#Thank god for winter break

[lemongreem]

Getting dumped is kinda wild cause it's like What was I to you? Hymns on a bathroom stall? To be painted over one day after being read by millions? Or will I forever live in a glass case in an empty room you'll never visit? A shrine to things you wish you'd done differently? Maybe a shrine to things you don't ever want to forget? It's a shrine nonetheless and I'm trapped in a crystal box and I'm crying diamond tears and I'm coughing bloody words and sneezing bruised hours I'm never getting back.

Hi, Mr Edgeworth! Thank you very much for answering my last ask :) I meant to make it anonymous because I tend to get embarrassed by my rambles, but I'm glad you don't find them bothersome ^^

Well, your statement about them changing colour because of their emotions is correct! Although they won't represent sadness or happiness with their colour change, they can use it to intimidate or show surrender to possible threats, as well as a desire to mate with another chameleon. However, this is not the only reason for this ability of theirs!

Chameleons can change their colour to regulate their body temperature, you see! The lighter the colour, the less sunlight it'll absorb. The darker, the opposite, resulting in either warming or cooling themselves depending on the situation. Personally, I find this reason for colour change extremely useful, and of course, interesting.

The colour change itself works in a very special way. Chameleons have two sets of special cells that they can manipulate: Chromatophores and Iridophores. With chromatophores, the chameleon's brain send a message to these cells and moves them, causing them to move their pigment around and make the change happen.

However, chromatophores don't have bright pigments in them, such as yellow or red. This is were the iridophores come in!

Iridophores, which are placed right under the chameleon's skin are made of thousands of nanocrystals which can reflect light and also contain pigment. When the iridophores expand (or contract), they change their structure and move the nanocrystals, which cause the light to reflect in different ways and execute the colour change.

What do you think of this? Personally, I think that chameleons are just one of the many examples of how wondrous nature can be. Thank you for wishing me well in my reptile studies, and I wish you the very same with Law!

To close this, I'll leave you with a picture of a Brookesia nana, also known as nano chameleon, which is considered the smallest reptile in the world, due to their body being only 0.53 inches long.

(fun fact! contrary to most chameleons, the nano chameleon does not change colour.)

Again, I thank you for your time, and best of luck in your studies.

Best regards,

Gray.

Dear Mx Gray,

I once again extol your dedication to the subject of interest. Please be assured that in no way, shape, or form am I disturbed by such informative passages. Moreover, taking time to study areas that I have not previously explored is an essential part of my belief system; no time spent on studying should be considered wasted.

As for the message, the data provided is very impressive. To tell the truth, neither herpetology nor zoology as a whole could be included in my list of strengths, so your studying was not in vain: I appreciate the care put into crafting this short yet clear and concise summary of unique biological features of these reptiles. Nature never fails to impress us with its level of consideration, as every little part of every single species has a purpose, each living thing contributes to the future of its descendants.

In fine, the intricacies of bodily functions of chameleons are more than fascinating, and so is the diversity of the species; I am certain that Brookesia nana is but a single instance of reptilian peculiar beauty.

As always, please accept my gratitude for the kind words and my reciprocal wishes.

Best regards,

Vincent Edgeworth

Twst Oc Ideas (That I’m currently focusing on)

So I do actually plan on making more Twst ocs other than Usagi 😂. These are the ones I’m putting primary focus on.

1. The Fearsome Five - Darkwing Duck

Idk if anyone has any Twst ocs based on any of the Disney Afternoon show villains yet… but I don’t give a shit I’m doing this anyway 😂. They are based on the 5 main-ish villains from Darkwing Duck: Megavolt, Bushroot, Quackerjack, The Liquidator, and Negaduck. These are the ocs that are currently the most developed (just need to make their designs lol). I’ll reveal their names and dorms for now

