I’m not really sure why the creator removed the bunny ears for Dr. Huxley’s main sprites in Chapter 2. Because i think the ears made him a little more interesting

Character Name: Dr. Aster Huxley

Fandom: Mnemosyne [Podcast]

Voiced By: Varis Zima

Yarn Used:       Hair: Red Heart Super Saver - Black       Skin: CraftSmart Value - Coffee       Shoes/Trousers: CraftSmart Value - Dark Chocolate       Vest: CraftSmart Value - Taupe       Shirt: Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice - Dusty Purple       Lab Coat: CraftSmart Value - White       Eyes/Mouth: DMC #310

Basic pattern here.

This man is an absolute disaster and we love him for it. The head neurologist at Mnemosyne Space Prison, Huxley is, in his own way, just as much a prisoner as the people he experiments on, and I for one am terrified of what’s going to happen in the rest of this season. (By the way, y’all are sleeping on this podcast - go and listen to it here.)

One thing in particular that I did with Huxley, mostly because I found out it was an option, is that he’s stuffed with black polyfill rather than the traditional white stuff. They had it at Michael’s and I decided it would work better for him. I also realized I pulled my stitches tighter with him than I did with Joseph, so even though I used the same yarn and same size hook, he’s still just slightly smaller than Joseph. Somehow, though, it feels fitting. Other ways Huxley deviates from the standard pattern are as follows:

Shoes: Like with Mini, I didn’t change colors for his soles, so his shoes are a solid dark brown. Otherwise, they are made exactly the same way as Joseph’s. The official art on the Brainrot Presents Patreon shows that his pants don’t quite go all the way to his shoes, so for R8, I switched to his skin color, ch 1, and sc in the back loop of each st around, then did R9 in the same color before switching to his trousers.

Trousers: I did the trousers the same way I did Joseph’s, just beginning with R10 instead of R8.

Vest and Shirt: I followed the same variant for Huxley’s sweater vest as I did for Joseph’s hoodie up until R51. In R51, when I got to the center front of his body, I switched to the shirt color for 1 stitch, then switched back to the vest color around. For R52, the first sc and first inv dec were done in the shirt color before switching back to the vest color. In R53, the first 3 scs were in the shirt color and the rest done in vest color.       R54: Switch to shirt color. Ch 1, sc in front loop of each st around, sl st in first sc (18 sc).       R55: Switch to skin color. Ch 1, sc in back loop of each st around, sl st in first sc (18 sc).

**NOTE: Because of the extra round for Huxley’s neck, all steps from this point on are one round higher than on the standard pattern.

Hair: I once again probably made this way harder on myself than I needed to, but it’s Huxley, so frustrating is kind of the order of the day. I essentially did the same procedure I did with Mini, with two key exceptions. One is that I did the weave all the way up his scalp - Huxley isn’t really the man-bun type - and the other is that, starting with R64…mostly because that’s when I thought of it…I started pulling from both ends of my skein of black (this is a terrible idea and I don’t recommend it if you have literally any other options) and using black for both the scalp and the hair. It probably made things unnecessarily complicated, but I decided I liked the effect. (After a while, things were getting super tangled, so I cut off a small ball from one end and used that for the hair bit.) I also accidentally did an extra round of straight sc in the middle because I lost track of where I was, so his face is a little longer than normal, but it works.

Arms: I did Huxley’s arms the same way I did Joseph’s (using the shirt color rather than the vest color), except that I didn’t do the row of back loop scs after front loop hdcs, so he doesn’t exactly have cuffs on this shirt.

I also put magnets in his hands. To get them to stay in place while I stuffed the hands, I put another magnet on the outside to just hold them in place. It worked.

Lab Coat:  I improvised this as I went, but it worked out. (I also didn’t write it down as I went because I’m an idiot, and trying to count it I have no idea what I actually did where, so.) Basically, I did a ch38, then did rows of dc back and forth until the rectangle went from Huxley’s ankles to his waist. At that point, I started doing an invisible decrease at more or less the midpoint of his back (or as close to it as I could get) until I got up to where his underarms would be. To make the armholes, I worked up to where I wanted them to be in dc, then did a ch 9 and skipped three stitches, joined with a dc, and kept going in the other direction. The next round I did a sc in each chain stitch but dcs in the dcs. I topped it with a row of sc, then another row of sc in back loops only to make the collar. For the sleeves, I joined the yarn to the outside of the armholes and worked six rounds of dc to make them long enough (six rounds was just about perfect).

Does it count if it's only a "rarepair" because the fandom itself is small? Because if so, Huxley/Vic from the Mnemosyne podcast by Brainrot Presents.

Oooh I would say that counts however I can find exactly zero images of these two…

Ellie my birthday is coming up soon!! can I ask how the monsters on campus celebrate the little human's birthday?

omg happy birthday my love!!!! i hope you have/had a wonderful day <333

A lot of monster species don't actually celebrate birthdays, so it's a new concept for them! Some cultures and species acknowledge it but don't have celebrations, some celebrate communal birthdays annually with one huge party for everyone, and others have a variety of practices that vary from place to place and race to race. But anybody who knows even a little bit about humans knows they love to celebrate their day of birth, so they'd work really hard to make you feel welcome and happy even though you're far from home!

