gonna be spamming about this okay unfollow me right now if you have a problem with it alkdls

calling my griffin rock gryphon au "home to the nest"

is she in stasis on wayward island or is she the rock formation on top of Mt. Griffin? i'm feeling on wayward tbh. the episode where Cody is searching for one gets extended. he wanders off as a 9 yr old does, and as he does, and gets lost. stumbles into a cave and finds my oc curled against the back wall, half submerged in water, algae growing over her, metal dull and rusted in parts, horns chipped.

Blades follows him bc Heatwave told him to and Boulder is helping Graham. and Blades also wants to find one. Cody is 9 and therefore he's Fearless and is already climbing on her. he thinks she another statue.

mmmm she survived bc the water has energon mixed in and Bullshit Magic Science Thing Here is the reason she survived outside of a pod in a deep sleep.

she absolutely has woken up before, those rumors had to come from somewhere! so the last time she was awake, the vikings were landing at Griffon Rock. they built shrines to her, brought her those shiny glowing blue rocks she seemed to like.

they built her a nest. and when they left.... she went back to sleep.

until Cody and Blades.

Blades is the first thing she sees. He wakes her up accidentally by bleeding on her teeth???? the pure energon jumpstarts her system.

The Gryphon on Amazon is kind of amazing? Stranger Things vibes but German fantasy and way better. But freaking Amazon has not renewed 😭 does anyone know how to hire bots to spam them with requests to do so? 😭😭😭😭

Also it's based on novels that weren't translated into English. I am so sad!

[darks-lair]

So I've been thinking about Earthspark primes again, as one does. Onyx this time.

I thought of her having a mask that gives her the big part of her power, mostly so she can use it to transform into her centaur and dragon (?) form

I am also now obsessed with centaurs who's animal part is much larger than the human one so I'll be drawing giant gryphon abdomens for a while

I will be so surprised if anyone gets the "la gougara" joke.

Also Onyx being friends with Maximo??? Please?? They sound like such a power duo.

My mind for the last few days: Transformers x Weretoons idea go brrr.

I have an idea for three specific iterations of the franchise. Those are Prime/Rescue Bots, Animated, and Bayverse. Although the latter two choices I can't really got into depth as there is going to be involvement with a Weretoon OC not designed yet.

Luckily for you folks, Prime/Rescue Bots aren't in that category since there's two perfect characters to experiment with! Who you may ask? How about Miko Nakadai and Cody Burns!

The reason behind it is I can give them two completely different backgrounds for their respective Weretoon sides. Plus both sides of the continuity get dragged into Looney Tunes style mayhem. Transformers Prime shall not escape the insanity this time.

Let's start with the female member of the Jasper Trio. Miko is an afflicted Weretoon as she gotten into an incident at 6 years old. She had to get a blood transfusion to save her life with everyone unaware of what the donor actually is.

Her toon has two sides to it. Miko's usual appearance looks exactly like herself as a cartoon but with obvious differences. She shrinks to 4'8 in height, her fingers are mole claws, a pair of little black bat wings, a pink dragon tail, sharp teeth with two peeking out her upper lip, and two little pink tipped black horns on her head.

Her secondary toon form is a MOLE DRAGON. This is because of Miko's trope: Beast Among Us. A toon who possesses takes a mostly inconspicuous normal form to hide their true monster nature. Miko is no exception either.

Her beast form has a 22 ft long Eastern Dragon/Mole hybrid with 7 ft long arms/legs. Miko's fur covered hide is predominantly obsidian in color for the hot pink scaley underbelly, pink tips on her mane, silver whiskers, light brown muzzle, black bat wings, pink bushy tail tip, salmon(color) nose, pink lavender antler like horns and red back spikes. Her muzzle alongside long arms/legs are mole like in nature.

Despite being able to fly, Miko's more dangerous in the ground. She can dig up to 75 mph and spit out blasts of sand like a cannon. A feat that made her first shift a sheer nightmare. Miko ran away from home and later found herself under the loving care of a demolition worker Weretoon.

Cody Burns is a natural born Weretoon from his mother's side and came into his heritage at age 4. (Got it from his great great grandfather with his mother not inheriting it.) Griffin Rock houses a few Weretoons as the place's secluded but also whacky nature keeps them safe from hostile Cartoon Hunters.

