May I request Ace + Octavinelle with an cauliflower jellyfish reader?

Cauliflower jellyfish is a pacific jellyfish species found in the Indo-pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. It is a giant old-world water jellyfish with an odd purple umbrella-shaped bell! They are sometimes called crown jellyfish, which may confuse with the completely unrelated Attollas, also called crown jellyfish.

Cauliflower jellyfishes tolerate freezing water and often live in depths over 3000 meters (9842 ft). They mostly live in the Pelagic zone of many oceans and seas. Their diet consists of Algae, shrimp, plankton, fish eggs, and invertebrate larvae.

woa! That’s really cool! And heck ya I can do this love learning about new sea life! such a pretty yet odd jellyfish!

Said jelly just under the cut as usual.

Description

you usually lived your days floating around the sea and enjoying the currents as you went. you had a large somewhat inverted bell at your hips your tentacles hanging below. you are about 3 feet tall in your mer form, with about 1-foot-long tentacles hanging below you. your skin is a pale semi-translucent purple. You have blue frill-like things on your shoulders. You have short, dark, purple hair and the bell at your hips is a pretty golden/orange color with light blue tentacles hanging below your form.

In your human form, you have fairly pale and near-grey skin, it is a grey-purple color in direct sunlight. Your shoulders are a blue color, almost like they are constantly bruised. you enjoy more flowy, light clothing and wear easy-to-slip-off sandals. You are fairly boneless like other invertebrate merfolk. along your lower legs are lines that mimic your stinging tentacles. your stinging ability is mostly stuck to your legs and feet. so if you ever felt threatened a good kick would have someone doubled over for a few hours.

Octavinelle

Azul: didn’t realy pay you much mine since you just wandered around campus like some sort of ghoul. If you were dumb enough to sign any of his contracts he’ll try to have you waiting tables. When someone tried to harass you and you knocked them out with a strong slap kick. You were then just kinda set to wander with light waiting and secondary security when Floyd skips work. After his overblot he’s glad you’re pretty easy going and forgiving.

When he got to see your enemies he definitely saw a nice money opportunity. Your mer form was regal and beautiful! It would be a beautiful display and you could just float around the tank! But if you didn’t want that then he wouldn’t pressure you much. But he does admire your strange beauty and colors. Is anyone tried to make fun of your for looking like a stupid or weird jellyfish rest assured he will defend you.

Jade: was interested by your pale and somewhat deathly complexion. Asked about your health and you just said it was normal. Under the sunlight then it finally clicked what you were. He liked to observe how you were daily relaxed in your way of thinking. Yet wouldn’t hesitate to kick someone and leave them with a painful aching spot. A bit surprised that your stinging venom is only in your legs but can’t help but smirk when you jump kick someone. might ask you to teach him how to use his legs in a similar matter.

When he saw your mer form he chuckled a bit at your odd shaped bell and bright colors. Assured you it’s fine and that you look very pretty in the water like this. Such vibrant colors would make a fine display in t he lounge aquarium. There would be many happy to watch you float around. If you say no he’ll understand though. Just an offer~

Floyd: little anemony! squishy little thing. With a stinging kick. Likes to poke and prod at you since you’re so jelly like. Calls you anemone since you remind him of a darker type of anemone he’s seen. He just giggled when you try to use your stoning kick against him. Demands asks you to teach him how to kick like that. And in turn he teaches you how to squeeze someone.

when he first saw your merform he realized you were a cauliflower jelly and started to call you by that. Loved to poke and bounce your shoulder frills and just bike at your squishy form in general. He’s a menace to jellyfish and bounces you lol a ball. Launching you through the water despite you trying to sting him. His slime is too thick he’ll explain while bouncing you more. Makes sure you’re fine but love to play with you.

