So you seem to know a lot about the animal kingdom! Do you have a specific stage of early development of ehales that you particularly like? If so why do you like it?

Remingtonocetids! They look so silly, it was the cool awkward phase of whale evolution where they looked like a mix between otters and crocodiles!

Ik you're mostly a Sinclair poster (a very good one at that) but do you have any animal associations for Dante? Or any of the other sinners for that matter

YES YES ACTUALLY!!! SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS ASK...

I have a list of animal associations for project moon characters in general... I'm still working on it but I eventually want to get to background characters too like the optional ruina receptions etc. But currently these are my thoughts for limbus...

Dante: Merulanella blister/tricolor isopod (a perfect match if you ask me... very expensive collectionist morph too). This might change once we know more about them though!

For Verg and Charon I still have to think some up... But Charon is giving mustelid I must say

Yi Sang: Hooded crow + cicada

Dongbaek: Caramel crow!! (This would be a regular American crow, caramel is a mutation that's still being researched which gives them a creamy brown coloration)

Samjo: Great auk (extinct diver bird/penguin) + Royal tern + otter

Dongrang: African forest buffalo + blue roan shorthorn + Oxpecker + cattle egret

Faust: Rock ptarmigan + wooly aphid (still want to look for more...)

Don Quixote: Quagga + Bearded vulture + Monitor lizard

Ryoshu: Horned owl + Dragontail butterfly + Moth (still need to look into species) + ratsnake/black mamba (reference to Hell Screen)

Meursault: Honestly very hard choice... Mostly for personality reasons, I've been thinking of a Nurse shark + MAYBE badger (noctural + def. want an omnivore in there) + Clam or something

Hong Lu: Mantis shrimp + lemur + Sinosauropteryx (chinese compsognathid with conserved pigments of a ringed tail!)

Heathcliff: Aardwolf + Bronze-tailed peacock-pheasant (want to look for more too...)

Ishmael: Orca (only predator of whales) + kutchicetus (cetacean transitional fossil) + lobster

Ahab: Sperm whale + Narwhal + polar bear

Queequeg: Leopard seal

Rodya: Manul + Cozumel raccoon

Sonya: Leucistic amur leopard + Mediterranean fruit fly

Sinclair (more details...): Eurasian sparrowhawk + indeterminate canine traits. I imagine him as a bilateral gynandromorph (half male/female mutation), inspired by the real recorded specimens of lazuli buntings and canaries.

Demian: Malayan blue coral snake + Boelen's python + Luzon bleeding-heart dove. Pondering on lamb motif + maybe some traces of corvid

Kromer: Mountain lion + Hercules beetle grub + red headed centipede + some mantid perhaps (looking into it)

Outis: Przewalski's horse, or maybe a Mustang (debating, I'm not as informed about equines !) + Harris Hawk + Black headed python

Gregor: Painted trilobite cockroach (infestation) + Ensign wasp (main/original body) + House centipede

SPEAR TOOTH

Water/Dark -- The Paradox Pokémon

This Pokémon resembles a sea monster of legend, said to eat ships. An old book describes it as Spear Tooth.

--

Tried my hand at designing a Paradox Pokemon! I'm fascinated by ancient animals and whales were the perfect thing to create a Paradox pokemon based on. This one is based heavily on Dorudon, hence the name. It'd be the only Scarlet pokemon smaller than its modern form, but whales have literally only gotten bigger so it works. I was going to base this on Kutchicetus but it was much harder to make it read as a Wailord relative, and I struggled even here.

Week 1 (October 22nd)

Perception: Hindsight

I have been through many, many "iterations" with my alterhuman identity. Specifically my nonhuman identities. My heartedtypes have remained constant. And on the other hand, I have been through 26 wrong kintypes since my awakening in 2016. I started by questioning cat, dragon, alien animal, and red fox before introducing myself to the community as a swift fox. I have "been" a red-tailed hawk, a binturong, a shark, an ancestral whale, a beetle, and a vulture, to name a few.

In hindsight, all of the things I have wrongly confirmed have been pointing toward the right equation for a long time.

For a while during my first year in the community, I was a swift fox, a red-tailed hawk, and a binturong. The red-tailed hawk, obviously, was me finding an easier, more recognizable answer for osprey shifts. Foxes remind me so strongly of musteloids that in fact they remain a paratype of mine; raccoon, red panda, ringtail, American badger, pine marten, all could be easily mixed up with a desert fox. And binturongs: basically a feliforme red panda.

When I returned to the community in 2019, I went through a heavy questioning phase and confirmed-deconfirmed in quick succession Yaguarasaurus columbianus, Kutchicetus minimus, and bluntnose sixgill shark. I questioned Komodo dragon and leopard seal. A little later (2022), I had to introspect deeply on whether I was a mosasaur after watching Prehistoric Planet. I now recognize that while it is not a theriotype, Mosasaurus lemonnieri is a part of my experiences, from shifts to behaviors, urges and instincts to self-image. I somehow still experience "being" a mosasaur without being one. My past confirmations make sense in that light.

Kutchicetus (or some other Remingtonocetid) hand sculpted in clay, and significantly smaller than it would be in life.  Also missing that abundance of teeth, unfortuately
