[coolsvilleprincess]

Be goth, solve crime.

Birthing this Scooby Doo specific blog with fanart for Be Cool because I needed to draw their goth fits, they were simply too much of a vibe to not tbh

[cozystars]

last stuff of the year. i want to focus more on ocs going out and my brain seemed to want to do the same thing <3 ft. riley having a good day for once, n a meme i thought would be funnier with those three

[asmogorna]

Ok so for the last couple days ive been ill in the head about The Black Parade as mcr's alter ego/characters and i wanted to share some thoughts i had so far :3

It doesnt align with the canon lore that we have (i didnt really use it for reference at least) so it can be viewed as some sort of an au

I dont know if im gonna give them new names that just sound similar to the names of mcr themselves, so for now i will be referring to them by the names of the band members

So far I've been thinking about the typical "chosen by fate" scenario, where the characters lives lead them through a path for a specific cause

So

Post WW2 England

5 kids under their own circumstances witness a big parade (I will be doing some research and see if it could be some kind of victory celebration parade? It's just that I'm not sure if England had those. Not that I'm aiming for historical accuracy atp it's simple curiosity)

The kids get heavily impacted by that event and carry on (ha) that memory throughout their life

Now to the specifics of the characters cus by God they all gave me a headache

Heads up: they're all british orphans lol

Frank and Bob are students/residents in a Christian orphan school, and later on in life are priests in the town church

The reason why is that they both have badges on their uniform with crosses that could be associated with christianity

(I couldn't find any info about what exactly certain design details could be referencing, so ig it's up to interpretation)

The military theme in Gerard and Mikey's costumes will be explored on later (Mikey's medal could be either The Victoria Cross or The Distinguished Flying Cross, and the symbol on Gerard's shoulder is most likely the Order Of The Garter star)

And I couldn't figure out what to do w Ray, because I'm not sure if his uniform design details reference anything specific 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾

Now, Gerard and Mikey lost their father to war, and their mother passed away when they were both very young

And after that they ended up in the same orphanage as Ray, befriending him and finding out about their shared passion for music

This doodle was made abt that specifically <3

Later on in early adulthood they decide to start a cabaret band, in which Frank and Bob both join them later, deciding to leave their priest lives behind (partially because iirc both of them kinda fanboyed their way into the band irl lol)

After receiving little recognition, the band decides to take a train to America, to try their luck there. With a lot of hope and determination

That, sadly, doesn't last for long, for the train crushes with no survivors on board

The group crawls out of the collapsed train in their no longer physical forms. Yet, even after their death, they still have a desire to move forward. And that desire, though thoughtlessly, forces them to go forward. The souls of all the other people who lost their lives to the train accident follow them, through the landscape that no longer feels like earth

They then reach the end

Walking in one by one people disappear, finding their own peace and meeting their own finish line

After it's done, The Black Parade now have officially made themselves into what they're supposed to be. Gaining a new purpose and a new sort of life

I got too poetic for my own good here I fear .. anyway

Their job now is to lead the lost and the forgotten to the afterlife

They could be referred to as some kind of a grim reaper, I guess

I'm still thinking about adding more to the story, and maybe I will change some things, but so far this is all I can share really !! I hope if you've read this far you found this entertaining .. this is all for the satisfaction of my urges so I might or might not have too much fun w it in the future :3

The story was mainly inspired by this specific post from Gerard himself, because i liked the concept a lot ..

Also

She's gonna be here as a separate character too probably...... Cus I'm self indulgent and I love the ideas bubbling in my brain

//Hello!! Mod Whippy Creamy here coming at you with a hit new askblog!!

I’ve had this AU idea in my head for a while, but I’m just now finally doing something with it.

It is a pretty standard roleswap AU, but just to clarify some things:

This is NOT a personality swap. Characters may differ in their personalities, but any changes to personality are done only so the character can plausibly fit the “role” they’ve been swapped into.

Only the contestants have swapped roles! Outside characters like Cobs and Meeple products such as Mephone4 and Mepad have also not changed roles.

[UPDATE: ASKS TEMPORARILY CLOSED!!] Currently, every season 1-2 contestant is open to asks! Roleswap list here

I've never done a full breakdown of everything that happened to my version of Vincent while he was under the knife (although there is a partial breakdown from like 12 years ago on Ask Vincent Valentine), but @spinejackel tagged my recent Vincent doodle gushing about autopsy scar (Vincent Has a Y-Incision headcanon supremacy!) so I figured it was probably a good time. This is also probably the best method, since I can apply the right tags and trigger warnings to hopefully keep it from hitting the people who would be disturbed.

For anyone who doesn't know, figuring out the fucked up physiology of victims of science is like my entire jam. I think this is what happens when you let a chronically ill child watch Akira and the original Bubblegum Crisis OVA and most of the works of Masamune Shirow. All that before FF7 even existed. This means that the explanation under the cut may seem excessive, and this post is very long. I've been building it over over a quarter century, I don't think there's any avoiding it at this point.

