#fucking JACKSON'S CHAMELEONS

[nixotinix]

Hehe here's a funky lil redraw that I finished up today!! I liked the *idea* of lil lo-fi Jax, but way back in November (ish) of last year, I don't quite thing I had the skills to pull it off. So, I redid it!

[oh-my-hubris]

Do you ever get one hour of sleep and then get irrationally pissed off that the deathclaws in fallout are supposed to be genetically modified Jackson’s Chameleons when they have no traits that would link them to fucking chameleons morer than any other goddamn reptile

In my heart of hearts they are horned lizards and can shoot blood from their eyes. 

[csmeaner]

I think cham owner minds will explode when they discover the jackson chameleon (is that the name of the thing?) Since its apparently disrespectful to draw a lizard with a horn

they won't know what the fuck it is/j

of Montreal Announces 'Lady On The Cusp' out May 17 | “Yung Hearts Bleed Free” Single/Video | Headline Tour

Kevin Barnes, Of Montreal, a musical chameleon who has long called Georgia home, first set foot in the vibrant college-rock scene of Athens in 1996. Embracing an ethos of fluidity in both gender and genre, Barnes has crafted complex, delightful records that sparkle with a radical brilliance, powered by personal strife and exuberance. With a career spanning nearly three decades, Barnes and of Montreal have left an indelible mark on stages, televisions, dance floors, stereos, and within the political landscape, both locally and internationally. Now, as they prepare to bid farewell to Athens, of Montreal heralds the arrival of their latest studio venture, Lady On The Cusp, slated for release on May 17 via Polyvinyl Record Co. This album promises to be a magnificent culmination of the band’s explorations, serving as Barnes’ swansong from their Georgia roots as they embrace a new chapter in the snow-capped embrace of southern Vermont. “Lady On The Cusp” emerges from a period of transition, capturing Barnes and their partner, musician Christina Schneider, as they poised themselves for relocation. The album weaves together a rich tapestry of introspection and forward-looking optimism, all presented through Barnes’ signature prism of eclectic pop. The 10-track odyssey navigates a range of emotions—humor and melancholy, sensuality and introspection, levity and depth—ushering listeners into new territories of thought and sound. Leading the charge is the effervescent single “Yung Hearts Bleed Free,” a track that pays homage to Barnes’ influences with a mix of self-deprecation and admiration for the libertine and the lost. Released alongside a captivating video, the song embodies a candid reflection on the imperfections and beauty of a life lived without restraint, marking an exciting pivot point in Barnes’ illustrious career.

[13thpythagoras]

vocalist and guitarist, putting feelers out for music Collabs with the Tumblr community

startdate 2023, August 25 - I guess I'm a verified karaoke shark in the water...It was after I crushed The New Radicals' You Get What You Give that broke that party loose; I'm loving this, the KJ last night announced to the group after my last song that it's time for me to have my own band, I must concur and he's a world class KJ with a velvet voice of his own who's been doing it for decades and seeing everyone come and go, I just crush way too many songs without mistakes... my voice is a chameleon and I can pretty much imitate anybody from Frank Sinatra to Manu Chao, to Marty Robbins, to the darkness, Muse, to Red Hot chili peppers, beejees, only singers I can't hang with are Michael Jackson, James Brown and Whitney Houston, Chaka Kahn, they set a higher standard than myself and I pay homage to the greats...for a cracker race traitor accomplice to the peoples' liberation, I'm about as peerless as they come. I think my problem isn't lacking soul or talent or passion. It's how I can dial back my passion, so I'm not fucking crying while I sing.

maybe it's time to let go of that phobia as well ... I feel like as long as my crying doesn't affect my voice. I'll be fine. I guess this is what it looks like when a writer decides to become a singer.

Venting about shit i just talked to my sister about but it's easier to articulate online vs speaking so here.