With Special guest

Ace: teases that you look like the ramshackle ghosts with your pale almost deathly complexion. He likes to poke and prod at you many times during class and when just waking around. He tags along on your wandering so he has an excuse to get away from his regular responsibilities. When he saw your blue shoulders he was a bit conserved. Joking at how clumsy you are. You just remark that those are normal. They don’t hurt and nothing wrong. He likes to look at you in the sunlight since your skin is a pretty purple.

when he first saw your mer form he laughed. Pretty rude but once he got himself together he explained that he eats laughing because for 1 the completion made sense, 2 Floyd name for you was dead on, and 3 you did look kinda funny though. Liked to bounce the blue frills on your shoulders and poke at the golden ring around your hips. Careful to avoid your stingers. Other than that though he doesn’t really care that you’re a mer person. As long as you’ve got his back then he’s got yours.

This Solmissus jelly is probably its deep purple color because of its prey—in this case, another purple jelly!⁠ ⁠ Deep-sea jellies have many remarkable shapes, sizes, colors, and bioluminescence capabilities. Using ROVs, MBARI scientists have studied the biodiversity of the deep pelagic zone and uncovered previously unknown complex predator-prey relationships between midwater gelatinous organisms.

La Isla Bonita Berenjena

The sea breeze caressed me as I walked on the golden sand. I will never forget my adventure on Eggplant Island, a place known for its lush landscapes and men with massive attributes. Then, Mandla emerged from the jungle like an ancient god, a warrior with colossal hips, prominent belly, muscled huge legs, and a beard that promised endless stories was the very image of power.

His afro hair, a perfect crown that set his imposing silhouette against the infinite sky. The wings of his armpits, adorned with dark, dense curls, exhaling the intoxicating fragrance of testosterone, effortlessly seducing. And there, among the vast thicket of his pelage and the voluptuous balcony of his belly, stands the legend: a superb deep purple cock, a living icon, swaying with each step like the mast of a ship challenging the waves. For him, the eggplant between his thighs is not just an emoji, it's a banner of his lineage, the glorious insignia of his sovereign virility.

With his hands on his head in a gesture that denoted power and pride, Mandla was the epitome of virility. I won't lie, I felt intimidated yet mesmerized. The myths were true; his cock was of epic proportions, a sweet berenjena that hung between his legs, as imposing and proud as its owner. I was a privileged spectator of a photo session that bordered on the most exquisite obscenity. Mandla looked at me, and his gaze was an implicit invitation to join the fauna of this island of unspeakable pleasures. His poses were a series of obscene declarations and the veins of his dick like paths inviting to a moist and warm journey.

It was like seeing a god among mortals, a lord of the shadows impregnated with the elixir of life, a throbbing fantasy turned flesh and sweat. Without a doubt, for those who, like me, delight in excess, in unfiltered passion, this encounter was a feast for the senses, a feast that started and ended with the monument of lust he flaunted with impunity. Nothing was modest here; everything was excessive, overflowing, and I was there to document every second of the frenzy that only these lands could conceive.

Today, the camera is a witness to the truth behind the myth, and the island plays at being Eden, where the forbidden fruit is not an apple, but the salacious promise of an eggplant.

PART 1 OF ???

Special thanks to my dear interwebz buddy, @skullmalice, for helping me out with the naming and biology of these little muppets!

Long post/textwalling warning.

Well fellas, you know what they say:

Another day, another downward spiral.

Lately I have been on a bit of a nostalgia kick, looking at some of the things I've been into as a child, and speaking to other people that have been spelunking in the same caves, per se. I met a friend who showed me a piece of my childhood that I had almost completely forgotten. Like a wild animal being reintroduced to its natural habitat, I have been all over this shit, reliving everything I once did as a young maggot. Since that fateful reintroduction, that childhood memory has since become one of the most dangerous hyperfixations I have possibly ever had. /j

Said childhood memory? The Mr. Men and Little Miss franchise. More specifically, The Mr. Men Show, because I am early 2000s old school All American™ zoomer scum. (besides that, the only other thing about the franchise I remember is reading some of the books in 1st grade)

So because I got that dawg in me (read: autism), my naturally inquisitive nature leads me to territories that I should never have even considered for the sake of my own sanity.

