What breed of dog would Dyo and/or Millie be?

(( Shoot that’s a good question… What do YOU guys think?

Milly I could see being either an Afghan or a Collie visually since they have long coats. I could even see Border Collie since they get really honed in and focused on things and if they are anything like the one I had they get really sad and timid if they upset you.

Dyo… personality wise I think he would be whatever dog is a little shit lol My first assumption wants to say Husky cause they won’t shut the fuck up and have very piercing eyes.

But my brain also thinks Doberman but I can’t explain why that is. I think it’s the lithe figure.

Maybe even a Chow Chow cause they’re shitty as hell to strangers but they are extremely devoted and loving to those close to them. Visually he just doesn’t look like one at all lol ))

OOC: What's it like in Ganymede?

Oh, it's great! The nightlife! The beer! The people! The beer!

But being serious, it's a kind of an unassuming town at first. It's an older place, so I lot of the architecture isn't very modern but I think that gives it an interesting aesthetic. Everything's pretty walkable, almost all of the shops are locally owned, and there aren't any annoying tourists around to get in the way and up your ass.

It's not a small town, at least not as much anymore. It's grown a lot since I moved here some 80-odd years ago (shit, wait, how long has it been? Have I hit the 100 mark yet? Damn, I gotta start paying attention...) but it's got a small-town feel. Everyone knows each other, gossip travels fast--definitely not due to me--and everyone comes out to support each other.

The town is kinda settled in-between a huge expanse of woods, and thus far the neighboring cities haven't been able to touch it: because I fucking own all that land, ehehe~ Not that I'm super into the idea of going back to live in a forest again, but I rather there be a decent distance between me and the big cities. Don't ask me why, just how I feel. I've had countless offers over the years to build stuff on it, but I've refused all of them. Guess the secret to keeping humans out is to have insane amounts of money. Ain't that just the case? Wish I had known that back in the day...

But if you do want to explore outside of the town, Marigold City isn't too far a drive and you can get whatever Ganymede doesn't offer there. They also have some pretty sick night clubs, gotta admit.

Ganymede is also Gay As Fuck. I think queer people make every place better, not gonna lie. I've been to a lot of places in my life, so I think I have the credentials to say that. The townsfolk are all accepting and open and have a community-first type of mindset at the end of the day. So if you have issues with seeing a lot of rainbows and hearing people having every type of pronoun imaginable, maybe stay away.

Not really surprising they're the only people who accepted a freak-ass alcoholic talking Darkrai into their midst... but hey, I'm not complaining!

[askdyo]

Would it be possible to take a piece of you, cook it like a steak and eat it? I promise I am not weird just morbidly curious.

Damn, my guy, I worry what your nightmares are like. I guess I've heard freakier shit, so I'll try not to judge...

I mean, anything is possible. But I don't have regenerative powers, so if I cut a chunk out of me, it's not growing back. I'm not really a fan of that idea. I'm already missing some bits, I rather keep the rest!

But in the theoretical I was totally chill with that, I think you could?? Even though some of my body is weird mystery matter, I do have flesh, muscle, tendons, all that organic shit too. My arms and torso will probably offer the most succulent of choices. My legs are made up of my matter so technically they shouldn't have anything there... but I'm starting to wonder...

The only way I can't see it working is because when Darkrai die, their bodies kinda dissolve to return to the Hollow. We don't really understand why they do that, but some of us wonder if the particles get reused into the energy that makes up that space. You hear a lot of questionably soul-like whispers in there, after all. No one knows what the fuck that's about.

But if that's the case, I feel like the chunk of fleshmeat might dissolve once it's no longer attached to the host? But I dunno, maybe it'll be fine so long as the Darkrai is alive. I gotta find someone willing for me to test out this theory...

The only exception to all of this is my skirt parts dissolve away once cut off and do regenerate, but that's cause my skirt isn't organic. If they were, the best they could make is maybe some beef jerky. Ooh, I wonder what flavor I would be...

(( YOOOO it's Dyo's birthday what da FUQ!!! Here's all the Art Fight attacks I've gotten of him so far~ No particular order, I just grabbed them as they're saved in my folder lol Artists in order: JustBeingSanjee, KaitoFalonX, @found-disaster, @hollysplash, Stalmos, @churchydragon, @battiethelbb ))

(( Also I'm going to shill my Art Fight and just say if you draw Dyo I'll cry for real for real https://artfight.net/~AlfaFilly )

Do you have a birthday Dyo? Or do you not care about celebrating such things? 🙃

I wish I could say I remember when I came into existence, but that memory is just long gone now. I was "born" in the Hollow, but I made it out pretty quickly. I think so, anyway? Time's kinda weird in there. I remember the weather was warm, so I assume it was in summer? Ugh, I hated when it was warm in that damn forest…

When I was asked once about my birthday, I just kinda pulled a date out of my ass. July 14th. So we’ve just said it was that ever since.

