#so here's some info about me and my critters :3

[loupy-mongoose]

Unfortunately I'm still struggling with this funk I'm in. I keep having moments where I get excited about something, and then suddenly I'm just not feeling it anymore. (I suspect it's partly because of "that time of the month".) It's frustrating. >m<

But I was able to complete some special non-drawing artworks that I can share!

If, uh... anyone remembers me mentioning a sewing project I started however long ago that was, I finally got around to finishing that! ...And then immediately dove into another one. XD (I know I said I'd make a post about the process--I still hope to do that someday. Although now it's at least three posts worth of info lol.)

Soooooo... Here's the subject of that project!

This is the little critter that will be my plush Aneira! (Randy and Akoya's far-future daughter, for those who don't know or forgot.)

I tried to give her a slightly shorter left foot, to match her canon design, but the foot that ended up shorter was the right one. Sooo... I maaaay change that in-story as well. X3

But my follow-up project is something more special to me.

I wasn't satisfied when I set the two custom Mews up with the one I had bought specifically to be Randy.

So... I made him too. :3

And then I got a silly little idea.

I let them hold hands~

Every new plushie I make beats out the previous one as my favorite work of art, and Randy is no exception. I'm super proud of how he turned out, and happy to have him and let him cuddle with his beloved IRL! <3

Oh, and I also made a little necklace for Akoya with some beads I found at work.

She's purtty now. :3

Meet: Ouřa Thorn!

Hi hi I have a hyper fixation on the smiling critters the size of fricking Saturn and all you amazing beans are making me feral enough to post on this site again PFTT- SO here’s my take of the space rider au that was made by the AMAZING @onyxonline (dude your art is like my world rn good job 👍🏾✨)

Also what would I be without a lil lore drop so that’s all below hehe :3

Ouřa Thorn is based off of a Armadillo girdled lizard, though due to their horns, and massive size, many confuse them for a dragon or a wyvren of some sorts (not that they care to correct).

They joined the space riders in their teens, and just never left- doing the odd jobs where ever they could, cleaning, cooking, maintaining crafts, ect. They had no powers to their knowledge, and if they did they weren’t noticeable or activated yet.. and well many crews don’t have room or need for a wannabe space maid. So Ouřa Thorn stayed at the base.

They were fine with this, they would be a little bit of a sore thumb in the crew since lack of fighting skills, powers, and that they couldn’t wear any of the cool uniforms without shredding them with their spines. (Sure they could flatten them, but it only takes one spook for them all to spike up and poke someone or rip something :<)

The world however, always has other plans. Whilst they were working in the supply section, checking out crates that came with make, gear, food, what ever critters had mailed to base had to checked through carefully to ensure nothing sketchy was put inside. Standard precautions, and for a good reason.

One of the closer priests had tried to mail some their followers straight to the base to try and breach and take over it, or to lay low and snoop out info.

Ouřa Thorn heard one of their fellow mail sorters shriek as a gang of the cults follows breached into the docking bay. Sirens filled the air as the base was alerted of the breach, and hopefully some of the riders would be able to get to the docks and stop the cult before any casualties or damage happened.

When the riders arrived at the scene- well. It was quite the scene. Ouřa Thorn always had powers. They just need the right amount of pressure to kick start it.

Under the stress of critters they cared about being in danger from the cult, Ouřa Thorn gained their only ability. Their symbol is the Ouroboros, representing the cycle of rebirth and destruction, as well as the World Serpent.

Over all, it was a little bit of a shock of see a massive Lindworm aggressively hoarding all of the docking staff while hissing angrily at a heap of cultists, laying still on the floor.

This form is absolutely a last choice move, due to its destructive behavior and the factor that it is high in energy to maintain, leaving Oura Thorn exhausted afterwards. Though with all those spines and thick skin, they’re practically a tank for charging through lines hehe.