Namely one question that's been chewing at the few neurons I have:

Just what the hell even are these things, anyway?

I know the canonical answer. They're stylized, abstract humans. But that's not satisfactory.

Call me a stubborn mule, but you simply cannot convince me that a pill, circle, bean, or rectangle shaped technicolor abomination is in any way, shape, or form, a human being.

Not happening.

Especially not when (at least in every version but the 2000s one) these things have been shown next to and interacting with actual humans on multiple occasions.

These fucking things look like muppets, so I will make them muppets.

It has to happen.

Being the fiend for speculative biology that I am, I simply had to pounce on this opportunity, and promptly tear it a new asshole.

With that being said, Mr. Men speculative biology? Mr. Men speculative biology.

The funny little shape people we all know and love belong to a species of chionophilic, semiaquatic, faerie-like pseudomammalians.

The figure on the far left, is a frog. More specifically a common rain frog (Breviceps adspersus)

reference source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breviceps_adspersus#/media/File:Breviceps-adspersus-adspersus.jpg (forgive me, this is literally, and I don't use that word lightly, the first time I have ever drawn a frog)

The figure in the middle, is a hamster. More specifically a Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)

reference source: https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/cute-funny-syrian-hamster-gm1019886932-274048800

The figure on the far right, is a frog's sad attempt at being a hamster's sad attempt at being a human. (Mirabilis phasmafigura)

One of the main things that separate Mirabils from other animals they may be morphologically similar to is their bright, vibrant pelage. Unlike animals that utilize certain structures within hairs, scales, or feathers, Mirabils have genuine green, blue, and purple pigments. But why is this? Such unnatural coloration doesn't work well when you're a small cotton ball in a big world of both predators and prey, that is, unless you're an aposematic species.

Mirabils exhibit vibrant fur colors with genuine rare pigments for the purpose of warning potential predators that they are exceptionally poisonous. And venomous. At the same time.

The inside of the Mirabil's mouth also displays a high amount of contrast, a black inner mouth with a vibrant, pink, hot pink or red tongue.

As shown by the image above, there are multiple different ways for mirabils to assert to potential predators that they are not to be reckoned with.

The "Poisonous" warning (as modeled by Mr. Nervous, on the left), involves arching the back, raising the tail either straight up or curling it over the back (if it is long enough), and exposing the front and hind claws (unless they've got kicks on). All parts of the Mirabil are exasperatingly poisonous, so even accidentally sharing food with or ingesting a few hairs from one can and will lead to a 20 minute lifespan with no hope for any antidotes that would work.

The "Venomous" warning (as modeled by Little Miss Bossy, on the right), involves standing straight or with the front end lowered (preparing to strike), spitting their toxic saliva (Unlike with venomous snakes, the venom glands on a mirabil are their salivary glands, so their saliva normally adopts a greenish-yellowish tint (it's not bad hygiene, it's neurotoxins!), and baring the teeth. Mirabils are capable of opening their jaws up to 90 degrees. Similarly to snakes, the bottom jaw is loosely attached by soft ligaments, which aids them in getting a good hold on either potential predators, prey items larger than themselves, or on rivals for mates (they're immune to their own venom, but the pain of being envenomated for a mirabil is similar to that of a yellow jacket sting). Their venom is just as powerful as their poison, and if bitten the lifespan also shortens to about 20 minutes. Also no antidote for magic hellvenom lol.

It is hypothesized that specimens of M. phasmafigura were first discovered in the late 10th century by populations in Northern Europe/Asia, and the far south of South America respectively. Since then, they were first hunted for their luxuriously soft, silky, colorful pelts, then promptly domesticated and assimilated into human society.

Mirabil domestication has a very complicated history, especially with the fact that they as a species were always, and still are in affiliation with wizards, witches, and other alchemists (though usually unwilling on the Mirabil's terms). They were first utilized as hunting and fishing companions, then taken by wizards as servants and laborers (due to their small, nimble hands, swift movements, and magic properties ofc), then as pet-like companions by both wizards and the general populace, and finally as their own independent, sovereign "people" between the late 1970s to early 1980s.

