#these are my thoughts on Animals

[plaguedocboi]

So basically to me, every animal can be categorized as Squishy or Crunchy. The Squishy is where my primary interest lies. The Crunchy is fascinating and wonderful but they don’t necessarily tickle my cuteness receptors in the same way. A lot of phyla are pretty self-explanatory; Cnidaria are Squishy. Flatworms are Squishy. Annelids are Squishy. Arthropods are Crunchy. Nematodes are Crunchy because they have a thick cuticle. However velvet worms are Squishy because they’re chuby. Some phyla are bit more complicated. Mollusks for instance. Gastropods and cephalopods are Squishy but bivalves are Crunchy. Echinoderms too; sea cucumbers are Squishy. Urchins are Crunchy. Sea stars depends on the species: the fat ones are Squishy but the thinner bonier ones are Crunchy. Vertebrates are tricky as well because fish and amphibians are Squishy. Reptiles it depends, geckos for instance are Squishy but turtles are Crunchy. Birds and mammals are in their own third category of Warm which I find a bit unsettling. The two exceptions are housecats because with the aloofness and the sunbathing and the general floppiness they’re sort of like lizards and then cetaceans because they have Fish Vibes. Porifera are something I should be able to grow in my garden and I’m bitter that I can’t so I won’t be commenting further on them.

some design notes under the cut

Curly: Husky mix, maybe GShep? (mush, captain, mush!!!) Anya: Silken Windsprite (or long-medium haired sighthound mix) Daisuke: seen at least 2 different instances of people drawing him as a Papillon and i agree wholeheartedly Swansea: XL Bully/Cane corso Jimmy: badly socialized German Pointer mix

also ciarans fanart is based on this

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Specifically, this part!

the way that this page in particular was adapted just OOZES studio trigger tbh. like I know everyone likes to joke about studio trigger being the horny studio, but the quick jerky animation direction is what truly makes their work recognizable to me. I can practically see Lio Fotia bleeding through the pixels in that 5 frame animation of Falin peeking through her fingers
