#voo-dudes

[clockspur]

I had a dream the other night that me and a bunch of other people were exploring this large, abandoned building. It was free to wander around in, and anything we found we could keep. There were so many corridors and rooms and places to go(and a weird sub-plot where an angsty teenager was rebelling against his father🤷‍♀️).

Eventually I found this display case- just sitting there, in the middle of some department store/mall store-debris. ‘Perfectly intact. Even the little t.v. inside was on. With another guy’s help, we got it open and I started pillaging it before I woke up.

So I drew it out, and made a story about the plush toys are special halloween voodoo dolls. I’m gonna call them ‘Lil Pie Guys for now.

Maybe I’ll add onto this later.

Or maybe I predicted a new toy line.

Either way it’s interesting🎃

UPDATE: Their new names are “Voo-dudes”

[kiwi-does-stuff]

rewatching glitter force cus MADOKA MAGICA WTF

[theredponcho]

Spoilers for the new ep of the amazing digital circus

Something cool I noticed second time around.

So I was rewatching the second episode on YouTube and I think gummy goo was starting to remember Pommi for like half a second.

So went Gangle came over to yell at Pommi we can see that Gummie goo was already a little bit weirded out and asks if he new her. She said she didn’t know but went pommi was talking to gangle and said the line “but.. it’s Gummie goo” we see gummie goo’s face change for a second before they cut away, watch what he does.

she says the line

Eyes widen

Then is about to reaches out.

after this scene it cuts to Gangle again and he never gets a chance to talk. Now ether two things were gonna happen. A he has a bit of a daysha voo moment from hearing the name and is about to ask questions. We don’t exactly know if he goes by this name in this world he might considering the fact that Ragatha calls blob dude by his previous name. The reaction seemed every intetionally put in there. For all we know Gummie goo could be the first mpc to become self aware so that could mean that he now has a easier time breaking out of the usual cycle and remember stuff. It was a very tramatic event and with Cain currently being very finicky and glitchy there could be things that happen that might cause maybe possible… slip ups.

Or B he is just very freaked out about the fact that this rando imploy knows his name and is about to say something along the lines of “wait how do you know my name??” It’s very possible sense he did seem really weirded out by Pommi and the whole situation.

I think it’s just a interesting reaction that can come into play later if it is option A. TADC does put a lot of detail in there characters expressions and for shadowing so who knows. I don’t think he remembers her at the end I think he had a moment were he was having a bit of dysha voo I don’t think he fully remembers her if that makes any sense. I just think its a cool detail that I was thinking about.

I’m a couple days late to the WIP game so feel free to save this for next time butttt:

[kicks in door like that Big Bird gif] did you say Acta, Non Verba [Frat Boy Steve]?

HIIIII LEX 👋 I will take any excuse to talk about Frat Boy Steve.

Excuse me while i monologue and your eyes glaze over.

I originally started the doc in like DECEMBER 2022?!?! (why am i like this??) I considered writing it for last years big bang and then I was like "no i want to finish it before then!" and I just haven't had time to work on it cause I kept signing up for events, and had writers block, and life... you know! Anyways, I have like... 30 maybe 40k of it written and two finished and beta'd chapters. I just don't want to screw myself again and start posting before it's finished so I'm being good and waiting to start posting chapters, make sure I know how it's ending so I can go back and edit and make everything cohesive. Man when everyone on twitter was going frat boy steve crazy and posting a bunch of frat boy art I was tempted to just post what I had but I'm glad I held back even if it's scary to think that by the time I'm actually finished it no one will want to read it but soo la voo...

Okay enough backstory here's the title card and first few paragraphs of chapter 1:

In Medias Res

September: Senior Year 

Steve Harrington has never really talked to Eddie Munson before. 

Well, he’s bought from him. So he’s like, talked to him in the way that you talk to the dude selling you weed… or E, or coke, or shrooms, or whatever else that was on hand and guaranteed to get you blitzed out of your mind. Steve had a wild party phase, alright? But that’s behind him—he sticks to weed now. 

Steve spots Eddie on the outskirts of the party raging on at Alpha Sig. He’s leaning against a wall, sipping from a red Solo cup and eyeing the rest of the partygoers with disdain. Based on the fact that the dude is always decked out in band tees with skulls and demons on them, Steve can’t imagine that he’s a fan of the “Hot Hits” playlist that’s currently blasting out of the speakers. 

