Want to hang out with the Kinito Crew? :)

------

I don't really know the lore for my Kinito group, I just like drawing them hanging out with the user. There is hints of ideas of story, like the idea of virus attacks and the user being in the web world, but other than that, nothing much. If anyone got ideas, im open to hear them.

Anyways, that's all I got. Hope you all have good day/night!

[seeminglydark]

Postman Mick Martinez gets more than he bargained for when he picks up a silent young hitchhiker who is unable to communicate the depths of the darkness that lurks within him. The mute stranger carries a shadowy beast who may bring about the apocalypse, but a grief-stricken Mick is preoccupied with demons of his own, including the brutal death of his beloved husband and a feisty teenage daughter with strange, supernatural powers.

Luckily, Mick's not alone. If there's one thing his friends at Brew, the local punk rock café, know, it's to face hard times head on with a daily dose of coffee and hope. Of course, hope is hard to find, and Mick’s not the only one with baggage. Between managing Brew and trying to solve her brother’s murder, his sister-in-law Maddie wants to save the world, even if it means losing herself. Ex-con barista Johnny O'Sullivan struggles with the scars of his turbulent past, unable to escape the shadow of his abusive father. Café regular and celebrity ghost hunter Caro Greene faces an existential crisis every day, as they cope with the dual demands of internet fame and regular encounters with the supernatural.

In one way or another, the Brew crew’s lives intertwine, and their bonds of friendship and love help give them the strength they need to discover the pieces of themselves they’re seeking. But there's darkness descending, and shadows are falling over the town of ValleyRidge. With the help of a friendly ghost, Mick and his friends must unravel the secrets that bind the mysterious hitchhiker's tongue and discover how to save him, each other, and the world itself.

(Some where along the way i realized I never shared the Summary or Cover for my Main Project, Seemingly Dark, but here it is! Check it out on Webtoon or Early Access on Tapas!)

“Home doesn’t exist anymore… because of you!”

Sonic Prime was great and I can’t wait to see what happens next. There are still so many questions that we have unanswered. But listen y’all Sonic is gonna need therapy.

!!!!SPOILERS(sort of)!!!!

And its a lot of reading, like if you are going to read this next part sit down and be ready for bad grammar and to think critically

What Sonic is going through in Prime felt like/reminded me of the metal virus and or lost world. In those stories the basics are: Sonic doesn’t listen, does something impulsive, makes the issue worse, everyone gets on the ‘Sonics fault’ bandwagon sooner or later and yells at him; people expect Sonic to fix everything, forgetting that he is a living being too who needs food, rest, support, to fix the problem. In past games Sonic seemed too happy in the face of the grave situations he was faced with. For the sake of argument, to me this is Sonic putting his ‘hero’ persona on to inspire hope in those around him. And maybe to try and fool himself as well. But in recent stories, and under certain writers, Sonic has matured to show more emotion and vulnerability to better flow with the dark themes his adventures address. Some great examples of this are Unleashed, Frontiers, and of course the metal virus saga. To clarify, I’m speaking in reference to the difference between: Sonic showing genuine emotion of (mostly) any kind [typically when by himself as an internal monologue or when around 1+ of his very close friends] vs. Sonic being exaggeratively bravo, trash talking his opponent(s), overly optimistic, and narcissistic [typically dawned while enemies or someone whom he met recently or doesn’t see often are present or when he his in public/has a lot of eyes on him]. Think Sonic in the Tail’s “am I a burden?” Scene in Frontiers vs. Sonic being allegedly in prison and tortured for 6 months after he gets his behind handed to him yet seeming fine and as confident as before once a complete stranger comes and saves him in Forces. Also to note, if it wasn’t clear, Sonics impulsiveness, impatience, quick-wit, fast learning/adapting nature, creativity, sense of justice, and ‘valuing his friends/family’ mindset is shared and holds strong across the board. They’re skills, traits, and morals that shape the spiky blue speedsters opinions and views; his personality. Those things are just who he is. Woo! That was lengthy but theres more, I bring this all up because in Prime I saw hints of both: the too-happy/‘hero’ persona Sonic who’s sassy, snarky, and a bit of an a-hole and the Sonic who feels the pain, would sacrifice a world/universe (hehe) for his friends, is Tails’ (adoptive and unofficial) big brother. This shows that Prime has a lot of potential and Prime!Sonic has a lot of layers yet to be explored as a person. Which may shed light on what Sonics personal and mental journey might hopefully for me be as the story is told. I just hope either Sonic snaps, breaks down and cries or yells and rants about (not killing anyone or a villain arc, just not yet) or if Sonic is gonna be able to keep it together til the end we see him get his trauma addressed. Either way blue is gonna shed tears and its all I can ask for.

