Hi!!

I was a bit confused on you info about Lumians, and wanted to ask you if you have any more info on them! :D

I’m totally cool with infodumping btw!

Thanks in advance!! :>

Boy oh boy spopera lore time!

First of all credit for Lumian!Martyn to @strifesolution , who is the local Yogscast fan among us space operators that make up the au, and since lumians are a yogs aliens.

General spopera tdlr is: treebark are spaceship racers! For the space opera au I think we’ve been allowed to make things up a bit and play around with the lumian worldbuilding. Here’s what I got from the collective lore google docs for the au:

Lumians are a bipedal humanoid species that produces a bioluminescent element in their bodies called bioneos. Lumians are identifiable by bioneos freckles. In the au and out of the main characters, Martyn and False are lumians, Martyn having an almost cyan tone to his bioneos, while False has red.

The colour varies, and it can help track family lineage, despite the fact that lumians are typically a communal species with no nuclear family unit. However, some lumian families that leave their home planet may no longer have the community support, and likely adopt a family unit home style.

Lumians may have “gendered” appearances but they are a unisexual species. Societal roles in lumian culture are often decided by stature. Shorter, broader lumians often take to building, hunting, and child rearing. Taller, more slender lumians will take to taming, climbing, and navigation.

The home planet of Lumians, Corruscate, has a tropical climate. The planet is mostly covered in jungle and forests, with megaflora that cast dark shadows. To compensate for the darkness created, living species in Corruscate, as the lumians themselves, have bioneos that create the bioluminescence typical of lumians.

Since lumians are from a hot planet, they are particularly susceptible to cold and temperature drops. As a defense mechanism to save energy mentally and physically, and to be able to get themselves out of the cold, they’ve evolved “glacieration”, also known as “frost mode”

Frost mode is essentially a survival mode to keep them alive. As the temperature decreases the lumian will feel cold and uncomfortable and sick, until they suddenly seem to gather themselves and be okay; this, apart from a pale and grey complexion and dulled glow, is a sign of frost mode.

The body freezes over as it switches its priority from maintaining heat to creating adrenaline for the lumian to use to get themselves into a safe temperature. However, the modern lumian can decide to ignore the primitive urge to warm up and instead do other activities, although prolonged frost mode is lethal.

A result of the intense shot of adrenaline is erratic behaviour, like apathy or snapping or being aggressive.

(These pieces I made for treebarkweek, for example, were meant to be about frost mode happening while Ren and Martyn went to a very cold planet for a race. The assumption is that the cold discomfort happened mid-race, but Martyn refused to retire. Afterwards when Ren follows him into the lockers he finds him fully in frost mode; he can't feel the cold anymore since he's sort of icy all over now, and he's pumped full of adrenaline and suceptible to being irrational, so he'll probably pick a fight with Ren if Ren decides to chastise him about putting the race before his health)

(My guy is ice. He's producing cold clouds. Someone give him lukewarm water)

(Also it might be obvious already but frost mode was taken from the idea of having inthelittlefrost in the au somehow.)

Q: So who does the ship maintenance? F: Oh, we do. Since we built the thing, we can't really just send her off somewhere, you know? It's- It's a bit finicky but not super hard. Ren, though, seems to suffer every time we need to change the oil. R: Dude- Listen, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every single time it's freaking- oilage. All over my face. i don't know how to do it! F: Well, you're gonna have to learn, you can’t expect me to be doing it for you ten years from now, don't you? Sloy, X. (3011, January 6, Common).

Day 3: Burn/Build

[kingtheghast]

(…) A report posted by the very intergalactic conglomerate Glowstonn admitted on Friday 12 (common galactic calendar) that it was a machine malfunction that caused the shipment of Galaxy Chomp cookies to be too sweet. The company has apologised and will have to pay an estimate of over a million credits in common currency for the sale of productos not to standard. (…) Interestingly enough, consumers have reported that they prefer the sweet flavour to the more tame flavour of the original recipe. Riffs, P. (3024, April 13).

Day 2: Sweet/Salty

[kingtheghast]

"Because of their poor tolerance for low temperatures, lumians have developed glacieration, commonly known as frost mode. (...) The body freezes over as it switches its priority from mantaining heat to creating adrenaline in the hopes of the individual being able to use said energy to ensure their safety. However, prolonged streams of adrenaline like this are poisonous, and if frost mode is not disengaged it results in death." Spirit Tamer, E. (3012).

Choice 💚💛❤️ - Life Series

Happy third life anniversary, everyone! 🎉

The song used is Choice by Jack Stauber ^^

Here are some of the still images I used for the vid 🕺

About the countdown!

This time we're cutting the countdown to three days prior the event to try and respect the strike. However we'll do the full countdown on the blog title so be on the lookout so you know how many days are left before stuff kicks in.

See you then!

[kingtheghast]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS GUY

[kingtheghast]

(Reschedule! The former event dates clashed with the strike, so the event has been pushed back a week. Thank you!)

Spring has finally come!

Treebarkweek2024 "This world has missed you" prompts are here! Maybe, after a crimson red winter, we can have a soft and pink spring. As always, everything is dedicated to creating content for the Treebark ship and sharing it with others who like it too.

The event will go from April 22 to April 25, with our usual dual prompts.

Supernova mode is also back! If you can't make the full week, you can just pick the last few days, from April 26 to April 28. You'll have three prompts per day instead, and you can take on the special challenge, using one prompt only on the 18th, then two the next day, then the three for the last day.

You can do the whole week from April 22 to April 28, to only Supernova, or even use the Supernova prompts as regular prompts (one per day). You can follow the prompts or make your own, and create whatever you'd like- canon, canon-divergent, AUs, anything!

Use the event tags #treebarkweek and#treebarkweek2024 so we can find your post and reblog it for others to see! You can tag us as well to make sure we see your post.

We'll post reminders as the date gets closer. See you then! We can't wait to see what spring brings.

Under the ribs, up. I do apologise because the sheet on my profile is very old and is not clear about that 🥲

Ren wanted to be in a sci fi film, guess none mentioned to him that sci fi horror was also a genre.

kudos once again to @kingtheghast cause now I have the perfect space sit to put ren in for these scenes XD
