Sleepover Shenanigans???

My partner @akikothefuzzball and I were in call one night and decided to have a discord sleepover (sleep in call together to some music), but since we had our music bot in call with us playing some tunes, and we just so happen to have it nicknamed "DJ Music Man"... we came up with this goofy scenario of Me, Artem, and DJMM just having a sleepover together and what dumb sleepover games we would play 💀

I jokingly mentioned "spin the bottle" because the idea of it was funny to me that if I spun it, I'd be happy with either person it lands on, but Artem and DJ are just homies and so if one of them spun it, then they would have a 50% chance of it being really awkward 💀 (for extra context, in this hypothetical, My partner, Artem, and I are dating, and DJ and I are also dating, but Artem and DJ are just friends. Artem is also dating (I think) the DCA so we are all just in a wacky poly relationship I guess? XD)

Anyway. I made a dumb little comic because of that:

hehehahehahehaeh

I'm double gay :'D

(Cracks knuckles) Alright folks I remember how to draw

Fat fuck Vulpes by yours truly, Blaze Lander. Inspired by the lovely drawing by @yourmateyoya ,egged on by @legions-top-dog , and because i force you to deal with all my shitty drawings, @noomycatz

Yes, once again, i have put too much effort into a shitpost. Roughly 2 hours as I reused a canvas on ibis paint for a 5th drawing lmao

Yall can burn me at the stake later lol

Process below hehe i like to ramble

And just because i like to talk about my drawing process for characters with complex outfits, this is how my lobotomy brain does it:

First i do silly fun colored sketch. I use different colors to differentiate the "skeleton" from the, euh, fleshy bits, and the clothing. You can see lots of lines that would not be shown in the final product so it makes it confusing to look at.

Next i do a clean sketch.

This is where i clean up everything before doing the final lines. I use one color and a thin brush to make it easier to line over. Here i add any extra bits (like the top football armour) and "render the physics" as i call it, so properly drape cloth and the uhhh squish of stupid fat fuck vulpes' boobs and stomach. I also will balance the drawing here by flipping it and redrawing or using the drag tool.

Next is lining.

For this drawing, i used a 9.0 digital pen with a taper. Its my standard :þ. I kept my pen at the same size for this piece. Sometimes i line the outside darker to make the drawing stand out more. I decided not to as i wanted to give the drawing a more "serious" tone. (How serious can this be though lol-)You may notice on the arms little bits of the lines are missing, thats because i gave him some arm hair. I like make little details like that show over the lines. But since the one shading technique i used works with clipping masks, i had to but the arm hairs on a layer lower than the line art. Next is colour:

I colour in the drawing with midtones. Simple as. I tried to stick with warm colours besides his eyes, which are grey blue. Idc if they arent, im too lazy to google it. I mostly use flat colors but i did make his shirt a gradient. Next is do simple cell shading:

Depending on how i feel i shade with or without the colours in the back. I went with a sorta "non decrepit" light source here. Didnt want too much intensity. I used a deep marronish orange on a multiply layer on 45% opacity. Soft shading/lighting next:

I get intense with the soft shading. I use the airbrush with a deep maroon to add dark gradient and airbrush with a light pink to add a bit more depth. I usually use less light and more dark because im evil i like the intensity. I keep the layer the same amount of opacity and multiply it with the darks and soft light for the lights. Next are the shine highlights:

I use the dip pen hard with a taper to add light highlights of white on shiny bits like metal and eyes. I uses pure white, set the layer to 25% opacity, and use normal blending.

I also shade the lines because it makes the lines softer. I use a clipping layer on the line art, set the whole thing to a dark grey, and airbrush in darker and lighter parts. (I felt like a picture wasnt needed cuz its hard to notice.

For the background, i used a dark red i stole from the cell shaded layer, drew a vine pattern with the kaleidoscope ruler, and added a vignette. Vignettes are my cheat code for background hehe~ it makes the subject stand out while keeping suave, seriousness and formality. To make a subject pop out more, put the vignette behind the character but in front of the background. For more intensity but it on top of both.

Also- I usually draw with a level 10 stabilizer (i got shaky hands) but i drew with a 2 stabilizer so im surprised it came out so smoothly-

Also i gave him goggle tan lines because if i have to have them from playing tennis with sunnies, so does he.

Untitled FFXIV Trash, a side story

Basically a crack sequel to pt.5. But it’s somewhat not crack? I just felt bad I did FIVE angst feels things so this was to lighten myself up. It was a stray shitpost idea that my WoL is so obvious in her feelings for Thancred and sorta oblivious to the others that Scions made bets on how it was gonna turn out.

