Heya, I was wondering if there are any magic animal species that you've made up? 🤔 The magic animal reserve is so cool to me lmao

Hihi mysterious anon! Yeah, the magical animal reserve is super cool!

Excuse the sappy sentimentalist in me, but I actually took a lot of my creature ideas directly from sketchbooks I had when I was younger. Lemme introduce you to all of them.

I didn't make unicorns up, but I want unicorns bc they're cool. It think all your basic fantasy creatures exist in this universe. Bc I made it. And I can do whatever I want.

The most important thing in the reserve (and the main reason it's there) are the mas, which are what the magic community calls man-made animals. Mas were sort of a 'trend' a decade back or so. People realized they could create these living creatures out of scraps from around their houses and everyone was making them. For example, VOID's cat is a ma! The problem was: these scrap-part animals couldn't survive in any of the environments that animals similar to them could. To help these animals, Widowarton (the main site of the birth of these creations since it was popular among young adults) opened a reserve to try and help these animals live. Over the years they've also opened the reserve to other animals that needed to be preserved.

The rest of the creatures, though, are filled with 10-year-old creativity.

The cycloctopus- Pretty simple. One-eyed octopus. Idk what that thing is next to it. Don't ask.

Rolypine- This is sort of like a porcupine except it can roll up into a ball and roll around. They don't have needles, but spikes on their backs.

Dusties- Very little creatures (some call them bugs) that are usually found around old, dustly places. They don't usually cause problems, but it gets annoying when you find ten of them in a corner of your house. They're very soft, but emit poisonous stenches when they feel threatened.

Satan's Pig- This thing is just goofy. It's a little levitating guy with horns. They like pies.

Pixies- Now, I didn't make pixes up, but I found this little 'interpretation' of them that I drew in one of my books and I just fell in love with their designs. These little troublemakers are about the height of a baby. They have advanced enough brains that they have their own language, and they can learn human languages too. Usually, you wouldn't find them on animal reserves. They live in forests, on mountains, on beaches, in caves, etc. (it depends on the type of pixie). The few that are in the animal reserve were taken in by Widowarton staff because they'd somehow lost their home and the reserve is very diverse in habitats, so they easily found a suitable place to settle down. As a plus, the pixies in the reserve know more about human life and culture than any pixie ever has (and the Widowarton students and staff have learned a lot about Pixie cultures!).

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed the strange little creatures that you can find in the Widowarton Animal Reserve! Poppy is studying magical marine biology, so she spends a lot of her time at the reserve! Perhaps you'll hear about even more creatures from her in the future...

mobile is going to kill the quality of this but here's a poster i made for an imaginary band

[your-pain-is-my-amusement]

The dream demon in the human body can’t help but look kerfuffled from all the questions the guest has about this place.

“I-I don’t care what name you, urm... F-Find easiest to u-use... D-Danny...” He looks around nervously, as if trying not to attract unwanted attention of someone nearby.

“I-I, uhm... A-An Earl?” he looks down at his gloved hands and carefully repositions the fisticuffs of his suit so that they’re more comfortable around his wrists--

Speaking of which, this servant appears lanky, and the suit barely fits his tiny waist. Is he perhaps malnourished? And his skin tone is rather pale, like he doesn’t really see the sun much.

“... W-Working here’s o-okay, I suppose...” he shrugs. Looking down at the floor with a slight pout. His voice is so gentle, it’d be surprising for Danny to learn the truth about his true power and potential to destroy this entire world if he were angry enough. Thankfully though, Will’s sort of... Hard, to piss off like that.

“I-I can show you around the manor, maybe we’ll come across an ‘observation room’ like that...” He does another bow and once he’s straightened out, he turns and begins to lead Danny around the general areas of the manor.

There’s a lot of hallways. This damn place is intricate, like the Winchester Mystery House. Seems like even Will here doesn’t quite know where everything is exactly, either that or he knows more than he’s letting on. Which is probably true as well.

He starts off with a brief glance into the study room. It’s a cluttered office, many anomalous objects and specimens lining the bookshelves along with various other knickknacks and even a laser pistol looking straight outta some alien technological shit on the top shelf, away from people’s reach. If Danny wants to steal that from it’s glass display case, he’ll have to go ghost and float up there himself, risking vulnerability in the process. Probably best to leave it up there and not to touch it.

Whoever uses this study room, is probably out of the office for the moment.

“M-Master Stanford seems to be busy so we really shouldn’t hang around his office for too long... H-His Cycloctopus d-doesn’t like to be disturbed...” Will mumbles softly.