I don't WANT to be a "daddies girl". I've always loved my Mom more because she takes the time and energy to actually raise us. but because i don't like making decisions without all the info so I'd ask my dad his side and because i looked like my dad i was deemed a daddies girl. But because i stopped going for a bit, which was the happiest I've ever been, he keeps buying all 3 of us animals we don't know anything about to keep us tied down. We can't leave because if we did the animals would die or be given away. My sister is already getting ready to leave because she can't stand him and doesn't want her guinea pigs either way. My youngest sisters could leave whenever, the only animal either would miss would be the dogs (one sister is actually one dogs legal owner, the other just loves them). But I'm stuck. Because i left. I'm tied down with fucking cinder blocks in the form of reptiles that all live at least 8 years and i can't take them because my Momma hates them. I can't take the only animals that were EVER my idea, my snake Toast and my red eared sliders Wade and Vanessa (who my father named. because everything must be his way.) And of course I'd want to take Godzilla and Delilah, but they were never my idea. I'm constantly having to talk him out of it and try to say no and he doesn't fucking listen. after we got our most recent chameleon, a Jackson's named Mozar, WHICH WAS HIS IDEA!!!, he said 'now why would you do that?'. DO WHAT??? He constantly is talking about how I'm his favorite and how he wants me to move to Australia with him but only me and maybe my sisters etc etc etc. He also had the authority to cancel my permit at any time. until I'm 18. yay

he doesn't even take care of any of the animals that he insists he will while we're away. My sliders are coated in algae because he lets it build up, Delilah had the incorrect diet and has the incorrect humidity to the point she is starting to pyramid, Toast had the wrong humidity, my chameleons are constantly out of water and he can't coat crickets in the preprepared calcium and vitamin dusting i have in a tub for them, and my sister's guinea pigs and birds are always our of food and or water.

I don't want to go with him ever. I want to go with my mom.

anyways. Can't leave. I only need to last till college, that's all I have to remind myself of. Just till college, then i can take my reptiles and licence and leave.

23, 27, 28 ✨

23. Strange habits?

Oh, so many. I am Makes Noises With Mouth In Boredom - Shrek and Fiona would hate me lmao. Also I brush my teeth with warm water because I once had a professor mention it as a quirky thing couples might discover when they move in together and I haven't gone back to cold water since.

27. Favorite activity to do in cold weather?

Well, idk how cold we're thinking but I immediately thought of rain and I love to get fucking soaked. Catch me outside on a walk listening to a great playlist and don't offer me a ride home

28. Five songs to describe you?

I gotta narrow it down to 5?????

- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. I know, it's a cheesy pick and everyone loves this song but it's everything actually. Also I used to have it memorized on the piano and I am very mad I lost the sheet music cuz I wanna learn it again.

- Merry Go Round Life by Joe Hisaishi from Howl's Moving Castle. Be still my heart, it is so fucking pretty and very fun to play on violin actually.

- Chameleon by Mako. This one maybe wasn't intended to be relatable while I was questioning being queer but holy hell was it relatable and it was my comfort song for a bit.

- Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. Fun fact, I grew up playing in a cover band with my dad and this was a song I would regularly sing (and always mix up the lyrics on lmao). I very much have the musical taste of your average dad because of this.

- The Other Side of Hollywood from Julie and the Phantoms. It's Cheyenne Jackson. It's jazzy villain music. It's gay AF. It's partying in the afterlife. Theatre kid go brrrrr.

Anyway let’s not pretend like we don’t love the fact that there are still some big predators that can fuck us up. Lions and wolves and crocodiles and sharks wouldn’t have nearly the cultural impact they do if we weren’t in awe of their capacity to bite our heads off. So yeah this is my top ten list of modern predators (within some reasonable limitations of physics) that I wish were also big enough that we ever have to beware them:

Axolotls

Caecilians

Budgetts frogs

Bobbit worms

Jackson’s chameleons

Mexican mole lizards

Literally any gastropod

Solenodons

MUDSKIPPERS, how amazing would that be, don’t tell me you wouldn’t love to live in a world where one day you get to hear the viral news story of like a big game hunter who ignored the clear warnings of his indigenous safari guide and got eaten to death by goddamn mudskippers

k so i've been thinking about the chaotix and rogues recently but especially my purple bisexuals (after someone requested the fic i'll start posting soon, and meeting a bunch of espave shippers too) and i just wanna say off the bat:

wave is definitely a common house martin, and espio is a jacksons chameleon (pretty sure most people agree on espio's but i see nothing about wave. i'll elaborate on why's she's common house another time)

the rogues and chaotix have completely different reactions to the winter, because birds migrate south and reptiles/bees sorta... slow down because they're cold blooded and have various needs. i'd have to explain all the species to make my points clear but like... tired chaotix with crazy high heating bills vs the rogues with their condo down south? literal snowbirds??? HILARIOUS AND FUNNY AND A MESS

but get this...

