Definitely a day I totally knew existed and didn’t only find out about today! For sure . . .

Well, seeing that my persona is in fact the honored semi-aquatic mammal in the spotlight, I couldn’t help but feel inclined to sketch up something for the occasion. Happy World Otter Day! 🦦

Under his fur, he wears the amulet of Juatchadoon, a siren pendant, and he mainly wears a fez on his head as Agent FezP. FezP also wears a fedora on his head but he wears it on underneath of his fez. Around his arm, he wears a light teal turtle bracelet which is his miraculous in camouflage mode.

What his speaking voice sounds like: Very cool, very calm, very collected, and he has a Sassy accent.

Status: Active and immortal

Voiced by/Speaking and Chattering Voice: Dee Bradley Baker

Singing Voice: China Anne McClain

Personality: He can be best defined as “The Sassy Bossy Flirty Dramatic Entertainment" younger brother to Perry. He kinda has same aspects as Perry, but the difference is that he is mostly sassy, bossy, dramatic, and entertainment. This is seen from the fact that he brought backup dancers to a long-lost temple and when he was dancing. He also seems loyal enough to wear a fez even though he wasn't in Egypt. He does have a difficult relationship with Perry but sometimes they get along with the rest of his brothers and sisters. As Agent FezP, he is proud of his abilities as a fez platypus and wants to prove himself to Perry that he can be a good secret agent for the O.W.C.A. As a dream demon, he can be manipulative and he is always sassy in order to get what he wants. When he’s making a deal with someone, his greenish teal hand starts burning with light teal flames. As a siren, he plays with someone’s emotions and he’s ready to show off his singing voice and feeds on the positivity around him.

P6 Idea : Change Settings

Recently, I saw Head on the Block breaking new news: "Persona 6" will be a semi-open world game, the community will be more flexible, and it will also be themed around Japanese high school students. It is currently in progress Close to 95%, it is expected to be officially announced in 2025. In addition, "Persona 6" will launch an update roadmap after its launch, and various DLC updates will be released at that time.

Did you see it? The "Japanese high school student" thing won't change, so that means I might have to change my mind.

Ophion and Lost World

The key points of nature, environment, life and green have always been fans' speculations about P6. I personally hope that P6 will develop in this direction, so Ophion and Lost World will not change much, but the focus is on me The focus must shift from the whole world to Japan.

Precisely because this is a country like Japan that combines traditional beliefs with advanced technology, it must pay attention to residents living in concrete jungles such as cities. They forget that humans themselves are also part of nature, and the human nature (self) and animal nature (id) in people's hearts lost balance.

The imbalance of people's hearts has affected Ophion and the Lost World. The Lost World has been eroded by the shadows, causing Ophion to develop a protective mechanism and entrust the important task to teenagers who retain their youthfulness and have not been polluted by the urban environment.

Just because I replaced college students with high school students, the concept of "utopia" generated by aspiring young people will also become invalid, and will be replaced by a "jungle" generated by the collective subconscious of mankind. As for the detailed settings of the jungle, I will introduce it later.

The Protagonist

Compared with other characters, the overall setting of the protagonist will not change, but there are several questions to consider: How will she integrate into high school life？How does she deal with the daily routine of real life？

First, she still has to go to school. The school she attends is located in an unexploited forest. The school is equipped with green technologies that rely on alternative energy sources, in stark contrast to overdeveloped cities. In addition, it is a boarding school, and you can still live in the school dormitory after school.

The Mascot Navigator

The mascot was changed from a fairy to a little girl with goat horns, named Amalthea, who will become a key point in the later part of the plot. Amalthea's personality is sensitive and introverted, and like Teddy and Morgana, she has forgotten her own birth, which gives her a strong sense of inferiority and makes her identify with the protagonist, who is also a girl.

The Sports Girl

Taking into account that Japan is the stage, her identity has to be Japanese, but it also has the setting that she has a Latin American mixed race. The sports girl's class is powered by solar energy, and the food is also crops grown by teachers and students themselves. After the protagonist becomes familiar with the sports girl, he can improve his crop planting skills.

The Advisor Boy

His class mainly focuses on hydroelectric power generation. Most of the food depends on teachers and students going to rivers and seasides to fish. At the same time, aquatic organisms are cultivated for food supply and scientific research objects. After the protagonist gets familiar with the advisor boy, he can improve his fishing skills.

The Masculine Boy

This time the masculine boy is not of mixed race, but because he lived in England for a long time, he looks more like a Western than a Japanese. The masculine boy's class is about wind power generation. Students and faculty usually participate in mechanical engineering research on aviation. The food supply is organic food transported by air.

Volva

Among the members of Volva, only spy girl is an adult outside the school, while wasteland boy and navigator boy are classmates of masculine boy and advisor boy respectively.

Wasteland boy is a British-Indian student studying abroad, and he is childhood sweethearts with a boy who has lived in England. The navigator boy is timid and mentally ill, so he is shunned by his classmates. Only the advisor boy will open his heart and pay attention to him. The attention paid to the navigator boy makes the advisor boy feel that he is leading by example.

Cosmic Eggs and Dragon Veins

Another important point is that the cosmic egg and dragon vein will still stay in Ophion and will never escape to the real world. Once the dragon veins become cosmic eggs, players must spend time establishing social connections with these eggs. If they are too busy, they can ask Jose in the Velvet Room for help.

The Velvet Room

You should have noticed that I did not describe the velvet room before. The reason is, there's more detail on this sale than on previous games. Igor has left, and the person in charge of managing the Velvet Room is Jose who appeared in P5R, which fits the qualities of an "egg". The theme of the velvet room this time is "Museum of Nature", which corresponds to the theme of nature and life that P6 wants to convey.

HI YES I WANT TO ASK MORE BUT HERE THROWS THESE AT U LOVINGLY AND SCUTTLES AWAY

Ford- 🍅🥭🥑

Tom- 🍎🍏🍇

Liam- 🌶️🥕🥝

I LOVE YOU *Eats all the fruits you left*

Ford

🍅 [TOMATO] How misunderstood is your OC? In-universe or IRL.