I'm not huge into celebrating my birthday cause it doesn't mean much to me. What's yet another year stacked on top, ya know? But I do enjoy when people buy me a drink or two as a lil gift~

Also I guess that means I’m a Cancer sign. Whatever that fucking entails. Never cared about that much either.

Do you prefer Cake or pie? If so what kind?

Hm... that's a tough one... I'm not really the best at baking just yet. I'm getting there, but it's definitely my weakness (of which I have very few mind you).

Cake is a bit easier to make generally speaking. I fuck 'em up a lot less. But what's the challenge in that, ya know??

I made a razz berry chiffon pie once that was killer. I haven't been able to recreate that success... yet.

Mind you, I can't taste anything, like we've established. So I don't give a shit about flavor myself. But when I feed it to others and it tastes like garbage, they let you know quick. Bitches.

[askdyo]

What's Dyo favorite season ?

Oh, easy! Winter! It's cold as fuck and dark as hell. What more can you ask for?

At least... it used to be my favorite. Milly isn't a huge fan of how cold it can get in Ganymede. Guess she used to live in the south so she's not used to it. I get a bit bummed about that, but I'm hoping she'll get acclimated. She got used to my frigid ass, after all!

[askdyo]

I present my son Orpheus for evaluation. *please don’t kill him he’s my baby*

Damn!! Dude's got more scars than I do!! Shit, man, maybe we outta have a therapy session together.

Ohhhhh he's so colorful!! I didn't even know Darkrai could have other colors or markings like this! It's so interesting! And his claws are so cool.

Huh? What do you mean? We all have markings.

... No you don't.

Ohhh shit, that's right! I forgot your human eyes are dumb and can't see 'em. Man, sucks to be you. You'd be impressed at how epic and nice mine are.

Dyo... are you joking with me or--?

Anyway, yeah this dude seems kinda chill. I don't think I'd wanna hang out with him in the Hollow or anything, but I'm not getting any stuck-up energy at the moment, and those are the worst types!

Dyo!! Were you being for real or--!

I'll rank him a solid C+. Which is pretty generous of me, if I do say so myself.

I... I'll rank him an A... cause he looks nice and like he wouldn't try to trick me. Unlike some people.

(( idk if Tumblr mobile updated or what but all my lil cute reaction images are stretched out and look like shit 😔😔😔 betrayal to the highest degree.

So if you read my posts on mobile/the app and the images are blurry AF it’s cause Tumblr resized them cause it HATES me!! ))

Hey, king.

You dropped this.

(( What amuses me the most about Dyo is he’s literally just, like, a Dude. Just one of the guys. Despite being a nightmare monster.

Dyo has grown to be a creature of mimicry. He’s still an independent person and thinker but he has grown to adapt and mimic human behavior to make himself less intimidating. I've already went over how his ability to talk is similar. Other examples are that I don’t believe he actually walks by shifting weight or balancing on his legs, I think he’s just floating around and he mimics the gestures of weight shifting and such to LOOK like he’s walking. He definitely does stand on them, but anything more complex is an illusion.

I think he does other human gestures similarly. Like when you hang out with people enough you copy things from them? I think Darkrai are naturally very still creatures and they don’t move a lot nor erratically unless battling. Very low energy. Dyo moves a LOT. He does big hand gestures when he talks and fidgets and shifts weight and things like that which are entirely habits he’s picked up from humans. This makes him less off putting to people. Ya know. Until he starts talking lol

I think when he is hunting, gets tired, and is alone he reverts back to normal Darkrai behavior. Still movements, quiet, minimal gestures.

I think he’s partially aware he does this, but isn’t aware when it’s happening. He probably will admit he dislikes that he does it, but would concede in it being beneficial. When he started being social around humans and making human friends, he genuinely didn't want to make them uneasy. So if behaving more like a human makes it easier to down a beer with the bois then so be it.))

[askdyo]

(( I was musing with friends the other night about Dyo’s skirt/tail texture and how it’s cloth-like in feel.

I then wondered if it could get ripped like clothing and if it would bleed. My friend said yeah, duh, and then provided the mental visual of his skirt and tail filled with tiny blood vessels and like

Thanks I hate it. ))

Are you a deltarune fan.

The hell is that? Some kinda ancient spell? A sports team? The fuck?

It's a video game, silly! I dunno if you'd like it, though, it requires a lot of reading.

Can you read it for me and do funny voices? I can rate you on how good they are.

Okay, but only if you do all the fights. I think you'd be pretty good at them since you have the better reflexes.

Mmmmmm yeah, okay. But if I get bored, I get to choose the next game. Hehehe~

[askdyo]

That's exactly what I mean!! Annoying bastards. I guess I should have sympathy for them, buuuuut they more often than not tend to be lil shits sooooo... I don't. Not sorry.

(( These were my favorites LOL ))

Can't a guy have a beak without being called a bird?! Palkia's sake!

Fan art for @askdyo Hope you like it ^w^ Hope Dyo does too

[askdyo]

(( Been working on other stuff so haven't been able to draw up the Ask responses I've been wanting to do, so have Dyo in some art practice of FISHT instead! ))