imagine jet inviting the chaotix to stay with them one winter and all the shenanigans that would ensue:

vector is living the dream since he is made for this weather (and it is free)

jet doesn't give a shit (he's probably a peregrine falcon bc speed and nobility and whatnot)

charmy is freaking out just as bad as in cold weather (bees can't get too hot!)

storm arguably cares less than jet because albatrosses aren't physically affected by heat (though it endangers their food supply irl, this isn't relevant for mobians. not sure what type he is as i forget what i researched last time, but i don't hc him as native to Babylon, which for us is the present day middle east but more specifically Iraq)

wave is having the time of her life but is pissed if they aren't in the city so she drags them all to the mainland (common house martins like urban settings)

and espio??? well, he doesn't stop fucking with the thermostat bc chameleons need different temperatures depending on the time of day (and i'm pretty sure jacksons need even colder temps at night than most chameleons)

so basically, it's a nightmare. espio and charmy regretting their excitement but vector won't budge bc it's free trip that is comfy for him. storm being the only one with enough energy and endurance to be dragged around by charmy as he cools off and warms up on loop. vector and jet being mentor-mentee goals. espio being the only one who agrees to go with wave to the mainland bc he can never get his room cold enough so he uses the freezing ac in stores to take naps while wave shops. SO MUCH TO SAY AND DO!!!

i might write it.

[ID: four drawings of furry!tim stoker, who is a jackson's chameleon. in the first, he looks furious and has his hands raised. he is saying "FUCK you, i got eaten by WORMS because of you!". he is colored mostly dark with triangle-shaped patches of light: the stress coloration of a jackson's chameleon. he also has this coloration in the second image, where he is leaning on an unspecified surface. he looks annoyed. he is wearing a t-shirt that reads "i steal office supplies because i hate my boss". in the next image, he is smiling, and pointing towards his nasal horn, which has two donuts hanging off it. he says "people say chameleon horns are for display- that's actually a common misconception. they're donut holders." in the final image, he is being whacked in the face by a granola bar which he attempted to reel in with his tongue, sending his glasses flying. the caption above him reads "cross-office snack-stealing manouver: failure". end ID]

Did they fucking give Jackson Crossfade as a pet because Jackson’s Chameleon is an actual species of chameleon that exists.

If so that’s a a brilliant joke.

Also I’m such an idiot I didn’t even realize the reason he’s name Crossfade is because Crossfade is an audio mixing technique on a DJ mixer.

Hi! i really enjoy your daemon au and i-ve gone and watched the new his dark materials series because of it. i love your take on daemons and was wondering if you have nymore headcanons for the other boys? what's luz's daemon? liptons? how do you pick their names? are there any daemons who Re the same sex as their humans? you dont have to rwply if you dont want to i just wanted to tell you i enjoy your world very much!!

Oh, hi! I’m glad you’re watching the new His Dark Materials adaptation! It’s pretty good, huh?

I do have headcanons for not just most of the boys but for the world itself. Though I also call it His Dark Materials!AU alongside daemon!AU it’s actually more the latter than the former. The only things I carried over into this AU from the original world of His Dark Materials are the existence of daemons, the fact that daemons are made of Dust particles, and the existence of witches. The magisterium or any kind of theocracy doesn’t exist. The authority and the angels also do not carry over. Instead, our own religions exist, but there’s just as much emphasis on spiritualism and mysticism as there is on moralism, which I believe would be the natural development of religion in this world where your soul/daemon, the spiritual aspect of you, is literally there for everybody else to see.

All of the boys have small or medium sized daemons, the biggest probably belonging to that of Ron and Tab, who have an Ocelot daemon and a sheepdog daemon respectively. The reason for this being that small or medium sized daemons are easily carried and they, alongside bird or other kinds of flying daemons, are preferred by the airborne. You still gotta jump out of a perfectly good airplane largely undetected. Can’t do that with an elephant daemon. 

Ok. This got real long so I’m putting the rest under the cut. tw: mentions of death, trauma, and mutilation.

Some of the younger boys’ daemons haven’t settled. Miller, Hashey, Garcia, and Jackson. Hashey and Garcia’s settle in Hageneu. Miller and Jackson never get the chance.

Shifty’s daemon, Myrtle, is a Capybara. But he doesn’t know that. Every time somebody asked him what his daemon was, he’d shrug, say ‘Don’t rightly know,’ then leave it at that. What can he do? Capybara’s aren’t native to Virginia and he’s never been out of Virginia. Webster was the one to tell him that Myrtle was a Capybara because he’d read about them in a book somewhere that one time. Myrtle was startled by this and said; “I thought I was some kind of dog!” that was one of the few times she ever spoke out-loud during the whole war.

