@somerandomdudelmao inspired me to actually do something with my own alien idea from... idk early highschool? Regardless, thank you so much!!!

ANYWAYS: Here's the Zedini race (Zed-ie-nye), hailing from the shallow aquatic world of "Planet" (that's how the name translates from their movement language) that has been dubbed "Shallow Waters" by otherworlders. They're massive and a major aspect of their culture is brawling, so "getting along" is a bit complicated for most species. fan thing: Grimmia (big orange mf) is the Root of a group of Zedini that have allied with Eliptica for the sake of trade and Not Getting eaten (being mostly bone and cartilage makes for a gross and unsatisfying meal, and being able to successfully cultivate a renewable fuel source has its benefits. So what if you had to sacrifice one of your kin for the planet-bone-shaper (Sculptor) to learn from)

kinda wanna expand on these guys :P

What are some Clanmew words for moss?

The generic word for moss is simply Fum. Usually this is referring to the helpful sorts of moss they use by default.

And so it's helpful that the most useful type of moss is also the most common. That's;

Cypress-leaved Plait-Moss (Hypnum cupressiforme) = Pafum

The word is mostly broken out when an apprentice brings back a big, dirty clod of a different type of moss. Otherwise, everyone knows it means 'pafum.' Pafum is soft, useful, and good to lay on.

Sneezecloud is SUPER allergic to pafum. He has to collect his own bedding because if he doesn't, he gets really sick and can't get a good night's sleep. Apprentices cannot gather his moss for him, because they will inevitably bring back pafum and he will Suffer.

Though, because the alternative moss isn't nearly as good... usually he just finds other soft things.

Bank Haircap Moss (Polytrichum formosum) = Mwafum

Not quite as soft as Pafum, but it doesn't set off Sneezecloud's allergy so he'll collect it in a bind. Usually, he likes to scatter other, softer things on top of it, so the Mwafum acts as 'padding' but isn't that he's in contact with when he sleeps.

Grimmia (Grimmia pulvinata, and various) = Benum

Various small species which create clusters instead of big blankets, of which Grimmia is the most recognizable. Usually not fluffy enough to fill a nest, unless you take the extra time to collect LOTS of it.

Say hello to my newest brainrot: Baldur's Gate 3 and my druid Grimmia. But can you blame me? Look at that cute beardy babe! Playing a goody two-shoe hero so Astarion is constantly bitching about how boring I am, but most of the others like me.

It's oct 7 and I've only made my coworkers watch... five six scary movies. I'm slacking.

For context, last year, Wiener (not her real name) and I watched all of the Halloweens, House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, and 3 From Hell.

I do have a letterboxd (grimmia on there idk how it works tbh), but I think this year I'm gonna chronicle our adventure here.

I can’t say much about her because I don’t want to spoil my own story but all you need to know now is that she’s a goddesses with no conscience 

[feathers-ruffled]

Grimmia De Lotte, 25

Ash’s now best friend and “companion”. When Ash transferred to a campus, Grimmia was the only one who could stand being around her. She didn’t have many friends to begin with, most people found her very odd and a little off putting. Ash took a liking to her and “decided” they should become friends. Grimmia not really caring what others did or thought, decided to go along for the ride. Even though deep down she enjoys the company, you couldn’t tell what she was feeling because of her constant boring attitude.  She likes collecting cute and spooky things and never goes anywhere without her ghost backpack.

Grimmia is practically the only person that can put up with Ash’s attitude. This comes from her somewhat pompous and mono personality. She has the incredible ability to keep weirdly calm in any situation which makes her a good voice of reason.
