Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 4: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should offer the Well Creature some bread and soup ….
"Completely unsure how to even begin to interact with the strange creature from the well, The Adventurer recalls reading in a book once that 'food is a universal language', or uh.. something like that.. thus, some hearty soup and bread would surely bridge any communication barriers... probably. He serves the little cannister of broth cold, straight from his bag just dumped into a wooden bowl, mostly because he's far too nervous to try and start a fire with someone watching.. hopefully they won't mind the food not being warmed..
After gently placing a single bread roll next to the soup, he steps back, gesturing towards the meal with an uncertain smile. The creature pauses, sniffs around, then promptly disappears back into the darkness. Just as The Adventurer begins to sulk over his apparent rejection, something stirs behind him... With a rush of creaking and plopping noises, the creature resurfaces, revealing it's massive serpent-like body as it hoists itself over the crumbled stone of the well's edge with it's many arms. It cracks open it's mighty jaw just far enough for a tiny blue tongue to slither out, then politely slurps at the soup, delicate enough not to spill any.
Stumbling backwards in shock, The Adventurer simply sits there staring the entire time whilst the creature happily (and rather quickly) enjoys their meal... Seemingly appreciative of his kind offerings, another strange slinking arm creeps up from the depths of the well, daintily opening a velvet sack with it's claws and laying out a small assortment of items onto the grass. Still a bit shaken, but also never one to turn down a free gift, The Adventurer senses that the creature intends for him to take any single item of his choosing... but, which one?"

Ford pines for headcanons?
YES FUCKCING YES GIRL!!!!!!!! LETS A GO !
A (Realisitic): lovessssss doodling on paper. has an affinity for eyes (;]), swirlies, scribbles, and creatures. whatever he can get his damned hands on he will doodle on it and he will do it happily. my boy's an artist ❤️❤️
B (Not Realistic But Funny): honestly in canon ford's probably into music too much but i can see him being an period music fan. abba, queen (teehee), freetwood mac, david bowie, etc. that's just his VIBE to me, not in the crowley way but in his own strong inks and cigarette smoke way. i associate thoss things with him as well as anythinf existing before 1982 with him alot if u didnt know. i still see something and go "ford missed this 😔" or "ford didn't miss this! 😁" in a sad or happy tone at least once a day /srs. oh i love this guy
C (Heart-Crushing): this kinda collides with D but im keeping it in that category. soul crushing? ford never knowing what to hope for in regards to stan on the other side. whenever he has time to think about it, he isnt sure whether to imagine him in his house or dead in a ditch, and the mystyer honestly scares him more than he'd like to admit. ford kinda treats it like schrodinger's cat in a way--as long as he never confirms, it could really be anything, and that absolves him of any potential guilt. so. (also: that he celebrates holidays out in the multiverse too, when possible. makeshift menoras, pastries in substitute of bday cakes, lighting sticks during new years. just for the sense of grounding. ALSO alsohe's spent at least 3 birthdays in a prison cell or very hurt. so. yeah)
D (Unrealistic but FUCK CANON): has always stuggled with addiction, especially with antidepressants or alcohol. thus sort of snowballs into a whole "if this makes me feel good i cannot have for more than needed" but still ends upgrappling with it anyway. he suffered MAJORRRR withdrawlel when portal stranded and since then swore off it bc he drank the most under bill's influence. it's very important to me and i need more fics about it sooooooo bad, bc while i HAVE written my own, i think someone else is needed to do it justice. now that im remembering this i HAVE read some with this hc and they were beautiful and i need to reread them again and i need to REWATCH THIS DAMN SHOW SO I CAN READ AND WRITE SOME FIC AGAI .... also there IS some evidence as extracted by @/callipraxia (need to find that meta again) but i DOUBT that would ever be canon bc of the kid show rating. (watch the book of bill canonize this seven fucking months from now. i swear to god..../j)
TY FOR THE ASK!!!!!! 💖💖

Those who follow the Pern stuff on this blog will know I've thrown math at the dragons and whers and what we're told about them to work out height:length ratios and estimated average sizes. For the dragons this was one thing, and I eventually settled on a 1:2.4 ratio with average shoulder heights ranging from 9.3 ft greens to 16.6 ft golds. The whers also had their easy spot, as we get solid numbers for them and can presume from them that their height:length ratio is about 1:3.25.
The problem there comes with the whers' actual size range, as our best information outside of the ratio is Todd's stating that gold whers are of similar size to brown dragons. This has to be across one measurement, since the ratios don't line up. So we either have golds being as tall as browns- giving us an average height range from 7.4 ft greens to 13.5 ft golds and length range of 24.1 ft greens to 43.8 ft golds- or as long as them- giving us a height range from 5.5 ft greens to 10 ft golds and length range of 17.9 ft greens to 32.5 ft golds.
The latter is accurate to my estimates for 3rd Pass whers, but we can't know whether that estimate itself is accurate. We can be reasonably certain they grew much like the dragons overtime, as presumably they also started with browns and rankers and the first wher clutches are described by the DLG (the source I've got, if this is contradicted elsewhere show me) as being small horse-sized, definitely far smaller than either option gives us.
With all this in mind-

some of you may have noticed me lurking around, replying to random things and liking all of your posts —
and i'd just like to say: most of the time, that's about all you're gonna get from me. i regret to inform you that, if you came here looking for slews of ic posts every day, you are in the wrong place. i work. tuesday through saturday. 8am to whenever i finish my board. could be 4pm ( like it's supposed to be ), could be 11pm, could be 1pm ( like it was today ). which, regardless, is a big chunk of my day. i typically don't have time to work on things here during the week ( because it takes me FOREVER to finish anything, sorry ). but i also try not to flood the dash with ooc things either, which just makes it seem like i am fairly absent, fairly often.
but FEAR NOT ! i am almost always lurking. and i also have my discord available to mutuals for anyone wanting to talk shop or plot or even just hang out.
but this hiatus of sorts is also why i tend to send out a lot of asks.
my intention isn't to "always put the work on you" as my rp partner, but to give you something to work on during my weekly mini-hiatus, while you're waiting for the weekend when i do work on our threads. but also, me personally, i think it's always a little treat to receive something in my ask box. and i'd think most of you would feel the same. i like giving out treats, like a little old granny —

Random, but I deeply wish you could heart react to comments on tumblr!?!?!?!
Like sometimes I wanna let someone know I’ve seen the comment, I love the comment, but I don’t wanna spam the comment section with follow up comments?? I am such a love-react girlie to messages when the conversation has ended but I want them to know I saw it and adore it.
