjoy worldbuilding so it's a legitimate question!

lmao you have me pinned, Anon, with my obcessive lore and worldbuilding.

And yeah, that ask got me wondering too! So... Yugoth's internal biological systems work differently than any normal creature. It is an eldritch fungus, and it's connected to the Sculk around it. It is able to allow the sculk to summon animated creatures to protect the growth, this being the wardens you encounter in game, this particular one is the one in control of all of it. This, in fact, is a big reason it puts the goop in Tiavel's mane, since those composites attack intruders. The goop makes Tiavel smell like part of the sculk and warden itself so if any of them are awakened, Tiavel isn't hurt. They take Yugoth's energy to maintain, however, so it generally keeps that inactive. Barely anything goes down there to the ancient ruins, so it sees no point.

Tangeant aside, it is omnivorous with an herbivorous tendency. It is able to eat meat, but it must be starting to decay or cooked. It also eats bone, though digests this much more slowly. A fun side effect of this is that Yugoth could swallow a small creature that passed away, digest the meat, and cough up the clean bones if it does that soon enough. It would be like an owl pellet or hairball. Not that it has any reason to do that, but it's possible! The bone from whatever it eats gets integrated with the boney growths on its shoulders and down its back, as well as its claws and teeth.

Being a fungal creature, it does need water. It drinks quite a bit. It helps it digest, and helps keep it healthy and comfortable. Yugoth wouldn't do well in dry heat, and would need to be around fresh water. Salt water would not work for it, too much salt would make it really sick or even kill it.

Like any creature, not everything it ingests is broken down fully, and anything that doesn't get used is passed out the other end. Its body is quite efficient so what is passed is actually mostly odorless (Might have an odd fungal or moldy smell, but wouldn't smell like the poop of a normal creature... This remains true even if it eats a bunch of rotting flesh from zombies it attacks), but also has a lot of micro-nutrients for the soil. The reason it likes bread is that it’s very easy to break down, but Yugoth also quite enjoys rotting wood. This is another part of why it drinks so much, makes the wood wet in its system, allowing it to break it down effectively. It can not eat fresh wood, it must be dead and rotting. Yugoth's saliva actually has a powerful antibiotic property to it. Even dangerous stuff found in rotting flesh doesn't effect it. The side effect of this is that its saliva can actually completely get rid of infection, so if you know a warden and it doesn't hate you and you get hurt, it can lick your wounds and keep them from getting infected.

And, FINALLY… on to your actual question. It drinks a lot of water, which helps it digest, especially when it eats things that are dry and thus… it pees frequently. It’s clear blue in color, and actually has a glow to it, though this fades within a few hours. If you find part of the ground glowing near the ancient city, well, that’s what it is. xD

It functions to clear out metabolites and anything Yugoth’s body doesn’t need and to pass excess water, but it also serves a territorial purpose. The pee would have a very strong, and very distinct, smell but it wouldn’t be anything like a normal animal’s pee. The smell would be hard to describe, not particularly pleasant but also not particularly unpleasant. Just strange and very different. It’d be something that you’d easily recognize once you’ve smelled it once. A unique thing about it is there’d be no breaking down into ammonia and other toxic materials. It’d just break down into water and inert minerals, meaning that there’d be absolutely no contamination of the area around it. In fact, having Yugoth around would be incredibly beneficial if you could get it to not want to sonic shriek you into the stratosphere, because it can eat stuff that would be unsafe, break it down, and basically pass plant fertilizer out the other end. A living composter that smells like a crushed mushroom.

Yugoth actively hunts creepers. They are moss creatures, and it will lure them closer, then Sonic Shriek them to death. Drag them near its nest, wait for them to begin to decay, and then eat them. This could, even, be a way for you to avoid getting attacked if you want to interact with it. Lure a creeper towards Yugoth and let it kill it. Yugoth is sapient, capable of logic, emotion and reasoning so it’d be smart enough to realize you are useful. The earmuff Tiavel made it have had a calming effect on it because with them on it is in a lot less pain, and thus less angry. It’ll still be hostile until Tiavel calms it down, but it’s not as quick to attack, and is more likely to observe for a bit, and attack if you do anything that angers it.

Notes (for me) on how I draw Fake Peppino

Fake Peppino is WONKY to draw, and I think I made it more complicated for myself really- but I like the design I did so Imma gonna keep it either way 🤷‍♀️

Hope you like the “anatomy”, I think I’ll call it that?

Also I forgot to mention that I made his height 10 foot 7 (10’7), which is really tall- and I don’t know why I did that- 😭💀

[soapstudiess]

Trying digital notes for the first time :) it is quickly stealing my heart 💗

[joowee-feftynn]

i may not draw slugcats exactly like they are in game but have these little notes on how i personally like to draw them! i base them off of rats and a few mustelid species so they're definitely not slug nor cat. Hope it helps :D

heyo does anyone have any advice for drawing the scugs? i am absolutely AWFUL at it and i really want to get better!!

can’t believe i was a warrior cats kid and i cant even draw catlike creatures this is a disgrace /j

Here are now my notes on the lower body muscles so you artists don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles

You totally should do the last exercise to understand how they come together

Here are my notes on the upper body muscles

Cell Junctions

-- there are three types of junctions:      -- tight      -- desmosome      -- gap

-- tight junctions seal epithelial cells to one another

-- desmosomes have “spotted” seals, where keratin filaments anchor the two cells

-- gap junctions have channels to allow the passage of ions and molecules

Hey Hi Hello!! Apologies for not posting for a while, I had my internal exams last week and they went better than I expected. Now, I just have to prepare for the Actual exams that will be held in July. Super Excited and Nervous 💗