Warnings for body horror, nonconsensual body modification, medical horror and torture. Basically, if there's anything you can think of related to becoming a victim of science under the rule of an unethical sci-fantasy oligarchy, it's probably in here to some degree. It's explained plainly and simply, in clinical but not visceral detail.

My headcanons for what Hojo did to Vincent are pretty specific, albeit not precisely comprehensive; 27 years later I still don't really have a particularly solid concept for how he turned Vincent into a shapeshifter, although at least we know it's not something entirely specific to Vincent—Hojo repeated that facet of the experiment in Azul, but not in any other SOLDIER operative even in DeepGround, implying that it's only possible if very specific physiological conditions are met. The minimal concept I do have involves a twisted application of the concept of incarnate summoning as it appears in FFXIII-2, but it's very vague and also not the topic of this post. Maybe later.

Regarding the Y-incision/autopsy scar, my headcanon is that once Hojo tweaked Vincent into being able to regenerate from any injury—an enhancement that is confirmed to be entirely Hojo's work in Dirge—the professor of course felt it necessary to run various tests quantify the usefulness of his handiwork. He did this first by inflicting various surface injuries, then by causing more extreme bodily trauma, which eventually culminated in Hojo removing the majority of Vincent's internal organs in order to measure how long it took them to grow back and, assuming they did grow back, how the new ones compared to Vincent's original parts.

To be able to observe this as closely as possible, Hojo kept Vincent's torso open for the entire process—which he repeated twice more in order to check the weight, size and structure of the newly-grown organs in comparison to the originals. This study proved that most of them did grow back, but the majority of them stopped developing much earlier than was appropriate for Vincent's age and size. The difference was consistent, Hojo just never figured out why most of them grew back smaller and less-developed.

The reason this happened is based the fact that most of the organs in the human trunk are used in digestion and other related processes, and Vincent's regeneration means he doesn't need to eat or drink anymore. His body only expended as much energy as was completely necessary to develop those organs to the point of being functional rather than normal, because they're not really necessary. Vincent is glad he still has them, though, because he does still occasionally eat (usually in social situations) and also he'd be really sad if he couldn't even have coffee.

Vincent's brain activity remained normal during the entire process, although that may have something to do with Hojo driving a bunch of fluid lines into his head and flooding the inside of his skull with mako to keep him awake the whole time even while deprived of oxygen. (Rebirth spoilers, but seeing the bit in the Nibelheim Protorelic questline where Hojo does something super similar to this, after this has been my headcanon for decades, was a trip.)

Two organs didn't grow back at all: Vincent's appendix and one kidney. This was also the result of efficient energy expenditure, as the human appendix isn't necessary for survival, and only one kidney is really required. (Each time Hojo removed the new kidney, the one that grew back would be on the opposite side, which bothered Hojo to no end.)

His lungs grew back a little larger, possibly because his skeletal structure never quite recovered after his first transformation into Galian—his arms and legs are noticeably too long for his body, although not to the point of looking impossible, and likewise his ribcage settled to breadth that would allow for larger lungs. He doesn't really need these anymore either, related to his brain being exposed to so much mako during the process that it can now operate without oxygen if necessary, but switching himself over from aerobic to anaerobic respiration is really unpleasant and Vincent tries to avoid it when he can.

His heart was pretty normal by the time Hojo was done with him, although his heartrate had dropped to like 20bpm even when elevated. Again, if respiration isn't necessary, there's not much reason for the system to be active. (By the time Lucrecia was done this had dropped to around 5bpm on average, although it's completely arrhythmic and jumps all over the place when he's not either particularly active or on the verge of a transformation.)

This was the experiment that left Vincent susceptible to degradation, which Hojo didn't realize until after finally closing him back up. Upon realizing that Vincent's body wasn't responding properly to a different test (a repetition of an earlier experiment related to the regeneration of external tissues and features), Hojo just kinda threw him in a tube to be disposed of at a later date, kinda like that scene in Arrested Development where there's that dead dove in a bag in the fridge. The incision healed at some point during the period that Lucrecia was working on him, but early enough in her work that the tissue couldn't flawlessly regenerate (like it does in the present), leaving him with one more gnarly scar on top of all the rest.

Vincent is self-conscious about all the physiological changes brought on by what was done to him, often to the point of loathing. His left arm is the worst—it rotted off while he was in the throes of degradation and grew back as something that he hesitates to call his arm—but Vincent hates that Y-incision scar almost as much. Some days they tie.

(It has come up in appropriately horrified conversation with Shalua that, considering how his regeneration works, Vincent could probably get rid of all the scars on his chest if he somehow peeled the skin off his torso in a single swath. He will not be doing that. Besides, it might grow back the wrong color/texture/etc, like his left arm. Not worth the risk, much less the suffering.)

