#dino hunt

[procrastinatorproject]

For the WIP Folder Game. First of all, how do you expect me to choose one? After much deliberation, I narrowed it down to "Calluses" and "Dino Hunt" 😁

It is wild to me with what kind of precision all of you are picking these stories :D @jazzfic managed to zero in on the one Agnebal snippet, you picked the two fics that aren't even in the same list but are actually closely connected... I love it so much!

So, those two stories were originally inspired by @regionalpancake. I think I was feeling very bad at the time (a couple years back) and asked for prompts for holo-stories I could write. Pancakes came in with "Calluses", "no you stop it!" and "DINOSAURS!". And because the brain was in a bad place, I never ended up really doing much with it, but I do still have two bits of fic in my wip folder based on those prompts.

For the dino story, I only have one paragraph.

The insect looked similar to the stickflies that bred in the southern swamps on Vashti during the harvest months. They swarmed the fields once the drones and workers left, and feasted on the husks and straw left in the sandy earth. As a child, Elnor would sometimes ask Zani to let him walk down to the hill overlooking the monastery’s grain fields after dinner, so he could listen to their songs. Stickflies made the most tantilizing music by rubbing their five pairs of iridescent wings together. This specimen did not make music with its wings, maybe because it only had four, but it hummed a gently oscillating tone as it approached.

Well, one paragraph and one sentence. I think the idea was that there has been some holodeck malfunction and a bunch of terrifying prehistoric creatures have broken free and taken over La Sirena (given that she has holo-emitters throughout). And Elnor and the others are trying to round them up and herd them back into the holodeck before someone gets hurt. But alas, I don't have any additional notes here.

As for calluses, I have a few hundred words of dialogue between Ian and Soji. But I actually really like the notes I wrote underneath, so I'm gonna share those! (The square brackets are how I mark notes where a story isn't written out but I only have bits of summary)

[The holos, as many computers are want to do, build heuristics to do certain tasks more quickly. These connections get strengthened and over time, they form a map of sorts, that will show you what they do often, the same way calluses might for humans. Emmet likes to externalize many of his internal structures, similar to the way the captain likes to keep his scars. For the captain, it’s partially self-neglect, but it’s also a way to know where he’s been and keep a record of things that have happened and that were real. For Emmet, it’s absolutely the latter. [Soji has been thinking about externalizing some of her memories. Memories of Dahj, of childhood adventures. Dahj had a scar on her ankle that Soji remembers being from a kayaking trip they went on in the Pudget Sound. They rescued some wild animal — Dahj always loved animals! Soji knows the story is fake and the scar was fake and it’s all very frustrating, but she would like some kind of permanent reminder of the things she has accomplished and the past she has lived] [Ian suggests that Emil would probably be very pissed if Soji hurt herself to get some kind of cosmetic scar. But maybe she can talk to Emmet about getting a tattoo. As for calluses to show what she has accomplished: her brain is a map of all the things that have defined her. Dahj has left a mark there, and she can choose to express this in a myriad of small ways. And whichever one she chooses, Ian will help her get there.]

I feel like this is extremely on brand for me: thinking A Lot about how the holos function on a technological level and what that means for them as people. And also thinking and writing about Soji's relationship with Dahj and her manufactured past and memories. There's so much there there, and I really want to explore that more in the future!

(I cannot get over how you managed to pick these two, out of the dozen wip titles in that list 🤣 Absolutely brilliant! And thank you so much for the opportunity to dig through some old stories and reread my own writing. It's a real joy to do this kind of personal archaeology!)

Also: I had completely forgotten that there was a third prompt, too! I might have to create another WIP jut to make a note of that. Maybe it'll give me some inspiration 🤔

I'm still very happy to answer questions or post snippets of the many things in my WIP folder :D Here's the original list of titles if you want to see what's available!

More Dino Care Attendant au concepts

Plot twist humans are the ones in enclosures at this park, thankfully they have the DCA to bring some Dino’s to them! Other than that visitors are welcome to observe the animals in their (relatively) natural habitat from inside the safety of the glass walls.