Why has no one put a fursuit in a contemporary art museum? It would be bold, fresh, unique, and attract the youths!

Getting more serious now, fursuiting IS performance arts. Sure the fursuit itself and the character design are also art but it's just not the same thing if the fursuit is just on a display or mannequin.

We've grown too accustomed to devaluing art that isn't successful, so much so that we started calling it just "content". It's like calling home cooking "slop".

The body of the Flatlander: Lines

CY'S BACK AT IT WITH THE FLATBIO POSTS!

Remember: I am not a scientist/biologist/etcetera! I'm just some kid!

Remember 2: I should start looking into the possibility of getting someone to help me write IDs for these posts and the Flatland Encyclopaedia, because I can't do it always.

front endpoint of a Line

This has been sitting on my drafts since July 11 but I cant bring myself to finish the other endpoint or use my keyboard [my office is too hot] so I'm terribly sorry for the half baked post.

The eye is the brightest part of the body. You could argue that Lines have two eyes because of the division that allows them to breathe.. but it doesnt disrupt the brightness so meh. One eye.

I suppose that suction to the eye [through the respiratory hole sucking air in] could be another way for them to grab things, for as long as they can hold their breath.

Talking about holding their breath, they don't need air to perform their peace cry or to speak. Flatlanders have a tymbal-like organ, like an insect. So they can speak while eating etc. Some sounds do need air, but theyre mostly related to emotion and are used in conjugation to their tymbal chirps.

Around the Line's tymbal, above the lung, lays the occipital lobe and receptors. The receptors of the eye of a Flatlander are sensitive to light [Sight] and also extremely sensitive to touch [Feeling] – the occipital lobe's primary visual cortex right under the eye handles the information it receives and directs the tymbal.

The primary visual cortex's transmitters send and receive information and directions from the eye+vocal through the space that separates them [the lung] from the main brain. The other half of the occipital connects to the rest of the brain.

Under the brain, which extends for the vast majority of the Line's body, is the centroid/heart, which isnt actually situated at the center of the Line. [Still not 100% sure whether they have hearts, but I like the geometry reference—]

Under that is the digestive system. The "throat" from stomach to mouth is off to the side. On the other side is the reproductive system/womb. At last there's the mouth/beak, which unlike the eyepoint is much sharper. You can still die if you're stabbed by the frontpoint. Don't get cocky.

I see, so you watch worlds. I was wondering why this world was sort of empty, but if you are the only one here, then I must ask: How did you end up here?

Is this truly a world of it's own or simply a hub between many worlds? And of course, does this mean that you know that my world and it's inhabitants as well?

”As for this place and how I came to be? Let me tell you a story of my own dear arceus.

This is indeed a hub between the worlds, the gap between dimensions that keeps them separate. When a world is created, usually by the birth of its arceus, it appears here. All worlds generate a certain type of energy that collects in this void. This energy is what usually helps in the creation of a world.

But with more worlds there is more energy, more than enough for creation, and it builds up. As this energy built it began to sense things, see things. It wanted to touch the worlds, to see them and play with them. But it hurt. Without its own form the worlds would take back its energy. It became angry. It began to take for itself, destroying worlds.

One day an arceus left its world to enter the void. They had failed in their attempts to create and their universe and was nothing but barren for centuries. They had given up.

Upon entering the void they noticed the strange energy. The arceus watched as it destroyed world after world and so they approached. “Why do you destroy?” They asked.

The energy had never seen another in the void and stopped. It considered the question and showed them how the worlds hurt and stole so it stole instead.