Also I gotta finish off this entry with the extremely stupid headcanon reveal that Vincent's (honestly fairly impressive) dick was cut off during the first round of bodily trauma regeneration tests—and Hojo has never felt the sort of rage he experienced upon discovering that it grew back bigger than before. This occurred early enough in the experiments that Vincent was not awake for it, and thus has no idea how the fuck this happened, and does not want to talk about it ever thank you very much. I've never mentioned it in public anywhere because it is extremely stupid, but I hope someone out there finds it as funny a concept as I do.

@lotftober2024 day 10: headcanons !!!

the drawing is just ralph doodling :))

im very tired so few headcanons written, but i have lots so feel free to ask and ill probably answer them later 😇 (i fell asleep before posting this at 11pm help)

- Jack

his parents spent very little time with him, mainly leaving him with the church or with tutors

his parents could only express how disappointed they were in the fact jack became a "savage", rather than "acting like an english boy", and didnt care much if at all about the long-lasting effects and trauma the island caused him

jack is the way he is because of his parents.

he has never had any siblings, nor even met any of his extended family, but will forever feel like his ability to lead is an expectation, and he has no other choice to be a leader, otherwise he has no purpose in the group (basically canon but some people choose to ignore it...)

ralph was his unintentional gay awakening (/silly)

post-island jack was terrified of seeing ralph again because he'll never escape the guilt of almost killing him

Simon

selective mutism

was raised by his grandparents

modern-y simon would wear long naturey themed skirts (notbsure how to describe it

anemic

listens to his friends yap happily, and could talk/write about how much he loves and enjoys all of them and how different their personalities and perspectives on things are

genuinely enjoyed choir

Ralph

poor boy is severely traumatized.

based on a fix i read, but hes overly observant and paranoid about his surroundings, and cant handle pigs, spears, being chased (even in sports or playtime), and being snuck up on

refused to eat meat for months after getting off the island in fear it was pork

has frequent nightmares about the night simon died

wants to be angry and hate jack, but hes unfortunately aware that they were just kids, he heard the men on the television say it, they were all just a bunch of silly kids that decided to play war

his parents were never strictly religious, so he never really went to church

his first time in the church mightve been visiting the funeral/s for simon, piggy, and the mulberry boy

he isnt much of an artist, but more healed post-island ralph that's more amended with jack doodles them both in little stick figures

Roger

awful awful parents

parents are also why he is the way that he is

ended up in some form of foster care after the island

was forced into choir because his mom wanted him to do something she could brag about, but his dad thought it was the stupidest thing, and that he dhould be preparing himself to join the silly army like he did

used to absolutely adore christmas

hated choir for a while because his dad did, until it became a safe space

now he genuinely enjoys it

he really likes animals

feels genuine guilt for what he did to piggy, and felt sick in the moment of him doing it

[chemzee]

lil doodle of Morgan's Y4 appearance (or at least, his first appearance, which was during November-December)

ALSO!!! using this as an opportunity to post his updated lore. I didn't like his original lore at all, so I rewrote it practically from scratch.

It's going to be really long tho so here we go

✨🌙✨

Ok so I'll start off by saying Morgan's family is no longer cursed, nor are most of them dead, only Morgan being affected and not just randomly at some point of his life, but rather he was already born sickly (whenever it's somehow related with magic or some curse is still up for me to decide,but now, he's just a sick child whose illness (which is kinda fictional but resemblances anemia) while not terminal,does affect him quite a lot). I decided to get rid of that concept entirely and rewrite the dynamic Morgan has with his family, esp his uncle.

Other than scary, that experience was very isolating: he was sheltered all his life before going to Hogwarts, having absolutely no friends at all, which resulted in him developing no social skills at all. He wasn't particularly close to his family either, with perhaps an exception of his uncle, whowas more of his tutor/teacher.

Now, as I mentioned before, Morgan was born a very sickly child, having lots of heart and blood issues. He spent a good chunk of his childhood in bed and hospitals, constantly falling very ill, to the point of falling in coma/almost dying at least several times during that period of time. Fortunately, by the time he got into Hogwarts, his condition got manageable and he could live a relatively normal life, although he would often feel unwell, some days better, some days worse.

But being on verge of death so many times, especially as such a young child was a very scary and traumatizing experience for him, but a part of him grew accepting of death, coming to terms with the fact he probably won't live much shorter life compared to his peers (not talking about dying at 20-30, but rather ~50 now, a lil more if he gets lucky).

Whenever he wasn't in the hospital, he'd spent most of his time reading books, his favorite ones were horror novels and astronomy books, the later becoming a big interest of his. At around 8 years old, he started to write his own short stories, taking inspiration in the horror novels he read and they often were rather disturbing in nature. Or so his parents thought. He stopped sharing his writings with his family at some point bc he could tell they didn't like them much.

However, he does still live through the death of some of his relatives, witnessing one of them, which was of his uncle. After that, he started taking interest in necromancy (soon disappointed he can't really make someone truly alive again) and then it escalated to interest in dark arts in general. He'd read upon biographies of dark wizards and their crimes, but purely from theoretical standpoint. He found it interesting what pushes people to commit such terrible crimes.

