I've been wanting to do this forever so why not now

RATING SPYRO'S MODELS IN EACH GAME (these are the models themselves, not like his designs outside of the games in like promotional materials and stuff. That may be a later post idk yet)

Spyro 1

The classic Spyro design. The small line of blue scales. The little yellow gradient on his cheeks and snout in cutscenes. The brown horns and big, expressive eyes. Oh yeah, this is prime Spyro right here. Will take points because the wings are very small and awkwardly shaped, which to be fair it is 1998 playstation so like. What can you do.

9/10

Spyro 2/3

Now this? This is perfection here. Takes everything the Spyro 1 model does and does it better. Still has the little blue scales I love so much and the brown horns, but with much better wing shape and size. Top tier Spyro model. Might be my favorite of all of them, even.

10/10

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

I like how they decided to texture in more scales during the jump from ps1 to ps2. Sadly this may be the only thing i like about this model. It's not the worst thing i've ever seen, but it looks so... gummy? Some of the details look kind of odd to me, like the yellow claws and unevenly spaced lines along his chest. This also removed the blue scales lining around his underbelly and adds the yellow horns which I'm not crazy about. A few points for still trying to be mostly loyal to the ps1 designs shape wise.

5/10

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Now this is a pretty good improvement from the enter the dragonfly model. I'm not crazy about the snout shape, looks a bit too round and i think the nostrils are a bit too high on his face, but overall a good spyro! the introduction of the purple eyes is cool too (personally im a red eyed spyro truther but still)

7/10

Spyro: Shadow Legacy

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA HOLY FUCK HAHAHHAHA. okay okay okay to be fair this one is a ds game and spyro himself is suuuuper small on the screen so like. of course he'd be low poly. does get some points for spyro having sharper and more mean features. though you probably wouldn't notice in the game

4/10

Legends Spyro New Beginning/Eternal Night

Might be nostalgia talking but I actually still really like this design. I like his snout shape and more lightning bolt shaped horns, and i find his head and back spikes kinda cool, even if i like the classic shape of them better, it works for this design. His horns are a tad bit more brownish (it's more visible in the game), which you know I love. This spyro is overall very cute!! Maybe a bit too cute, but I enjoy him

8/10

Legends Spyro Dawn of the Dragon

I don't. like him.

the back legs look fucked up, the wings are way too thick at the base by the shoulders and then they're so small but then get so long by the end. i like the little added scales along his underbelly. that's about it. you would think taking the previous model and making him older would be easy but i guess not. a point because you can tell he's older and if you only look at his head the model is nice. not the rest though. god.

2/10

Skylanders

This might be controversial but i dont care. i actually like the skylanders spyro design. he leans more into the cool factor than cute, which i can appreciate, and he kinda reminds me of a pug a little bit and i really like pugs. he's got kind of a beast/monster factor i really like. i love love love the horn shape and the big claws, and the yellow claws dont even look awkward here!! the red eyes really pop too! i think he's really fun

7/10

side note i also LOVE spyro's design in the skylanders show too ESPECIALLY HIS COLORING LOOK HOW NICE HE LOOKS it takes the best parts of the game model and improves it. i know this isn't from the game but it's too good not to include.

9/10

Spyro Reignited

I do really really really love this model, it's near perfect. perfectly balances the cute/coolness factor. the shapes are all good, the wings are small but not too small. love the darker scales across his body. his little thumbs are so fun too. honestly this is the best they could have done for a remodel of the first 3 games. only taking off a point because im not crazy about the colors, i prefer the darker purples and brown horns.

9/10

BONUS: CRASH ON THE RUN

Im so torn on this one because on one hand the cartoony stylization really works in these models. i love the bigger snout, i think it's fun, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE taking his head spikes and kind of splitting them up like hair. that's so fun! but on the negative end I HATE THE WAY HIS FEET LOOK SO MUCH OH MY GOD. they're like wretched lumps of clay with little claws jammed into them. granted this was for a mobile app BUT STILL. the feet really just fuck me up a lot

6/10

Okay that is all thanks for reading <3 maybe next time i'll rate spyro renders or something <3

Get to Know Me Tag :)

I was tagged by @telomeke and shaded by @lurkingshan.

do you make your bed?

Not usually, but I don't have a partner right now. I find that I'm actually really good at cleanliness when I have people in my space regularly. I am better about taking care of things when I'm doing them for the ease of others.

what's your favourite number?

14, but I couldn't tell you why. I think it has something to do with a girl named Ciara who I sat behind in elementary school.

what is your job?

I fix things for a government agency.

if you could go back to school, would you?

Probably. I didn't really know what I wanted to do when I went to college, and was far too much a mess at the time to study what I really should have. If I could do it and maintain my expenses, I'd retrain for my preferred profession.

can you parallel park?

Yes. I am the gay who drives.

a job you had that would surprise people?

I was paid for over two years to be really good at D&D.

do you think aliens are real?

So... I gotta be honest... I hate this question. This feels as loaded as the "Do you believe in God?" question. We are not aware of the existence of life on other planets, let alone sentient life. There is nothing for me to believe in. Do I hope that there are other intelligent beings out there? Yes. I think it would be really cool to engage in communication with a species that also crawled their way out of the muck and made it to space. I think there's much we could learn from each other about life and the universe itself. But belief is such a loaded term for me as a lapsed Catholic. I do not believe in aliens, but I hope that we'll get to meet some in the future.

can you drive a manual car?

Nope! Never needed to learn.

what's your guilty pleasure?

Hmm... Nothing really anymore?

tattoos?

Nah, I've always worked in the public sector in a way that hasn't made it an advisable choice, and I've rarely cared enough about something to mark my body with it.

favorite color?

Purple most of the time, but my wardrobe would say I'm in my green era.

favorite type of music?

I'm a soft rock 90s kid who embraced a lot of 2000s and later alternative. I've been on a huge synthwave kick lately. However, because I grew up in the 90s and remember the era of radio, I have a deep affection for Soul and R&B, classic rock, and pop.

do you like puzzles?

Yes? But not in a way that makes me yearn for them.

any phobias?

Probably falling, but that seems like a normal one for survival purposes.

favorite childhood sport?

Baseball! I was a shortstop.

do you talk to yourself?

Not often. I don't actually have an internal monologue, so I don't need to talk to myself often to get through it.

what movies do you adore?

This is...so difficult. I'm just going to name a ton of films: Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, Pacific Rim, Ghost Dog, Master and Commander, The Man From Earth, The Sum of Us, Big Eden, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Knives Out, Muppet Treasure Island, Gattaca, C.R.A.Z.Y., Weekend, First Blood, Robocop, Starship Troopers, Drive My Car, Nine Days, Really Love, Set it Off, Make the Yuletide Gay, Shelter, Pig, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Digimon Movie, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Star Wars IV and V, Isa Pa With Feelings, The Way He Looks... and probably many more.

coffee or tea?

Coffee. Tea does so little for me.

first thing you wanted to be growing up?

A train conductor or an astronaut! Trains are so cool, and space is the final frontier! We have to boldly go where no one has gone before!

Oh gosh, I was tagged by like 😂 @herrmannhalsteadproduction @do-androids-dream-ao3acc @lavenderleahy and @judymarch15 oh gosh thank you all. Sorry it took me a beat to get to this haha

LAST SONG? - Bless the Telephone by Labi Siffre

FAVORITE COLOR? - blue. The kind that feels almost solidly neon blue, but a touch less hard on the eyes and maybe leaning a little toward purple.

CURRENTLY WATCHING? - Orphan Black: Echoes. It is. A show lol But also Evil, Evil rocks socks and more people should watch it. House of the Dragon too, it's not perfect but it's very good. Ooh and also Elementary, but it's my first time watching and the only thing stopping me from quitting it is Lucy Liu, her Joan Watson rules and I must subject myself to 2010s genius equals asshole to keep watching this show for her. I guess I also recently finished the latest season of the Dragon Prince, but is that currently watching if that was a binge watch 🤔 I'm sorry, I just constantly need sounds and sometimes, that's a show in the background lol

LAST MOVIE? - Deadpool & Wolverine as well as Twisters hehe

SWEET/SPICY/SAVORY? - Sweet. I Iove spicy food, but I definitely have a sweet tooth.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS? - Lol wouldn't people like to know 😉

CURRENT OBSESSIONS? - Videos about House of the Dragon on Youtube for some reason. I don't know why. I like other things. Oh and also Make Some Noise I suppose. And I am a bit on a podfic binge, people have good podfics, send them my way.