“But there are so many beautiful things that have been created, wouldn’t you rather look at them?” They asked in return, “if they are destroyed you can not appreciate them anymore.”

The energy wanted nothing more than to interact with the worlds. But without a form it couldn’t.

The arceus realized this and decided they could try to create one more time. They held the energy gently and used it to form it a body. It wasn’t perfect, the arceus was never good at creation and the void is a strange place, but it worked. And a mew was born.

The arceus taught them how to watch, how to appreciate the stories and encouraged the mews curiosity, wanting it to help the worlds it once destroyed. Eventually the arceus had to leave, to return to their own world to try again. Leaving me to stay in the void.”

Specposium's Spectember day 13: Xenobiology

Today i wanted to figure out the evolutionary history of the main group of my aliens.

Transcript of the text:

1. Earliest Last Common Ancestor:

One of the earliest animals on the planet.

Fed on detritus and algae on the sea floor.

2. Specialized ancestor:

Still uses osteoderms in the back for protection.

Eyespots set in stalks.

Developed 7 pairs of legs.

More developed radula.

More organ complexity.

3. Ancestor of modern groups:

Original armor got internalized.

Sclerotized cuticle.

Beak in the end of the proboscis.

Complex eyes.

First pair of limbs turned into claspers.

Internal leg bones divided into segments.

4_5. Terrestrials:

Derived from the same ancestor.

4 is bug-like, flexible number of leg segments and flexible trunk.

5 is tetrapod-like, fixed number of 5 leg segments with flexible number of antennae segments.

Fused bone rings, rigid trunk.

No osteoderms to reduce weight.

So basically what i thought here was that the earliest ancestor of this superphyllum(there are other three subphyla more or less) was a chiton-like animal, it had a long body with bony plates in their backs as defense(and storage of minerals), it had two simple eyespots on each side of the "head" and also a simple radula for rasping and processing food.

Second group of animals is more specialized, they developed 7 pairs of limbs to move around more quickly, two eyestalks containing the simple eyes, a more specialized radula inside a longer proboscis and the osteoderms form a "shell" of sorts, kinda like that of armadillos, not sure if they would be able to retract into the shell but probably.

Now to an animal even more derived, as this(and other animal groups) started to move into freshwater after the evolution of terrestrial plants and opening of new ecosystems, internalized the shell of more primitive forms into the body, forming rings of bones who sustained the body and also gave more flexibility, they developed osteoderms again, but now individual ones instead of one single large osteoderm. They have turned their first set of limbs into claspers to hold onto partners during reproduction. All limbs have a highly variable number of vertebrae-like bones in the inside. They have a tougher skin similar to velvet worms(maybe?), better eyes and also developed a beak as they developed a more carnivorous but principally more scavenging-based diet in order to break bones and exoskeletons.

The last creatures were originally descendants of the same common ancestor but i think they should be independent cases of terrestrial lifestyle. The smaller group evolved to be small but more flexible, having loose bone rings sustaining their body, they retained the variable number of leg bones, they initially ate a variety of food as a group.

The larger group traded torso flexibility over sustainment for the body structure by fusing their ring bones. They hunted the bug-like group on land but would eventually expand into a variety of niches. Both groups have initially lost their osteoderms in order to be lighter on land but some groups evolved osteoderms again.

Hope this all makes sense.

[redfirefox-55]

I’ve been thinking about it for awhile, and I think I’ve pinned down the reason why I love both of the Travelers and Dainsleif’s dynamics so much in Genshin.

The idea that, even if you’ve lost yourself, “turned to the dark side” or just gone off the deep end, your friends and family will always fight to get you back. Even if you’ve at some point tried to push them away.

The abyss twin, who has clearly gone through a lot in the past 500 years since the cataclysm and being separated from their only kin, at some point gave up. They had already traveled to the ends of the earth and back looking for their sibling and came back empty handed.

For reasons currently unknown they deemed Dainseif, their former friend and travel companion, a traitor, they may have assumed the Traveler was dead, or simply unreachable, and turned to the abyss for solutions to their problems.

All of that didn’t stop Dainsleif from going after them though, to the point where he will challenge the Traveler to a duel to prove they were worthy of saving the abyss twin.

