local lizard discovered new tasting ability

Hey Scyzoth, have you ever put either prong of your tongue on two different things to see if you could taste both at the same time? Like, one prong in a soup and the other in a beverage.

"No, but now you have me curious. Will you give me a moment?" He leaves to retrieve a drink and make a quick bowl of Kytinn soup. Arriving back to the anon, he soon proceeds to place one prong of his tongue into the soup, while the other is placed into his drink. What he discovers is quite shocking to him...

"Why haven't I realized this was possible until now??!"

Chapter Six - Reverse

Tough Love Masterlist

“How’s it going?” True to your word, you sat on the porch while Jacob sat out on the lawn, his hair short and an almost healed tattoo on his shoulder. He was unrecognizable really, so different from that lanky kid you had known.

Paul was sitting on the steps of the porch, silent but situated between you both. Billy had called him, expecting you ignore his advice. He knew you well. You knew Jacob better.

“Hot. My temperature is sky high.” Jacob explained and you nodded. You had already experienced Paul’s unnatural heat. Something about it rang a bell in the back of your mind but you couldn’t figure out why.

“You got big.” You pointed out and Jacob laughed, pulling up tufts of grass. “Bella thinks you’ve got the stomach flu. She’s got it.”

Jacob winced, tearing the grass up with a little more force. You pursed your lips while he took deep breaths to calm himself. “So when you get mad it makes you phase?”

“Basically. It won’t after a while but in the first few weeks it’s pretty bad.” Jacob explained and you nodded.

“Thinking about Bella makes you mad?” You asked and he sighed, shaking his head.

“Thinking about how she still loves that stupid blood sucker does. I tried, you know, I tried to help her. She won’t love me like that though.” Jacob exhaled a harsh breath and you tilted your head in confusion looking to Paul.

“Edward? What do you mean by-“ Faint legends returned to you and you gasped, jaw dropping. “Don’t you dare tell me what I think you will.”

“We don’t boycott the hospital for fun.” Paul sighed and you looked over to Jacob and back to Paul. “The Cullens are Cold Ones.”

“You’re joking. He was, he was in my house. She was in their house! How did she not know?” You asked in shock and your jaw dropped further at the shared look between Paul and Jacob. “She knew?!”

“We’re pretty sure she did.” Paul sighed and you found the wherewithal to shut your jaw. “They’re vegetarians.”

“Vegetarians.” You muttered faintly. “Mass psychosis is feeling more and more believable.”

“Yeah, you and me both. At least you don’t turn into an animal.” Jacob scoffed and you pulled a face. “Do you at least look cool?”

“Cooler than Paul.” Jacob sounded smug and you shrugged.

“Paul looks pretty cool. Very intimidating. I bet you look all adorable and cute.” A russet wolf appeared, looking every bit as menacing as scraps of clothes fluttered around him.

“Aw, does Fido want a treat?” Your voice shook a little, which you thought was fair enough, and Paul laughed while Jacob barked once before heading into the forest with a huff.

“Takes him a while to phase back.” Paul explained when he realised you were waiting on Jacob’s return. “Took me over an hour the first couple of times.”

“You wanna get something to eat?” You asked quietly and he nodded, relief plain on his face.

///

“Jake is pretty sick. I tried to bring him down soup and Billy wouldn’t even let me in. It’s not the same stomach bug you had. He’s got mono.” It was such a stupid lie. You had cringed when Billy had come up with it.

“I could just sit with him.” Your sister looked bad again. The shadows under her eyes had returned. The nightmares were back with a vengeance and Charlie was at his wits end.

“Mono is contagious Bella. You can’t visit him until he’s well again.” You explained, reaching out for your sister who flinched. “Bella, come on. You need to sleep.”

“I can’t do this again. Do you understand? I can’t.” You wondered how many hearts would be broken by the ‘gift’ of phasing. Bella was just getting back on track.

A couple of mornings later Bella was gone before you even woke, a worried Charlie had told you as much. Her truck was gone and the pair of you spent the morning calling around to see if anyone had seen Bella.

It wasn’t until midday when a knock at the front door had you hurrying to answer. Charlie was doing the rounds to see if he could find Bella or her truck.

Paul stood at the door and you sighed, defeated. He hesitated and you opened the door wider, letting him in.

