About me

I'm Alex (he/him)♂️, but you can call me by my username Tardigrade TV [GER/ENG]

My username is inspired by an old hyperfixation on Minecraft YouTubers and, obviously, tardigrades. A blue tardigrade with only 6 legs is my personal mascot, representing some of my personality traits. (I have a knitted tardigrade plush and a crocheted tardigrade plush)

I'll post whenever I feel like it, usually something about Hypmic or my creations. I'm a Nintendo gaming nerd who likes to imagine crossovers with my biggest interests. (Writes crossover ideas but never posts them 'cause I wanna put my ideas into drawings or crafts first) But I think it's also good to know that I love bugs! Entomology for the win, haha!

Mobile games I play right now: Hypnosis Mic Alternative Rap Battle; Hypnosis Mic Dream Rap Battle

If you wanna be friends with me on the ARB, just ask for my ID

My computer died, so I can only play games on mobile or Nintendo Switch (or Wii (u), (3)DS) for now (I miss PC games 😭)

I'm a hobby artist (traditional only). 🎨 I mostly use multimedia paper (Canson imagine mix media) with alcohol markers (Ohuhu, Copic), fineliners, brush pens and manga pens like G-Pen and Maru-Pen. I also like to craft things (Papercraft, etc)

As a friendly reminder: I'm autistic, so please don't be surprised if I act awkward or tactless at times (I'm trying my best 😅)

I tend to call everyone "bud" or "buddy" here.

interests (not all):

science, gaming, Hypnosis Mic, Team Fortress 2, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Mario & Luigi RPG, Vocaloid, Needy Streamer Overload, Splatoon, Fran Bow, Little Misfortune, Sally Face, Kirby, Pokémon, Ori, Cuphead, Doki Doki Literature Club, Kirby, Slime Rancher, Snake Pass, Tasty Planet, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, Oyasumi Pun Pun, Mad Father, My Child Lebensborn, Portal, Facade, Jack Stauber, Vsauce, Unravel, Untitled Goose Game, Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Kung Fu Panda, Yume Nikki, Everything (game)

I've started thinking about organizing my posts sometime and giving them tags. One tag I already use for long ass stories or other long posts that reveal something about myself in a story-like sense is #tardigrade's bedtime stories

Other ideas I've gathered for other tags so far:

Tardigrade reblogs

T-TV bug & nature appreciation

Tardigrade shares (stuff I find cool and wanna share here, mostly stuff from other websites)

Tardigrade wiggles (hyperfix/special interest ramble)

Tardigrade admits embarrassingly 🙈 (confessions)

Comfy TV (sharing my comfort YouTubers)

Tardigrade's art (my art related posts)

Platonic love is so misunderstood in my area 😭

(And friendships aren't close at all)

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Saw a poll about opinions on Taylor Swift and... nah... don't feel like having that on my blog

However you now get to hear my opinions about her music

I honestly never hear her stuff, I just like... don't. So often the first time I hear a song of hers if if someone's singing karaoke, and like... there's been so many times where I'm listening and then I later see it's a Swift song and I'm like... ah... no wonder it really really sucked and I dislike that song

Then some of her songs are pretty good when coming out of someone I like, but also I realized that that "she wears short skirts" song... I knew it from the memes but... I'll be honest, I think I just had decided those were lyrics in Skater Boy, cause I never have actually heard that song

I've only seen it in memes and heard one other person sing it once

So yeah... I could name two of her songs (well... mention lyrics from them), and one I think just is... awful, and the other one is pretty good, and I've never actually heard either of them

(Also, when people mention TikTok by Ke$ha I nod along, but I've realized I'm actually thinking of Whatca Waiting For by Gwen Stephani, which works for me cause honestly I like that song better)

Basically I'm saying I have a total lack of knowledge on most popular music, unless you're like "yeah, you know Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand?" which I'd be like yeah, I remember that video and also sometimes listen to the album that's from, and also that song's like... how old now?

Anyway, I just enjoy being able to be genuinely bewildered and have no clue what people are talking about with mainstream music, not like in some kind of ironic way, but cause I don't really like knowing about celebrities and... honestly... just don't enjoy much of the music when I do come across it

I saw you reblogged a pic of tardigrades and got so excited! I researched them for a summer internship and was going to send you one of my videos of them walking around. Then, I saw the caption and promptly reverted to the primordial soup...

no no no no wait baby i can fix this i love soup and those slutty little moss piglets i wanna see them move and grove

There are probably Pokémon adapted to environments so hyperspecific that even if people did find them they’d never be able to actually have them due to not being able to survive outside it, just like some life in the real world

It would be nice to see them in spin-off games though, like a new game that’s something like Pokémon snap and legends arceus where you’re sent to document Pokémon such as these, maybe you’re given a Pokémon that can withstand such environment but don’t necessarily need them to surviveoh fuck tardigrade Pokémon this is how they can introduce tardigrade Pokémon this is how tardigrade Pokémon can STILL WIN!