(Also the audacity he has, making them prove themselves to him is hilarious to me. And on a kind of unrelated note, I love the line literally right after this about how he will “always remember how much she too loved these flowers.” It’s just so sweet and sad)

And I know I’ve talked about their dynamic multiple times at this point but of course the Traveler still hasn’t stopped looking for their sibling.

Even after they technically found them, they haven’t given up their search. Even after the abyss twin left them in that cave with zero answers, even after they saw how much they’ve changed since they were separated, and even after their morally questionable actions in the Chasm. The Traveler hasn’t turned their back on them.

Why? Because they love them, and they know what kind of person they are at heart.

I just love the idea that love conquers all, and the people that truly care about you will drag you from the very depths of the abyss, simply because they love you.

And I have no idea what happened between Dainsleif and the Abyss twin, why they decided he was their enemy and what he did to have them consider him a traitor. But it seems to me that even after they ditched him for the abyss, he still cares about them.

I mean considering the fact that the only time he ever remotely talked bad about them to the Traveler was when he called them stubborn (and from the character trailers it seems that Dainsleif has very strong opinions about people) he still seems found of them.

Maybe I’m insane and am the only one that thinks this way, but all that to say that I just adore the family/found family dynamics the three of them have.

Also I can’t wait to see Dainsleif and the Traveler bond more. I wonder what that will look like, and how closely it will mirror Dainsleif’s friendship with their twin.

“Miss Yui, if you don’t mind erm.. could you show me how you manage to pick up dropped pallets?” - Cairo | @ask-dbd-oc-quadrant-squad

“I brought Lee-san with me so she can help explain also, to prove anyone can do it, not just someone with muscles. though strong legs and arms help a lot!”

Ms.Lee nods.

“So those pallets are no easy thing, they’re really large with a lot of surface area and surprisingly heavy which can be a challenge to lift. I heard it’s why no one here at the campfire ever tried before I came. It wasn’t worth it for them to waste seconds in the race against death- but because I came from riding bikes, I knew that if there’s a crash, you want to get everything back up as quick as possible and out of the path.” 

“Sorry for the long story, but yeah, you’ll want to make sure you are engaging your legs more than your back and arms so you don’t put pressure on your spine or pull anything. This means having to squat, like when doing a deadlift. Keep your legs apart, and your butt needs to get low, but don’t bend your back at all! You should absolutely never be hunched over a heavy object. Now make sure you rest your arms on your thighs if you have to and get your hands and forearms under the the pallet. That’s the first step. Then you’ll want to position your body as close as possible to the pallet, this means needing to rock your weight under it with small lifts and adjusting your legs with a wide stance until the pallet is just to the elbows and over your thighs. Once you’re in this final position, If you can, take a deep breath to make sure everything is nice and tight- if you can’t because your belly is on your legs, be sure to take a breath before lowering- this means holding it for a while when positioning, but that can make you light headed, so when you rock your weight be sure to take in breaths before each lift. With your body nice and full with air, start to stand up. Be sure to not twist your body at all! Just focus on lifting your arms straight up once the pallet gets to your chest. You’ll feel it in your shoulders and biceps, but that’s okay, just never feel it in your spine, because you can slip a disk.” 

“It can be difficult at first... but it is doable. How often though, well you might need longer breaks in between for your body to recover.”

👨, 👩 , and 🌺? :3c

@grimmshood

👨 - What is your muse’s relationship like with their father? Is it good, bad, or complicated? 👩 - What is your muse’s relationship like with their mother? Is it good, bad, or complicated?

Jiwoon lit up at the thought of someone asking about his parents.

"우리아빠 엄마? I gave them a good and comfortable life! I encouraged them to retire, but they said it wouldn't feel right to stop working; that the family restaurant made them happy and I brought them plenty of business already. Either way, they're very proud of me as their son and that I'm successfully doing something that I love too. They know how hard I worked and were always worried about me... but they said we were very strong and resilient people. No matter where we were, they were supporting me and happy that I carried part of our home with me while still performing knife tricks, for the world now with my own passion for music, instead of only in a restaurant to tourists. I owe my most unique instruments and performances to them."