LAST THING YOU GOOGLED? Gather Up by Matt Berry because sometimes I just type something in google to find the youtube video lol Oh wait it might have been Conflict Resolution because I need to know some theory about the psychology or philosophy of that for a fic lol

Evie because my cousin, Dizzy Tremaine, really likes her and she's really nice and is in a business similar to the ones I want to be in. 

In your own words, tell us why you want to come to Auradon. There is no wrong answer. 

I want to come to Auradon Prep to further my education without the eyes of my mother on me and so that I can stop being a burden on my older sister, Ginny, who's had to take care of me and my big brothers—Mason and Glenn—since we were all born.

I want a chance at a future I can be proud of and to be a part of the world I've always watched from afar, and dream of. 

I want to go to school in a place where I'm not being purposely failed by my teachers like the Queen of Hearts. 

Furthermore, I wish to get away from my father before he realizes who I am and poses more of a risk to me than he already does (like he does did does with my half siblings half sister, Claudine).

I don't want to die here. 

I would also like to get to know my sisters, Rapunzel and Cassandra, who are not on the isle with me and my other siblings.

Plus, I have a much better chance at becoming an actor, an Auratuber, a model, and a cosmetologist in Auradon than I do on the isle where the resources are scarce and such things aren't important.

Nightmare Nightmore Highlights.

I'm not gonna recap or analyze the episode too much I just wanna share a few of my favorite things! Not really any spoilers, if you've already seen the leaks of Abbey and her mom floating around then you're all caught up.

Draculaura is throwing a party for the holiday of Nightmore, but I couldn't possibly care less. I'm here for Abbey!

Heath has the same reaction to seeing Abbey for the first time as a lot of us did. in Awe of her beauty. same dude, same.

She towers over everyone! even the boys! I am in love!

Draculaura is like a smurf compared to tall powerful Abbey.

Abbey's eyes aren't purple anymore, they are brown! and so pretty! breaks up the abundance of purple in her hair and outfit I am super into it!

Abbey's hair blend is the colors of the Bi flag and I have no choice but to stan.

Mama Bominable threatening to bring forth a cold harsh merciless winter upon Bloodgoods head if she doesn't produce Abbey is such a mood. I love me a good mama bear.

WHERE IS NIGHTMARE!? why is this messenger dragon hanging out in Bloodgood's office but her horse isn't!? The episode even has nightmare in the title but I see no Nightmare the horse. I don't like it. A headless horse person without their horse is just a zombie... why are you booing me? I'm right!

Draculaura already has her license in this gen? I'm here for it! Also Clawd chose to sit next to her. Also Clawd said "nailed it like a coffin" which was only ever said in G1 by Clawdeen and that makes me happy.

This is the second or third episode where Lagoona inexplicably has flat teeth, the music video for her doll did this too. I'm not exactly a professional animator but I've studied it enough to know that rendering characters off model is a fire-able offense. Fix it Nickelodeon.

Heath encouraging Abbey to use her ice powers telling her she is strong, charismatic and beautiful. ahhhh! my heart!... I've mentioned on here I'm not much of a shipper per-se. But that was a lie, Habbey was one of my OG ships and it brings me such joy to see them again! I needed this since the only Heath we got during G2 was this:

*Long suffering G2 sigh*

Yeti's in this universe seem to basically be water benders and I am okay with that! Mama Bominable is fuckin pissed! LOL Bye Bloodgood it's been nice knowing you!

Damn, Abbey's dad didn't contribute any genetics to that her at all. Mama Bominables genes were like "this is MY child!" I do love that she has horns and a more pronounced underbite, perhaps Abbey will get these traits as she grows? Or maybe her buns are hiding her horns? IDK but it's fun to imagine! I wonder where they got the idea to give their yeti Horns... HMMMMMMM

it's a mystery, we'll never know.

This isn't even a highlight I'm just taking pictures of Mama Bominabe at this point, I love a strong woman willing to murder the school principle for her daughters safety.

SHE CALLED ABBEY SNOW ANGEL AHHHHHH- I'm sorry I just had to get that out.

The boy is in love! .... And he actually says something really profound. I'm so impressed G3 is giving Heath some depth and not just making him a one note idiot... Don't get me wrong, I liked one note idiot Heath but there was more to him than that.

Heath trying to kiss Abbey on the first day of meeting her is absolutely a G1 call back.

in her intro episode he kissed her hand and his lips froze off.

I love everything about this episode! I love that Abbey is Nepali! it's way more accurate to her Monster type and before some nerd tries to get in the replies and go "Actually Russia occupied Nepal at one point" that's true, they did BUT! the myth of the Yeti originated in 1937, Russia didn't occupy the Himalayas until the 1960's.

This episode is my new favorite! I heard a rumor that we won't get any new Monster High episodes until after the new year, but if they are anything like this? they will be worth the wait!

[adobe-outdesign]

If it's not getting tiresome would you mind reviewing the mynci? They've been my favorite since childhood

The Mynci is our only primate Neopet (not counting TNT staff, the freaks) and it's... alright. Honestly, I'm kind of amazed we only got a singular monkey Neopet for this category, considering how diverse primates are all-around—you have baboons, gorillas, monkeys, lemurs, etc. It's not a bad thing, but it's head-scratching compared to the number of dragons and birds we have.

As our only primate Neopet, the Mynci is about as literal as you could get with a monkey—long tail, big ears, snub nose (their most distinctive feature tbh) and what seems to be exposed flesh over their ears, face and stomach, down to even having a belly button. I feel like they're kind of like Lupes, being real animals, but they don't have as incredible as a selection of colours to support them like Lupes do.

I guess my main problem with them is that there's no fur indicated on their bodies, just two hairs on their heads, which always gave them this weird feeling of being bald. I feel like just a few small tufts of fur in the right spots would've helped avoid this. Their body shape is also pretty standard. Out of the designs that were voted on, I kind of gravitate towards Mynci #2 here, which both has more fur and a more interesting body shape, as well as a more obvious personality to it. (Though I will admit that #3 is the most Neopet-ish of them all.)

Mynci were basically left untouched by customization aside from gaining a fist, so that's a plus.

Favorite Colours:

Stealthy: Stealthy pets sometimes end up looking incredibly busy, with too many details and colors, but the stealthy Mynci gets it just right. I like the subtle dark green and gold palette used to accent the stealthy colour's natural navy and bright blue eyes, and little details like the stitch marks. I also love how the symbols on its headband and belt are clearly in the shape of a Mynci's nose. The only minor thing that bugs me is that those two hairs on top shouldn't be visible.

Royal: I have no idea why these are Shenkuu-based and I do not care (I guess it's because China has a fair amount of monkey species IRL?). Either way, these designs are super pretty, and work well eith the Mynci's design. Both the royalboy and royalgirl feel on par with each other, with both sporting long flowing robes (hanfu) and luck charms—the main difference being the color palettes and the royalboy having a beard and hat while the female has a headdress.

For the record, both versions are fine with the UCs obviously being better, though there are some weird things we lost in the conversion—like, what happened to the RB's beard and tail cuffs, and why did its eye color change? What happened to the RG's ring? Why did the grey in the RB's eyebrows get lighter? But regardless, these are still solid.

Toy: Come on, it's a symbol monkey! You can't not like it. The purple base is pleasant as well and goes well with the red and peach accents, and it looks nice and plastic-y. Bonus points for hiding the fist. (The eyes should've been purple or red though.)

Bonus: If you want something more ape-like and don't vibe with the Mynci's overall design, give the mutant version a spin. I really like the gorilla-like stance and anatomy, the more muted colors with bright red accents, and little details like the devil-shaped tail and extra fur. My only nitpick is that having both ears and horns feels weird—should be one or the other.

[airanke]

//SLAMS IN HERE

Hi hello dear friend i have seen your call to do something!

I request Shion, Amita, and Abi!

HOHOHO this is interesting to do for Shion so it will be interesting to look back at that and see what might have changed!

