fuck it. plaguesona
#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air
#i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona
#this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus
#but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar
#the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after
#the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO
#snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked
#if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake
#and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it
#i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^
#im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of
#axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation...
#possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that
#if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats
#less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life
#otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds
#and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it
