Boba was very brave! He came out to have a look at what happened to his water even though I was still sat in front of his enclosure. What a good boy!

[ID: Two pictures of Boba the black and brown ball python. In the first he's directly facing the camera with his head poking out from his hide. In the second he has his head over the water bowl and he's flicking his tongue]

Richard Lipschitz - Transmasc and aroace. He was being forced into a marriage he didn't want and he begged for the gods to save him, one of them took pity on the boy and "cursed" him as a gorgon, being the only gorgon of the group who was happy about the situation. His snakes are Blue Eyed Leucistic Ball Pythons.

The Humans

Maxwell Jägerman - Cis, pansexual, demigod. While making his name as a hero he was tasked by Ruth's parents to kill their wicked monster of a son, but when he arrived all he found was a beautiful woman.

[lockedbehindtheambereye]

Pavlov, the mad scientist.

Trivia:

- Curse is inlaid into their eyes, rather than their hands. Direct eye contact triggers the curse.

- Kuras Route

- AMAB and agender, doesn't understand the point of gender expression and doesn't care about other's opinions on their identity. Doesn't care about being labelled as male or female and doesn't bother correcting people. Kuras and Mhin seemed easily able to tell that they were genderless.

- He and she can be used for them, but they do prefer they/them or any other gender neutral pronouns, including it/its and neopronouns.

- Is adept in all forms of science such as Biology, Human Anatomy, Chemistry/Alchemy, Physics, Pyschology, Medicine, Astronomy, etc.

- Is also adept in maths up to AP Calc.

- Enjoys reading and writing, but not very often.

- High masking autistic

- Has a pet Axanthic Ball Python named Zirconium

- Finds Kuras' presence offputting but very intriguing.

- Can use magic, but only for practical reasons.

- Not spiritual in any sense and prefers logic over idealism. Understands that spiritual entities and magic exists, but prefers to use science to explain everything.

- Perfected the ability to create their glasses out of magic so that if they get lost or destroyed, they can just create a new pair outta thin air lmao.

- Doesn't talk much, but when they do, it's usually to prove you wrong.

- Shows emotion despite what you may think. They aren't very expressive by any means, but they have their ways.

- They have pinpoint accuracy and are really good with long-range weapons. Has a magical energy longbow that is heavily inspired by Gowther's Herritt treasure from Seven Deadly Sins

- Loves stargazing

- Love language is parallel play

- Germaphobe

- Butterfly symbolism

- Dry humor and puns to the max

- Voice Claim is Clint Bickham

Backstory:

Their childhood was quiet. They didn't have many friends and mostly stuck to their mother's side. She was autistic as well and seemed to be the only one who understood Pavlov. Their mother educated them for most of their life, until she was taken away. Pavlov was only 12. She was taken away by people that Pavlov cannot remember, but they know that they will hunt for their heads. On that same day, a Senobium mage came to Pavlov, calling herself Lunaviere (luna-vee-air), or simply just Lady Luna. She said she would take the place of their mother. Pavlov reacted badly at first, but eventually masked it all and gave cold indifference to Lady Luna.

It wasn't until years later, at 17, that Pavlov had gotten over their indifference to Lady Luna, mostly because she taught him well. Pav found their love for a lot of things through Lady Luna, and she taught them how to use magic and study the stars. Pav found comfort in stargazing with her.

When Pavlov was 19, they discovered a letter on Lady Luna's desk. It was a letter from the Senobium.

...You need to submit your research on the subject, Lunaviere. The curse that child holds is no joke. Find a way to extract that curse and send us the results...

Lady Luna was using Pavlov for research. They huffed out a pained laugh and put the letter and put it back where they found it. From then on, Lady Luna became more pressing and pushy. Pavlov is sure she knew that they had read the letter.

It was when she had strapped them down while they were sleeping that they had realized they should've acted sooner. They should've run when they had the chance.

(tw: eye related goreish description)

Luna had poked and prodded at his eyes, stabbing them, probing them from the inside, only to find that their eyes regrew and so did their vision. Pavlov's screams died on deaf ears as no one would come to save them from the torture that woman did to them.

Using magic and common sense was how they escaped, they stole whatever money they could from Luna and ran. Not only would they come back to kill that woman, but they would also find whoever took their mother and set them up for torture. And they'll do it by any means necessary.

[starsofthestorm]

they should teach me more about genetics graah !!!!!!

i am frantically googling anything i want to know

ive read so far that the reason axanthic and pied ball pythons are so expensive is because both genes are recessive, or heterozygous, meaning that the snake needs two copies in order to actually present it

my dream snake is an axanthic pied ball python

thats as far as i got though. i know the snake i want exists i know that for certain but

what happens from there??? how exactly do you get an axanthic pied? do you have to breed a pied het axanthic and then breed an axanthic het pied and then breed those two? or can just an axanthic and pied produce an axanthic-pied?

grraahh,,,,,

[broken-moss-creature]

Your fav hognose morph are lavenders right? Do you have any favorite ball python morphs?

Omg yes they are! I really like the super cinnamon and axanthic, or even just a piebald, but my irl ball python is a normal :]

[lionews]

I live in a very expensive state (West Coast US) and just saying, standard reptiles from BREEDERS (which tend to be more expensive than rescues) can only cost you between $150-$500. I got myself a young Axanthic Ball Python from a really good breeder and she only cost me $350. Snakes that are more than $500 tend to be extremely difficult to breed morphs or have special feats about them that aren’t common. So TL;DR: Snakes are not as expensive typically compared to dogs/cats unless rare morphes

Anyways ASGZC as ball python morphs

Genesis is obviously a sunset, all of the red

Sephiroth I would say a pretty axanthic pinstripe, they have the right look

Angeal something not too bold a look, I would say maybe a cinnamon would fit him

I'm actually unsure about Zack, but maybe a GHI? Something darker for sure

Cloud's not even a question he's a banana

I love seeing people who make posts like "X characters if they were cats" or "X characters if they were dogs" and so on, because every time I think about something like I end up thinking of like. X characters as pasta dishes. X characters as ball python morphs. X characters as where would they be distributed on a Streckeisen diagram. Normal stuff