While the species is currently global, existing in many different cultures, elevations, and climates, the natal habitats of the mirabil lie in freshwater polar regions across the world. When freshwater is not available, Mirabils prefer coastal regions where they can hunt in the open sea, but these sorts of populations are relatively uncommon. Populations living in the Southern Hemisphere generally prefer to stay near freshwater regions in the far south of South America, and South Africa, though there are several populations of Mirabils in Antarctica.

Despite the wide birth of location between Arctic and Antarctic populations, Mirabils have highly variable appearances, and are extremely difficult to categorize into any specific groups besides certain trends in sexual dimprohism, though even those contain many traits that are highly variable, and thus difficult to determine.

Similarly to other animals such as the puma, Mirabils have many names based on the regions they are native to.

Some of the names this species has received in it's respective locations are as follows:

BRITISH ISLES - Dillies (for their somewhat immature, "dilly-dallying" nature)

NORTHEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIA - Poumpoffs (puffy creatures)

NORTHWESTERN EUROPE - Eba (onomatopoeic for the paternal calls of most males)

SOUTH AMERICA - Mirabils (for their magical properties)

SOUTH AFRICA - Sagtmense (literally "soft people")

While some gravesites in their native range contain Mirabil bones, or Mirabils buried with human owners/companions, their skeletal and bodily structures have not differed from prior "feral" forms. This is mostly due to the species as a whole actively resisting human advancement in terms of domestication, meaning they have kept almost all of their wild traits.

My lawyer has advised me not to tell you how these things reproduce, so I won't.

Not on Tumblr, anyway. /wink

But that doesn't mean I can't show you what these hellspawn look like as babbies, and how they develop.

Mirabils are an ovoviviparous, holometabolous species, meaning they lay eggs that hatch inside the body, and go through complete metamorphosis with a larval and pupal stage.

The lifespan of the larval mirabil is as follows:

Unfertilized egg

Fertilized egg

Embryo

Mature egg (Eggs hatch within the body anywhere between 6 and 4 months before the larva are born. The growth process of larva quickly damages the egg membrane and splits it open, freeing the young inside.)

Newborn (They have no limbs and a very underdeveloped notochord, so physically they're basically a kitten-maggot. They're completely blind (eyes covered in skin, with just a barely noticeable fold to where the eyelid would separate), but not deaf (though the ear isn't developed, and is still covered over with skin.). They will respond to auditory input by writhing in the direction of sounds they are familiar with, but are unable to produce any noise themselves, besides forcing air out of the nostrils to "squeak" if they are disturbed.

Oral anatomy of the baby mirabil (As well as having no limbs or bones besides the skull, mirabil larva are jawless. The mouth is designed to form a seal while feeding. Larva will stop suckling to breathe, but they will remain attached for several years).

5 year old infant. As the mirabil reaches around 5 years, they will detach and their mouth will start to seal itself shut, leaving only a small hole for wax to exit from as it prepares for pupation. Before the mouth completely seals itself shut, they may swallow liquified regurgitated materials, usually of heavily chewed plant or fungal matter brok the parents. Once the mouth is completely unuseable, what they have eaten as their "final meal" will repeatedly cycle back and forth from what would be the end of the digestive system, similar to chewing cud except there's no chewing and it's far nastier. Mirabil larva from birth to pupation are unable to defecate, the divet on their rear ends is meant to produce a glue-like substance so they can properly anchor themselves while feeding so they don't dangle, so the stored milk and regurgitated matter that remains in the body will ferment, getting pushed back into the esophagus to be cycled again and again until pupation occurs and the entire internal body digests itself.

Mature infant of 9 years, just about to pupate. The mouth is completely sealed shut, and the salivary glands are modified to produce a brown, waxy substance that the pup envelopes themself in prior to pupation. Eyelids are more developed, but still completely sealed shut until pupation is complete.

