#asked the Sphinx

[askshivanulegacy]

Something something about strikes on public infrastructure and emergency services

Something something about real life victims who are left in real need of services that are denied that have no substitute

Something something about Tumblr's obsessive morally right crusade for strikes and if you're hurt by them or dare to be opposed or angry, then you're the enemy

Something something about rights and needs existing in fundamental opposition, and something about that being the literal nature of conflict and war

Anyway, I just want Tumblr to recognize that there's no single perfectly moral and "right" side to a lot of pet causes. Actual reality is full of unresolvable disagreements and people are going to fight for self-interest, and they're going to be forced to fight for self-interest. And they're going to be right by their own accounts and wrong by others.

And maybe it's ok, or maybe it isn't, but it's necessary and it's reality and it would be nice if everyone finally realized the world is gray and actions have consequences, and crusaders looked the consequences in the eye and acknowledge what they choose, deliberately, to do at the cost of others.

What do you think of my FREAK wings of fire sphinx

I have almost never seen anybody make a sphinx in wings of fire and I really wanted to try, so I did this guy! Still not really sure on names yet though.

Question. Since monster falls au Stan and Ford have tails, do they wag when they're happy??

I dunno i just think that would be cute </3

I can't actually imagine them wagging their tails due to excitement/happiness. Irritation/annoyance and anxiety on the other hand...

Slowly and surely I will post about Somninauts! Slowly! We'll get there! Have some Milla and Sasha and Sashamilla for the AU as a treat ^^

-+-

Somninauts is an AU where everything about the story is relatively the same, but instead of the genre being science fiction psychics, it's an urban fantasy world of strange monsters and magic that fuels the underlying mystic world~

(Essentially it's my excuse to do magic system worldbuilding) (while also making my favs into cool creatures)

It's called Somninauts because instead of the Psychonauts exploring the mental world, the Somninauts are dream hoppers who explore different dreams ^^

Your cute sphinx story popped up while I was taking a break in the middle of cleaning out my book collection. I feel so bad for the poor thing. That had to be soooo scary. I swear I’d want to make it up to her that some humans were assholes to her.

So because I was sorting through 1,000 books to make room on the best bookshelf for Moth and the Bear, my immediate random thought was…Maybe if she likes books I could give her two crate loads at the very edge of the territory (to make a safe escape) and a letter saying “Sorry other humans were awful to you, hope you enjoy these as you deserve an act of kindness”

In summary, poor kitty. I have extra books as I make room for recently acquired awesome ones on the shelf so I should share.

Ciph will... consider.

So what's Ford's motivation of research in your Monster Falls au? Is he fascinated by humans and wants to study them without bias? Does he want to publish a paler that would make monsters consider coming out of hiding? Are they even from the same dimension??? What would this au's version of Weirdmageddon look like?

HEHE SO- Ford's motivation:

Ford’s motive for research is similar to the original–he wants to document the weird and the unknown. Even as monsters, I can imagine there’s ALOT that has yet to be discovered–I can imagine Ford is also just rlly into that stuff in gen! He ofc still has the journals, tho they are ofc gonna differ slightly in content cuz some of the stuff in the Journals would already be ‘normal’ occurrences/creatures in his everyday life

Is he fascinated by humans and wants to study them without bias?

Yes and no. He is indeed fascinated with humans, but he’s smart enough to not barge into human settlements. The only reason Ford ended up trusting Bill is because Bill, surprisingly, nursed him back to health when Ford stepped into a trap (which may or may not have been a trap Bill had set up lol). Ford decided that humans couldn’t be THAT bad if Bill had helped him (he was incredibly wrong). Thus, he started feeling comfortable enough to ask questions, draw humans, write them down in his journals, etc. So yeah but also, it wasn't his initial plan--he is indeed incredibly fascinated in them, but part of it was also because the human he was researching was also Bill Does he want to publish a paper that would make monsters consider coming out of hiding?

Kind of!! Not exactly a paper, but he wanted monsters and humans to work together instead of being fearful of each other. He saw how Bill and himself worked and he thought; 'why were we so afraid of humans?' Ford and Bill, instead of working on the portal, were trying to figure out a way for humans to find / cross the barrier protecting Gravity Falls.

Are they even from the same dimension???

Yes!! In my version, Gravity Falls is a town of monsters w/ a barrier protecting them from humans. It's impossible for human to find the town on their own (if a human tries finding it, even with directions, they'll end up walking in circles and never finding it), and they’re also unable to cross it even if they DO find it. They found this out when Ford insisted that he come to Gravity Falls, so that they could go further into their research (Bill at this time, offered to help, and has been helping Ford with his journals and research); with Ford’s guidance, Bill ‘found’ Gravity Falls. However, it quickly became apparent that while Ford could step through this barrier, Bill could not. The next part of the research is like I had said before, trying to make Gravity Falls accessible to humans.

What would this au's version of Weirdmageddon look like?

HEHE basically a free for all hunting ground!! I’d imagine that Bill’s Henchmaniacs are also humans, and also monster hunters :3 They get free rein of a town FULL of the thing they hunt, what else do u think they're gonna do? /silly

I'm still tweaking a lot of the smaller things (and... a lot of other plot points) but that's basically around what I have :D Ty for asking this, this was so fun to answer <33 if anyone else has more questions, or ideas, defo send an ask >:D

Sphinxes are crafty the same way that coyotes or bears are crafty. Their cleverness shouldn't be underestimated, yes, but they're not going to win any battles of wits against something like a corvid or a parrot.

Hello its me again! found this female at work one morning Google kept telling me it was some kind of regal moth but didn't specify

Thought I ask you on this have a nice evening/night

Hi, friend! I think this lovely creature is a Syssphinx bicolor or Honey Locust Moth! I’m not terribly familiar with moths, not as much as beetles, anyway. So I had to do a tiny bit of digging, but it was fun!

Thank you for asking, I love these messages! Hope you also have a wonderful night!💖
