Erm hey I have an interest in and a basic understanding of cat genetics, so, I did the thresher fam + Tusk 👍👍

I had to make some changes, I make Ray genetically black but he still looks ginger, so he’s carneliannn. I don’t know how a cat with an ec got onto a middle of nowhere island and I’m not gonna think about it. Peace and love on planet Earth.

To make Sturgeon, Hake, and Urchin possible (cats who are genetically black and tabbys look brown (GENERALLY), it’s why they got the black stripes.) I made them smokes with ghost marks, very pretty kitties, they’re fundamentally the same.

Biggest change I’d say is I had to make Minke have a manx tail, so Trout can get her tail. Shes also a smoke, I figured it would be less noticeable on her than Thresher. Sorry Minkeeeee

I made Sturgeon, Hake, and Urchin ticked tabbies 👍 solid is epistatic to tabby patterns, so Thresher and Minke could have ANYTHING hiding under there, they can be ticked‼️

Sorry if this sounds like I’m trying to “correct” your characters, I HATE it when people do that, this is just for funsies yay

Wee cat genetics! While they are not an interest of mine, i still enjoy seeing folk try to make sense of fantasy genetics. The chart is very cool to look at, thank you!

say goodbye to your tail minke..

Hi do people care about Repo The Genetic Opera ocs

Cause this is one of mine named Amber (yes like Amber Sweet her parents named her after Ms. Sweet and my story takes place in 2090 so it's ok) and she's essentially hired to work alongside my Repoman ocs Ziro and his daughter Beau as like a secretary or whatever and she and Ziro immediately fall in love and she obsesses over him and I mean Beau likes her and sees her as a mom so it's ok yay happy family yay

She may have also been excuse to have a cool punk lady oc

When I drop aac au art and get people dropping a paragraph of text in my tags I look like this

[itsseriouslyridiculous]

I really hate how my physical body looks so so so much. unfortunately there isn't much I can do about it.

My biggest flex is that Hetalia has made me freakishly obsessed with geography. I’m beating the stupid American allegations because anime

Yeah, I did this instead of studying for chemistry 😎

Irl soapie name drop, who could’ve guessed soapie’s name was Sophia. There’s not correlations between the two names. (/j /j there’s like a million Sophia’s out there, idc if you know my irl first name)

Being an anthropology major is so fun. I learned a bit ago that light skin did not result from Homo Sapiens moving to Europe. The people who made those cave paintings had wavy hair, dark skin, and blue eyes. We got white skin when, wait for it, we started to settle down and do agriculture and fucked up our nourishment. We didn't get enough vitamin D in our diets and had to synthesize it. White people are not only a mutation. They came around cuz we were bad at growing healthy food.

today in adventures of being incredibly exhausted 24/7: eating is hard. I have no appetite and making food, even stuff like instant oatmeal or ramen or whatever, is too many spoons. I have a doctor's appointment at 5 so i have four and something hours to eat, preferably twice, practice my goddamned presentation again, and get ready to leave. ugh

i don't get biology at alll T-T

I joke about having Old Man energy all the time, but! Oh! I apparently need to do physical therapy for my knees.

Filling out a pain scale at the PT office and realized I may have said something wrong when I cheerily asked the receptionist what level she would consider a “not quite at crying, but you can’t have a proper conversation because the pain is so distracting.” and she looked very concerned.

Some changes have been made! Wanted her to look like even more of weird little runt

I assume anon doesn’t follow me, but I actually do check them if I come across one when I’m free! I take the sequence and enter it in nucleotide BLAST, using the experimental eukaryote library and selecting slightly similar sequences (blastn). You can do it pretty easily, it often takes under a minute.

I checked this post as an example, but selected the prokaryote library for results because the “closest match” (I know it was a joke) was bubonic plague, or Yersinia pestis (a bacterium). The closest match was 100% with Desulfurobacterium thermolithotrophum, which is a bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. (You can look it up, but also thermo + litho + troph = heat + stone + nutrition)

I use slightly similar sequences because sometimes the match is quite poor and looking for better matches often yields no results. But rest assured, hellsite genetics posts get randomly checked by another biology blog :D

Its funny to think that you could just lie about the genomes of each post. Who would bother to check?

String identified: t t t tat c t at t g ac t. t t cc?

Closest match: Bubonic plague guys trust me trust me guys