After the docking incident, their started to consider being a space rider :>

[ivi-ivisek]

My first fully rendered drawing in my regular style with ClipStudioPaint and I drew no one else than my sona Ivulka. It's been ages since I drew her fully rendered instead of just doodles so I simply had to draw her and I'm going to use this as an excuse to ramble about her and people here can finally know what on earth is that thing in my pfp

So Ivulka is some kind of a chimera dragon thing. Not sure if she can be concidered as a chimera but her body possess features of other animals such as bat ears mixed with caracal, Luna moth appendages on the wings, reindeer antlers and neck fluff and the rest of her body is a mixture of otter and tree kangaroo. Yeah and she also has a hidden stingray stinger and a kangaroo pouch

She may have mammalian features but she's not a mammal, nor a reptail. Scientifically she'd belong into own class. Maybe something in between...?

Once I made a doodle about her design

If you're wondering, those things under her ears are not feathers. I don't know what it is but I like it c:

Some general info:

Loves wearing hoodies

Listens to music all the time (has MP3 player)

Likes taking photos of critters

Hoarder/collector

Aprox 158 cm high (ears and antlers not included)

Absolute control over water element (liquid, ice, steam, water bending)

invisibility for short periods of time

She's been around since 2016 and she went through changes

The 2016 version is basically a classical feral furry dragon. I drew this before I joined DeviantArt which was 2017. I actually never shared this

The 2017 version is still just a furry dragon but I made her anthro and this was her official introduction when I joined DA. I still like this version even tho its outdated and I like in general how I drew her back then.

In 2018 she was slowly becoming more chimera like.

In 2019 she went through a bigger update. she was still recognizable but I changed her more than the pervios version and this is the version that still holds up to these days. I wanted to give her more specific features and add more things I like and feels more like me. I still love this version and how I drew Ivulka in general.

The 2021 version... this version... not gonna lie I don't like how I drew her. This is my least favorite drawing of her. I don't know what was going on in my head back then but her head looks more canine than otter she's supposed to be. I also don't like the shading but I have an excuse for this. This is from when I started to draw with my tablet and Medibang and I was experimenting with shading.

Then there is this 3 years long gap when I didn't draw Ivulka fully rendered or at least not in full body. Instead I drew a lot of doodles. After I got my tablet and medibang I've been drawing her like crazy

This is only a little of what I drew :>

Anyways, I'm so happy how current version turned out. this 2024 version is definitely my most favorite. <3

[carrionhearted]

HIII I hope you don’t mind me answering this over here @seagull-spouse :3 To anyone else reading this, If you’re squeamish, this may not be a fun read… so be warned!! I’m no expert of course, just an autistic little freak with a special interest in dead things, so this is just what works for me!

My top 2 de-fleshing methods are: Maceration, and… bugs.

Maceration is ye’ ole bucket of water + dead thing soup basically, creates a home for helpful bacteria to chew the flesh into goop! Ideally it’ll slough off the bones naturally with time, though some stubborn bits may need to be removed manually. It’s a very stinky and very goopy method. It takes a long time unless you live in a consistently warm environment, or are using an aquarium heater to keep your soup warm (I reccomend a MAX of 85 degrees Celsius, DO NOT BOIL THE BONES, it’ll bake the grease into them forever and ever. Greasy oily yellow bones are very yuck). The only times I manually carve off flesh preemptively are when I’m macerating something large— like a deer skull!

I personally prefer the “bugs”/ “let nature do it” method. Find a nice patch of soft damp soil to place your dead thing on (it’s gotta be in direct contact with the soil), then cover it with something like chicken wire, or a wire garbage can, or one of those inner plant pots with drainage holes— some sort of barrier that bugs can crawl in through, but big critters can’t. Then cover it with an opaque tarp or a black garbage bag, leaf litter even— something that blocks out the light and keeps in the moisture. Then weigh the edges down with heavy rocks so no big scavengers can steal your goods! This dark damp n soil-y environment creates a bug paradise basically, they can get in through the wire holes/ up through the dirt, and FEAST all throughout the day (they like to work in darknesss)! I like to check progress every week or so, but they work pretty fast— and leave some pretty clean bones. You may have to use warm water to pry off some stubborn bits of flesh, but beyond that… this method is pretty hands off and tidy. Hope you don’t mind bugs and mold though.