Eddie’s lucky that he’s a good-looking dude cause the angry, brooding expression he’s wearing just works on him. Or maybe it just works on Steve. Come to think of it, Eddie’s face is often turned down in a scowl—at least it has been almost every time that Steve has bought from him. Maybe Eddie’s trying to look mean and scary, but Steve just thinks he’s too pretty to be truly intimidating. 

The thing is that Steve has always kind of noticed a tension between the two of them, a sort of—electricity. It’s something that Steve used to push to the back of his mind, ignoring the sparks he felt when his fingers would brush Eddie’s as he handed over the cash for whatever little baggie was his flavor of the week. Eddie’s always been kind of curt to him, almost like he’s irritated by Steve’s presence, but Steve chalks that up to being kind of a—read: huge—dick the first couple years at college.

He feels like he’s matured a lot in the past couple years; Nancy helped with that at first. He appreciates how much she helped him grow, even though their relationship didn’t work out, but Steve’s eternally grateful for Robin. He met her when he needed her most and was able to finally have a friend that he could be one hundred percent himself with. A best friend. Better than whatever the fuck he’d gone through with Tommy, which was something he and Robin had analyzed in depth, resulting in Steve coming out the other side of that discussion with a whole new sexual identity. 

So yeah, Steve feels like he’s grown and changed, become a better person. Become more settled in himself and what he wants. And right now he definitely wants to feel the electric charge he gets whenever he’s near Eddie Munson. 

Steve walks across the room, casually sidling up to Eddie. “Hey man, you got any rollies?”

“Yeah, Harrington," Eddie spits out Steve’s last name like it annoys him. "How many you need?” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a metal cigarette case. Parts of the design are nearly rubbed off, but it’s engraved with a swirly ‘WM’ in the center. 

“Just the one for now,” Steve replies, holding out a bill between his fingers. “Might come back for more later."

Eddie rolls his eyes and scoffs as he grabs the bill, plucks a joint from the case and holds it out. “Why don’t you just buy more now, dude?” 

Steve smirks, leans in a little as he takes the joint, holds Eddie’s fingers for a beat. “What, and miss the pleasure of bothering you again? Never."

🧢 🤘

Thanks for reading! I've been a little burnt out and I have a few things I have to finish, but I'm hoping to get back to Frat Boy Steve soon. If you want more random snippets I've shared a few, just check the #acta non verba tag on my profile

[shatteredwaters]

That's the definition, yeah. I don't care what people ships, but that doesn't mean I ship those... But dw, I don't want to make a discussion! I just wanted to know before following, and since you said no I understand clearly, I know that people can be uncomfortable and I don't wish that :)

Are you okay if I am a VOO fan though? Just a normal fan, I just like the show and don't have any weird stuff 😅

idk man but word of advice from me is you need to set boundaries to certain ships there’s so many that cannot be acceptable you cannot support things like some of those dude