Left to ponder, he thought of where he was now and how little he actually got to see them. Everything had a price and becoming legendary held a steep one; claiming time from friends, family, and normality. Still, he wouldn't change anything if given the chance; he grew out of needing those commodities of life so long ago, and now? Well, he was legendary.

"If you want to know individually though... My dad was a warm-hearted and talentedly creative man. With music, he met my mom, but he gave up his dreams of pursuing a musical path to become a hard-working man and support his family. Some people say we got lucky when the IMF crisis happened, but really my parents were just smart enough to make it work, both of them running a business and planning well. His military experience let him know what foreigners were like and in turn, I learned a lot from him and how to entertain people who already see a lot of action. When I went to a concert with him, I understood what people felt when they saw me; something new and amazing; I wanted to do that too, and he was happy to share a love of music and supported me. He's a wise man with kind eyes and the best 군만두 (pan-fried dumplings)."

"My mom taught me how to be strong, clever, and unique since she was a smart career woman who got laid off when she was pregnant. Unable to find a job in the workforce, she and my dad decided to run the restaurant together. My dad supported the family and she focused on our business' reputation. It was thanks to her that we figured out how to include my skills in the restaurant to set us apart. When I had an interest, she would make sure I practiced safely and even bought me my first beginner knives. She told me that no matter what other people think, never let them stop me from being special; also to think before I speak, understand people by listening to them, and to not let other people tell me my worth. She's loving, protective, and spirited. I think the special things she made were the best... 미역국 (Seaweed soup) for birthdays and 시루떡 (Red-bean rice cake) for offerings."

Yeah. He made it however he could; reclaiming what made him unique. Trickster will certainly never be forgotten again. He hopes they're still proud and can manage to retire peacefully.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

🌺 - Does your muse have a favorite flower? Why do they like it?

"I don't really pay attention to flowers much- but maybe roses. They're very versatile, come in all sorts of colors, and are usually passionate and classy; the first flower everyone thinks of."

He gives a chuckle and holds up a familiar potted plant.

"Though it only has flowers sometimes, I really like Joji's. It looks like a star."

[thraten]

This Pride Month drawing from 2021 should be a decent enough way to introduce my two main fursonas, Thraten & Hyacinth... (info after the break)

Thraten - northern mockingbird [he/they] I've been using Thraten as a default stand-in for myself since 2010, though they remained a "generic grey bird" (whatever that means) until 2016. I don't really see them much as a character; they're essentially just me as a bird. They inherit all of my ambitions and creative interests, but also all of my insecurities. Identifying with Thraten has been rough the past few years, but I'm hoping some small design tweaks might help them better reflect the person I want to be going forward.

Hyacinth - Blanford's fox [they/them] Hyacinth was realized in 2018 out of a desire for a secondary character with a "soft friend" aesthetic, and was designed by OlympiaXylaige. Their vibe is all spring flowers, loose sweaters, and herbal teas, and everything that makes you cozy. I never intended them to be a fursona, but they've come to represent a personification of love & self-love that's helped me reconnect with long-neglected parts of myself. Hyacinth is a character I truly want to bring to life in as many ways as possible, in hopes of conveying to others the embodiment of kindness that I see in them. ("Sometimes Thraten lets me take over their accounts on April Fool's Day, heehee! 💖🌺")

Everytime I download something off of the internet from the app store, I check the reviews, go to the reviews with one star, and read some of the comments. Most of the time the one star reviews reveals the things that are bad almost immediately, every horrible and glitchy things in the thing im about to download, and I use that to decide wether I should download the thing or not.

✧｡:*▹ Iporomantic

[ PT/ Iporomantic /PT end ]

✧ Iporomantic is an arospec label for one who exclusively experiences romantic attraction that only lasts for very short periods of time. It only lasts , for example , for a couple days. These short crushes may be short enough for one to find them insignificant. For example , upon meeting someone , one may feel romantic attraction for a day or two before it “fizzles out into” another form of attraction or none at all.the crush may happen at any point in knowing someone.

