My horrible son, Watama. He is a sophont living in a series of caves in a big colony along with other creatures of his species (not sure what I will call them yet) and technically he is a subtroglophile since his species has to leave the caves to get food etc (they are omnivores but eat lots of bugs. Yummy). His species is nocturnal, hence the big sad wet eyes. Also his species usually wears clothes of some sort since it's quite cold where they live, I just haven't drawn them yet. Watama is a male, but like the Kerilone who he is distantly related to, when he reaches a certain age and body fat percentage, he'll become a female, and get a lot larger and more sedentary, and lose the red pigmentation around his chest spiracles. This won't happen for him for a long while though, since he's pretty skinny for a whatever-he-is, although you can't tell because of his thick layer of plumulaceous feathers. He is quite a drab example of his species, but they aren't generally super colourful anyway - there's not much point if you live in a dark cave.

Yuma Month: Day 24: Mirror

A mysterious and fateful first encounter…?

[abrushstrokeofsilver]

oh my god i almost forgot to do today's prompt

is it the adhd? is it the fact that i am actively sick (fitting for the prompt though)? no clue, it's probably a combination of both

have the light siblings dealing with roboenza

[kalosian-woods]

hey, synchro anon here!

what do you think about the dynamic between bonnie and squishy? imo i like their "tiny child and the tiny creature they found one random day that turns out to be a super powerful entity" dynamic in a way that really got me to love her character

(and totally not because i cannot get bonnie's song out of my head from doing a xyz sub binge)

Tbh, I can't get enough of them lol. I really love Bonnie as she is and the fact that she got to have an amazing arc with the worlds most (in dub) Galarian-Kalosian blob ever is amazing to me.

I guess one thing that really elevates it is that it's not just made in a void? In the previous seasons we've seen Bonnie take care of a Flabebe, a Lapras and a Tyrunt/Tyrantrum. In all these examples we see her passion for Pokemon and her caring side in application, not just in theory and words, and that's so powerful to me. Not only that, but we see her grow and adjust her style of caring through each of these experiences; first learning to help Pokemon (and people) and then learning how to let go with Flabebe, then learning to work with others to help Lapras get home, then watch a Pokemon grow up (and also deal with a powerful Pokemon in the first place) with Tyrantrum. And that's not to take away from Dedenne and their relationship evolve over time (at least I hope it did? Don't think we had many eps on it but it's there in my heart)!

And again, coming from Squishy's side: they're a Legendary tasked with taking care of the order of Kalos, an endeavour that has become more precarious and dangerous over time. They just escaped an evil facility thanks to the help of a brave Pokemon and it was just finding a place to rest when it happened upon Bonnie and the gang. After hearing about Terminus Cave (and managing to steer the group to get there), their connection with the group should've been over, right? They finally got to their home. But of course, nothing is easy and they were chased out. C'est la vie, humans are evil, a simple enough conclusion to be made. So that's the end of that journey.

Except, well, it isn't.

Because Bonnie knows how it feels like to lose a home. And Bonnie is just a little bit selfish, and stubborn and just all too caring. She's made a promise and she's going to keep it, and if 'A Cellular Connection' isn't something then I'm not something because oughf, just the rawness of it all. Squishy truly did not expect Bonnie to keep on their tail and they're intrigued by it. Bonnie just wants to make sure that they are alright and safe and happy (and maybe see if they can stay together, even with those bad people coming after them). She doesn't push them to show their power. She doesn't ask them why they are running, or figure out what Squishy is. She's just happy with them just as they are!

And I feel like that does so much more to turn Squishy's opinion on people than anything else. Sure, the rest of the gang and all the people they meet along the way were evidence, was proof that Squishy hoarded and whispered to their other self (or at least tried to), but they were exposed to Bonnie the most. And Bonnie is so active and social and full of energy but also emphathetic too, and willing to give an ear and help however she could. And in turn, Squishy taught Bonnie how to listen and read between the lines and put all of those previous lessons to action now, to protect the ones that she loves.

