I think about tnmn. Again. Sigh

Weird talents Cross Guild have:

Buggy can tie a bow with his tongue. Not a simple knot, no. A perfect, pretty bow. It makes for a good party trick. (He refrains from reminding people that he can detach his tongue.)

Crocodile can read upside down and backwards, in normal speed, without trouble.

Mihawk can crochet. I know that's not a weird hobby but he can also kill someone with a crochet hook, which has to count for something.

Oh, if we’re talking about subtle hilarious SHOH moments… I always laugh at the scene during the briefing for Lockwood when Chase, Tallys, and MC are clowning Lavinet for sending such a huge cheque in the mail like “she’s SO naive lol we can cash this and she wouldn’t even be able to dispute it for weeks teeheee” and Shery is just like “…..is it naive for her to trust OFFICERS OF THE LAW not to swindle her??” and everyone just goes dead quiet.

Lol, I'd forgotten about that moment, thanks for remembering it for us! 😂😂 Sometimes the Shepherds are so chaotic that Shery--when she can forge past the excruciating experience of Being Seen--is the necessary moral compass that keeps them in check... the only one who can shame them...

The fact that Frank, a man who kidnaps kids and holds them for ransom, is one of the most morally sound characters in the series says a lot

i got invited into @skies-seas space headworld a while back and offered my beloved immortal space captain from spore 2008. and then it took me several months to finalize a design for them/their species

Captain Sondetten was once just a guy, but is now a spaceship puppeting around a clone of their old body. This is because they made the mistake of captaining the first expedition beyond their home star, and the first to encounter sapient alien life. Now they are not a person to the empire, they’re a living symbol progress and expansion and conquest and they can’t be allowed to die. So when they did, solutions were found. [more under readmore]

Several centuries later, Sondetten is still kicking. The same mind, more or less. They’ve accumulated so many memories that after a certain point, it was easier to transfer their mind into servers aboard their ship. Easier for the empire to maintain digital backups for when the ship is destroyed and needs to be rebuilt. Easier to filter out extraneous data that would only take up valuable space.

Son’s none too thrilled with their lot in life. Everything they do has political consequences that can make or break an alliance. Despite their influence they can’t do anything to change their situation. They don’t recognize the world they were born on. They can’t remember the names or faces of their countless dead friends. They’ve mostly stopped making friends, as no one else can understand fully what they’ve experienced. They’re a ghost haunting their own ship, which is more their true self now than the flesh they wear for the sake of being presentable.

In this shared setting, Son finally snapped and went rogue. They broke into a memory bank to hastily download a big file of that old ‘extraneous data’ (not a clean install, it’s not totally coherent or chronological but they’re glad to have the chance to invite old ghosts back in), then they made their exit and wrecked some shit on the way out, vanishing off to the other side of the galaxy. Son may have been a pacifist once but they’ve long since grown desensitized to violence.

There’s nothing stopping the empire from making another Sondetten, and becoming even more selective with what memories are returned to them to prevent this from happening again. But that’s a problem for that Sondetten, not this one. This Sondetten finally got away, and is for the first time in a long time somewhat mortal. They can make another body clone given enough time if the current one is killed, but if their ship is destroyed there will be no one to rebuild it and restore these memories. This Son will end if the ship dies, which is a novel experience.

In the meantime they’re trying to figure out how life works now in a place where they’re not being strangled by their own legacy. They arrive into the plot as just the ship with severe hull damage and some very atypical technology. They find themself put up as a grand prize to be won in some competition, which is not exactly what they were hoping for. They decide to play along for a time in hopes of getting free repairs, and only reveal themself as a sapient being when some folks try snooping into their memory servers or cloning process.