“We found Bella out alone in the woods today.” He explained and your blood ran cold. “She was okay when we left her. But she came very close to not being okay. She was talking to another Cold One. We don’t know him but he’s been around before.”

“Why is she just a magnet for trouble?” You asked, perking up when the door opened but sighing when Charlie called to see if Bella had come home.

“She’s been up around La Push. Paul saw her driving around.” Charlie looked past you to where Paul was standing, a weird flip of the usual way this situation played out. “Says she seems pretty out of it. It’s going to be a rough night.”

The predictions of a rough night rang through. Bella had come home in a rush insisting it was wolves, not bears in the woods. Which left Charlie organising a search party with Harry.

You did your best to stay out of the way, resting for the evening because you knew that you wouldn’t sleep tonight.

What you didn’t expect was shortly after Paul left he made his way back, via your window. He was currently sat at your desk, flipping through your CD collection asking you trivial questions.

“Are you not mad because you can’t be mad at me or are you really not mad?” You asked quietly. He looked up from your desk with a frown.

“Mad about what?” He asked and you sighed, sitting up against your headboard, your knees pulled up to your chest. He moved from his seat at your desk to sit at the end of your bed.

“The way I reacted the other night. I left.” You sighed. You had seen Paul only a handful of times since then, usually so he could supervise visits to Jacob. Neither of you talked much during them.

“With the bomb I dropped? I don’t blame you one bit. A lot of pieces fell into place for you that day. Leah is your best friend, I understand you seeking her out. I know how hard it is to keep all of this from her.” He sighed and you sniffed. “You’ve got so much going on and yet you’re worried about my feelings?”

“I was mean.” You sighed and he chuckled, reaching out to you. You let him draw you into his lap and took comfort in his embrace. He inhaled like he was going to speak and then winced a split second before Bella’s nightmares took hold and she screamed.

Trash Tuesday

@yiiiiiiiikes25 told me to take out the trash, so I did. A snippet from an abandoned WIP that'll never see the light of day (NSFW)

Draco can't recall how it started. Honestly, he can't. And he can't think of a reason why it keeps happening. He'd like to have a reason; something to point at and say, this is why. But if he can't think of one even after being relentlessly interrogated by a very nosy Pansy Parkinson, then he really has no hope. 

“What does he want from you?” Pansy asks, bumping into him as they walk, side by side, down the cobbled streets of Diagon. 

“I don't know.”

“Well, do you talk?"

“Not really. A bit.”

“So he just comes to the shop, to fuck you?”

Draco shrugs. “Sometimes I fuck him.”

“Ha.” She throws her head back and laughs. The afternoon sun reflects off her shiny black hair. “What a time to be alive. My best friend is regularly dicking down the Saviour of the Wizarding World. In the back of a grimy shop, no less!”

“Could you keep it down?” Draco hisses.

“Oh, unclench. No one is listening to us.” 

“Yeah, well. Still. I don't think—I’m sure he wouldn't want anyone to know.”

She narrows her eyes. “Do you want people to know?”

“Absolutely not! Are you kidding? I’ve got enough heat on me without adding being Harry Potter’s secret fuck buddy to the list.”

“Okay, wait. I need to know more. What's he like after? Is he all broody and 'this doesn't mean I'm gay'?”

Draco hums, shakes his head. “Bit clingy actually. Always wants to cuddle.”

She squeals, and Draco actually clamps his hand over her mouth. “Gods, this is fantastic,” she continues, her voice all muffled. Draco rolls his eyes. His palm is smudged with lipstick when he pulls it away. “You better keep at it. Now I've got a pipeline for Potter gossip I'm not giving it up.”

“I think that's up to me, actually.” They stop in front of the Apothecary. He kisses her cheek. “Anyway, I've got to run.”

“Whatever you need to tell yourself!" She calls as the door swings shut behind him.

hhhrggrhrgrg NL Darling feeling a sort of kinship with mono right off the bat because oh?? not human?? metal bits?? all alone??? :)) friend

Mono 🤝 Nightlight Darling

Lonely Bots with a space theme who long for someone to hold- [just gonna use this ask to slap on the full blurb I made with these two cuties]

-

Mono finds Nightlight abandoned in a scrap yard on what would've been their last evening on earth for some time - searching for the perfect item to bring with them until they returned. Throughout their travels, Mono had developed an affinity for collecting souvenirs from the planets they stumbled upon. Though its time was often brief - Mono felt a certain homesickness for every planet as they no longer had a home of their own. When they reached earth, their little hobby gradually escalates to a borderline addiction. So many treasures left for grabs in places like junk yards or antique shops simply because humans no longer see their worth.