Megavolt - Castella Sparkvolt, part of the Ignihyde Dorm

Bushroot - Tino Rosebush, part of the Pomefiore Dorm

Quackerjack - Jax Harlequin, part of the Heartslabyul Dorm

Liquidator - Beck Loman, part of the Octavinelle Dorm

Negaduck - Sterling Doppelt, part of the Diasomnia Dorm

2. Peg-Leg Pete

Out of curiosity I looked up if anyone’s made an oc based on Pete yet and I’m honestly surprised no one has yet. Or maybe someone did and I’m just looking in the wrong places idk. Jim Peters is a name I’ve been thinking, not that creative I might change it later on, but his first name is a reference to Jim Cummings, his current VA. And Pete is a surname, my logic is that if Honest John's Twst counterpart is named Fellow Honest, then my Pete character can have Peters or even just Pete as his last name. But anyway, if I had to choose a dorm… maybe Heartslabyul or hell maybe Octavinelle because of Steamboat Willie. Though an idea I’ve had is that… he joins Ramshackle with Usagi, Usagi has that arc where they start to embody their role as dorm leader... though of course it takes adjusting since it's just that one house rn but they make it work.

3. Mortimer Mouse

Speaking of the Mickey & Friends cast. Mortimer's twst counterpart is another character I feel would either be in the official dorms, maybe Heartslabyul, or be in a similar situation to Jim in where he's placed in Ramshackle (he'd be forced to go on the fucking couch in the living room area💀). His name would be Maurice Slicker. Another voice actor reference, this being Maurice LaMarche. Slicker is a reference to what I believe Mortimer was originally known as. Overall, an excuse to make a character who’s a complete asshat yet is also a constant punching bag character 😂. Who also says stuff like Ha-Cha-Cha a lot lol.

4. Bill Cipher - Gravity Falls

Is this an excuse to make a humanoid Bill design yet still have him as his own character? Yes… yes it is 😂. My name idea for him… Alex Goldeye. I feel like that would be his “mortal name”. The idea of a chaos lord attending Nights Ravens college and just vibing there until just deciding to start shit cause he can interests me.

5. .GIFfany - Gravity Falls

Okay look… I have a soft spot for yandere characters okay? His name would be .GIFfard and his obsession would be Usagi… because this poor Prefect seems to attract all the trouble. He’d eventually get a humanoid body and be placed in the Ignihyde. Albeit his obsessiveness toned down a bit because he’s lowkey terrified of Malleus.

Now for… Characters that are still priority but I still need to come up with names for… with some facts included.

6. Shere Khan - The Jungle Book

At first it’d be a no brainer he’d be in Savanaclaw, but then I had moment and was like… what if he was in Scaracia, so he’d be a subtle nod to Rajah from Aladdin.

7. AUTO & GO4 - WALL-E

More sentient AI robot characters cause I love those kinds of characters. Both in Ignihyde for obvious reasons. Also GO4’s character is feral af like constantly hisses at people.

8. King Candy/Turbo & Sour Bill - Wreck it Ralph

Yes… just Yes. Ignihyde Dorm.

9. The Big Bad Wolf - The Three Little Pigs

Another character that could potentially be in Ramshackle… otherwise Savanaclaw.

10. Bruce, Anchor, & Chum - Finding Nemo

Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids Shark mermaids SHARK MERMAIDS…. Octavinelle Dorm

And now…. Just listing characters I want to make into Twst lads

11. The Sanderson Sisters, Binx, & Billy Butcherson- Hocus Pocus

12. Alameda Slim - Home on the Range

13. The Jabberwock, The Bandersnatch, & the JubJub- Alice in Wonderland

14. Hopper, Molt, & Thumper - Bugs Life

15. Mor’du - Brave

16. Syndrome - The Incredibles

17. Lotso, Big Baby, & Chuckles the Clown- Toy Story 3

18. Marina Del Ray & Benjamin - The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning

19. Sir Kay & Madam Mim - The Sword in the Stone

And finally for now

20. Randall Boggs, Fungus, & Henry J. Waternoose III - Monsters Inc.

…I’ll shut up now 💀
