have you ever seen this video of Fiona Apple reacting to the intertwining mating ritual of leopard slugs? ( https://youtu.be/kl7TP1hmdKw?feature=shared ) because it's a little how I picture Syndis when you describe it in Familiar and is also my euphoric reaction to it omg
(also hope you're feeling okay!! ♡⊂⁠(⁠´⁠・⁠◡⁠・⁠⊂⁠ ⁠))
I was not expecting to receive Fiona Apple getting emotional over slug mating in my inbox but this has literally made my entire weekend thank you 😂😂😂
No seriously like. I didn't expect it to be actually beautiful. I mean. That shade of blue. And then a frigging flower? Made out of penises?
I am taking notes.
Here's the BBC video in question (with unsurpassed narration by David Attenborough and a score that would make Howard Shore weep; video starts at the good part):
youtube
The excerpt (for reference):
Between his waist and Vlad’s hung a dazzling mass of pure energy, crackling and spitting sparks like severed high-tension wires. From one side of the mass sprouted a plait of glimmering blue tendrils, which disappeared through Danny’s t-shirt and into his belly. On Vlad’s side, a similar braid, slightly thicker and glowing red, emerged from his abdomen and joined the fulgent knot that bound them together. The knot radiated silvery purple light, augmented with splashes of shifting color, like an aurora. The blue and red tendrils moved as if alive, tightening their clasp on one another. It brought to mind images of two deep-sea creatures locked in either coitus or combat; boneless, brainless organisms, nothing but a gnarl of nerve endings and rudimentary intellect. Patterns of light pulsed down the translucent coils. It was grotesque. It was beautiful. And Danny reacted like any other sane, well-adjusted person when confronted with such mortifying paranormal phenomena.
He went berserk.

if ur curious about what Holothere Flag I use in The Shifter's Trail logo, it's the Root Beer one!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Color meanings...
Brown means warmth and comfort, Tan means energy and creativity, and Beige means elegance and simplicity.
I call it the Root Bear Holothere flag for a reason, as the colors remind me of such, and usual root beer drinks (dependant on how you're drinking it) has this comforting taste and simplicity to how it's made.
A lot of holotheres I have met have created warm enclosures for themselves, finding joy in the community that oftentimes endulges in creativity, an elegant display of how our nonhumanity is expressed.

"You're human!"
If I'm human, why do people gasp and rudely parkour over objects to get a glimpse at me? Checkmate anthropocentrics

LOCATION: Westside Theatre. TIME: 08:30 OPEN FOR: All. (Syndicate only if on panel.)
In a month, Westside would have its grand re-opening. A timeline that for what it's worth, is pressurising, and exactly Via's brand of chaotic. There's been endless interviews, for new staff ⏤ re-contracting the majority of previous ones, out of the good of her heart.
But new faces, as handpicked by D'Angelo, are a necessity. Westside would operate for an array of things; shows; music; galleries; displays ⏤ laundering, and various tax illegalities. (those empty seats ⏤ if there are any ⏤ are sold, at least on paper.) She needs trustworthy, pretty ⏤ and those with a little razzamatazz.
She's filled slots for weeklies, and the occasional long running show that's a steady income. She's got a lot of ground to cover, even if in comparison to most, it's an awful lot less pressure given her backing, and personal circumstances.
But Via wants it all. And she'll bring a buzz to the place that has people talking ⏤ about her, D'Angelo; the magic that she'll resurrect on the extra special nights. But until then, Westside needs something different. Even if, she likes to think that's her.
So she's sat, a few members of her tailored panel (an odd selection, if anyone looks too deeply) of colleagues that might, or might not have a personal investment in the place. They're seated on the velvet seats of the second row, Via's got her lets kicked up on the seats in front of her, lazy scribbles on paper, as she flicks through applications for showrunners, or the odd valet ⏤ some off-tune singer that she's wondering might sound better if Via sliced her windpipe.
"Darling, do you have anything else ⏤" she's muttering it, to the stage ⏤ the people beside her: "⏤ I want drama, excitement, sugarpop." She glances once to those sat in the seats with her, watching. Assessing; offering opinions. And she chuckles, lipstick smile wide, turning back absently: "I want you to make the crowd wet, and wanting." Tears, or otherwise.

npcs to the save file , part one |
associates to the reardon family
penny pizzazz ; penny is a del sol valley native but san myshuno local since 18 when she scored a modelling gig with her co-manager vanessa jeong, besties since highschool. the 26 year old fashion designer and model has her own modelling business located in san myshuno, serious about her craft and work, penny is shown to play zero games when it comes to getting the thing done and her trusted and currently highest profile model brianna reardon knows that of all.
marcus flex ; marcus is a sba hall of famer and retired basketball icon, working as an coach for the windenburg stallions and running his basketball camp in windenburg for young and talented basketball players, marcus is highly respected in his field of work. marcus knows talent when he sees it and that's why he's reserving a spot for ishmael reardon as of currently. like penny, marcus is extremely strict and serious about his craft and getting things done and his method is tough love, when he yells, it's not out of angers it's out of love and many players learn to recognize the pattern.
donovan al fraser ; donovan is a sba hall of famer like marcus and actually played in the sba with marcus for some time before retired back in the mid 90s. donovan retired back in the early 2000s and has become a private basketball coach since then. a close friend of brian reardon, donovan took up the task of mentoring his son ishmael for marcus's basketball camp in windenburg. donovan skilled with the ball and technique, ishmael is already steps ahead of his peers in the field and is granted top stops in the big league.