Shion Rejamike

Flower: Originally, the flower I chose was the daisy! Now, though, I think the flower that suits Shion the best is the spider lily. Though they are commonly associated with death, they also represent rebirth and renewal. Given my new plotline for Shion, this suits him much better! Gemstone: Originally was Andradite Garnet; if he was a gemstone now, he would be the emerald. Element: still air/wind, maybe we'll throw in some storm for spice! Shion is still super chatty if you get him talking about the things he loves! Color: still Purple! It's his favorite color, and he favors any armor and weapons that have purple in them. Word: still Hyggelig - “taking pleasure from the presence of gentle, comforting, and soothing things; a feeling of friendship, warmth, peace, and contentment in a comfortable and cozy atmosphere”. Food: Originally I chose a drink called Sweet Poison for him, but I think now he'd be any kind of animal jerky! Weapon: still a double-barreled shotgun! He uses bows more often now, but if HE was a weapon, then yeah. Double-barreled shotgun.

I CANNOT FIND IF I DID ONE FOR AMITA??? OKAY

Amita Dakini

Flower: God if she was a flower, she would be a rose!!! There's just so many meanings that suit but honestly the fact that it is generally accepted to be the flower of love is the biggest reason~ Gemstone: Moonstone! Why would she be anything other than the stone of the moon~ Element: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm gonna say nature - NO!!! Amita as an element is WATER!! I think this suits her super well as a druid (and dragon at that), because they are so malleable as a class and species (choosing forms and visages and such), and water is just as malleable~ Color: the color of the ocean when the moon reflects off it :T Word: Kilig, "the rush or the inexplicable joy one feels after seeing or experiencing something romantic"! Food: FRIED BANANAS!!! Not only are they Amita's favorite food, BUT!! They are sweet and delectable and everything that Amita is (along with having a bit of a gooey centre LMAO) Weapon: a bladed fan to be honest. Elegant, poised, but oh my god will she cut you to ribbons if you are not careful.

And finally, LOML Abiteth <3333

Abiteth Kenka

Flower: Peony, king of the flowers, flower of the fae, don't touch her or the wrath of her family will come down on you with PRECISION. Gemstone: moss agate!! I chose it for her Gem if she was in Steven Universe, and it's called the gardener's stone and IDK it just fits her so well!! She would totally be that! (Also moss agate comes in pink SOOO). Element: okay hers is obvious, if she was an element she would be earth - the very thing that is stalwart and takes great force to move, but also nurtures the growth of all things (animals, buildings, people, plants). Color: Pink. You will not take that from her, and you will not take that from me, she is pink forever and ever and ever. Word: I was gonna pick a super cute word for this, but realistically if Abiteth was a word she would be Monachopsis, "the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place". Food: hands down she would be candied peony petals!! Sugary sweet and melt in your mouth!! I also debated on her being chocolate covered tarantulas 👀 Weapon: as a weapon, Abiteth would be a whip. I was gonna' say halberd, but that's HER weapon of choice, not what weapon she would be. Also she would be a Trevor Belmont sort of whip, not a regular whip. As if regular whips are not dangerous 😂😂

-Ranking Neopets by Design and Colors-

My sister and I are in a nostalgia kick over neopets and I've decided to do some design geeking and talk about neopet creature design.

Like I am with Pokemon I prefer my Neopets looking definitevely neo-ish, so less like just any old animal you can find in the real world. Keep that in mind as I separate these by both objective opionion ("that's a well designed neopet") vs my personal preferences ("zomg that's MY FAVORITE neopet"). Know that I'm trying to take into account the:

overall design with the basic paintbrush colors

paintbrush creativity

Unconverted vs converted art and how the likability changes therein because of the character that crosses over from the art (I personally dgaf about unconverted art. I think the stock-look for the pets is fine as it is it just sucks to loose what was such cute art for the paintbrushes)

customability

a final note: I've never played neopets for myself. I don't have time to take care of a virtual pet, let alone 4 or more now that I'm an adult. While I'd like to have a neofamily and work hard for the money for them I kind of would really prefer a job first.

All of these preferences come from watching my sister play the game and my own fondness for the pets as toys and as comics over the years.

Format for this post

[neo-species name] [objective opinion/10] | [personal interest/10]

>detailing why and what I like about said pet, personal stories ect.<

Paintbrushes of choice:

[will pick anywhere from 3, 5, or 10 specific colors the neopet looks best in. If it's highlighted = fav colors for them.]

Acaras 6/10 | 4/10

Properly monsterish, though I kind of hate it's feet ngl. Monkeycatrodent thing is alright in my book. I would never have guessed they like to swim or that their horns are bendable. Overall servicably neopet-ish.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Pirate, Halloween, Toy, Pastel, Mutant, Purple, Maraquan, Steampunk, Disco and Royal Boy

Aisha 9/10 | 6/10

One of the most iconic neopet-neopets you could have. Cat-like but not exactly a cat with antenna things. I hated when TNT felt the need to have Aisha characters open their eyes in the comics. Ew.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Shadow, Pastel, Oil Paint, Disco, Cloud, Baby, Candy, Alien, Halloween and Wraith

Bloomaroos 10/10 | 8/10

Perfect realization of a real life animal as a neopet, ESPECIALLY when it stood on it's tail! Delightfully simple, cute and sweet looking. I love Bloomaroos. Certified best bois.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Baby, Christmas, Pirate, Cloud, Mutant, Rainbow, Polkadot, Plushie, Maraquan and Robot

Boris 10/10 | 7/10

You're gonna learn quickly that my favorite neopets are ones that are never unique to one kind of animal but also not just a hybrid. Bori is sufficently armadillo, pangolin and fox like enough all at once. Beautiful wonderbread. Can never get enough of em.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Pastel, Relic, Speckled, Plushie, Halloween, Rainbow, Baby, Fairie, Toy and Woodland.

Bruces 5/10 | 5/10

Literally just a penguin with a bow (yes I know it was og a joke on a real life person). Kinda pointless once Club Penguin was a thing. Sweet but not my fav.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Ice, Darigan, Fairie, Disco, Pastel, Plushie, Halloween, Tyrannian, and Royal Boy and Girl

Buzzes 10/10 | 6/10

Never a big fan of bugs, but I actually like how unique of a bug-creature Buzz is so up it goes. Dragonfly with dragon features never fail!

Paintbrushes of choice:

Camo, Plushie, Fairie, Pastel, Woodland, Baby, Maraquan, Royal Boy, Electric and Skunk

Chias 7/10 | 2/10

Bleh. I don't care for the pets that are just blobs with legs. Also there was that one flashgame where a chia ate innocent petpets so I've always kind of hated it.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Maraquan, Chili Pepper, Disco, Purple and Mutant

Chombys 7/10 | 6/10

Cute dinosaur, but also, just a dinosaur. Not much to say.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Woodland, Tyrannian, Baby, Camouflage, Pink, Royal Boy and Girl, Maraquan, Desert, and Candy.

Cybunnys 3/10 | 8/10

For all I love rabbits, Cybunny's kind of just a rabbit when you get right down to it. An absolutely ADORABLE rabbit, but still. Also it's basic color options are limiting like Usul. Not worth the limited edition in my eyes, but definitely a good solid neopet.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Draik 5/10 | 6/10

kEYUUUte dragon...but, like Cybunny, also just a dragon. Again, drawn very cute. Feels kind of out of place compared to the other Neopets dragons too based on gargoyles, I guess.

Elephantes 7/10 | 7/10

It's hard to mess up an elephant and it's "less is more" here. Personally I think it's new sprite is a VAST improvement compared to it's old one. I hated it's creepy grin growing up. Elephante is a cutesy elephant with a bunny tail and teeny tiny wings that's sitting down in the old art. How can you POSSIBLY ruin that gorgeous art with a nasty toothy grin?

Paintbrushes of choice:

Cloud, Pastel, Mosaic, Fairie, Maraquan, Relic, Tyrannian, Plushie and Royal boy and girl.

Eyries 8/10 | 10/10

Despite it kind of just being a griffon, Eyrie looks pretty sweet. Good use of bird and cat elements rather than just a mish-mash. A regal neopet, like every kid wants when they're smol.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Flotsams 5/10 | 6/10

Not a huge fan of evil/notevil species variants. Apparently it's more of a fish than it is a dolphin which knocks it down a few points as I always wanted it and Jetsam to be dolphins.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Royal Boy and Girl, Pastel, Oil Paint, Woodland, Baby, Halloween, Robot, Plushie and Silver

Gelerts 7/10 | 6/10

Despite just being a dog with long ears and tail something just works about Gelert. If you have to have just a regular animal best make it unique like that.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Toy, Baby, Mutant, Speckled, Candy, Maraquan, Spotted, Wraith, Steampunk and Woodland

Gnorbus 8/10 | 10/10

Funny enough I actually dislike llamas, but Gnorbu is best boi. These guys don't have a threatening bone in their bodies. I just think they're neat. It works as far being both obviously based on a llama/alpaca but still it's own creature. It also looks really good in the new art, better than it did before.