~ Anyway i made this species in spore in like 2012 or something? they were one of my main playthroughs and Sondetten is my go to when i’m playing the space stage :]

the original Maaydes + Sondie in game

i’ve been trying to draw/design the species but it took me sooooooo long to settle on what i wanted! the initial concept was marsupial + bird but it evolved past that. there’s plenty of thylacine in the jaw range of motion & general posture/body anatomy, but also some rodent proportions and upright posture. head cones from great crested grebe and austroraptor. wing anatomy and proportions are pterosaur, a single long digit supporting a membrane. with a wing covering of moth like scales. also a bit of pangolin but it’s more obvious on some subspecies than on Sond here

the idea is that the predecessors of this species had some kind of fur like covering, which over time changed into fused structures somewhere between a scale and a feather? they’re primarily equipped for insulation and ornamentation (colourful) but the wing scales help to provide lift, and there are larger variations that provide effective armour. stomach ‘plumage’ is more similar to the original ‘fur’

In honor of spooky month- remember that one idea of mine ft. Costa as a changeling as opposed to like… actually Spiro’s cousin? Yeah I’ve been scribbling for that a lot.

(more art/AU explanation below cut- tw for body horror/gore)

Basically the gist is Spiro didn’t actually know his cousin, but discovered Costa and decided to use him as a body double.

Costa is not his cousin. Costa never was his cousin.

‘Costa’ later resurfaces around the time Spiro is eventually released from prison- Spiro arrives at the Needle to find ‘he’ is already there. He sees ‘Costa’ and is immediately able to recognize him as not human (being the person it’s mimicking he can just kinda tell) and when Not-Spiro attacks him (as that is ultimately ‘Costa’s’ No.1 goal, to kill Spiro since that’s the only way to make its guise 100% accurate- kinda like ‘The Thing’), he flees.

And eventually he makes the connection between Artemis’s vanishing act (‘magic’) and his ‘fairy friends’, and assumes ‘Costa’ is one of those. So he goes there, Holly eventually gets involved as it’s essentially a fairy/human killing machine running loose in Chicago.

And yeah. It kinda spirals from there.

With Alien: Romulus now out, I'm reminded of my father reminiscing about watching the first Alien film in 1979, and how it was one of the few horror films he ever saw that actually terrified him and made him feel physically sick. Which, since he was a urological surgeon, is quite a feat.

Just turned down $50 because I found out the person who wanted to buy my old terrarium was gonna use it as a saltwater fish tank and I had to sit there, mourn the easy money on the tank I've been trying to get rid of for months, and break it to the buyer that I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to use for aquatics as, though it is water tight, the glass is thinner than aquarium standard because it was designed as a terrarium. And, though many people fill terrariums and use them as aquariums despite this, this particular terrarium has been used by one perviois owner before me, and saltwater is denser than freshwater.

And they were very appreciative that I was honest and warned them. I told them they could still buy it, if they wanted to take the risk, but they opted not to and honestly I'm glad bc if it DID burst or leak, that could have been injured fish or horrible water damage.

So like, it sucks that I'm out 50 bucks but it's at the alleviation of someone else's potential loss of HUNDREDS

"KPTS is bad because it's toxic" is still the worst take you can have and it's genuinely upsetting it's so widely spread on tiktok

watched Shadow Of A Doubt again and am once again living in the magic world in my head where Joseph Cotten got to play Norman Osborn way back when

yukako should have killed people on screen. karin too. the best thing you can give to kinda insane 16 year old anime girls is let them murder on screen its like enrichment to them

[eclipsecrowned]

i so dearly want to add my oc for a certain survival horror franchise but just. she's so mary sue. i love her dearly, she's been with me and revised a dozen times since middle school, but she's such a bad concept to present anywhere outside of discord with agreed upon lore with the trusted friends.

but then i think hey. i said that about the deschain siblings. so what did i do with them? why, i yote them into the fog with only token nods to their canon-breaking/hinges on an au origins.

i don't know if i'll do it but i am thinky about it.

[theaterism]

one similarity between foxtrot and his father is that they’ll both invent the wildest ways to rationalize some of their bad habits but with foxtrot it’s explaining why he doesn’t sleep sometimes and with nathaniel it’s explaining why he killed a man