Cody's toon form is (ironically) a 6 ft tall bipedal gryphon. His bird half being a Laughing Gull but his arms are hand like wings similar to the Rito from the Legend of Zelda specifically BotW/TotK. Instead of a lion, Cody's lower half is a Pallas Cat with thick fluffy fur and surprisingly eagle feet than said feline's.

He can fly but not for long as his wings aren't fully developed yet. At most Cody can glide without straining himself too much. His trope is Understudy which means he can learn any skill extremely fast if he witnesses in toon form.

Kade, Dani and Graham are his half siblings as he was born from a failed relationship. They love Cody all the same but being left out of everything hurts much more thanks to this common knowledge. He unconsciously clings to the Rescue Bots once they arrive on Griffin Rock.

Speaking of the bots, both sides are in for a wild ride especially the Prime cast. (Rescue Bots got more available knowledge plus Griffin Rock is already insane on it's own.) Toons don't follow the same laws that everyone else does and Weretoons bask in this unique privilege.

Decepticons will not look at humans the same again once Miko pulls out an ink bottle. She can back up her sass as Starscream is getting stared down by a mole dragon straight from a cartoon. And quickly learns that explosions don't do shit either.

What can I say other than I like chaos?

[o-wise-corvid]

how would one say phrases like "blessed be" or "thank the universe" in dathomiri?

Dathomir Daily

Okay so this has been spring break week and I took a break but the LORE I went into for this little bitty phrase!!! So I’ll throw that in there too for a little extra ;)

The phrase would be:

Sho Zhudo’le zin.

It literally means “the Force’s will”. For Dathomiri, the Force isn’t as black and white as it is for Sith and Jedi. And it isn’t the end all, be all. There are other “forces” at work outside The Force itself in their religious beliefs. However, they do recognize a Light and a Dark Side and have members of their pantheon dedicated to that. (Lore begins here, btw.) They are:

Gun Tā’zhudo’rr: the Winged Goddess, who is the figurehead for the Light Side of the Force in Dathomiri mythology, and Cor Dē’zhudo’rr: the Fanged God, who is the figurehead of the Dark Side.

In Jedi and Sith lore, these two figures are known as the Son and the Daughter and they have a Father. In Dathomiri lore, however, they have a Mother. Dathomiri society is heavily matriarchal so this isn’t surprising… *wink*

Gorr’tālno: this is the name for the least know member of the Dathomiri pantheon. There is not much known of her save an old temple, older than even the Zeffo ruins, where this woman was depicted between who most seem to think are her Son and Daughter, a great bat like creature and a winged gryphon. They hold the chains that bind her. Her name means simply “Star Woman”.

anyway I can Paint Again so I’m back on my bullshit

I have moved Lannes, Murat and others onto their own tiny pedestals now

Ney, Davout and Naps need a little bit of touching up and also grass and rocks and then they can be varnished

And I’ve started attacking Junot who frankly has the most extra pose

I also have a whole lot of plague doctors and a few monsters and a gryphon and a large dragon who all need priming and painting, and also I should probably own a display cabinet one day because my desk is a War Zone

yea yea, i think artem is so lion-vibes and i think he'd made a really cool griffin/gryphon/however you spell it, the haLF LION HALF EAGLE CREATURE!! tho having a griffin and a harpy in the mystical lineup might get repetitive, idk...

cervitaur!artem is growing on me tho, especially since this morning when my friend ace let me know that "apparently [deer] like to sleep lying down but they can sleep standing up, and they only close their eyes MAX FIVE MINUTES?? and they can still hear and smell while they sleep in these fitful bursts?"

that is RIDICULOUSLY ARTEMCORE LMAOOO. hes gonna sleep for 5mins completely standing up and if u so much as step on a leaf within his earshot, he is Awake Again and will be like "that was Enough Rest :')"

Tokyo was left an radiation filled barren wasteland engulfed in nuclear fire. Very few survived. Over many years. Godzilla would continue to reign as the unstoppable king of monsters. Where more rose in his wake. An female, a child. An god monster, and so much more. Some were on our side, others were not. But over the years. Dagon has grown soft… “

“that all changed when an gigantic beast known only as Yamato no Orochi arose, and Dagon was suddenly back to his old ways, only far more powerful… and on the verge of a nuclear meltdown. The Godzilla exterminator squad and MONARCH made a joint operation to use serizawa’s weapon, the oxygen destroyer, to bring the Menace down and it worked, at the cost of daisuke serizawa’s life… but it was hard to believe that Godzilla was the last of his kind. Should nuclear tests continue. Another shall appear… and this is where my story begins.

