Haha creatureifacation ray goes woowoowoowowoo

I REALLY like how Flow and Spyke turned out, I might give them both proper backgrounds at some point

[restlessreveries]

Kinda shipping Sym x Anemone for the sake of the gradual warmth and acceptance as Anemone overcomes her hatred for Xenos and is both surprised and frustrated by how much sweeter this weird alien is than the guy she wasted several years with.

... And also because I can’t think of anything that would infuriate non-therapy Vace more. I can’t help it, the spite is too strong in me.

But wouldn’t it be badass if Vace goes to hurt him and she finally goes feral because standing up for yourself is hard but few things match the fury of seeing someone you care for get hurt.

Another IWATEX Music thingy. Not all of these are gonna be angsty but I gotta get these outta the way. Another life where you either don’t leave the colony or you join the soldiers and work to kill the xenos. Pink is Dys blue is You

“On with the Show” by Queen but I’m mapping this after how they sing it in Moulin Rouge as that’s how I’m familiar with it.

You were sat up on the walls, questioning everything once more with your back turned to Vertumna as you gazed out over the colony. You heard quiet footsteps as Dys came to stand by your side, a hand placed on your shoulder. You often wondered if he saw the dreams too, or if your interactions were just pure coincidence.

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

Whatever happens, we leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance,

You chanced a glance over to Vace and Anemone, arguing once more about one thing or another. Your parents graves side by side with so many others.

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

The show must go on

The show must go on

Outside the dawn is breaking

On the stage

That holds our final destiny

The show must go on

The show must go on

Dys never made eye contact with you once, choosing rather to watch the rising suns of Vertumna. You joined his gaze as tears pricked your eyes.

Inside my heart is breaking

My makeup may be flaking

But my smile, still, stays on

His grip on your shoulder tightened as he repeated once more.

The show must go on

The show must go on

On with the show

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the show

You sat there in silence for a moment longer before Dys eventually walked away. Leaving you to your will and way to complete this life and do the best you could to ensure the show went on.

This one isn’t as long, but to me it’s very emotional especially within the context of Moulin Rouge. Plan to do a few more songs from there as there’s some love songs in it I want to include Sym in.

I’ve been drowning in anemone

Here you’ll never get the best of me

a few varieties of bulge/male genitalia designs i’ve seen and like the general look of. I’m not saying Tiashar can grow some uber-bulge that is some kind of distillation of all of these combined into one hypothetical ultimate set up, but i am saying that is exactly what she does. these might also make for good modding options for other characters if desired.

most of these are taken from the tf-themed RPGs produced by Fenoxo, like corruption of champions or trials in tainted space, since that’s mainly where I get exposed to stuff like this

anemone style: a big wiggly tendril, with a base of smaller ones that sort of stuff themselves into drip pleasure venom. colorful, prehensile and opening itself to a lot of different possibilities! i like to use this one as a potential baseline for neat xeno-bulges; add traits and sizes from the other ones as needed. unsure if the mini-tendrils work best as an analogue to a knot or if they should grow into other ancillary bulges?

equine: this one’s fairly popular, possibly because its close enough to a human look to not be too unusual. The size and bulk of this are fun to play around with, and if it slides out of a sheath, that’s a really good visual! i tend to get these a lot for my characters early on, but that’s mostly because i like to give my character a lot of the bunny/horse hybrid mods specifically for the chance of getting a gestation speed boost.

tentacle: this one is funny because honestly, if it’s just a tentacle it doesn’t really interest me much; there usually needs to be a bit more to it, in terms of design quirks, for me to really go for the design. However, some aspects of this i like; prehensile bulges are one of my favorite things. I also like the idea of a bulge that isn’t particularly rigid (though it is firm) and will fit into any available opening without trouble.

insectoid/ovipositor: bit of a catch all term here, but i like some features from these variety of xeno bulges. not only is laying eggs a must, it helps to make it kind of visually obvious that’s what they do.

bulge/nook combo: not a specific type but more of a general thing where the bulge comes out of the nook, or they are the same organ in some way. For example, maybe the bulge’s tip irises open into something like a nook, and retracts into the body when not being used in a penetrative act? it being retracted into the body and extending outwards is also good.

other general things i like: prehensile-ness is good in general. soft ridges, nubby pleasure spikes and sometimes admit i kinda large large and throbby veins when it comes to bulges, specifically. Also, extreme size is kinda important for this sort of thing: if you must have it, it should be as big as possible! Preferably with some sort of physical adaptation so it doesn’t become inconvenient, particularly for a partner.