For one, a lot of your fellow students and friends will consult professors like Dr. Wellwright for help--their resident harpy and human expert has all sorts of books piled high on his shelves on human behavior, plus he's spent the most time with humans in their own spaces as an alumni of a previously humans-only university, so he has lots of wisdom to offer! He'll help divy up tasks for everyone so all your friends can feel like they're pitching in for you <3 It'll be like its own event on campus: preparing for their first human student's (surprise) birthday party!

Obviously Priam and Anton are heading this operation as your roommates, so their co-operation is tested to the limits as they prepare the dorm with a subtle hand. The party's gonna take place elsewhere so everyone involved can attend, but they've first got to make sure that nothing's out of place for the day itself; cleaning the apartment is one thing, but they're also gonna make sure you get a proper introduction to the day with breakfast and a small present or two--they don't want you to think everyone forgot, after all! So while they're gonna argue about what to make you to eat, and whether or not Priam can wake you with kisses and snuggles (because he cannot be trusted to let you up afterwards!) the shadow that lingers in your room will also prepare by conjuring up some sweet, pleasant dreams to show you the night before you wake up. They want to give you good dreams, but also let you indulge in those sweet, nostalgic memories of home so you have something to look back on fondly the moment you awaken.

In the meanwhile, Jelly and Ollie get tasked with the cake (supervised by prof Aryck, of course) which you would think would be a disaster....and it is! But a tasty one. Ollie wants to make sure the baking is perfect, but Jelly's all wrapped up in making sure you have a selection of everything you could want. So while she's hustling around with a million different ingredients and a dozen different recipes going at the same time, Ollie's rushing behind her to dial down the oven temperatures and fix the mistakes in the batter bowls she leaves behind. By the end the kitchen will be a right mess, and Ollie will be exhausted, but they'll have a spread to be proud of to present to you--and Jelly will clean up the aftermath in the kitchen as recompense. Besides, nobody wants to see Aryck get mad over a careless, left-behind kitchen mess. Your holes would likely never recover

Being the muscle of the operation, the werewolves on the team will task themselves with setting up your party space, with Tentacles offering aid in sprucing up the place and keeping things clean and Huxley bringing along the orcs to build some nice tables and chairs for everyone to use. Initially the plan would be to host it inside, but they'll end up setting everything up out by the beach on the lake--that way you can enjoy the nice weather and have a swim if you'd like! Plus, some of the monsters in attendance (ie. Nessie, the Kraken, Tentacles, Jelly, etc) don't do well without water for long stretches of time, so it's a win-win! They'll also have their resident gorgon August shyly offering up some flower arrangements to decorate with, and though they'll be scarce during the event they'll leave a little present for you behind with a singing snapdragon barette inside.

Lidya and Jude have the task of gathering up entertainment, to which there's no better option than to pull out the big guns and set up the most impressive games they have to offer. Lidya will rig up their biggest DDR-style machine (safely away from the shoreline) along with a bunch of other group games for everyone to play, as well as a couple beach balls and a football to keep the wolves enriched. And whether by choice or through bribery Jude will get his program loaded into the dance machine so he can participate, and so you can see him too!

You wouldn't think it would be a necessity, but Efraim, Zombie, and King Bee all share the responsibility of keeping your birthday a secret, too. As liked as you are by many, there's still enough scrutiny from those other monsters that your friends know there's a chance of them trying to screw it all up. The last thing they want is for some unwanted guests to crash your party or just make you feel bad with mean comments on your special day, so the three of them work for weeks to make sure that nobody that's not invited stumbles upon your party by the beach or even knows it's your birthday until it's all over. As an added precaution, Cyrus guards the event from a respectable distance, so even if someone does come by he can turn them away before they even get close. Nobody in their right mind wants to be on the other end of those hooves anyways.

And there are some who, even if they aren't at your party for long or at all, celebrate in their own little ways with you. Elyos, the statue outside your apartment, hands you a little bouquet when you walk by because the pixies told him about your birthday--and they helped pick the flowers, too! They'll slip you a little card they made alongside it, along with enough birthday kisses to match every year all over your pretty face! And though Isaac is forbidden from attending, he'll still have a gift for you that he sneaks into your pocket as you walk by....but he can't quite bring himself to hand over the letter he wrote and rewrote a hundred times, so that one he keeps to himself. Later, he promises himself.

Some of your profs will make a brief appearance at the event as well, but most of them will stick to cards and small gifts given to you beforehand or after class. Cookies from Aryck, a handmade music box from Sheela, a prized treasure from the Dean's hoard, woven mittens from Mr. M, a raven-feather quill from the Doctor, a spiritual enlightenment pamphlet from the Archangel.....all manner of things, but each one with plenty of thought behind it, you can rest assured. Everyone has so much fun at your party, they'll insist on doing the same next year too! In fact, they all might want to start celebrating more birthdays just so everyone can get together and have fun all over again! You might have to move into a bigger room to fit all the gifts you'll get, though--some of the things the monsters come up with are just wild.

DAMN SQUAD + their favorite pop

damien is not a pop fan, he avidly hates on people for liking pop. but he will enjoy a diet coke once in awhile.

huxley is either a mello yellow fan or like something like ski soda. all i know is that it has citrus undertones. he’s not a big cola fan.

lasko is a fanta guy. like all the flavors but pineapple makes him the happiest.

freelancer is a dr pepper person… need i say more?

gavin likes strawberry soda. like strawberry crush. but deliberately pours it into a cup from the can so he can take out the carbonation.

lasko’s partner is a cherry pepsi fan! because they’re lovely.
