[grab-the-bananaguns]

this is just a post to bounce ideas off of feel free to interact but I’m hoping this fucker will be looooooong by the time I’m done

so I’m making an alien species im callin ‘em Chchenchankks (mostly due to the fact that I want ‘em to have a very prominent “ch” sound they make)

they can’t pronounce; E sounds

they find if difficult to pronounce; A sounds

but they can make sounds like birds ‘n crocodiles which is an important part of their language so it’s virtually impossible for a human without a translator to speak it

there are goin the be at least 5 sexes one is what the humans have deemed the male (even tho they have have multiple secondary sex characteristics that would be associated with females of earth), the next is female (even tho they have secondary sex characteristics that would be associated with males on earth), the third sex (humans have deemed ‘em the androgynous sex) which is basically an adult that stopped hormones that results in sexual dimorphism in adults which leads to ‘em havin under developed horns ‘n no genitals ‘n can choose at a later stage of life to be male, female, capable of asexual reproduction or hermaphroditic, then there is the fourth sex which is capable of asexual reproduction (humans literally just call ‘em asexual) ‘n finally the fifth sex which is hermaphroditic (‘n so called hermephrodites) ‘n they have both sex organs ‘n have a generally even spread of secondary sex characteristics (the other two non binary sexes lack secondary sex characteristics as a whole)

The horns on their heads have an important part in sexual dimorphism ‘n gender identity ‘n their shape ‘n size indicates sex ‘n development, males have horns the curve back, up ‘n out, females have horns the curve back, up ‘n forward, the sex that has just stopped their hormones until they’re ready have lil nubs cause they haven’t developed a sex yet, the asexually reproducin sex also have lil nubs ‘n the hermaphroditic sexes first set of horns will look more like the female or male horns then the second set will look the other sexes horns

some plot stuff I’m considerin

so with chuck my oc, what if the story takes place while he’s an old man but he gets relapses of his life before comin home until that’s all there is to the story. He’s still livin then he never really left then. Or alternatively he grows up with a good family but then has to leave cause the human government is just like “right we don’t want you here” then goes off planet to fight to see his family again ‘n makes friends, enemies, meets others of his own species learns bout himself, fights the police ‘n Maybe he fucks

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

wade's undiagnosed ADHD (giggling everytime Logan stabs him) is only ever matched by Logan's undiagnosed autism (stabbing Wade with his claws when he's overstimulated)

Linktober day 10: the fire temple

Ghosts cry too, you know.

(The desecration of a loved one vs the undying determination to help preserve the future… a tale as old as time memorial. The sage of fire had sealed himself in his temple, preserving his soul in preparation for the day Rauru’s seals were to break with Mineru’s technology. But the Malice does what it does best— corrupt and twist, until nothing was left except a dying wish.)

Unfortunately, nobody knows ancient Goronese. So that story’s sort of going right over their heads and nailing rauru’s weepy ghost in the skull.

This au is called Familiar Familiar, and is totk without the time travel! I’m basically building my own lore at this point.

"Do audio books count as reading" is such a stupid fucking question, it's not even the right question

Like

"Does listening to text read aloud qualify as visually recognizing the individual characters of written language?"

No

"Does listening to text read out loud qualify as receiving the information contained within written language?"

Yes

"Does listening to text read aloud qualify as experiencing the arbitrarily determined level of suffering that I personally think someone should have to experience before they can add a piece of text to their resume, like a trophy for "best martyr" in a cabinet dedicated to calculating intellectual status?"

Go fuck yourself