I ran with it. Literally wrote this in two days so it’s not my best. When is anything ever my best tho? What is best loool

Stepping back into Mor Dhona always felt like a homecoming. Watching as the town goes about its daily business grounded me from where my travels took me. I gave simple nods in greeting as I headed for Seventh Heaven. The employees there gave me a short wave in greeting, having grown accustomed to my comings and goings of their establishment. I opened the door to the entrance of the Rising Stones, essentially home. It had appeared it was one of the lull times. Either people were out missions, or resting before the next duty calls them out. The others still unable to reunite the spirit with the physical and my subsequent journey to the First, it left a hefty role to fill.

It was comforting to see that everyone had filled that role readily.

“Eh? Ami?”

Tataru had noticed me standing at the entry. I made my way towards her, a small smile on my face. It had felt entirely too long since I had last saw her. Whenever I did have to travel back to The Source, it was never within the vicinity. The Lalafell scanned me up and down. Without a doubt, she was checking up on me.

“You’re finished with the business over there in the First? It didn’t seem terribly long since you left.” she asked.

She was kept somewhat abreast of the world I got summoned to, thanks to Feo Ul.

“Rifts are peculiar. It felt like I’ve been there longer. Anyway, I wouldn’t say finished but we reached a standing point so it was suggested I come back and report.”

“There’s a certain change about you from last we spoke.” she admitted, “But we can discuss the particulars later. I’ll get Krile and you can tell us everything.”

“You mind-,” I began, “you mind if we get some of your tea blend brewing. I miss it.”

She gave me the brightest smile.

“Of course Ami, of course.”

It only took a short while to summon Krile and with three cups of tea we secluded ourselves to one of the tables to talk. Mostly to recount my tales of dispersing the primordial Light from Norvrandt. I didn’t go too deep into the others personal growth along the way, just enough to satisfy that they too were safe given the circumstances. I could feel the relief as I gave this news. With the report now over  it brought us back to the main issue at hand, getting the others back into their bodies. Krile sat thinking of all that was spoken. Soon she jumped off the chair and walked to the chambers where the Scions’ bodies remained in slumber.

“I suppose now is a time as any to check if there’s been any changes. You’ve given me a lot to process Ami, maybe I can take this knowledge for something.”

She closed the door and started to get to work, leaving Tataru and I. I stared at the door for a moment before focusing back on the tea in front of me. If I took any sort of lesson from all of this, it was to look at the present sometimes. There was nothing I can do but to wait. My eyes widened, suddenly remembering the package.

“Oh! Y’shtola wanted me to deliver this to you Tataru.”

I passed the pouch and sealed missive to her. She seemed surprised at the gesture but then grinned once she read the parchment. She gave me the strangest look.

“Well I’ll be damned.” she spoke in an awed whisper.

I tilted my head in confusion. Soon turning into a blush as she really looked at me. Scanning me up and down once again. I knew the last time we had met my hair was shorter, but it wasn’t a reason for her to look at me so intently.

Right?

“It seems I have a lot of collecting to do soon! Okay everyone, it’s over!” she shouted, “One won, plus a bonus of physical.”

I watched in utter confusion as the scions that were left went to our table and deposited gil into the pouch. With each one, they looked at me with a look of understanding and joy? I even received a few celebratory pats on the shoulder. It was a fast transaction; which I had expected no less from the woman who handles all our finances. But I still utterly confused.

“Um, Tataru?”

“Yees Ami?”

“Would you explain what that was?”

Tataru blinked. I blinked. She jumped back a bit in surprise. I was still confused.

“Oh, you had no clue. Of course you wouldn’t.” she mumbled, “If you did then this wouldn’t have happened. Oh dear. Promise you won’t be cross?”

“I cannot promise that, but I can at least not instinctively react until you explain.” I answered.

She twiddled her fingers before flashing me a cute smile, already a flag I probably was not going to like what I was about to hear.

“Humorous situation really. But we may hap bet on who it was you got romantically involved with?”

Wait.

I was still for a moment. My mind understanding the words she had spoken. I blinked slowly. Oh...oh. That told a lot really. I snapped my head up at her, full blush all over my bare skin.

“What! You bet on my personal life?”

“Don’t get cross!” she suddenly said, “I swear it was a jest at first! It was after we moved here, you retired early. Granted given how much you helped with the moving efforts. The rest of us had a small housewarming celebration. Few drinks and it boiled down to admiration of all you do. I swear you can never ever doubt how much you mean to people here.

