Kinda needed this today, not gonna lie.

I've never retweeted something quicker in my life

alright kids let’s break this down one last fuckin time (and this is a breakdown of just aesthetics)-

goth: all black, often very elaborate, gothically inspired (obviously), not branded

emo: still lots of black but much more casual, skinny jeans, certain brand shirts (usually music-themed), converse/vans, jewelry, specific hairstyles, think 2000’s hot topic kids

punk: lots of black again, very elaborate but in a completely different way, studs, chains, patches, piercings, leather, another set of specific hairstyles and bright hair colors, really rooted in anarchical themes

grunge: old clothes, flannels, oversized, layers, ripped jeans, distressed **if you’re buying “grunge” clothes new, you’re a fucking sham, the entire grunge aesthetic arose from garage bands too poor to afford clothes that weren’t thrifted, poorly sized, and already worn out**

additionally, all of these include elements of gender non-conformity and prioritize self-expression as well as identification as belonging to a group

and remember!!! all of these are actual subcultures, not just aesthetics, so when you say you’re “being goth/etc” remember to specify that you mean aesthetically, because its not fair to boil an entire subgroup of people down to just their aesthetic trends

When playing Exploding Kittens and you got the exploding kitten and defused it. If you shuffle the kitten back in the pile, you are lawful good. If you place it at the top of the pile, you’re chaotic neutral, if you place your card at the bottom of the pile, you... you are truly chaotic evil. You like so slowly watch as everyone is paranoid because they haven’t see the exploding kitten in a long time. It’s down to the final few cards, and everyone is desperate to not get the kitten. but only you know where it is.

Luckily my family doesn’t know about my tumbler. My secrets are safe with me.

I am confused about something. I've been taking notes about Pluris, Skelinktons and their hybrid (cuz you guys made some amazing species) and I've notice something. You said that Pluris are basically born as adults, yet Mono was born as a baby. Was that specific to the Hybrid cuz ink magic or something else? Also, what age dose the antennae develop for a pluris? And the void wanted to say you are amazing and that it loves your creations.

Mono is more skelinktons than Pluris I think. His features follow Pluris but his body still goes through a growing stage like PJ did. though his mental capabilities grew exponentially just like a pluris would. Omni and Nemo were born adults. Their parent cell split in half to make them and they basically sit for a number of days to reconstruct themselves from basically.. a cut in half pluris body. It takes a couple of days to fully form the other half of their bodies but they always have their antennas. The antennas are their main sensory organ anyway in that shape. They have four of them on the tops of their heads.

TLDR; Pluris as a species are absolutely born as adults physically, this takes a few days before they're up and walking. It takes a little time forming their personality but they are still adults. Mono is not fully a pluris and just follows PJs physical life cycle with the brain capacity of a pluris.

Hope that helps! And the void is very sweet. I know I called my followers in the past sugar cookies because y'all so fucking sweet but now I'm inclined to refer to y'all as The Void collectively and then individually y'all void cookies or something now lol. Sound cute or dumb?

[zozo-the-zoguy]

This is exactly how I imagine gatekeepers to sound like. Spot on. XD

[zozo-the-zoguy]

God, I love trans headcannons. You don’t even need a resons for them, I just love them.

I just had a big brain realisation about my own au. Paperjam grew up never really knowing what gender was. Ink would get their pronouns mixed up forgetting their lack of gender and error for the most part used he or it. So when pj raised gradient he didn’t know what girls were no one explained it cause he never saw any (as most of the multiverse is just sans.) GRADIENT COULD OF BEEN A GIRL AND THEY WOULD USE MASCULINE PRONOUNS THEIR WHOLE CHILDHOOD. I’m not saying I’m gonna do it because I’m a sucker for cannon BUT.

trans male gradient.

Can I just say: I LOVE 0.2 AND SPLAT. Fun fact, I based Neon off of Splat. Because I think the ink parasite can be a really intresting species, and I feel like Crazycakessunesart dose a good job at exploring the species of both parasites and ink parasites. 

Yeah~ Here is the actual Reference of 0.2 and Splat  because i need it tho XD 

*Waits or the screams because 0.2 is pretty dank high*

[zozo-the-zoguy]

I wanna make a music comic. But I’m not sure which one.

Baby it’s Cold Outside (probably gonna try to make it less sus) with Merz x Alice.

