since wild life is nearly finished, i thought i’d do the symbolism for real life! i’m going to keep it short and sweet, like the smp itself.

grian is red chanterelle.

joel is a blood-red glider.

scar is a red lory.

impulse is a summer tanager.

skizz is a diamond dove.

ren is an alaskan malamute.

jimmy is a red spitting cobra.

bigb is a komodo dragon.

pearl is a sulawesi moon moth.

martyn is a fennec fox.

gem is alexandrite.

scott is amaranth.

cleo is pluto.

and that’s it! very excited to do the wild life symbols.

Asomatous ; Without Body, Without Mind

Summary:

Asomatous (adjective) 1. Without a material body; incorporeal. 2. Spiritual, rather than physical. Similar words: - Apparitional, Immaterial, Unworldly, PrinceZam

Relationships: Zam & Mapicc Word Count: 11,111 (+ 419 if you count extra summary stuff) Notes & Warnings: I went way overboard with this fic. Lots of bugs, betrayal, canon-typical s4!zam behavior, angst, vague injury, and delusions/hallucinations, there's some mild hurt/comfort but it's more hurt than comfort My gift for @landofspaceandrainbows for the @mcyt-halloween gift exchange!

Extra stuff under the cut, since this fic had a hell of a lot go into it! Also hi! Sorry this ran late, I blame the fact it ran about 5k over what I anticipated!

Okay hi, normally I would just put these things in the fic notes themselves, but the formatting and execution of it is so Specific in my head, so they're go here!

I was debating making a webweave to accompany this fic, but ended up making this instead; it goes along with the themes I had in mind, but isn't as specifically formatted or cohesive

And also, the fic's playlist, which I know wasn't in your requests, but it exists and I feel like sharing ^_^

But, on the topic of themes & imagery, I would love to note that the moths aren't non-specific. They're specifically Actias isis (the Sulawesi Moon Moth), which were chosen for coloration reasons, and also because they fit a specific image I had & comparison that was central to the fic. Tailed moths evolved those tails to distract predators and to have the chance of surviving being attacked. (Male & female below, respectively)

(P.S. please forgive any ooc-ness, I wrote this all in like four days and I haven't watched a lot of either of these guy's content so I am doing my best but the concept was practically burning a hole in my vault so. It had to be done pfvnjdkmf)

[sunnibits]

Heya Sunny! Not too sure how awkward this is but have you ever heard of the Cecropia moth? They're very cool looking! Also Sulawesi Moon Moth and Pink Spirit moths!!!!!

TAKING NOTES! 📝📝📝📝

[mothmyspace]

moth posts coming soon! for now, a poll, if anyone wants to participate.

i think it's time for the blog to have a new mascot! i've had the luna moth as my pfp for awhile but i think a change would be nice and i want you guys to help me decide!

[solarclock-lepigriffs]

Finally! Made the references for Sula and Ashworth! Well, it's not proper refs, but it's a good start!

Sula is, of course, based on a Sulawesi Moon moth. Ashworth, however, is based off of pink spirit moths, not Ashworth's Rustic! Despite being pastel colours, I think she'll like somewhat gothic things.

When I get better at life then I will come back to this!

Doll's moth wings were based on a photoshopped photo of a purple moth, but I wanna change it to a real species, like a cinnabar moth cause they are black and red, simple to draw constantly or a red velvet moth because their wings look simply amazing, they are orange-red like doll's eyes

Possibilities are endless and I might combine moths for her wings and overall design

Atracus atlas, cecropia, regal, peacock moths the death head hawk moth is on my hunting list too

Actias isis(sulawesi moon moth) longgggg "tails", Polytela gloriosae (lily moth) they have beautiful patterns

That's it for now Before this turns into a moths rambling session

Maybe I should make Lizzy a butterfly kind of thing creature lmao, matching with doll maybe

"DOLL STOP SITTING WITH YOUR WINGS OPEN, IT'S UNCOOL"

Moth idiot

Don't give her bug spray though, it burns :(

i’ve had a little side project about giving everyone in the life series symbols. the rules are as follows: first place are celestial bodies (planets, moons, or occasionally constellations), second place are plants, and third place are rocks/minerals. last place are fungi, and everyone in between is an animal.

this post will have the full lists of all the symbols, but check out the original posts for the explanations.