That being said, whenever possible, I like to preserve more than just the bones. Small animals (IF FRESH) can be dry-preserved in bits and pieces— things like rabbits feet, bird wings, bird claws, other rodent limbs, you get the idea. This is where “taking apart” the animal becomes a concern— your best tool is anatomical knowledge. When severing off bits, you wanna go for the joint— so know what you’re looking for, feel around to find it and cut right in between the socket. Pocket knives and tiny surgical scissors are my go to tools. Once you’ve got your bits isolated, submerge them in a mixture of 1 part salt, 1 part borax— in a container that you can close off and keep somewhere room temperature and dry. If you don’t have borax, you could use 100% salt *OR* cornmeal for really small specimens— but it’s a bit riskier. Borax also helps clear up funky death smells. Make sure anything you put in is fully submerged, and remember the position you put it in will be its forever position! Wait time depends on what exactly you’re preserving— something like teensy birds feet may only take a week, whereas rabbits feet/ raccoon paws could take months! You can check on it throughout the process. You’ll know it’s done when it’s totally firm and dry, and relatively odourless.

Also ok. What I’m about to say may be frightening. But Reddit is a very good info resource for this stuff. The bonecollecting, vultureculture and boneID communities are actually really useful! OK RAMBLE OVER for now EXCUSE THE INFODUMP I like bones

It is preferred that you ask for certain things on this exact blog, mostly because the notifications on my other blogs don’t always work

[tatters-the-bat]

Hi there!

Figured I should make a proper pinned message at some point.

I'm Tatters, your local fluffy flying fox! :3 Main fursona is the bat in question, secondary is a honeybee named Lore.

I go by she/they/it, and post all my art on here as well as reblogging stuff I like. Multifandom and my hyperfixations change often lol, my top fandoms are FNAF, Undertale/Deltarune, Pokemon, Crypt of the NecroDancer, MLP, Rain World, and Hollow Knight.

Big fan of small animals, especially bugs! (As such, trigger warning for bug and spider pictures, i usually tag them with #bugs and #spiders but i might miss 'em!)

If you like my work, following and/or reblogging helps a lot! I love getting comments on / asks about my stuff too!! :3 My comms are usually open. If you're interested or just want to support me, check out my Ko-Fi! Thanks for reading!

Original Universes:

Fauxtail City - A large, sprawling city where most of my anthro OCs live. Set on the scenic Ambiscale Bay, the city is - uniquely compared to other cities in its world - divided into districts that accommodate the needs of different species. There are five - Woodland, Aquatic, Polar, Mountain, and Desert. While it is mostly a nice place to live, behind the scenes there is a power struggle, between the crime organization known as the Butterfly Knives, and the mildly corrupt, cheap, and lazy City Council.

Synfall - The underworld of a realm known as Eclypson. It is similar to many other Hell depictions, fire and brimstone, except that its leaders have discovered how to harness thermal energy and have built a capitol metropolis! There's a very strict social hierarchy, with imps at the waaay bottom and the archdemons and King Lucifer at the top. (Lucifer and his cabinet are merely named after demon princes; they are not one and the same.)

Floristead - Set in a future long beyond an apocalypse that left human civilization barren to be reclaimed by nature, Floristead is a land centered on the worldtree Serarchbor. Sentient plant creatures, Botanomorphs, have risen to become the dominant species thanks to its influences on the land.

Ectopolis - A spectral city only visible and tangible to ghosts. Newly dead souls make their way here in order to visit The Pool, a large, mysterious collection of colorful Ectoplasm that souls then use to make new ghost forms for themselves. The spectral plane has other settlements and is spread all across Earth's atmosphere, but Ectopolis is the biggest by far due to the presence of the Pool. It is run by Mayor Hyper, who is one of the only ghosts to be formed by the high-energy splotches of Ectoplasm that rarely form on the surface of the Pool, called Hyperplasm.

Tag Stuff:

#my art - My own artwork! - #oc art - For all my various original characters. Feel free to send in asks about any of them, I LOVE rambling about literally all of them!!!! - #sona art - For specifically art of Tatters, Lore, Mally, and Glimmer. - #fanart - For stuff I make that's based on existing properties. - #ship art - For any fandom shipping, I don't do it often but i love a choice few :3 - #art comms - Comm work I've done for other people! #tatters squeaks - Usually general rambles that may or may not mean anything.