Oh ford… i feel like he lives and breathes being misunderstood by most people. But he’s never been one to particularly care about the way others see him unless he has to confront it and if that never comes then he doesn’t care.

He’s a person who kinda lives in a spotlight of a monster. People painted him that way and after a point he embraced this monstrous persona, and became what everyone wanted so much… and that was a monster to fear. But He never wanted to be this, his intention was never to be like this all he ever wanted was to make sure people didn’t suffer the way he did. The utopians are the people he wants to see him as a monster. But people like him found a lot of the time in the heat of his attacks they will be spared… by the person they were told was a monster.

So is he a monster? To some yes and to some no

I’d say he’s pretty misunderstood in someways.

🥭 [MANGO] What colours best represent them and why? Does this differ from their favourites?

Well i know he’s your favorite because he’s teal, ya know.

Turquoise is the color i associate him with the most, it genuinely is THE color for him. There’s just always been this tie with him to greenish colors but recently i changed it to turquoise and it… was eye opening.

Ford’s taken on a sort of Water vibe, not like super literal way. If anything he’s semi-aquatic but really in a metaphorical way too right. Cause he’s kinda like water, he flows like a stream through most scenarios in life. There’s moments where its rougher and faster but at the end its always water even if it came out tainted in the end.

He goes through a lot throughout the story, and goes through lots of literal changes. However by the end he’s still himself, despite it all he waded through the path life gave him like a stream of water. So yeah, if any of that makes sense thats why Ford’s color is Turquoise. Woter association.

🥑 [AVACADO] What will they never back down about, even if it makes them seem bad?

Ford will absolutely never back down on his opinion about utopians. This belief is what literally defines him to people as a murderer, because he brutally kills these people as if they mean as little to him as mere objects. But to him they aren’t more than that, they gave up their humanity the moment they decided humans do not deserve the right to be treated like living beings.

Ford’s a die hard believer in human rights and in this universe its really really close to being erased out of existence on earth. For good. He will do ANYTHING to protect the remainder of this right. Even if he has to kill the people responsible for its eradication.

Tom

🍎 [RED APPLE] Who does your OC value above all else?

Tom values his friends and family above everything else, even above his own life. He only really wants to make people smile more than anything else, he’s always been like this. It was burned into him at a young age, because he wanted to make his mom smile when she wasn’t happy.

🍏 [GREEN APPLE] How do they differ from the norm and how are they punished for it?

Tom’s a born utopian, but never was apart of the general belief system of utopia. Essentially he was not a follower of the cultish mentality that existed within his home city. He acted against the laws set in place and there were several times where he was punished severely for it.

Even once having to deal with a medicated dampening program. Which is essentially when utopia tries to correct behavior with controlled substances to prevent thoughts of “violence”. But these medications do not really do anything except progressively damage the brain more and more until the person dies.

Thankfully he was able to flush the meds. And he got out of utopia soon after… nowadays he’s safer. But the death of his mother was also a punishment for his “crimes” against utopia.

🍇 [GRAPES] What's their circle of people/their species like? What dynamic would they be called?

Tom’s circle of friends… are the bounty hunters. He himself is one, but genuinely they are the most loving little group of people. A real family for sure, but they are chaotic as hell.

Liam

🌶️ [HOT PEPPER] Who would your OC declare their sworn enemy if they could meet them?

Liam would probably call Ford his sworn enemy, but Ford wouldn’t agree cause he knows he and Liam are fine and on good terms. Liam is just a little ridiculous tbh

🥕 [CARROT] How tough is your OC against certain situations? How weak are they against others?

Liam is one of the most thick skinned individuals you will ever meet, there is NOT a lot that gets to him. In fact most things will just make him speak louder than you and insult you further, what can i say… the man has a bit of a short fuse. However, the one thing that gets him… isn’t even fight situations.

Its coming to terms with the fact someone cares about him. Especially when you consider how broken of a man he is, because Liam doesn’t want to be alive. For most of his life he has been actively trying to end it, whether that be from smoking, drugs, alcohol poisoning, he has many habits he know will eventually kill him. He doesn’t want to be alive, to put it very plainly again.

However, when it came to his now wife; Azlin. He found himself at a crossroads where he approached her at a tense moment and asked why she cared about him. At the time she responded cold and non-informative… but she found him later attempting something. And after she got him back to a quiet room with her, she came clean and he would begin a process of cleaning up. That would turn him from trying to die… to trying to live.

🥝 [KIWI FRUIT] How does their outside appearance differ from who they are?

Liam kinda… looks exactly how you imagine he acts tbh. Short angry and loud.

[wishmemel]

Perry the Platypus

You're a suave, semi-aquatic - just kidding lol. You give off a "tough guy" persona, much like the Bufords, but you have a heart of absolute gold. You're willing to give almost everyone a second chance, provided you think they deserve it (and you're a very good judge of character who knows when people deserve it). You seem to be pretty serious to those who don't know you well, but you have a childlike sense of humor under it all and you enjoy a good laugh. You would kill someone for the people you love (and probably have). Let people help you once in a while. You can't do everything on your own.

It's midnight, I made a Phineas and Ferb quiz, and now I'm going to bed. Goodnight I love y'all

[true-blue-megamind]

Daylight and Dark Ch. 2 - Morning

You can find Chapter 1 or read the entire fiction on AO3 HERE.

CHAPTER RATING: Teen; FULL FICTION RATING: Explicit.  WARNINGS FOR ENTIRE WORK: violence, sex, language, references to prior domestic abuse, and rock n’ roll! CHAPTER WARNINGS: Mom Friend Minion is too damn loveable

Roxanne woke with her head pillowed on Megamind's shoulder. She blinked blearily in the bright sunlight filling the room, and stretched delightfully sore muscles. It had been too long since she'd last awoken with the afterglow of good, rough sex warming her body.

"Good morning, Beautiful," said a smooth, pleasant voice.

