~Tsarina Natasha Frostinia~

Natasha is the current ruler over an island known as "The Frostlands" that exists in a region known as Elementum. She is a snowbird faunae and a powerful Ice Sorceress. The people who know her say that she is gentle yet cold...much like the snow itself...

Mortals are living entities who are subjected to dying unlike Divine or Otherworldly creatures. More often than not, it means that they age, and can easily be killed. Today I will be talking about the "Mortal" beings that exist on Tellus.

The Humans: Humans have existed since the beginning of time, over the course of the years they have built plenty of things that evolved as well as help them in terms of their evolution. They have coexisted with all sorts of creatures that have existed on “Tellus” alongside them or Interdimensional beings that moved there. Unlike their ancestors, they have evolved as well to have superhuman abilities that will help them survive in the abstract world they currently reside in or when they live in another dimension….however not all of them have these abilities. ✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦ There aren't a lot of human based subtypes, however there are a lot of human subtypes that are based around being a product of a human and a non-human. But when it comes to humans, it usually is just a normal person... Most common amongst the beings, they don’t usually have any special abilities about them unless they are able to tap into magical essence, the magic that exists across all worlds, that is linked with their soul and subconscious. Unlike the humans in other universes, the humans in this universe can be born with unnatural eye colors and posses some abilities and skills that help them survive the abstract realm that is Tellus. This is usually determined by genetics or magical essence they are able to use.

The Faunae:

Long ago during the beginning where Man and Beast were two separate beings. These beings often fought each other for survival, and endless chaotic and destructive cycle.…There was a Nature Goddess who watched this seemingly endless battle between Man and Beast, which caused her great pain. The Goddess was named Devana or “Mother Nature” as morals would call her….After growing tired of the endless battles she decided to step in between one of these battles, hearing out both of their problems, an idea struck. Devana decided to merge the two beings to become an entirely new creature so they both have a better understanding of each other and be harmonized as one…they are known as “The Faunae”. 

✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦

The Faunae and their subtypes are classified in their own categories as they all come in different shapes and forms

Average Faunae: are mixed between humanoid with some animalistic features. An example would be a person with rabbit ears and a tail along with the same diet as a rabbit or a cat faunae with feline-like eyes and claws.

Beast Faunae: are a type of being who looks more animalistic then humanoid. They can be mistaken for were-beasts because of this.

Mythical Faunae: are humanoid faunae who have traits from well mythical creatures, an example would be someone with unicorn features! These are more rare so you don't see many of these

Hybrid faunae: hybrids are usually a mix of any race and a faunae, they can range from demon mixed traits to even were-beast mixed traits. The type of hybrid possibilities are almost endless and are  fairly common to see but not as much as your average faunae.

Aquatic Faunae: they are a subgroup of faunae that can only live in bodies of water. Or at least next to a body of water for their needs. They can range from saltwater to freshwater types. An example can be a seahorse faunae to crocodile faunae.

✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦ The Florians: 

Florians started off as simple plants…but as time progressed they to became more and more humanoid. You see long ago these plants yearned to live amongst man and beast but alas the people could never hear their cries..until Devana noticed, she felt for these beings and thus gave them the ability to evolve and live amongst the world like everyone else on “Tellus”. At least that is what the stories tell…They have evolved alongside humans, beasts  and monster for centuries…these plant-like beings were given the name “The Florians”.

✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦

Florians are a species of humanoids who resemble varying plants,  because of this they are classified in their own subtypes as well. Note; all Florians when it comes to their gender work the same way like realistic plants do!!

Floral: Floral Florians are humanoids who are largely based around flowers! They have a lot of flower-like qualities when it comes to their anatomy and depending on the flower has the same needs as them. 

Fungus: Fungus Florians are humanoids based around various forms of Fungi, particularly mushrooms! However mold based Florians are known to exist as well! They are usually seen with big mushroom caps on top of their heads and other times they are seen with little fungi growing from their own bodies.

