My second spec evo is a predatory chameleon chasing down and catching pterosaurs Species name- Messorem Chamelonitis (Reapers Chameleon) Creator- Titan Diet- carnivorous Clade- Chamaeleontiformes Habitat- Tropical Rainforest and Carbonate Platform Height- 1m Length-1.4m Ecology- Fast ambush hunter/fisher

Additional info- The Reapers Chameleon is a stead fast ambushhunter being able to climb and run down any prey its jaws around. This reptile will mostly target small fish and pterosaur,using an ambush to catch its meal. They are normally solo until till mating season in which they will group together, fully grown males will hissand grown while the smack each other withtheir hard muscular tails, leaving gashes and cuts over the body or even dismemment of toes,fingers or tail. They also posses a large barded finger which it gets its name sakewhich it uses to stab its prey.

Brooms written by Jasmine Walls, art by Teo DuVall. Levine Querido, 2023. 9781646142682. 248pp. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781646142682?partnerid=34778&p_bt

1930s, Mississippi. Luella is teaching Emma and Mattie how to use their magic, but they live in fear of being discovered by government agents. If they're caught, they'll be sent to one of the approved magic academies. Though if they have enough money, they can buy an exemption that will allow them to learn their culture's (Chocktaw) type of magic.

To make the money they need they enter the dangerous world of illegal backwoods broom racing. Luella's friends, The Night Storms -- Billie Mae, Loretta, and Cheng Kwan -- agree to train the girls and let them join their team. Magic is illegal for black folks there, and if they're caught using it they'll be stripped of their powers. If they can enter the biggest race around, the Witch's Cackle, they can earn enough money to move to where things are different.

I can't think of another alternate history graphic novel I liked as much as this one. There's a real sense of joy throughout, and the story is naturally inclusive.

And if you haven't read Walls' The Last Session, a graphic novel about a group of friends finishing a long-running D&D campaign before some go their separate ways, it's also wonderful.

The Phyto-Hallucigenia: An Eternal Cambrian Speculation

Imagine an Earth where the Cambrian period never truly ended, but simply kept evolving with its foundational life forms. Our beloved Hallucigenia, that spiny, enigmatic creature, takes a wild turn.

Around 450 million years ago in this alternate timeline, a symbiotic relationship began to bloom. Certain Hallucigenia lineages, adapting to coastal environments, started forming a profound bond with primitive, multi-cellular terrestrial algae. Fast forward to 400 million years ago, and behold the "Phyto-Hallucigenia"! Their iconic dorsal spines have transformed into elaborate, photosynthetic structures, almost like alien fronds or anemone-like flowers, fully integrating the algae. Their ventral tentacles became root-like anchors, allowing them to slowly burrow and draw nutrients from the damp, ancient algal forests.

This wasn't just a quirky adaptation; it was a game-changer. These plant-animal hybrids became crucial components of their ecosystem, thriving on sunlight and water, moving deliberately through a perpetually strange, vibrant Cambrian landscape. What a fascinating path for evolution when the building blocks are forever alien and familiar all at once!

タイトル：植物ハルキゲニア：永遠のカンブリア紀の思弁

カンブリア紀が真に終わることなく、その基盤となる生命体と共に進化し続けた地球を想像してみてください。私たちの愛すべき、棘のある謎めいた生き物であるハルキゲニアが、驚くべき方向へと進化した物語です。

この別の時間軸では、約4億5千万年前に共生関係が芽生え始めました。沿岸環境に適応した特定のハルキゲニアの系統が、原始的な多細胞陸生藻類との深いつながりを形成し始めたのです。そして4億年前、ついに「植物ハルキゲニア」が誕生しました！彼らの象徴的な背中の棘は、まるで異星の葉やイソギンチャクのような花のように、精巧な光合成構造へと変化し、藻類を完全に統合しました。腹側の触手は根のようなアンカーとなり、湿った太古の藻類の森の中をゆっくりと burrowing して栄養を吸収できるようになりました。

これは単なる奇妙な適応ではありませんでした。それは生態系を大きく変えるものでした。これらの植物と動物のハイブリッドは、日光と水で繁栄し、永遠に奇妙で活気に満ちたカンブリアの風景の中をゆっくりと移動しながら、生態系の重要な構成要素となったのです。構成要素が永遠に異質でありながらもどこか馴染み深いとき、進化がいかに魅力的な道をたどるかを示しています！

Watakon Season 2 has arrived...

[joemylett02]

Novel Announcement: Panzerfahren Chronicles!

So, here I am putting this out into the big, wide, world. This project has been my baby for the past ten years of my life.

