Parasite worldbuilding talk under the cut 👍
Thinking abt the desert stalien society again... fun fact the parasites that basically dictate their migration cycles are also commonly farmed for the chemical they create to feed their young when they hatch, which is in fact such a big business that the folks who do it stay out on the surface year round to do it. They also have bred new breeds of them over the years made to produce much much more of the stuff they need and even in some slightly different varieties, and these versions are Much bigger and also can completely consume most large creatures within minutes. Fun!
#rat rambles#oc posting#eternal gales#to be clear this has very much become a mafia sorta deal these guys have a Lot of power#they can pretty much get away with anything as long as theyre not like destroying building or smth#which is unfortunate for those tasked with managing the cities during the wet seasons as that shit is already rough enough#but yeah the chemical itself is typically used for medical purposes but is also used for a wide variety of other shit too#most who dont do surface shifts during the wet seasons dont tend to think much of the parasite farmers but those who do? woof.#they know better than anyone how much these guys are allowed to do with no concequences#its too the point that most recruits are from the wet season shifts as its often seen as much safer to just join them#like theres still a chance theyll be eaten alive by giant bugs but its a better gamble than just sitting in a half empty town unprotected#also the big bugs are like the size of a oppossom or smth so pretty damn big but not enough so to like eat you whole or smth#they just chow down rly fast and efficiently and also usually in groups#but yeah even without that horror they still have to deal with the hoards of the little guys that are the whole reason everyone else is#underground to begin with#usually every morning is spent picking bugs out of eachother for several hours#even with the different ways of bug spraying places these buggers are still incredibly resilient so its hard to stop them all#oh btw the basic parasite it like rly little and is typically shaped pretty similarly to a stalien sensory hair#they have minor color shifting capabilities and generally latch onto the back of the upper tail#they generally stay latched for about a week before detaching and making their dig downwards or upwards depending on where they are and#turning basically their whole bodies into an egg sack and dying buried underground#the young will initially hatch during the dry seasons and feast on the energy gathered by their parent until cacopning themselves up#they will then rise to the surface as the rains start coming in and hatch soon after to repeat the cycle#most of their cocooned period is spent making their hard shell that will help with their camouflage and survival#as an adult feeds typically on the last day they will shed their shell to expand their body as they start up the chemical reaction to make#the energy for their young and that their larger cousins are farmed for#this leaves them much more visible and vulnerable not helped by this process typically hurting like hell for their host#which is ofc why they chose the back usually as staliens severly lack flexibility and cant rly do a lot abt it on their own#once they drop off they scutter away with remarkable speeds as the rush from the chemical reaction#which they continue to use to dig to their nesting grounds and burn out and die immediately after

GF art style studying/practice would probably go quicker if I actually use reference. But I don't! I've been going off the dome so far. It's had mixed results, lol.
Enjoy quick 10 min sketches of my favs whilst I'm working on something bigger; not Gravity Falls related.
Obligatory written out text because I have chicken scratch:
"GRUNKLE STAN!"
"What'dya need Pumpkin?"
"STICKER ATTACK"
"I LOVE YOU! BYE-BYE!"
*sigh* "love ya too, Pumpkin"

"They already do." "They look friendly enough." "The eldest one is called Tyrus. I've traded with him on many occasions." "Teyla Emmagan." "Tyrus. It has been many days." "Too many." "Teyla." "This is Major Sheppard, Dr. McKay and Lieutenant Ford." "My daughter, Sora." "You must be very proud." "She's betrothed." "Uh, I wasn't hitting on your daughter. I just thought—"

Friday is here, so I've got another Song-To-Go poll hot n' ready to go for you!
If you're new, hello and welcome! Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll released every Friday where I present you with new, lesser-known songs to listen to while you scroll.
As always, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (and I try to make sure there’s always something you won’t know). If you like what you hear, go listen to the full songs, they’re yours to carry along on your scroll!
[last week’s poll, playlist of everything so far (in order) and other/future picks]
*STERLING PRESS - DOORBELL. God. What an idiotic thing to miss.
Happy scrolling! This week, I've picked out downtempo lesbian indie with lyrics that still eat my brain, feminist queer punk from Belfast, cool modern indie with the Bass up loud, a brand new post punk album I am obsessed, obsessed, obsessed with right now and Portuguese-Welsh folky indie. It’s quite indie this week.
Let me know what you enjoyed, what you want to hear more of, what surprised you, etc etc. Reblog to tell your friends and me in the tags, and come back next Friday for another Song To Go poll!

everyone's gut instinct when they first saw ralsei in that cloak was definitely that he was the river person, but him being on a boat like that in chapter 2 is a little damning. if there's anything else in chapter 3 he's probably the river person.