Wood: Wood Florians are humanoids based around trees and shrubs alike! their skin is often made out of food while their "hair" is made of the leaves depending what kind of wood based plant they are made from. Like most wood based plants in colder seasons their leaves change color but they don't fall off during the winter. Instead they tend to sleep around that time until spring comes.

Carnivorous: Carnivorous Florians are humanoids that primarily eat meat as a source of nutrients! They are based on all kinds of varying Carnivorous plants and unlike their other Florian subtypes they have sharp teeth and claws.

Hydro: Hydro Florians are humanoids who are based off of various water based flora that exist across the varying worlds. They tend to stick around fresh or saltwater areas depending on the type of plant! Their needs are met from the water itself. Their appearance varies, if a Florian is based on a water lily they have a beautiful flower on their head and be able to float along the water. If a Florian is based off of seaweed then their “hair” is made of the same stuff and tends to be very long and have the ability to survive underneath the water compared to their counterparts.

✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦︶꒦꒷☾꒷꒦︶✦ Now my friends...these are but only a few of many beings and creatures that exist across Tellus and other realms....Stay tuned for more~

A dinosaur obsessed 12 year old studied fossils and found a 69 million year old hadrosaur skeleton embedded in rock while hiking. A fisherman in Australia noticed tiny shrimp in his net that looked slightly different from the others and he sent a few specimens to biologists for testing. Turned out to be a never before described species, going unnoticed in a popular lake. I posted a pic ~here on tumblr~ of a weird parasite on a dead fish and a parasitologist found it and asked to report it as the species has never been seen in my area before.

There is so, so much out there we literally don’t even know. And the best way to find that stuff out is to be intensely curious about everything you see. You might not discover a new species but you absolutely will gain a deeper appreciation for the world around you.

You're drunkenly stumbling home one night and from the duckboards through the booze haze you see the most scrumptious ass teasingly glide away deeper into the dark swamp. You follow, legs getting heavier and orientation more difficult by each step.

How many times that scenario has played out in Ditovo is not easy to calculate but it's likely not zero. The more sober locals will tell you that the slamreta, also known as "harlot of the lake", is not a malicious creature, it wants nothing to do with you in fact. This animal uses inflatable sacs on its hind legs to float on the water's surface perfectly still as it looks for fish or other small things to eat. It hunts using its sharp vision and plunges its long neck to reach prey. It's long tail is curled up to act as a stabilizing anchor. At sign of danger the slamreta can deflate the hind leg sacs to dive and swim away. It spends most of its time in water and will build a nest in-between reeds or other shore vegetation.

Ashe and Tabitha Pines

They are the protagonists for part 3 to Secrets of Atheria's story also known as "The Dark Carnival"...the twins get seperated under strange circumstances, Ashe is trying to find his twin with the help of a detective named Kennith Zielinski. All the while they're both uncovering the truth behind Edith's Circus

Tabitha finds herself in a strange and twisted realm that appears like an endless circus, with the help of a few members of Edith's Circus they attempt to help her escape that place all the while trying to avoid Edith's grasps...

Tabitha is a gentle sweetheart who is very relaxed, however she can be a little nosey when it comes to things around her but asides from that she is a huge optimist and quite clumsy.

Ashe is more quiet and distant compared to his twin as well as being a bit of a pessimist Though don't let his distance fool you, he has a softer side. He is also protective and looks out for his twin a lot, beings as they only had each other for the majority of their lives.

Rant incoming

I feel like the problem with a lot of Disney's live action remakes (and arguably Wish) is they're trying to appeal to a crowd that no longer exists, namely the people who used to claim that the Disney Princesses were sexist.

All the interviews tend to include, "Well she's not chasing a MAN anymore" which...almost no one sees the princesses like that, anymore. Virtually NO ONE still believes the princesses are man-chasing sexist caricatures of women.