Roxanne smiled up into Megamind's handsome face. "Good morning," she sighed, sliding against him to kiss his mouth. She settled back beside him, nuzzling the side his neck and idly sliding one finger up and down his opposite ear. "Mmmmm, I should get up, but I'm much too comfortable."

"Then don't get up."

"But I really should."

"The Evil Overlord forbids it."

"You're not an Evil Overlord anymore."

"Well, then the Defender of Metrocity forbids it," he grinned down at her, turning to wrap both arms tightly around her. "Stay with me," he added seriously. "It's Saturday. As long as I'm not called to duty, there is no good reason why we can't spend the whole day here."

An electronic buzzing suddenly disturbed the quiet. It was quickly joined by a metallic rattling at the window. Roxanne bolted up in bed, giving a little yelp and pulling her coverlet over her chest as she realized six or seven brainbots were swarming outside the glass. Megamind's reaction was even more animated. He practically tumbled onto the floor, bringing the rumbled sheet with him and wrapping himself frantically in it. He stumbled to the window and, ignoring Roxanne's stuttering protests, threw it open to let the little flying robots in. They massed around him like worried children, bumping him with rounded glass domes and pawing him with long mechanical arms. Roxanne was sure that if they'd had tails, they would have been wagging.

Chuckling nervously, Megamind patted them. "Okay, okay, Daddy's alright. This is just Daddy's… ah… private time… So we really shouldn't be bothering Daddy. No we shouldn't." He shook a finger at them to emphasize his words, but that caused the sheet to slip a little, and he snatched it back up into place. "Look, Daddy's not leaving you behind. Daddy just needs to spend some alone time with Roxanne, okay? Daddy loves both you and Roxanne, but in very different ways…"

Roxanne nearly choked on her giggle. Of all the absurd things she had seen him do during her semi-professional Damsel-in-Distress career, none were quite as funny as Megamind giving the Daddy Has a Girlfriend speech to a hoard of cyborg drones. Her humor was stolen, however, when one of the brainbots left the happily swirling flock to hover in front of an empty section of wall. Moments later, the top minion— or rather Minion— appeared, his image projected by the brainbot's red camera eye. Roxanne blushed bright scarlet and tugged the blanket higher. She knew enough about Megamind's technological creations to realize that Minion could see them just as well as they could see him.

"Oh, sir! Thank goodness they found you! I've had the brainbots looking everywhere! Where have you been all night?!"

"Here."

"No phone call? No message? You just stay out to all hours—"

"Minion," Megamind interjected. "This really isn't the best—"

"Without a single thought of what you might be putting me through—"

"Minion—"

"...worried sick, and—"

"Minion!"

"WHAT? I mean…Ah... What, Sir?"

Megamind took a deep breath and began gathering scattered clothes from the floor with one hand, the other still clutching the sheet tight. "You're right. I should have called. I didn't think about it—"

"Didn't… didn't think about it?" Minion blustered, wide-eyed. "Sir! How could you? After all we've been through! You… You know that my sole purpose is to take care of you, and… and…"

"Oh, Minion! Stop being so dramatic! You know very well I didn't mean it that way!" Megamind threw up his free hand in exasperation, flinging his shirt above his head.

"How did you mean it, then?"

Another deep breath and Megamind collected himself. "I got a little caught up in the moment and… things…"

"Things? What things?! That's no excuse!"

"Things, Minion," Megamind said pointedly, motioning his head toward the bed. "And this seriously is not a good time."

Minion glanced where his master indicated. "Oh good morning, Miss... Ritchi..." his cordial voice grew faint as he finally took in the scene. Large aquatic eyes bulged, flitting between Roxanne and his master.

"Oh, Sir! You didn't!"

Megamind rolled his eyes and snatched one of his boots from the floor. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I did."

"Sir!"

"And I plan to do it again!"

"But Sir!"

"A lot!"

"SIR!"

"As often as possible!"

Minion mouthed wordlessly before shaking himself free of shock. "Well, I just hope you're being safe," he quipped in a tone that sounded entirely too matronly.

Oh, dear… thought Roxanne.

Megamind had paused instantly, mouth open to offer a retort that never came.

"Oh, sir," Minion repeated, groaning in despair. "You didn't…"

"I… didn't think… " He gathered himself visibly. "Look, Minion, it's doubtful our DNA is even similar enough to be compatible!"

"You can't know that without tests!" Minion objected, then asked hopefully: "have you run any tests?"

"It's on my to-do list!" Megamind announced defensively.

Minion clapped a mechanical hand to his fishbowl. "This is a disaster..."

At least here Roxanne could help. "It's okay, Megamind, Minion. I'm… Uh…" she shrugged, fighting the burning heat in her face. "On the pill."

The entire room seemed to sigh with relief.

"Well, thank goodness one of you has some sense!" said Minion pointedly. "Sir, I am very disappointed in you."

Megamind spoke through gritted teeth. "Could we discuss this later?"

"No, we can NOT discuss this later," Minion replied in his best parental tones. "Sir, you have a reputation to uphold now, and—What are you doing?"

Megamind had walked up behind the hovering brain bot, tucking the edges of the sheet tightly under one arm, and started fiddling with something on its back.

"I understand," he sounded bored. "Reputation. Yes."

Minion's eyes narrowed, his tone slow with barely restrained suspicion. "With all due respect, Sir, if you're doing what I think you're—"

"What was that Minion?" Megamind called loudly.

"Sir, leave that audio-visual receptor alone!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Stop that!"

"There seems to be a problem with the receptor!"

"Problem with—That's because you're messing with it!"

"Minion? Ollo? If you can hear me—"

"Of course I can hear you!"

"…I'll talk to you this afternoon when I get home!"

"Sir! Don't you dare turn off that—"

The image went blank.

Megamind heaved a great sigh and idly petted the brainbots. Then he walked to the far side of the room, where he had thrown his collection of clothing, and awkwardly held the sheet with one hand while fumbling with his leather pants. He extracted his wallet and turned back to the brainbots.

