(Random world-building ask)

Can we get an official update on scent marks? (I.e "why" monsters do it, who they'll do it too, how they leave it / how long it will linger, etc)

Sure! But I doubt any of the info will be any different

Ok so monsters have incredible senses of smell, maybe not as good as a dogs, but definitely far beyond a humans. Scent can be an important form of communication when they aren’t around.

Monsters can tell with scent if two individuals are related (immediately family only, so parents and siblings), if someone is sick or if someone is a child or adult

Scent can also be left on another to lay a claim. Monsters can leave their own scent on a loved one by rubbing their chin/cheek or the back of their hands (if they have any) on their person. Any other monsters smelling it will receive the message that that person is protected by the monster who marked them.

Scent marks are used for a variety of reasons, to tell others that someone is taken romantically, to claim familial ties to an adopted child, or to simply just say a person is under their protection. Unfortunately you can’t really read the distinction between the three so based on the marked person, the monsters usually just make a guess lol.

Monsters of all AUs do this, but it’s a more common practice with aus that were mixed with humans for some reason.

if vamp chan were to loose a limb would it grow back?? is the only way for vamp chan by sunlight?

Yes, her body resets to what I guess could be called a specific "time" where her body stays mostly the same as it was when she became a vampire. She can regrow limbs and body parts, but she can't gain muscle mass or any extra mass in general.

Things like hair and nails will still grow out because they are dead. If she were to get scalped, she'd be bald when the scalp grows back, and have to wait for the hair to grow out again.

Technically if she wanted, she could cut her legs off instead of shaving them, but I think it's less energy to shave them. Growing back body parts takes a lot out of her, and she'd have to drink blood more often the more her body has to correct damage. You can kill her by sunlight. That's probably the easiest method. But you can also kill her by doing enough damage that she can't reset her body and there's not enough life force left in her to keep herself alive.

the monster-fication of perfectly normal animals

a topic that's just on my mind sometimes.

We've all seen fantasy stories that do this (scifi too, honestly). Wolves that are just relentless hunters, seeming to pursue the protagonists for absolutely no reason except to be scary predators, even needlessly risking their own lives just to recklessly keep attacking people. Snakes that leap into furious action the moment anyone happens to come near them, or even actively tracking people down just to bite and leave, only caring about creating a fatal injury. Poison and venom being used as interchangeable terms and even being given unusually strong acidic properties with no other indication that these were supposed to be fantastical snakes of any sort. Bats and birds of prey and so many other animals also get similar treatment. If it's "scary", it gets the monster treatment.

I hate this trope.

It relies on common misconceptions about real life animals and how they behave. It also feels lazy; if you want some kind of scary relentless monster creature, just create one! you're writing a fictional story in a fictional world, why not just make a new monster? Or find some other way to increase the stakes and give some tension to the story?

Wild animals do attack people occasionally, this is true. But they're not relentless about it, and they'll usually be more cautious and strategic when they're hunting for food. Most wild animals will only attack humans if they're provoked into it. They are dangerous, but they're not evil monsters.

Snakes get the worst of it, in my opinion. No snake is out there hunting people down just to dramatically bite them. Their venom is not horribly acidic. They're usually just chilling and want to be left alone. They can't eat people, so why would they hunt anyone? Stop the snake slander!

And please, please research how real animals behave. Get creative and make actual fantasy monsters if you really need some sort of relentless predator. Maybe have a little fun making fantasy animals or alien creatures that are totally mundane in their own world and have believable behaviors and interact with their environment and food chains like real animals.

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

DOMESTICATED/TAMED POULTRY IN THE WARDI SPHERE

Left to right: Tanne pheasants (hen and cock), kukuriku cuyba rooster, ibis (pink coastal population), and ansiba bwe duck.

---

Tanne pheasants are the only animals that were domesticated within this region (barring some tame captive-bred species that could be Debated as domesticated), though they have largely been displaced by the hardier, faster-growing and prolifically laying chickens within the Wardi sphere. The etymology of tanne is uncertain, being a probable adaptation of the Chenahyeigi 'tarrne' for the same species (which is mildly difficult to pronounce in Wardi; a trilled r followed by a consonant is awkward), which itself is probably an adaptation of a now lost word in a proto-Wardi language.

