Introducing my new adoptive son!!! (/hsarc)

Seriously though, I love him. Absolute fanfic reader of a cookie. Literally the epitome of the eternal 13 year old who's a little too into romance novels and AO3 fanfics.

He definitely writes his own fanfiction.

look at him go. little menace to society.

I also like Eternal Sugar Cookie. She's such a good antag when it comes to emotional manipulation and using ones desires against them!!! Aghh!! I can't wait to see what more she does as a villain in the next chapter!!! 🥺

👀?

Babies!!! You two are gonna be such good parents!

"Thank you! We're really excited to have children of our own! We haven't seen baby salamanders in so long, it's way overdue!"

characters will be bisexual and end up with a partner of either preferred gender and suddenly their bisexuality is in question. esp. if it's seen as "straight". Characters should not need to be polyamorous to get their sexualities across to the viewer. (Polyamory is fine, but that shouldn't be used to address the issue. Basically: You can write polyamory into any character, but it shouldn't be used to "fix" a non-existant issue, or to fix anything at all.)

on that same note, it literally does not matter. the character is into whatever the character is into. hell, characters' Sexualities do not need to be static. bisexuality/pansexuality can be a gateway/stepping stone to other types of sexualites (ex. jaiden, who thought she was pan before she figured out she was aroace). Or, it can be the endpoint! It doesn't matter. it shouldn't need to be the crux of the story for it to occur. same goes for genders or whatever else.

In general, LGBTQ+ Rep SHOULD include the questioning process, the identities we settle on before finding others we think suit us better. LGBTQ+ Rep ALSO includes "straight" relationships when a bisexual is involved. let bisexuals be bisexuals, whomever they're into. let characters change how they present and explore themselves without it being a major plot point. not everything neets to be on full blast 24/7.

i am. very brainded right now. but thank you for asking!!!!

actually trying to get my partner to get a tumblr so i can harass her hehe

[axofixations]

your sona looks awesome!! do you have a ref of them perhaps :3

i got one single full-reference, and it's this

this is an accurate colour and horn ref though

[without background]

her pants are whatever she feels like wearing tbh

she do have wings I just suck at drawing them when they're full-sized (like many things)

i jokingly call her a 2018 gacha hybrid because she's got the horns, the wings, the tail, and the random extra species (axolotl for the frill) thrown in. though, usually only one or two of the features are active at once w/her.

when god wakes up in the morning, do you think he regrets seeing his creations run amuk?

[axofixations]

idc what people say, THESE ARE MY SQUIRCLES!!!!

THIS SHIH IS NOT A SQUIRCLE!!!! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS A SQUIRCLE. RAHHH.

link for anyone who wanna mess wit the "unit squircle".

[axofixations]

can you show us the full doodle of you watering the succulent? ^_^

succulency :3

this is a relatively older doodle of me [as evidenced by the horn shape and the pieces of hair that hang below the face]. It wasn't intended to be very good, and you can see as such by the lack of proper line pruning, but I always find it charming when I see it - very much opposing my opinions of much of my older art [especially of 1 - 6 years ago].

is simply a bit whimsical, and looks good despite being imperfect. and I like those facts.

looks at axofolk... please spill the lore if you dont mind :3c

YAYAYAYAYAYA OKAY MKMKMKMK

Axofolk are actually very genetically similar to our Axolotls! Although it's unknown how they are this genetically similar, since they developed on completely different planets. (Accidental evolutionary convergance...? Ambystona mexicanum [Axolotls] and Ambystona anthropos [Axofolk] are the species names.)

They come in the standard Axolotl colours — Brown, which makes up a majority of the population [brown is the typical colour of Axolotls found in the wild], Gold, and Leucistic. They can be born with 'freckles' on their skin— similar to some Axolotls. [I actually don't know the genetics behind them, I presume they're not identical to human freckles because... that wouldn't make sense.]

There's actually mythological roots in Axofolk culture behind Chimeras and Mosaics! Normally, they are created because axolotl eggs are very malleable and you can basically just split one in half and attach it to another half and they'll grow together perfectly fine. However, this isn't as possible for Axofolk, as they are ovoviviporous [they produce eggs, but they keep the eggs in their body to be fertilized. I actually took this from the mollies we have in our fish tank, because they do the same. It's a form of giving live birth.].

I haven't worked out the means of how they occur, but they have major cultural meaning, since it was thought that they were far more connected to the oceans and the lands than normal axofolk. Though... there hasn't been one in ages. [Literally ages.]

They are a sexually dimorphic species! Part of it is actually tied to how they breathe. Axofolk evolved to be amphibious — live in water and on land. But, they don't do as well on land since their bodies are still primarily aquadynamic. They have both frill and 'noses' — there's a form of breathing that some amphibious and semiaquatic species do that's called 'buccal breathing', and it allows them to breathe plain air.

Axofolk have this, which is how they can breathe in the water and on land. But, they need an area to store the air before it goes to the lungs, so they have... chests. All axofolk have chests. They're empty since it's just to store air, but they technically have chests. Female Axofolk tend to have larger chests to store more air, but anyone can have a large chest! Or a small chest! But they almost always have some chest.

Axofolk Culture would take a whole other post to really,, talk about. Like the last-name system, translations to english, cultural gender roles, stances on nonbinary folk and polyamoury, bathing and swimming culture, etc...

Admittedly this species is mostly a passion project, so it's only as detailed as I make it and when I feel like it. But... to be honest, this is probably more lore than I've ever made by myself in my life. RIP my creativity.

"Seamus! Come quick! Hurry!"

[the-slimes]

Any day! Any day! Hope you're ready Ysmine!

"I'm so ready to be skinny again! I also want to meet my babies!"

[the-slimes]

Do you know how many your having, or what their genders are?

"No idea! All I know is that we have a list of a bunch of girl names, and a bunch of boy names."

[the-slimes]

Have you decided on any names yet?

"Yes we have! We came up with quite a few, actually."

[the-slimes]

Do you know how many are going to be in your brood?

"I can't give you a definitive answer there, but it'll most likely, compared to others from our clan, around four to nine. We're not so sure it'll be nine, but were preparing for it, anyway. Just to be safe."

[the-slimes]

I really don't mean to be vulgar, but you're amphibians with nipples. Will you be caring for babies in the traditional mammal way with that in mind?

"Actually, no. We're like birds in the sense. The babies start as eggs, then we feed them soft food as they grow."