"Here," he said, holding out a twenty-dollar bill. "Daddy needs you to take this, go to the bait shop, and buy Uncle Minion something nice. Some juicy worms or maybe some minnows. No, no, no," he admonished as one of them snapped at the money. "Not for chewing. Daddy will bring you a new wrench to play with when he comes home. Now go get Uncle Minion a treat."

The little robots circled him once by way of a goodbye, the lead one obediently taking the money in a dangling claw, and flew out the window. The last one ran into the windowsill, and Megamind sighed, scooped it up, turned back on its electronic eye, and patted it. It sped out the window, chattering irately at its receding fellows. Roxanne could almost imagine a running child shouting for his friends to wait up.

"Well," Megamind said, slumping to the bed. "That certainly woke me up. Maybe it would be simpler if you stayed over at the Lair next time." He grinned suddenly, his lightning-quick thoughts leaping to a new subject. "I'm starving! Where's that lasag-na?"

"For breakfast?"

"It's nearly eleven! Besides, it's better than cereal and wine."

Roxanne laughed. "I guess I can't argue with that." She sighed and got up, pretending not to watch Megamind as he dropped the sheet and began pulling on his clothes.

Megamind, thoughtful as ever, had put the food into the refrigerator sometime during the night.  The salad Roxanne had made had wilted, but the lasagna was wonderful once reheated. Sitting on the small balcony outside the glass double doors, they enjoyed the pleasant, invigorating bite of the autumn air. Megamind ate voraciously, but then, Roxanne supposed, he had gotten quite a work out the night before.

That thought made her chuckle.

"And just what do you find so amusing, Miss Ritchi?" he teased in that heart-melting tenor of his.

She looked at him, adorably happy with his favorite food and his favorite girl. It took so little to please Megamind sometimes, and his exuberance, coupled with his persona as a dark superhero, seemed both oxymoronic and oddly fitting. It was… relaxing and somehow comforting to be around someone who was so content.

"Has anyone ever told you you're cute?" Roxanne asked, dishing out another serving of lasagna to him.

He grinned at her. "Yes, actually. An inmate in Metrocity Prison when I was a toddler. His name was Kip Kendall— or at least that's what people called him. I'm not sure if Kip was a nickname, honestly. He'd been convicted of murdering some thugs who got on his bad side, and he was very possibly the toughest, meanest brute on Cell Block A. But he was always nice to me when I was young. Around anyone else he was stern and dangerous… Around me, well, he was the closest thing to a father figure I had. He used to play pattie-cake with me, if you can believe that, and carry me around the Yard on his shoulders. No one dared to mock him for it either— not even the guards— and if anyone thought less of him for it, they were smart enough to keep it to themselves." His eyes grew distant as a sad memory ghosted behind them. "I'll never forget the day Uncle Marlow—one of the other two inmates who took the most interest in my upbringing—took me aside and explained that Uncle Kip had gone. Kip had been given consecutive life sentences by a jury too forward-thinking to give a clearly unbalanced man the death penalty, but Cancer had other ideas. I'd known he was sick— they'd had to take him to the infirmary, and the last time I visited him there he seemed so… so unlike himself— but when he went it still felt… wrong. Sudden. I remember thinking how unfair it was that he left without saying goodbye."

Roxanne reached across the table, laying her hand over his, willing him to open his soul and let the old pain dissipate like dark mist in the sunlight.

"I remember feeling that way when—" Roxanne's voice caught. She'd never actually told anyone else this before. Not even the expensive psychologist her grandparents had taken her to for years. With a deep breath, she continued. "I remember feeling that way when my mom died. I was fifteen, in my senior year of high school, and someone told me I had to go to the principal's office. I kept thinking and thinking, trying to figure out what I'd done wrong, and then I saw Principal Hartwell's face. The school counselor and my granddad were with him. And I knew. Somehow I just knew," she paused, wrapping her arms around herself and staring at the glass tabletop. "I started crying before they could even tell me, and I kept asking how. I remember someone saying something about icy roads, and dozing off at the wheel, and how it was no one's fault. I hated that person for saying that. I wanted it to be someone's fault, to be able to blame somebody. I wanted to blame the car company for not making her sedan stronger, or the hospital for making her work that stupid double shift, or my sperm donor for leaving us so that she had to work so many hours in the first place. But more than anything else," she dared to lift her eyes to his, "for a long time, I wanted to blame her for not saying goodbye."

Megamind stood up and moved beside her chair to wrap one arm around her shoulders. She leaned into his warmth, laying her hand on his.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I had already left Metrocity High School by then. If I had known... I would have been there."

Roxanne laughed a little through her sorrow. "Yeah, that would have gone well... The city's new supervillain showing up to offer a spikey shoulder to cry on." She sighed and squeezed his hand. "You know you couldn't have, no matter how much you might have wanted to."

"I would have. I loved you even then, and I would have done anything for you." He kissed the top of her head. "I'm so sorry you lost your mother that way."

"It's alright. I mean, it's not alright, not really, but… It was a long time ago. I still miss her, but I've kept going. I've built a life for myself, just like she would have wanted." Roxanne sighed, but the sound held more relief than sadness. "You know, it's kind of nice to finally talk about it."

Megamind bent to lay his cheek on top of her head. She could almost hear the gentle smile in his voice. "It's nice to finally have someone to talk about it with," he said.

DISCOVER YOUR ANIMAL PERSONALITY !

Kit - YOU ARE A SEA LION!

SEA LION CHARACTERISTICS: Enthusiastic • Flirtatious • Charming • Plucky • Obstinate

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Otaria byronia

COLLECTIVE TERM: A splash of sea lions

AMIABLE AND ENTHUSIASTIC - These charming pinnipeds are agile, sleek and energetic with an eagerness of spirit that's irresistibly compelling. The sea lion can be described as a combination of the dog and dolphin personalities - part carnivore, part sea dweller; it is well groomed with an attractive mind and body. Like the dolphin, sea lions are pleasure connoisseurs who can be quite lazy when it comes to putting in a solid day's work. With the dog's loyalty and generosity, it manages to charm everyone with its effervescence. The sea lion’s irrepressible nature craves the spotlight and they enjoy performing, telling stories and hogging the attention of their large group of friends.