Anyway! Talk passed around about how we never see you just enjoying yourself. It’s training this or duty that. Gods Ami, you’re an appealing young lass, you can afford to enjoy yourself. More drinks and we came upon a realization that you are not has hidden with your emotions as you seem. If we were honest even sober we can see how your eyes wandered to one in particular. It was quite the open secret that the gaze you held was amorous in nature. Except for the man himself, the daft fool. One would assume with how much he is seen with women he would know when one is-”

“Tataru, you’re deflecting.” I pointed out, sighing.

“Oh! Apologies. As I was saying, we had jest how long it would take for you to confess. Then someone asked to put gil down for it and that is how it started. Given how long it’s been since then we had quite a few takers and surprises when other players appeared. Once all of this calmed down I might take a trip back to Ishgard. Some of the residents there were quite adamant on Ser Aymeric. I had never seen a man so open in his affection for you and you just unknowingly dismissed them.”

I opened my mouth to say something. But soon closed it. I was unsure to feel insulted that my personal life seen in such a way or touched that they cared about me that much. I buried my head in my hands. For now, I just needed a moment to absorb all this.

“Ami, you’re okay?”

“A moment.” I responded, “It’s not exactly easy to get over the fact that everyone knew I had held such feelings for Thancred. For years.”

“More than that given those marks on the back of your neck.”

I slapped the back of my neck, wincing at the still tender spot. It had only been a few days since that night, places still sore marks are apparently still visible. On a related note, that means that at the very least, Y’shtola knew. I felt a small hand on my free hand. It certainly wasn’t how I wanted for this to pan out. I had deep inside knew that it would eventually be known, I hadn’t expected this soon.

“Who is the one who won?” I asked.

At that her face fell.

“...She didn’t put anything monetary down, but Minfilia always had a feeling it would happen. She desired for those two close in her life to find happiness. Just a passing coincidence if it happened with each other.”

I softly smiled at that. Minfilia, ever the optimist even when gone. I let out a small laugh which grew until small tears prickled at my eyes. I took a deep breath. I couldn’t be fully mad when they did not mean anything malicious by it. They truly were concerned for my being. I can deal with the inherent embarrassment with such an earnest concern.

“It’s only right that we take these earnings towards our coffers. Minfilia would want us to flourish with our eternal mission right?”

“Exactly.” she agreed.

We enjoyed our tea in mutual silence again.

“My ever inquisitive mind would like to know, was it all you imagined?”

I spat out my tea.

“Tataru!” I whined.

She laughed at my embarrassment. The Lalafell has quite a devious streak on her. But it was what I found endearing on her. I could talk to her as an equal, even indulge in idle gossip. As I wiped the spilled drink from the table, I felt my skin go hot again. The memories still fairly fresh on me.

“I-I” I stammered, “I don’t exactly have any other experience to base it off of. But it was fine. He was patient. I have no clue what exactly you want me to say to that?”

“More than that for sure.”

“You are a handful Tataru. I suppose that’s what endeared me to you. I’ll be staying for a little while, so maybe just maybe I’ll share more.”

Giving In (Laurel Lance x Reader)

Requested by anon: I don't know if you write hatefucking but is there any chance you could write Black Siren x reader smut where the reader hates BS and she sorta hates her back but flirts with her all the time to piss her off and then at some point when they're arguing BS ties her down and fucks her with a strap on? Maybe with dirty talk and spanking and it ending with them agreeing to fuck whenever they get too angry at each other. The thirst is real right now 👅💦

Words: 1636

This is such a horny shitpost I’m so sorry y’all have to read this lmao

Black Siren was a massive pain in your ass. Yeah, she may have changed to someone who fights for justice, but you’ve always had your suspicions. You weren’t convinced that she would just change to be a righteous person just because her Earth-1 dad died for her. One thing was for sure: you would keep a close eye on her.

Working at the police department has always been fun. Maybe not the part where you had to fight criminals, but the fact that you could work with one of your best friends Dinah always made things better. Besides, one of your coworkers always managed to bring you food, which was always good. Easily the most irritating part of your job has been the fact that Laurel seemed to feel the need to stop by and inform you of what might be going on with either Diaz or some other case she was working on at the DA’s office. You had no idea why she came to update you specifically on all these cases, so you made it clear that she was disturbing you at work.

“What is it this time, Laurel?”

“I just came to see how my favorite cop in Star City was doing.”

“Oh, you actually like police now? That’s a change, considering you’ve nearly killed both Dinah and me on several occasions.”

“Awww, did I hurt your feelings? You know that I would never actually hurt someone as beautiful as you, right?” Laurel gave you a fake pout as she looked at you.

Rolling your eyes, you turned in your chair. “Is there something you needed from me, or are you here to waste my time again?”

“I’d like to think that we’re making good use of our time together. You’re actually fairly smart of a cop, and I like listening to your voice. Even when you’re attempting to be insulting. Most cops are stupid, but you seem to be slightly above average in terms of intelligence.”

