Blep. (Sequel to the boop)

Or alternatively titled: Snake Jamil, but even larger noodle

The species that Jamil is based on here is called the Blood Python (special thanks to @kirexa for the information!), which can reach an average of 4-6 ft in length and up to 30 lbs in weight.

Thinking about Carpe Diem and the cinematography of falling leaves to falling snow.

Seasons as cyclical as generations. It's tapestries and banners. It’s photographs on the wall. A structure, a system; tradition in the bones of buildings and boys.

There's a choice to be made - Nolan's hollow, ceremonial Light of Knowledge, or Neil's scavenged, man-made God of the Cave?

They’re children living for the future through a lens of past. Fireside stories embraced by woodland caves. They chant, dance, and recite from a sacred book - the heirloom they claim from a father they chose.

The window is finally open, but time froze at Welton lake. Forever winter. Forever youth. A moment in time, a feeling, a community turned to dust.

It's all so fleeting. Carpe Diem. Teenage years, childhood, a lifetime in three months. It’s a tragedy of classical epics.

The tale is old, but this wound is fresh. Falling to your knees. Shouting at the sky, praying and wailing, and clutching at the earth.

But the snow never stops.

Spring is up to us.

this or that - whump tropes (53)

potentially dangerous flesh wound (and you might have to look out for rabies as well) or venom that a character might not even immediately notice?

Messy doodle dump of my twst non yuu ocs, there’s two that I havent shown before. Mainly did this to have one approximate ref sheet instead of many scattered here and there.

The ones with no family names are not twisted from any character, just guys

And the python vibin at diasomnia in his uh, own ways

More useless info on some of them :

Jean doesn’t seem to be able to grow his hair nice and long

Knows Verdant and Marius from primary school

He’s a rowdy guy but since he’s at heartslabyul he has been behaving (thanks Riddle)

Yes Leona does absolutely ignore him, Jean’s even more of an annoying cub than cheka mentally sometimes

Aak is probably the tallest student if malleus’ dragon form is not taken into account

His useless talent is he can swallow swords

Has bitten many students for funsies (tweels included)

Is a python, thus, a great swimmer in snake form

Verdant is just a lil guy who is eager to be of service

Marius mainly sneaks out of RSA to check on Verdant since Jean used to pick on the lil snake

Michel is a salty guy, probably not as salty as Rollo but not far

Petty with anyone really

Is a fae, his parents are weirdly obsessed with humans and live in fleur city and do just as them, using magic scarcely.

They wanted their son to have his ears changed to appear human like they did but Michel refused and pursued his studies as a mage.

in modern aus falin and laios should be studying biology, no question. some of my friends were biology majors and their mindset is literally "love this weird thing, i wonder what it tastes like". and even professors know it, because every field trip they would be like "btw this disgusting larva over here is edible, just saying" and "lets all taste this moss, it's actually pretty good!"

My leucistic Texas rat snake, Dilbert, was so excited for dinner that he came flying out at it when I opened his enclosure and missed by about a mile. I tried to move his food to intercept his path and he ended up grazing me and catching two teeth in my thumb. Thankfully it was the side of my thumb, not the pad.

It didn't phase him at all, and he most likely didn't even notice.

I tried to be stoic but I did utter some choice words. I managed to get his meal into his mouth and him back into his cage before extracting these two snake thorns. Thankfully they're very smooth and came out easily.

Then not even ten minutes later Dextro the corn snake, who it turns out is starting a shed cycle and has reduced vision, jumped past the meal held by my feeding tongs and grabbed my finger and thumb together in a huge bite. He wrapped my entire hand and my tongs, so I couldn't reach his head to tap him or help him disconnect. My middle finger and thumb were pinched together and pierced by two rows of tiny, very sharp needles. He realized his mistake and voluntarily let go after an excruciating 15-20 seconds of me trying to hold very still. At least he had the decency to look embarrassed. He then went back in his enclosure and poked his actual dinner with his nose very thoroughly all over to make sure it was really food and not still my hand before eating it.

My point is that it doesn't matter how much we trust these animals or how well socialized they are. Accidents happen. It's not their fault and I can't be mad at them or even at myself. Anyone who keeps a snake shouldn't ask whether they'll be bitten, but when.

It's just a part of snake keeping!

Day 40 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:

Eastern Montpelier snake (Malpolon insignitus) is the largest European venomous snake. It’s a rear fanged venomous colubrid whose venom is mild, but it can still cause a lot of problems. The venom causes swelling, itching and burning at the place where the snake bit you and it can also cause bad diarrhea. The people who have allergic reactions to the venom can end up developing anaphylaxis and need immediate medical attention. However, nobody has died from this snake’s bite. The venom’s effects wear off in a couple of days.

Overall, getting bitten by this snake is rare. They avoid people in general. However, if you try to catch this idiot it will bite you. This snake has the mentality of “attack is the best defense”, so if you catch it expect it to aggressively bite you and even jump at you. These fuckers are the only native snake I’m uncomfortable around. I feel safer even around vipers who have much stronger venom, but they almost never bite and even if they do they usually don’t release their venom in you (so called “dry bites”).

In Croatian and Serbian they are called “velveđa” which means “big eyebrows”. The ridges above the snake’s eyes look like angry thick eyebrows which just adds to the charm. Western Montpelier snake (Malpolon monspessulanum) is equally angry.
