They can grind their pharyngeal teeth to create clicking noises, which they use to communicate with one another! These fish are well known for their funny behaviour, like sleeping on their side and piling on top of their fellow conspecifics.
Happy Fathers Day, I'm finally on time for something!!! I don't have that much flavor this time though folks. just sweetness. that's it. hope that's cool, never too bad.
if you think this is anything but platonic then no, plz. away
I appeared within the Unknown in one of @ruruss 's dreams, and it inspired me to finally sit down and draw a little otgw-sona :D
It was more for the fun of the doodle, I didn't think too hard on the Lore TM, but I think she'd be from the real world and kinda overstaying her welcome in the Unknown. Not tree-level of giving up on going home, just dragging her feet about it and constantly finding new excuses to put it off lol
Guess who is the happiest person in the world! 'Because today I received @snow124-art‘s precious artbooks...✨ Seriously can't believe that but my dreams came true!! This was definitely worth the wait. Look how beautiful it is!
(I didn't want to show all pages because there are some surprises inside of it, but I won't tell muhahah)
P.S. If you want to buy one of Snow's precious artbooks, you need to talk to her about it first. Because sadly, she cannot ship to all countries due to the current situation of her country. But you can still ask her here or here if she can ship to your country or not (don't worry, she said she had plenty of free time for this and would be happy to answer each of you x))))
She also sent them to me with a little bday wish card. 'Cause she's the most beautiful soul I've ever met! Well, I promised myself that I won't cry any more today, so don't expect me to write long articles here now... Just, thank you Snow for all these precious! You don't know how much you've done for me...... Thank you 🙏❤️
hiii so i'm pretty sure i'm a robotkin, can i just ask ya how you confirmed you're one? what resources ya used to confirm your identity, anything like that?
im not entirely sure how i confirmed it tbh my brain just went 'So youre a robot now' and i went with it. this strategy is not very helpful at all though
i guess like part of it was how i tended to appear in my little maladaptive daydreaming land. like 99% of the time for the past 4 years i have been a robot and only recently have i been a zombie its more like a 50/50 ratio of zombie to robot now
anyways it got me thinking about Why i needed to see myself as a robot so bad and at some point i didnt even need to ask myself . like i was just a robot

ME?!?!??! VANISHED!??!?! I WOULD NEVER!!!!!! I WOULDN'T JUST DISAPPEAR W/O GIVING THE HOMIES A HEADS UP (unless i get lazy to inform lol)
All jokes aside, I'm still here babes, dw. I'm just slowly getting my ass back to school and dealing with mental health stuff due to family wowowow dont worry ill be posting every now and then ;3;
right so i got my hair cut yesterday and mind you when im at uni my haircutting options are to get my one mate to do it (she's surprisingly good but can get very scissor happy) OR cut my own bangs in the sink with cuticle scissors at midnight while my automatic light turns off every five seconds. no that's not hyperspecifc what do you mean. anyway i got my hair cut yesterday and BY THE PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSER THAT DOES MY MUM AND SISTER'S HAIR. now this lady has been doing our hair for over a decade she's very chill she knows us very well i stress her out a lot bc every time i see her im like 'i want to [insert crazy hair idea here]' and she's like orrrr what if we didn't? BUT yesterday i was like i want my hair short again i hate that it's grown to touch my shoulders bc it curls weird. and what i was aiming for was literally just to replicate what my friend does for me back at uni where she just cuts it to my jaw and that's that nothing too complicated, BUT like i said this lady is a skilled professional AND she knows me in both a style sense and what she knows i'd like and in the sense of i really dont give a fuck about my hair so she knows she can have a lil fun with it, and basically long story short i have a wolf cut now
WHAT DO YOU MEAAANNN "MID" THAT COMIC GOES SO HARD AND NOT FOR ANYTHING... THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT VERBATIM... THIS GOES HARD. Incredibly effective composition and symbolism and use of values and shadow on the first page ESPECIALLY (I would love to hear what the third eye symbolizes as mentioned in your tags :) ) but. But. But like. Masato being Arakawa's comfort and not recognizing it and certainly not remembering it when he's older... despite how much it means to Arakawa in the moment... owwww owwie
I was gonna ramble about how much it hits home to depict Yoko as non-human because the nightmares that have stuck with the most about my mom were like that But Enough Of That We Get It... at any rate, as always, take care and I hope you get some good news soon!
thank you so much ♪(´▽`) !! it generally felt like somethin i dont really post (but horror/blood is something i really love and love to draw), so its why i was especially excited to share it and see what people thought: im glad people like it from what i see (❁´◡`❁) ! and im glad the lack of color wasn't anything detrimental- it might have worked better in this instance. maybe.