2020/1/22

年明けしてからもあっという間、1月も残り僅かとなりました。

西暦的にも節目の年なんでしょうか？何かとそう感じることが少なからずある今日この頃。。とにかく前を向きつつ、進むだけです。

週末は相方にお店をお任せして、マイファミリーで雪国トリップ。自然の雄大さに感動したと共に、カラダもバキバキです 笑。

道の駅は、ご当地スーベニアの宝庫！立ち寄るとついディグってしまいます。お店のおやつ用にいくつか買ってみました〜。

遠方からわざわざデュードイン！世代は違えど、洋服好き具合がビンビンに感じられて楽しかったなあ。

わざわざ、ありがとうございます！久々にお会いしたかったです、、。お店の看板も一年でナイスエイジング。

まさにJRYS KDS！嬉しいなあ〜。

相手を��うギフト選びも最高の時間。DATSUNのザクカラーも素晴らしい！

やっとのお気持ちわかります 笑。湘南トリップのついでにどうぞ。。

デッドヘッド プリンセスがベアステッカーをボム！ミラクル起きますよ、、笑。

こだわりあるヘッズがゲットしてくれて本当に嬉しい！こちらこそ、いつもサポートありがとう！現在SOLD中のこちらのフーディは、月末にリストックします���

とあるヘッズがいきなりボム！ 笑。

次の日もポストされました 爆。イジられて光栄です。

デュードベアのグミを開発中、、嘘。

@brent_mydlands_rolex

@notre

本当にデッドヘッドとのやりとりにはミラクルがつきものです。

去年からリリースするたび、毎回サポートしてくれるといっても過言ではない？とあるヘッズは、シカゴにあるセレクト���ョップのオーナー。

いつものお礼��思いギフトを送ったところ、まさかののスペシャルパッケージ返し！

アイテムから伝わるのは、情報最優先ではなく世界の各地でヴァイブス高めのショップがあるということ、人がいるということ。

それを自分と同じヘッズから学び、遠く離れていても、想いや気持ちを共有できることが本当に素晴らしいと思えるし、最高なんです。

@tumbledownshack "SPACE" Longsleeve Tee

NCに住むTDS先輩とも気がつけばお店をオープンして間もない頃からの付き合い。リリースされたものは、ほぼオーダーしていますが、やりとりすればするほど大先輩という事に気が付きました。自分の中では、ボスです 笑。

今回もスケートラバーにはお馴染みのグラフィックをGDシフトにグッドチェンジ。自身によるシルクプリントの風合いも素晴らしい仕上がりとなっています。

@bluesforsallah "Club 78" Crewneck

ボスと並んで、自分の中ではマスターヘッズでもあるLAのサラー先輩！

アートワークやアイテムはもちろん、デッドのパーティを開催するなど、先輩ならではのライフスタイルそのものが支持されているデッドラバー。

LAで着たら最高であろう、レーヨンブレンドのスウェットシャツは、控えめなフロントと対照的なバックプリントがマストチェックな一着。

個人レベルとは思えないクオリティは、袖を通せばわかります。

@connorabradley "GRATEFUL DUDE" Longsleeve Tee

自身の個人ブランドも要注目なNYのヘッズ、ブラッドリーは元々インクスタジオにいた事もあって、グラフィックはもちろん、プリントのクオリティがハンパじゃありません。

今回もネタがネタだけに、買い逃したら本国でも手に入らない一着となっております。

@cardboard.cowboys "THE COWBOY RIDES AGAIN" Tee

はじめまして！な感じでトレードを持ちかけれたのがきっかけで繋がった、カードボード カウボーイ。

ハンドドローイングによるアートワークは、どちらかというとエッジのきいたグラフィックが多いヘッズの中でも気にになる存在に。

そう、パッと見でいうと目を惹く一着なんです。自身のタイダイもやっぱり良い雰囲気です。

@cardboard.cowboys "SMILE!" Tee & Tote Bag

こちらもソフトな感じのグラフィックがフレッシュ！そして見た事のないボディメーカーを使用しているところもポイントです 笑。

チープシックなトートバッグは、ヘッズならではの味のある作りが楽しめます。

ステッカーも沢山ありがとう〜。

DUDE INN　"Jerry Face" Knit Hat (4 Color)

Dude inn流、ニットハットがニューカラーでリストック！早くも好評を頂いており、残りわずかとなってきました。

ローゲージで編み立てられたコットンボディは柔らかく、被るほどゆっくり馴染んでくるのが最高。自分も相方も年中被ってます 笑。

洗濯も可能なんで、経年した時の色のイメージをするのも楽しいです。

男女問わず、着用して頂けたら幸いですね、、。

@dudeinn Vintage "Pattern" Sweater

暖冬とはいっても冬本番！ダウンはさておき、見た目にもあたたかなセーターが着たくなります。そんな中集めたのは、アウター代わりにもなるであろう本格的な作りのモノや既製品ではないモノ。。

ワン＆オンリーな柄モノは、確かなクオリティとヘッズライクなカラーリングが最高です。

@dudeinn

Vintage "Aran" Sweater

自身も着ていますが、本当に暖かくてアウター代わりになります 笑。

ナチュラルも鉄板ですが、天邪鬼な自分としてはネイビーやブラックをリコメンド。アイルランドやドネガルから、愛を込めて。

@dudeinn

Vintage "Aran" Sweater (Natural)