Completed cocoon of the baby mirabil. Pupation takes an extra 9 months as the infant produces extra bones, a completed digestive system, and extra organs they did not previously have.

What finally emerges after 9 long months of gross shit, is a variably-sized cotton ball with legs and a face.

Mature babies emerge from their cocoons when they're about 10 years old (our human equivalent to a newborn). Their eyes are open, and they are somewhat mobile, able to shuffle around on their stubby legs and "sit" upright. They don't have any teeth, instead clawing their way out of the cocoon, and will continue to suckle until they are weaned at about 11 years old. Mirabil aging is around 10 years behind their human equivalent (a 21 year old human and a 21 year old mirabil are not the same, the latter is developmentally on par with a human 11 year old).

Their lifespans are also quite long, with an average lifespan of 210.5 years for females and 215.5 years for males.

Baby mirabils will begin to develop a personality and thus recieve their titular names once they are able to move around more independently. Names for physical characteristics are usually given immediately after the baby leaves the cocoon. When named for a personality trait, the most emotionally significant (or lack thereof) moment in a mirabil's life that occurs before they are able to walk upright becomes their strongest personality trait, and thus their name.

Not all Mirabil larvae are a solid white, however. Some larvae have slight indicators as to how they will look like in adulthood, though some indicators of traits present in adulthood do not present themselves until after pupation.

Such indicators include:

Nasal spotting (for Mirabils with noses that are different to the base fur color, their larval forms will almost always have a colored nose with a ring of differently colored fur surrounding it. The bottom larva in figure 2 and the yellow pup in figure 4 are the same, with the larval form indicating that the pupated, and finally adult form will be a yellow individual with a purple nose.)

Brow spots (This indicator does not show itself until after pupation. The pup in figure 3 has dark spots above the eyes that, after puberty will form a bar or 'unibrow' in adulthood.)

Dipsticking (This indicator also does not show itself until after pupation. Dipsticking in Mirabil pups, like the individual in figure 5 have a spot of differently colored fur on the tip or most of the tail. This implies that the pup will grow up to have "hair", or a differently colored mane and tail from the rest of the body. In this case, this individual will grow to have a mane and tail that are a dark purple in color.)

And so that concludes my first of probably several Mr. Men specbio posts.

Uhhhh ermmmm thanks for reading i guess 😳

[Image Description: A species reference sheet for an original alien species called "The Skelarie." They have six limbs, four of which are weight-bearing and double as pterosaur-like wings, though the front wings are much longer than the back ones. The other two limbs are short arms with three fingers that have ridged grippy pads on the tips of the fingers. The Skelarie have four eyes, the front ones being bigger than the back ones, nostrils on the sides of their head, ear slits under their bottom jaws, and feathery moth-like antennae. There no lips covering their teeth. The adult Skelarie are mostly gray-toned, with lighter undersides and darker backs, as well as accent markings on their face, antennae, and wings ranging in color from deep red to bright yellow. The baby is solid brownish-gray. All of them are wearing clothes. On the left side of the reference, there is an older adult skelarie with orange markings standing in profile, wearing a blue shirt, white scarf, and dark blue shoes. At their feet is a baby wearing a diaper laying down and babbling. On the right side of the reference there is a younger skelarie with red markings wearing a pink shirt, brown shoes, a necklace, and peach-colored headphones. They are holding a green book in one hand and pointing with the other. At the top of the reference is a top-down image of a skelarie with yellow markings in flight, wearing a green and white shirt with black and white shoes. This image shows that the shoes have straps around the entire width of each of their wings. The art has a purple-to-white gradient background and is signed "Tundra Echos 2-2024." End Image Description.]

The Skelarie are a genus of six sophont species hailing from the planet Kotladon. They evolved from pelagic flying animals, and still mostly stick to coasts, islands, and "floating cities" on their homeworld. They range in height 3.5 to 5 feet tall at the mid-shoulder.