When Morgan got to Hogwarts, his poor social skills didn't do him much good: he had a lot of troubles socializing, he was seen as weird and creepy, especially because of his interests. He had no friends there, being a "weird loner kid" throughout hus first few years there and even though he doesn't mind being alone due to being an intovert, he craved to find someone who'd understand him, somewhere to belong, a friend.

By the time of Y2/3, he came up wirh an idea of his own book: about a prisoner in Azkaban who reminisces his life, how from a kind-hearted teacher he became a dark arts user and necromancer. He started to do his research, especially about Azkaban and it's when he developed his strong distaste for the imprisonment system MoM imposed.

The more he researched, the more he was convinced on how nonsensical the system was: why lock up ALL criminals in the same place? Why lock up petty thieves, who perhaps only did that to support themselves due to economical issues with dangerous dark wizards, the worst kind of people on Earth? Why punish people who had no other choice so cruelly rather than help them? Why is there only one prison? Why not build rehabilitation centers? Why make people suffer for their crimes hoping they won't commit them again, rather than understand what pushed them to commit them in the first place and help prevent that from happening?

At some point, he approached one of Slytherin prefects, the one he knew was a son of a minister and aspired to become one day too, Joaquin Reedus, to ask him what he thought of idea of reforming the system to create rehabilitation centres for petty criminals, so they would have to stay in Azkaban of all places. Reedus was intrigued by this young boy and his idea and told him that he'll think about his proposal. And then, after a few days, decided to ask if he was interested in joining a group that opposes sone of ministry's ways (without mentioning the group's name).

Morgan, very young and naive, saw it as hid opportunity to find people who thought alike, people who would accept him, to find people he'd be able to call his friends. And so, he agreed.

The group was NOTME.

And unfortunately, that group was not as considerate as Morgan hoped they'd be.

[viperwhispered]

Alright since I've been enabled... (ty @bibi-cha and @scint1llat3)

Meet Emi Lind

(made with this here picrew, could do with some adjustments with her hair and stuff, but y’all get the idea)

This is soon after her first arriving to NRC and being admitted along with Grim. The uniform’s a bit baggy and ill-fitted (good luck getting clothes from an all boys school to fit on a plus sized girl / woman).

There’s a few alternative looks in my head as time goes on and I kinda touch on them in the post but maybe I’ll detail those another time. But there’s a bit of a symbolic journey to be had here, from out of place and uncomfortable to being unapologetically herself.

Like the comfortable in her skin version would be much more of a metalhead or even a bit of a goth (as much as the school dress code allows, I suppose. I'm still not used to school uniforms being a thing). Probably a long skirt (or dress) as well, or those pants with chains on them. Might even wear a corset on occasion. Definitely like a choker-style necklace and things, perhaps some dragon earrings and things (unless she feels awkward about it because a certain heir apparent).

General information

She definitely struggles, a lot, after finding herself in Twisted Wonderland. (Honestly I really need to think of how she’d make it through some the story beats, because I’m not sure how exactly I could see some of the canonical events suiting her.)

It doesn’t help that she’s frankly terrible at asking for help, and keeps on thinking she needs to handle everything herself.

To add insult to injury, she’s kinda used to cruising academically. Suddenly, she doesn’t have the background knowledge and basic information that everyone else has. She’s definitely cried in class (and is absolutely mortified about it) just because she’s not used to struggling so much.

Plus, like, add in the whole stress to adjusting to everything that’s going on, only having guys as her peers, and basically living by herself all of a sudden - and looking after Grim, too.

In general, she’s very much a planner and an (over)thinker and not exactly spontaneous. She’s also somewhat shy, and the new environment definitely has her withdrawing at first. On the other hand, she’s pretty trusting and idealistic - she’s not totally naive, but she does want to believe the best in people unless proven otherwise, and has generally been quite sheltered in that regard so far.

Despite seeming pretty meek at first, she can be pretty stubborn and set on things she’s decided. She’s also pretty protective and very much ready to defend those close to her. One of the easiest ways to make her angry (which, generally, is pretty rare) is to be unjust to someone she cares about. (Yes she absolutely wishes she could throw hands with some folks in Jamil's life later on.)

She does also love some good banter with people she’s familiar with, and ribbing is definitely a thing with her and adeuce once they get more comfortable with each other.

She’s very much a fiddler and pretty nimble with her hands. She’ll be doodling in class, playing with her pen, or just in general fidgeting with her fingers. At some point, she gets her hands on a skein of yarn and just finger crochets it over and over while studying etc., before getting some more proper tools and things later.

Relationships with some of the cast

She tends to get frustrated with Ace and but heads with him, but once they’re more familiar with each other, it’s very much a bantering kinda relationship.

Has a pretty positive view on Deuce, even if she does think he’s exactly not the sharpest.

Her relationship with Grim can be a bit strained and rocky at times. He’s very chaotic compared to how she likes to do things, and sometimes it gets exasperating almost like another NRC duo we know. It does take her some time to really warm up to him and for them to start understanding each other.