All three also can include art I find of such! #cute art / #cool art - Reblogged art tags! I didn't have foresight when making the cute art tag that I would reblog art that isn't necessarily trying to be cute, so I just threw on "cool art" as a more generic one xD

[loderlied]

can you talk through your wotr builds/how you developed each character? especially for oleander, bc he FASCINATES me

- @tyrword

hii thank you!! yeah ollie (nickname! everyone is allowed to use it <3) is an interesting critter lol. so, he’s a demon mythic path blight druid focused on poison and disease spells and prefers to use the shambling mound wild shape form (i know it’s not meta but i’m playing on normal so i don’t care lol). my character development process is just yelling oc ideas in my brain until one sticks and then obsessively thinking about them while listening to songs that fit them (i’m sorry). the only things i knew i wanted out of his character before playing was being lamashtan. oh, and he was also vaguely inspired by the “evil creature commits atrocities because it’s taking care of it’s children” horror trope. here’s a neat character sheet that summarises some info about him! (link to the blank)

sol is a lawful neutral half elven possessed oracle (flame mystery) with one level in paladin (divine hunter) for backstory reasons. i’m not that far into their playthrough yet, but they will be going aeon later on! sol’s creation process is bit different, since they are a character who already existed before i played wotr, i just changed little elements of their story to fit the world. i don’t have one of these sheets for sol, so here and here are some posts where i go more into detail about them.

wual is still in development actually, like i have some things (lich -> legend, undead, gendarme, wendu romance) rn but she’s not too polished atm, sorry!

(also i haven’t seen much of your guys yet but i am soo intrigued by dolus!!!!)

hiii um. this is gonna sound really weird and silly but im looking to do wcue gamepass comms? they added gamepass gifting and im willing to draw art for some since i dont have a job and am NOT spending money on the game

thats my toyhouse bulletin about it, but if you cant access it, heres the copy / pasted text

(start of pasted)

so i play wcue a lot to make cat designs bc i am NOT creative  right

and i dont want to actually spend money on the game bc i dont currently have a job (been applying to a couple places but most wont hire at my age or is just work i cant do)

so uhhhh. doing art comms for wcue gamepasses !!!!! since they added buying gamepasses for others yk :3

heres what im looking for:

-furs bundle -marbled markings -braided stripes -heterochromia -extra body markings -markings mini-bundle

i can do in exchange:

-scenes (for the most expensive ones, either marbled markings and furs bundle)

-fullbodies or off base customs (for the rest)

i can draw any feline / canine or similar critters, rain world slugcats, lizards, and scavengers, and i can kinda draw iterators but uhhhh not well SHSGSHD

sharing is appreciated !!!!!!! idk im a big fan of making designs and stuff :3 i really need more variety its not really. easy or fun to give a lot a variety, esp in fur / patterns !!

thank you !!!!!!!!!

(end of pasted)

but yeah !!!! when im stressed or overwhelmed or just feeling bad i make morphs in the game to help give me idea for actual designs or for stories or anything, its just a lot of fun, but since i got locked out of my old account i no longer have any gamepasses and its kinda sad since i have such limited variety in what i can make

please dm me on here, comment on the toyhouse bulletin, or ask for my discord tag (in tumblr dms preferably) to get more info / discuss !!!!

thank you so so so much i would really, really, really appreciate anything <3

Helluva boss S2E6 thoughts of a rando w spoilers obvi

guess who finally learnt about cuts mfs

So fire-traumatised Fizz x fire-true form Oz?

The ways I can see it, from my least liked to most:

Fizz doesn’t know Oz’s true form; Oz has gone to great lengths to hide it knowing Fizz’s backstory.

Fizz knows of Oz’s true form and Oz tries to keep himself in check around Fizz.

Fizz knows of Oz’s true form; though initially afraid, both have worked so that Fizz is comfortable around Oz regardless of form though Oz does still control himself.

Also, is each sin gonna have a specific animation thing? Bee got lava lamp, Oz got fire (more than others have). I’m not a creative, I haven’t a clue what the others’d be.

