I had a thought on Twitter dot com that Vash from 98 and Vash from Tristamp are two different critters and I have decided that 98 Vash is like that chaotic Labrador running around the house while Tristamp Vash is more like a skittish gecko.

My roommate has advised me to post about my day. Today I woke up and did my skincare thing. I don’t think it is working. I then finished up my symbol chart for the custom dice that I am getting for the game of “Djinnversoctoannular” which I will explain if this post gets 5 notes ^ U ^.
I then played around with my Critter & Guitari portable microphone which was very silly and whimsical. Then I called audible dot com support to try and figure out why I couldn’t download my copy of “Children of the Lamp” book 4, “The Day of the Djinn Warriors” (although that is not the next book in the series for me, which I will explain later.) Ultimately, they were unable to be of any real assistance, but they gave me a free credit which is nice. Then I went and picked up my Adderall from target.
After I got back from target I spent 4 hours trawling the internet to try and find an audiobook copy of “Children of the Lamp” book 3, “The Cobra King of Kathmandu”, which I eventually found was only available as an e-audiobook through my local library. So, I then hacked into the mainframe and piece by piece stole the audiobook mp3s. I’m quite proud of that accomplishment. Then I found out that the book was all along actually just in my family’s iTunes library. It goes to show that sometimes things are right where you left them.
Thanks for reading my post, x o x o

[Image: Several turnarounds of a funky trilobite-platerodrilus-eryonid-lookin’ guy. She’s the size of a house, and is built like a tank to match. She sports 6 walkin’ legs and 2 pedipalps below her mouth, and her frontmost legs are heavily armored, with thick chitin plates. The pattern is repeated across the rest of her body, with broad, flattened plates extending down to her sinuous tail.
Her face is concealed by another huge, v-shaped plate, with each prong reaching outwards, like horns. Two circular “lenses” are etched into the plate where her eyes would be. They look kind of like goggles, or a knight’s visor. Her muzzle is plated chitin as well, and looks like a shark’s nose crossed with a turtle’s beak. When she opens her mouth, it’s revealed that she has a second set of jaws in her throat. These jaws resemble a squid or octopus beak.
There are some other doodles, too. Reyes picks up a chubby little baby version of the critter, which looks more like a typical trilobite. She smiles a deranged smile at it. Another doodle shows Reyes eating a breakfast burrito in front of the critter’s fully-grown form. The beastie delicately extracts individual pieces of ham from the burrito with her second set of jaws while Reyes isn’t looking.]
you hear about bugs
silly little essays about space bug ecology under the cut. you can read more below or at m0r1bund dot com ▶︎
I’m already doing PR work for fungi, hiveminds, and parasites with the endeme, but what if i did PR for crop pest species too. I’m thinking about tyranids and zerglings and how they hold up a mirror to colonial settler fears. you are afraid of everything the eye can see being extracted by a foreign invader? of the very landscape around you becoming biologically, functionally, culturally, socially uniform? what if the terrible things i did to other people… happened 2 me….
The endeme keys into impaired ecosystems that are artificially kept in the first stages of succession, and that’s the reason it is monstrous and scary and ‘successful’ (like most weeds and pioneer species, it is not competitive and becomes second banana to whoever comes after it.) But I think it would be neat to meet it from the other end and play off of fungal and viral crop diseases. Maybe there are some funny little guys who are, like, not a big deal until you put a monoculture in front of them. Like normally there isn’t a giant interstellar bug in the sky, but you razed + converted an entire planet into its favorite food. what did you expect.
Anyway I think it would be funny if Earth had a cicada ‘nid horrible spacebug spawning event every 17 years or whatever, where the hive masses of the void return to their natal origin and eat all of their young and fuck and die and get eaten by their giant mom. They’re like salmon moving nutrients from the ocean to the continents, except they’re shuttling nutrients from the unfathomable beyond to different planets. And they can crawl onto land and eat all of your corn. You know how it is.
I think what happens is there’s a “larval” stage that spends most of its life as a detritivore, wiggling around in the dirt for 17 years. And then they have a mass emergence event that coincides with the “hive” forms returning from abroad to hunt and eat most of their young. In turn, they’re hunted and eaten by their larger, more predatory peers, climbing up and up the trophic chain until you make it back to The giant space bug herself.
I think this is like a summer gorging event crossed with a rare mineral pilgrimage for them. Fueling up for years and years of floating around in the abyss between worlds, and collecting rare vitamins while they’re at it.
The impact on Earthen flora and fauna is dramatic and mixed. The buggies are playing a really meta game of energetic monopoly, which has also been brewing underground for 17 years. So, their main objective is extracting their larvae + passing them up the chain as food to mom. But they are also looking for other things to eat. They prefer plants, algae, and fungi at the bottom of the trophic chain to critters at higher levels of the chain, because producers make up way more biomass and are doing more efficient energy transactions. They are also trying to minimize what’s basically mass bioaccumulation, which hivemom is *extremely* sensitive to. So, they’re actually quite picky about which individuals have the ‘honor’ of becoming food.
Some people think it’s more complicated than this, and that the hive is making complex land management decisions informed by things like carrying capacity, local extinction, replacement rates, succession, and so on, but that’s craaaaazy hahaha…. They would never develop such a sophisticated relationship with plants and animals…...... Unless?
Either way, this results in very patchy feeding pockets, where some forests might be nibbled down to the dirt, and others are untouched. This also means that most heterotrophs don’t really have anything to worry about during the spawning/eating frenzy. There’s a 7-ton centipede outside the house and she might cause the roof to cave in, but she mostly just wants to eat your potatoes.
Outsiders understandably view this as an apocalyptic feeding event, because oh my god every trophic level is usurped by bugs, and a non-negligible amount of organic matter IS being taken away by bug mom. But they also leave behind an equal mass of dead bugs, individuals who fall prey to the local flora and fauna, have reached the end of their lives, or were deemed “unfit” for intraspecies eating because they have, like, more than 0.3 micrograms of zinc in their body.
Obviously if you were planning on growing any kind of staple crop that year, good luck have fun. But typically their buggy leavings are enough to last other animals through the year while the plantlife recovers. It’s like a rare treat that comes around every 17 years.
All that to say Reyes ate nothing but forbidden lobster tails for several months when she was, like, 10, and she has been thirsting for them ever since.

