OOH CANON SPECIES NICE i have so many fun facts to share that i have learned after 2 years straight of kinning this fucking bug

-our home planet was indeed called Dokar and other aliens called us Dokarians but we called ourselves Zorathians. its like the difference between Earthling and Human, basically.

-yes i was a Zorathian named Zorak. you ever met a person named Guy before? moving on

-we evolved from creatures very similar to Earth insects (especially mantids and grasshoppers) but over time as our brains enlarged we lost a few key features. our wings became vestigial imprints on our abdomens and we only had 4 limbs total–no extra arms hiding anywhere.

-Dokar was a hot and humid planet, and we were cold-blooded creatures. I always preferred a toasty climate, which I believe was an early point of comraderie between me and Moltar.

-Speaking of blood, while we were very much bugs externally, internally our vascular and respiratory systems were more... reptilian-ish? it was the only way we could survive at our size; there's a reason 6ft dragonflies aren't around anymore.

-We didn't exactly live in hives or anything, but we were a bit of a social species. We had cities and schools and local government. The way this interacted with our instinctual proclivity towards cannibalism was interesting. Since it was practically involuntary in certain situations, it was seen as legally distinct from murder and therefore not a crime. It was still considered very rude to do it outside of those scenarios, though, like smoking in a crowded bus shelter or pissing on somebody's doorstep. Sure, you were responding to a bodily need, but right now? And right here? It was just sort of a fact of life that if you were unlucky, at any moment you could be devoured by a stranger. Or, more likely, by your mom (we didn't have dads. I'll give you one guess why)

Would you believe it if I said there was even more. I'll cut myself off here though. Thanks for reading all that, un-thanks if you didnt, -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

It’s been 500 years........ why a Brak shift now......... I just want to watch the show -Brak (Space Ghost)

Its so funny at first thinking i was human and then as time went by realizing im more and more alien like. My species was still very human besides like organs and other stufff. Really funny with this new context that this human man with powers adopted two alien kids and didn’t know anything about how different we were from humans

canon signs: as someone whose number 1 kin for creeping up on 3 years now has been zorak, it's really really funny to me that, as a kid, i loved the original space ghost cartoon so much that my mom made me a space ghost costume. with the power bands and everything. zorak wasn't even on my radar when i was 4 lmao (#🛸🎹💥)

Despite having this kin for almost 2 years ive never tried to figure out when my birthday was... until now! granted i wasnt BORN but for all intents and purposes im referring to when i hatched out of my little egg case. also in case you're wondering because you want to recreate this process for yourselves, it is almost entirely vibes-based guessing on my part. sorry. after looking up when wild mantises on earth hatch and deciding that was correct, i determined my birthday was definitely in the summer and i believe it was in early july. after some narrowing down i think it's either the 7th or the 9th, but im sure it was a single digit either way. dont let me forget this ask as we get closer to july and maybe by then i'll have come to a decisive conclusion on it. and dont even think about wondering what year it was–its rude to ask a pretty bug his age. -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

ok this is really funny: for the kin fics thing i looked it up to make sure and as far as correctly tagged works go, there are 25 fics about me on ao3. after i filter out crossovers that drops to 10. also after scrolling through manually, 3 of those were mistagged and for completely different fandoms. so 7 total fics about me. 👍 -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

for the stealth humans game: NOT A CHANCE LOLLLLLL.... none of my nonhuman kins could pass for human not even a little. maybe the homestuck troll in a situation where people would assume i was in cosplay, but even then it would get suspicious that i wasnt leaving gray smudges everywhere. all the others are like, 8 foot alien bug man. robot shaped like a microphone. cartoon horse. papyrus. (just putting this in my zorak tag for organizational purposes #🛸🎹💥)

ok i literally just sent in an ask bitching about it but really nothing grounds me like watching my source. im at the point of Series Completion where i forget i can pull up any episode and kill 15 minutes that way and i ALWAYS feel so much better afterwards. instant mood booster. anybody else get that?anybody here at fictionkinfessions dot tumblr dot com understand what im saying? (joking. of course you do. idk why i questioned it even for a second) -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