“Well, I have to get back to work. If that’s all, I’ll catch you later.”

“Oh, does that mean you’re looking forward to my visits here at the precinct?” Laurel raised her eyebrow as she smirked at you cockily.

“Please, don’t flatter yourself.” You snorted as Laurel turned and walked away from your desk. You couldn’t stop staring at her as she walked away. Despite your best judgment, you couldn’t deny that Laurel had a certain air about her that you couldn’t resist. You couldn’t take your mind off of her for the rest of the day.

As one could expect, Laurel just couldn’t keep herself away from you for an extended amount of time. Even though she may not be going around being a villain anymore, she always found herself in the middle of some sort of situation where she felt being morally grey was the only option. This time, she had stopped a mugging while taking some punches in the process. She would have kept blasting the guy with her siren scream if you didn’t happen to be walking back home after having a few drinks with friends.

“Laurel? What the hell??”

“Hey, (Y/N). How’s your night going? Hold on a second while I finish this guy off.”

“No! Stop! I think he’s had enough!” You dragged Laurel off in the direction of your apartment. You couldn’t have the world to think that Black Siren was loose again, which would most definitely send Dinah on the warpath.

As soon as you closed the door to your apartment, Laurel shook your hand off of her arm. “What the hell were you doing there in that alley anyway? Besides, this guy was mugging someone when I got there. I’m doing society a favor as far as I’m considered.”

“Even if that’s true, we can’t have the world thinking that Black Siren is on the loose again, can we? Besides, I wasn’t about to let you kill that guy right there on the street.”

“Since when did you care what I do on my free time? I thought that you hated me.”

“Well, it’s not like you think very highly me. I’m a cop, remember?”

“Is that why you never want to talk to me? Because you can’t stop seeing me as anything other than Black Siren?” Laurel got extremely close, such that you could count the individual eyelashes on her face. You didn’t notice just how beautiful she actually was until this moment.

“I never said that. I know you’ve been trying to change, I just never thought that you could actually do it. Now that I know you’re a good person, I’ve been trying to help you stay on a good path”

“Yeah, and maybe that’s the problem. You try to look out for others, even if they’re no good for you.” Laurel looked angry, but there was also something else in her face that you couldn’t identify. Before you could react, Laurel had backed you into the wall. She pressed both of your hands to your sides and kissed you roughly.

After letting out a noise that sounded like a strangled protest, you managed to wrangle your lips free from the kiss. You were genuinely shocked by the fact that she would breach the physical distance like this. Even as you tried to compose your face, you knew that you wanted to kiss Laurel again. So instead of trying to break your hands from Laurel’s grip, you leaned in to kiss her again.

Laurel didn’t need further permission to move her hands and unzip your pants. Before you knew it, she had pulled off your pants and underwear and was squeezing your ass in an almost gentle manner. She let go of your hands and shoved you towards your living room table. Forcing you face down and bent over your table, she stood behind you and gently touched your hips.

“Do you like this, (Y/N)? We don’t have to do this if you tell me to leave.” You could almost hear the smirk in Laurel’s voice as her hand moved to trace the curve of your ass. The problem was that you were so turned on that forming a coherent sentence was next to impossible.

“Well, get ready for the ride of your life, Officer (Y/L/N).” Laurel finished her sentence by landing a hard slap across your ass. You cried out, whether in pain or horniness brought on by the blows, you couldn’t tell. Encouraged by the sounds you were making, Laurel brought her hand down again and again across your ass. You didn’t realize just how strong this version of Laurel was, and this turned you on despite how helpless you were at the moment.

“Would you like me to continue doing this, or should I stop and take you another way?” Laurel bent down to see what you wanted. You could tell she enjoyed having this power over you.

“I didn’t think I was in charge here,” you managed to respond.

“Well, in that case, I would like to know where you keep your strap-on. Or a vibrator, if you’re more into that.”

You pointed towards your bedroom, trusting in the fact that Laurel would have no trouble finding the strap-on that was in your bedroom cabinet. She came out faster than you expected, with the strap-on already fastened around her waist. The feeling of having her pressed behind you as you were bent over the table sent a pool of heat down your body. Despite your best efforts, you pressed your ass against Laurel in an effort to gain some friction.

Laurel held back as she stroked her finger across your hips one more time. “Are you ready for what I’m about to do, (Y/N)?”

You tried to nod, but having your neck pressed against the table made the task harder than expected. So instead of asking again, Laurel thrust into you without gentleness or mercy. Even though you were already wet, you couldn’t help but have our hips rock back and forth with each thrust that Laurel put into you. Laurel thrust into you with intense speed and depth as you started moaning. Before long, Laurel started muttering under her breath, like she couldn’t help herself.

