So brief explanation on how the mermaid to human transformation works

It’s not an ability all merfolk posses, and must be given to them by the elders. They can transform to a human at will while on land, and a to a mermaid while in non-sea water. However, they will be forcibly transformed back into a mermaid if they touch sea water, and must water 1 hour on land before het can transform back.

Little Wolves is crowdfunding NOW!

It's finally here, y'all! The crowdfunding campaign for our tabletop RPG of folk tales, fae queens, and werewolves is live on Backerkit~

Support our work here!

From the award-winning publisher behind Motel Spooky-Nine, You’re In Space And Everything’s Fucked, Dinocar and more, Little Wolves is a tabletop role-playing game about adventuring through a realm of folk & fae as shapeshifting werewolves.

In Little Wolves, you’ll craft real-world paper masks that represent their characters, modifying them over the course of their adventures to reflect the marks their experiences leave on them while transforming between your Wolf and Mortal forms!

The crowdfunding campaign aims to bring the game’s vivid world to life in an 8.5” x 8.5” full-color perfect bound book loaded with gorgeous art from a team of 4 artists accompanying setting & mechanics from award-winning designers Julie-Anne Muñoz and Nevyn Holmes. 

The crowdfunding campaign launches May 14th, running through June 11th, 12pm US Central with an initial funding goal of $19,500 USD with plenty of stretch goals to unlock for more art, more content, and even an expansion!

Making masks & shifting forms

In your Wolf form, you have access to the benefits of your beastly Attributes, can sing magical Spellsongs, and can resist harm with your Resolve. In your Mortal form, you'll switch your Attributes, Spellsongs, and Resolve out for strong, flexible Mortal Powers that can turn the tide of any situation they're used in. Through character advancement, you can strengthen yourself as you see fit. Perhaps you favor one form over the other, or you may switch between them frequently. The choice is yours.

The Enchanted Forest

As you explore this dense forest you'll meet the powerful and mysterious Queens and aid them, and their courts, through all manner of quests and favors. As a werewolf, you're uniquely gifted in traversing the forest, capable of making it to every edge of the woods, meaning that only you can learn its deepest secrets.

✨ A free demo/quickstart for Little Wolves is available to download and play, get it here! ✨

ok, so elemental might be one of my favorite pixar movies of all time. and i want to talk abt it cause no one else will.

i don’t know what drew me in first. the fact that it was a love story which i was NOT expecting given the awkward vanilla mayonnaise way it was advertised. maybe it’s the fact that it’s a story about a child of immigrants first and foremost, a point that got me right in the chest.

Y’all i don’t know; it was the weird and amazing visuals, it was the relatability, it was the cute love story that didn’t feel forced or weird in the slightest.

it was funny, heartfelt and fucking adorable. i’ve never seen my story told through animation like this before in such a creative and articulate way (not the love part lol but the child of immigrants bit).

Respectfully, this movie had the worst fucking drop date in HISTORY. and i know it’s gonna flop. No one’s gonna give this the chance it deserves and pixar put zero energy into promoting this the way it needed to be knowing that it had atsv AND the little mermaid to compete with it.

All i ask is that you give it some love. I really think you’d like it

8.5/10

SPOILERS FOR "ELEMENTAL"

Okay so I just watched the new elemental movie and it made me realize something very interesting

Now, I'm not going to get into the plot or the side stories or the fact that movie is just OBSESSED with everyone's dad

What I'm here to talk about it the fact that this movie actually has the 2 main characters utter the words "I love you" to eachother and that got me thinking

I have NEVER once heard the love interests in a disney movie say those words. Like- NOT ONCE- Seriously!

Rapunzel and Flynn: Never said it just got married

Cinderella and the Prince: Never said it, just got married

Jasmine and Aladdin: Never said it, just got married (I have since been corrected!)

Sleeping beauty: Girly is literally in a coma for most of the movie

Snow white and Prince: Guy kisses a 12 year old's corpse, gets married to her and never says a word

And then there are the cases where one of them says it but they never once say it to eachother

Beauty and the beast: Belle says it while her man is literally dying, like–??? He says he loves her in a different scene but they don't say it to eachother

Ariel and Eric: She says she loves him to her father but Eric he never says it

Tiana and Naveen: She says she loves him he never says it back (he says he loves her in a different scene when she isn't there)

Hercules and Meg: Meg had a whole ass song about it but they never said it to eachother

And there's a bajillion other examples

This was just like a total culture shock to me. It's actually incredible that almost all the disney movies, which center around love and couples, never have the two characters who are MEANT TO BE TOGETHER say even a single "love ya shawty" "Aww radical, love ya too bb"

Thermus, the kingdom of fire. The merfolk build their settlements near hydrothermal vents, and are know as master craftsmen.

Undyne, the kingdom of water. It’s people prefer the open ocean, away from the shore, and have been at odds with surface folk for as long as any can remember.

Skyvail, the kingdom of air. It’s people(referred to as skymaids) have wings and live in the clouds, but still return to the sea every once in a while. They’re known to be flighty and care free.

Basalt, the kingdom of earth. Home to a warrior nation, and found within the seabed. Combat is part of their everyday life starting from infancy until death.

Moraid, the kingdom of electricity . Inhabited by eel folk, this kingdoms people are elusive and rarely scene. The generally inhabit ship wreaks, masquerading as ghost.

Lagoo, the kingdom of plants. Found within swamps and kelp forrest, these merfolk are in-tuned. with nature and enjoy a live of coexistence with it. However, they are ferocious when it comes to protecting their homes.

Fortshell, the kingdom of metal. Their settlements are found with underwater mountain ranges. Their technology is second to none in the merworld, and their strongholds are nearly impenetrable.

Artifridg, the kingdom of ice. Found with the Arctic circle, not much is known about this kingdom, as it’s people are isolationist.

Venamodium, the kingdom of poison, a lawless land found writhing deep sea canyons, it house a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Psyche, the kingdom of the mind. Found in coral reefs, this is deeply religious state, the people giving praise to ocean mother. While some sections of the kingdom are open minded, many are intolerant towards outsiders.

Luminarus, the kingdom of light. Often found near the shore, these merfolk are known more being pranksters, often pulling stuns(some not so harmless) on nearby humans.

Nightfall, the kingdom of shadow. Found with in the abyss, this is a gothic kingdom. Outsiders would find its inhabitants gloomy or eccentric, while they like their macabre home just fine.

Silvia Storm, one of my assimilagen (powerful entities that shapeshift by assimilating ‘gens’/traits from other creatures and things) characters :D

She’s something of a revamp of my sona from a LARP I did in elementary school we called ‘the fairy game.’ Silvia first spawned around and lived among humans, before discovering the Nubensis Sky Cities (an assimilagen settlement) and moving there. She has a close friend / companion / familiar; an elemental horse named Thunder (who was my companion in aforementioned RP, and my imaginary friend).

Silvia is a fairly amiable individual. Though she likes her alone time, she’s quite cheerful and enthusiastic (albeit a little awkward and anxious) in social situations, especially with those she’s befriended. She is careful (always doing her best to mind others and their sensibilities), compassionate, emotional, and sensitive (in multiple senses of the word).

She also has several main forms that correspond to her emotions; her “Windstorm” form is her default/neutral/happy form, but she has some notable others:

“Thunderstorm” (anger/hatred)

“Rainstorm” (sorrow/loneliness) and “Snowstorm” (apathy/numbness)

She also has a few forms for visiting other assimilagen worlds/settlements—though the only one I have drawn for her so far is “Seastorm,” a mermaid form for visiting the Coralnyan Islands Colony :3

I love her very.