Ngl we don't get too many eps on them (and especially Squishy themselves) once we get deeper into the Greninja arc which does suck, but I can appreciate their relationship in the background. In a way, it's almost poetic?? That a powerful entity that moniters the whole region is just chilling around with a child and seeing the world through their eyes. Trudging through forests and making food and playing in the Pokemon Centres and watching mock battles and practice Performances. Slices of life that really brings everything to perspective - that goes to show that humans are a lot more complicated than anyone can ever imagine. And that, most of the time, they incline towards goodness. And caring. And trying to be better than they were before.

Just,,,, idk how to say it but I do love them a lot. I love how something powerful learns domestic life and how someone young learns the intricacies of looking after unknown Pokemon. I love how they both go through the effort of understanding each other and appreciating the finer details in life while also developing their own moral compasses together. I love how their bond grows so much, bigger than them, bigger than the city, bigger than all the Mega Evolution energy a misguided Trainer has gathered, and I love how they both tend to lean towards protecting everyone, all the time. Even each other. Even themselves, if it means protecting the other. And of course I love their promise to each other at the end (and I love how it was real, and it will/has happened, and how they continue to think about each other as they go about their lives to make everywhere a better place).

Art from Mundus Carnis, a geiger-esque biopunk worldbuilding project by Screeble on DA.

I'm a huge huge fan of their art and writing and worldbuilding, have been for years. They did some fantastic work in a collaborative spec evo forum game I lurked.

Which have lived in my head ever since.

i'm screaming !! an update for WHTD !! Lately we are blessed with all the TDJ content !! <3

I hope you'll like it 💜

I know it's not a very exciting chapter compared to the two before it — which I think we can all agree were quite dramatic — but it's necessary to give them some time to recalibrate and get used to their new circumstances. Ga On, in particular, is going to be understandably cautious going forward.

So yeah. I hope you'll like it, even if it's a pretty low-key and kind of uneasy chapter. But, if nothing else, it brings us one step closer to them getting together! It may not feel like it right now, but everything that happens from this point forward is going to be moving us in that direction.

I mean, Ga On is already second-guessing his choices, which I think says a lot x'D

It can only go up from here!

literally i love just LURKING on here. i have truly become eldritch horror. my ass is a CRYPTID. i log on, dm a couple people, like a post or two and then fly under the radar again for the next 24 hours

[monster-energay-ultra-blue]

not much is more appealing than the idea of my partner just doing super silly stuff to me unannounced like grabbing my bum or teasing me or turning me into a melty moany mess or if my partner wanted to use me like a toy, they wouldnt have to say a word, and just do it to me and all i can do is behave in return cuz i would never want them to stop

i could totally be playing call of duty or minecraft and if they wanted to they could totally start playing with me and i fucking love the idea of me trying to keep my composure/focus while my partner has fun with me

my partner isnt into pee but i would totally listen if they playfully told me to hold it in even if i couldnt hold it and made a total mess of myself

Batfam Eldritch Horror

AKA "inspired by that one post about Danny being a flerken and living with the Batfam" idea! Except he looks pants-shitting, "oh dear god, what is that" terrifying.

I just love slightly feral animal-like Danny in a... shape. It's not immediately identifiable as a cat or dog, maybe he has a few too many legs that kind of look like a tail at one point? And when he skitters up walls like a particularly small dog-sized tarantula, it's terrifying enough to make seasoned criminals squeal.

Let's imagine Danny had some sort of accident with a portal and was Wizard-of-Oz'd into Gotham, a literal hellmouth of a city with so many curses that it'd make John Constantine start to sweat. And this city also has... weird Ecto. (In my brain, there's a connection between the Lazarus Pit and ectoplasm, like pit waters are the sewers of ectoplasm or something.) It's enough for Danny to still exist but he can't seem to stay human-shaped. It's better than being a Blob Ghost, but not by much. His fur-scales-feathers-skin-something look dark as the midnight sky.