“I’ve always wanted you so bad...even when you pissed me off so much. I would just imagine myself taking you right in front of the entire precinct, but this is easily the next best thing. You’re the first person who’s made me feel this way.”

Laurel bent over and slammed into you harder. You were trembling all over her as she entered you as deeply as the strap-on would let her go, her skin rubbing and pressing against your sensitive backside. You could tell that Laurel was enjoying this, seeing you so helpless against her.

She started pulling out slowly, dragging the strap-on out, and suddenly thrusting back in. Hearing you moan again only made Laurel more enthusiastic as this continued on for a while. It didn’t take long for you to come all over her.

Finally stopping, Laurel gave your butt one last squeeze before she pulled away. “I guess I’ll be seeing you around more than I expected, Officer.”

“Does that mean we’ll be seeing more of each other like this?” You finally managed to get up and look her in the eye.

“Only if you make me mad enough,” Laurel smirked as she took off the strap on. “I should get going though, I believe we both have work tomorrow.” Giving you a kiss on the cheek, she turned and went out the front door like nothing had happened.

If this was how this version of Laurel expressed how much she hated you, maybe it would be a good idea to piss her off more often.

Alien Anatomy

I’ve kinda been thinking about alien anatomy and here’s some vague conclusions I can come up with.

Insect: so there’s the idea of insect type aliens and if they’re anything like earth insects then their size would be limited by the amount of oxygen (or whatever they breathe) is around. So larger bug aliens could only exist with high breathable concentrations so their planets atmosphere must be a minimum of 30% of their preferred breathing gas. Also, exoskeletons can only be thick to a certain extent before they can’t breathe so larger sized insect aliens would have a thin (compared to smaller insects) exoskeleton; but that doesn’t mean that they can’t have the biological equivalent of steel making up their exoskeleton, they’d still need support if they’re on the larger size, flight could also get a little tricky if they’re on the larger size (basically they might have to go into different methods of it but idk, I’m not a professor on insect flight)

Reptile: so like insects their size would also be limited, but not by air/atmosphere composition but by temperature. The closer to the equator (on earth) the hotter the temperature, and, if you haven’t noticed, the bigger the reptile species. Only the largest reptiles live in the hottest places, you don’t exactly see a saltwater crocodile in Norway. To put it simply, it’s because of their heat regulation; they’re ectothermic. If they live/ evolved on a world with similar temperatures to ours then largest they could be would be a large monitor lizard. And don’t ask “what about dinosaurs? They were lizards”; taxonomically yes but their living descendants (birds) are exothermic, suggesting some sort of transition along the evolutionary line.

Mammalian: size can obviously stay the same maybe bigger/smaller than what we know (for mammals it’s mostly gravity and pregnancy limiting our size) whether they evolved on a planet with more/less gravitational pull. Mammal variations such as marsupials might get around the pregnancy issue since their young are born around the size of a jellybean and monotremes just lay eggs (btw the pregnancy issue is basically that the bigger the mammal the longer the pregnancy and the longer the pregnancy the more time you’re vulnerable to predators) though if you’re a pack hunter, pregnancy might be less of an issue since you are the predator and those in your pack could bring you food so that you wouldn’t be in any danger by hunting (the prey could choose to attack as a form of defense).

Birds: now you can bring in your dinosaur anatomy since they’re technically one in the same (though velociraptors were likely not unnaturally intelligent). This isn’t a rule based off of fact but if you base the bird/dinosaur design off of Jurassic park dinos then you’re out (THE THERAPODS (carnivorous bipeds: velociraptor etc) SHOULD’VE HAD FEATHERS! T. rex might’ve been the exception as they could’ve been big enough to regulate their temperature without insulation but I digress) they would also be able to get around mammals size issues as they don’t have to worry about since they typically lay eggs and have a lighter structure meaning larger size (have you ever held a bird? They’re strangely light, as if they’re constantly inhaling helium instead of oxygen)

Fish: all I know of their physiological limits is that it’s a little similar to the insects limits as oxygen concentrations (or any gas really) is almost always in higher concentrations in the atmosphere than it is diffused in the oceans. As long as they have some sort of propulsion and streamlining to a degree there would be less rules with this one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amphibians: they would have to be heavily reliant on the liquid they evolved from and their skin would be weak to infection (at least ones they haven’t evolved against) they might be able to metamorphose like bugs through their life too.

