So either he can lift the car with one arm and change the tire with the other

OR

He lifts the car with his legs and uses his arms to change the tire

sanford madcom if you can hear this PLEASE save us

SO I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW I WANT TO STRUCTURE MY NEVADEANS, LIKE, ANATOMICALLY. ive always had a vague idea in my head BUT what always gave me the most trouble was the legs.

THAT BEING SAID, HERE'S TWO DIAGRAMS OF A MORE "BIOLOGICALLY ACCURATE" NEVADEAN THAN MY USUAL STYLE- ONE LABELLED, ONE NOT!

they r STRANGE critters. used mainly rabbits, penguins and horses for reference here figuring out the legs/paws... im MAD proud of this though, i think it looks really fucking fun n im excited to experiment w incorporating it into my style in the future

ALSO, IMPORTANT INFORMATION: THEY DO, IN FACT, POSSESS THE RIGHT RANGE OF MOTION TO LOAF.

it's considered a little rude to just Do it anywhere since it's such a comfortable position- its like kicking your feet up on your desk in the middle of an office, yk?

side note: shld i make a tag dedicated to my nevadean specbio to make it easier to find? I feel like i shld maybe do that. scratches my big noggin

moved house recently and the movers literally destroyed my insect display case and the specimens inside so i drew the sillies with the insects i think would represent them best to soothe the pain. explanation below the cut (be warned, it’s long and so so fucking nerdy)

(+ sanford bombardier beetle follow-up)

okay so first is doc with a madagascar hissing cockroach. despite cultural connotations, cockroaches are some of the smartest insects (up there with bees, wasps, and termites (which they share an order with — blattodea)), and doc is nothing if not the brains of SQ. madagascar hissing cockroaches are some of the few insects that stay with their offspring for a long while, therefore protecting them. doc is also protective of his men in a somewhat similar fashion, albeit from a distance and behind a cold, stern demeanor. also these roaches can’t fly, and doc can’t drive. there’s a joke in there somewhere but i can’t find it.

then we’ve got hank with an assassin bug. there’s not really any notable species within the family, so it’s just supposed to be a general insect within reduviidae (but not an ectoparasite). some assassin bugs transmit chagas disease, which is mostly always unwanted and detrimental, much like hank’s presence to anyone outside of SQ (or within the SQ, because hank’s loyalty mostly just faults to his own bloodlust). assassin bugs also have one of the most painful insect bites but, unlike hank, they use chemicals (injected via proboscis) to induce pain rather than ripping and tearing. still, the end result is the same.

obviously, what else would sanford have other than a hercules beetle? they’re one of the strongest insects (as evidenced by the horns on their head and prothorax), and sanford is, unarguably, the strongest grunt of the SQ. male hercules beetles use their horns to grapple and fight (both for territory and mates), and sanford also uses very melee-heavy tactics while fighting. they also use their horns to leverage and throw their opponents, and sanford uses his hook with similar tactics. these beetles are very hardy (due to their exoskeleton and hardened elytra) just like sanford, despite his usual lack of clothing and armor.

lastly, there’s deimos and the australian tiger beetle. they’re known as the fastest species of tiger beetle (up to 9 km/h or 5.6 mph) and — not sure if this is canon or a universally accepted headcanon — deimos is the fastest grunt of the SQ. these beetles run so fast and hunt so aggressively that their sensory system literally can’t keep up and their eyes shut off, so they have to stop often (for just a fraction of a second) to regain their faculties, which gives their prey several chances to escape. this reflects in deimos through his jokey demeanor and tendency to not take things seriously until it’s too late. thankfully, the australian tiger beetle is only listed as “near threatened” on the red list, unlike deimos, who is totally fucking dead.

thank you for coming to my ted talk which is just me smushing my two special interests together like a child mixing play-doh

ah! so jolly!