Anyway. Areas like this can include obvious places like the deep sea or high up in the mountains where oxygen is thin, as well as places with high radiation or high up in the atmosphere where rayquaza lives(could be a late or endgame area because of that), hot springs and places on the extreme ends of the ph scale may be difficult to document but they may be worth it

Pokémon could include pallas cats(could be a variant or a new Pokémon), blobfish(do NOT remove them you know damn well what happens), yeti crabs(perhaps a deep sea crabominable variant), that snail with the iron shell, brittle stars and perhaps some Pokémon based on lesser known eukaryotes, such as halophilic fungi, and even Pokémon that live in places real life creatures have no chance in. This is a fantasy world, do whatever.

Now the creatures that live in these areas are usually, well, Fucking Tiny, but if a tick can be 4 inches, I think they can make microscopic creatures be inch big Pokémon. This can also be where the camera comes in, it will have a big zoom function so you can get up really close to the little guys without having to act get near them. The aforementioned tardigrade Pokémon could help you interact with the environment if you’re unable to for whatever reason, such as a hot spring or a place too radioactive for most life or you’re in a small submersible in the ocean or That Is Actual Fucking Lava. You could also be supplied with a ditto to help you with further documentation, since while you can’t use the actual Pokémon, a ditto can help fill in the gaps pretty well if they’re just as able to withstand the environment as well as the Pokémon they’re copying.

The game won’t be focused in one specific region, but various areas around the world, both preexisting and new regions. I have a thought for a tiny, undiscovered Pokémon near the hot springs in hoenn, or something that only lives within stark mountain in the battle zone near sinnoh, perhaps even a Pokémon that somehow migrated there from firespit island from the hisui days, and you can’t tell me paldea’s area zero Doesn’t have some hyperadapted Pokémon in there, maybe in the water at the bottom, though I don’t think you’d be allowed there for a While(lategame area probably). Pokémon world Antarctica, Iceland, and Yellowstone are not safe from documentation. When exploring regions, only small parts will be available to you, such as the locations previously mentioned.

Now a lot of people probably wouldn’t like a game with almost entirely new Pokémon look at black and white’s initial reception and variants, almost none of which that you can even use not counting ditto copies, but since this would be a spinoff mostly used to help with world building, I’d say those people can Suck It Up and let us have our fun, pokemon doesn’t have to cater to you specifically all the time, you may like the battles, but some of us enjoy worldbuilding and speculative biology.

I don’t have any concept art at the moment as I started writing this down shortly before dinner, but I’ll reblog this post with some once I have enough.

So, as promised, only the top-most rated class will be redeemed and move on to Round 3, which in this case is a tie between Scyphozoa and Eutardigrada! Let’s welcome them back into the running and wish them luck in Round 3. Judging by how this round went… they’re going to need it. 🙃

Round 3 will begin February 1st and will feature the Orders of Chondrichthyes, Mammalia, Reptilia, Cephalopoda, Lissamphibia, Actinopterygii, Malacostraca, Arachnida, Insecta, Actinistia, Scyphozoa, and Eutardigrada.

Pack some water, snacks, and road trip games. It’s going to be a long ride!

Taxonomy Tournament: Propaganda Wanted

Now that we've gotten down to just 16 competitors, I think it's time to replace the quick summaries I wrote when they were just 16 among 256. Like look at this.

Serpentes. This reptile suborder is made up of snakes

Serves its original purpose fine (we all know what snakes are, it tells you what Serpentes is), but it could certainly be better.

I'm calling on you all to write short propaganda blurbs boosting your favourite remaining animals. They should be impersonal (ie. not "I have a pet tardigrade and he's awesome", instead some neat facts about Tardigrades). They should also be in point form, so I can more easily combine them with other submissions. Pictures are okay but I will not be able to fit all of them.

The clades competing are as follows. In square brackets is the number of propaganda that been submitted so far. Bolded are the ones that I expect might not get enough propaganda.

Chiroptera (bats) [1] Urodela (salamanders...) [0] Corvides (crows...) [0] Serpentes (snakes) [0] Syngnathiformes (seahorses, sea moths, trumpeted fishes...) [0] Stomiiformes (deep sea fishes) [1] Acipenseriformes (sturgeons and paddlefish) [0] Myliobatiformes (stingrays) [0] Coleoptera (beetles) [0] Isopoda (potato bugs) [0] Articulata (sea lilies and feather stars) [0] Eunicida (Bobbit worms and other marine worms) [0] Polycladida (marine flatworms) [0] Nudipleura (sea slugs) [1] Octopoda (octopodes) [0]

Propaganda can be submitted via the askbox or the replies/reblogs to this post.

Please look at these posts if you can. I do not mind if you don't look at the rest of this introduction, but at least look at these posts.

Things i'll block people for:

*Anyone who is pro-israel or is pro any genocide.

*Policing people on harmless identities and ways of being. Just let people chill in peace please.