I WANT A GNORBU PLUSHIE SO BAAAAAD!!!

Paintbrushes of choice:

Grarrl 5/10 | 7/10

That's a t-rex alright. I like how friendly they make it in modern day, I guess.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Fairie, Disco, Royal boy and girl, Christmas (unclothed), Toy, Halloween (unclothed), Valentine, Camouflage and Darigan

Grundo 10/10 | 7/10

Neato. Unique but basic alien. Good job. Wish I had more to say. Oh, I guess also when you learn of Neopets' scientology roots they're a little uncomfortable.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Robot, Mutant, Fairie, Royal boy and girl, Plushie, Steampunk, Speckled, Woodland and Glowing

Hissi 5/10 | 6/10

Where I liked it back in the day, I kinda think Hissi now is just "snake with wings". Which like...cool but not that cool. Sorry to be so salty, Hissi.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Plushie, Fairie, Christmas, Halloween, Spotted, Baby, Dimensional, Maraquan, Pastel and Desert

Ixi 6/10 | 9/10

Ixi is drawn very oddly for a goat tbh (it's apparently both a goat and a deer??), but at least it's a cute goat and nicely stylized. Perfectly solid goat-pet.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Jetsam 6/10 | 5/10

Same as Flotsam. Shark man. Pet of the edgy kid who lives down the street who bullies girls he likes because he doesn't know how to show affection.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Baby, Camouflage, Relic, Fairie, Woodland, Pastel, Royal Girl, Electric, Toy and Pirate

Jubjub 9/10 | 3/10

Cuter than a Kiko and Chia but still kind of icky. Idk.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Purple, Baby, Marble, Chocolate and Wraith

Kacheek 10/10 | 10/10

Perfect neopet. Chibi and cute and innocent looking. Great example of a "not specific to any one kind of animal"-design, and perfect complimentary design to Xweetok in terms of early vs later design.

Paintbrushes of Choice:

Pastel, Ghost, Cloud, Valentine, Mutant, Plushie, Disco, Baby, Toy and Relic

Kau 4/10 | 9/10

While that is indeed a VERY cute cow, it is still just kind of...a cow. L for creativity. Otherwise, beautiful cow.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Kiko 8/10 | 1/10

Ew. Sorry Kiko. You can really tell it's one of those early designs. Wholey unappealing to me.

Best paintbrushes:

Halloween, Maraquan and Speckled

Koi 6/10 | 3/10

Freddy Fish. I got nothing else other than I think it looks stupid when it's got it's fists up.

Best paintbrushes:

Rainbow, Disco, Woodland, Pastel and Spotted.

Korbat 6/10 | 9/10

In fantasy-stories and fantasy stories ONLY do I accept long-tailed bats, so good on Korbat for beating the odds and also just being a neopet I've always wanted as a plushie. DARLING fantasybat~

Paintbrushes of Choice:

Kougra 6/10 | 9/10

Like Ixi, Kougra isn't really that stellar as it's JUST a tiger (though they also try to make it over kinds of big cats, which is smart), but they do so much with it and make it very appealing. Also Fairie Kougra was and will always be GORGEOUS.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Fairie, Baby, Island, Desert, Spotted, Christmas, Steampunk, and Royal Boy and Girl.

Krawk 6/10 | 8/10

Cute croc with a cute haircut. I wish I had more to say but I don't. Very fun to draw!

Paintbrushes of choice:

Island, Shadow, Baby, Fairie, Camouflage, Royal Boy and Girl, Christmas, Speckled and Pirate

Kyrii 10/10 | 6/10

Undecided jerk-a$$ rodent wins high for me. You wanna pet it and make it mad. I just found out it's supposed to be a weasel which bumps it up. Still, would never be my first choice.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Pastel, Steampunk, Royal boy and girl, Stealthy, Plushie, Fairie, Skunk, Fire and Halloween

Lenny 7/10 | 7/10

Pretty storkbird but still just kind of a stork. Needs some work. Luckily it has some lovely design touches with it's paintbrushes.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Lupe 7/10 | 5/10

Wolf. It's face-fur always annoyed me. Also it's so overrated by TNT.

Paintbrushes of choice:

White, Royal girl and boy, Mutant, Baby, Darigan, Maraquan, Spotted, Relic, Candy and Christmas

Lutari 7/10 | 5/10

Despite it being a mustelid Lutari just doesn't pass my test. Needs a little more "something" to it's final look. Props to my sister's childhood friend who called it "The Icecream Weasel" before the entire pet was available to create.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Island (undressed), Rainbow, White and Royal boy and girl (undressed).

Meerca 9/10 | 5/10

Manic ball-rodent. Actually looks pretty neat monster-wise though I again I personally wouldn't choose it as my own.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Candy, Fairy, Halloween, Plushie and Toy.

Moehog 7/10 | 10/10

I miss Moehog's old derpy look, but no matter what I love it so much. So delightfully fugly. I could love it up all day. I wish they made more plushies of it back in the Limited Too years.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Myncis 5/10 | 4/10

Potat monkey is cute, but still a monkey. Not my fav.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Halloween, Pastel, Polkadot, Skunk and Toy (with symbols).

Nimmos 4/10 | 1/10

I don't know what about Nimmo I dislike so much but I just dislike it. It looks and feels creepy to me for some reason. I dislike skinny frogs in general. Frogs aren't skinny. They foldy and slim sometimes, not skinny like newts or salamanders are. Icky neopet. Hate it.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Baby, Wraith and Darigan.

Ogrins 9/10 | 5/10

I'm very split on Ogrin. For some reason or another I find Ogrin kind of ugly and overdesigned. Like, it looks like the protagonist to a 3d animated not-Dreamworks film that takes place on another planet who's voiced by Frankie Muniz. And yet I admire it in terms of being a unique creature. Feels like a Dr. Seuss creation because of it's paw feet, or like the camelopard of old beastiaries. As with all personal unfavorites, I like moreso it's paintbrush colors than I do the species overall.

Peophins 5/10 | 9/10

The critical side of my brain is hellbent on pointing out how Peophin is JUST a hypocampus...but the mythology horsegirl in me is just gushing over there being a hypocampus at all. Genuinely I think it's really regal and cute and pretty. Would love one as a plushie. Also I think it's newer art is superior to it's old art.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Poogles 10/10 | 10/10

Perfect dog-thing especially with it's evil toyvariant that always creeped me out. Besides that though it's very much a neopet's neopet with them big ole 2000s' eyes. Love it. The only limited edition pet that I think is worth it's limited-editionness.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Christmas (unclothed), Toy, Candy, Fairie and Robot (unclothed).

Pteris 6/10 | 5/10

Bird. Good bird, I guess. Um...I guess I like it's weird tail?

Paintbrushes of choice:

Christmas, Shadow, Royal boy and girl (unclothed), Fairie.

Quiggles 6/10 | 4/10

Better than Nimmo but that's not saying much. Needs to calm down, even though I appreciate how happy it is.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Halloween, Royal Boy and Girl, Fairie and Robot.

Rukis 6/10 | 3/10

Not a fan of ants and ants, crickets and mantises even less so with anime eyes no less. Buzz's eyes are much better.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Fire, Polkadot and Fairie.

Scorchio 5/10 | 6/10

Basic dragon man that's also definitively neopet-like enough to make it a classic! Though, hard to draw for some reason...

Paintbrushes of choice:

Woodland, Darigan, Fairie, Halloween and Fire.

Shoyru 7/10 | 10/10

Personal fav since I had a beloved Shoyru as a plush as a kid. I count it as a dragon even though it's supposed to be a pterosaur. I think I just really love it's face and body and the fact that it's wings are separate from it's body actually makes it stand out from the dinosaur it's supposed to be.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Fairie, Plushie, Polkadot, Robot, Pirate, Christmas, Woodland, Burlap, Oil Paint and Electric.

Skeith 10/10 | 6/10

Again never liked the "coded to be evil"-type neopets, but a decent grumpygrump dragon person. Adorable.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Royal boy and girl, Biscuit, Camouflage, Baby, Darigan, Halloween, Fairie, Pastel and Woodland.