They are a unisex species that reproduces through wind pollination. They lay between 1 and 4 eggs in a clutch, with an average number of 2. The traditional "Family unit" consists of between 5 and 10 adults, usually only one or two of them lay eggs at a time and the rest just help raise them. Children take around 6 Kotladonian years (12 Earth years) to reach adulthood.

While the Skelarie ventured into space before Humans did, they never figured out faster-than-light travel and therefore hadn't explored much beyond their own solar system. Because of this, it was the Humans who found them, and they were each other's first contact with alien life.

That totally makes sense!! I definitely feel something (mostly pain and awe) when i see your sets <3

What would you say are some of your go to fonts and colors?

– style swap partner 🩵

stop it I'll blush

for colours, I love my reds, blues, and purples <3 my favourite combinations are probably red/black and purple/gold

fonts are harder, but I tend to gravitate towards script and serif as opposed to sans serif fonts! if I had to pick I'd probably say times new roman, paragraphy, the centurion, ambroise, tw cen mt, ettlora, rometano, pelagic bird, esthetique, brittany signature

this is by no means exhaustive! the most fonts I've used in one set was for this set for the usergif typography event, and they're all named in image alts if you'd like to check those out!

Beneath Shared Skies

A painting I commissioned from my friend @thefallencomet depicting a planetary system of my own design.

Alt text in full: [From top to bottom, eight worlds: a planet and its moons. The planet is the cyan gas giant Kizudea, surrounded by its extremely wide rings (which stretch across the entire width of the image and then some). Directly below Kizudea is the steppe moon Kertil, which is dusty orange with purple plants and small bright blue seas. To the left of Kertil is the pelagic moon Tathrodar, which has small green islands as well as a notable ice cap facing directly away from the parent planet. Down and to the right of Tathrodar is tilted Kolayut, which has varied land colors including green, purple, and desertic orange as well as a notably off-kilter appearance due to its extreme axial tilt (producing a north polar cap almost diagonal off the vertical and, due to seasonal effects, icy midlatitudes). Far to the right is the grand moon Taruvidi, heaviest of all the moons, with turquoise oceans and both green and purple photosynthesisis evident on its surface. To the left of Taruvidi is Astharulo, with one green-coasted and desert-hearted supercontinent facing the shot. At far left is icy Imarele, with two vast polar caps as well as a fragmented "outer" cap and several dusty lifeless landmasses. All the moons are cloudy, with storms evident on the surface of some of them. All bodies are roughly in gibbous phase, with the orange parent star Shumatila far off beyond the right side of the image; though the effects of bluer Rhetiffa (near the top of the shot, and visibly oblate despite its small size in the image) provide some lighting on Rotamelica and the rings. There is a galactic dust lane and many background stars visible in the image, plus the local red star Yctrugar and a distant globular cluster. The image is labeled]

Notes:

- Resonance chain: 18:12:6:4:3:2 Kertil-Tathrodar-Kolayut-Taruvidi-Astharulo-Imarele, with several additional resonances as a result of these between various pairs of moons.

- Kizudea's rings are studded with occasional shepherd moonlets, which come together and fall apart relatively often. Other asteroid moons exist within the system, in the rather few stable zones between the resonance moons and in the outer cloud (often in resonance with Rotamelica). In addition, there's Rotamelica's own asteroid submoon Behmus- a mid-sized chunk in a low off-kilter orbit around the moon wth a chaotic rotation.

- Kizudea, while not a brown dwarf, is still a very heavy gas giant- over ten Jupiter masses, in fact. It's even hotter than its relatively temperate orbital position would suggest, and puts out so much infrared light that even on faraway Rotamelica there is a notable temperature difference between apoapsis- on the tidelocked resonance moons, this increased heat on the subplanetary side can manifest in the presence of a cold antiplanetary outer ice cap in addition to the north and south ice caps.