Number 3! Dog with no back legs reminded me of my dead girl! It nice! Though cynic in me is saying that one is also albino just so it’s noticeable to the audience. Have some faith in us, Spindle! You could also put focus on it in other ways — hell it has more focus put on it when it’s the last one eating the guy on the catwalk & the one leading the pack.

(It’s also the first one shown via eyes). Emphasis is put on this one a whole bunch. I get that it has prostheses like Fizz. We will notice that without the metaphorical or whatever word is accurate here arrows going “do you get it??”. The dog is also predominantly white with red if that’s intentional to link them even more. In that case make that critter have more of an impact on Fizz than just another one of his pets. Show him hugging it at the end of the ep instead of the pets just all disappearing once Fizz is kidnapped (and saying they’re fine in the subtitles; if it’s important info you want to say you say it in the ruddy ep. I, who was excited to properly watch an ep first time through, opted to turn off way before because the jokes being put there weren’t landing for me).

Oh ah thing! Small change to the apology I’m choosing to believe was done by mistake. Blitzo says something like “I lost something too”. If this is meant to be a genuine apology, rephrase to something like “I focused on different priorities”. It’s still an explanation that keeps him talking about his actions and his responsibility. That’s what an actual apology is about.

Aight aight final thing, what’s up with the “supremacist” comment? I haven’t rewatched stuff in a while and I’m not the best analyst but Striker always seemed to be more “take the royals down a peg or ten” than “imps are better than everyone else and should rule instead of the current royals”. Yeah he had a whole “we [Striker & Blitzo] are better than other imps” thing. But that’s 2 individuals he says are better than other imps. One is him. And one is the person who was in his way (genuine sentiment used or not, you can’t really deny this bit). He’s self-aggrandising, not a supremacist. “Words have meaning” kind of thing, especially such a loaded one.

CHARACTER TASKS.

From AZUL ASHENGROTTO:

I have recently been informed about the concept of a “critter cafe.” I cannot see the appeal of letting such unsanitary beings roam free in a restaurant establishment, nevertheless risk violating various health violations in the pursuit of “cuteness.” However, these establishments are becoming increasingly more popular despite the risks. Therefore, I am looking for a fellow culinary aficionado to join me in visiting one of these establishments. I would prefer someone with reliable insight into this trendy yet dangerous phenomenon.

We will be visiting “Meowning Glory” cafe, home to an assortment of… interesting felines. As long as your expenses do not surpass thirty thaumarks, I shall cover your meal. If your name is Ruggie Bucchi, you are prohibited from accepting this task.

From RUGGIE BUCCHI:

So, uh, I kinda need some assistance, right? Because I’m helpin’ this squirrel find some nuts and totally not anythin’ else super important, ‘kay? No askin’ questions!

When I moved out, I didn't leave on good terms. I didn't even tell my parents I was leaving, honestly "moved out" isn't really how I'd describe it, I waited till they were on a trip and I ran away.

To gain my freedom and safety i lost almost everything: my family, my home, my cat, my sense of self because I'd lived 20 years being only what my parents wanted and nothing else.

Family was the biggest loss. I live in the same town as some extended family, but I didn't know who I could trust. You know how it is, someone might just be trying to keep tabs on me to report back to my parents, or every meeting might just be them trying to guilt me or convince me to go back to my parents.

I ignored and avoided my extended family for months because I was so scared of having to cut them off (which i would do if they tried to fight me on my decision).

But recently I've been going through my first ever breakup. And it sucks, despite the nature of my life thus far, this has been the worst pain I've ever felt.

But you know what's made it better?

My family. (Extended, still not talking to my parents lol but that's for the best)

First my sister, we reconnected after almost a year of radio silence and it has been amazing! I've missed her the most since moving out and she's just as amazing as I remember her! I'll probably write a whole post just about her but she's great and I'm so happy to have her in my life again ♡

Then there's my aunt and my cousin. My aunt let me come over when I was really upset, she talked with me about healthcare and helped me look at cars on Facebook marketplace. She took me and my cousin to get Subway and it was amazing. She opened her home to me when I really needed it even tho we haven't been super close, and that means more to me than anything right now ♡