She appreciates Malleus seemingly being someone chill if a little eccentric. However, she has quite the crisis when she realizes who he is. In general, she very much does not know how to deal with royalty or rich people or anything like that, and feels very much like a country bumpkin (for as much as she can remember of her life before Twisted Wonderland). It doesn't help that she's used to being pretty casual with people, and suddenly she has hierarchies and polite forms of address to consider (somehow, it doesn't seem like the teachers here would appreciate being addressed by first name).

She’s wary of Riddle’s temper and tries to keep to the rules while at Heartslabyul. Gets along with the rest of the Heartslabyul gang pretty well tho, and does warm up to Riddle eventually. (There may be a small part of her hoping to get to show him up in something academic one day, even if that's a bit of a pipe dream. She's smart, but not that invested.)

In general, she tends to be unsettled by the more abrasive or loud members of the cast, especially when she’s freshly arrived and still settling in. (See Floyd, Sebek, but also for example Leona and Vil.)

There's definitely the potential for some country bumpkin bonding with Epel. (Also like, with the Finnish elements in the Harveston event, I do wonder if Epel talking of things from his hometown would nudge some things in Emi's memory or just be comfortingly familiar. The way she'd ascend getting some good rye bread and gravlax. Plus they could totally make oven pancakes together.

Jamil doesn't immediately catch her eye, it’s more of a gradual thing (with, uhhh, sure some bumps on the way, more on that in a bit).

Once someone is in her “bad graces”, she'll keep her distance if possible. Basically, if you don’t pass the vibe check, she’ll remember it.

Some story beats

Did I already mention that she struggles to adjust? Because she sure struggles to adjust.

Riddle’s overblot? A lot of shouting, not great, but at least she wasn’t too directly involved.

Leona? Yikes.

Azul, though. He personally came after her & hers, and she sure remembers that. (Octoboy has his work cut out for him if he’d rather stop getting the side eye.)

Before book 4 and the Christmas break, the mood is very much “I swear, if we get yet another crisis, I’ll wring whoever’s responsible”. She’s kinda just desperate for a break. In some ways she’s doing a little better - she actually has adeuce and some other people she actually knows and has gotten more comfortable with, yet in other ways she’s kinda hanging on by a thread with all these crises and things coming her way.

(Visually, as well, I’m thinking that her hair is dyed red. So at this point, it’s been a few months, her roots are definitely showing, but boy has she had other things to worry about than her hair. At least she’s acquired a few nice jewelry pieces / accessories to feel a bit more like herself despite everything. Still, things are not great.)

And then comes book 4 🙃 She gets to know Jamil a bit more, and feels like they’re getting along. Like, a sensible, reliable person in this mess of a school? At least there’s a hint of a silver lining with the whole kidnapping enforced stay.

And then the truth comes to light. Which… doesn’t exactly sit too well with her, for obvious reasons.

Like, I’ve got this vague idea in my head of her being all welp, she thought Azul was bad, suddenly someone else has taken the bottom (top?) spot of folks she’s distasteful of.

Like, not to say she’s wholly unsympathetic, but she sure ain’t chill about the whole thing either.

So, after book 4, she isn’t exactly in the best state.

Jamil, however, does want to fix his reputation, and Emi’s part of that.

So yeah, like I said, very much scattered thoughts at this point. (I mean, I’ve got a few more bits and bobs on like her personality and habits but this is probably plenty enough for one post.) A cookie to anyone who reads this whole thing tho.

Enigma [Modernity AU] (Bill/Ford)

Bill thinks about his junior, finding him very odd but he suffices that he doesn't really seem to mind. It's interesting.

A/N: A teensy drabble that randomly came out at me which I think perfectly encapsulates the BillFord dynamic at the current time the AU is taking place in. These two make me so ill at times LOL.

A/N: I was debating on making this a comic for this but realized I would probably take a stupid long time to do it soooo, have this drabble and I'll probably post a related art piece later.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

The words rolled off my tongue with a teasing edge, a playful barb aimed at the gaze I could feel drilling into me like a spotlight. Stanford always had this way of looking at me— like I was some kind of rare specimen under glass, something worth dissecting with those sharp eyes of his. I never understood it. I mean, come on, I’m not exactly what anyone would call a masterpiece.

And yet, his journals, notebooks, papers— they all told a different story. Pages were filled with sketches, doodles, and little studies of me. Always tucked between chemical diagrams and scribbled equations, like I was just another piece in the sea of mysteries dancing in his head. It was flattering in a weird way, like being someone’s favorite puzzle. A muse, of sorts I guess.

But that’s all we ever were. Just friends. At least, that’s what he always said. The idea never sat right with me. Friends don’t spend hours perfecting the way someone’s hair catches the light, do they? Friends don’t memorize every angle of a face like it’s the key to cracking the universe. Or maybe they do— what do I know?