Now that I’ve got your attention with this meme and sculpture of Annora as a tbh here’s some MORE reasons you should vote for Annora Vaughn Livius in the @thettrpgtournament !!
-The government turned her older brother into a lizard she needs this W
-the best party tank except for that one time she ran at a wizard and that one time her best friend’s dad blew her up with light magic
-has a wyvern named Lavinia. Lavinia is kind of perfect. You don’t want to make Lavinia sad do you??
-yippee.
-wyvern riders are just kind of cool
-SO good at doing her silly little tasks. Like getting rooms at the inn! Or picking up giant eyeballs that the party mage doesn’t want to touch!
-proficient in beastiary. SO good at identifying creatures and critters. Loves aminals^tm
-gives people she deems friends wyvern scales. she has only given two people wyvern scales. maybe you can be the next.
-a loyal and true friend if not a touch* awkward
*very and incredibly
-taught us all the valuable lessons of friends don’t let friends kill their wives. Even if their wives are kind of the worst.
-BORN WITH A HOLY BLESSING!! (A minor one but still cool! She has a sick axe birthmark on her right shoulder)
-“My Mother has Maids.”-Annora, 2023. That’s it. That’s the whole sentence. Said in an attempt to comfort someone.
-made for a very cool tabletop system @/DragonsTableRPG over on Twitter dot com that’s very cool and you should check it out if you like that kind of thing (very cool dark fantasy tabletop systems)
AND THATS. Not all but these are the ones I could think of. Thank you for reading!! :)