[idiotcat-affectionate]

Today's mini is also somewhat FF related!

Say hello to the first of the Sin Eater counts-as-stormcast warband, Forgiven Impudence. Wife decided to suggest impudence on the basis of Gryphons statis as very hierarchical creatures, known as the King of birds and King of beasts, which is pretty fitting for the manifestation of that kind of attitude problem.

There are some angels to go with it (the sword and board one being what made me want to do them up as sin eaters in the first place because the shadowbringers trailer *slaps*) but they were printed at 28mm and are a little small compared to the Gryphon, so will be rescaling and reprinting.

The mini designer is Belksasar, in case you want to check their other stuff out yourself. I'm really enjoying a lot of them personally. (Fair warning, there are nsfw titty versions of almost all the models they make).

As a final thing, highly recommend sin eaters for a good looking, fast, easy to paint option for your armies. Just prime and spray white, water down some grey wash (I used the citadel soulblight shade on this) and get it in all the corners. Pure black eyes and a gold accent *somewhere*, touch up the white and bam, done.

I do need to finish doing that last stage though...

THE PRICE OF AMBER : Part 23 of 23

Of THE PRICE OF AMBER 23 he said this :

What a wonderful tale! A prime example of how seemingly minor people or situations can cause some very, very big changes!

Yes indeed! Of course, in the Gryphon Empire, Dawnfire is very highly regarded. During the Hearthwarming Invasion attempt, the Prench fleet was sent to attack southern Equestria at the same time.

Celestia's ERN (Equestrian Royal Navy) intercepted them and drove them into and onto the Ironstone Reef complex. They attempted an amphibious invasion of the southern Gryphon Empire's coast line at Ironstone Beach, where they were dirven back and captured by Grayak's Legion (a sort of Foreign Legion).

Outnumbered about eight to one, the Legion stopped the invasion cold at a cost of over 25% killed outright and about 30% of the survivors seriously wounded.

FLT III (Flight Lieutenant third class) Dawnfire, though wounded, was forced into command for the last half of the battle. He was one of three granted the Knife of Honor. The other two were posthumous. He also got the Claw of Honor for his courage in carrying battle to the enemy in spite of his wounds.

The Knife of Honor is required to be worn in the presence of the Empress or either of her Strong Wings. By Treaty it is also required to be worn in the Royal presences of Equestria. Even if the nobles of Equestria were (willfully) ignorant of the treaty, the Royal Guards were very aware of it and that is why they would not remove his War Knife.

Der Greif / The Gryphon (S1 Review) | Surprising, Layered, and Entertaining

For a random find on @PrimeVideo The Gryphon is a good find, a solid show. #DerGreif #TheGryphon #Mustsee #PrimeVideo #AmazonPrimeVideo #Fantasy #seriesreview

This isn’t a series that was on my radar, I found The Gryphon in the most random way – Prime Video suggested it to me. So I was not familiar with the creators of the show Sebastian Marka and Erol Yesilkaya, or the 1989 book that it’s based on “Der Greif” by Wolfgang Hohlbein and Heike Hohlbein, but growing up I’d seen some great German TV Shows and I was interested in this fantasy. Besides one or…

[sonicasura]

Rescue Bots: Showside

Here we are with the other half of Weretoons and Transformers Aligned combo. This is primarily focus on the Rescue Bots such as shenanigans to possible plot changes. Also some additional worldbuilding since Weretoons interact with the setting more than Prime's iteration. Enjoy.

The best place to start is with Griffin Rock itself. Over 8% of the population are Weretoons while 10% have said heritage. Some own a few local businesses while others work at different establishments such as the zoo. Greene family alongside the Burns are major Weretoon supporters.

These particular Weres can easily see through the Rescue Bots' machine facade(playing pretend is something Toons tend to do.) All of them support the group and usually offer a helping hand in some way. Either for a mission or someone to talk to. (The Rescue Bots deserve a bigger support group during their incognito days.)

