The froggos! There's a bigger size and shape discrepancy than I first thought with these, so you're going to be able to pick individual frogs out, like you'll be able to with the various uniquely colored dinos.

Frogs

How do you all feel about frogs? I love frogs. They are my first favorite animal (my second is birds - perhaps the subject of a different post). My favorite frog is the strawberry dart frog, with Pac-Man frogs coming in a close second. I unfortunately don���t have a pet frog, but I would love to have one someday.

My entry for Amphibian Pride 2024! This year I'm a singing strawberry poison dart frog, because I'm actually part of a Pride choir in my hometown now, despite being afraid to sing in front of other people :D (I'm also in a Welsh choir performing the week before. I didn't realise the gauntlet I'd signed myself up to kdjvdjvb)

Twins! Two of them! Their egg got sillay and split making two tadpoles, how they managed to survive 10 years in the brine before ceremorphosis doesn't matter. The rarity of their birth made their elderbrain so excited because it meant they got to add two new suits to their Entourage! After it found out it had identical twins in its colony it immediately possessed their bodies and they became it's favorite vessels. Their consciousness was pushed into the backseat as the brain used their bodies as its physical presence to traverse it's colony. They can still sense everything as can the brain through them, so long as it doesn't disconnect any of those senses from itself. All that might suck but at least the brain put surface-made silk outfits on them (how exotic!).

I do have a plan for them but who knows if I'm actually ever going to do anything with it

Update for The Rod That Blocks the Lightning and basic first concept for a new OC.

September turned out to be a very busy month, and depending on this weekend I may not be able to upload the new chapter this month.

I was also very distracted, because I was wondering how to draw a deer with a hijab, and then found a Picrew that does in fact allow one to make a hog deer wearing a hijab, so I played around with that for a week so I can study that.

Anyway, someone scattered these tiny frogs around my workplace.

So this one lives at my workstation now.

Which is a coincidence, since I was just thinking of the frog reporter from The Continued Battle.

Well, I actually do need a foreign reporter OC for at least one scene. I also need an investigator from the international law courts like The Hague to ask questions (like the weasels and wolves attacking civilians and the Flower Hill spike pits).

The ostrich and frog did not seem to fit the bill. But a pink frog? This allows for me to make a general first concept from what I did have planned.

So, poison dart frog reporter it is (sah-headcannons guessed it as well)! Of course, it just so happens that poison dart frogs don’t really come in pink outside of a toad and maybe some private breeder’s rare color morph, which might also be fake.

The closest coloration I can get is the Strawberry Poison Dart Frog, specifically a variant from the Red Frog Beach of Isla Bastimentos, Panama, which are a more red color.

I kind of wanted to name the frog ‘Maria,’ (funny enough someone else suggested the same), which would be some other character’s first introduction to an individual not named after their species and occupation. But the locals of the beach where she is from call the frogs Rana Rojo.

Rana Roja is the perfect name! I was somewhat thinking of Lois Lane for the reporter character. She’s technically just a court reporter, but she does some amateur investigative journalism (maybe kind of like Nancy Drew?) since her coloration and the fact that she is from my AU’s version of The Hague makes people act suspicious, and gets her into troublesome shenanigans that reveal many hidden secrets…

The poison part could be an issue. Maybe she wears special clothing to prevent it from touching anyone. Maybe it’s just numbing and works like sweat unless she is stressed or very excited.

The poison also comes from diet, I think, since captive poison dart frogs don’t have the toxins. So she might be careful with what she eats, while carrying around vials of her own poison for emergencies, which Soor-Hiran would be very interested in obtaining.

Thinking about the characters with animal bits because the idea of a little baby Brooks with a stinger is funny to me for some reason. Do you think they have to stick a cork on it or something so they don't accidentally sting someone?

More strawberry poison dart frogs! Note: the last photo of the blue frog makes me SOOOO mad because it would’ve been perfect if the eye wasn’t out of focus 😭