No seriously, Ten. Whole. Years.

Its took a lot of world building, character development, and overall just learning how to write in general. Even a wiki page, and 'Official' Soundtrack which i've linked below.

As it stands, i’m 3 chapters in with 12,000~ words. As projected, there's 65 Chapters, and about 250,000~ words. About the same length as Order of the Phoenix.

To quote everyone's favourite zombie-killing lesbian: that’s a big boi!

Over the year's there has been a whole boatload of influences, The Hunger Games, Fury, and a smattering of multiple other films, novels and games.

Most recent of which being the Life is Strange series, from DontNod and SquareEnix. Never has a game, its themes, its characters, and the ending (Bae ending all the way, made me a diehard Pricefield'er for life) resonated me in such a way before, and i'm forever grateful that I decided to check it out.

These are a handful of my favourite Chapter Headers that i've been working on over the past few days.

Summary:

The students of Fender Valley High School are your average Mercian teenagers… couple drama, teacher gossip, exams-… and a tank division?

When tragedy strikes and his best friend is killed in a brutal accident, James Byrne is thrust forward to fill the hollow shoes he left behind. As James and the Panzerfahren team creep toward the British Finals, unwanted attention seeps through the cracks. Words left unsaid, worlds shattered to dust, a spitfire pilot with James in her crosshairs, and a shadowy organisation with powerful allies - fully prepared to tear the whole thing down, and everyone with it…

Sensei Simon Rodriguez.

A contest I was participating in ended relatively recently, I came third, this was the drawing I made.

The theme was to make a historical character from my country (Venezuela) but with an "urban samurai" theme. This is my version of Simon Rodriguez, the teacher of the liberator, Simon Bolivar. Anyway, I hope you like it.

P.S., I have open commissions and stuff like that, don't hesitate to contact me, we can surely reach an agreement, I do everything (and what I can't, I learn quickly)

Introduction: The Hidden Science of Sound and Time

The leaked Time Loop Frequency Experiment document reveals what some of us have long suspected—sound is not just vibration, but a vehicle for manipulating time itself. The scientific community dismisses such claims, yet historical esoteric traditions and modern quantum theory converge on the idea that frequency affects reality. This document provides evidence that the manipulation of specific sound wave patterns can distort temporal perception, raising disturbing questions about who controls time and how music is used as a tool of power.

Key Findings: The Frequencies of Disruption

🔹 Schumann Resonance and Temporal Perception The document identifies a resonance range between 7.83Hz - 14.1Hz—frequencies that align with the Earth's own electromagnetic field. These are not arbitrary numbers; they match the Schumann Resonance, which has been studied for its role in synchronizing biological rhythms. When altered, this frequency can create states of cognitive dissonance, confusion, or even perception of time loss.

🔹 Effects on Human Cognition Test subjects reported:

48-hour memory dislocation (precognition or postcognition?)

Temporal "drifting" (parallel timelines or alternate realities?)

Complete retrograde memory reset (neurological interference or external intervention?)

These effects suggest that exposure to certain frequencies can disconnect individuals from the linear flow of time, perhaps creating a perception shift akin to déjà vu, time loops, or even temporal anomalies.

🔹 Gamma Wave Anomalies: The Neural Rewiring of Reality? The experiment revealed an increase in gamma wave activity in 87% of subjects—this is crucial. Gamma waves are associated with heightened states of consciousness, transcendental experiences, and deep cognitive processing. If a sound frequency can artificially induce gamma activity, it may be possible to hack the brain’s perception of time, creating a manufactured reality loop.

Iron Maiden’s Connection: A Sonic Key to Temporal Manipulation?

The inclusion of Iron Maiden's album in this experiment is not accidental. The band has long played with themes of fate, time, and multidimensionality. Their music is filled with subliminal messages, hidden frequencies, and rhythmic structures that echo ancient knowledge. If the album Somewhere in Time was deliberately engineered with temporal waveforms, it could be more than music—it could be a coded transmission, a key to unlocking human perception beyond linear time.

Implications: Who is Using This Technology?

If this experiment proves temporal manipulation through sound, then we must ask: who else is using this technology?

Governments? (MK-Ultra-like sound warfare?)

Secret societies? (Esoteric sound-based rituals?)

Corporate entities? (Music industry as a tool for cognitive control?)

The ability to alter human perception of time means controlling history, memory, and the very fabric of reality. It suggests that those who master sound may shape the future itself.

Final Warning: Are We Already in the Loop?