As I’ve said before in this post, Lew’s daemon is a chameleon named Amalthea. For all of the events of episode 9, Lew kept her in his pocket and that scared almost everybody shitless, because it made it seem like he was walking around without a daemon. The replacements assigned to them around that time, like O’Keefe, thought he didn’t have a soul. He never bothered to correct them because that meant letting Amalthea out, and the idea of her being in the open and vulnerable made him especially ill. He’d rather people thought he was soulless than allow himself and Amalthea to get hurt again. Which is so Lewis.

Skip has a hummingbird daemon named Ilaria, which is a name that means happiness and joy. This daemon-human duo wasn’t hard for me to figure out. It just fits.

Malarkey’s daemon is an artic hare with a summer coat named Felis. She’s settled, but after Foy and after losing Skip and Alex and Buck, she changes again. Subtlely, of course, and not wholely. She stays an artic hare, but instead of a summer coat, she permanently has a winter coat.

It’s not uncommon in this world for your daemon to change after severe trauma. I bet as the field of psychology expands, so does the understanding of trauma’s effects on the soul expand. There’s many studies on the changing of once settled daemons in relation to soldiers’ PTSD.

Buck’s daemon, a male bald eagle named Romulus, changes entirely. Still a bird, but instead of an eagle, he turns into a snowy owl. Before the war, he was a chatty daemon. After, he barely speaks and only does so to Buck and, very rarely, to those close to them.

Eugene Sledge’s male daemon, Daecon goes from a blood hound and gets turned into a Luzon bleeding heart-- which, I know is on the nose but it’s just. It’s such a cool bird, ya’ll. I’ve seen one up-close and ever since that day, I have not known any peace. The shift would be painful and would happen very slowly. It was actually horrific and was a trauma in and of itself. That was the last time they ever changed, though.

I also headcanon that the longer you’ve been settled, the harder and more painful the shift.

Merriell Shelton’s daemon settles in Gloucester. Into what, I’m not sure yet, but a part of me thinks she’s settled into some kind of big cat from the rain forests. Either a cloud leopard or a jaguar. Her name’s Charlotte but he calls her Lottie. Don’t ask me why. It just fits.

That being said, I have some Thoughts about people with big cat daemons. They’re usually aloof. Like, they make a very impactful first impression but they’re mostly solitary individuals who are weird af and difficult to get to know. It takes a really special person to tame a human with a big cat daemon. Once you earn their trust, that’s for life. They’re also really self-assured and are very secure in their sense of self. There is almost little to no tension between big cat daemons and their humans, and if there is, it gets explosive.

Ron Speirs has a big cat daemon, a female Ocelot named Aurele. She never talks, not even to Ron. They have this silent gaze/telepathy going on. Ron also takes on a couple of animalistic traits because of it. They could also... stretch their bond really far? Which is scary as fuck. People think he’s the son of a witch who, in her desperation to make him immortal, made him go through the ritual that allows a witch and her daemon to part for long periods of time and great distances. This is not true. Ron and Aurele just have really high pain tolerance.

Eugene Roe, on the other hand, is the son of a witch. His maman, however, did not make him go through the ritual because he’s not her first son. She knows the pain of outliving her sons well. She loves him all the same but understands that he will die well before her. Eugene’s daemon is a male kinkajou named Louis. Which is both a surprise and also not. For much of the war there’s a lot of tension there. Louis craves connection with others, Roe needs isolation to keep their sanity. It kind of turns into this thing where, if you wanted to comfort Roe or be close to him, you’d have to go through his daemon instead.

Babe’s daemon is a squirrel. A very chatty female russian squirrel named Abigail. They talk to each other a lot, and Abby talks to other people a lot too. Sometimes, she even answers in lieu of Babe. They’re both very blunt and very out there, no hiding with Babe and Abby. It used to get them into a lot of trouble with the nuns at school, who believed that daemons are only meant to be seen and not heard. A+ Catholic repression.