Techo 4/10 | 4/10

Literally just a lizard. Cool lizard, but still.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Stealthy, Woodland and Fairie

Tonu 6/10 | 6/10

Decent rhino/ancient mammal thing with a hint of triceratops thrown in. Good job.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Pastel, Tyrannian, Orange, and Royal Boy and Girl (unclothed)

Tuskaninny 6/10 | 5/10

Not my fav (and I guess nobody else's fav since they're mega unpopular?) kinda weird eyes, but otherwise cute for a seal/walrus.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Oil paint, Baby, Spotted, Plushie and Royal Boy

Uni 6/10 | 10/10

I have a soft spot for Uni since I overhated it so much as a kid for being 'girly'. TBH I don't hate unicorn/pegasus hybrids in their own isolated fantasy and I think Uni just looks perfectly adequate as one. Also great alt. for My Little Pony lovers who want their ponies looking like ponies again and don't need a cutiemark to enjoy a good fantasy horse.

Paintbrushes of choice (cheated):

Usul 7/10 | 4/10

I have a thing against usuls. Always found them utterly unappealing personally wise and overrated by TNT. They're good 'not exactly squirrel'-creatures but they're hampered by it's basic coloring problems. Also, it always struck me as a "mean girl" neopet even though I guess canonically that's what Uni is. Bleh.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Skunk, Pastel, White, Brown, Royal boy and Girl, Usagi boy and girl, Halloween and Ghost.

Vandagyre 5/10 | 6/10

I don't know what it is. I think it's the pose, but objectively I think Vandagyre is kind of lazy even though other neopets work well with the "this animal but with these other animal parts added on". I feel like the paintbrushes though really go hard or go home for this pandabearowl, so I like that.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Wocky 5/10 | 6/10

Very cute but...literally just a cat. Also it's basic coloring could be annoying with it almost always having a pink-ruff.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Polkadot, Fairie, Baby, Halloween, Ghost, Royal boy and girl (unclothed), Plushie, and Elderly Boy and Girl.

Xweetok 8/10 | 10/10

A more modern answer to Kacheek on account of it being alike to several but never one exact kind of mammal. Better overdesign elements than Ogrin to me.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Split, Fairie, Speckled, Silver, Baby, Halloween, Pink, Royal Boy and Girl and Stealthy.

Yurble 10/10 | 6/10

I remember when this thing debued. Such a fun time! I love how they look vaguely lion-maney but also gerbil like. So cute. So NEOPET.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Fairy, Pirate, Snow, Checkered, Skunk, Plushie, Fire, Origami, Pastel and Purple.

Zafara 9/10 | 8/10

Perfect neopet to end an alphabet with and also just to end off on. Like a neopet version of a Dr. Seuss creation. I love it's smile and it's spikes. It's just very friendly.

Paintbrushes of choice:

Steampunk (unclothed), Woodland, Royal Boy and Girl, Valentine, Starry, Christmas, Plushie, Fairie and Pastel.

[birdyverdie]

continuing our birb discussion... i wanted to ask, are there any real purple birbs?

(no pressure to answer!)

Mmmmm it's 4am rn bcuz I'm a bit of a fool and was drawing my Dungeons and Dragons Owlin character sooo beware my rambling and nonsense ahah ;;

Anyways! There are so many purple birds out there, it's very lovely. However you said "real" purple birds and I may be overthinking this cuz it's late but it reminded me about how blue isn't a real color on birds because there's nothing in a bird's diet that allows for that sort of blue pigmentation. Yknow how bell peppers can be like...red and yellow? Yeah it's cuz they have some antioxidants called carotenoids that create the red/yellow/orange pigmentation. (Pink flamingos are pink cuz shrimp...what would blue birds eat to make them blue? There's really not a blue fruit out there. Don't say blueberries.) And the answer researchers found out for blue on birds feathers is cuz of light wavelength.

Protein structure specifically keratin in their feathers (stuff ur nails and hair is made up of!) kinda refract the blue wavelengths and since all color we see are the colors that aren't absorbed...well. blue!

But for purple--and this is a guess cuz im pulling this out from what i remember of my nutrition class--purple may be their true color. Cuz carotenoids can also mix and match structurally and allow for some green and off kilter blue pigmentation to occur. And yknow. Blue and red = purple.

So. Maybe purple birds. Will do research later. But there are many. Many lovely ones that we can actually see. For example, and my favorite cuz I participated in a volunteer opportunity for these guys:

Purple Martins! What lovely guys, they flock in the hundreds. Seeing these guys pass by overhead was so cool. Ok maybe they're a bit more indigo but they're adorable regardless.

Though if you want a very very vibrant purple.

Violet-backed Starlings. What a banger bird. This bird just knew how to win in the fashion show. This tone of purple with white? Urgh. Slaps. Iridescent too.. lovely.

You're a corvid enjoyer. I think you'll get a kick outta this guy.

Purplish Jay! No I'm not kidding about the name. It's kinda funny cuz it's like hmmm you're not really purple but still purple enough sjjshaha silly!! I love human naming conventions

I know there's a bunch of hummingbirds that have purple feathers I wonder why. Oh flowers. Flowers maybe?? Nectar?? *shrugging noises*

Anyways, personal favorite of the hummingbirds

Lucifer hummingbirds! Have no clue why they named such a tiny lil guy with such a name but humans are silly. Just like birds. I wish there was carcinisation but for birds. Ornithonisation?

Ok I'm not making sense anymore here's the names of other purple birds off the top of my head:

violet-crowned hummingbird.

Purple breasted cotinga. (Cotingas are such goofy birds).

Purple honeycreeper (what a name. Imagine creeping on honey i dont think they even eat honey, just flower nectar.)

Purple Grenadier (finches beloved)

And I forgot the name but it's a Turaco

Anyways good night!! I love chattering about birds

[nochi-quinn]

legend of vox machina season 2 episode 12: The Hope Devourer OR LAIR ACTIONS

my partner went "he's dreaming" literally immediately

I can't figure out what that is on the mantle. brain says probably a dildo of some kind, given that that's anal beads and a flogger hanging over the wood hopper

the painting from brimscythe's lair, lute, more sex toys, dragon tooth?

the painting of them that makes me cry despite vax looking Like That

the troll dick is also on the mantle

not sure whose helmet that is in the case tho

a painting of the keep :(

I can't figure out if that purple book on the shelf is supposed to be anything

me: why tf is there a cameo of a cha - CHAIR

three guesses whose children these are

both the characters and the actors

is that the damn reward poster that led them to fighting umbrasyl in the first place

not fucking kraghammer

okay given that they said the runes they've used other places translated into real language, what are the odds this book actually says something

also is that keyleth's ring she got from kerrek or

it's me, I am the person that one animaniacs skit was talking about

that morph from kaylie to vax was actually really smooth tho, props

"we need a skyship to catch them" percy just really wants a skyship

not the tail slap

stop shittalking the dragon in midair

okay but How tho

heheh, ass-id

grog whaling on umbrasyl like a piñata, if he hits it enough his friends fall out

grog crater 3.0

and now he REALLY doesn't have any bones

studiously looks at notepad so I don't have to look at broken bone

this episode just hits all my major squicks, it's Great :)

that sound effect was 100% unnecessary

I don't know why I love vax's "oh no" so much but here we are

it's the raven from the intro!

WINGS

and now vax can fly 400 miles an hour and throw 67 daggers at once

keyleth: you're so beautiful vex: you get fucking WINGS what the FUCK

I love the little scuff marks on Bad News' scope

"there's no such thing as luck" oh? oh mr. vax "almost got the Lucky feat banned from matt mercer's table forever" ildan?? is that so???

mr. "gave sam reigel shit for not using the halfling feat to reroll natural 1s for two entire campaigns"??? no such thing???

"yup, we're dead"

"we're hurt but so is umbrasyl" smash cut to umbrasyl healing himself

did you just hang up on thordak

"another ominous mountain lair" that's okay it's your favored terrain

[keyleth] flirting: I don't want you to die

as everything from the past 48 hours clicks into place for pike

the Kamaljiori head was a low fucking blow

(little sad we didn't get more about Scanlan and Kam. mb next season)

if I had a nickel for every time Vax went ahead and got caught by an enemy he didn't expect to be in the room and couldn't get past them to escape despite having a perceived physical advantage, I'd only have two nickels but it's weird that it happened twice

HEY you're only supposed to be able to use those once a day

I! Love! the colors! in this lair!

I already love greens and teals so that kind of gradient on the acid effects is targeted at me specifically

"YEP still broken"

the way I broke in half when someone pointed out RQ broke the connection between the twins

"we're splitting the party?" again?