They are kept at higher frequencies in highland conditions, as they are more cold tolerant than the chickens (and the highest densities of wild tanne are located here, where they have fewer competitors and predators). Their cold tolerance does give them unique value in the lowlands, as they tend to bear rare but devastating tlat piladne winters (unusually cold + snowy winters causing mass livestock deaths, or singular cold snaps + blizzards with similar effects) substantially better than chickens or ducks.

Cocks are white with red bare skin, a fringe around their face, and iridescent black tail feathers. Other less common color morphs are white with black spots + iridescent black wings, and some populations are all black. Hens are better camouflaged with speckled brown bodies, with color morphs ranging from a light tan color to a deep red-brown, or occasionally black.

It is difficult to distinguish domestic and wild male tanne (except for rarer color morphs), as they tend to be identical save for the tail trains of wild tanne being much longer on average. Hens are much more distinct, as their color is more variable and most of the domesticated stock have red faces like the males (while wild hens usually have gray faces).

The males are regarded as notably beautiful and are sometimes kept as purely ornamental birds (their territorial calls are also generally considered quite lovely, being a melodic warbling hoot). Their iridescent tail feathers are used for ornamentation and dancing shoes. They are also sometimes used in cockfighting, though their duels are usually briefer, less deadly, and less physically impressive than those of roosters.

The kuriku cuyba is the landrace chicken type common in Wardi lands. Kuriku is the word for 'chicken' and derived from onomatopoeia (the rooster says "ku-ku-ku-ri-ku!"), cuyba refers to the black tail.

They are fairly small with a tall stature and muscular legs. Cocks have a large comb, thick curved spurs, and trailing tail feathers. Hens have similar builds with reduced combs and shorter tails. This landrace comes in two main color morphs- a tan-brown type shown here, and a similarly patterned white variant. All are characterized by a black lower back and tail.

They are the most common form of poultry here, being hardy, adaptable to a wide variety of environmental conditions, and capable of mostly fending for themselves. They are used for both meat and eggs but show greater selection for egg production, being relatively prolific layers for a landrace type. Hens are kept to be continuous sources of food via their eggs, and are infrequently slaughtered. A hen is a standard gift from a prospective groom to a woman's family to formally initiate courtship (though female ducks/pheasants are sometimes used instead), being of near-ubiquitous value- they can be raised basically anywhere, will continually provide eggs, and can just be eaten if you don't really need a live chicken around. This is a first indication that the groom has adequate resources to be a good potential husband (if you can give away even cheap livestock as a mere show of interest without any guarantee of a return on your investment, it demonstrates you warrant serious marriage negotiations), though is purely ceremonial for wealthier families in which a gift of a chicken isn't even slightly a big deal.

The roosters aren't usually actively selected for aggression, but are notably aggro all the same and are known to pick fights with animals larger than themselves, making them Okayish guardians against small, ground-based threats, and also liable to be kicked to death when they decide to face up against a khait. This also makes them notably valuable for cockfighting. This is a common spectator sport and opportunity for gambling, and has at least slightly ceremonial functions in some summer holidays, especially the solstice and various harvest festivals. Roosters that aren't intended for breeding and/or fighting will usually be castrated and subsequently eaten once they reach full weight. The majority of chicken in the Wardi diet comes from these capons, in part because they are more disposable than good cockerels or valuable egg-laying hens and in part because their meat is regarded as the all-around best.

Ibis are not domesticated, but they are markedly easy to tame and can be kept captive or otherwise easily harvested for meat and eggs. This species is naturally all-white with black wing tips, but those with diets rich in crustaceans (primarily coastal populations) develop a distinctive pink hue. Populations occurring deeper inland along rivers have few carotenoid sources in their diets and are usually white. There are typically cultural distinctions made between pink and white ibis, though the two are the same species. (Irl there would be argument over whether they should be classed as separate subspecies, as pink and white populations have some genetic distinction and hue has Some impact on mate selection among the pink ibis, though mate fitness mostly seems to be determined by other means.) (This species is almost exclusively found along coasts + very pink in the rest of its range, and the development of white inland ibis is likely a result of them expanding into habitats held by a now regionally extinct river specialist ibis).