SEA LIONS ARE PROFLIGATE - Sea lions have little respect for the value of money, for even though they have the talent to accumulate vast wealth, they're much more likely to be found at the beach. Alas, the lack of money doesn't discourage the sea lion from those spending sprees that leave it in debt, and saving for the future is never a priority. Sea lions are forever emptying the penny jar or mooching a few bucks to buy a tuna sandwich.The sea lion's agile mind is exercised by long hours of debate on issues of philosophy. Their lazy dispositions, however, can result in conversations that lack substance and logical grounding, but they are curious about the universe and pay particular attention to numerology and astrology. Their cheerful dispositions belie a hot tempered core. When reacting assertively, their attack comes in the form of a sharp, barked retort and their slippery personas provide sufficient defense in the event of a counter-attack.

SEA LIONS IN THE WORKPLACE - Their smooth personalities are well suited to a wide range of sales positions. Whether selling real estate or motor vehicles, they are skillful, enthusiastic and sincere. Their straightforward, genuine desire to help others shines through in their work and they are instinctively trusted by their coworkers. However, their careers suffer from lack of motivation, for they are prone to rest on their laurels. An aggressive streak serves sea lions well in jobs that require physical and emotional strength, and they are a good fit for careers as police officers, air traffic controllers, paramedics or lifeguards. As entrepreneurs with high levels of self-esteem, sea lions confidently plunge into risky business ventures but this confidence is not always warranted. All too often they find themselves in both financial and social trouble although their natural buoyancy always helps them keep their head above water.

SEA LIONS IN THE WILD - Sea lions are one of the few land mammals that have returned to the sea to eke out a living. Supremely well adapted for life in a rocky, unpredictable environment, they have even evolved "rubber" ribs made from soft cartilage to protect them when swimming around rocks in high seas.Like their dolphin companions, sea lions have developed a rudimentary sonar system but their eyesight is the preferred hunting tool. It is the California sea lion that is commonly seen performing in circuses and animal parks, and the creature's intelligence and social expertise make it a perennial crowd favorite.

CAREERS & HOBBIES - Performing arts • Air traffic controller • Paramedic • Lifeguard Diving • Fishing • Volleyball • Astrology

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP - The sea lion's sex life is a hoot. Although its ardor and enthusiasm can make a partner feel as though they are the only person in its life, it quickly becomes apparent the sea lion feels the same way about many people. It's not that the sea lion wants to be unfaithful --it just doesn't like to say no. The sea lion is a sucker for flattery and its greatest aphrodisiac is someone showing an interest in it. Because they are in such high demand, sea lions rarely have to initiate romantic encounters.As a semi-aquatic creature, sea lions are compatible with a wide array of land and sea-based personalities. However, with the exception of the water-based swans and penguins, sea lions should avoid the irritating and unreachable birds.Clearly, its best partnerships are with those personalities that share its affinity for water. Dolphins, for example, understand the sea lion's need for independence and make for wonderful casual sex-partners, while for more serious relationships; the sea lion should consider the walrus, penguin, hippo, and otter.

Shop under renovation

Hello everyone! I’d like to announce that not only that the shop is under renovation but also that we are getting new (ridiculously sized) lamias!

and yes, the shop will still be open! We also do roleplays now!

Along with the new bitties, we will be getting some new staff:

Rocky, our new security guard! King won’t be here anymore as he recently has a clutch of eggs ready to hatch next week. Rocky will be taking over his position as he's much bigger, stronger and intimidating (totally not a huge softy)

Kate (another persona) is our newest caretaker for the ridiculously sized lamias! She's currently trying to get said lamias to trust her so she can take them back to the shop.

and Pie, our nursery caretaker, she’ll be taking care of the babybones and non-adoptable young ones since there's quite a few now and I only have 2 hands!

The new Lamia’s we will be getting aren’t named yet but we do know their snake breed so:

a 4′5 (min) to 9ft (max) African Rock Python type Underfell Papyrus type

a 6ft (min) to 10ft (max) semi-aquatic Anaconda Horrortale Papyrus type

and a 7ft (min) to 12ft (max) Boa Constrictor Horrorswap Sans & Papyrus

So yeah, big boys. And those are just the heights of them sitting down.

That's why this new shop section will be called: “The Land of The Ridiculously Big” because that's exactly what it is.

Extra:

Rocky is a UF Pap African Rock Python, Pie is a female Anaconda Horrortale Papyrus and Kate is my human persona. All will be seen around the shop often and are all very nice so please don’t worry, just don’t hurt the bitties and Rocky wont hurt you.

and the Horror Paps will come in male and female for a change! so hurray!