とはいえ、ヤングはもちろん、おじさんでも最高に似合うナチュラルも揃えました。いずれも状態も良く、フカフカで着るのが気持ちイイです。

話は少し先になりますが、HMBの新年はじめてのMABROCKのパーティに、ポップアップで参加します！

キモックのアフターということもあり、ヘッズはテンション高めではないでしょうか？ 笑。今からスケジュールのセッティングをお願いします。

NYEから今週はPLAY’N THE SAND！SFの友人も行っていましたが、まさにパラダイス。いつ消えるかわかりませんが、、今なら丸々見れますよ〜。

今週もマイノリティなブログに最後までお付き合いありがとうございま��た。

お店も明日からマイペースではございますが、オープンしております。

敷地内のマーヴィスタガーデンは現在リニューアル中となっており、クローズしておりますが、広々とした敷地内は変わらずデッドが良く聴こえる環境です。

週末は自分たちも待ちに待った？新たなスーベニア アイテムもリリース予定なのでお楽しみにどうぞ！！

それでは、また。

Girl Help Part 2

I wrote this in a fucking frenzy

there’s no, like, content worth warning about in this one though

"calais," said Marvus. "cuh-LIE-is. soundz like a troll name."

"A troll name?" asked Calais.

"fo sho babe," said Marvus. "six n six. marvus xoloto. trizza tethis. all part o da fxxked up hellawhack shiznack dat dictates r planets whole history n shit. twelves all over da dam place."

"Is that what you are?" asked Calais. "A...troll?"

Marvus blinked at her, a slow, lizard-like blink. He gave a low whistle. "dam we gotta start w da basics here."

The planet was called Alternia, the species was called trolls. The entire society revolved around a rigid caste system based on blood color, which divided trolls into twelve distinct subtypes with different physical traits. Red was at the bottom, Fuchsia at the top.

"its all bullshit tho," he added at the end. There was a flash of something in his eyes.

"What was that thing you were doing?" asked Calais. "Earlier. To me."

Did Marvus stiffen ever so slightly? Was that a flare in his nostrils? His eyes flicked up and down Calais with lightning speed before he leaned back with affected nonchalance.

"chucklevoodoos," he said. There was something guarded in his voice.

Calais blinked at him for a second, hoping that the jumble of noise he had just poured at them would sort itself out. No luck.

"Chuck-a-what?"

"chuck-el-voo-doos," said Marvus again. "purpleblood shit. wuz doin it 2 every1, not jus u."

"You mean like...mind control?" Calais guessed.

Marvus frowned. "controlz a strong word 4 it, my dude. its more like vibez."

Calais suddenly understood something.

Should she say it? She usually liked to have her cards on the table. She did it as often as she could, in the hopes that the other person would do the same. She got the feeling this man wouldn't, though.

But then again, he already had all the power in this situation. The only hope that she had was to try to build some sort of relationship with him, and she liked it when those were built on trust. Besides, she liked being honest better. Easier to remember her answers.

But still, a voice in the back of her head screamed at her to think it through a bit more, even as she opened her mouth and blurted out-

"You don't like that you can't control me."

Marvus looked slightly taken aback. He narrowed his eyes a bit. "no, I don't," he said slowly. Candidly. His hand started to edge towards his cane.

Oh shit, he thought she was trying to flex on him. Calais started to fumble, multiple different de-escalators and disclaimers colliding on the way out of her mouth and throwing random sounds everywhere.

Eventually she managed to concentrate enough to form real words.

"I-I mean you CAN," said Calais. "You CAN control me. I just hate it. I hate it enough that I can tell that it's happening."

Marvus paused. Calais continued, trying to explain everything in a rush.

"Not that it feels bad. It feels good. That's what I hate about it. I can tell in my head that it's not how I'd normally feel. I know that normally I'd be...repulsed. Normally I'd have a sense of...boundaries. And what's gross and what's not. And whatever the chuckle thing does, it doesn't stop me from being scared. I'm always scared of that."

"scared of wat?" Marvus asked. His teeth glinted in a smirk. "gettin ur pail on?"

"My what?"

"dam. dunno wat pailing is? gettin freaky, babe. all concupiscent n shit."

"Oh. I mean. Yeah? I'm kind of scared of it...I mean." Calais stress stimmed a little. "It's more that I'm scared of not being in control? Like, did you know that being horny actively lowers your disgust response? Even without the voodoos or whatever. Literally, the only reason that we can enjoy reproducing is because we no longer have an accurate sense of what's gross and what isn't. That's what I don't like. The idea that I could be in a situation where I'm doing all these, just. Objectively disgusting things? And LIKING it? And not being able to tell that it's nasty? Or even being able to tell and not caring. I hate it. I hate it so much. It scares me. And I definitely don't want to be like that around another person."