- Kertil's seas come in three types: great lakes, which are shallow but cover very large areas (compare Lake Victoria); trenches, which are very deep but small (compare Lake Tanganyika); and basins, which consist of a great lake joined to a trench and can sequester much of the water of an entire hemisphere (...imagine if the Mediterranean was closed, and on Mars?). Kertil is warm and its relatively thick atmosphere mediates the temperature better than a thinner one would, but it still experiences telltale extra precipitation where an outward cap would be on a colder planet.

- Tathrodar has the most ocean coverage of any moon in the system, but it's also the smallest of the ocean moons (it and Kertil put together are still less massive than any of the other large moons). This and its thin atmosphere conspire to create a prominent outer ice cap. Life on Tathrodar's few islands is expected to have arisen from a panspermia event, though from which moon said life came from is still unclear.

- Kolayut's tilt is not its only odd property, but it explains a lot of them (including its relatively temperate equator). Kolayut has multiple colors of photosynthesis on its surface- in fact, the moon is suspected to have a grand total of four different origins for its life- green photosynthesizers came from Astharulo, purple from Kolayut itself, blue-purple from Rotamelica, and yellow-green possibly from Tathrodar. It also has the highest gravity of any of the moons, owing to its high mass and relatively small radius. Finally, Kolayut has the highest atmospheric pressure of any moon and reaches the highest average temperature.

- Taruvidi is the most massive and largest moon, edging out Rotamelica by a dozen kilometres. It's heavier than most of the other moons put together (excluding Rotamelica and Kolayut), and has a high concentration of helium in its atmosphere. While Taruvidi has multiple photosynthesis colors like Kolayut, both are suspected to have evolved on Taruvidi.

- Astharulo's more tectonically active than it might seem. While nearly all land on its surface is currently arranged into the two supercontinents, each is composed of a mess of smaller plates all grinding against each other- and this activity (and its slightly-low gravity) mean that its mountains are the tallest from sea level in the moon system, with several peaks beating out Kertil's highest shield volcanoes. The supercontinent on the outer hemisphere of the planet is slightly biased towards the north, while the inner-hemisphere one is predominantly southern- they are not antipodal, but notably close to it.

- Imarele has the lowest concentrations of carbon dioxide in the system, owing to plant life that evidently consumed its relatively deficient original supply. As a result of this, its thin atmosphere, and its distance from Kizudea; it is by far the iciest of the moons- while a thin equatorial corridor is always open even in the coldest of times, the surface of the ocean is still rather cold. While its distance from Kizudea dampens the effect, Imarele still has notable effects of its tidelock: its outer ice cap is the most prominent of any moon, though it is fractured. Likewise, the ocean corridor is visibly wider on the planet-facing side. Dry ice would form at its poles... if it had any carbon dioxide.

- Rotamelica is the largest of Kizudea's moons outside the resonance, and even nearly has the highest radius- though its mass is ranked third. Its atmosphere contains the most noble gases of any of the moons- one of many hints of its extra-Kizudea origin. It also contains the highest concentration of carbon dioxide, and as such its greenhouse effect is rather strong. This additional heat, in addition to the rather archipelago-favoring arrangement of land on Rotamelica at present (in contrast with Taruvidi) mean hurricanes wrack its many purple-forested islands very often. Rotamelica's magnetic field also interacts oddly with that of Kizudea.

Willow

You ever sit down with a friend who has the same brain worm infection and stink up a public place with your mutual obsessing?

This particular chapter is a result of that. Shout outs to @nerdbirdlover

While the rest of us have been fraternizing with townsfolk around Pelican Town in this '"Sapphic Valley" series, Lotus has been studying the blade. But she's not ready for the deep farming lore.

---

Fandom: Stardew Valley

Characters: Lotus and Gisabelle (both OCs)

Summary: The abandoned mines beneath Stardew Valley are a perfect place for Lotus to blow off some steam and scrounge together more funds for the farm. However, these catacombs are also a perfect place for the gang's supernatural companion to change Lotus' life forever.

