Does Molly have rabies, a definitive answer.

Common signs and symptoms of rabies include:

general anxiety

confusion and agitation

severe hydrophobia

Headaches

Some causes may include;

Animal bites or scratched

contact with animal saliva or brain tissue in the eyes, nose, and mouth.

People who are more likely to get rabies:

people who are outdoors often

people who spend a lot of time with wild animals

hikers, campers, etc.

Conclusion: There is a small chance Molly has Rabies, however there is for some reason a higher chance that Mal has rabies. this may be due to Molly being better at animal handling, if you have read the short comic 'somewhere that's green', you can see pretty clearly that Mal holds the cat-cti poorly, like a football in some instances. Also, it is heavily implied Mal is from a city of some sort, or at least a small town that's city like, so while hanging out behind a gas station or beneath a bridge, she might have come in contact with a stray dog or two. Of course this all is highly improbable because Mal would be dead a whole lot sooner as well as exhibiting much more severe and a higher extensive of symptoms.

I feel like Molly should have gotten into a fist fight.

That's all. Just kinda feel like she needs it.

day 3 gt oc challenge

it has been 55 minutes since my last post, does this actually count as 'day 3'

Anywayyys the prompt today is

asleep/passed out

Yay, perfect. Aj finally gets to sleep for the first time in their life, round of applause everyone.....thank you.

Now behold; the eepy

and on top of that, the first and probably last time ever where we see Aj in a casual (presumably) blank tee. they don't even have anything in front of them, they aren't really dressed and they seem to not be bothered by anything, so I raise the question....Did they plan to fall asleep there, did they look at that desk and be like 'damn, that looks mighty comfy' Boy, are your standards that low. idk, I bet you could show them the worlds comfiest best and they'd choose to sleep on the wooden floor. someone give them a blanket and a bird plushie, please. like they don't even have their mutation as an excuse lmao 'oh its fine, robins only need two hours a sleep anyways, haha' nope, bitch they need twelve Aj's just a mix between an insomniac and an aggressive researcher. 'yes I know its three am, but did you know that whale's milk is about the consistency of cottage cheese?'

God, someone get their brother, he'll make sure they sleep if it means supervising them all night long for three weeks straight.

[murdercat350]

day 2 gt oc challange

I am aware it has not been more than 12 hours, I don't care 'day 2' 'prompt 2', same thing.

Prompt 2 was hero outfit/working attire, I have already drawn Aj's 'hero' suit, and fun fact...Aj is like, not even eighteen... girly is not old enough to have graduated 'if they had standard education and were a standard student' So like... I was going to make the work at a bookstore or something like that, but uh...Starbucks... because. I don't think they'd actually work at starbucks as their day job once they got older but you are not putting a high school aged student to work as idk, an Aves biologist or a botany specialist, in any way shape or form someone who has a degree in ecology. So for now they are condemned to having to make frappuccinos and deal with the most annoying people on the planet until they are at the very least over twenty one. [once you turn twenty one you can do so much more things, drink alcohol, buy cigarettes and vapes, become a bird scientist, and so much more! become twenty one today for just---] (sorry)

[disclaimer; the anatomy is not on my side, this was supposed to take thirty minutes but it took two hours just because of all the mistakes I had to fix, and I still don't like it very much.]

Here they are in all of their Starbucks glory. what are they doing, hell if I know! irl the eraser lines are sooo much worse, and they still show up clear as day here. It almost doesn't even feel like Aj besides the obvious indicators like the name tag and the scar placements on their face.

I also made a side profile for their 'hero' suit

The scar did indeed transfer over to their beak (sad days) but its fine. I tried to match a robins beak but I was a little off at the end there.

They look so evil and stuff here you would never be able to tell that this is actually the number one biggest dork.

Also, I think I forgot to mention last time but their code name is 'redbird' which sounds great and all, right? Aj has so many problems with it, 'I'll be confused for a cardinal- my outfit isn't even red- robins breasts are more of an orange tone- my hair isn't what should determine the adjective in my name-' The thing is they only called them redbird because that was the first most notable side effect of their implant, their hand transferring from brown to red. they basically just thought it was cute lmao and Aj's out here like 'might as well call me seagull' this is only half because of nerdy reasons and half because they were reallllyy shooting for robinhood. I bet upon meeting amaya for the first time they prolly said some shit like 'she's even more of a red bird then me, but no, its me who gets the stupidly assigned name.' its also like, since they were enlisted to the facility so young they didn't get to choose their name and were eternally jealous of older new recruits who they trusted enough to let them pick.