"drop him" drop it, drooooop iiiiit

THE EAR TWITCH such a weird thing to be my favorite trope but here we are

if I had a nickel for every time a powerful enemy used one of vex's siblings as a shield -

I just love the delivery on percy's "get us the FUCK out of here"

vax about 45 minutes late with that "chenga"

"she doesn't control my destiny!" "no, you do" no fate only wyrd

I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH

LAIR ACTIONS

grog has just been Through It these past couple-few days huh

me having to defend scanlan's character arc to my roommate bc she was actively getting bored with Canonically A Coward Scanlan

umbrasyl that is CHEATING

I think if vax says "fate" one more time I'm gonna just leave the room

the way umbrasyl froze at scanlan's voice, chef's kiss

I fucking love the harmonizing with the sword

(another reason umbrasyl probably wouldn't have been able to wield it properly) (besides not having thumbs)

I was almost convinced we were moving up Bard's Lament

"your daughter would have been proud" rest of party: his what now

(I know she was whispering, it's just hilarious to think that's how they found out, like the fucking destiel meme)

"you're ALIVE, motherfucker?!"

mansion time, MANSION TIME

we all precipitated!

if you're not part of the solution etc etc science joke

"and I believe in you" mala: that's just sam and liam

wilhand's new lockeeeeeet

someone pointed out the ptsd percy must have had during this whole scene

an enemy infiltrating his home, his friends and family collapsing in front of him…leave this boy alone

vax I don't know why you thought that'd work

"mind your manners" hehehehehe

see, it WAS sleeping gas

so yennen's been dead at LEAST since they came through from the keep, right

I still cannot hear liam in vorugal and it's driving me nuts. I know it's got all the reverb and shit on it, and he's also fucking gollum so it's not like he's always 100% recognizable, but also I have a reputation to uphold

thordak: I got kids I need this job

LOVE ending on the cracking noise, so fucking good

[shakes internet until season 3 falls out]

[setaflow]

Getting to know y’all

I got tagged by @beammeupbroadway and finally had a second to do this! Thank you or thinking of me, fren 🥰 ❤️

Nickname: Seta is honestly just fine. Y'all don't need to know my real name lolol. Sign: Sagittarius Last Google Search: Whether or not Bryan Adams speaks French. Don't ask me why, I'm a little too ashamed to admit it Song stuck in my head: Hearts Burst into Fire by Bullet For My Valentine. Listen y'all, I'm not a huge BFMV fan, but the guitarwork on this song slaps HARD and it makes me a little bonkers. Sleep: Usually 11:30 p.m. - 7:30 a.m. on the weekdays and whenever - whenever on the weekends, but it really depends on the time of year. I can only sleep in total darkness so if the sun rises early, I'm usually up the second it's up. Wearing: A pair of flannels and an Imagine Dragons concert t-shirt from 2014 (Smoke and Mirrors tour if you were curious). Favourite Song: God, that's such a loaded question because I genuinely have so many and I tend to categorize my love of music in two eras: 0-13 years old where I only listened to my dad's classic rock and 13-26 where I listen to my own shit. For now, I'm gonna offer Ventura Highway by America for the former and Unconsolable by X Ambassadors for the latter, if only as representatives for those two eras Favorite Instrument: Clarinet because it's what I played in middle school :D Aesthetic: Uhhhhhhhhh I don't really have an aesthetic but I guess if I had to pick one I'd go space/galaxies. I don't care if it's 2013's cringe deep purples and stars are cool y'all and I still kinda crave galaxy leggings. Favorite Authors: Professionally, I would say Tom Robbins, Stephan Graham Jones (who I'm reading currently!!!) and Fredrick Backman are pretty high rankers, but I have to also include the Erin Hunters with extreme reluctance for Warriors essentially pivoting my entire life, for better or worse. Fanfic-wise, y'all know I gotta give shoutouts to my peeps beammeupbroadway, heartofsnark, ruruie, emofthechoir, seraphfighter, and so many others for singlehandedly keeping me interested in the fandomside of CP2077, but I want to give shoutouts to my friends @holybatgirlz and @callmeguacamole, who write Bridgerton and Avatar: the Last Airbender respectively and are AMAZING and TALENTED and whose work makes me want to CHEW THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS. Favorite Color: Sky blue and neon green Favorite animal sound: My roommate's dog whenever he makes a dumb "urp" sound. Every time he does it, my roommate and I will look at each other and just go "HE URPED???" back and forth until we lose our shit. Last Song: Carry On by CSNY Last Series: Since football and hockey seasons have picked up, I genuinely can't remember the last series I finished-- it might've been Seinfeld? But I'm currently watching The Last of Us, New Girl, and The Peripheral Random: Listen y'all I have been an ardent Daniel Jones defender since 2020 and I genuinely think the guy can do well in the league with the right build around him, but trying for a >$45 million a year contract??? Nah. Let the guy play another year out in this same system, let him get a feel for the ropes with a softer schedule and hopefully more weapons for him to throw to. I'm more than willing to sign him within the range of $35-$40 but at this rate if he and his agents are stubborn, I wouldn't be surprised if Schoen lets him walk. Idk. I don't think he deserved that fifth-year option but at the same time I acknowledge that a good chunk of the Giants offensive issues were not really his fault (looking at you, JASON). I just hope we can reach a reasonable deal, because he doesn't seem like an unreasonable guy

Too tired to tag so please feel free to fill out if you want!

A Siren's Sea and Pirates' Fee

ShizuyoToshitsuki333

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and Moon return to the ship and he asks you questions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sirens in this aren't based on real sirens.

Mine have color changing eyes, elemental crystals and powers, and different forms like humanoid siren and full siren in the water, as well as on land human form and animal form based on the clan you choose.

This is a reader-insert type story, so I will write the reader-insert parts like so:

(y/n):your name (l/n):last name (e/c):eye color (h/c):hair color (h/l):hair length (b/s):bust size(chest size) (c/s):clothes size (n/l):nail length (n/c):nail color (l/c):lip color (b/t):blood type (f/s):favorite smell (f/t):favorite taste(sweet/salty/sour/etc.) (f/c):favorite color (s/f/c):second favorite color, (s/c):skin color (f/e):favorite element(ice/lightning/air/etc.) (e/p/c):element power color(based on your favorite element, fire=red, ice=light blue, water=dark blue, air=white, lightning=yellow, light=orange, dark=purple, metal=gray, earth=green.) (f/j):favorite jewel (f/a):favorite animal (f/f):favorite flower (f/w):favorite weather (f/o):favorite ornaments/accessories (it can be more than one.) (o/p):ornament place(hair/ankle/neck/etc.)(If you have multiple, just imagine where they all are.) (c/l):clothing length (c/c):clothing colors (c/n): clan name (Snake tongue=Snake, Bear claw=Bear, East pacific=Spider, Dragon scale=Dragon, Tiger teeth=Tiger, Bunny tail=Bunny, Frog spots=Frog, Bird feather=Bird, Horseshoe=Horse, Turtle shell=Turtle, Butterfly wings=Butterfly, also feel free to make your own) (c/a): clan animal(based on clan)(f/d)favorite drink (f/a/d): favorite alcoholic drink

Yes, I know it's a long list. But, I wanted to give as much freedom to the reader as possible, and I know this isn't how sirens are, but this is my version of them.

Chapter 4: Random questions

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and the blue captain board the ship and he leads me to his and Sun's quarters, when he opens the doors we find Sun asleep in his chair, his head leaned back and his mouth open. He shakes his head, walks over to Sun and slings him over his shoulder then tosses him on the left bed. Sun sturs a little but doesn't wake up, instead, he grabs his pillow and cuddles it tightly.

"Why does he always fall asleep on the damned chair, even the one he had before he would fall asleep in it." He grumbles as he returns to the table and sits in the chair Sun was in, "Hmm? I guess t's comfortable." He then crosses his legs and gestures to the chair across from him. I cautiously sit in it while continuing to look around until he clears his throat to catch my attention, "First off the names Captain Moon of the Galaxy Ship."

"So now that we'r away from prying eyes and ears, tell me about yerself." He says and leans his elbows on the table with his chin in his hands.

"You think I'm just gonna give you valuable information without something in return, thought that you were a pirate, not an idiot." I retort with a smirk, there's a glimmer of mischief in his eyes as he chuckles.

