StarsAligned AU braindump,,,,, thinking about this AU:3

(Again, I'll continue to say this, the og AU is made by @scribble0rat . This is my version of the AU)

.

Okay. I've been working on the biology and the diet a lot. But I've been re-reading/reading some pictures I have gotten for world building. And I've been trying to understand the body of bats and (I suppose) hedgehogs (but I might change the animals!)

I'll be talking about diets, since that will be around the biology of the species: Selíternãmiss. But I'm also thinking of talking about Comet's mentality and such (he is,,, I did kinda talk about his problems and all, I think?) (I'll interchange with Comet and Blackberry, since I bet there's a lot of characters called Comet— so yeah)

But first!

Biology of the species!; First of all. I'll be using arctic animals, as the approach for the Selíternãmisses. They lives on the moon, and the moon is very fucking cold; “Temperatures near the Moon's equator can spike to 250°F (121°C) in daylight, then plummet after nightfall to -208°F (-133°C).” but the whole that, in the old it was said to us, that he never saw the Sun; so in short, im thinking that the rest of his kind, also never saw the Sun. They had to make due with their own light that they produced from the Master Emerald— which also provided for their own fire/fire (without their own body to provide their own body heat, yk?).

Coming from ectotherms(the M.E being their "Sun"; heat from the Sun- ecto; outside) to endotherms(ndo; inside)— once the Master Emerald was taken back to the Echidnas due to (whatever reason; maybe when the echidnas have noticed something wrong with the M.E? Smth smth, maybe similar to what I said in a previous post about StarsAligned?)

Maybe living on their moon would be more similar to the Ice Age? The bigger the Selíter, the more "wooly mammoth" they are? I don't know. That idea just came to me-

Besides that though. Embarrassingly, I'm taking inspiration from Omegaverse (Orphic had it, and well- it's nice-! In the way that the author executed it. It's very interesting to me too... But it also helped in many ways! Just wanna say that). So- yeah. There's that, which can explain the intersex choice; but I will be trying to do it, right-! (Won't be the best though). I'll do my research for it all.

Anyways. That also leads me to talk about the diet! I've been meaning to talk about that part for a long time, actually.

And so, I'll do just that—

Diet is a mix of the spotted bat and hedgehog. But I think, I'll have more emphases on meat, yk? Or maybe, not really since both herbivores and carnivores can survive well in the winter(cold weather) (well, without some changes to what they do in the winter; herbs having a changed digestive system to eat bark, and such. carnis eating on dead bodies/etc. but I think the carnis survive more well in the winter).

I think, though, that they would mainly eat very small animals; bugs and such. To survive. If small "spark demons" can give them energy(spiritual energy), then small bugs can give them energy(for the body). They wouldn't really eat berries and fruits all that much I think.

They need energy, and they need it in a bigger size (bugs for small wild animals) to survive the days (nights?)

Which makes me go back to the biology of the Selíternãmisses. To live in the dark, they either do echolocation or they have good eye sight. Maybe both though.

But I'll probably go with night vision moreso.

And just an idea for the whole diet thing, if ever to go south (which it will, unfortunately). Oh! Before I go and talk about how I have changed some characters that will be inspirations for Blackberry and how he does things, I wanna talk about another thing for the diet and biology; I'm thinking of giving them tusks (from the lower jaw, instead of fangs from the upper jaw. I dunno I just think that tusks would be cool, and with the way it helps some of the animals that I've looked up? Yeah. I think tusks would work for them, but maybe I'll go with both again? I dunno which works well-well though)

Now. Imma say the characters that are going to help me from now on with Comet and the Selíternãmisses;

Horror sans by Sour-Apple-Studios! (he's actually a big help in this,, in some way he helped me with the whole diet and the approach i want to do with Selíternãmisses)

I think that's the only change? Imma keep Silver, Rouge, Gallerian and other characters that I've chosen to help me with Comet. I'm just adding Horror sans, cuz I can and I honestly think it would work in very morbid ways and well- I mean. Comet's whole deal of being the last of his kind, having no memories, and dealing with damage that could at least leave him screaming (but he doesn't!), and then getting small flashbacks of... What I think is fire; the reason why he's the last of his kind. I wouldn't really hold back on how crazy his life would be in a 'sickly peaceful environment' (it's all gone, except anything that is weirdly clean. Everything that made him, him, is gone. His family, and everything. His planet might've been- practically ruined! The animals, the food, etc. I wouldn't pass cannibalism)
