So these are regular Mongolian gerbils--the kind you'll find in any pet store in the USA/Europe
Tumblr media
And THESE are Persian jirds! Same genus, but different species
Tumblr media
The Persians are about twice as big, have MUCH longer tails in proportion to their bodies, and overall are a lot... Longer? They have pointier faces and bigger ears.
Tumblr media
One of them got loose and spent some time frolicking gleefully around the critter room. I'm a little blown away how confident and curious they are, especially immediately after transport. I wanted to get them both right into their enclosure, but one ran up my hand to sit on my shoulder and the other scampered off and started looking for things to climb on. Eventually he jumped into a box and trapped himself. They're both captured and settling in now.

Oh, wow. The last survivor of the Nome, Alaska diphtheria outbreak that was treated by the famous dogsled relay of antitoxin that had its final, marathon leg done by musher Gunnar Kaasen and his team led by lead dog Balto just turned 100.

People who pronounce gif like jif because "every word starting with G and I has a j sound"...
Go off jirl stop being so jiddyabout being right, do you want us to jive you a jift or some other jizmo as a reward in this jig economy? Also while your jiggling to yourself on your jilded tower, why don't you tell me what a fish breathes out of. Better jird your fucking loins against my jigaton jirth while I drink some fucking jin rather than deal with your jimmicks you absolute jit.

got any lineart tips
also, what r the jailbirds favorite things to do in their free time
will be real i don’t think much when I draw lines, except maybe focusing on line weight because I like that but its not everyone’s thing
don’t force yourself to do clean lines if you don’t like it or don’t have fun doing it, it’s not at all necessary (I’m just one of those people who likes doing meticulously clean lines and thinks it’s fun)
yeah just, There Is No Right Or Wrong Way To Draw Lines Do What You Want For ever
onto the Jirds. Severe brain rot of them I love them so much
i like the idea of like. they take eachother exploring. gamaliel knows the layout of hell like the back of their hand and gabriel shows them the many gardens of heaven they were never allowed to step foot in.
gamaliel tells him not to worry if they start to speak to the walls sometimes - that’s normal, they have everything under control (for once). Hell seems tamer when they’re around.
they like gluttony the best - they feel at home with all the fleshy walls and eyes staring everywhere. They warn him about the periodic acid rain
in the gardens of heaven gabriel describes all the flora and fauna there - no input from gamaliel, they don’t have anything to say anyways and just love the sound of his voice.
also like. The sparkly parts of their horns and armor are like glittery stone. just thinking of like. in the garden it’s sunny and Gabriel just admires how they look in the sunlight. I’m ok I’m normal
And then they kiss!!! Because !

Unboxing the jirds!
They weren't transported in this carrier. This was just what I stuck them in to carry them into my house from the transport, since they needed to keep the carrier they came in.
The mongolian gerbils were NOT happy about having to wait