Ford was a riddle like that. Six fingers wrapped around the most brilliant mind I’d ever encountered, and still, half the time I felt like he was written in a language I wasn’t fluent in. Easy enough to read on the surface, sure, but there was always something deeper. Something just out of reach.

I know him just as much as I don't.

What a puzzle you are, Stanford Pines.

"I’m not a good enough photographer."

He randomly said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I glanced up from the spaghetti-code mess I was untangling on the monitor and found him grinning at me, that boyish, lopsided grin that somehow managed to look both smug and genuinely warm. His eyes were on me again, studying, observing, like I was worth a second, third, and fourth look. Like I was something precious.

I’ll never understand it.

Not really.

And honestly? I’m not sure I even want to.

Featuring Bill and Ford from @gfthe-fearsome-foursome my blorbos I love them HAHAHA

Results time for Connecticut! Had a lot of difficulty choosing birds for this state, but I finally did it, and here we are one week later! Now, post Tumblr poll and, we've got our chosen candidate. So, Tumblr, which bird did you choose as the State Bird of the Constitution State?

...Uh oh.

SBI Elected State Bird of Connecticut: Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis)

Welp. We were bound to have a problem like this eventually, so it's better it happened on state number 5, rather than later. But, uh, yeah, Tumblr chose the Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis) for the State Bird of Connecticut. A bird named after the state because it was first seen there by Alexander Wilson. That said...allow me to quote my original post here.

No. Look, I'm just gonna say this now: no. The Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis) not only doesn't breed in the state (and possibly has never bred in the state), but it's pretty much not found there. Like, at all. This is not an easy warbler to get anywhere in its range in the US, but Connecticut isn't included in that distribution. "But lonelywretch," you scream at your computer screen, 'why is it called the Connecticut goddamn Warbler if it isn't even from the state?'...it's called the Connecticut Warbler because its describer, ornithologist Alexander Wilson, first saw it in a fly-by during migration while in Connecticut...They do fly through the state very occasionally during migration, but it's definitely not a reliable bird to count on for local birders there. Honestly...bad bird for the state.

In other words...

Yeah, uh, peeps, when I say you should probably read the context section in the poll, you should probably read the context section in the poll. That said, it's extremely possible that this was the meme choice for the 46 people who chose this species, but...yeah, I definitely disagree with this one, sorry. BUT...that's not how democracy works. This is, for good or for ill, the SBI Elected State Bird of Connecticut. However...that's not the personal choice for the initiative, but we'll get to that after the jump!

Keep in mind, by the way, that for all intents and purposes, the Tumblr-chosen State Bird of Connecticut is and will remain the Connecticut Warbler, unless another voting session is requested by enough people. However, as always, after the jump is located a set of curated choices for ornithological state symbols, which is a suggested set of species, rather than the Tumblr-voted set. With that said, feel free to check out the other choices after the jump for SBI Elects, but outside of that, see you next time in Massachusetts!

The State Birds Initiative Personal Pick - Connecticut (#5)

State Bird of Connecticut (SBI): Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)

Y'know, I was genuinely surprised that people didn't go for this one for the lulz, but hey, I'm not terribly good at predicting the ways and wiles of the internet. But as time went on, I sort of thought about it more, and this may be a solid bird for the State Bird of Connecticut for a few reasons. The Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) is an extremely common small songbird in the northeastern United States, very commonly found in backyards and on birdfeeders in the state and elsewhere. I originally chose them because they have that crest that makes them look like a classic macaroni, which you may remember as the satirical character referenced in Yankee Doodle, Connecticut's national anthem. And yeah, I think that's a good initial reason...but I also see this as an interesting opportunity.

See, the other thing I said about Connecticut is that it's a diverse state with unique perspectives and unique people. And an interesting way of expressing that could be through the Tufted Titmouse itself. This is a bird, I'd mentioned, that practices kleptotrichy, the plucking of hair from mammals to use in nests. As a result, they're also a bird that responds positively to provided nest material, especially if it's made of animal hair. That means that everybody can comb their dog or cat, put their hair in a box outside, and let the titmice use it for nesting material. It also means that, knowing Nutmeggers, there's opportunity for some really creative hair and wool offerings, and unique nests. Hell, it could be an excuse to Nutmeggers to put up more nest boxes for birds in general, fostering the breeding of multiple species in the state. Basically, the Tufted Titmouse could be a road to foster bird love in Connecticut, and still could serve as a symbol for kids all over the state. That's my pitch, and let's move onto the next entry!

SBI State Game Bird of Connecticut: American Black Duck (Anas rubripes)

As I said in the description for this species in the original post, the American Black Duck should get some attention! Two things about this choice. First, game birds are members of the Galloanserae, meaning they aren't just chickens, turkeys, and quails. They're also ducks, mergansers, geese, swans, and members of order Anseriformes. So, ducks are on the table. Coots and rails are too, as they're classified as game birds by the United States government, as are a few other species. In fact, I was originally going to give this space to crows, but the black duck was a better fit. That said...well the second point here is that this isn't necessarily the best state for the American Black Duck (Anas rubripes) as a choice for State Game Bird. But it still needs attention, as I said. Get more context for this choice in the original post, but yeah: the choice of Game Bird for a state that doesn't have a lot of hunting (yeah, that's why this choice was so difficult) is the American Black Duck!