In response, a growl noise comes from one of the jars on the lower shelves of one of the bookcases. Oh-- it’s... a live alien specimen. Red scales and tendrils, with a big bulbous eye staring at the two in the doorway as it backs up to the far wall of the jar it’s contained in. It hisses in an irritated manner at Danny, specifically.

Will then takes Danny up the stairs to the right side of the manor, where it appears the bedrooms are. Or, the Twins’ bedrooms are up here.

They run into... A young brunette man dressed in... Light blue. Light blue suit and... His face seems... Familiar, for Danny.

“Eh? We’ve got a guest who’s actually around our age for once, demon?” the young man says, his voice... Familiar... as well. Yeah, it doesn’t crack as much in this universe but... Isn’t this Dipper?

Will bows at this Dipper and nods nervously. “Y-Yes, Master Dipper. He is Danny. M-Master Stanley found him outside.”

This Dipper looks Danny up and down with his cool, glowing sapphire eyes. Something seems... Off... About that look he gives this guy.

“Ech. Your attire reminds me of that Gideon Pines, Daniel.” Mason finally says after nearly gagging in response to seeing Danny’s outfit.

“Absolutely atrocious.”

Danny floated through the forest quietly keeping to himself. Navigating past tall Cedar, Fir, and Pine. Watching the maple leaves rustle past ss he glides by the tips of the tree. Halfa found his toxic green eyes land on something mysterious. He flown forward "Hello! Eh.. Sorry.. I'm lost.. Do you know what state we are in?"

This ‘something mysterious’ happens to be an elderly man, dragging along elongated black garbage bags into the woods.

He stops when this teenager approaches him from the… canopy… and he fakes a smile with a cough, standing in front of the garbage bags casually like they’re just trash, but… it’s kinda obvious they’re… urm… suspicious.

The smile drops as he processes what is asked to him and he narrows his eyes a little at this kid. “Yer in Oregon, near a tiny backwoods town called ‘Gravity Falls’.” His voice, is that a Jersey accent? “Whatcha doin’ all deh way out here, ghost kid? Floatin’ down from deh tree tops like yer shit don’t stink, that’ll definitely scare the residents here!”

Current Mood: Itinerant Cycloctopus

[twistedsixer]

Ford, why you're so extra? I mean, like... I don't know: jumping from a window, jumping from a UFO with your magnet, capturing a Cycloctopus... I mean, those rad moves you do, you learned them in other Universes?

Why be normal when you can be fabulous?

(I’m answering some old asks)

Oxy gladly accepts the offering and eats the food inside the bowl hastily, getting flakes and other bits of it everywhere.

Spring’s arrival must mean one of two things: The family’s gonna start showing symptoms of allergies and there’s gonna be lots of... Mating animals all over the place.

Perhaps that means Bill’s gonna also have a mating season due to the spring’s arrival. Who knows? Demons are strange, inexplicable creatures.

@your-pain-is-my-amusement

Bill had just finished putting away the leftovers from the meal. He would stick around a little bit longer though. Both to do a bit of cleaning and to see if anyone wanted a little more to eat. Perhaps as a snack on the way out or while they work on something. Bill's golden hues shifted towards the entrance to the kitchen when he heard someone's footsteps.

"Hello. Did you want some of the food? Or is there a drink you would like?"

Click.

Oxy remains still as the leash is clicked into the collar that Mason has managed to fit around what could be assumed to be his neck. Whatever that part of the Cycloctopus it is, it’s below the eye-mouth and above the tentacles so it doesn’t interrupt Oxy’s movement at all.

Mason then stands back up and proceeds to carefully open the door while holding the handle part of the leash firmly. Watching Oxy as he does this--

Oxy bursts out the door and pulls Mace along with a growl, excited to be outside in the fresh Earth air and he drags Mason along by the heels of his shoes, what a strong alien he is indeed!

@fordsixerpines

Something creaks in the floorboards of the shack for a moment.

Then, out of nowhere-- A red Cycloctopus darts out from a decorative plant nearby and launches itself right at Ford’s face! Hissing and snarling the entire time!

[your-pain-is-my-amusement]

The Cycloctopus went silent when the classical music started.

And once it was addressed for input, it gives an ‘I do not know’ sound in response. It then scoots closer to Bill and allows a few fangs to show around it’s eye as it seems to drool a little onto Bill’s suit in boredom.

Either it’s bored or it’s hungry.

@deity-of-calamity

The Gleefuls have left Bill all alone inside the house today, family therapy or something. Since Bill is the only one left to take care of the household alone, they left him in charge.

Now question is, will he throw a party and wreck the place like a disobedient teenager?