i dont ever 'title' things per say since i feel weird doin it BUT i guess captions serve as the title sometimes. so the caption 'matrophobia' is really ironic with that whole aspect in relation to masato being arakawa's Everything: on the one hand, it can just be a general fear of your mother, but on the other hand it could also be the fear of becoming like your mother. if i ever intended to go through with a jo variant, 'patrophobia' would for sure be the title with that ambiguity in mind, but (and i suppose in both instances) with this its more ironic here since masato is the one who ends up the most like his parents' abusers- which ultimately just makes things more bittersweet in that moment dont it (´▽` ;;;) on top of masato being arakawa's comfort, it's not just masato himself being the only reason: tying back into the alt. meaning of matrophobia, it's also a relief for arakawa in that he didn't turn out like his mother- which, again, makes everything so bittersweet in the end. its like spiders in my brain when it comes to that whole aspect in regards to the arakawa family's history and dynamics...... it makes me insane to be blunt ☠️
ah but yeah ! i decided to make her an actual perceivable monster so people who. DON'T. have issues with either of their parents could get a better feeling of what it is like to have a troublesome parent/s (id rather see wolves in my dreams than my mom on that note- even if they were going to bite my face off ( ´◡` ;;; ) ). i ran out of tags before i could make any more notes i had while drawing (;´x`) but i do have more and i'll be glad to explain the missing eye bit ! under the cut since it'll just be me rambling bout symbolism ig and its gonna get long (´▽`;;; )
when it came to the third/center eye being missing specifically, i did it in relation to how the third eye can relate to enlightenment or higher knowledge. definitely just as a result of projection, but its cause all the time when i was growing up my mom would not only assert and act as if Her Way Was The Right Way and that she knew everything, but that i should only go to her if i needed help and no one else could help me- hence it being missing being a reflection of how that notion isn't true (or always true i should say). as en extension, it's also a dig at how enlightened persons are supposed to help others reach enlightenment- yk, guide them. yet, again, in this case, they're only doing harm.
that's all for the third eye bit, but also just some other things i didnt have room to ramble bout last post: i had her lips be torn away to constantly show her fangs since. well. i dont have to explain it i guess: its just meant to highlight the never ending feeling of danger when around her (and the promise of danger). her nose being gone is purposeful too: in animals, the smell of your family's significant and it helps you find out Which One Is Yours right. in her nose being gone- again, more projection and personal problems on my part- it's a way to emphasize the separation between mother and child: 'you're no longer my kid anymore, i can't even recognize your scent'. of course, that's only to the mother: she is the only one no longer able to say they're family because she can't smell that shared scent anymore. in reality, they could very much smell the same, it's just the mother's unwilling to accept that anymore.
i know i mentioned the flowers in my initial post, but her wearing a flower shirt really was convenient since it allowed me to add those thorns and vines. when you have a troublesome parent like that, the feeling of not just being trapped is there, but it's painful- it's not something you can deal with quietly. even if you're not interacting with the parent directly, the thought of their presence or the unfortunate thoughts that come about as a result of having been around them so long are a constant thorn in the side. if i may make a pun ( ´uゝ` )
alright NOW i think i've covered everything i wanted to. without all the symbolism aside, i hope she at least looks grotesque for people to enjoy without the added thought- and i hope i didn't overdue it. in any case im glad you enjoyed it !! i hope you'll enjoy the next comic i get out (❁´◡`❁) if i ever start it and i dont abandon it midway through ( ❁´◡`❁ ;;;)
another Dhmis theory that has nothing to do with the theory I mainly have :D
Why the parents of Yellow Guy/David (Roy and Lesly) torture him?
Because they have a grudge and hatred.
How many already have this theory, Red Guy is Yellow Guy's brother, adopted or not, is the Brother
ㅤㅤ
now. Imagine this
it was a sunny day in Mulhoven, that afternoon two brothers were playing outside, probably with a kite or chasing birds, everything was joy and fun.
suddenly the kite (or the bird) leaves the patio of the house, and crosses the road.
one of the brothers, in his innocence, runs to catch up, without realizing that a car was passing through the area, running over the child.
the other brother simply did not know what to do, he was just shocked seeing the bloody and motionless body of his brother.
Immediately the parents (Roy and Lesly) leave the house to see the accident, getting scared when they see the body of their son.
they could not save the child. red guy had died in the accident.
in their despair and depression.
they blamed their other son for the accident.
yellow guy was just a child, he certainly did not know what to do in that situation other than to agree with his parents, and blame himself for what happened to his brother.
but that was not enough for his parents.
In revenge they began to torture him, forcing him to be the protagonist of a twisted program that would be aimed at a smaller audience. (or maybe they didn't force him, they just told him to do it and being a kid he had no choice, this would be a reason why sometimes yellow guy doesn't seem to be acting, but rather seems to really feel like it's really happening, like in the last episode of season one, in which he seemed not to act, he was only expressing what he really felt, fear. And when he 'really acts', he does it quite noticeably and badly)
making him suffer with wrong ideals.
maybe there was a pact with some demon, or it is just the madness of both parents wanting to punish their son for the death of his brother
ㅤㅤ
Now let's get back to reality.
It's true that the yellow guy's torture is more noticeable in the first season, but the bias that it's a twisted kids' show still exists in the second season.
as we can see when 'the lamp' talks to yellow guy about what happens after death, he talks about reliving our life but as a performance for a superior race like the council (the children's audience)
or when in chapter three that was supposed to talk about healthy food, but it was replaced by a family theme, or chapter four that was going to talk about 'online life' but was replaced by friendship. In both cases the protagonists looked confused, as if they knew that things were not going that way and there was a change in the scene.
in both seasons it is still a children's program but with one goal, to punish his son
the difference is that in the second season they seem to have lost their memory after the recession in the last chapter of the first season.
they don't seem to act, but they think that these are really their lives, they think that they just have to wait for something to happen, they don't know about a hidden recording set, they just follow their lives, or what for them is a life.
the only one who seems to notice is red guy, in both seasons.
in the first he was simply fed up with the change of scripts, and in the second something told him that this place was not right, and he had to escape
this because he is the only one who is not really alive in that place. since he died in the traffic accident
It is true that Duck in the first season realized the contradictions and knew that something was wrong, that's why he tried to escape. In the second he didn't even care
but the only one who never knew was Yellow Guy, because the purpose was to torture him, preventing him from thinking clearly what was happening, and it is that not even the intelligent version of him could deduce that it was a program
ㅤㅤ
well... end of theory (I think)
let me know if you have any doubts or want to add something, remember that I am not an English speaker, so I apologize if you noticed any mistakes