From the Tabletop #4

So, I have to confess the teaser paragraph from last time was complete and utter clickbait. None of those things happened. Not really anyway. Not sorry. I should also note that the aforementioned aquatic city of Flotsam was another homebrew location - when I brought it up last time I referenced it like it was a canon location. My apologies if anyone was confused on that. Anyway, last we left our circle, we deduced that our next stop would be Great Forks, a large city that is not easily-accessible by the water (there's a river but Scarlet's ship is a xebec, which is pretty large all told). But then our GM decided to be far, far cheekier than something that simple and we ended up in the islands at a tourist trap named... Grate Forks. Really, I'm only surprised that I was surprised. Being that we were on the beach, we decided to make the best of it. Gwyn and Scarlet set up a stand to sell off-brand sunglasses which, between the two of them, was a big hit. We were also encouraged to join a surfing contest for the honor of meeting the Big Kahuna. I honestly forgot who won (I was worried it would be a roll I would be terrible at, like Ride, but it turned out that had Scarlet entered, I likely would've had an edge, due to her being Performance-based), but long story short, we became local semi-celebrities overnight. Speaking of overnight, Scarlet was suddenly kidnapped by some goons and presented to "The Boss Lady", who had some choice words for Scarlet's attempting to get in on the off-brand sunglasses racket. For her part, the pirate attempted to explain that she was a legitimate businesswoman (mostly true, as she had a guild license at this point) and had no idea she was hurting anyone (completely true). She also joked how being tied to a chair was cause for "an extra charge" and the goons hesitated in hitting her as she encouraged them to in a... not PG-13 manner. Ultimately, Scarlet avoided a fancy new pair of concrete slippers by challenging the Boss and her men to a duel the next day, which somehow worked. The resulting duel was so hilariously one-sided I legitimately wonder if the GM expected us to actually win it. Scarlet was probably the best combat-ready character on the field and she was simply unable to land a hit. Now, admittedly, I was being conservative with my essence and charm use, so had I buffed my rolls I probably would've done more, but I also would've burned essence and eventually lit up like a Christmas tree to everyone in the damned town. So Scarlet nimbly parried and was just unable to manage a hit. Magpie faired worse and Volkenstein, much worse. The Boss Lady, his mentor/adoptive mother, and a Lunar, essentially dribbled him like a basketball both in the figurative and literal sense. Should've drank his milk. Anyway, having been laid out, Scarlet and the Boss Lady began talking over the defeated bodies of the others. Eventually, we came to an understanding and the battle ended via civil discourse. Ultimately, it was decided we could hang around provided we didn't try to set up shop again. We agreed to these terms and ventured further into town. Whereupon a Dragon King with an annoying voice decided to petition us for help. Turns out, some ruins on the far end of the island were under siege and Dragon King eggs laid within and were in danger. After a group huddle, we decided to go for it and help the sadsack out. This resulted in Scarlet being mis-identified as a high-ranking naval officer, which she decided to just roll with. GM: Hey, what color is Scarlet wearing right now? Me: Red. What color did you expect? GM: Okay... This worked rather well, as I was able to BS my way through their questioning, mostly because Volkenstein and Magpie couldn't speak a language they knew, so I was able to control the flow of conversation. Not helped, at all, that Magpie was doing everything she could to antagonise the DragonBlood liaison as much and as often as possible. God help me, I don't know why, but she did. We never saw anything of that barbarian persona anywhere else, just when she was being a complete asshole. Upon arrival, Scarlet actually became somewhat sympathetic to the DB's plight. Their commanding officer (recently given a field promotion due to many ranked deaths) was terrified beyond consolation and after a peptalk from Scarlet, she ALMOST talked their entire outpost into departing the area, leaving it to us to control the area without even lifting a finger. And then Gwyn had to talk. Completely undoing everything I had done in one fell swoop, he petitioned the stars for a sign, resulting in the image of a sword pointing down at the ruins. Gwyn interpretted this as we have to stay. All of us. And then it got worse when Magpie decided to practice medicine. This just escalated tensions further because, as said, Magpie couldn't stop being an asshole for this stretch. We also found a moonsilver sword run through a corpse and into a wall, which Scarlet managed to retrieve with a pretty solid strength roll. And then all Hell broke loose. Before we knew it, we were dealing with Not-King Ghidora, Volkenstein had hijacked a warmech, I was trying desperately to avoid getting killed by Volkenstein being a dumbass in his warmech, and then both sides went to killing each other en mass as a Lunar landed atop the mech and began hammering away at the cockpit. Admittedly, I missed a good deal of the setup to this due to poor timing in choosing to step away to use the restroom, so I could've been the one to get the mech, but, meh. Bad luck on that one. Thankfully, Volk did not, in fact, hit the "KILL EM ALL" button as he had presence of mind to ask the mech's AI if that was a good plan and ultimatedly decided it wasn't. As an aside, it was around this point in the campaign that serious fatigue with the One Piece plotline really began setting in for me. I like Scarlet as a character and she had some pretty cool moments, but it was starting to drag on a while and I had other character ideas in mind - one of which I should hopefully get to before too many more posts. Anyways, deciding to save Volk's dumbass, I rushed the Lunar (who I had no idea was a Lunar at that moment) and ran him through with my sword. Around the time his head turned like an owl's 180 degrees to look down at me, and noticing that my sword did sweet FA to him, did I realize my mistake. The man looked down at me (an impressive feat as Scarlet was supposed to be very tall for a woman) and asked if I knew the man in the cockpit. I immediately denied it and told him I would simply take my sword back and leave. He accepted this and I fukken legged it in the opposite direction. Scarlet leaped to the ground and found a metal hatch, leading to a shaft which went deeper underground. Figuring things couldn't be more fucked under than above ground, I had Scarlet plunge down, whereupon she found a massive, metal warship, with a mech all my own awaiting me. Using aforementioned moonsilver sword, I was able to activate it and found a means to the surface via elevator to join the fray, where Volkenstein - who I feel the need to reiterate was IN A GOD-DAMNED WARMECH - was getting his ass beat. Stepping in, I essentially cut Ghidora in half, bringing the battle to its very bloody end. Riding high on our victory and the acquisition of a metal carrier ship - lovingly named the Black Turtle by Scarlet - and two mechs, we sailed back to Grate Forks proper... only to completely forget we needed the rings the DBs had and had to go right back. God-damn it, I can be so fucking stupid sometimes. In the return trip, we procured the rings and the Dragon King eggs, which were promptedly delivered to the quest-giver. Turns out there were more aboard the Black Turtle, but the circle's collective response to this was to shrug and claim the ancient rite of "finders-keepers". At this point, our best leads took us to Malfeas next, so I split a portion of my crew and non-combat NPCs (like Esha Mae) to stay in Grate Forks with the Red Lion (my xebec, as I realize only now I never mentioned the name of my vessel prior), as the circle and combat-ready NPCs boarded the Black Turtle to make way for the Wyld as a shortcut of getting to Hell. Play Exalted long enough and sentences like that start sounding completely normal. While sailing through the Wyld, a rather unexpected thing happened as Gwyn noticed someone was... swimming after our ship. And gaining on us, no less! The assembled Oath Warriors, Gwyn, and Scarlet have a look and realize it looks an awful like like Valentinian in his full artifact armor, screaming Scarlet's name like a man possessed. A vicious battle ensued, as Scarlet became increasingly skeptical that this man was, in fact, her Valley. With some effort, he was felled, fading back into the mists of the Wyld, pretty much confirming that this entity was an "idea" of a version of Valentinian, not Valentinian proper. Faux Valentinian: All I wanted was gratitude for my sacrifices... Scarlet: Oh, poor Valley... Don't... don't ask me to explain the Wyld here. There's a reason it's "The Wyld" and not "The Normal". Before we knew it, we arrived in Hell, which is where I'll be calling it today. Join me next time as we: find Valentinian again! Sell both Volkenstein and Magpie to ne'er-do-wells! Go to a theme park in Hell! Nearly die! See you there!