George’s daemon was a little tricky to me. I know his daemon is female and that her name is Thalia. I also know that she can fly. My first thought was: Parrot, either a hyacinth macaw or a white cockatoo. But, I also really like the idea of George having a Butterfly daemon. Particularly one that looks like a leaf when her wings are folded up but is brilliantly jewel toned when she opens them. In the end, I opted for George entering the army, having not settled just yet, and he and Thalia are this kind of double-act, where she shifts into whatever form is necessary for the punchline of the joke. She only settles into a parrot (idk still what kind) after their first jump and all the excitement in Carentan. A gradual thing. They don’t even notice until just before the jump in Holland. When they miss someone, Thalia will mimic that person’s voice. First, it was George’s mama and the voice of her daemon, both speaking in rapid fire portugese. Later on, in Austria, Thalia starts imitating all the friends they’ve lost. Sometimes she’ll sound like Skip. Other times, she’ll sound like Bill. It takes a very long time for her to break this habit. To the point wherein she and George don’t even remember what her real voice sounds like.

Lip’s daemon settled really early and is a female Bonobo named Jane. Has been since he was ten and made man of the house. This, like Skip and Ilaria, was very easy for me to figure out.

Dick’s daemon is a Caracara raptor bird. I’m still figuring out the specifics so she doesn’t have a name yet. Sorry.

As mentioned, Tab has a sheepdog daemon named Marisa who enjoys keeping him and everybody else in check. Have you met a sheepdog? They will literally herd you. It doesn’t matter if you are not a lamb or a sheep. They will nip at your heels until you go where they want to go. That’s Marisa. She’ll nip at Tab’s heels, she’ll nip at everybody else’s heels. If you are going somewhere she does not want you to go she will make sure you know her displeasure. 

It is also super funny when she looks Tab in the eye and goes “Down, boy.” It never fails to make Tab go red and make everybody else laugh. 

Harry’s daemon-- and don’t get mad at me-- but Harry’s daemon is a Scottish Terrier named Saoirse. He carries her around strapped to his chest during jumps. It’s fucking cute. Don’t say that to their faces though because they will lose all respect for you. It’s a daemon suited more to a teacher than it is to a soldier, that’s for sure.

Bill’s daemon is a pit-bull named Darla. Scary looking one, too, with a very bawdy sense of humor. She will growl at you and pretend to bite and you will be very scared but she only does it as a joke. She’s honestly really cool. When Bill and Babe are walking around together, Abby likes to perch on top of Darla’s head. It’s adorable. Sometimes, when Abby gets too much, Darla carries her around in her mouth. It’s still cute. But only to them, everybody else finds it vaguely horrifying.

I know there’s this taboo of humans not touching other humans’ daemons but it’s kinda difficult in such close-quarters like theirs. It is also heavily implied in the original text of Philip Pullman, that the no-touching thing is a cultural thing. Like, I think in religions that deal a lot in repression like Catholicism or Protestantism, the touching of another’s daemon is a no-no and is only reserved for the most intimate of relations (i.e. marriage). But I feel like religions such as Judaism, Wiccan, Paganism, or even some branches of Folk-Catholicism encourage touch/celebrate that connection between two humans. Neither of these two beliefs are wrong, of course. It’s just a cultural thing and they carry with them both pros and cons.

I bet Lieb grew up very used to his daemon being touched by his mother and father or older siblings. It’s not taboo to him, though he recognizes that it’s taboo to others. He doesn’t get it though, and is constantly rolling his eyes every time somebody gasps when they accidentally touch someone’s daemon.

A lot of the boys just kinda ignore the touching daemons thing until they get used to it.

I’m not sure what Lieb’s daemon is or what her name is, too. I know she’s a social kind of daemon-- not solitary like a big cat or a reptile (like snakes). I thought maybe a wolf, but a wolf daemon is too... large and there are a lot of connotations attached to it. I think Lieb’s daemon is something medium-sized and unassuming. Not a dog. Not a domestic cat either. A part of me thinks flightless bird, but no. Not that either. Give me time. I’ll figure her out. As of now, I’m thinking either a marsupial or a canidae/fox but not quite. She’s a mammal, that much I know. Just don’t know what kind.

Grant’s daemon is a male domestic cat named Saladin. He’s either an Abyssinian or a Bengal. Either way, he’s really cool. Like super cool. They’re both super duper cool.

And... that’s kinda it. That’s all I have for now. I’m really sorry it got so long, anon. I get really excited when talking about daemons. It’s character study but with animals! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to ramble. This is where I leave you.

chimereons have paws and fur and turtle faces and shiba tails chimereons and jackson's chameleons look fucking nothing alike. i'd rather someone call a furwashed "chameleon" just an offbrand. i dont give a shit abt offbrands, it's when you insult chameleons by acting like they're comparable to some tusk-having dog with horns that i have a problem.
