Can’t stop thinking about this Haechan

[dokupine]

this is more abt the world than rlly the biology but since mario seems to be pretty human, is there anything particularly notable about the way he interacts or communicates with the mushroom kingdom? or is it more notable that it might not change much

Ohh I was so excited to answer this.

Peach and Mario communicate primarily with tactile sign language. Peach uses only two of her manipulator limbs for this, as to not alienate Mario. There's added nuances from each others voices, but most of the information is communicated via touch.

The language being tactile is important because Peach's compound eyes aren't great at focusing, and her hearing is imprecise. Her world is blurry and muffled audiovisually, but her sense of touch (and chemoreception) is sharp. She experiences the world in a very different way, but touch is one of the things she and Mario share.

She prefers to "hear" Mario's laugh by gently pressing a limb to his throat. She's also sweeping him with her pheromone receptors here, it's equivalent to studying someone's face to commit it to memory.

Before developing tactile sign language, though, Mario attempted to communicate with Peach in a way more familiar to her. Peach sends chemical signals to her subjects via a mycelium network and can process a lot more information this way. Finding the communication gap frustrating, Mario connected the mushroom kingdom's mycelium network to himself.

although the mycelium might be connected to the benevolent beings he lives among and calls his friends, it has no moral compass. It will begin to disassemble you regardless of your intentions.

This made him extremely sick. It was a lot more alarming for Peach, though, being sent signals every second of her friend's body being rotted inside out. Needless to say, this is not how they communicate anymore.

Please tell me im not the only one who hcs Noah as being on the aroace spectrum and showing his affection in "odd" or subtle ways....

I don't see him as much of a kisser in general, so he engages in other affectionate activities like cuddling, hand holding, or just spending time with someone....

Letting Owen crush all his bones in a bear hug is his version of making out do you feel me

An ancient Inkling ancestor, on a Japanese shoreline about 4,600 y.a that I made for my little research paper, so I’m sharing him here.

Inklings were one of the first marine animals to venture onto land, as their RNA-editing capabilities allowed them to evolve several thousand years faster than everyone else.

This ancient creature is still dependent on the sea, his lungs haven’t fully developed yet and must stay wet. He’s currently looking for other smaller, less evolved critters like fish and clams that have clambered onto the shoreline.

also notice the third leg, that actually evolves into the tail in modern inkfish. They originally had this leg to better support their heads, which were quite heavy as most of their organs were kept inside.

(also i'm still writing that faux biology document fyi, I just don't know when I want to make it public. maybe when all the art is done? idk-)

not to post like 5 blurry background pixels but this photo from the insidious 2 set is killing me why is specs standing like 🧍‍♂️

Scrolling through the fandom wiki again and seeing this reminded me of my selfship with Grimoire. I don't think Colin would help this. If Colin is Grimoire's true love, it'd probably make him wanna kill himself.

My friend dared me to text @multifandom-lesbian09 and say “Hey I’m lesbian.” And I just realized I never told her it was a joke 😭