And who should stumble on this weird-looking Thing aside from Damian, secret animal-whisperer and passionate Pokemon collector? Damian, who known what a scared feral animal looks like and who can coax it into his arms? It doesn't matter that Danny has maybe five or six limbs. He can make himself slightly smaller at will (not in a Magical-Girl-Transformation way, mind you. When he changes shape, there's the distinct snap of bones breaking and wet, fleshy sounds of his organs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, everything shifting).

Damian has literally been trained by the League of Assassins under the Demon Head. He's likely seen more people's insides than an ER surgeon; he's killed more than enough people in incredibly grotesque and violent ways to be totally unphased by Danny changing shapes. Maybe he'll actually be sort of touched, a bit pleased, that his new Thing pet would change itself so violently so Damian could hold it.

What would Damian name it? He's outwardly violent and aggressive towards others, but pretty passionate and heartfelt once he cares for someone. Alfred the Cat comes to mind. So maybe Damian takes one look at this supposedly scary Thing and thinks, "It looks like Father."

As in, Dark as Night? A shadow inspiring fear amongst criminals? Spoken about in whispers, sometimes laughed off as a joke but still cautiously reverent, just in case?

Danny's new name is Batman.

Of course, this causes some confusion when Damian comes home to Wayne Manor and says, "Batman and I will retire to my room." In front of Bruce, who naturally and kind-of-correctly assumes his son picked up another animal while on patrol. Bruce had a hard time explaining this to a very concerned Dick, who was holding up a wooden stake and a bible (Dick totally wasn't going to kill Bruce if he turned out to be a vampire but it's always good to be prepared!), after Damian apparently made a wayward comment that "Batman refuses to eat anything besides raw meat."

And Danny is having a great time!! Sure, Damian treats him like a pet, but he gets affectionate pats on the head, incredibly expensive steak, and a soft place to sleep. He awkwardly dragged several blankets from the living room to Damian's room to make a bed in the kid's closet. (Alfred watched from behind the couch as this six-legged hairy-ish catlike Thing determinedly waddled with three blankets in its mouth, occasionally tripping on its own legs. He went back to dusting the crown moulding silently. So, that's why Master Damian requested uncooked sirloin steak twelve times in last few days. Hm.)

So, the Batfam accept there is another Batman in the family. Except they haven't actually seen Danny (aside from Alfred and Damian).

Until Dick needs to talk to Damian and goes into the boy's room. But it's empty?? He could've sworn he heard somebody talking or something in here, but maybe not? He turns to leave and then hears it again: a soft kind of thump coming from Damian's armoire. A shit-eating grin spreads across his face as his Older Brother Instincts kick in. Jason used to hide in closets and try to scare Dick when he was little; Damian, despite being a child soldier and trained assassin, was still a little kid at heart, right? The kid's clearly hiding from Dick to scare him or something.

(Damian was in the Batcave, studiously typing "Google, what non-Earth animals reside in Gotham, please?" into the Batcomputer. I like to think that Damian uses the internet like a 85-year old man who thinks a Google employee personally replies to each question.)

So, Dick creeps forward and abruptly slams open the armoire doors!! Only to let out an unholy shriek of terror as Danny, who was taking a nap, frantically skitters out of the closet looking like a Frankenstein cat-dog with bat wings. He crawls under Damian's bed as Dick scrambles into the hallway.

The cat-dog-Thing is out of the bag now. Damian looks utterly deadpan as he explains that Batman is his pet and not to concern themselves with it; Bruce, Tim, Jason, and a white-faced Dick disagreed. They need to see it to make sure the Thing won't harm anybody, especially considering it's fucking living with them!! How do they know it won't try to eat them in their sleep??

"Batman does not eat raw human meat, Todd. Why are you concerned now? It has resided with us for two months now."

"Two months?" Dick nearly faints (again).

"Yes, Batman is very well-behaved, Master Dick." Alfred, who's been feeding Danny for the last two months and has seen all the little quirks the Thing has, offers a consoling half-smile.

Ultimately, the Batfam decide to keep Batman in exchange for scary dog privileges. They'll have to think of another name for Danny considering having two Batmans in Gotham would be pretty confusing (especially if one of them decided they did, in fact, like raw human flesh).
