#look at that cute little alien bean

Note
taxonomic nightmare but may i request a chelicerate order ranking
sticking with extant ones, here.
Amblypygi - S
my little tree flatcrab spindle angels. maybe other arachnids have chemically interesting venom or are more colorful (amblys can do gray!! and sometimes brown) but amblys are really just suited to my tastes. long-living with both sexes having indeterminate growth, spiny, fast, nonvenomous, arboreal/scansorial, curiously social, and they just look great.
Alfonso says hi.
Thelyphonida & Schizomida — Uropygi? - A
great bugs for most of the reasons shared with above, being fairly closely related to amblys. vinegaroons are the tanks of the tetrapulmonates, built to burrow and clobber things with their freakishly muscular pedipalps. schizomids are very funny guys that deserve better. each group took “ain’t broke, don’t fix” even more literally than the amblypygi and truly all look identical; if you hid arachnologists’ microscopes there’d be a crisis.
Solifugae - A
fast, furious, fluffy: I love these little (and not-so-little) freaks. again, doing it all without venom, their crazy snipping chelicerae are some of my favorite insect anatomy. plus, they’re bizarrely diverse, from the mouth-on-legs of the rhagodids to the classic camel spider look and then there’s the hexisopodids that look like angry fur pillows.
Opiliones - A
there’s so much more to these than the ball-on-sticks (though that’s iconic!) that I used to think they all were. ornate armor and parental care (paternal, in some cases!) from the Laniatores, spindly guys abound, alien drone robots from Dyspnoi (Trogulus), and then whatever pudgy little Siro has got going on. possibly the most creative use of pedipalps, with funky lobster claws, bear trap spike-hell, “spoons?” (cosmetids), pinchy bits, glue traps, and spare leg all represented.
Araneae - B
sure. spiders are cool. everyone knows what a spider is. points for diversity, points for bizarre forms, yeah yeah. can we go home now? also, webs are cheating.
if it was only Liphistius, they’d get an A.
Ricinulei - ????
mysterious. elusive. built like a baked bean. what are they even doing? we don’t know. pay researchers more
Pseudoscorpiones - B
great bunch of little guys! phoresy is fun, and so are venomous crabby pedipalps. they have the best element of surprise—never know where you’ll find them next. in a book? under bark? in a beetle? lots of points for weird social lifestyles in certain species and associated chemical mimicry, plus all the wacky insular species and host specialists.
Scorpiones - C
they’re like pseudoscorpions, only less so. cute in a very dopey way. learning that a scorpion’s anus is at the tip of the tail ruined them for me forever.
Palpigradi - D
adorable but they’re not really doing anything let’s be honest. and I love them for that. you do you little eyeless guys I’m sure I’ll find you someday in the dirt
Acari/Parasitiformes - S
aha! I bet you thought I’d rank them poorly, but no, mites are the best arachnids (though not my personal favorites). if you disagree with that, it probably means you don’t know enough about them. mites can do anything and you are a fool if you doubt them.
yes, this includes ticks. ticks are cool and if you have an issue with this—sounds like a vertebrate problem
~~~~~under the water~~~~~
Xiphosura - C
overrated. great, and I love them, but just slightly overrated. stop stealing their blood pls
class Pycgnogonida - ????
Huh? What?
What? I don’t know. Maybe.

I think aliens would find it wild that we, as predators, would find the traits of other predators cute, and prey scary. Even with specific instances, a predators teeth may be cute and a prey animals teeth scary
Cats toe beans are a great example, they are great for stealth to sneak up on prey, practically a sign on a predator. Even sharp teeth, I’ve seen people be like, ‘look at those bitey little teefies on these little guys’ while talking about lions and panthers.
