#my favorite mammals

Hmm maybe I can work that into chapter 9😂

I think I lifted that descriptor for bear paws from somewhere else but I could not even begin to remember where.

Every time a picture of Koma in baby jail passes me on my dash (and tumblr loves throwing them at me) I imagine Tobirama from my Slow Release of Tension fic in his Snow Leopard form coming along and kidnapping Koma to have a fun day.

Random as heck I know but I felt like sharing the thought lmao

Don’t worry, baby jail is big enough for two! :)

(I’m kidding, that’s so cute 😭 I can picture them napping tgt in Tobirama’s den)

But also !! your fic was def one of the main reasons that got me into the snow leopard + tobirama agenda back when I was just lurking around fandom spaces as an anon in 2022, it’s so good. Just. Feral snow leopard tobirama?? I want to cuddle him and give him all the comfort he needs and maybe get him out of the storeroom Why Is He There

🐬 Daily Cetacean Fact: 🐬

*One of my absolute favorite animals in the ocean 🥰*

Orca Whale: Despite the name 'whale', the Orca is actually the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family. Orcas can be identified individually by their natural markings and differences in fin shape. The whitish-grey pigmentation on their back—their saddle patch—also varies from individual to individual in shape, size, color, scratches, and scarring. Like a human fingerprint, each saddle patch is different, and these differences help researchers tell Orcas apart.

Sketches up an idea for an evil 18th cent foppish locust guy.

I like all the anthro and furry art I see. Unfortunately my favorite living things do not lend themselves well to be anthro. .. He wound up kind of like a locust-satyr instead. Inspired a bit by the james and the giant peach's mr grasshopper. (the terminology between locust and grasshopper is really interesting..))

Fella the Armadillo Archaeologist!

Searching for the “Lost City of Atlantis”, Fella got lost in his little boat and ended up getting trapped on a peculiar set of Isles. He is super enthusiastic about discovering ancient secrets even though his theories are often wildly wrong. He’s been trying to excavate the mysterious ancient temples and ruins littered around the Isles but something terribly unfortunate happens before he can ever get too far. But he’s not one to give up! He’s convinced there’s a secret city underground and he wants his name on that discovery.

i think it's so crazy that mammal is such a beautiful movie about love and grief and the terrible things we do to the people we want most desperately to help and also it's two hours of barry keoghan milf porn. like we CAN have both.

[rxttenfish]

also i won't lie. the single point where i hated the silt verses with my whole heart. the part in the qna where it's insisted that frog horror just doesnt work.

like EXCUSE YOU. I HAVE REFINED TASTE IN AMPHIBIAN HORROR. DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT A LACK OF FROG HORROR, I WILL NOT EVEN HONOR THIS SENTIMENT.

Made a whole new OC the other day, she's an archeologist who is traveling in the Beanbean Kingdom in search for prehistoric life. Makes friends with a pterosaur named Blablanadon and helps take care of an odd looking egg she theorizes is a new dinosaur egg. It hatches into Dragohoho, the dragon. But she thinks it's a new type of dinosaur.

She gets knocked away and doesn't see the dragon transform back into Prince Peasley, so it's kinda awkward when Ivory takes a tour of the castle later on and the prince remembers her while she doesn't remember him. There are some draconic traits that have stuck with Peasley since the transformation and she's absolutely enthralled by that.

Ivory (or Ives, Eve, those are her nicknames) is very socially aloof but fixates about anything prehistoric. She doesn't mind being alone but when she finds a friend she's pretty loyal. Absolutely unashamed about her passions and has a strong sense of justice.

Somewhere along the line Ivory and Peasley will eventually fall in love, yeah this is a Prince Peasley shipping OC what of it xD I'm just having fun

Godly Warriors - Canid Capture pt. 3

AN: I'm a a day ahead for the first time in a long time. Loving this a lot. Had a challenge of writing more detailed sensory experiences and Canid is great for this with her sense of smell

First Part - Previous - Next - Intro/Master Post

CWs: immortal whump, sensory whump/overload, nonhuman whump, lady whump, passing out, threats, mild gore (bone sounds)

Canid POV

----

Lepid looked at me. His large wings shuffled, antenna on end, exemplifying how alarmed he was. He looked between the soldier and my wound, "Shit."

Screams could be heard from outside. Ear splitting screams I couldn't handle listening to for much longer. It was the closest I've ever been to the poachers, my goddess always keeping me far from them.

I started trying to stand. I didn't shift my weight onto the bad leg, or at least I didn't do it consciously. But when I accidentally tried, I immediately collapsed in a heap of pain on the floor.

"Dammit- Canid stop moving you're going to kill yourself." He demands, the shouting coming from his lips contradicting the nature I knew him to posess. He looked down at me and I could smell the fear radiating from him, coming through heavily in the stress induced sweat he aquired.

"Leave me! Go!" I shouted at him, barely lifting myself from the floor as the adrenaline numbs my pain further.

Lepid flinched, hesitating briefly before I watch him commit to an idea, "This is gonna hurt like a bitch."

"Wha-"

My upper body is hauled upwards at a speed I wasn't prepared for. Before I realized what he was doing, my vision flipped as he practically threw me over his shoulder and into a position where my thigh was pressing into his shoulder.

I screamed, feeling my senses both heighten and become muddy as I'm hauled out of the wagon. My vision swims with tears, but my other senses are far too good for my liking.

I could hear the sickening screams of the soldiers. The scraping noise of a blade against bone, sending an involuntary shudder through my body. The yells of those who are still fighting and the distressed shouts of the friends of the fallen.

Worst of all was the scents. Fresh blood was never a scent I willingly subjected myself to, the metallic stench filling my nostrils. Only rivaled by the agressive amount of information coming from Lepid.

I could smell a concoction of illnesses, both chronic and acute, the sickly sweet scent of flower nectars and honey, then on top of it all, the most intense fear I've ever been forced to behold. It practically overwhelmed my senses as I was hauled through the forest.

Barely conscious, I heard him speak, "Stay with me. Please stay with me. They can't win."

I fought the growing darkness, a faint groan forced through me, but it wasn't long until I passed out.

My goddess appeared above me in my unconsciousness. She floated down and cupped my cheeks in her hands, "Stay alive my Warrior. Come back to me."

"I will." I said, placing a hand over her's, "I promise I will."

She kissed my forehead and vanished, allowing me to sink deeper into the painful void of my mind and body.

-

"...HELL IS THIS? Why are you half dead and carrying that?" A voice cuts through my consciousness, unfamiliar to me and full of surprise and anxiety.

My eyes cleared just enough for me to see Lepid, his cloak ripped off, revealing his wings. They were damaged somewhat, but still demanded amazement. I could inspect them for hours, the intricate grey and white designs far more detailed than expected.

A spear was leveled over my chest for the second time, "Explain."

"Cole. Don't you fucking dare. You know how protective Mammalia is of her Warriors. For god's sake you saw Trich get killed because of it." Lepid took hold of the spear shaft and shoved it away from my body.

"Oh shit-" the spearhead vanished, paired quickly by the sound of the weapon hitting the dirt.

I blinked rapidly, my chest feeling compressed when I saw just how much of my blood coated Lepid's side. It was a bright crimson, unnatural against his greyscale body and clothes.

"Now if you would stop being a dumbass and listen. She was attacked by one of mine, the criminal was sent away immediately, likely killed by the wolven hunters before night. I was on my way to get her to a temple and we were ambushed."

The new person paused heavily, "Poachers?"

"Yes."

Had I nor such keen hearing, I wouldn't have made out the curses in their undertone before they said, "Get inside."
