#man eating beasts

[othmeralia]

Just a sprinkle of some fantastic monsters from our 1658 History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents.

hyperspecific headcanon of the day: john locke seems like the type of guy to be prescribed antidepressants, reluctantly start taking them, feel better, then immediately abandon his meds because he "doesn't need them anymore." and then be SHOCKED when that has consequences

[llitchilitchi]

tonight has been such a great show of how the fans see c!Dream. the language surrounding him is dehumanizing, in the story, he is the book, he is kept in a vault, he is a monster - c!Q and c!Sam are seconds from calling him it, and the fandom reflects so many of these views. he is not a person with feelings, he is a monster, a predator stalking its prey, an obssessed beast. not human, never human with his very own motivations and goals and dreams who plans for something more. he never wans things for a reason that could not be seen as selfish desire, he is evil personified.

but the moment the language around him, by others in the story, the people who hold power over him reflect the lack of humanity that he should be granted, suddenly it is impossible to strip him of this human side. no, he cannot be in a vault, vault is for objects (like the revive book that everyone sees him as).

he is granted only as much humanity as people think he deserves to be punished further

Drew some more Chimera Laios

And y'know what? I think I've figured out how this could work. (Full Body Sketch Link Here)

Now Laios has the issue when eating of not having the same jaw strength as a lot of predators do that are his size. However, what he does have is the canines designed to scrape off meat, and a stomach that can digest nearly anything. In fact? At least in this design, he has two stomachs. And that's why the snake head on the second tail is important. While his humanoid body can digest raw meat, the stomach and mouth is too small to keep something of his size fed. However, the snake head can not only eat things whole, it can unhinge its jaw and split its mandibles open, allowing for him to get enough sustenance even while being active and doing things like hunting.

Are there any fae-like creatures in french myths?

I know about the story of a giant black wolf that terrorized France back in the day, but that’s all I can remember.

Legends and stories including wolves are in fact really widespread in european culture since middle age ! But yeah the most well known in France is the Beast of Gévaudan which was described as massive ! (and the one from Le petit chaperon rouge/Little red riding hood)

Concerning other creatures and fairies/faes in french legends and stories, we do have

Mélusine : fairies mentioned a bit everywhere in France, they are mostly described as women with a scaly tail lower body and are sometimes associated with mermaids or vouivres. (far from how they look like in genshin impact)

Vouivre : not to be mistaken with wyverns, vouivres are creatures described as snakes with bat wings, sometimes they are depicted having rear legs and wings (and they look very goofy like that imo). These creatures can be aquatic and in some descriptions, possess a big jewel on their forehead.

Tarasque : a creature from provencal legends, which lived in a swamp near Tarascon and terrorized and ate people. It's most popular description was of a big creature with a spiked turtle shell, six bear legs, horse ears, bull chest, lion head, a human face and a twisted tail. Legend says Ste. Marthe tamed the beast. (I swear they were just being attacked by bowser this is the same creature)

These are the one I depicted roughly in the pic above but there are many more creatures depending on the different regions of France ! (There's a lot of fairies and fantasy like creature in stories from bretagne/brittany) Some others that I find either fun or cool are :

Meneurs de loup : which translates to wolf leaders are people told to be able to talk to wolves and even transform into one, either because they are werewolves or they made a pact with the devil. (it's kinda giving spice and wolf vibes and I love that story sm)

Jambe crue/Came-cruse : Roaming in the Pyrénées at night, this thing is a single leg with an eye on the knee that eats people and runs very fast. (Idk why this one is so funny to me but oddly terrifying as well)

dinluke and grogu visits boba on tatooine because, honestly? din misses his friend. and luke is nothing but indulgent to his boyfriend so of course he tags along. ("yes, i promise not to fight fett. this time. unless provoked. if he provokes me again, din, then i'm fighting him.") tho, luke is unaware of boba's rancor so when they land on boba's property, the rancor—that boba takes on daily walks, the big guy needs his exercise—excitedly charges at grogu.

luke immediately gets flashbacks and ignites his saber, only for din to toss grogu to the damn beast and—why is grogu giggling? and why is the rancor wagging its tail? and why is grogu babbling in that happy tone luke's only ever heard around when he's around his parents? and—

"din, what the fuck is that thing doing to my son?"

"they're hugging, skywalker. it's what friends do—"

"is your name din? no. shut up, fett." luke whips his head to his boyfriend and points to grogu and the rancor as if he's expecting an explanation as to why grogu knows its favorite scratch spot is behind its ears.

he doesn't get an explanation, though. well, nothing more than din simply saying, "grogu and chomp have a long history."

luke...luke really wants din to elaborate on their so called 'long history' bc grogu is now on top of the rancor and tugging on its chains as if he wants it to scale the nearest cliff. which he probably does.

but luke is also fixated on a small detail that sounds too good to be true.

he slowly turns to boba, who's suddenly taken an interest in his sandy boots, and says behind a barely contained laugh, "you named your rancor chomp?"

boba sheepishly kicks at a pebble in such a non boba fett way that luke has never seen before. then, "he...likes to chomp...on things. the kids helped me name him. chomp was the least terrible one." boba coughs into a gloved fist and adds, "it was a vote."

as luke laughs a belly clutching cackle that doubles him over, making din support most of his weight so he doesn't face plant into the sand, he can't help but think that han is going to love this. boba fett, the guy who tried to kill them on more than one occasion, named his rancor chomp, of all names, because his cybernetic teenagers voted on it.

oh, luke can't wait until their next holocall.

Carnivorous Plant Commission for: CandyLovinCryptid

"Don't let the diminutive size of these vexing violets fool you. Despite their size they have acquired a form of locomotion and move rather quickly for plant. Apparently lacking in eyesight, they still seem to be able to sniff out prey and deliver a surprisingly powerful bite that just so happens to contain a small amount of toxin that induces sleep.

Though its rare these plants kill, one might not be to thrilled upon waking to a dozen coin size chunks of flesh missing from ones shin."

Is this image true to you?

[robotclownindulgence]

crying and screaming and throwing up they are literally so cute

[sketchyfandomgirl]

Ghost eats a lot. He has to if he wants to keep his huge physique and the demand of being able to carry almost a hundred pounds of gear at minimum and have the strength to fight his foes with the precise speed he canonically has in hand to hand as well as running as fast as fcking Captain America??

We have seen this man run through that forest in that one video??? Iykyk.

Yeah, I’m sorry to say but that man is PACKING away food like a damn horse. There’s no way that man starves himself. That’s a motherfucker who has the appetite to compete with a fucking Hobbit. He’s got a special diet of five meals per day💀

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

Beast Atsushi’s ‘White Reaper’ moniker slayed actually I feel like he should have a cool identifier in canon too

[eraserhead-baby-offical]

My brother told me when I was like 12 and had my first big devastating crush "men will use you for character development and redemption and you will use them to try and get free of the cycle" why the fuck did he say that and why was he right that dude is like the fucking oracle
