[ Not expecting anyone to just BARGE in, she stared at the door in complete bewilderment. ]

I- um.. I'm fine now.. I have myself bandaged up.

NOT COUNTING ROCKS (unless it’s a specific fossil from a time period you can name) or buildings (you cannot hold those)…

[aterfish]

My dude. There are pretty rocks everywhere. And you can just pick them up and take home with you. This world is full of treasures fr

Trivia Answer!

If you said Endoceras, you were right!

Endoceras got up 9.8ft (3m) and some estimates put it at twice that size! That's nearly 19ft in length!

My friend said he hates taxonomists because they make stuff up. (There was also a rant about fish not existing and birds being reptiles mixed in there, but yeah). What's your opinion on this, as a taxonimist?

I was having a similar debate with a sixteen-foot tall animated candelabra the other day. No idea where they get it from.

[queen-of-vees]

I'm asking all the Vees. What's your least favorite/most hated thing about each overlord?

Ok.. hm

Vox I like because of his bank card hes reasonable and ambitious.. something we share. His uncanny obsession with a certain RADIO DEMON is a bit off putting.. and his stalking tendencies. @ask-vox-anythin

Valentino is great because of his fashion sense, I literally adore going shopping with that man. But.. he's a horns little shit sometimes.. @valentino-thevee

Carmilla Carmine is an absolute BITCH! I hate her guts. But, her daughters are cute so not too much hate. @theweaponsoverlord

Alastor.. I kinda like him? His idea of broadcasting screams was just amazing.. but, he's old, and I don't want to be infected with that old ass attitude. That and Vox would kill me if I showed ANY interest into his killing hobbies. @xxsmilingdeerxx

Zestial is just.. ew. Period. @ask-zestial

Rosie is amazing, no hate WHATSOEVER... other than the fact she could probably cannibalise me. Literally her outfits eats up and I totally support her eating her husbands. #womens-empowerment. @sweetauntrosie

I think there's a Frederick something or another.. haven't really spoken to him so no judgement except that he should get a better outfit.

have an extra cat hc as a thanks for those delicious shelly hcs (praying for more 🙏)

Cats love warm and cozy places, no wonder they love sleeping near fireplaces or heaters. Well Vee, being a robot and all that, feels much more comfortable in colder environments because she doesn't overheat as easily in them. This, in combination with her love for tight, cozy spaces has led to the fridge being her number 1 victim. There have been countless times where Shelly would be looking for her at her usual hiding spots embty handed, only to find her upside-down inside the fridge- God forbid the fridge is full with stuff, she will remove it's contents just so she can fit inside and chill (literally). It's safe to say that Winter would be her favourite season for this reason.

I like to imagine that Shelly would be the opposite of this- she CANNOT stand the cold. In Winter time she's a shivering mess (if there's no internal heating in the building). She needs at least 2 layers of clothing just to feel warm enough to function (poor thang 💔). Vee would totally open their bedroom window in a cold snowy morning to enjoy some fresh air while Shelly would be curled up under her many layers of blankets and contemplating whether or not to throw a brick at Vee for opening the damn window again. She can withstand the heat wayyy better than your average human though. Sitting on a hot summer beach for 6 hours straight digging around for pretty clams and rocks would probably be her favourite Summer activity. Unfortunately she wouldn't be able to bring her robowife at the beach because the sand and the heat would probably kill her LMAO.

-cat vee anon

You know, you and me here, we had the same thought process, just different reasons. I'll explain don't worry XD

I always imagined that Vee would like dark places, and would curl up in thee darkest areas of the house for comfort, as I believe she's mentally ill and finds bright lights and loud noises extremely jarring and uncomfortable outside of her gameshows. So she'd find the quietest, darkest area of the house - the fridge. At first they'd just find a little bit of food kicked out of the fridge and think she forgot to put away stuff she moved out of the way to help Shelly make herself meals, but they'd open the fridge and always find Vee curled up on the bottom shelf, fast asleep. This leads to them never using that shelf for food, that's Vee's shelf now, that's where she goes. She especially does this in the summer, as Gardenview had temperatures regulated so it was always the same temp year round but Shanon obviously does not have that. She's just an autistic dinosaur fangirl who works at a daycare after all, not the owner of a massive educational center and museum. She just lives in a random ass 3 bedroom house that she inherited, of course she's not going to have the same temperature regulation tech Gardenview has. Vee very much tends to overheat constantly in the summer, and the two have never been more grateful she's a robot as she tends to go back to wearing just a bowtie in the summer, though they do learn she does have very cute details programmed into her when she's hot. Veronica did that, let's be real, she'd definitely program Vee to have digital sweat and blush when her systems are starting to overheat so they know what's going on with her. An unintended side effect of this is Vee panting like a dog when she's way too hot, which they all find really cute, but they never see her doing it unless she's literally about to shut down from over heating. Which is sad, they love seeing her act cute 💔