First Expedition

On 07 JAN 3306, me and several others from HYCO set out to explore the Formidine Rift. Here we are before setting out: https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246173127/the-beginning-on-07-jan-3306-me-and-several

We first made checkpoint in the Crab Nebula. Station X out there was a sight for sore eyes.

From Crab Nebula we then headed to the Formidine Rift Alpha site, as seen here: https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246257012/ah-the-formidine-rift-alpha-site-it-was-spooky

After this, a couple of members had to turn back due to news that the Thargoids were returning, and HYCO is primarily combat and xeno-hunting more than exploration. Since I am a designated explorer, I wanted to press further into the Rift and see how far I could go.

The next spot is one my husband, CMDR Satcom2023 told me to visit. The Zurara, located orbiting Syreadiae JX-F c0 1, is an abandoned megaship with audio logs you can scan. If you want to know more about the lore behind it but don't want to make the trip out there, here: https://canonn.science/codex/the-zurara/

After that, I was on my own to explore as I pleased. I decided to cross over into the Elysian Shore, using an O Class star as a checkpoint. While I was on my way I was doing my usual honk and scan when I found a planet with biological signals, four of them to be exact.

What I was happy to find at each of these sites were pumpkins, CMDR husband called them. The scientific term is Rubeum Bioluminescent Anemones, and boy some of them were huge! Pumpkins larger than my SRV! You can see them here, and visit them on Schafeau DB-O E6-0! This netted me a 50K Codex payout. Noice.

Here are the photos for the creepy and large pumpkins, https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246629442/the-stellar-background-with-the-glow-of-the And a short video with audio showing just how creepy the glow was: https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246666019/you-never-know-what-youll-find-out-here

Once I was done checking out all the sites and finding new materials, I continued on to the O class star I set as a marker.

Passing this checkpoint boosted my confidence to keep going, as well as provided a stellar shot. Not long after that I had a big blue wavy boi, waving me into a new system: https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246727227/the-o-class-star-was-massive-and-the-bottom-boi

I decided I would make the long trek home. 183 jumps from the O class star to Udihokoja (my home system) felt like nothing now, so I decided to stop along certain systems to explore. I found a planet with carbon dioxide geysers, and scanning them got me another 50K Codex payday. The site I landed at was at the bottom of a hilly canyon, and it would rumble as I drove near certain geysers.

https://cmdrcatnipwitch31.tumblr.com/post/190246800572/this-planet-i-stopped-on-had-geysers-that-rumbled

And finally, here are the results from my first large expedition:

Start date: Jan 7 3306 End date: Jan 13 3306

Starting credits: 22,491,134 Ending credits: 109,506,707

Expedition CR total: 87,061,045

Rank before: Ranger (19%) Rank after: Pioneer (11%)

Bounties: 74,796 data point Intel for empire 59,996 data point Intel for federation 45,471 data point Intel for alliance 100,000 Codex discoveries

Highest payout: 3,499,218 Total hyperspace jumps: 1,602 Max distance from start: 13,276 Systems visited: 1,346

Current play time: 6D 19H 37M

All around, it was an amazing journey and the feeling I got getting closer to the bubble as I returned was like no other. I've come to really love exploration, and I will no doubt hit Elite one day. Next month I will be getting a new computer and I am looking to start roleplaying in Elite and recording videos to post. This has turned into a great hobby and even if no one else cares, it's nice to come home and know that I have endless potential in this simulated scale of our universe. And being able to play alongside my husband has given me a joy I didn't think possible. I cannot wait to see what the future holds. If you like this content, please check out these referral links.
