I don’t know how we’re letting trump get away with all this shit when I truly believe that if you threw a blanket over his head he would think it was nighttime and go to sleep like a bird

hate when someone asks how are you and you say good how are you and they say "oh not so great" or something. it's always like ohh okay i see we're being honest i thought we were playing pretend. can i have a do-over

I am a product of the 1990s and as such I grew up on a steady diet of mecha anime and weird sci-fi/fantasy stuff.

One of my favorite—and I mean FAVORITE—things is what I have always referred to as "bulky 90s future tech."

It's all the super big, chunky, clunky, takes up all the space it can tech that mecha anime and 90s sci-fi depicted as being available in the distant future.

The tech from Cowboy Bebop and Akira are really good examples.

AND APPEARENTLY Y'ALL ARE CALLING CASSETTE FUTURISM OR SOMETHING?! LIKE, WHOMST THE FUCK WAS GONNA TELL ME I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE OVER HERE DROOLING OVER BULKY 90S FUTURE TECH?! THE GREEDY, GREEDY BARBARIANS KEEPING THIS FOR YOURSELVES!

Some context! Kasumi is a character for a Tokyo Ghoul RPG, we did random kagunes for the players and I got Donato Porpora’s.

Since it was kinda hard to find good references I took some freedom to change some aspects of it’s design to fit more into my personal preferences.

Small edit with one of her drawings bc I wanted to see how everything looks together and I feel like I COOKED

they're so great at words

a vengeful spectre. those who approach her notice her resemblance to a beloved knight who lost her life to the sea.

yeah… thats how job complaints work. It wouldn't work nearly as well if he owned a etsy shop and said that shit

grizzled mercenaries are always being like "I'm sick and tired of being a pawn in someone elses game" like their job isn't literally rent-a-pawn

The opposite of “manic pixie dream girl” is “depressed goblin nightmare man,” and, judging by this site, it’s just as attractive to some.

One of my favorite things in sci fi/fantasy with conlangs is when characters have to deliver important speeches or mic drop moments in made up languages

Like Dany's 'Valerian is my mother tongue' in High Valerian

Or Paul's big speech in Dune 2 in Chakobsa

Every time I'm like Yes! Make those actors memorize lines and lines of nonsense and deliver them with their whole chest!

Whatever redesigning process jumpscare because artfight is getting closer.

Algaechh really needs it.

But god I need refs for my main guys.

Her caca face

'The dragons they ride are far from the image typically conjured when one is asked to call to mind the visage of those grandiose beasts. While some do bear that familiar greenish hue, their scales are large and plated, and their posturing strikingly buggish. Their limbs, of which they posess six in addition to their wings, are three-toed and segmented, lending to an exoskeletal appearance. The beasts faces are split asunder by snapping, symmetrical mandibles, globular eyes, and long whisker-like antennae. Their tails are thick and fat, not long and graceful, and their multi-segmented shimmering wings fold like paper to quickly snap in and out of their deceptively small elytron. And yet, despite their fearful countenance, they posess great intellect and emotional awareness, and their riders often speak fondly of them as if they were a friend, not a mount" - Researcher Orane, describing the insectoid dragons often ridden for aerial combat.

Rehashed the general design of Skyfall dragons somewhat. The huge feral varieties do still exist but now we have rideable ones. Some suitably large kingdoms will keep a small wearle of dragonriders to serve as both airborne cavalry for combat against large monsters and other flying threats, and will often have them double as harpy falconers. The combination of a flying mount and a trained harpy in the air frequently leads to a deadly efficient, dynamic partnership, and the trio of Rider, Dragon, and Harpy often form an unbreakable bond that lasts for life. Outside of kingdoms where the practices of dragonriding and harpy falconry are common, spotting this trio is often considered a sign of bad luck, or an omen of war to come. On the funnier side, the 'thumbs up' gesture of an attacking dragon has been adapted by dragonriders to be a sort of insult. Starting off as a rather harsh 'I'd like to gut you', and eventually settling into the more playful but still offensive gesture widely used among whers today (especially among the younger dragonfolk). In our world, the closest equivalent would be sticking up your middle finger at someone.

Sdefa Sdaturday #21

My first youtube video is now live!

This is a video all about my musical conlang Sdefa! You’ll hear some music, learn the basics of how the language works, and go through a few examples in detail!

I couldn’t get into too much detail in a short(ish) video, so I didn’t cover Sdefa writing, but I plan to in a future video. The main example in the video is what I showed in last week’s post, but here it is again in both writing systems:

That means “You’re hearing Sdefa, a musical language that I made.” Now you get to actually hear it!

Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized

My tokyo ghoul oc, Zaire! Ive had him since 2014 so his kagune was long due for a glowup lmao i really like how to koukaku turned out!

RC type biology Headcanons

I have ideas about how the different RC type cells are structured and I’m making that EVERYONES problem

First we have Ukaku. These RC cells can carry large amounts of oxygen, and with the rc pathways, can oxygenate the body more efficiently than humans or any other RC type. The healing is average for a ghoul, the same as bikaku, because the cells themselves are small and light. The kagune is able to absorb so much oxygen that the ghoul can fully rely on it to breathe, and exhaled carbon dioxide can be crystalized with the RC cells on command. The structure constructed of a flow of constantly connecting and reconnecting bonds maneuvering the outer shell of crystalized cells. Some examples are Irimi and Yoshimura

Due to the high energy nature of ukaku, they are very prone to mutations. The most common mutation is the “flare” gene, causing the lack of a crystalized shell that normally contains the flowing cells of the kagune, making it more maneuverable and able to make crystalized projectiles more efficiently, but also makes the usage of it more draining. Some examples are the kirishima siblings

Next there’s Koukaku. These RC cells are large and have tough cell membranes, making them good at stemming bleeding but very slow to grow into other tissues, making Koukaku ghouls the slowest healers. The kagune is dense and powerfully structured, creating clear muscles in it, and covered by a thick shell. This shell is similar to chitin in the way it bonds to the RC cell muscles and like metal in texture, strength and sharpness. The underside of the kagune without the shell covering is soft and sensitive, but the muscle-like formation makes it a hard hitting weapon at the expense of speed. They are tiring to use, but unlike Ukaku, can be used longer with experience and a good physique. Examples of this are Naki and Shuu

Then there’s Rinkaku. These rc cells have a very thin cell membrane, are nearly formless, and can flow and adapt more efficiently than any other type. They can bond to and transform into other types of tissue upon injury in very little time, making them the fastest healers. The kagune is made of RC cell bonds that are loose, making them easily damaged, but maneuverable and with space between other cells for new ones to flow in and regenerate it. The kagune can harden when flexed but is otherwise soft, and can be used for long periods of time without difficulty. Some examples are Kanae and Kaneki

Finally, there’s Bikaku. These are the most basic type as they don’t function to any extreme in any direction. The kagune is a simple muscle that like rinkaku, is soft until hardened, like Ukaku, they heal at an average speed, and like Koukaku, some can have chitinous patches. They tend to average out in abilities, but the jack of all trades fighting style makes it a strong contender against specialized attackers. Some examples are Nishiki and Koma

RC type is so interesting and I wish it was elaborated on more in the show, but at least that leaves more room for me to be a biology bitch

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt of turned me on like it did but alas

i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling
