Here's the initial design choices and colorings after some thinkings on my part for demon ! Gabe. I like what I've gone with so far, and it may stick with little tweaks. We'll just have to see.

[unofficial-sean]

I just discovered the Moor frog... beautiful. They're native to Finland and the males become blue during the mating season.

they are imagining amplexis with each other.

But they're both too shy to admit it to one another. And so they part ways, both not realizing each other's desire for one another. They never cross paths again in the great, cold bogs of Finland's wetland biomes.

They find a homely female frog, robust and brown, impressed by their songs and full of eggs in May. They pair up and spawn a new generation of Moors; the tadpoles left alone to figure out life, just as they once did. They hop away from their partners to feast on bug, not realizing that this will be their last mating season.

They feel their bodies starting to fail of old age and wonder how different their lives could have been if only the had croaked, right then and there; in each other's embrace, in the humid air, under the overcast sky of Scandanavia.

They croak their last croak, and close those froggy eyes for the last time. And dream of each other. Before it all cuts to black.

I'm making myself cry, I shouldn't be allowed to write things.

Laocoon

Jener bemüht sich der Knoten Gewirr mit den Händen zu trennen; Geifer und schwärzliches Gift umströmt ihm die heiligen Binden; Grässlich ertönt sein Jammergeschrei empor zu den Sternen, Gleich dem Gebrülle des Stiers, wenn verwundet er von dem Altar flieht Und von dem Nacken das Beil, das schwankend geführte, sich schüttelt.

*** Laocoon, ductus Neptuno sorte sacerdos, sollemnis taurum ingentem mactabat ad aras. ecce autem gemini a Tenedo tranquilla per alta

- horresco referens - immensis orbibus angues

incumbunt pelago pariterque ad litora tendunt; pectora quorum inter fluctus arrecta iubaeque sanguineae superant undas, pars cetera pontum pone legit sinuatque immensa volumine terga. fit sonitus spumante salo; iamque arva tenebant

ardentisque oculos suffecti sanguine et igni sibila lambebant linguis vibrantibus ora. diffugimus visu exsangues. illi agmine certo Laocoonta petunt; et primum parva duorum corpora natorum serpens amplexus uterque

implicat et miseros morsu depascitur artus; post ipsum auxilio subeuntem ac tela ferentem corripiunt spirisque ligant ingentibus; et iam bis medium amplexi, bis collo squamea circum terga dati superant capite et cervicibus altis.

ille simul manibus tendit divellere nodos perfusus sanie vittas atroque veneno, clamores simul horrendos ad sidera tollit: qualis mugitus, fugit cum saucius aram taurus et incertam excussit cervice securim.

at gemini lapsu delubra ad summa dracones effugiunt saevaeque petunt Tritonidis arcem, sub pedibusque deae clipeique sub orbe teguntur. tum vero tremefacta novus per pectora cunctis insinuat pavor, et scelus expendisse merentem

Laocoonta ferunt, sacrum qui cuspide robur laeserit et tergo sceleratam intorserit hastam. ducendum ad sedes simulacrum orandaque divae numina conclamant. Dividimus muros et moenia pandimus urbis.

Rodi, gruppo scultoreo di Diagora con due dei suoi figli che lo portano in braccio.

Diagora di Rodi fu uno dei più importanti atleti dell'antica Grecia. Tra le altre gare vinte in diverse specialità e in varie località, nel 464 a.C. conquistò il primo posto nella gara di pugilato dei giochi olimpici.

La leggenda narra che ebbe tre figli maschi, i quali nello stesso giorno vinsero le olimpiadi, uno nel pugilato, uno nel pancrazio (misto di lotta e pugilato) ed uno nella lotta.

Aulo Gellio narra che la sua gioia per i trionfi dei figli fu tale che, dopo aver ricevuto i loro abbracci, morì.

"Is Diagoras tris filios adulescentis habuit, unum pugilem, alterum pancratiasten, tertium luctatorem. Eos omnis uidit uincere oronarique.

Olympiae eodem die et, cum ibi cum tres dulescentes amplexi coronis suis in caput patris positis sauiarentur, cum populus gratulabundus flores undique in eum iaceret, ibidem in stadio inspectante populo in osculis atque in manibus filiorum animam efflauit."

The Death of Laocoon (Aeneid 2.199-222)

Now, another terrifying thing happened to the Trojans,

this more severe and more wretched, and troubled our hearts.

Laocoon, chosen as priest of Neptune by lot,

was sacrificing a huge bull at the solemn altar.

But then – and I shudder to speak of it – two serpents

with vast coils were approaching over the peaceful depths of the sea;

they had come from Tenedos and were aiming for our shore.