Mollusks: for those who don’t know mollusks include things like octopuses (yes its octopuses not octopi) and snails. Due to the lack of set bones you could have as many appendages as you please, ones around the mouth are likely as it would help with eating. Early in their evolution basically all mollusks had shells so it wouldn’t be unheard of for your alien to have one too though they could also have lost them (like squid or octopuses) or chosen to adapt them into a bone like structure (like cuttlefish) though that would prevent their awesome ability to squeeze into anywhere. Their skin could also be used to communicate or camouflage as they’re notoriously good at changing their colour and even shape to fit their surroundings.

Plant based life: by this I basically mean a moving plant. If they regularly photosynthesise then their need lots of leaves or their equivalent, they’d likely have a bark like exoskeleton to keep them from flopping about as they move, if they don’t, they’d likely stay small; like bowtruckles from fantastic beasts. If active then they would get rid of rooting into the ground as a method of nutrient extraction for something else, they could have a mouthpiece to transfer water directly to a xylem and have some sort of digestive system equivalent for minerals etc.

Planet: I need to put this in because it sorta affects all creatures. If they evolved on a planet with less gravity then they could potentially become space faring sooner as they wouldn’t have as much of a problem reaching escape velocity. There’s also more potential for flight and bigger “mammals” on these planets. Their orbiting star can affect them too; if they’re around a red dwarf then they’d have more time to develop but their planet could be tidally locked meaning there could be limited habitability on their planet, either too hot on one side and too cold on the other but there’s a small line between the two where liquids could exist and life could evolve, it would also bring in the fun concept of them being like “WOAH, NIGHT AND DAY? WHAT IS THIS?!” Since all the time it would look like twilight/dawn on their planet. If they’re orbiting a supergiant star then they’d have to evolve quickly since supergiant stars don’t live that long before going supernova; this could suggest that they’d have super short lifespans, a year (for us) might be super old to them and they could think were immortal since we live so long (even by our standards) their planet would also have to be much further away to be in the habitable zone so their star may be dimmer from their perspective and, as a result might not evolve eyes. Life on a planet orbiting a supergiant star could also survive with less of a magnetic field (they’d still need one though, but life could still exist with a weak one) so life on their planet could have less geographic activity, therefore less volcanoes and less earthquakes. Other mainstream stars like our own might not differ much when it comes to development and lifespans, it just matters how long they’ve been there/ how long through the stars life it is.

Blood: the colour of an animals blood depends on its needs. Since all animals we know of use oxygen I’m basing the colour on what we know of oxygen breathing life. Hemocyanin (blue blood) would be better used in cold climates so if your creature evolved on an icy planet it’s blood would likely be blue. It gets its blue colour from copper instead of iron. Remember, evolution works as survival of the good enough so if the planet was extremely cold in life’s early emergence then they’ll likely gain this colour and stick with it regardless of whether their planet is cold later in its life. Haemoglobin (red blood) is overall more efficient so if the planet isn’t that cold then red would be more likely to occur. Hemerythin (violet blood) is a simpler structure compared to the first two; going along with the rule of ‘survival of the good enough’ a lot of creatures could possibly have violet blood due to its simplicity. Biliverdin (green blood) is a pigment, it doesn’t carry oxygen and occurs when haemoglobin breaks down but makes animal more resistant to disease meaning that it would be more likely to occur if they evolved in a disease infested environment, likely as a result of lack of predators since disease would replace them in culling their population.

Limbs and organs: limbs such as arms and legs have no real set boundaries though it’s a good idea to make sure that they keep the same amount of limbs or less of them based on the creature they and other creatures on their planet have evolved from (e.g. we have four limbs in total because the first terrestrial vertebrates had four, animals like snakes etc have lost theirs over time but none have gained any limbs because you’d need to have severe evolutionary stress to specifically gain limbs or die: otherwise it’s too much effort for extra limbs). Organs you can go crazy with, you can have as many eyes as you want and in insect like aliens you could even forgo the need of a heart (or heart equivalent) due to their different respiratory system (you could get rid of lungs then too :P) you can have as many sensory organs as you want though you should take into account their planetary surroundings to make sure each organ is necessary (e.g. little to no constant light could mean no eyes/eyes that detect different wavelengths than us)

This has been an unnaturally long 1:30 am shitpost but I felt like I had to say something. Thanks for reading, laters.

[resileant]

quick notice !  i forgot to make this post yesterday / earlier today so here it is now while i am exhausted and ache-y. this week is hell week tech week for the show im in at my college. we open friday !! basically this means i have rehearsal every night till 10:30 and then like a 30 to 45 minute drive home. also this week is sorta like pre-dress rehearsal week for my dance show that is next thursday so my mind has been all over the place with remembering all of my costume pieces and choreography for that. i also need to make sure that i don’t fall too far behind in my classes because of this chaotic time ( i already forgot to do a bunch of hw due sunday night that i can’t do late so that’s fine im fine everything is fine ).

BASICALLY what all of this means for you guys and this blog is just that i’m not really gonna be here too much this week ( or this weekend most likely ). i’ll be here on mobile reblogging memes and gifsets and shitposting like normal but i probably won’t be able to put in the time and effort to get on my laptop , let alone to do any replies. BUT i would love to start writing more on di.scord , especially since i have easy access to my phone during rehearsals and down time. so what i’m saying is pLEASE hmu on disco ( or in my ims for my disco ) about writing over there !! ( plus i can offer you not just gina but all of the muses i haven’t had the energy to be on their blogs recently like harper , wells , maya , fox , everyone on my multi , etc. )

im lit the worst at these but hi everyone i’m amber ( they / them ) and i'm a sleepy uni student who doesn't know what they're doing w their life. the coolest thing abt me is that i saw fx one time in london and almost fainted because victoria looked in my direction for a millisecond and thus started my addiction to groups that r banished to sm entertainment’s dungeon. my latest addition 2 my gang of oc’s is junehyun who goes by he / them pronouns, my latest soft but hard bab who i adore w my whole heart and hope you do too. if you’re up for plotting feel free to like this, otherwise you can hmu on disc*rd which is just as gr8  - RUDELOVE#5604.  anyways lesss go

tw: abortion mention, and anxiety disorder !

- as aforementioned this is junehyun but please call him june for everyone's sakes. summed up he’s a quirky demiboy w/ a little bit... of an inferiority complex, major m*mmy issues + a thirst for affection

-  sorta been in a bad spot with his mum for like, his entire life. he was an accidental curse as a result of a one night stand and his mum was, at the time, too poor to afford an abortion so she had to leave her job and look after his ass (which she has no issues in reminding him of). 

- it wouldn’t have been as bad if she didnt have an occupation that would’ve been impacted on much throughout the stages of pregnancy, but june’s mum was Not Your Average Woman. she’d been taught ballet since she was 5 years old, got accepted to the korean national ballet agency at 17 and then at the time of the pregnancy was offered a slot at the most prestigious vaganova ballet academy in russia. turning down that offer was prolly the starting point of her angst towards june tbh. 

- it's a little complicated and he probably doesn't want to talk about it but it comes down to... how he’s so unwanted and she makes no effort to make him think otherwise, because it’s true. communication is hard with someone who makes no effort so he’s also shy, introverted and quiet as a result. 

-  if you don't know him too well you probably think he is the chillest person on the planet... and he is pretty chill probably like 70% of the time but if you're friends with him then you know that he wears his heart on his sleeve and can act really quickly on his emotions. like... he doesn't hide them well, but he doesn't really display them in ways that make sense if you aren't used to it. he has a lot of... anxiety about a lot of different things.

- he loves dance, indisputably, he’s garnered a love through it from his mother.  he loves everything about dancing ... and most of what he's doing in the academy is """exploring""" with routines, different techniques and taking up diverse dance classes, ballet is his favourite but hip hop is probably were he shines best. and no ballet is not just for girls miss him w that gender constrictive bs !!!1

- june is a lil hard to get to know... he’s shy. also he’s just not good at making friends because he’s very loyal to the ones he has (a little in love with each and every one of them, oh no!). he usually seems pretty out-of-it but in fact is usually emotionally attuned to the people around him

- he can be petty tho... holds a grudge for like 12 years... at a minimum

- was not that good at academics. PASSED, obviously, but classwork for him was really not a good way to learn

- possibly a stoner? possibly an anarchist? possibly a shitposter? possibly all three at once?

- he’s not that awesome at Actually Taking Care of himself. like, he can do it but essentially bodily concerns (ie: keeping hydrated, eating things besides candy, living on a stable schedule) don't really occur to him a lot of the time. too busy livin' life i guess

- random facts r that he stress bakes and is terrible at baking so like when he's stressed and coping w it a lot of his friends, his roomates, and the people passing by the messiest dorm room evr he’s in get to deal with rock-hard cookies and "are these lumps of charcoal" ("they're EDIBLE")

- why was that relevant amber? i dont know a fucking thign my guy

- also has a scottish fold named lemons but sometimes ditches him with people please mark down your name in alphabetical order if you'd like to babysit

- positives 2 him is that he likes to make a friend and stick w them for life. like i said he's not awesome at making new friends purposefully, so probably won't have as many friends as? his friends have? THAT SAID! they're usually very easy to get along with, v nonjudgmental, kind of ridiculous but cute and fun. if u put in the effort to begin with he'll probably eventually reciprocate and then you'll be stuck with him for life (ways 2 interact with him: be a former classmate at his high school, classmates, current "dance buddies”, share his excitement abt paranormal acitivity shit since he loves aliens.. and/or CANDY, babysit his cat, let them crash on your couch, have a dog he can pet,)