[murdercat350]

Yes I am obsessed, so are you.

So, I know that I am so so very late to this, but who cares. I'ma do the oc challenge because I can, and I feel like it. I might not follow it on a daily basis though and just push them out whenever I want, that's actually most likely to happen so yay. anyways the first prompt is

civilian outfit

cool

Please ignore the mushroom, I was bored.

[Feet are for the uncreative]

In this particular image, I like to think of them being outside and getting up from resting- probably dreaming about fungi or something. or like they just got knocked down by someone and are confused, your pick.

they like to stylize over-shirts and jackets a lot by cropping then or tucking them into a belt. so many useless belts that are only for flannel, they probably wanted to be owned by pretty ladies or fashionistas, but instead they got this loser nerd.

btw yes I am aware they have a tie on, but technically it was an accident because I was gonna draw a bow-tie but I just kinda blacked out halfway through drawing and that's that. But to me in my brain, they canonically hate ties because 'ties are for people who want to hang themselves'... which is... aggressive, but (I forgot to mention this before) they are a recovering suicidal because I am too and I used to say that which I now realize was probably very worrying... But uh, they are doing better now, they still have a truck load of shitty coping mechanisms and need therapy like oxygen, but they're off to a decent start...away from ties. (Gonna show my therapist this paragraph as a fun little 'look what I made' thing and she's gonna be like wtf.)

Aj is a smart kiddo, not like Romeo smart, god forbid, but they know a few things, for example, they like to think they know how to dress nicely...And they do- just the thing is that 'style' is mimicking a private investigator from the forties. While there is nothing wrong with that, and it doesn't really affect their life at all, it is just a giant nerd warning.

it is also kind of easy to tell what their mutation is since they dress like sparrow, of course Aj would correct this saying they are a Robin then stating that robins are part of the flycatcher family while sparrows are part of the old world sparrow family and are not closely related to each other despite both being common garden birds. but although they refuse to admit, sparrows are in their top three favorite birds, and they were hoping to get sparrow genes instead of robin ones and use clothing choice as a way to express this.

what sad earth tone colours are on their flannel, find out next week on 'I don't own coloured pencils" it probably is autumny and stuff, reddish browns, brownish reds, brown, more brown, etc. Fun fact, they enjoy knitting and crochet (their thumbs do not.) and made those patches themself. [leave them be, they're a beginner]

They look a bit like a professor or teacher which is unfortunate because if they were, kids would bully the living hell out of them lmao.

Surprisingly, they are smiling. How nice, they won't be for long.

they totally keep like a million things in their bag, books, sketchbooks, science books, a magpie- wait what. As I have stated before, they love more inventory space so I gave them a big ol messenger bag as a treat. I actually stole this outfit from Pinterest if you couldn't tell (minus the bag, that was all my idea) and now I'm worried because if they somehow got access to pinterest no earth tone based aethstetic is safe.

Gunntech Au oc, because why the hell not. Credit to @elmushterri for this fantastic concept

This is my child, their name is AJ.

genderfluid (they/them, he/him/she/her) Bi and ace

They are Latinx and have a mom an older stepbrother (Brutas/bru) as well as his stepfather. (nuclear family but literally) their father though was the one to have enlisted him into the organization before he left (because of course) their brother is also at gunntech but they are in different divisions. Aj's mom is very kind and supportive and actively trying to take Aj and bru out of the program so they can have a normal childhood, Gunn didn't like that very much and cut the kids contact with her while they were teens.

[fun fact, Aj used to have copper brown hair but now it's more of a burnt red colour due to their mutation, which is kind of strange, some must have mixed some red capped robin genes by accident, or the genes mistaked the hair for non flight feather, because robins heads are typically black.]

'Aj' (Alexi. Johnson Rivera) is a Robin mutant and a semi successful experiment. At first it seemed the Robin genes were working perfectly but then a few difficulties happened,

one of which was the fact that Aj had wings, they looked completely fine, but something in them had accidently malfunctioned. It was basically like having a paralyzed limb, but extra painful. The scientists at gunntech decided to fix this by enhancing the wings with metal rods stabilizing them and activating the nervous system with electricity. They function okay for medium periods of time now, and researchers are constantly grabbing Aj for either studying or improving- it was annoying but after a few years the meetings became less frequent.