On the other hand,,,hippos are scary, kind of due to their size but also their aggression and teeth, they are one of the deadliest land animals for a reason
Rabbits are seen generally as cute, as seen by how popular they are as a pet, but try and tell me they aren’t at least a little scary. Again specifically their teeth
This isn’t always the case but even these few things would probably be weird to other sentient alien species, even if we are the top of the food chain
(Yes, I am using a hippo as an example of prey when hippos are technically neither prey nor predator but shush)

stay in the middle — 16. coolbeans
SYNOPSIS: Huening Kai would do anything for his best friend Taehyun, and this one small favor is no exception. It appears that Kai’s fellow campus journalist Y/N has caught his attention, and Taehyun needs help connecting to them. Befriending someone outside of his small social circle wasn’t something Kai did often, but he comes to find that it’s easy to get close to Y/N—maybe even getting a little too close.
word count: 1.6k
Tumblr media
“This place isn’t as suffocating as I remembered.” Y/N couldn’t help but hum, gazing around the small cafe. Now that they weren’t overwhelmed with worries about social interaction anymore, they could properly appreciate the array of wooden decor lined up at the top of the cream walls. Plates, large utensils, framed coffee beans, the items were appropriate but quaint in its display. Y/N was quite charmed.
Sitting opposite to them, Kai made the practical decision of scanning the menu for their dinner selection. “My best friend and I often meet here in the early morning to charge up before our classes.“
“The same best friend that helped you with your report outline for earlier?”
Kai gave a nod.
“With the amount of times you’ve mentioned him, I’m wondering why I haven’t met him yet.” Y/N laughed.
A penguin pout graced his lips. “Ah, he’s especially busy these days because he’s in the volleyball team, training and all. But I promise you I’ll introduce him to you eventually.” He crossed his arms over the table. “Likewise, I want to meet your friends too.”
Y/N scrunched their face. “I fear they’re not as cute and into Sanrio as I am.”
“Not even Soobin?”
“He’s only cute. That’s the only thing he’s got going on for him.”
Kai giggled—or rather cackled with incredibly more power than necessary, earning him a few stares from the neighboring customers. After realizing his volume, he immediately turned to bow in silent apology to each table, looking like a docking ostrich in the process.
“We should probably take our orders now.” Y/N said, trying to hold back a laugh.
“Good idea.”
Y/N requested for a plate of carbonara while Kai went for a traditional caesar salad, along with two glasses of blue lemonade.
Once the waiter had left, the two were met with comfortable silence. They had just finished observing the swim team for almost three hours, it had already been a long day for them.
Although they have definitely grown much closer since the last time they were here (the longest and most awkward 30 minutes of their life, as Y/N remembered it), they found that they didn’t need to be constantly speaking to enjoy each other’s presence. Both naturally leaned more toward being the quiet type anyway.
The same panicky boy that made a mess out of Y/N’s papers almost a month ago wore a much calmer countenance today, his ebony curls more neatly kept and eyes crinkling into creases. He was fiddling with the corners of the paper placemat beneath him, creating a pile of paper crumbs that had been softly ripped apart.
“You’re not gonna have a placemat by the time the food arrives if you keep at it.” Y/N teased, pointing at the pile.
The tips of Kai’s ears colored. “Oops, habit of mine. My hands get restless so I often fidget without thinking.”
“No need to justify yourself, I promise. How about you help me with something instead to keep you busy.” Y/N then turned to their backpack to fish out a pastel pink notebook. They slid it in front of Kai to reveal the numerous Hello Kitty stickers decorating the front cover.
“That’s a lot of glitter on those stickers.” Kai’s own eyes sparkled at the sight.
“I always say it’s never enough.” Y/N smirked before flipping to the last filled page. Scribbled all over it was a mind map of words like moon, aliens, and galaxy, drawn arrows pointing them toward each other. “See, before I got in The Hybe Times, I used to submit self-written stories to the local student magazine. I’ve been thinking of submitting another one for the first time in so long, but I can’t quite stick to one idea.”
Kai took in Y/N’s explanation while examining the seemingly nonsensical writings on the page. “I’m gathering that your story is space themed?”
“Yep. The upcoming issue will commemorate the anniversary of the moon landing, so outer space was given as the prompt.” Y/N leaned backward, heaving a sigh. “But space is such a broad topic—kind of literally, too. So much could be talked about, how do I condense it into one short story?”