State Raptor of Connecticut (SBI): Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)

Again, check the original post for elaboration on this one, but I think this tiny raptor is a good choice for one of our smallest states! It also works, in my opinion, because it's a species of needed focus in Connecticut, and a relatively difficult species to see while still being present all over the state, meaning people would be looking...within reason. And yeah, this one's a harder fight for acceptance, since it eats other birds, but I think it's good to broaden focus a bit. But that said...why not the Osprey (Pandion halieetus)?

Obviously, I made a case for the Osprey, and a pretty good one, I think. But frankly...other states should have the Osprey. And most of us probably have an idea of the state I mean, but we'll cross that bridge...eventually. Point is, the Osprey is great and one of my favorites...but the Sharp-shinned needs Connecticut a lot more. We'll come back to the seahawk pretty soon, though, and proabably go through this fight all over again.

SBI's Big Fifty - Connecticut: Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera)

Well, this one's a no-brainer. This is one of the most sought-out warblers for birdwatchers and birders alike, and is always a treat to see or hear. This is absolutely the right choice here, especially considering its population declines across its rane necessitating focus on the species. Plus, there's also its two famous relatives I barely mentioned previously, but they're a big conservation focus in their own ways. This is a bird to look for in any states, but since Connecticut forms a significant portion of its breeding population, why not here! Outside of that, just like the original post, I don't have too much else. Big Fifty choice presented! Onto the last category.

State Conservation Focus of Connecticut (SBI): Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii)

Hold on, what's this? Coming from outside the ring with a foldable metal chair in hand, it's the Roseate Tern (Sterna dougalli)! What a...tern of events! OK, sorry for that last quip, couldn't stop it. Anyway, this is a species I haven't brought up! To be clear, I really, really thought about putting the Snowy Egret or Osprey here, but to be honest, the former barely breeds in CT, and the latter I'm still saving for another state. Another contender, the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) kind of has to be saved for another state or two, and a lot of other birds fall under the same fate. So...why the Roseate Tern? Well, to be honest, this is only one representative of a larger group of birds: shorebirds in general.

See, CT has a number of regions of conservation concern, and birds associated with them. But the shoreline goes mostly ignored for Connecticut, despite it having a fairly long one for such a small state. And, considering the state's deep link with nautical matters, it really should have its coast get some more focus. So, the Roseate Tern is actually meant to represent the shorelines of CT. Plus, the state hosts one of the larger breeding populations for the species in the USA, although not the largest, to be fair. But CT doesn't have the largest breeding population of...well, any bird species, it would seem. So, better to choose a species with a decent population size than anything else. Representing Connecticut's coastlines is the Roseate Tern, a pescivorous beach-dweller with a surprising amount of color, a fairly significant historical tie to the United Kingdom, and a tendency to be overlooked in favor of larger and more famous birds. Which, when you put it that way...yeah, this works.

With that last bird, we move onto a new state...and a potential future problem. Yeah, uh, the Connecticut Warbler mishap has made me realize the "no breeding population" rule needs to be more strictly enforced for the sake of this project. So, from here on out, if it doesn't breed in the state, it ain't a candidate for the State Bird, no matter ~~who its daddy is~~ what its name is. So, yeah, that adjustment should help matters. Plus, I'll seriously consider other similar cases moving forward. But, for now, the next state doesn't have that problem! No birds named after the Puritan State! See you soon, in Massachusetts!

See you next time, and happy birding!

Happy american thanksgiving everyone

Ill go first from my pov

Im thankful for cheeseburgers and smth ultimately basic but true: my friends. Gwbiubely my friends are some of the greatest people in the world and i adore them. I wish i had the ability to doodle us all hanging out from scratch and it not look like a weird blob with limbs from my pov but i dont so i'll find a 4 person friend base image later and rb with it

Of course my friend group isnt just 4 people their essentially 5 main online peoples, including myself (on discord anyway. Archaic isnr on here all that much. And he sort of doesmt count. Ill explain in a sec, but i'll still add him to the post)

@gunterdon

@definesanity

@archaicanathema

@infer8

And myself. Or i could cheat and say @mx-kamisato

Okay so here's the whole mess with archie.

He soley to me technically doesnt count because me and him are boyfriends

...whydoesthatfeelsogiddytosayijustgotafloatyfeeling-

Ahem! Anyway

Yes we're boyfriends.

And its great hes a wonderful lad

I wish i could label all the things i love about this man but then we'll be here all day. I'll simplify it and say that he's incredibly funny (me and him share a sense of humor, thank fuck), he's always extremely kind, when he talks about his favorite things it always brings me so much joy because its just so fun to listen to, i love watching him play warframe even if i cant play it myself, i adore seeing him interact in our friend group and have fun. He brings me a lot of happiness everyday. Its not a "oh rarely i get a high from dating someone" its...every day. Every single day he makes me so thankful and happy he asked me out. He's wonderful and I couldn't ask for soneone better to be my boyfriend.