You're absolutely right about Shelly though, that fossil is DEFINITELY reptile coded - she's a fucking dinosaur though so I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to say that pfft. She'd love being at the beach, being in her sand pits, wearing sundresses and basking in the heat of summer. She'd go to the beach with Shanon often and come home with a large bucket of seashells just to show them off to Vee, telling her everything about what could've lived inside of them, and Vee eats it all up she loves when Shelly autisms near her. Shelly would go on for literal days about her shells if she didn't need to sleep, eat and drink, and Vee would happily listen to it all, even if she's overheating and uncomfortable as shit. I love to imagine Shanon buying Vee those cooling mats for dogs so she could sprawl out on them and be around Shelly more during the summer, because Vee would absolutely use those to keep cool and be near her beloved.

I feel like they'd come to agreement on the window thing though, as Shelly would die to have hot air come in during the summer. They'd both have 20 minutes alone in their room during their favorite season every morning just to bask in the air with the window open, and be allowed to open it again if the other isn't home/in another room as long as they close it when they come in (they do). They're not the kind of couple that would purposely piss off each other, unless they're just teasing each other and not actually getting mad at each other. Sure they'd have married couple arguments here and there, but nothing they can't make compromises on. Shelly gets her 20 minutes of hot summer air in their room every summer morning, Vee gets her 20 minutes of cold winter air every winter morning, and they both chill with the windows open in the spring and fall because they both enjoy those seasons. Win win.

Oh yeah that poor fossil would be absolutely bedridden a LOT in the winter, shivering constantly, has a cold/flu 90% of the time, always in a bundle of blankets and under a heat lamp. Vee and Shanon hunt down thee thickest, warmest clothes for her every winter, but its never enough. Thankfully Vee would rarely ask Shelly to go outside in the winter though (snow = water) so she'd always have a reason to be bundled up on the couch now, and often be snuggled up with her favorite lil tv and watching Christmas movies with her. Or singing songs by the fireplace with a cup of cocoa in her claws, her robot wife playing the guitar not far from her and enjoying life. Vee always makes her the best soups to keep her warm too... Even though nobody but Vee knows how she knows how to make such good soups. (Spoiler - Sprout taught her) Vee will never admit how she learned, saying it's a chef's secret, though it tastes oddly familiar to Shelly. Shelly stops questioning the fifth time she asked tho, she knows Vee's a stubborn ass when she wants to be, she'll never reveal her secrets until she wants to.

Poor Shanon though, she has so many more bills to pay now, she has to try to keep them both comfortable year round with their vastly different needs. She's just happy they're alive and well though.

(Also congrats on embracing your anon name, I'm still incredibly happy you love it! ♡)

give me a good job too 🥹

[odinsblog]

did you hear... biden just created the american climate corps. civilian climate corps!!!! I'm in shock. in the best way

@skypalacearchitect

Yes, and I am cautiously optimistic. It’s one step in the right direction. While not as large as originally proposed, and not nearly as big as the Civilian Conservation Corps that it was fashioned after, hopefully the Civilian Climate Corps will be more than a pandering device used to deflect from other serious environmental policy shortcomings. I understand that Biden is (sometimes) limited by Congressional Republicans, but I have some serious environmental gripes with the Biden Administration. However, in this specific instance, I think it’s important to not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

So yeah, I’ll definitely give credit where it’s due: This is a very good and necessary step, especially given the current political status of (Republican) climate change denialism.

[pixierainbows]

Important question, because I want to play Animal Crossing, but haven't got the chance to yet, where did you get those fossils?

is see on empty dirt a x thing and dig there with shovel to get !

Pixie already have full museum but still like dig dig dig

[pkmnrangerfiles]

HOW DO YOU VACCINATE A ROCK TYPE?!?!?!

quickly and carefully haha!

despite what the typing may suggest, not all rock types* are made of rock, and most of our residents are in fact covered in either a mix of scales or finely-overlapping feathers, which you can inject between

as for something like a roggenrola…yeah, well, you may have to convince the lil guys to take something orally, much like our Hoenn fossils (whose biology is a little more tricky to just inject)

*i was actually going to add an addendum about fossil rock-typing but it turned out to be a bit lengthy so imma make a separate post for it lol. in the meantime here's my boy very excited that i bought him a massive chew bone for sitting so nicely for vaccines

Trivia Tuesday!

The answer is actually higher than you think! It's between 20 and 30. The reason we don't have a definitive answer is because so many Cambrian animals are difficult to place. Some of the groups that were present include:

echinoderms

worms

sponges

brachiopods

arthropods

and chordates.
