what's your LEAST favourite herptile? the stupidest frog? the ugliest lizard? no, not either of those. so which one is it?

it's actually the very word 'herptile'. It's like saying 'birdosaurs'.

I'm guessing it stems from people wanting to expand 'herp' out into a longer word that is a noun for the animals we study as herpetologists or are interested in as 'herpers'. But that doesn't really exist. So we get this weird portmanteau of herp and reptile, apparently forgetting the amphibians. Reptibian or Amphibitiles would be better portmanteaus if we actually wanted a reasonable word representing both groups.

Nuzi - N's Haiku (comic strip)

A small little poetic angst because why not? Protective_Boyfriend.exe=true/ . Keep her safe in the next upcoming episodes whenever we get them. Hopefully soon. (I hate being left on cliff hangers honestly. Lol.)

Let me know what you think!

I also have commissions open. Prices and rules are pinned at the top of my blog!

y'all stop saying fyodor has never looked so sincerely angry before. he has.

I know this because, and this is not an exaggeration, the vast majority of my manga revisits are to enjoy his expressions of anger, disdain, and malcontent. i shit you not, several of my bsd meta posts wholly unrelated to fyodor were written because I happened to notice something else while flipping through to imbibe fedya's hissy fits. I don't reread the manga when I do this, just those scenes, unless something else catches my attention.

anyway, stop disrespecting my beloved pastime.

wanted to figure out all RB's scars collected throughout her time in Hisui and i accidentally ended up making a proper ref sheet for it oops. this is what she ends up with after a year+ of wandering the wilds and getting attacked by crazy megafauna, and it's not even including all the injuries that DIDN'T scar, like countless bites, scrapes, bruises, cuts, etc, or ones that leave no mark on the skin, like a badly rolled ankle, a broken collarbone, psychic whiplash from tanking too many confusion moves, soul deep nerve damage from Ghost-type overexposure, etc

a lot of these are covered in the outline of her story i've got plotted out, but i'm sure when i sit down to actually write it as prose there will be more that pop up

look I don't know why people are being bizarrely defensive over preferring campaign 3 to past campaigns. and honestly I don't really care. but it is very funny. we're watching the "every past campaign has been building up to this, the villain was set up in C2, one of their greatest allies is a PC from C1, two characters were built explicitly as Campaign 1 callbacks" campaign. The heart wants what it wants but I can't really see anyone enjoying Campaign 3 let alone preferring it without at least having a great deal of respect for both past campaigns.

War AU x Second Love

Lmao Sam this is literally the plot to the Nandopoleon AU this exists in my head 😭😭

So Fernando is Napoleon, right? And Napoleon had two wives, right? Mark is his first love(i.e. Josephine), older than him, and who he is deeply in love with but has to divorce because Mark can't really provide anything(i.e. no political advantages, infertile, etc.) So Fernando needs to make a political marriage. And who does he marry! The young son of one of the most prominent monarchies in Europe: Lance, Archduke of Austria.

Lance is very resistant to this at first of course. All grumpy like, "Dad, why do you want me to marry the guy who just defeated us in four separate wars. He's literally beaten us since practically my birth, and now I have to marry him? Yuck." Both him and Fernando come into the marriage with bad expectations, Lance despising Fernando for all he represents and Fernando viewing Lance as just a means to an end. But Lance fits in to the kingdom very well and Fernando comes to adore him and pamper him all the time. And suddenly Lance to his father is all like, "the Emperor is great actually 🥰 I was so wrong 🥰"

Meanwhile Mark is just forced to the side, and has to watch while Fernando's love for him diminishes, and his love for Lance grows. They still talk a lot and spend time together, but Mark is constantly sniping at Fernando about his new "wife."

I think Lance would stick by Fernando's side during his exile and subsequent return. He grows to be more loyal to Fernando than to his own family and original kingdom. And even though Fernando originally just views him as a means to an end, he eventually lets Lance fight alongside when they are eventually drawn back into war. Maybe in this AU, he actually wins 😔