Cinderella is now hailed as an abuse victim who stayed strong long enough to get help to get out of her situation. Anyone who says she should have saved herself is basically regarded as a victim blamer. And it's very clear in the film she wasn't looking to marry the prince, she just wanted a night off. She was the only one who wasn't in line to meet him. She didn't find out she met the prince until he went looking for her!

Snow White is now hailed for her negotiation skills, ability to calm down after extreme stress (she had a moment of panic and had to cry for a bit, but who wouldn't after finding out The Queen hired someone to kill you?), and ability to take charge of a house of adult men. And again, she was an abuse victim, this time trying to escape ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. While she dreamed of her prince, it was secondary to her main goal of SURVIVAL. There are also entire video essays about how Snow White gave hope to people during The Great Depression.

Everyone acknowledges that Ariel wanted to be human BEFORE meeting Eric. We all know she was a nerd hyperfixating on humans, and also standing up to her prejudiced father.

We understand Sleeping Beauty wasn't the main character, the Three Good Fairies were, AND PHILLIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEATEN MALEFICENT WITHOUT THEM! He literally depended on them! WOMEN SAVED THE DAY! But even then, is it really such a sin for a girl to fantasize about romance and fall for someone with corny pickup lines?

We all understand Jasmine just wanted someone to treat her LIKE A PERSON. She rejected every Prince before Aladdin because they treated her like a prize. So why did they need her to want to be Sultan? How did that make her more feminist when she already wanted to be treated like an equal and have a say in her future? Is it only empowering if you want a career in politics?

We admire that Belle, despite living in a judgemental village, was kind to everyone (even though she found the village life dull), and her story teaches girls that the guy everyone else loves isn't always a good guy. What's sexist about teaching girls about red flags? And she didn't start being nice to The Beast until he started treating her with respect and kindness.

Do I really NEED to defend Mulan or Tiana? I think they speak for themselves.

Rapunzel was yet another abuse victim who just needed a little help to get out of her bad situation. In this case, she also needed to learn that she was an abuse victim, and that what Mother Gothel did WASN'T normal, much like many victims of gaslighting.

And don't get me started on the non-princess animals.

Perdita had a healthy relationship with Pongo to the point she was open to express her pregnancy fears to him, and was ready to TEAR APART Cruella's goons for daring to touch her puppies as well as adopting the other puppies. Like, she was so ferocious the goons mistook her for a hyena! She's basically that "I AM THAT GIRL'S MOTHER!" scene from SpyXFamily if Yor were a dog. She and her husband were a TEAM.....but they made a Cruella live action to turn her into a girlboss?! The literal animal abuser!? THAT'S the woman you wanted to put on a pedestal when Perdita was RIGHT THERE!?

Duchess kept her kittens calm after they had been catnapped and was classy as heck. Nice to everyone regardless of social class during a time period where that was uncommon.

Lady stood up to Tramp when she believed he had abandoned her and didn't really care about her. She found out he was a heartbreaker and was like, "Nuh uh. No. You are not doing that to me! You put me through enough."

Miss Bianca from The Rescuers was IN CHARGE the whole movie, and was willing to risk life and limb to save an innocent child. THAT TINY MOUSE TOOK ON ALLIGATORS! And she picked Bernard to accompany her because he was the only one who wasn't ogling her. And then in the sequel SHE DID IT ALL AGAIN! I wish I were as brave as her.

Like, the public haven't accused these ladies of being sexist caricatures since 2014 (Actresses and actors don't count, they're out of touch like the rest of Hollywood) yet Disney is operating under the assumption that the public still thinks that way, hence all the "sHe'S nOt AfTeR a MaN iN ThIs VeRsIOn" talk.

The live action remakes are trying to attract an audience that doesn't really exist much, anymore, and back when it did exist, was comprised mainly of people who didn't actually watch the films. The Disney princesses are no longer seen as sexist, and feminine qualities are no longer seen as weak or undesirable.