They raised their erect chests and bloody crests between the waves,

their bodies skimmed the sea behind,

their backs were bent in huge coils.

Foaming, the sea crashed aloud – and now they were approaching our fields,

burning, their eyes were shot with blood and fire,

hissing, they moistened their mouths with rippling tongues -

We scattered at the sight, pale with fear. They made for Laocoon

in a determined battle line, and the first snake,

enveloping the small bodies of his two sons in an

embrace, devoured their wretched limbs with his fangs -

then they seized Laocoon himself as he came to help bringing weapons,

and they tied him up in their vast coils.

Twice they wound around his middle,

twice they wrapped their scaly bodies around his neck

while he tried to break the coils with his bare hands.

Drenched in blood, his ribbons black with poison,

he raised dreadful screams to the stars.

Hic aliud maius miseris multoque tremendum obicitur magis atque improvida pectora turbat.               200 Laocoon, ductus Neptuno sorte sacerdos, sollemnis taurum ingentem mactabat ad aras. ecce autem gemini a Tenedo tranquilla per alta (horresco referens) immensis orbibus angues incumbunt pelago pariterque ad litora tendunt;               205 pectora quorum inter fluctus arrecta iubaeque sanguineae superant undas, pars cetera pontum pone legit sinuatque immensa volumine terga. fit sonitus spumante salo; iamque arva tenebant ardentisque oculos suffecti sanguine et igni               210 sibila lambebant linguis vibrantibus ora. diffugimus visu exsangues. illi agmine certo Laocoonta petunt; et primum parva duorum corpora natorum serpens amplexus uterque implicat et miseros morsu depascitur artus;               215 post ipsum auxilio subeuntem ac tela ferentem corripiunt spirisque ligant ingentibus; et iam bis medium amplexi, bis collo squamea circum terga dati superant capite et cervicibus altis. ille simul manibus tendit divellere nodos               220 perfusus sanie vittas atroque veneno, clamores simul horrendos ad sidera tollit:

Hey, happy birthday young lady! Peace and blessings to you and yours, from Amplexi. ^_^

Many thanks!

About my car woes...

@amplexi said “I am not mechanically apt, but is it possible to remove the wires or pull the fuse (?) For the noisemakers? Peace.”

Oh, believe me I considered it. But since it isn’t just the sound but an immobilizer that won’t let you start the engine I wasn’t sure what to pull.

Here is un update: UGH!

So I spent Monday talking to mechanics trying to find someone that could do something. It took all day, but finally I found someone. They would come the next day....

So Tuesday the tow truck arrives and I have to put the car in gear for him after he hooks up the battery and when I turn the key to start....it starts! Yep, tow truck there and now it all works! The car started, the alarm went off, and I looked like an idiot for getting them to come. I think they thought I hadn’t tried properly. I drove the car around a bit and everything seemed fine. Problem solved....

Until today, Wednesday. When I started the car it almost didn’t turn over. So something is draining the battery while it’s parked. Since I got it started I drove it to the repair shop.

Now I was stuck with no one to give me a lift home. Finally the 85 year old matriarch of the family running the business gave a drive the 10 miles back home. It was very nice of her, and I didn’t mind her running errands along the way. I admit the conversation wasn’t exactly pleasant for me: my marital status, her son’s recent sudden death from cancer, her defense of Trump...

The worst for me came when talked about my father. She laughed about how they used to pick on my father. What’s so irksome is that she didn’t even seem to think it had been a bad thing to do. I expect if my father had been there she still would have talked about it with nostalgic affection, oblivious to the pain it had caused him. She was enough older she would have been in her late teens when he moved to town. She was old enough she shouldn’t have been bullying a kid for being a yankee with a “funny” name. (Yep, “Wolfe” is a funny name. Go figure.) I know how much it all hurt Pop. There is a reason Pop wouldn’t go to class runions and such. He remembered the bullying all his life.

But what do you do? Fight with the old lady that’s nice enough to drive you And is a wobbly enough driver you REALLY don’t want to distract her? Someone that probably isn’t even wired up such she can understand the pain bullying ‘causes? 

So I bit my tongue and do what I do when I think arguing is pointless or unwise. I listened. I tried to make it clear I didn’t agree, but in a low key “you just keep talkin’, ‘cause you don’t wanna get me started” kind of way.

The funny thing is she ended up reacting to me the way people often do. She said she enjoyed talking to me and we should have lunch sometime so we can talk more! Why is it that people like talking to me, especially when I feel like there is a huge divide between us? Is it because I clearly listen and have been accused of having an extremely expressive face so they can tell I’m paying attention? Too bad I never run into people with at least one shared interest or opinion! LOL

Anyway, so now I am stuck driving the unreliable pickup, hoping it’s a quick and cheap fix, and worrying about how the heck I will get back to the shop to get the car when it’s done....