My General Fears About the Mighty Nein Animated Series
Amazon Prime announced that an animated adaptation of Critical Role’s second campaign: The Mighty Nein is being made. Awesome! Here’s why I am incredibly nervous in an easy to understand format: A List (of only a couple points but lists are cool)! 1: This is the one that matters the least but I fear that the critical (pun not intended) response won’t be as strong as the reception for the Legend of Vox Machina. Not because of any fault of the show itself but rather I’m nervous that critics will watch the show and feel like it is too similar to VM. This is just a thing that happens when media properties start to expand and Critters might disagree but ultimately it is a concern that critical word of mouth might negatively impact the show. But as I said at the beginning this is the one I’m least nervous about because I think as long as the show is good and faithful to the campaign fans will be happy. Which brings us to...
2. I fear that deviations from the campaign will upset fans of the original streams. While campaign 1 started this whole revolution I think it is fair to say campaign 2 is what ignited the worldwide phenomenon that is Critical Role. And as such in my experience Campaign 2 fans are like, EXTRA defensive of it. When I was first getting in to CR watching C1 I noticed there were episodes in which there was a lot of downtime. I asked around to see if there were guides on skippable episodes or guides to let me know where big important moments happened. People were super helpful and understanding and gave me a guide. When I got into watching C2 and asked that same question. The response I got was “there aren’t any skippable episodes, and it is integral that you don’t skip around in the videos because you might miss something. This campaign isn’t like C1. Every detail is important”. As someone who has finished C2 I can say that this is not true lol. C2 is similar to C1 in that some episodes are totally skippable and not every detail is super important. That being said I’ve seen that sentiment by enough fans of C2 that I am nervous that the show streamlining and shuffling around events may not go over as well with the fans as the changes that came with LOVM.
3. This is basically just point #2.5 but I’m nervous that the series won’t live up to how things played out in the heads of fans. There are some incredible animatics on youtube about major and minor moments from C2 that are so well done that I’m nervous they won’t hit the same in the show. Which is a dumb concern but it is also a concern I had with LOVM. Which thankfully so far hasn’t been the case with me as I think the team have been nailing the emotional beats from C1. Honestly they should be fine and I should have faith in the team.
Anyway this is probably the first time a franchise I’ve loved so much has been adapted into a tv show and this is probably what it feels like for book readers when a big budget movie is made about a series they love. I want it to be really good but am super nervous that it either won’t live up to the expectations or other fans will be bummed. Thanks for humoring this longwinded post Tumblr Dot Com.

"Into the Dreamland"
Our friend here who doesn't stop staring at us is a cat-rabbit and her name is, erm, Cherry? (Still have to consult Baby Names Dot Com to find some name that fits better!). I saw her in a nonsense dream of mine a looong time ago, laughing like crazy for reasons I don't remember or probably didn’t even exist, and when I woke up I quickly did a colored sketch to still remember how she looked like, and now I finally decided to use this critter for a complete art piece. I think this art is a good introduction to this character. This music just got stuck in my head during the art process and couldn't stop thinking about it: https://youtu.be/o7vmukGvMpA?si=WbEedDdl-B4vuiy6 (“You've Come Far, Ness” from Earthbound). I feel like that music fits so well with this. The background actually would have been much more nonsense and random, which would have given the title more justice because dreams are like that most of the time, but I ended up doing something more simple and I ended up liking it. Tetris pieces because yes? Also, I'm pretty proud of the waterfall.

I meant to stick this here way earlier, but I'm shutting up my shop for the summer as of tomorrow evening (Thursday, July 21) until the middle of September. There are still a few beasts in it, including these serene Manticore fellows, so if you Require a Critter, please pop over to heywitch (dot) bigcartel (dot) com (not sure what tumblr's current policy is on links??) & take a look!