Multiple ideas were implemented to make sure any knowledge of Weretoons don't reach the mainland through tourism. These involve little public skits with any toon shenanigans marked as advanced holograms/holoforms. Any footage of Weretoons are uniquely scrambled into a cartoon setting on the respective recording device once it leaves the mainland.

Now that's out of the way, we can get to the main point: the story. Cody is the Rescue Bots major introduction to Weretoons. Although Optimus and Bumblebee aren't aware of said presence until later. (They think Miko is the only one.)

All the bots had their own reaction to Cody showing his Weretoon nature.(Happens on the first episode with the T-Rex.) Chase's processor definitely took a bit longer to understand the insanity that comes with a subspecies who generally breaks multiple universal laws. (He adjusted better once given a book about Laws of Cartoon Physics.)

Heatwave takes it better although he now wonders how WEIRD this planet is gonna get. Absolutely holds Cody like a baby bird or kitten even if the kid ain't in toon form. This bot is a major softy around kids so he's less bothered by younger Weretoon shenanigans.

Blades accepts the knowledge quite easily although he's a bit nervous around the more chaotic members. Cody assures him that the only thing he has to worry about is cream pies, water squirting flowers and the occasional hand buzzer. Weretoons on Griffin Rock are more chill with their antics.

Boulder just finds the whole thing fascinating. He does ask questions but nothing invasive and has watched classic cartoons for research. The least to get pranked by Weretoons as Boulder is too nice to warrant it.

Griffin Rock's public skits, Showside, are an event the bots tend to 'participate'(get dragged in) frequently. What happens through each one is random as improv holds more interest than a simple script. This has led to: Boulder taking the Genie role for an Aladdin scene, a ballerina Heatwave ending up in a dunk tank thrice, Blades tapdancing against a Leprechaun Weretoon for chocolate coins and Chase medieval jousting with a T-Rex.

Bumblebee nor Optimus are safe either once they find out. You can bet Prime ended up in a clown costume trying to play hoops but Bee interferes with water balloons and shaving creme pies. It's overall dumb nonsense yet manages to be silly fun either way.

A personal escape for Cody whenever he feels lonely or a hassle. Despite his gryphon like toon form, any attempts to help his family get shot down just like in canon. Trust me when I say buried emotions don't mix very well when it comes to a Weretoon. It is gonna get pretty ugly once Cody reaches his breaking point.

Thus he tends to cling to the bots. None of them mind Cody showing up to help especially if the situation is really bad. His Understudy troupe does wonders too as he can temporarily copy the Rescue Bots' respective skill set.

Need to put out a fierce blaze? Mimic Heatwave and summon a high pressure water hose from his hammer space. If Cody can't find the right ability then Frankie sends a video that could help. Otherwise he uses his ability to fly and intense strength. A good chunk of situations aren't that bad thanks to being a Weretoon.

Dr. Morroco brings in the real danger once he shows up. When you consider the fruit loop profits from the black market, think about potential clients and who else lives on Griffin Rock. Shit is gonna get dark like how Who Framed Rodger Rabbit traumatized kids with the infamous Dip scene. If Prime is getting sillier then Rescue Bots will receive some messed up moments.

Speaking of that, both sides of this insanity aren't gonna stay isolated. The cast from Rescue Bots will meet their Prime half. Miko and Cody get to be gremlins together as Heatwave goes mother hen mode. (He really doesn't want kids anywhere near active warzone!)

Ratchet grills Optimus for hiding such information(Weretoons and Rescue Bots respective existence). Cody might accidentally end up on the Nemesis bewitching Vehicons with his kind nature to avoid Megatron. Breakdown is gonna quit at some point and drag Knockout with him(Blades' fault).

Can't forget the Team Prime getting pulled into some Showside skit shenanigans should they visit Griffin Rock. Blackmail and teasing all around as they need a break from the seriousness of war. What do you guys think?

[babylonbirdmeat]

Hey so like, you know how humans tend to forget that up is a direction they can look when searching for items? Like especially because we're like... Floor dwellers we forget we can check tables and shelves above us for items

I think a big part of this is that humans lacked predators that hunted from high ground and the sky

Especially since deer in some places apparently look up more because they've started to recognize that hunting stands are a thing, sometimes predators are above you

So like in a lot of fantasy worlds where aerial predators of humans and their ilk are more common (dragons, gryphons, rocs, etc.) humans probably find lost shit more easily because their brain is already primed to scan the high shelves