"Oh? Well then, what would ya want in exchange?" He asks as he leans back and taps his index finger on the table rhythmically, I take a deep breath and he raises his eyebrow.

“I want to join your crew, I am able to cook and clean, I’m fast on land and in water, I’m good with a sword, I know the seven seas like the back of my hands, and I can make some damn good alcohol.” I state while maintaining eye contact, he scans my face for any signs of lying then sighs, "Fine."

"But, if ye join yer gonna have ta sleep in here because all the beds in the crew quarters are taken." He interjects with a smirk, "That's fine." I agree without a second thought.

"Right, then t's settled." He states and stands from his seat to stand beside me, he notices that I'm still looking ahead and turns my head via my chin to look at him, "Now time to hold yer end of the deal, little star~."

"Just ask me any questions, and I'll answer." I say while looking him in the eyes, we continue to stare into each other's eyes for a moment longer before he drops my chin and returns to his seat, and leans on the table with both elbows, "Alright first question, what are ya?"

"Straight to the point, I see, well I'm a siren, to be more specific I'm a siren from the c/n clan." I answer while looking for an indication of violence from him, instead, he stops leaning on the table and returns upright in the chair.

"A siren ya say, aren't those just a human tale? I mean fish humans with sharp teeth that have a haunting voice, yah right like something that dumb exists." He says with a scoff, "As ye said earlier, I'm a pirate, not an idiot."

My teeth sharpen and my eye turns e/p/c, he doesn't notice my teeth until I open my mouth creepily, "What was that about my race?" I growl.

"Interesting, is that the face ye made to scare those wanna-be thugs?" He asks smugly, I'm taken aback by his demeanor so my eye turns back to e/c and I start laughing, “What’s so funny?”

"You're the first one in a long time to act casual after I've threatened them, the last person…" I trail off sadly.

He senses that it's a sensitive topic so he asks another question, "How do ye have legs?”.

“Humans have made up tales about us for centuries and they’re based on real encounters, but the humans that survive those encounters are only a few and far between each other so details are lost to time and other humans think they’re crazy, also doesn’t help that almost all encounters involve the sea. Very few people know that we can change forms in and out of the water and most of them are either old, dead, labeled as insane, keep it to themselves, friend or family of sirens, or a siren. We have four forms in and out of the water, half-human form which is the full human form on land, full siren form which on land is half siren, half animal, and full animal. Does that answer your question?”.

“Yes I suppose it does.” he chuckles, “Okay next question, ye said something about an animal form, can you elaborate?” he asks.

“Good question, well there are many different types of sirens but they all have those basic forms, each clan has a different animal that they can turn into. You can use your animal form at the age of seven and they only come out for the first time after lots of help from an adult or a traumatic event, I don’t know how many clans there are exactly but I know a few like the Snake tongue, Bear claw, East Pacific, Dragon scale, Tiger teeth, Bunny tail, Frog spots, Bird feather, Horseshoe, Turtle shell, and Butterfly wings.” I continue.

"Why does all of em have an animal in the name except the East Pacific clan?" He asks with a confused expression, "I don't know actually, probably because people would be turned away by a name like spider leg clan." I shrug.

"Ya know I've been called a spider quite a few times myself." He laughs then the look in his eyes darken, a hostile energy radiates off him for a moment then he snaps back to reality and notices my guard is up, "I have a mix of good and bad memories that involve that name, that's all." He responds and clears his throat.

"Question six, ya said that there are many different types of sirens, did ye say that because they can be different animals, or did ya mean something else?" He asks after he recomposes himself, "Interesting deduction, it would be the latter, there are many different types of sirens that are not defined by their clan and animal." I respond, he looks at me like he's waiting for something for a moment.

"Do I have to ask for more details?" He asks with a raised brow, "The answer to your seventh question is, yes." I state with a smirk.

He rolls his eyes and asks his question, "What are the different types of sirens?", "Well, I'm glad you asked!" I say with a sly grin and he scoffs, "There are eight different types of sirens, the seductive siren, like my best friend Rinsuke. Seductive sirens are the only ones with a haunting voice, they can control any human or animal with their voice at will. The shield-scaled siren, their scales are the third toughest material in the world, even bone-eating sirens can't chew through them. Bone-eating sirens have more rows of teeth than any other siren, they have ten rows of teeth, each tooth is strong enough to go through bones like butter and the only things they can't go through are a shield-scaled siren's scales, siren diamonds, and dragon gold. The deep sea siren can survive under high pressure and prefer the dark. The vampire siren drains blood from their prey and is nocturnal, but unlike the human vampire legends, the sun only hurts their eyes and doesn't kill them. The clone siren as Its name states can make illusions that look like it cloned itself and it can send shockwaves through the air and water that makes it seem like the clone is attacking. There are also normal sirens, the basic ones that don't have any other power other than their elemental power. And last but not least the shape-shifting siren, can turn into anything organic or nonorganic but only after reaching maturity."

"Damn that's a lot of sirens. My next question is, what are elemental powers?" He asks, "Elemental powers are powers every siren has, they gain their power at the age of eight and can change their eyes at the age of nine, so to find out what power they have the adults go to the surface and collect jars of fireflies. The kids then take a jar each and try to channel their magic into the jar, whatever color the fireflies lights turn represents what power they have." I answer as the sun starts to set.

Moon notices that the light is draining from the room, "Alright I think that's enough questions for today, we can pick it back up tomorrow evening, for now, ye can use the right bed and I can sleep with Sun in the left." He states as he rises from his chair and makes himself comfortable in the bed with Sun.

I stand and lay down on the bed he offered to me, "Ya not gonna lay under the covers? T's cold tonight and yer gonna get sick if ye don't." He says after sitting up to look at me, "Covers?" I ask, "I don't know what that is, I haven't slept in a bed in over eighteen years." I stare with a blank expression.

He sighs and lifts his hand with said fabric, "This be a cover, t's used to keep yerself warm while ye sleep.", I stand up and raise the blanket and go under it, "Like this? Normally the cleaner fish keep me warm at night."

"Aye, that's how t's used. Wait, cleaner fish? So ye were the one that they were so interested in every night, I was wondering what was under our ship." He states as I drift into a dreamless slumber.

🌙~Pov change~🌙

My head hit the floor with a loud noise, "argh! Fuck'n Sun, ya knocked me out of bed!" I hiss as he lays in a starfish formation on the bed, unaffected.

"Is everything alright?" A sleepy voice mumbles as they sit up, "What was that noise?" They ask while rubbing their eye.

"T's nothing, Sun just sleep kicked me off the bed, just go back to sleep." I grumble while standing and rubbing my head.

"Oh, my older brother used to do that to me. Ya wanna sleep over here?" They ask as they pat the spot next to them, "I don't move in my sleep so don't have to worry about getting ejected from the bed again."

"Are ye sure? I don't want to make ya uncomfortable." I respond while walking to the table, "Yes I'm sure, and you don't make me uncomfortable."

When they said that I was shocked, to say the least, ‘They aren't uncomfortable with me?’ The only thing that has ever not been uncomfortable around me is my brother Sun, even every member of our crew is uncomfortable in my presence.

"Well if ya insist." I state while masking my emotions as I've been since the second day I gained consciousness.

I walk to the right side of my bed and lift the covers enough to slip underneath them, I then turn around and face the wall after I notice that they have already fallen back to sleep.

🔆~Pov change~🔆

I wake up to the sun right in my eyes causing me to groan and sit up, I wipe the artificial drool off my chin and wince at the pounding in my neural circuits from my hangover. I turn my head to look at Moon but instead am greeted by h/c hair cuddled into his chest under the covers and Moon's arm wrapped around Y/n with his face nuzzling the top of their head. My eyes widen at the sight and I stumble to get out of bed, I trip and catch myself at the last second. I hear grumbling as Moon wakes up, he opens his eyes slowly and makes contact with my shocked expression then raises a brow. I point down at Y/n and he looks down, his eyes widen and he sucks in a quick breath causing them to stur, they groan and cuddle deeper into Moon's chest while still asleep. He then blushes and starts to panic, I shush him and gesture for him to calm down. He takes a deep breath to calm himself then looks down at the sleeping creature in his arms and relaxes, I sign to him, *What are they doing here, and why they are in your bed with you*. He responds with a quick version of last night making sure to sign slowly so as not to wake them, I relax when I realize that nothing happened.

'Wait, why am I so relieved that nothing happened between them? I should be disappointed that Moon didn't find someone.' I think to myself, the confusion emanate on my face.