Kai’s eyes remained focus on trying to follow the words on the page, eyebrows scrunched thoughtfully. “Hm, do you know what all these arrows remind me of? Constellations. Metaphorical lines that connect different bodies together to form a bigger picture.”
Y/N blinked at his interpretation, caught pleasantly surprised. “That’s… I like that.”
“You do?”
“Constellations as lines that connect and create a bigger picture…” Y/N flipped the notebook back to face them and started furiously inking down the sparks in their mind. From their peripheral, they saw Kai watch in awe, his mouth slightly agape. Y/N only let a select few people witness their “light bulb” moments like these so they were admittedly a bit flustered under his gaze.
They finally looked up, corners of their lips stretched wide. “I don’t know how you did it but you just helped me plot out a full beginning, middle, and end of a short story.”
“That fast?” Kai gawked. “I’m impressed.”
“The mind works in mysterious ways.” Y/N reached forward to tap Kai’s temple with their finger. “Yours so much more so than mine.”
At that moment, Y/N’s eyes caught something from behind Kai’s head. Two figures had entered the packed cafe—two familiar figures.
Y/N quickly docked their head and tucked their notebook beneath the table, startling Kai. “I-is something wrong?”
Y/N’s voice lowered. “Don’t turn around, but Jungwon and Jay just entered the cafe.” They buried their face in their hands. Of course they’d come here; Jungwon was their field partner, and the swimming compound was right beside this cafe. It’d make sense for him to seek dinner here after fieldwork too.
Kai’s mouth rounded into a silent “oh”, nodding slowly and trying his best to remain calm for Y/N’s sake.
Unfortunately for Y/N, they made the mistake of peaking up again, accidentally making eye contact with Jungwon. At the sight of his co-journalists, he gave a big enthusiastic wave before dragging his friend along to their table.
“Kai hyung, Y/N! Thank goodness you’re here.” Jungwon greeted, grin wide. “The waiter just told us there were no more seats available. Do you mind if we sat with you instead?”
Jay stood rigid beside Jungwon, arms linked with each other. He gave the two a polite smile in greeting. Other than that, his face was practically unreadable—Y/N was hoping they’d figure out how he feels about getting a minor role alongside them, but maybe some answers are not this easily attainable. Still, his unreadability didn’t dismiss the way his hair was parted to the side so neatly, nor the way his slick leather jacket hugged his figure handsomely. Wait, how does an article of clothing hug one’s figure handsomely?
Y/N felt Kai’s expectant eyes on them, waiting for their call. (They were hoping his stare was not because they were noticeably blushing furiously at the moment.)
“Uh… sure! Come take a seat.”
Jungwon clapped gratefully. Right before any movements occurred, Kai swiftly switched to take the space beside Y/N, allowing the newly arrived duo to sit opposite them. It was as if he had read their mind begging for him to block any chance of Jay sitting close to Y/N.
“What did you guys order?” Jay asked diplomatically.
“Kai ordered a salad for two. Perhaps you’d like to take his other half?” Y/N promptly replied, to which Kai raised an eyebrow. They weren’t wrong, but Kai had the appetite for two servings; he very well meant to finish the salad on his own.
“I promise I’ll get you a big bowl of ice cream after to compensate. I just don’t want to have to wait for their orders too.” Y/N rapidly said below a whisper, ensuring that the other two didn’t hear them. Kai gave a thumbs up of content.
“Oh, I do love salad. That’d be nice, thank you.”
“Jay can pay for the entire bill, too.” Jungwon smirked, earning him an eye roll from his hyung. “What about me, though?”
“You can share Y/N’s carbonara! Also made for two.” Kai offered quickly. He lowered back down to Y/N to whisper, “I’ll make up for that with another big bowl of ice cream for you too.”
Y/N could feel their heart thumping in their ears out of nervousness.
“I’m more of a spaghetti person myself but I won’t complain since I’m hungry.”
As if on cue, a waiter arrived with their orders. The group then dined without chatter, busy enjoying their meals (and trying to stay calm in front of their crush, in Y/N’s case).