"huh," said Marvus. "never met any1 else like dat."

Calais shrugged. "Maybe because they don't come to whatever it was you were doing."

"nah," said Marvus. "I seen ppl roll up who didn't want 2 b there. they come around in the end." He tilted his head at them. "prolly cause ur an alien," he said, seeming to decide it as he said it. "pailing n murder r pretty normal mental states 4 us. disinhibition doesn't bother ppl."

He looked a little more relaxed now for having come to this conclusion. Calais figured that was a good thing.

"so wat r u?" he asked.

"Oh! Um. We call ourselves humans," said Calais. "Uh, we all have the same blood color, so that's not a thing...and I'm pretty sure nobody has any psychic powers, either."

"dam. wat do u do then?"

"Uh..." Calais puffed air through her cheeks. "I dunno. I'm not sure what to tell you. Whatever it is would be completely normal for me, so..."

"wat color's ur blood?"

"Um, red?" said Calais.

Marvus winced, but he was smiling. "ooh. dats gonna b rough."

"Yeah, I was gonna say..." Calais curled into herself a little, then remembered her ribs and winced, stopping up short.

"how'd u get here?" asked Marvus.

"I...have no idea," said Calais. She blinked. "I don't know. I don't know at all. I was suddenly just. Here."

"where were u b4?"

Calais looked around, as if the answer were written somewhere in the room. "I...I don't know!" she exclaimed. "I mean, I must have been somewhere, but I don't...I can't..." she started to wring her hands.

"woah, woah, babe, calm down," said Marvus, lifting his hands in a placating gesture. "it's all gonna b ok."

Calais shied away from him instinctively. He was awfully close. But she realized that the fact that this bothered her was a good thing.

"What did you see?" she asked.

Marvus shrugged. "u weren't there. then u were."

Calais wondered briefly if he was telling the truth. But even if he weren't, there was no way they would be able to tell. They would have to take him at his word.

"That's...not very helpful," they said absently.

Marvus laughed. "guess not. dam."

"I don't know what I was doing before I came here, I don't know how I got here, and I don't know how to get back." Calais thought for a bit, chewing her lip. "M-maybe someone at the concert saw? Someone in the mosh pit?"

"m tellin u babe, there was nuthin 2 c," said Marvus.

"Can we...check?" Calais asked carefully, looking warily at her clown host.

Marvus smiled, a somewhat easygoing smile that was nevertheless a little too toothy. "my concerts r wild, my dude," he said. "they was deffs all distracted. n they're all prolly all hells 2 the indisposed atm."

Calais dimly remembered the general reaction - or lack of reaction - to their appearance and realized that this was probably true.

Calais looked at Marvus, running calculations in her head. She was starting to realize how this was going to go, although she didn't want to believe it. Didn't want to need him. But she needed somebody, and...

"u don't have anywhere 2 go, do u," said Marvus. It wasn't really a question.

Calais flinched. "Yes," they said.

Marvus drummed his fingertips against the table he was leaning on. They clicked on the wood. Calais realized that his fingernails were claws and swallowed hard.

. "tell u wat, babe," said Marvus. "m on the homeward part of my tour atm. y don't u come w me n we'll see if we can figure out how 2 get u home."

Calais closed their eyes and took a deep breath. Don't think about the creepy clown, don't think about how you feel, just consider him, consider yourself, consider the situation, there's no need to be scared if you just figure out what's going on and why you're afraid...

Blessedly, Marvus let her sit there in shut-eyed silence until she was able to put her thoughts together and turn to him.

Direct communication. It was something that she liked.

"You want to keep me near you," she said. "You don't know what to make of me, and you want me in...in, like, your hand."

"well yh," said Marvus. "dats all true. but dat doesn't mean it can't b mutually beneficial, ufeelme? yeah ur an alien n u might b useful n shit but dat doesn't mean I can't help u 2. u do need somewhere to stay right? alternia is vy dangerous. 'specially 4 mutants n aliens. 'specially 4 mutants n aliens w red blood."