If these experiments were successful, then how do we know we are not already caught inside a time loop experiment running on a mass scale? The sensations of déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and collective false memories may not be glitches, but evidence of repeated iterations of reality—loops created and manipulated through frequency-based intervention.

The question is not whether this experiment happened. The question is: when are we now?

Polomos City (artwork by Dipfruit)

The capitol city of Xenogaea, Polomos City, named after the Polomos River (Xenogaean: /po̞.ˈɬo̞.mo̞ʂ/, also spelled Polómos), a tributary of the larger and more well-known Mourŷnkeidar (Xenogaean: /ˈmo:.rɨ̞.ˈᵑke:.dəɾ/, also spelled Móúrŷnkéídar), is the largest city in Xenogaea by both area and population density, boasting a whopping 42 million people living in an area of around 17,000 square kilometers, housing roughly 8% of the entire population of the country in its northernmost corner. It also appears to be the oldest continually-inhabited urban center in Xenogaea, with surveys of the land indicating settlements submerged under the rest of the city may date back as far as 14,000 years ago, with some even more scant evidence suggesting the city may be even older by another couple millennia. As such, it is also highly important to reconstructing early Xenogaean history. Despite arguably being the most historically important city in the region, it is a common misconception that the Xenogaean royal family's palace is located here: though the family owns a so-called "summer palace" here, the main palace is actually located in the city of Ndoskani (Xenogaean: /ˈⁿdo.ska.ni/, also spelled Ndóskani) in the country's Isanunti mountain range. Like many cities throughout the country, Polomos City is heavily fortified to keep out indigenous megafauna, making use of infrasonic cannons oriented along a ring of outposts to drive away wandering dinosaurs. If, however, a stray dinosaur does manage to wander within range of the city walls, guards are placed there to sedate, immobilize, and transport it to a safer location. In years past, megafauna which wandered into city walls were killed on sight due to fear of danger to the public, though as many species in the region are now heavily endangered, such protocols were revoked in favor of a "catch-and-release" method. Despite its status as the capitol system and the center of lawmaking in the country, Polomos City is infamous for its rampant petty and organized crime alike, something which the city's police department has frequently been accused of either enabling or directly engaging in themselves. As such, it's often referred to "Xenogaea's bloodiest city" or "Xenogaea's dirtiest city" (though ironically, it's actually ranked 1st place for the cleanest city countrywide).

Book 1: The Spectre of Silf

Page 1

In a parallel universe not so far from our own, the world was still reeling from a catastrophe that had shaken it to its core. The chaotic aftermath of the alien squid's destruction of New York was beginning to subside, but the wounds were still fresh. The world had changed irrevocably, and humanity was struggling to adjust to the new normal.

Kalki, a figure of power and mystery, watched the world from her lofty perch in the shadows. Her gaze was distant, her mind lost in a labyrinth of thoughts. Her eyes were a deep black, like two dark pools reflecting the universe's vast expanse. She was both a part of this world and separate from it, a paradox that had been the source of her strength and her torment.

On the streets below, people scurried about their daily lives, oblivious to the watchful eyes that followed their every move. Kalki was not a benevolent guardian, nor was she a vengeful deity. She was a product of her circumstances, a pawn in a cosmic game that was far beyond her understanding.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted, focusing on a solitary figure making its way through the crowd. The figure moved with purpose, its every step echoing with an unseen authority. It was Adrian Veidt, the man known to the world as Ozymandias.

Veidt was a brilliant mind, a visionary who had seen the world's potential and its pitfalls. But he was also a man haunted by his actions. His plan had saved the world from a nuclear war, but at a cost too great to bear. The guilt weighed heavily on him, a constant reminder of the blood on his hands.

As Kalki watched Veidt disappear into the crowd, a chill ran down her spine. She could sense a change in the air, a shift in the cosmic balance. She knew in her heart that a storm was coming, one that would test the mettle of every soul on earth.

But as the first woman, Kalki knew she had a role to play. She was bound by duty and destiny to stand against the coming darkness. And as the world spun on its axis, oblivious to the threats that lurked in the shadows, Kalki prepared for the battle that was to come.

Her journey had just begun. The world may have been in chaos, but in chaos, there was opportunity. And Kalki was determined to seize it. For better or for worse, the fate of the world was now intertwined with hers.

And so, the stage was set for a grand cosmic drama, one that would unravel the very fabric of reality and redefine the course of history. The world was on the brink of a new era, an era that would be shaped by the actions of a single woman.

This was the beginning of Kalki's saga, a tale of power, betrayal, and redemption. It was a story that would echo through the annals of time, a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity.

The world was watching, and Kalki was ready to play her part.