“Did you receive Yunjin’s message in the group chat?” Jay finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
Y/N nearly choked on their bacon. “O-oh. I haven’t been on my phone for the past hour. What did she say?”
“She already wrote specifications about our characters on the script. We’ll be rehearsing alongside the main cast tomorrow.”
“That’s great! I’ll read through the script later.”
“You guys have the same roles?” Jungwon asked.
“Uh, you could say that.” Jay simply replied, taking a sip from the service water. How on earth did he manage to make that something to swoon over.
Y/N had to slap Kai’s lap to bring them out of their trance, much to his poor surprise. “How are you enjoying the salad, Jay?” Kai spoke out of panic.
“It’s all right. My dad knows how to prepare an even better one though.” It should have sounded like a brag, but it came out more lighthearted. “I can pack extra to rehearsals one day for you to try, Y/N.”
“Coolbeans! I’d be honored to try.”
Jay lips pressed into a smile. “Hang on, I need to use the restroom.” He excused himself from the table, and the moment he was completely out of sight, Kai stifled a laugh.
“Coolbeans?”
Y/N plopped their head on Kai’s shoulder, groaning in embarrassment. “Why does time always seem to slow down whenever I’m in this cafe.”
A cough broke, causing Kai to turn to the scrutinizing gaze of Jungwon. “There’s something going on that I don’t know about.”
Y/N continued to grumble incoherently, forehead still stuck to Kai’s shoulder.
“Do you not care to tell me?”
“None of your business, Yang!”

hi new anon for your enjoyment! (i don’t remember if i’ve sent asks sh)
Some good ideas for learning to draw newborns!
Get screenshots from The Kitten Lady’s videos or from her instagram to do little kitten arts of. Warning for babies at varying levels of sick, though; she’s a miracle worker and often saves babies who have no chances without her intervention.
Look for photos of newborns and do base sketches based on/over top of them, then lineart without the image. Do this until you like how it turns out! Keep in mind no one tends to take photos of cat babies until they’re maybe a day or so, or until they’re dry if they really wanna publicize it. But not much growth happens between 0-2 days so that still helps.
Just draw a bean with tiny stick legs and smushed cat face. no idea if this is even a good/well-explained idea, thats just how i’ve seen people draw them before
as a note, it’s hard to come by newborns cuddling with mama outside of videos because a lot of people like to have mama out of the photo or just don’t have mama for whatever reason. Something something cute babies > cute mamas with babies, idk the reason. Also kittens like to nurse a lot from my knowledge so that could contribute.
- 🫁 anon
(if 🫁 anon doesn’t work i will be 🪸 anon)
thank you for the tip! a couple of people have said i should watch cat birthing videos (which is fine bc im not squeamish at all) but you're the first who actually gave me a specific channel, I'll probably check out The Kitten Lady's videos at some point :)
i have no problems with drawing the babies with the parents, really (except it means More Drawing, which is also fine depending on how im feeling that day), its more just trying to get a good picture of what the kitten looks like without them being all smushed up behind another kitten or without being held in a human hand (which is a very common trend for newborn kitten pics, for decent reason, gotta keep the little guys warm and comfy). i do just need to put in the effort to learn to draw kittens but for some reason i cant get their anatomy down lmao. at least for older kittens its just Cat but Smushed Up but newborns are just like little aliens to me. peanut shaped idiots (affectionate)

TIK TOK SENTENCE STARTERS, PT. 3 ;
50 starters. CW: alcohol, cussing, sexual themes. Some starters are just random quotes from Tik Tok creators, some starters are from Tik Tok trends that have popped up over the past year or so. The original sources of these trends are from various memes, shows, songs, and other popular media. Feel free to change words and pronouns as needed! [PARTS: 1 - 2]
"Guess who’s terrible at processing emotions? This guy!”
“If I have to gain any more character development in 2022, I think it will be the start of my villain origin story.”
“Did you get enough love, my little dove? Why do you cry?”
“What happened to us? We used to be best friends.”
“I’m so tired of shonen. Please release yourself from the shackles of shonen anime.”
