just got the most insane piece of fanmail what the fuck. why is this child learning local human language from my radio show. in the middle of the fucking ocean. apparently they can’t pick anything else up that isn’t the occasional raven station but like i feel like i have some sort of responsibility to not teach this kid how to say fuck every five seconds.
#text #its probably too late tbh #if the kid is seeing this. get off of tumblr

it’s a common misconception, but humans can actually form symbiotic bonds with any sapient creature, actually! the relationship mostly helps with their social and mental requirements, and if there are enough humans in an area to form a community, they’re actually not at all reliant on forming interspecies symbiotic relationships! doesn’t really happen where i’m from though, i think last i heard there are maybe 6 humans in the area max 😅

op i appreciate the button for humans in theory but are you under the impression that we don't show up in our own creation myths???
🕸️ veryseriousmonkey follow

EVERYBODY WELCOME TO
Tumblr media
THE FIRST ANNUAL (AND PROBABLY ONLY UNLESS THIS IS FUN) POLL TOURNAMENT WHERE YOU GUYS GET TO VOTE ON WHICH EXTRA SET OF OCS I ADD TO ART FIGHT THIS YEAR
THE POLLS WILL START WHEN I ACTUALLY MAKE THE GRAPHICS (PROBABLY TOMORROW)
DETERMINE THEIR FATES!
(participant information under the read more)
Magical Girl PA•RO•DI - A trio of magical girls who have been tasked with saving the world from darkness. Their story is a pretty by-the-book magical girl story, until someone suggests that the antagonist moves his plans from "covering the world in darkness" to "completely rewrite reality". Characters that would be entered into Art Fight would be Patty, Roxanne, Diane, the mascot, and the magic baby.
Mermaid Lights! Lovely Recovery - A duo of magical girls, one a normal human and one a mermaid, are tasked with protecting all life on earth from a group that is trying to haphazardly mine the earth for all of its resources. Characters that would be entered into Art Fight would be Amber (human), Wave (mermaid), and their mascots.
Colorful Heart Pals - five bioengineered animal-like heroes created to be as marketable as possible. (I'll be real I don't know what's going on with these guys right now (they just recently got clipped from Maroon Z's story) but they're some of the few OCs I have finished designs for & I still like them so they made it on the list. One is a dolphin, one is a raven, one is a mouse, one is a pig, and one is an octopus.)
Phoenix Girl Ashley - a normal everyday girl discovers that she's the reincarnation of a legendary hero known simply as The Phoenix. Now, she finds herself at odds with all sorts of strange magicians from all over the world. Characters that would be entered include Ashley herself and the phoenix hatchling in her care, Phoebe.
AviBattler - A hit mobile game of the fighting genre based off a cult-classic arcade game that was released over 20 years ago. No one knows who developed this new mobile version. Anyways, Avis are the characters in the game, who grow and change based on the player's fighting style and how they train the Avi. Characters that would be entered are Alex (main protagonist) and his Avi (currently unnamed)
PROJECT★Athena - In the not-so-far future of 2030, corporations run the world and robots are commonplace. 15-year-old Tally finds that her aunt has mysteriously disappeared but left her with a USB drive, which Tally uploads into an android she was building for a school project. The USB drive contains an AI with no memory named Pallas. From there on out, the two of them work to solve the mystery of Tally's aunt's disappearance and the truth about Pallas, whose AI is more complex than it seems. Characters entered into Art Fight would be Tally and Pallas.
Sinnohan Coordinators - a set of 5 Pokémon Coordinators from the Sinnoh Region. The main protagonist, Lila, has dreamed of being a coordinator since she was little, and has planned her path to Top Coordinator down to the smallest detail. But from the moment she meets her Piplup and starts traveling, she begins to learn a lot about the world and about herself. Characters entered into Art Fight would be Lila, Theo (friend/sometimes traveling companion?), Junji (main rival), Kiyomi (friendly rival), Oswalda (rival with problems), and Perry (rich boy rival)
Splatoon OCs - Pretty self-explanatory, they're the player characters/Agents from my Splatoon files. Characters that would be entered include Candy (captain), Sorbet (4), Sweet (8), and Gelato (new3)

tell me about your octopus project?
okay so myyy octopus project is about a lot of things. not even just strictly octopuses. but thats where my focus is primarily. it is set in a far future earth where like, the latest evolutionary trend is that animals just keep on becoming sapient its kindof annoying. this is kind of the fault of humans but the humans that accidentally (sometimes purposefully) set this in motion are like. long dead not much remembered about them beyond vague creation myth stuff. humans in general are still around though, just a bit different. it doesn't have that much plot because it's primarily a worldbuilding project (on purpose) but i have a handful of characters. lou is the singular named one he is like 12 years old and he is trying to reunite with his sister (long story) and he loves radios and language <3

old, smart octopus: do you know how much of your oxygen supply is absorbed by your skin?? you need to wear protective layers when entering polluted areas
rebellious octopus teenager: it’s okay i trained my skin to not absorb toxins

i drew this last night at like 2 am and then wrote a whole thing about it and tumblr deleted it which was really rude. all you really need to know is that i wrote the letters in a specific way that has maybe too much worldbuilding behind it. and you can ask me about it if you want :)