- negatives wld be that As Previously Noted he holds grudges for like 12 years so if you were actually mean (as opposed to fake mean, slash teasing, whatever) to him like once when he was a second year... He Remembers. doesn't like people who have beef with his friends, doesn't like people who tell him what to do when they're not friends. he’s kinda natalie portman in the black swan in that he’s OBSESSIVELY addicted w being sort of above average? he gets jealous of things so easily istg he’s like "oh haha i dont hate them *sees them succeed* im going to demolish them." so it’s an issue

- other necessary info is that he’s demiromantic and pansexual, he falls in love w literally everyone and he needs to stop. probably. anyways please plot i think i’ve written 2 much again weeps

OBLIGATORY 666 FOLLOW FOREVER // BIAS LIST.

when i made my first blog last year, i never  ( in a million years ) would’ve guessed i’d ever accumulate this number of followers. ever. with my on and off activity, n’ mass shitposting, i’m surprised i ever even surpassed 100. way more important than numbers, though, are the people who i’ve met & interacted with here, and who have inspired me -- or encouraged me to stick around, when i wasn’t feeling it.  ™

i’ve said it countless times -- & i’ll say it when i’m on my deathbed : i love cloud strife. he was the first muse i wanted to pick up, but i decided against it because he was already such a popular character and muse. finally making this blog back in october of 2016 wasn’t a mistake. despite being painfully awkward, i’ve met a ton of people ; some i speak to regularly, and others  ( -- my bad )  not so much. 

all the same  ( gross )  i appreciate everyone sticking around. ffvii has been a part of my life quite literally since the year i was born, and having some means of conveying how much it ( -- & cloud ) means to me is pretty therapeutic, n’ relaxing. i won’t ramble much more, anyhow. i’m not gonna tag most everyone in the list below, obviously, but i’ll make some mentions. the usual stuff, right ?  cloud voice: let’s mosey.

PEOPLE I’D LET PUNCH ME.

@adventson ; realises the irony of putting your url first under that title. c a s. you’re an evil nerd, but you’re pretty great. it’s obvious by now that i’m not great at talking to people, but you’re one of few i talk to pretty much every day & things never feel awkward. we can just fling songs, images, videos, quotes, headcanons, etc, back and forth and it’s chill. you’re chill. not to mention we share a lot of similar opinions about things. cool. your headcanons and responses are always really great,, p.s. stop pushing me down stairs.

@jjillekkot ; you’ll probably be mentioned in anything like this i post ever. nina is one of the best beans i’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. 10/10 yuffie, and genuinely great human ( bean ) being. you're always sorta ... there, when i don’t feel great. even if we don’t talk consistently, it’s a lot more than we used to. i appreciate you for checking in on me, and just appreciate you in general. yuffie & cloud are wholesome and so are u. we’ll find rufus’ weakness, eventually.

@akamure ; jake ... another evil one. you’re pretty great, though. even if you do dig away at my ( already tarnished ) reputation with pretty much every ask you send. your serious ic stuff is goals, too. i’ll probably follow you across every blog you make, even if it does end with cloud or noct getting harassed via asks. it’d feel weird not seeing you on the dash or having you send cracky posts & asks my way at least every week or so. sorry, i don’t make the rules.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@reinfouru // @cetrafleuris ; i can’t believe i didn’t know you were the blog that’d been following me for a long time, prior to you following me on your aqua. i’ve always appreciated that you liked a lot of stuff i put effort into, and ever since i started actually talking to you, i’ve appreciated you more-so. you’re a great friend and person ( -- if it’s ok to say that ) and it’s nice being able to talk at our own pace, i think. it’s really appreciated that you put up with my rambling. your writing is also a+.

@aheroesdeath ; i'm pretty sure you’re gone now, but i wanted to include you here because over the period of time between my last follow forever & now i’ve still probably talked to you ooc, n’ maybe even interacted with ic more than most people. i really did enjoy our interactions together, and it was always fun discussing the boys ™ with you. i hope you at least feel more chill off of tumblr.

@atlasbcrn || @makoblue ; yet another person who is gone, but i wanted to say i really appreciate just ... seeing you’re still about on the dash, even if it’s in a fandom i know ( -- literally ) nothing about. for what it’s worth, whenever i see you i hope you’re doing alright. the thing you sent on valentines day made my heart ache a lil, but it’s appreciated to know you still think of us.

REUNION.