Stupid With Love from Mean Girls. Again, with Alice and Merz.

Jenny from Studio Killer with Merz and Alice.

Little Miss Perfect with Luminita.

What Is This Feeling from Wicked with Vixen and Alice.

If I Could Tell Her from Dear Even Hansen with Teddy and Vixen.

Defying Gravity from Wicked with Alice and Vixen again.

Or Dose Anyone Have A Map from Dear Even Hanson with Alice and Cheshire's parents Hinna and Ace.

Or should I play dolls with my characters and put them in cute outfits? I think I’ll do that until I figure out what I wanna do.

[zozo-the-zoguy]

Happy New Year!! I was playing on Dergun Town and I wanted to make some combo forms for my OC, Mono, Omni, and Ubi on the game, because I think combo forms are neet (even though I know they’re not possible, lol). I got stuck on what I wanted to do for Omni’s combo form, since they have mulitible forms that would be kinda hard to create on a pony. So I decided to draw out the combo form then make the pony.

Omni - @cereusblue​

[zozo-the-zoguy]

I colored in the Christmas outfits!

[zozo-the-zoguy]

Consistency? What’s that? As you can tell, I was kinda lazy with this comic. I was trying to get it done before Christmas, but that didn’t happen. lol So here’s a late Christmas present. I might make a color ref for Alice’s and Merz’s Christmas outfits. That’s going on my to do list.

Merz, being a cybrog ink pluris, is weak against water types, and Alice often forgets that.

[zozo-the-zoguy]

Imma reblog this, because I love the desine of Sticker and Gloss. I’m really liking the whole, rainbow barf style of characters, and those two really match that astetic. Plus, I love their bubbly personalities. It goes along with their design. 10/10.

GO GO GO!

Don’t mind me. Just taking notes.

Weird question: Can Pluris get human diseases and viruses? Quarantine got me thinking about this. Because, Covid for an example, isn't it specific to humans? So would a Pluris get it or are they immune because they aren't humans? Would they suffer the same effects or would they be asymptomatic? Would they spread it like humans do, or would they just spread it like dogs can (spread through surface area), and would this translate to Mono the same, since he's an Ink Pluris hybrid?

Covid is actually NOT specific to just humans! Dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, bats, and shrews can also contract the virus. So while this heavily debates on the anatomy of monsters vs humans, I suppose it really depends what the pluris was able to transform into. Their regular body is very susceptible to disease since it's literally one living cell that then duplicates into millions when shapeshifted. They don't have lungs, but covid can attach to more than just cells in the lungs like heart, brain, kidney, liver, etc. So likely, if they contracted it while in pluris form they would be dead pretty damn quickly since covid just indiscriminately destroys cells. Shapeshifting however.. Well, if you take into account that some races would not be able to contract it because it doesn't latch on to those types of creatures.. it's basically like giving the virus an uno reverse. If you change your body makeup in a way that even if the virus attaches to you, it just can't seem to affect you the same way it would to human cells? Then that pluris would merely be able to carry the virus till it died off.

As for Mono, that would be hard to say. He's mostly ink, doesn't have lungs, doesn't have a heart or technically a brain or blood. If it were my guess, (without asking Skoop because he's not home rn, I'll reply in the comments later when he is) I would say it might make him sickly if it attached to his soul but might not kill him. He can't shapeshift like Omni can but he's still weird anatomy wise. I guess that also depends on how skelinktons can get sick. Hey @7goodangel can PJ get covid- LOL

TLDR; So can Pluris get it? Yes with extra steps. But the pluris can more easily combat it by completely restructuring their anatomy to something the virus can't attack. Their ability to adapt is what allows them to survive disease and is the main reason they have this function on top of giving them the ability to function well in their environment.

Can Mono get it? .... Maybe, I'll get back to you on that.

Reminder for future me to read through the blind list. Fun fact: Luminita is blind. One of the defects of her type of Fire Skele. The magic for a skeleton to see is not the same as the fire magic to see. The magic hybrid is enough to hold together the bones, but not hybrid enough to make proper eyes. There are some Fire Skele’s theat do have eyes, but that’ rare, and they most likely won’t have fire hair like Luminita.

Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

I call this: Falling In Love. You get it? Cause they’re falling? This was pretty experimental for me, but I’m pretty proud of it! This is Merz x Alice. My favorite couple! I’m questioning what the ship name should be.
