Baby Cyno

Cyno is a baby and toddler regressor. Which means he needs a lot of assistance in most things, even if he doesn’t want it.

King of pouting. He’s too small to be angry, his intimidating tactics don’t work as well as they do when he’s big, he becomes a angry lil’ guy.

Non-speaking little cub, he becomes really closed off, and pretty shy. Cyno communicates with hand gestures, eyebrow movements, small vocal noises, and a little notebook.

Speaking of his notebook, Tighnari and Collei made it for him! It includes words of affirmation, doodles to color in, reminders and rules, and of course communication cards he can point to.

Cyno only openly says one coherent word; Nari (Tighnari). He can also mention other names at times; ‘Tam (Alhaitham), Kaka (Kaveh), and ‘Reus (the stuffed Wolf blanket that Collei made him).

Collei LOVES crafting for Cyno!! She made him a blanket plush based off his hat, and he’s never let go of it. She’s Cyno’s art teacher, all his drawings are put in a memory book she’ll pull out to show proudly. She’s also in the process of making a softer version of his hat so it won’t be as heavy whenever he wears it.

Collie’s not the only one spoiling the desert kiddo. Kaveh makes stuff for little Cyno as well, such as noise-cancelling headphones and an adult mouthpiece for him. (He also made a music box- not that easy to make, he had to admit, but seeing Cyno regress almost immediately at the sound made it worth it).

Kaveh ADORES little Cyno. He’s the “Someone’s getting sleepy” type of caretaker. In fact, Kaveh holds him, Tighnari plays with his hair, and Alhaitham reads.

Autism Alhaitham real. He’s still learning about regression but he understands Cyno more than the others. He has a bias to baby Cyno for being a quiet little. He likes to read his books out loud, even if Cyno can’t understand its complexity.

He made his own set of small space TCG cards. His deck consists of Nari, Cyno and Collei-flower.

There’s toys that are meant to represent maths and statistics, but to be truthful, Cyno loves messing with those bars with multicolored beads to push from side to side, balancing each color.

Speaking of, Cyno is a sorting little. Give him anything and he’ll sort it. Sometimes by categories, and sometimes by his own personal opinions.

Keep this boy inside. With shoes on. And lotion. Leave him far away from icky moisture and bugs.

Berry yogurt made by Tighnari is his go-to, especially if there’s a side of small snacksables like nuts to mix with.

Lil peacekeeper also likes to smack people in the head with his hand. A small little “whamp”.

Cyno gets a lot of nightmares from his childhood as a test subject, and most of the time he wakes up regressing or he already slipped. In those cases, he grabs his gear until he can talk to Tighnari.

Speaking of which, Little Cyno is a needy one. He’ll fuss when being held but mainly cuz he wants to act big. He would be happy being held and cuddled all the time if he could.

Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).

You might know this tiny frog.

This is Mini mum (photo by Andolalao Rakotoarison), a species I had the pleasure to name—together with a team of amazing colleagues—back in 2019.

That was the start of a fascination with the process and consequences of miniaturisation for vertebrates. How the hell does this tiny frog manage to fit all of its vital organs—more or less all the same senses and organs that we have—into a package the size of a tic-tac‽ Why and how has it evolved to be so small? And why don't we get frogs that are much smaller?

Well, I just secured 1.5 MILLION Euros (!!!) in the form of a European Research Commission Starting Grant, to answer these and other related questions in the genomes of Mini frogs and other miniaturised vertebrates.

Because it turns out, there are *lots* of miniaturised vertebrates, and they push the boundaries of how small we think it is possible for a vertebrate to be! Here is a little graphic of some of them, scaled to a BIC ballpoint pen.

The project is called GEMINI: The Genomics of Miniaturisation in Vertebrates! You can read more about it on my website here, and in the press release, here!

Y'know sometimes I wonder what Ras reaction was to the Justice League. Like he practically offered Bruce the chance to be one of his generals, straight up offered for him to be his heir, and was turned down.

Do you think he's offended. Because oh, so his organization isn't good enough, but that merry band of idiots is?!