Click through the Read More below for a preview. Thanks for reading <3

The purple-haired farmer wipes calloused hands on her tattered overalls before becoming reacquainted with the opal pommel of her sword. Its uniquely pelagic blade rings as she pulls it from the crystalline earth. Her attention goes to some new chips along its edge, and Lotus curses the compounding inefficiencies under her breath.

A pin could drop in the castle and stir the undead that Lotus just put down throughout its cavernous expanse.

"Lotus!"

The battle-hardened warrior-woman instinctively twirls around and lobs her sword toward the source of this sudden, jarring call. Her shot put game is impressive enough for Olympic consideration, but the pink-haired ghost pulls her incorporeal head back through the ceiling to avoid becoming its target.

Neptune's Glaive bounces off masonry caulking and ricochets down to earth. Lotus cringes as it clatters against the floor, bouncing between blade and hilt.

"Shit-"

Aeon: Vaporwave Dream

Designer’s Reflection: Vaporwave Dream

Obtained: Diamond Arena Season 2

Rarity: UR

Attribute: Purple/Sexy

Awakened Suit: Pelagic Noise

Story - transcripts from Designer’s Reflection

Chapter 1 - Endless Questions

Chapter 2 - Lost Memories

Chapter 3 - Answer from the Ark

Chapter 4 - Losing Control in Deep Sea

Chapter 5 - Truth and Duty

Story - summarized

Aeon still has no idea where he and Marina are from, or why they’re on the Ark. No matter how many times she asks him, he never knows. But that doesn’t stop Marina from asking every day.

One day, a Reflection mirror breaks, and a boy called Lehman is freed. He and Marina play all day... but even Lehman wants to know who he is. They can’t fix the mirror, and Lehman doesn’t remember anything, so he is stuck on the Ark. Aeon does his best to find the answers, repair the mirror, and maintain the rest of the Ark. It’s not easy to do it by himself.

As Aeon goes down the memory stairway to inspect the Heart of the Ark, Lehman follows him. The boy had only been with Marina, so this area was new to him. Aeon tries to keep him away from the Heart - Lehman manages to touch it.

The Heart stops spinning. The Ocean of Memories storms and rages. Aeon tries to pull Lehman back before they both are swept away. Before he does, the Heart shows images of a grave, a family taking in a new son, and the son and father getting angry. The last shard of memory has the father yelling, “I should have known you weren’t my Lehman.”

Lehman shuffles up the stairs, devastated by these new memories. He had wanted to learn his identity, but this wasn’t what he wanted. However... Aeon wonders what would happen if he touched the Heart of the Ark.

His fingers brush against the cold stone, and he falls through a void. He calls for help...

Leonid appears, stabilizing this vision. He tells Aeon that the Ark is the only thing keeping the Ocean of Memories from raging and destroying everything. He also says that Aeon and Marina were born to take care of the Ark in Leonid’s absence.

Back on the Ark, Marina keeps asking Aeon if he knows where they came from. He keeps the truth from her, as he is scared of the chaos that could happen - from the Ocean of Memories and also from Marina’s antics.

Connections

-This was the first time Aeon saw the Ocean of Memories so stormy, but it wasn’t the last. Aeon manages to slip into Miraland in the Reflection for Oceanic Reverie, and that almost destroyed the Ark.

-Both Aeon and Leonid have seen the abyss: Aeon in the vision through the Heart, and Leonid in person in Dustless Feathers.

-Since Marina never knew the dangers of leaving the Ark, she doesn’t understand why Aeon would be so nervous in Vol. 2, Chapter 1, when the two siblings finally step onto Miraland.

-Aeon plays heavy metal for Lehman in Chapter 2. When Aeon finally makes it to Miraland and he goes to the Idol Contest with you, he mentions that he prefers rock music to the Contest music.

Fun Facts

-It’s still unknown if Aeon and Marina are Leonid’s children, or if he appointed them to watch the Ark.

-Marina never finds out about Aeon’s escapades, even though he told himself in this Reflection that he would tell her when the time was right.