✧ This label is similar to arospike, because of how both experience romantic attraction for short periods of time. The difference is that arospike beings are usually aro and experience periods of being alloro, whereas iporomantic beings may feel fully alloro or arospec , though the crushes they experience are shorter than alloro beings.

✧ Self recoin + revamp .. more explanation

Etymology

✧ Iporomantic comes from “Ipomoea ,” which is the largest genus in the Convolvulaceae family , commonly known as the morning glory or bindweed family. The name Ipomoea is derived from Greek and refers to the twining , climbing-plant nature of this genus. Ipomoea and Convolvulaceae include many species , including morning glories , which have a short lifespan ( individual blooms ) , and are what this orientation is named after.

Fighting Styles (Oso Edition)

As we know in the basic of combats, there are different forms of battle styles, I decided to categorize my characters in a easy style names to dumb it down for me. They're not categorized by weapons, as I feel like that doesn't do the job as I want it to. So, welcome to TACTICS 101 WITH OSO.

1. Offender

Offense is like the most basic style we all know. Fighters in this style are more likely to fight head on, similar in a guerrilla fashion, minus the scatter part. Example of gods that fight like this are Jägris, Daloa, and Zenos.

2. Defender

Defense is again another classic in the fighting arena. Fighters in this style stay up close, but usually have shields and are great at parrying attacks. Gods in this fighting style include Marva and Äismir.

3. Dodger

Dodgers might have a fancy, specific name, but not in my world. In this fighting style they are dodging the opponent while also giving quick, strong jabs. The goal is to tire the opponent, and hurting them in the process. Gods that use this fighting style are Anje, Qayras, and my love, Zedina.

4. Copycat

Getting into rare territory, there is the copycat fighters. As the name implies, they copy the opponents or copy what their weakness are. They more likely than not get confused as different styles, as they, of course, have preferences. What separates them is that they are quickly able to change tactics fast when needed. This form is rare, two gods that use this style are Nidrä and Manos.

5. No sight, no fight

Most likely the rarest style to fight is something I call "no sight, no fight". In this fighting style it means the fighter is hidden while causing lethal damage to the opponent with them not being able to do the same. This style itself has it's own categories, being versatile. What makes a fighter labeled in this category is that the fight is thought methodically and made sure to keep the opponent blind at all times, making them weak. It's like chess, you are the pawn of their game and their goal. Gods that use this style are Anjita, Mithos, and Debris.

That's that, I haven't done a post like this in a while. Sorry, if I'm a bit rusty. If you read this all even with no art, congrats..... I love you?

[orchidbark]

I'm having pretty mixed feelings about tumblr's new content filtering. The short of it is, while I think it's good for tumblr its showed me I need to expand my horizons/places i post (the long of it is contained below lol)

so while i am looking forward to tumblr finally clawing its way back out of the stoneage with the way we can post content, and i know that content filtering is a major step towards that, it really chufts my fluffs that by tagging things as mature, im now getting less eyes on it.

i mean that's the system working as intended and I don't exactly want folks having to look at mature art when they don't want to. but since the content filtering is an optional switch you have to flick yourself, this means that people who might enjoy this stuff normally just don't see it because it's all off by default. which is annoying and discouraging to say the least (this isn't a finger point at any followers - you didn't design the system! just making sure thats clear so no one thinks I'm trying to boo hoo guilt them because they didnt see my arts or whatnot)

so while tumblr is my favorite site to post and is still kinda my home in a lot of ways (i've been here over a decade in one account or another), im gonna start trying to focus on other sites as well. i opened a furaffinty account so I can unleash a little more over there, and I guess i should update my neglected twitter... i would like to post more on twitter anyway and have been meaning to, but twice in the first year i was trying to establish myself, it got locked for "suspicious activity" (I posted two things in the same day) which really ground my ambitions into powder.

But to keep up with crossposting i got postybirb. ive never used it before though but we'll see how it goes! if the bird site locks me out again ill just turn into a giant slime and eat northamerica (i promise)

that all said, i'm not leaving tumblr or anything so dramatic. but since my primary audience is based on a webedsite that can just chunk off my audience overnight for following the rules, I don't want to keep putting all my eggs in one basket.