“Honestly? We’re about to get colonized by aliens, so what can we do? Count your days. Count your fucking days, human beings, ‘cause as soon as the aliens drop, I’m gonna be an alien’s whore. I have no loyalty to the human race.”

“Like, I’ve never wanted to be thrown across a room before, but... I feel things right now that I’ve never felt before.”
“Beans on toast does not look attractive. You know what? Let’s look up some beans on toast.”
“I have alcohol. I don’t have feelings.”
“Y’all wanna be edgy so bad.”
“All my life, I had to fight with no ass.”
“The Lord knows our hearts, okay? If the Lord didn’t want me to play, he shouldn’t have made me foolish. The Lord knew what they were doing when they made me. Shit! How the Lord gonna make me a fool and then don’t want me to play around? Like, make it make sense. It don’t.”
“This is great. Just the three of us. You, me, and this brick wall you built.”
“Are you falling in love? I have a feeling you are.”
“I know something you don’t. I know something you will never know.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve talked, but I missed you, you idiot.”

“Anything that happens to you past midnight is between you and your god.”
“You know it’s not the same as it was.”

“Okay, but that’s not the point.”
“Open up the door. I only wanna play a little more.”
“Don’t you ever be wasting your good energy.”
“What’s it like being ugly and sad?”
“And nothing can go wrong... OH, NOO! IT ALL WENT WRONG!”
“My money don’t jingle, jingle. It folds.”
“Stop calling, stop calling, I don’t wanna think anymore.”
“Is your middle name cheddar cheese? ‘Cause you’re looking extra sharp today.”
“The CDC just called and they told me your smile is super contagious.”
“That’s suspicious... That’s weird.”
“I do not have time for this! I don’t have time for you!”

NSR + OCs Doodle Dumps
Some bad sketches from before *that* happened.
Notes under the cut.
Puella Mayday: Mayday dressed as Madoka Kaname + Kliffby. Just a silly doodle. Don't expect anymore characters in the crossover.
UPA B2J: The pose is based on some official keyart (I think it's the boxart). I wanted to finish this, but I'm just not feeling it anymore.
E.G. Sketch: I couldn't remember what he looked like, so I tried to draw him again. It looks off.
Young Kliff: Another idea for a younger Kliff. It's a lot different from my earliest interpretations of that prompt. This version is based more on some early concept sketches of him. I imagine young!Kliff as someone who was drawn to rock because he found belonging in the subculture, so he took it pretty badly when his "home" essentially crumbled around him the same way his "real" home did.
System & White: System is a "character" in Desynchronized that I've alluded to several times (especially in the Headcanons series), but has never made a proper appearance. In short, System (aka Orca) is the literal system which controls the 1010s thought process without being filtered through their individual personality cores. As such, it doesn't technically have its own body and exists in every 1010. If I ever needed to show it visually, it would manifest as a black haired version of whichever 1010 it was currently possessing.
DDMC Redraw: I started a sketch of a redraw of my Doki Doki Mermaid Club title screen. I lost interest in it at some point. I think the composition could be a lot more interesting.
Tumblr media
[The original piece]
Kun3h0's Eye: Originally for that poll about Kun3h0's eye, I was just going to use a base and draw all the different answers before I eventually decided to do a unique drawing for each. Some unused sketches included a tentacle, a glitch, an invert colored eye, and an alternate design for the bunny eye patch.
Kun3h0's Things: I was trying to fill the page with various things that are important to Kun3h0, but I never quite finished it. There are more things I could have added, but these are the things I drew:
The GAB Nano: Kun3h0's transformation trinket, storage device, and remote to contact GAB. It's capable of producing various things including power-ups, snacks, toys, etc., granted that Kun3h0 has enough "credits" to purchase them.
Various Keychains (GAB, UFO, Octopus, Strawberry, and Bead Chain): Rather than save her credits for more useful things, Kun3h0 has a habit of cashing in her credits for various trinkets and keychains. The sailor octopus is of course a reference to E.G. while the rest are either in-universe references or based on real keychains I own.