Personality: While undercover as a pet platypus, Perry can be normally be found with his owners, Phineas and Ferb. As a pet platypus, he lives up to the expectations for a platypus and “doesn’t do much”. Even though Candace would normally describe him as just a mindless smelly animal, Perry still shows signs of intelligence when he’s pretending to be a normal pet, so she may mean insane rather than dumb. He is mostly serious while on duty as a secret agent, even in front of Major Monogram when he’s doing anything silly. Perry appears to be selfless and devoid of vanity. In the episode, The Best Lazy Day Ever, it is only after he turns everything else affected by the Ugly-inator back to normal and he turns himself back to his normal state. He deeply cares about the Flynn-Fletcher Family and is scared to lose them. He will take immediate action whenever they are threatened. He is nice to not only his allies, friends, and his family, but to his nemesis Dr. Doofenshimirtz as well, thought only on some occasions. He gets along with his siblings extremely well and he always brings them on missions right by his side to fight evil. He can get a little bit irritated by his brothers, Groucho Perry and Fez Perry, are both being themselves but he gets along with them well. As a dream demon, he is always serious and ready to make his move. Whenever he’s making a deal with someone, his greenish teal hand starts burning periwinkle flames. As a siren, he’s ready to show off his singing voice and feeds on the positivity around him.

[motleystitches]

A lot of dysfunctional people masquerading as “normal” IS a sign of fallen times or a culture on the brink of collapse as people’s personas overtake their existence and actual problems that need solving. There have been essays written on how Prequels are shiny but beneath the shine is corruption. None of the people from Padme to Obi-Wan to Anakin are at what you call a healthy psychological equilibrium. It’s canon that Qui-Gon gave Obi-Wan a lot of unresolved issues. A teenager “elected” as Queen of a planet divided by surface vs semi-aquatic speceism (seriously could Gungans even vote?) would not be perceived as a sign of peaceful times in any historiography. Padme is definitely more like a Hollywood child star than just an intelligent girl who went to college early. And Anakin is a plot device ready to explode.

listen. padme amidala is a freak, okay. ever since aotc i’ve had to listen to bullshit arguments about how awful the prequel romance is, how anakin’s a red flag, blah blah blah. that’s a smooth brain take. first of all, of course he’s a red flag. that’s the point. you think padme doesn’t know anakin is ten pounds of mommy issues in a five pound bag? you think she looked at soggy weeping anakin begging her to love him and didn’t immediately think “yes i definitely will peg him” ?? you think just because she’s a queen turned senator that she isn’t just as horny and feral as he is? anakin wasn’t even pushy about it. he was just “oh btw i’ve been obsessed with you for a decade and live in a perpetual state of emotional agony but thats okay whatever you want is fine with me haha” and padme goes “yea okay i’m into that.” two minutes after he’s assigned to be her bodyguard she gives an obligatory little “i have a bad feeling about this” and then just fucking marries him. this is a woman who wore white to a blood bath. come on.

Time to Infodump About My OCs

I’m working on a space pirate found family story. Humble beginnings to great things, but the real treasure is the friends we made along the way. Space is super queer and there’s a fascist, colonialist government cracking down on the galaxy. Enter an stubborn, idealistic pirate with dreams of claiming the legendary title of Dreadlord and securing his place in history, be it fame of infamy.

Some of the works that inspired this world are primarily Star Wars, One Piece and Pirates of the Carribean, but I also pull from Red Dwarf, Firefly, and other classic, campy science fantasy. In the same way that Star Wars is basically a samurai story in space, I’m aiming for a pirate story in space. All these characters are still in development, and there’s still a lot of blanks to fill in, but let me run you through the setup so far.

The captain is Tyranus Noble a young trans man from a backwater refining colony in the remote edges of the galaxy, a region known as the Reaches. He’s stubborn, hotheaded, impulsive, idealistic, big mouthed and a habitual liar. Technically not the best person, but is a dichotomy of nature and nurture. By nurture, he grew up among street gangs, came from a bad home, and lost his older brother, one of the few unwaveringly good people in his life at the time, when he was a young teenager. He’s learned to get what he needs and wants however he needs to get it, but ultimately he’s not malicious at heart. By nature, he’s ambitious and optimistic, but the maturity it takes to temper that ambition into something useful is part of the growing he needs to do.

He spends a lot of the story exploring, meeting new people and trying to get them to join his crew. I really liked the formatting of early One Piece and I liked that not every important character always joins, or even joins up immediately. To that end, I do know who’s eventually gonna be on his crew.

First to join officially is Massas “Moses” Del. She’s a six and a half foot tall, pink amphibious alien with some telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Loosely inspired by axolotls, her species is semi aquatic and she is a long way from home and trying to get back. She takes on the official role of pilot, but more importantly, she’s the heart of the group.

Filling a lancer type role for Ty, the next to join is a childhood friend to rival, Arlete Avon. She and Ty grew up in the same town and in a lot of ways their childhoods were similar. Ty joined the gang run by Arlete’s older sister, though ended up killing her sister in self defence. Arlete didn’t believe that it wasn’t intentional and this was shortly before Ty left. She’s just as stubborn and tough as Ty, though without his lofty ambitions. She joins when Ty returns home later on a job and they reconnect, making an effort to smooth out old wounds and eventually rekindle their friendship.