A snap breaks me from my thoughts, I look at Moon as he snaps again and signs, *What's wrong?*. I shake my head and respond by signing, *Nothing, just a hangover*. I walk over to the table and sit in my chair, then I put my arms on the table and lay my head on my arms. I hear sturing again and lift my head upright as Y/n opens their eyes, it takes them a little bit to look up after realizing that they were looking at a shirt, when they make eye contact with Moon they blush and panic causing them to fall off the edge of the bed.

They stand immediately after hitting the floor "I'm okay!", They dust themselves off "Just wasn't expecting to wake up in a chest".

"Ye was cuddling me when I woke up and I couldn't move without waking ya." Moon says as he gets out of bed.

"Sorry if I made you uncomfortable I normally don't move in my sleep, but I also normally have my hands stuck to something like a rock so the currents don't take me." Y/n apologizes while stretching.

After they finish stretching they turn to me, "Hi again Captain Sun."

"Hello." I wave, "Moon said that yer gonna be joining us, but I'm also gonna ask ye some questions."

"I can answer any questions you may have later in the day away from the crew. Until then is there anything that you want, maybe some water?" They ask, noticing my hangover.

"Yeah, It's down in the storage room." I say and point down, "You want some too Captain Moon?"

"Um, yess that'd be lovely~." He hisses as he sits across from Sun, "Okay, be back in a few."

They return with two empty glasses, “Where’s the water?” Me and Moon ask, they walk over to the table and place the glasses in front of us, “Just a moment, I'm about to show you something that I've only shown one person." They state and walk to the window.

⭐~Pov change~⭐

I take a deep breath, "Okay um, don't freak out." I say as I turn to face them.

My eye changes, my ears turn to fins, then the sides of my face and my shoulders grow scales. I close my eyes and concentrate then I hear Sun gasp, I open my eyes and bring the floating bubble of water in the window.

“That’s sea water, t’s too salty to drink. “ Moon states, I pull out a jar and open it, “Where’d ya get that from?” Sun asks.

“From the storage area, I knew that I would need it.” I say as I take out the salt and debris to form their own floating bubbles, I then float the sea salt into the jar and close the lid. “Pink salt is healthier than sea salt because of all the minerals it has that sea salt doesn’t, but I think sea salt is tastier on food.” I state as I rattle the jar, I take the bubble of floating debris and shoot it out of the window and back into the water. I divide the water into two bubbles and float them over to the table, they hover right in front of the two captain’s faces and simultaneously fall into the two glasses with a small splash that gets a drop or two of water on each of their faces.

“Woah, how’d ya do that!?” Sun asks excitedly, “How did ye do that, I didn’t hear anything about that last night, which type of siren has those powers?” Moon asks.

“Any type of siren from any clan can do it, just depends on their family, very few families have this ability.” I state, “Oh.” Moon says, How does it work exactly?” he then asks.

“Well, some families have an extra power or powers. My mom’s side of the family can split apart conjoined molecules like H2O and NaCl aka water and salt, and my dad’s side of the family can make siren diamonds out of stone, they can also absorb siren diamonds to keep them hidden outside their muscles to bring them to the surface of their scales or skin to use as armor or shoot them out their bodies at high speed for projectile weapons. I state.

"What are siren diamonds exactly?" Sun asks with a tilt of his head, "Siren diamonds are clear, sparkling, round, coin-shaped diamonds that are about five centimeters wide and one centimeter thick, they are equal to one thousand gold coins or ten thousand silver coins or a hundred thousand bronze coins and are very rare unless you or someone you know has the ability to make them, they are also the strongest material in the world.” I respond with a smile.

“What’s the other strongest material in the world?” Moon asks, “Dragon gold is the second strongest material and shield siren scales are the third strongest, then there’s bone-eating siren teeth and the next strongest is spider onyx coins then butterfly silver.” I state.

“Okay that’s enough questions, for now, we need to get to work, where are we off to next?” I ask, “We’r goin ta the enchanted forest next, I have some business with someone who lives on one of the three islands. Sun responds, “Alright let's go, off to the enchanted forest!“ I shout as the two captains stand and we all make our way out the door onto the deck.

(forgot to add in this part Aegon is 2 )

Hey I have some editing today (08/12/22]

This is place when people are speaking in high valerion.

(part one. Not fully sure how to link things yet)

Unwanted Daughter.

She wakes up to a knock on her door. Alessya gets out of bed and slowly opens it. She saw two maids with a green dress. 

"umm, that's not mine." 

"yes, Princess, it is a gift from the Queen."

Alessya paused, remembering her father's rants about the Queen. He hated her more than Mother, and she wore green, the color of the Hightowers. 

"That is very nice of the Queen to respect my late mother; I was going to wear a dress she gifted me before she died." 

The maids' eyes widen. They didn't know about your mother's death or thought you were crazy for saying no to the Queen.

"I am sure my step Mother would understand. Ladies, why don't you help Princess Alessya get ready for breakfast with us as one family " haha, she did like this one; she was funny. 

"I am going to guess you are the famous Princess Rhaenrya, my father's favorite," she spoke with a smirk.

Rhaenyra smiled, laughing off, Alessya's comment. "haha, I like you, yes I am Rhaenrya, and I guess I could be" 

The two princesses walk together to breakfast. There was a seat next to Otto and one next to Daemon free. 

"You sit next to my father. I know you want to, " Alessya whispered so only Rhaenyra could hear. The poor Princess's cheeks blushed as she nodded and walked over, taking a seat. Alessya could feel the Queen's eye's on her. She quickly looks at Alicent.

"I must thank you, My Grace, for the lovely free you sent for me. But I don't mean to offend you, but this dress was a gift from my Mother before she died. So I am wearing it in her honor. I hope you understand." giving a slight bow before taking her seat. 

"Well, Princess Alessya, I think you look lovely in that dress; your Mother chose a beautiful dress for you. You do well honoring her; I am sure my daughter understands." The man beside her spoke. His brown eyes look into hers. She knew he was Otto Hightower, the king's hand but nothing more. Well, apart from how much her Father hates him.  She couldn't help but blush at the man's words.

went over two the other two dragons they were visiting.  

They went over and did the same with Syrax; even Otto went over and said Hallo to the giant dragon.

Next to Syrax was a giant dragon. Syrax was already big enough to carry two riders. But this other dragon was a good bit bigger. Not as big as, say, Vhagar, Maybe a little bigger than Daemons dragon.

Alessya saw the beauty of a dragon standing tall. Bright yellow eyes. Her dragon had a mix of dark blue and purple scales. Its face was more of a wolf with small horns along the top of its head. 

"This is dreamfire; he is my dragon, I have had since birth. "

"Hello, my boy, this is my family; please be nice. The young one wanted to meet you." 

Alessya speaks in their mother tongue to her dragon as she rubs her has against the snot, and Dreamfire rubs back and puffs out happily at his rider. Rhaenrya looked for permission to come over to say hi, at Alessya nodded. She slowly came over and stroked the dragon.

Aegon was next; Deamfire bent her head down for the young boy. Who giggled when Dreamfire puffed her smoke into him, causing his hair to go everywhere. 

"We ride, " Aegon's little voice came out, looking at his grandsire. 

"Rhaenrya can take Aegon, and you can come with me, Lord Hand. It will be so fun " Alessya had a smile on her face, a real one-time. She loved riding on Dreamfire. She looked at Otto with pleading eyes. She seems to Aegon, who is doing the same. So she picks him up, both of them pleading with Otto with their eyes. 

"Now that is not fair, Princess; how I meant to say no to the pair of you when you both looked at me like that." 

He knows this will do him good if he goes on one of the beasts with her. She will trust him more. Rheanrya might even see him in a new light as well.

He knows this will do him good if he goes on one of the beasts with her. She will trust him more. Rheanrya might even see him in a new light as well.

Agreeing to ride with Alessya and Aegon with Rhaenrya as long as he is chained in, then yess, they can go. Rhaenrya called for people to help. Before he knows it, he is sitting behide Alessya on her design.

"you can hold my waist, Lord Hand, for balance, of course. "

He doesn't wait for a second, holding into her waist. He takes a breath as he hears at the same time Rhaenrya and Alessya both say 

Fly.

With that, he closes his eyes, and they take off. He slowly opens his eyes, and he can't believe it. He is in the sky.

(not the dragons in the story just thought it would be nice to add )