ALSO trolley problem answers for spinder & anyone else who you think has a creative solution 👀
from this ask game
Spinder gets the point of this thought exercise but if they're going to ask such a contrived question, he's going to give a contrived answer. Which means he would learn a lot about trolleys and how easy it is to derail them (I am far from an expert but I think it would depend on the landscape. I suspect a trolley with a cable grip, like in San Francisco, is harder to derail if the cable grip is active, but idk). He's got a whole plan for derailing, or otherwise mechanically disrupting the trolley (if it stops pulling power does it stop moving? how fast can he get on the roof?). Aside from his absolute pettiness he also can't help but imagine the fallout from having vehicularly manslaughtered one or more people and he doesn't think he could deal with that.
Christina "now you're thinking with warpals" Larousse would just warp the trolley. Ideally this would happen after she already was not in the trolley, but if she has to die with it, so be it. In general, if sacrificing herself would save everyone else, she'd probably do it. But if there are other people in the trolley, as in some versions of the problem, because she's not going to sacrifice them to warp. Hypothetically she could just warp away the split in the track, thereby derailing the trolley and saving everyone. But that's a much smaller target than a trolley and harder to hit when she's moving. If she had to actually abide by the rules of the exercise she would kill the one person. Unless that one person was her father. Then she'd be so paralyzed about it that she'd do nothing and the five people would die. Which is still a lot less people than she indirectly enabled Althea to kill, but that's cold comfort.
Althea would let the five be killed without hesitation if there was a single person among them that had ever pissed her off. She doesn't really care either way, but it would feel better to get a little revenge. However, she would also switch away from a track Christina is tied to, an absolutely frigid comfort for Christina.
Vic, among others, has pointed out that if you do nothing, you're not responsible for what happens. Which is a tenuous position, but he would like it to be true. But he'd also rather kill one person than five, so make of that what you will.
Celia and Allison are still wondering what kind of Gotham-ass trolley line this is, like, first of all, how did these people get tied to the tracks? Is this some kind of a trick? Are the five people all robots and the one person a human? There's just not enough information here.
Dez would be extremely dismayed by the idea that the five people could be robots. But if they were, they have backups, right? Right? Syndy is already holding him back from steering away from the five probably-robots, because she considers herself an expert on how humans die, actually, so they can't run over the human. If the robots turn out to be humans, they are both scarred for life and also the first androids to go to jail, probably. They develop a weird game of chicken where they keep saying they're going to delete the memories but come up with reasons not to. Doing this only deals them more psychic damage.
"You just gotta kill the one person," Avis says, with total conviction and complete boredom. "That's how these puzzles work. You gotta do a shitty thing, so you have to do the least shitty version of the thing." It's a toss up if she'd automatically run over the five if she was considering whether or not to run over Sid as the one person, though.

TIME: 11:15 LOCATION: Jumping Jack's PP. OPEN FOR: Syndies.
It had started as lunch — and then, an extension of kindness; thoughtfulness in a realm of chaos.
And now Via, and Mathias were armed with stacks of carefully packaged ramen bowls. She might overcharge them, afterall. Delivery fees, and such.
She's doubled checked the list; organised, with Mini Malkovich beside her as they cross New York, one way to the next.
By no means, is it a list in order of importance for the order to be right.
Pierre; whatever he wants. Asa; a basic bitches order of broth. But, she adores him, so, basic it is. Audra, anything... Vegetarian; no meat, no bones. Ava, same. Aria — a mirror of Via's order; tonkotsu. Lee, something resembling steak — bones, included.
She gave them twenty minutes. Thus, after that window — she orders a spread of half the menu to accompny. Was she going to get shit for dumping it all at HQ?
Very likely. Do you think Pierre is a skilled escapist; how tight are his knots...?
But how else, were she to make such delicious ramen deliveries. Ichiran is not exactly close. And she, and Mini had already made a pit stop for desserts; cakes, mini ones, as he requested.
Plus a few extras, to avoid the argumentation — probably murdered people for less, in fact. Most of them.
And when she and Mathias head inside, she's trilling the announcement of her arrival: "Impromptu lunches — we should do these more," the bags, are carefully lowered down, steam still escaping the gaps in the seals. She doesn't mention to known risks of gatherings more frequently. But — "They're such delightful surprises. Kisses, amori."