The other massively abnormal thing to occur was Ajs huge beak (well it wasnt that huge, that's relative- for them it was proportionate but compared to most small birds, specifically robins, this was humongous.) It was mostly that it was horrifying watching them activate their powers because the skin on their face literally stretches until it breaks, causing a light and thin layer of blood to fall. And their skin cells just adapted, when going back to human mode they can now heal their skin back to normal almost instantly, this might have been a modification made by the scientists to be more efficient but Aj liked to think that they were just really sick. this also happened with their wings but to a far less intense degree.

Aj themself was...interesting, to say the least. One of their favorite activities was studying birds, hell they even like birds before they were mutated. Its a fine line between an obsession and just a really intense hyperfixation. And they love botany to Venus and back, as well as other various forms of biology. Aj is Autistic, they were diagnosed when they were ten, and that's all there really is to it.

Aj has a fun little quirk call being selectively nonverbal, sometimes when they are stressed, tired, confused or just for no identifiable reason at all, they are physically unable to verbally communicate. To them it isn't really much of a problem since they are fluent in sign language and i t just kinda is a part of them. To others though, sometimes this may be annoying, specifically because when they activate their retrovirus, they can't talk- of course there are several solutions to this, one being of course sign language and the other that they have a compact radio box communicator, they can hook it up to themself (pro of being a genetically modified lab rat in the worlds richest pile of shit) and basically all they have to do is think of what they want to say, and it says it, with varying degrees of success. Although it completely powers down if anything negative about gunntech is aimed for communication.

Now here's a bit of trauma for you, Aj had a situation kind of similar to Romeo/Conner (I completely forgot they existed while creating this part, so bare with me) another mutant at the facility name Robert Wilson (Bob) seemed to have taken a slight interest in Aj, they called him 'The Butterfly Man'. He and Aj had sparring classes together on some days, and he always held this calm, collected demeanor no matter what. Even though his retrovirus animal counterpart was incredibly weak, he still managed to achieve a relatively high ranking in teams, higher than Aj at least. Maybe it was because he was a nearly perfect experiment, with a few unexpected beneficial side effects, or because he was amazingly intelligent and persuasive... Something about his general athleticness? He never told Aj how he got into the good graces of Gunn. Eventually, Bob started making these grand gestures towards Aj, gifting them an organized bouquet of flowers, complementing just about everything they did, writing poems frequently- all that jazz until he finally asked them to be his romantic partner, to which they accepted vigorously.

At first everything was going amazing, then not so much. There was one point where Bob convinced Gunn to have Aj on his team for a mission, Aj was ecstatic, but confused. On that mission it got dark, and Bob grabbed their wrist and dragged them somewhere. AJ was tired, and didn't really think much of it. Eventually they stood in an empty abandoned skate park. Bob glared at them, Aj didn't speak. Bob started lashing out in front of them, yelling and staring. Aj mostly blocked it out but what they could remember was snippets of "Why are you acting like this?!"...."Really, after all I've done for you?"..."I've broke my back giving you everything, and this is how you retaliate!"..."I don't know why I even bother trying, it's obvious you don't appreciate me as much as I do you." He seemed so angry, but Aj didn't know what they did wrong, they kept wanting to ask, but radio silence. It ended with Bob striking Aj's neck, before repeatedly apologizing "I'm sorry, I love you. you love me too, right?" It was all hazy after that.

Bob still showed grand gestures of affection, but less often and less elaborate now, Aj was convinced that it was their fault for making him so distant. Every now and then Bob convinced Aj to do something by telling them "It's fine, you have to make it up to me anyways for how you've been lately." eventually Bob started growing cold, and somewhat aggressive, arguments became more common and Aj felt like shit. Finally, a calamity argument occurred, Aj didn't like to think about it, but their scars remember. Bob had something, hard to tell what, he was mad, he wasn't calm or collected anymore. It might have been a pocket knife or a ragged piece of glass, but he broke their nose with it, leaving a river of blood flowing down on the bridge of it. it had also left a smaller cut on the side of their jaw.

Anyways, off the topic of ex-boyfriends, were you aware that they completely stole the dark academia aethstetic and forcefully fused it with cottage core, they basically dress like Spencer Reid now and if they knew who that was, they'd steal his entire personality as well. Actually, they kind of accidently already did but instead of knowledge of crime being thrown at you, its the most absurd and out of pocket animal facts you ever do not want to have heard. She proudly considers herself a nerd, and has eight sketchbooks full of bird anatomy (And she's gotten quite good, to be fair...)