Sixteen things I noted about CR2E108 “Traveler Con”
FINALLY IT'S HERE
Love when the captions are dragging Sam :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wait ? Are they going to talk to the Moonweaver, just before the day where the Traveler is pretending to be her ??? That seems like a bad idea !!
"The Mighty Nein : Codependency Issues" sounds about right ? No joke though I immensely love every scene Liam initiates, and this scene did not disappoint. Liam is a masterful player who is also a DM and it shows here : he wants to throw threads of the next arc, and wants them to come up organically. Also Caleb clearly stating his goals is so refreshing, thinking back on what he used to do and who he used to be at the beginning of the campaign. Asking for help ? Character growth ! Also the idea that both Beau and Yasha find meaning in the Mighty Nein... "you guys are my family"... UGLY CRYING AT THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE
Fjord, as another person is coming to him for direction in their life : "I don't know if I give off some sort of a sense of knowing shit..." Beau : "You kind of do, yeah." Fjord : "I really don't. It is a liiiiiiiiiiie..."
Fjord & Beau's discussion about loves, oh my GOD i love them so much. Fjord wasn't shocked when Beau said she has/had a crush on Jester (the Doylist explanation : Travis forgot Fjord wasn't supposed to know ; the Watsonian explanation : even Fjord got it because Beau ain't subtle). I love that it wasn't just about crushes, and that Fjord explained how he felt about life in general and his own journey through it : "I feel like I'm the fourth version of myself since I left Port Damali." I can't wait to see the meta on this scene on tumblr dot com
Beau is living her best life : she can get drunk, but she never has do have a hangover because she's immune to poison.
Oh yes, you bet your ass that I googled "Immigrant Song harp" and "Run to the Hills harp" after Ashley referenced them in describing Yasha's concert.
The Traveler's speech, basically : "This ceremeony with dicks thrown into lava is about... huh... separating yourself from the mortal plane ??! YES ! also fuck the patriarchy lol." I love Marisha hiding herself behind her stuff, wheezing with laughter : "this is SUCH a disaster !"
AND THEN she misinterpreted Celia's action and Beau just tackled her on the ground. How can it be more chaotic at this point ?
Nevermind Sehanine herself intervened and was like "Hum... bitch !" Remember when I said (in my own post, like, this one, further up) that this whole plan was a bad idea ? Yup !
I truly think Jester was ready to sacrifice herself and go with Artagan, chained up, into the Feywild. Only Fjord managed to make her think about the consequences for her and her friends.
"There's gotta be a prison on the moon, right ?" MARISHA DO NO SAY THAT AFTER WHAT I JUST SAW IN CR3
Also I did saw the moon conspiracy video an amazing Critter edited and I... don't believe conspiracy theories in general. But if there was a conspiracy theory I believed in... it would be based on that video. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE MOONS ?
I love the Traveler being "just a guy" after everything that happened to him. He's really taken a slap to his face and that has humbled him, huh. He takes time to talk to the group, even if it's to say shit like "Remember this is me behind every healing spell !"
The Fucking Beau ReBar. Nice legacy, Beau.
Sam : "We should come back here, it's nice. It's hard to get into the V.o. community, but once you're ine, you're in it forever !" SAM. Yeah the best jokes are the ones you reapeat and stretch really really long.

I'm doing cartoon pet portraits! Most of my artwork lately has been more digital/painterly, and I've missed drawing silly animals. I used to draw pets as gifts for people all the time, ever since I was a little kid, and I especially enjoyed capturing something about their personality. Featured here are Moo the yelling cat, Pickles and Sam the cat brothers, Griff and Pan, the other "cat" brothers, Merik the mountain climber and my own little prince Galikat. I'm taking 5 orders for these right now--get in touch via email (virginiagreeneillustration-at-gmail-dot-com) if you want one for yourself or to give one as a gift! (Please use email instead of DMs!) These are 4"x6"ish, ink and marker with a touch of colored pencil, and come signed. $75, and shipping is included if under $10. All I need from you is a good picture of your critter and something about their personality! All these examples are mammals, but y'all know I'd LOVE to do a bird or reptile. <3 Thanks for following my work and I hope you enjoy these characters! #petportraits #funforme #bigillubreak #pets #cartoonpets #someoneaskmeforabird #penandink #markers #cute #silly #havingagoodtime https://www.instagram.com/p/CejrwruOKJ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