Okay thats enough being sappy from me!

Yeah i'm thabkfully to venti too but hes not counting since this is a post about /actual friends/ not fictional chars who i (half?) jokingly my husband.

Ahem. So yeah! I'm thankful to those people! Huge shoutout to them! The sillies who are in my life everyday.

Also shoutout to my mutuals in a more general sense!

@unkownknowledge , @pale-value , @avenrose , mf halve person i forgot their user. They liked and rbed s lot of my posts awhile back and j got excjted about them. I may have forgotten their user but i remember you!!

And the rest of the 20 people im mutuals with. My mutual list aint small but its too big for me to remember everyone.

Special shoutput to bones tho. Best comrade. No one forgets @nicebonescomrades i love them. Idk jf theyre pronouns are still she/her but yed. THEM

I hope they come on again someday soon. 100% thanks for existing and being my friend as long as gunter and ryuusei who have been my longest stanring friends on tumblr - actually, no, their just the most iconic. The longest standing froend on tumblr is wisti (if we count her) or artem! I met artem back on my old account and when they still were a big account under thinknoodled i think. They wrote a lot of sagau and when i still was scared shitless of them. Ah, the good old days.

Dont get me wrong they are still terrifying but in a they'd probably bite my ankles off way.

So glad i met everyone here and you all such great, wonderful people. Thank you so much for being in my life. And for the picture i promised, i'll be drawing the main 4 of agar. Soley because i dont knoe how i'd doodle infer. They're great too but i dont know if i would doodle more of their irl self or try to draw their scaley persona thing. Maybe their avatar??? I have no idea. The others i have a general idea.

Alright bye i'll see you guys later. I spent 30 minutes writing this post. Sigh.

[overclause]

ok ok post only for my followers to see im kind of having a crisis where im not sure if i want to give my AVA/M characters hair or not like i want to give them hair but also ive drawn them bald for so long but also like i want to draw the colour crew and i dont know if i want to make them realllly simple or give them like crazy outfits and stuff I HAVE NO IDEA. Im probably just going to start doodling in different styles and pick the one i like the best (ill share them here later)

[kikie-e3]

So.... Rise Borrower au? Yes?

Ok so, this au sort of spawned a while ago. (Im just now working on it though lol) My original idea was "Ok what if the turtles stayed their normal turtle size well mutant?" But they would still be sort of reasonably sized? Since Alligator snapping turtles are actually huge, but it wasn't quite the vision I was going for.

But then genius struck

Borrower AU

It sort of morphed from there Ill be honest and I wrote a oneshot (which needs to be revised before I post it)

Anyways the basic plot. In short after being mutated, the ooze mutates Splinter and the turtles to shrink? (...Im working on this part) But anyways long story short, after living in the sewers for a few years to long Splinter brings him and the turtles to move into the walls of an empty apartment... or it was supposed to be. Yes it was empty for a while, until someone moved in.

Someone with a kid named April.

April at age 9, at first doesn't think the house is that weird. Until she starts noticing things, the occasional patter of small feet, the hushed whispers of voices and small squeaks. The missing things, never anything big, but things like pins, sugar, buttons, and some of Aprils old toys. She gets curious, what things could possibly be causing this? Well ghosts of course! What else could it be? So starts little detective April, to catching her apartment ghosts in the act.

(All well the Turtles are trying to avoid the curious human to near to finding them out)

And that's just the basic premise at best. I do have more for this story, but that's all for now. Besides that, i do have some doodles of the Borrower!Bros, ands some not so solid designs for them!.

Ok so Leo first! With his little pin needle swords. When I was searching for Borrower inspiration, I noticed that pin needles were often their weapons and hey... Thats cool. I dont really know what i want to do with his design, but I like it for now! Anyways, Leo is the biggest criminal, will risk everything just to steal a penny.

Mikey! and his little button knee pads! And plenty of stolen art supplies. The insides of the walls are littered with small graffiti. He also most likely not allowed out a lot

Donnie... Who not going to lie will be a bit hard to depict in this world. With a reliance on Tech, it may be a bit hard to intergrade him. Anyways, his temporary battle shell is a box painted purple... and thats cute. He also has a tendency to use sticks as weapons. Second biggest criminal, but steals the more risky things

And Finally Raph (Who right now.. Fav and probably most concrete design) He is a flower lad! Keeps a garden, its very therapeutic. Probably also does not condone stealing things they do not need. Like come on guys they will notice if we steal their phones!!

I do have so much planned for this au and I do plan a full fledged fanfic.... at some point! Hopefully, for now just sporadic posting and small art things. (Though I am open for questions! Fell free to ask!) Though all for now, Ill most likely post more later :))