They accommodate very well to urban settings, where they feed on refuse and are considered somewhat of a pest via shitting on everything. Some flocks remain in sufficiently large towns and cities year-round. Coastal ibis breed on shorelines, salt marshes, and estuaries in the spring. Many migrate short distances in the dry summer and autumn- some flocks move into cities to feed on refuse, some take advantage of prey availability in drying rivers (with lower water levels making prey more accessible), but most remain in close proximity to the coasts (particularly in areas with large salt marshes). Inland ibis cluster around seasonal wetlands and shallow waterways for breeding in the spring, and similarly disperse elsewhere in the summer to take advantage of drying waterways. Inland ibis populations more commonly migrate to/form fixed populations in towns and cities than coastal ibis do, so city ibis tend to be white.

There are a few different strategies for rearing tame ibis. Some flocks who maintain a consistent roost are merely accommodated to human presence so that they can easily be harvested for meat and eggs, and are often compelled to stick around by regular feedings of food waste. Some wild chicks are captured and their wings are clipped, where they will be subsequently raised along with ducks (as they can generally thrive in the same places ideal for duck husbandry without competing for food). They can be raised very effectively in rice paddies, though areas suitable for rice farming are limited. They almost never breed if their wings are clipped to the point of complete inability to fly (they will only build nests in trees), and getting them to breed/nest is still a crapshoot even if they're clipped in ways allowing for short flight. Fully captive flocks usually have to be replenished by the capture of wild birds, rendering their care a costly investment for little reward compared to just hunting wild ibis.

There is a strong cultural preference for eating pink ibis in the Wardi sphere, in large part due to the annoying, garbage-eating urban pests being mostly white. There's some pragmatic elements to this, as pink ibis do tend to be more palatable than white ones (as their coloration is the result of a crustacean-based diet, making their meat sweeter and milder than their often Strongly fishy white counterparts).

The ansiba bwe duck is a landrace that developed in contemporary Erubinnos, probably the oldest poultry breed here, and the most common domestic duck type in the region. The name just means 'good duck', and is sometimes just used as a descriptor for domestic ducks in general rather than this specific type. They stem from one of three separate domestication events of ducks in this setting (none of which are mallards, for fun). The ancestors of the ansiba bwe were domesticated fairly close by in the wet subtropical Lowlands region east of the Blackmane mountains.

The landrace here has three common color morphs- one that is tan-brown (shown here), one that is a rich red-brown, and one that is white. Drakes almost always have an iridescent black head with a white neck ring, hens are usually uniform in color. The small crest on the head is present regardless of sex.

They are the most valued for meat of any captive poultry here, producing a large carcass with good fat content, especially rich if finished on grain-based feed. They do not lay eggs as anywhere near as prolifically as the chickens, though still produce enough to be valuable as a continuous food source. They also sustain themselves very readily if granted access to water, and need little supplementation to their diet outside of the winter.

Their range in captivity is limited due to their reliance on water sources- they Can potentially forage enough to sustain themselves without access to a permanent body of water, but can't be bred at any useful scale this way. They are also reliant on fleeing to water to escape land-based predators, being both slow walkers and somewhat poor fliers (they will typically only fly short distances). As such, they're mainly kept in villages alongside permanent bodies of water or manmade reservoirs. As with Ducks In General, they can be reared very effectively in rice paddies, and as such have the largest populations in Erubinnos (with its substantial permanent wetlands and singularly high density of rice farming).

Whenever I hear someone had a chill weekend, I feel happy for them that they got rest and recovery time! 💛 I know some people are afraid of sounding uninteresting, but we're not meant to be interesting all of the time! Doing nothing is great.

She offers sweetness. ...in at least two ways.

[serenetestamentllama]

I call this piece “Toriel Uses Fire Magic Indoors Without Opening a Window and Gets Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Fucking Dies”. Once a year I challenge myself to make the most elaborate Undertale/Deltarune fanart I can muster in order to test my mettle as an illustrator and also to punish myself for choosing to go to college to learn 3D modeling when my heart has always been with 2D art. This is my third year in a row doing this. I also just really love Undertale. It’s an incredible game and at the risk of sounding dramatic I can’t even begin to quantify the effect this game has had on my life. Stay ✨DETERMINED ✨I guess I can go back to making shitpost art now. Commissions open also. Preferably furry commissions because those are the most fun. Deltarune tomorrow.