"I do need your help," said Calais. "I just..." pain and trauma emboldened her; fear wasn't enough to keep her quiet. "I just don't want you to pretend your motives aren't selfish. I don't want you to pretend anything. It's okay that you want to use me...I mean, it's not okay, but I don't exactly have a choice and I probably can't fight you so at the very least I want to know that that's what's happening, get it?"

She picked at flecks of teal under her fingernails and realized for the first time that it was blood. Their stomach lurched and they froze, setting their hand back down. "I'll probably be more cooperative than you think," she said quietly. "As long as I know what I'm getting into. I mean. When you manipulate someone, you want to make them feel at ease, right? Like they can trust you? So they'll do what you want? Well, I'll feel way more at ease if I think I can trust you. If I know you're telling the truth. Even if it's bad. So just...don't try to sell me anything. Do you understand?"

She glanced up at Marvus. He was shaking his head slowly. "ur a rlly weird alien," he said. "sure. if dats wat u want."

"Do you promise?" asked Calais.

Marvus nodded. "fo sho, babe. promise. but m not tryna use u. not yet @ least. ur a wild card. jus wanna keep an eye on u 4 now."

"Right," said Calais.

"so it's a deal, then?" asked Marvus with a smirk. He held out his hand.

Calais looked at his hand, then back up to his face. Hesitated. Then reached out and took his hand.

Marvus' grip was strong, and his hand seemed to swallow up her own. Calais strengthened her grip, but she got the feeling that no matter how tight she squeezed, it  wouldn't impress him.

He grinned at her and gave her hand a quick up and down shake. She seriously doubted that he was trying to make a show of strength, but it still felt as though he could wrench her shoulder from its socket, just by shaking her hand.

"alrite then. it's a deal," he said.

Calais pulled their arm back against her chest. A deal.

This creature was, evidently, not Satan. Just an alien with horns and freaky mind powers. But that didn't keep the phrase "deal with the devil" from reverberating wryly through her mind.

Day #5

5) Favorite dark guild

i’m laying here trying to sleep when I realize I haven’t done the challenge yet today... it’s 1am.

So when I first read the prompt I thought “Oracion Seis!” because duh, they’re cool, but after some deliberation I realized that I think I like Grimoire Heart better. Ultear and Meredy turned out to be cool and helpful, Zancrow was creepy and funny just how I like it, Hades is like the coolest name and also he was a founding father of Fairy Tail itself! capricorn was a freakin celestial spirit........ and they actually nearly beat Fairy Tail.

I could have done without the voo doo dude though tbh :/

[clockspur]

I MADE MORE

Truly, my latest obsessions have a chokehold on my consciousness.

UPDATE: I’ve decided to rename them “Voo-dudes”.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering why the Bride has that color of hair, it’s based on what she actually looks like in color- this:

Voo-Dudes - all the stress management and none of the pesky black magic.

Whether running a business, working in an office, or taking care of everyone at home, stress doesn’t pick and choose - it loves us all equally. Walking through the Monkeyjack compound after a busy shipping season, we noticed a lot of uneasy eye ticks and tail twitches - except for one production monkey. Surrounded by tiny piles of torn up cardboard, he was calm, cool, and collected. His secret?

Voo-Dudes. Tiny cut-outs of people in a convenient storage crate. Write down the name of the person, country, food-group, or whatever is bugging you on the cardboard figure. The amount of artistry you put into it is up to you. Then, with or without theatrics, tear it to shreds! Cut it into pieces! Soak it in coffee until it falls apart! Stomp it! Tape it to your car tire! Drop it into a campfire and make s’mores over it! Get creative with your destruction - and watch your stress fall away with the tiny little pieces of Voo-Dude.

And you know that one production monkey? He’s now the head of marketing. True story.

Get a closer look, or buy now!

how were the aliens in VOO first made? like when did you come up with the idea of making them? (those being Phoenix, Orion, Point, Angle, etc.)

Phoenix was based off of these dudes from soul, Michael suggested the concept of them being based off these guys, Phoenix and Orion's name, and the species name being Wires, Orion was based directly off of Phoenix but different hairstyle to differentiate them, same with star

Point and Angle were based off of something like ancient stone, to help represent age and wisdom, as well as a high-tech design, hence certain parts of them glowing and their eye appearance being most alien, oddly enough the designs of them were based both off of rocks and dice, hence why the species name is "Ten Sides"