When I mentioned my problem getting a lift to the woman that runs the garage she said “You should join a club”, to which I pointed out local clubs are church related and I belong to no church. She thought a moment and said she thinks there is some sort of dance class in Willamston....

No.

Dancing? ME dancing?!? 

No! Just no!

Two things I don’t do. Ever. 1) sing and 2) dance.

And when would I have the time and energy? I just discovered a fist sized hole in the roof of Mom’s kitchen, so now I have to add that to my enormous list of things to do. I don’t feel like dancing, I feel like SLEEPING! LOL

Pickersgill’s reed froggo💚🐸

I think it may be becoming apparent now how much i adore frogs. I think they are very interesting little creatures who do so much for ecosystems!! So, today i will be telling you about a very very tiny froggo who is critically endangered and lives near me!! 

The Pickersgill reed frog is only found along the coastline of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It’s only three centimetres long and likes muddy wetlands. It’s major threats are: Coastal development, habitat fragmentation, and draining of water used for agricultural and urban development.

Their favourite foods are little bugs, like mosquitoes (Ew!!) and flies.

They breed like other species of frogs, using amplexis behaviour to mate. In captivity it takes about a year to grow up and be able to reproduce. 

They are nocturnal!! During the day, Pickersgill’s reed frog camouflages by slightly changing colour (Browner) to blend into their surroundings during the day, then proudly displays their colours at night. (Lmao, reminds me of me...) Due to their sexual dimorphism, it is easy to tell female and male frogs apart.

Thank you for reading and i hope this enlightened you!!

Till next time,

Jen🌿✨💕

here is an interesting link about other endangered south african species,

and here is a link i should recommend you check out if you’d like to know more about this frog!! :)

Hope you are feeling better! Thanks for sharing all the good stuff!

I am feeling much better, but also much weaker. I still have very debilitating coughing jags, and I must use an inhaler, but I'm not bedridden anymore, and that's a blessing. Thank you for asking about my health. I hope you are well.

continued from 🐈‍⬛with @gunslinginnhogtyin's butch / in THE WILD WEST!

Spice, heat--that's what Gabriel was smelling from this human. He wasn't happy upon noticing him there, and even holding onto his hat for him hadn't even inspired an ounce of sweetness--not any that the Amplexi could smell, anyway. It was safe to say that the blonde didn't seem to like demons at all, and he actually didn't even need to see his expression or hear his tone of voice to understand that.

His scent said it all.

Suspicion was there, on his face, though, as Gabriel continued to stare back at him. For most, it looked to be a lost opportunity, but the fact that this human had judged him before even knowing him... he couldn't let that go.

"Do you greet all demons like that, or just the ones that you think you know?" Gabriel retorted, but not too unkindly as he turned to face the retreating human. From his own tone, it was clear that he was a bit offended, but some words like that weren't enough to deter Gabriel. He was one of the more stubborn Amplexi. "I don't want this world or your guts, either--just so happened to pick up the hat you dropped."

Wait, what was that smell ... ?

Raising one of his hands, the scent grew, just a bit, so Gabriel then raised both--as he'd held that had in both hands--and gently sniffed them. What lingered was the very faint, but unmistakable scent of affection. What a nice scent... Perhaps that hat was special? Dropping his hands, the Demon continued.

"Mortals aren't all the same, are you? It's same for demons ... unless you want me to believe you're exactly the same as that mortal you just tore into." ... A mortal who'd been giving grief and pain to a mortal woman which was how the fight even STARTED.

feeding of an amplexi. | demon verse.

Notes: "amplexus" - ( latin ) "embrace" ( refers to the "mating embrace" of some fertilizing species as they must embrace while mating ) which is a bit of a joke considering the dud incubi / succubi--formally separated / known as "amplexi"--don't need to mate at all to survive and can just embrace humans instead which is not the traditional incubi / succubi way.

Like said above, as long as the target is human--or even half human / partial human--the Amplexi will be able to feed off of the affection that is bestowed upon them.

Size of Sustenance Per Level of Humanity ( Literally ):

Actual, regular mortals / humans offer the largest amount to feed off of with

mostly humans coming in second with 3/4 of a regular amount,

half-humans coming in third with 1/2, and

partial humans dead last with a 1/4 of the amount ( meaning they will offer the least amount of sustenance ).

Full blooded demons will not be able to offer any sustenance which includes the sub-race that the Amplexi actually belong to ( incubi and succubi ) as the genders are lumped together. The affection is a tease as its not filling at all / offerings nothing, but it still can be enjoyed for what it is.