Dana Crane is actually on board with Ty longer than Moses, but she simply rents a room. She's an analytical and curious person with a special interest in bioengineering. She may seem off-putting and standoffish, and she is, but like Ty a hardened persona isn't representative of the truth which she keeps quiet about. She's a paranoid woman, on the run and legally she doesn't exist. She's taken great pains to separate herself from her childhood and doesn't like to talk about her past. She's not a total robot, as much as she wishes she was and uses her neural implants to store and process data, interface with technology and filter sensory input to help with overwhelm. A lot of the time she proves invaluable and eventually comes to join Ty's crew in a semi official sense.

There's gonna be more crew but because a lot of these ideas were forged in the fires on rps with my friend, character niches that were originally filled need to be rewritten so these parts are less detailed.

To round out the five man band there is a bounty hunter duo who come after Ty, one of whom ends up joining their crew instead, the other of whom Ty has a simmering homoerotic rivalry with. Working concepts are Like a swapped Luke/Leia kind of duo. One is a grace under pressure, cool headed, strong willed kind of homage to vintage action heroines. This would be the Leiaish who joins up with the crew to fund treatment for a fatal condition. The other is the pretty, fair, blonde, pouty, Channel boots wearing prince/son of a diplomat Luke analogue. He doesn't join the crew, but he and Ty have a thing.

There's still more to talk about and I'm doing some writing but I'll get to that when my hyperfocus comes around again.

Chesh

You are a Sea Lion:

Medium size

Enthusiastic

Flirtatious

Charming

Plucky

Obstinate

These charming pinnipeds are agile, sleek and energetic with an eagerness to their spirit that's irresistibly compelling. The sea lion can be described as a combination of the dog and dolphin personalities - Part carnivore, part sea dweller, it is well groomed with an attractive mind and body. Like the dolphin, sea lions are pleasure connoisseurs who can be quite lazy when it comes to putting in a solid day's work. With the dog's loyalty and generosity, it manages to charm everyone with its effervescence.

Sea Lions Are Profligate

Sea lions have little respect for the value of money, and even though they have the talent to accumulate vast wealth they're much more likely to be found at the beach. Alas, the lack of money doesn't discourage the sea lion from those spending sprees that leave it in debt, for saving for the future is never a priority and sea lions are forever emptying the penny jar or mooching a few bucks to buy a tuna sandwich.

The sea lion's agile mind is exercised by long hours of debate on issues of philosophy. Their lazy dispositions, however, can result in conversations that lack substance and logical grounding. Still, they are curious about the universe, paying particular attention to numerology and astrology. Their cheerful dispositions belie a hot tempered core. When reacting assertively, their attack comes in the form of a sharp, barked retort, but they have no natural enemies and their slippery personas provide sufficient defense in the event of an attack.

Sea Lions in the Workplace

Their smooth personalities are well suited to a wide range of sales positions. Whether selling real estate or motor vehicles, they are skillful, enthusiastic and sincere. Their straightforward, genuine desire to help others shines through in their work and others instinctively trust them. However, their careers suffer from lack of motivation, for they are prone to rest on their laurels. Their irrepressible nature craves the spotlight and they enjoy performing, telling stories and hogging the attention of their large group of friends.

An aggressive streak serves sea lions well in jobs that require physical and emotional strength, and they are a good fit for careers as police officers, air traffic controllers, paramedics or lifeguards.

As entrepreneurs with high levels of self-esteem, sea lions confidently plunge into risky business ventures. This confidence is not always warranted however, and they often find themselves in both financial and social trouble. Luckily, their natural buoyancy always helps them keep their head above water.

Sea Lions in the Wild

Sea lions are one of the few land mammals that have returned to the sea to eke out a living. Supremely well adapted for life in a rocky, unpredictable environment, they have even evolved "rubber" ribs made from soft cartilage to protect them when swimming around rocks in high seas.

Like their dolphin companions, sea lions have developed a rudimentary sonar system but their eyesight is the preferred hunting tool. It is the California sea lion that is commonly seen performing in circuses and animal parks, and the creature's intelligence and social expertise make it a perennial crowd favorite.

Careers & Hobbies

Performing arts

Air traffic controller

Paramedic

Lifeguard

Diving

Fishing

Volleyball

Astrology

Love & Friendship

The sea lion's sex-life is a hoot. Although its ardor and enthusiasm can make a partner feel as though he or she is the only person in its life, it soon becomes apparent the sea lion feels the same way about many people. It's not that the sea lion enjoys being unfaithful --it just doesn't like to say no.

The sea lion is a sucker for flattery and its greatest aphrodisiac is someone showing an interest in it. Because they are in such high demand, sea lions rarely have to initiate romantic encounters.

As a semi-aquatic creature, sea lions are compatible with a wide array of land and sea-based personalities. However, with the exception of the water-based swans and penguins, sea lions should avoid the irritating and unreachable birds.

Clearly, its best partnerships are with those personalities that share its affinity for water. Dolphins, for example, understand the sea lion's need for independence and make for wonderful casual sex-partners. For more serious relationships, the sea lion should consider the walrus, penguin, hippo, and otter.

What kind of animal do you see Zootopia!Hook as?

Killian Jones SAYS he’s a Tasmanian Tiger, even though general consensus is they’re extinguished. He flashes his striped flanks, legs and tail at whoever contradicts him and uses his extraordinary looks and his “last of his kind” story to get the ladies. He has this rugged sort of persona and devil-may-care attitude that has allowed him to sell his story.

In reality he’s a Yapok or water opossum, literally a semi-aquatic opossum. His dad just happened to be a striped hyena and he inherited part of his colouring and his size from him.

This is a yapok, btw:

They happen to be native to Argentina. I think they capture his essence. 

Are you with me on this, @phoenixwrites?