obscure kins! hi. its zorak im back again. this is interesting to me cuz there was a time - from like 1994 to 2006 or so - where i was not an obscure character at all! between space ghost coast to coast, cartoon planet, and the brak show i was doin pretty good for myself. naturally brak was MORE popular and recognizable as a pseudo-mascot for cartoon network. but i was definitely like second place. nowadays youre more hard pressed to find active fans and not just folks who remember those shows from the earliest days of adult swim or who recognize me vaguely but arent sure from what, or something like that. but to my knowledge there's never been anything like an active kin community around space ghost. personally i throw a little one-man party whenever somebody else from the franchise shows up here. if you're reading this, howdy! -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

[fictionkinfessions]

ok ive seen that kin pride game goin around and i dont wanna make a big long list but i do wanna participate. so in the spirit of that here's 2 that i just had applicable realizations about and also have already been posting lately. including the tags too for anybody who's keeping track but just as signatures this time, no actual tagging required mpc

zorak: definitely bi, and it's dawning on me i was probably some flavor of aro. thinking back i can only point to one instance where i might've had some romantic feelings, and even then it's possible i just wanted that kind of relationship and still never felt capital-A-Attraction in the amatonormative "correct" way. it's also possible all of that also has to do with weird humanoid-insectoid alien biology, but hey, i'll claim it! (🛸🎹💥)

max: gay little rabbit! and transmasc, but maybe not a trans man as i first assumed. not sure what labels apply (or if i even want to label it) beyond nb, or just blanket queer, but i was comfortable using it/its pronouns in addition to he/him. i remembered that almost totally unprompted, it was wild. don't know why. but that's fun! and tracks with my weird canon-divergent mems of being kinda plasticine. don't ask. (🔫🐰💥) (wow i really like that explosion emoji. can u blame me? it's cool!)

[fictionkinfessions]

i always love to see the 🛸🎹💥 zorak confessions on this blog bc their whole source is my main hyperfixation at the moment and i’m lokar kin and haven’t rly seen any other sgc2c kins really, but i’m really just a lurker here and not ready to reach out. but hello! wishing you well, you little green beast - lokar

[fictionkinfessions]

man oh man i have been having phantom sensations off the CHARTS lately. i miss my huge peepers and my huge peripheral vision. i miss my snappy beak- feels wrong to call it "mandibles" cuz it WASN'T, it was definitely a beak. bug beak. i miss my twitchy antennae i swear i could feel em going off during a lecture the other day. i miss swinging my head around like a dinosaur to look at shit because of my weird proportions I MISS BEING SEVEN FEET TALL 😭😭😭 *cradles my thrifted season 1 dvd* oh space ghost we're really in it now -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

re: fukase's q about if we have merch of ourselves...

absolutely! or at least, i try to collect it for the ones i can easily get some for. ive got a couple dangly acrylic keychains for two other kins (one of me, and one of my friend) and sometimes i'll shell out for a plush that reminds me of a buddy. but official merch is often hard to come by with the kinlist i've got! there's ONE particular zorak thing i've been eyeing for a long time, it's a really cool maquette type display thing and it's the ONLY official merch of me that looks good (aside from vintage shirts that i have no chance of finding for sale) problem is, it was a con exclusive thing and the only guy selling em has an ebay page where he hocks em for like $200 bucks a pop 😭 plus shipping??? I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY MAN, I GOT CLASSES TO PAY FOR -Zorak (#🛸🎹💥)

For Twilight’s newest question about family. I miss them, i miss my sister so much and im so worried how she is right now and that she knows i still care about her. We stayed together through thick and thin.

Space Ghost or Tad, is another issue, i find myself shifting specifically from the original show and I miss him, i miss that ship and he always gave me a pat on the back when i did something new. Then I remember all the dangerous missions and we went on, places we went without supervision nor any weapons nor protection from any aliens, and figure out how much of a fucking dick he was after he forgot about us to go with his show!