My cousin sends me memes and funny pictures on Snapchat, she showed me how to play her favorite card game and we watched sitcoms together and played minecraft. We went shopping together and she helped me find good makeup and bought me a hot cocoa ♡

One of my grandpas (i call him Papa) has been checking in on me and sending me pictures of his cats and all the critters that stop by his house, lots of deer and pigeons, because he knows I love pigeons ♡

Not family but honestly i wish they were, my coworker has been checking in on me literally every single day since the breakup. I get a text every day: "How are you doing today pookie?" And I love it, it makes me feel so cared for and loved ♡ This coworker has also been planning a hangout but I had to cancel last time because I was at my aunts house but we will reschedule! ♡

Another coworker recently messaged me and said that if I need anything he's here to help, then he sent me the 23rd Psalm, which is my favorite passage of the Bible. I never told him that, somehow he just knew to send it, and it was exactly what I needed that day ♡

One of my friends (who i joke is my new dad) brought me a cheesecake and has been sending me pictures of her cat to cheer me up ♡

That friends sister (who I joke is my peepaw now) had been helping me with car stuff and job stuff and just life stuff in general lol ♡

My best friends have been beyond amazing, one of them sends me pins on Pinterest and tells me about what she's doing in college, it really takes my mind off everything and I love it. She sends me Bible verses when I ask for them, she is literally genuinely the greatest person I've ever met and will ever meet ♡

My also best friend (and wife (jk)(I wish tho)(I mean I'm single now so)) got groceries delivered to me which was so sweet. She asked me what frozen dinners and drinks and fruits and such I like and she got me all of them, including 3 pounds of grapes, which is the best gift anyone could ask for ♡

Another friend who i actually met through my ex has been chatting with me like every day. We both info dump to each other about obscure cartoon characters or video games, he's amazing and i love talking to him, even if my relationship failed, I gained him as a friend so it's worth it to me ♡

Overall: i feel so loved ♡

God truly gave me the family and friends i need right now, even when things are hard, and believe you me life is very hard right now, He's still looking out for me ♡

Writing your First Chapter (Part 1)

There are tons of things that go into making a killer first chapter. Here are just a couple of things to consider.

Introducing your Protagonist and Making us Care

When writing your first chapter, you’ll be introducing your protagonist. When introducing your hero, here are some things to keep in mind:

1) We have to care about them (to want to follow them on their journey). This is typically done by giving your protagonist weaknesses and flaws or even quirks we can relate to. Your protagonist could be a grumpy, cold-hearted thief... but if they give half their findings to homeless children, our heartstrings are suddenly pulled on.

2) Don’t info-dump their backstory or appearance right away. Only give the reader what they need to know to understand the scene at hand. You especially don’t want to have your hero standing in front of a mirror describing themselves to the readers when you only have so many pages to hook a reader. You’ll have plenty of time to go into the details on your character later. This leads me to my next point...

3) Leave your readers wanting more. This is how you create page-turning chapters. If your protagonist has a mysterious limp... don’t reveal why right away. If their flaw is that they hate magic and refuse to use their birth gift... leave the reader guessing why. Little mysteries like that will keep readers subconsciously turning the page to figure out why. Just make sure you eventually give them the answer.

Foreshadow your Theme(s)

As early as you can, you’ll want to show readers what to expect in your book. Authors can do this by foreshadowing. Think of it as a “mini-scene” or description that gives the reader a taste of what’s to come. 

This can be a as small as a sentence or as long as a paragraph or scene. 

“I hadn’t been this dumb in years, hadn’t strayed this far from the Wall since... well since it fell. But I couldn’t help myself. I saw a squirrel runnin’... and catching one of those little critters would land me a handful of coin.”

Right away, the reader knows to expect themes of poverty and survival.

Ground your Readers, but don’t over do it.

Your first chapter is critical in catching your reader’s attention-- so you don’t want to use up all your words on describing the setting. This is unwise, because, during this time, you need to be making us care about your hero and their actions.

Instead, show the reader only what they need to know to understand the scene. Too much description will slow down the story. 

However, if your story has an unusual or unique setting, this can be used as a hook. Although, as a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to write only what is necessary and dive into those beautiful descriptions later.