Did you really think I wasn't going to inflict a dreadful colour scheme on him?

HMM sending you “We can’t let him find out!” + hunting dogs :)

HUNTING DOGSS <333 uhm i was thinking about the bsd kindergarten and being sad we don't have canon hunting puppies so i babied them

"We can't let him find out!" Teruko crosses her arms, pouting at the others. Jouno looks unamused, yet is nibbling on their stolen cookie regardless as they reply, "How are we meant to hide the lack of cookies?" "We make fake ones," Tetchou says very seriously, arms crossed. "That's stupid, Tetchou." Jouno replies, nibbling more angrily on the cookie. "Maybe we hide that there were cookies at alll.." Tachihara eyes a window. "But we can't reach up there." Tetchou glances at him. "Well if he finds out we're all gonna be in trouble!" Teruko whines, "So you all better start coming up with better ide-" "Find out what?" Fukuchi's voice interrupts from behind them.

Redesigned the way I draw Rocket, just for fun, with a few of the other Guardians media as inspiration!

Last time I had the time to figure out how I wanted to draw 'im was a few years ago lolol so he needed a bit of an upgrade.

Also, I did some more sketches to try and get used to/figure out how I want to draw him. So, full canvas below!

This is specifically pre/during GOTG 1 Rocket because I'm way too ambitious for my own good and am like "Yeah, I'll totally illustrate my fic!" I'll probably just end up making a cover, if at all, bc my semester starts the day after tomorrow TT<TT.

Well, that, and I just want to have a way to differentiate at which point in the timeline he's at, generally, because I love character development and want to poke him with a stick before and after all of his arcs. <3

living part of my fantasies of being a tree dweller in a snowy region through gw2's first person camera.. its nowhere as good as id wish obviously but its better than nothing. the snowy regions were what made me go back after losing interest like a year ago, fun fact

We got on N&A yesterday and made our Extinction base!

It's small, it's just an outpost so we don't need something huge. Might still make a bio-grinder just to restock kibble if we really need it, though it's not that hard to just hop back home and bring some back so Idk.

Found a couple puppers while farming building mats and I had kibble on me so I grabbed them both. And then we went poking around after finishing the build, and Kel found the cutest gasbag. I'd left the kibble at the base so had to run back, and a meteor storm started right before she finished taming so it was kinda stressful but we got her safe and sound, obviously. \o/

I went back today and found some girl doggos to join the boys, then went hunting snow owls. My longneck is stupid so that + shocking darts meant I was one-shot KO-ing them, which was probably more amusing than it should be. XD

Got our high stats on 3 of the birds so the other two are free to use, I'm currently finishing our turtles and gigantoraptors so I'll get them started once we have more space free.

Ok so my last posts did GREAT (I love you all, fellow Simpos- Seeing other people go feral for this silly little man brings me JOY)

Sooooo, idk how many of you have one (ingame) BUT feel free to add/use my Absolutely Cracked™ Sampo

(UID/Info under the cut so I can ramble about he)

UID: 613736119

Also NOTE: My Trailblaze level COULD be higher but I'm waiting to do the next Equilibrium until I build up a few more characters, lmao)

But yea like- my man has - Max Traces - Max Eidolons - Mostly BiS for Relics (May EVENTUALLY tweak some but like he's doing FANTASTIC rn/relic grinding is annoying/I gotta level other characters too lmao) - Pretty good Light Cone (His really pretty 4* one) (I'll switch it once I acTUALLY GET A 5* NIHLITY CONE)

Here are the stats for My Boy rn if anyone's curious

Lmao so many people write off 4* characters but like?? He does so well in my party?? I legit couldn't imagine my party w/out him and I only take him out of the party if absolutely necessary tbh- (Plus he does get a LOT of use in my support slot because most of the support window is just filled w/ whoever the Newest 5* is and like. Sometimes you just need this silly little guy to help out-) <3