Also, she has full trust in Gunn because she actually has no idea how humans are supposed to be treated, and was never taught what boundaries are. It's not that she wasn't abused like the rest of the kids, she just has no idea that's a bad thing, she has been brainwashed into thinking this is absolutely normal and that she's being an uncooperative brat when she gets stressed, scared, and miserable during training. 'Trauma, no that's just me being the problem, ya know, a nuisance misbehaving kid' so when she's on missions to re-recruit kids into the facility, she is just so obliviously kind, like "I dunno why you left, but like can you come back plzzz :]" She trusts everyone and no one at the same time and its hella confusing for her and everyone around her. It doesn't help that her older brother is on the B-team and is captain of it, I might dedicate a post to him but idk yet, he's so sweet I love him, but he ain't the titular character rn.

Also I suppose I should take this time to describe their 'hero' outfit and put in the rest of the drawings.

this is one of their casual outfits, they are surprisingly versed in nerd fashion tbh, look at that cute punchable little face, btw they are seventeen very nearly eighteen and 173.7cm or 5.7 in freedom units. they almost exclusively wear earth tones with the exception of burnt or faded reds because it goes with their hair. the have greenish hazel eyes and somewhat deep morero skin.

this here is their 'hero' outfit, supersuit, whatever ya wanna call it. yes they are aware of their beak leave them be. the right hand (the one to the left) did not come out great, leave me be. yes they have a cropped bomber jacket, its cool. under that they of course have the skin tight material around their implant which has all sorts of tiny devices and stuff like that in it, as well as the connection to their wings- Though they were told they were allowed to request layering as much as they like so hence the jacket and that cargo pants...and the belt, and the pocket attached to the hanging strap of the belt, and the strap on their torso that I haven't decided the use of yet...they really like potential storage space...and bulky clothing (but like..comfy style) their radio communicator is in that little pocket on the front of their waist. The jacket is brown leather and the skin tight suit is bronze-ish with gold glowing activation lines center based on their implant. the shoulder pad thingy design is charcoal gray as well as the hood (just a darker tone). the belt is dark brown and the pants are black.

Fun fact that they will tell you immediately upon meeting, they have three eyelid sets, one of which is clear and moves horizontally so during flight they can see without having to worry about debris or drying out, one set that is a lower set and its upper counterpart set. Also since their eyes are black they have the benefits of enhanced ability to see in low light conditions, it also improves their ability to spot predators ('villains') over a wider field of vision and orientation and navigation... While technically not directly related to their vision, some of the scientists at gunntech suggest that some proteins in their eyes may play a role in their ability to navigate using earth's magnetic field, which they don't really know what that means but sure.

this is a drawing of a Robin, it doesn't matter if you think of it being drawn by me or by Aj, we both love drawing birds but its just reference for what they like...are. Legs are a little bit big in proportion but shh.

Here they are accidentally stealing Leo valdez's look, I swear this was not intentional but what the hell its funny. I spent three whole minutes on this, plz appreciate it, lmao.

really rushed and badly drawn bby Aj in their gunntech issued outfit. I personally think it looks like shit, but that might just be because I spent half an hour trying to make the knees look decent and now have prejudice. They read robinhood as a kid thinking it was gonna be about birds, it wasn't but they liked it anyway.

[credit to @tea-cuz-why-not for their character Kore, they are super cool and talented please check them out if you haven't already binged through all their artwork]

Aj would admire any other bird people they find and info dump about birds whether wanted or not, they have probably been punched due to this at least once, they're just an annoying little goober. I drew this in five seconds and did not do either character justice so go look at tea's art I swear it looks so much better than the amalgamation I created.

emo shit, ignore it.

Sorry for the excruciatingly long post, I had hyper fixated on this so hard that I was drawing till 1:30 in the morning and had to go to sleep before I could finish the post. I'm gonna be so burnt out later lmao.

April: We are going to climb the death mountain.

Jo: we are going to climb the death mountain.

Ripley: we are going to climb the death mountain.

Molly: Welp, looks like we are going to climb the death mountain.

Mal: Aw, shucks.

So like, I've recently been re-reading Lumberjanes for the thousandth time- and I realized how similar Abigail and Molly's mother look sometimes. Like, did she notice? I feel like if they had met in person one on one closer to the beginning it'd go something like this. Molly, walking though the woods or something, idk: wha- Who, Mom! Is that you?

Abigail: I don't think there is *any* possible way that you are my child.

Molly: Damn you even sound like her!