If it were up to Mono, they would've taken everything they set their eye upon, but all that weight may not be good for their ship. They needed to find the perfect treasure to bring back with them..

And so they did.

"H..he....hello?"

When Mono found Nightlight - the poor android was in a terrible state of repair. Their dominant arm was nowhere to be seen, body covered in dirt and small scratches. Mono knew from the moment it saw Nightlight they'd do anything to fix them. Never had they'd seen such gorgeous craftsmanship from humans - only for them to be abandoned in cold, awful place like this. Mono carries Nightlight and the blanket they found the android in to their ship. What Mono thought to be a final gesture of kindess from the humans who cared for them would later be revealed as the cruelest act by far.

"They didn't even bother to shut me off properly... My last owners... They just put me in a blanket and made sure my solar panels were covered...I still remember...everything..."

The energy draining from their body. The loss of mobility in their limbs, unable to move even if they tried after being left in idle mode. Their former owners couldn't even give them the mercy of powering them down completely or wiping their system.

Nightlight isn't their usual self when they first meet Mono, but it isn't long before they're back to their cheerful self with how considerate and caring Mono is. Hints of their former self presented whenever Mono offers to leave their former owners to rot in filth or to rip off the arms of thieves who stole their arms. They haven't known them long, but they can tell Mono would never hurt they soul which they wouldn't.....at least not in front of their new crewmate. It's also hard for Nightlight to feel down when they can see earth right outside their bedroom window.

"Whoa! Is that earth?! It looks so small from up here... Look, I can hold it in my hands!"

Nightlight's energetic self is exactly what Mono's ship needed for it to finally feel like home to the alien. The android's lights are quite useful when the light surrounding the ship are on the fritz again as well. When it's time to repair nightlight's arm, Mono sneaks in parts of their metal into the limb during its construction. Unbeknownst to Nightlight, in Mono's culture that means they're already lovers.

Tiny human sized nightlight rides around on Mono's shoulders or clings to the larger bot's arms, legs, or hip whenever they're exploring. Anyone they meet along their journey can see how quick to iteration Mono is without their Starlight hanging off of them.

As some may know, Mono's native language best translate to Morse code. What some may not know - and something Mono was clearly unaware of is that Nightlight can understand them perfectly-

-

"Wow....I knew stars were beautiful, but seeing them up close... it's amazing."

"It is true they are a marvel to see in person...."

Mono trails off, sliding their fingers over the collar around its neck.

"-… ..- - / .. / -.- -. --- .-- / --- -. . / - …. .- - / … …. .. -. . … / -… .-. .. --. …. - . .-."

"Oh! Are you talking about me? You're so sweet, Mono - i think you shine bright too."

".-- …. .- - ..--.. -.-.-- ..... You can understand me? How long have you been able to..."

"Forever? You talk a whole lot in your sleep, y'know. It's cute... I love you too by the way."

The embarrassment may temporarily shut Mono's systems down, but hearing Nightlight reciprocates their feelings is what kills them.

[Translations: But I know a star that shines brighter, What?!]

[penheadie]

some of my concepts for doggo mono. id like to think that whenever mono speaks it just comes out in courage the cowardly dog gibberish i also found a way to fit the scrapped concept of the barber into the au.

before anybody asks his color pallete was based off of chibi from gates of erebus one of those old abridged wolf series i used to watch on youtube when i was like 8 or 12 that stuff was the shit.

[pretty-r0t]

okay so, scrapped the fruit mono idea for today, i ended up having like a 600cal "binge", and I only call it that because I genuinely lose control of myself and keep eating after im not hungry- but, positive thing is! I'll be at the lake all day and won't have access to extra foods, plus I'll be burning most everything off. at least, thats what im telling myself.

[eviethenut]

Who wants to see really old TSP art from 2023?

Trick question, I'm showing you anyways

Cut for really bad ugly old art (ft mono and six)

I remember there being one more of Stanley praising the bucket, but I guess I must've scrapped that one.

I didn't do much drawing of it back in 2023. I liked the game, but I didn't get fully into it like I did this time. Also I was mostly drawing little nightmares at the time, and I had trouble splitting my attention to a new interest lol