Alien Mascot: The mascot of Kun3h0's favorite discontinued soda brand: Cosmic Caffeinators
White Rabbit Batteries: Kun3h0's preferred brand of batteries. They're modeled after white rabbit milk candies, a childhood favorite of mine.
Cosmic Caffeinators (Raspberry flavor): A soda so unfit for human consumption that it works better as coolant fluid. This is the pink stuff that colors Kun3h0's ears. Despite supposedly being discontinued, this stuff is available in abundance at the arcade Kun3h0 works for.
Detective Floats: Revisiting an old concept for a soda themed OC. He used to run a soda fountain, but I've tried reimagining him as a private investigator from a Strawberry Shortcake-esque world who teams up with a demon slaying bounty hunter from a Doom-esque world. He's cute, but I'm not totally sold on this design. I've got too many string-bean characters (and he is in fact my proto-string bean, but he's since been displaced by the likes of Kun3h0 and The Prince Formerly Known as Frog), so I may experiment with his body type a little more down the line.

kin heidrich x reader
you got a werewolf/werekin girlfriend because... i mean hell yeah
Kin sat at her music studio, messing with her launchpad, swaying from side to side, humming to herself, her tail wagging. She was a musician and often got lost in working on stuff she does. Watching her wolf tail wag a mile a minute was always cute. She started bouncing, almost dancing while sitting still in her stool, little laughs coming out as she did her thing.
You sat on the couch, both watching tv and your werewolf/werekin (aka she has wolf ears, a tail, and paws instead of feet, black fur from the knee down and red paw beans btw) get excited as hell working on her newest song. It was adorable watching her get so damn happy over her music. Her poor chair, though, the damn thing was creaking, and it is a miracle it hasn't broken yet. You GOTTA get her a new one. This woman is hard on chairs.
"HEY I finished my new song!" She whipped around with a gleeful expression, still swaying back and forth. She did own her own club where she performed as well. Her band name was Wolfskull. She did MANY genres; Pop, heavy metal, alternative, punk, techno, rave shit, etc. She wiggled a bit and spun back around to her launchpad, tail still wagging as she snickered to herself. Alright, this was definitely an especially intense project for her.
"Don'tcha think you should take a break?" You kinda laughed under your breath, but it didn't seem like she heard you, being this intensely into what she was doing. She was humming some lyrics.
"KIN!" you raised your voice a bit to get her attention, and she jumped.
"WHOWHATHEDIDIT?" She spun back around with wide eyes.
"You're working too hard, again." You spoke a bit softly this time and she blinked a bit, looking at you, coming down from whatever WAY too intense focus she had on her song.
"..Buh- Oh. Right." She shook all over.. like a canine, I mean.. she is part canine. And she got some funny little habits that come with being one. "Right, yeah. Uhh.." She squinted. "..Whuh'm supposed to do?"
You rolled your eyes a bit. "Shower, brush your teeth, get ready for bed, dude." She stared at you for a moment with a weird look.. As if she was looking at an alien.
"OH! Yeah I.. Yeah I gotta do that stuff." She got up from her poor damn chair, standing still for a moment before walking to the bathroom to do what she had to. "YEH!"
...Your girlfriend is weird as hell, but also a very happy, eccentric woman, essentially a god damn ray of sunshine as a person. She has her problems with repression, but she's getting better with you by her side.
With a sigh you kept flipping through channels on the television, eventually giving up and just going to your streaming service for horror movies. One thing you both shared (among other stuff) was you both loved horror movies. Watching bad ones was a lot of fun, too.
"WHAT ARE YA WATCHIN'??" She said.. kinda loudly, from the shower.
"FINISH YOUR SHOWER AND COME FIND OUT, damn." You half-shouted back.
"..I forgot to bring some pajamas in here, can you bring me some, please?"
"Mmhm." You got up and got her favorite, thin sleeping pants, and her Jurassic Park sleeping shirt, passing them through the crack in the door.
"...You've seen me without clothes on, why are you passing me stuff through the closed door?" Kin laughed a little bit, getting dressed for bed.
"Why are YOU asking for clothes behind a door?"
"...Yeah okay fair." She came out of the bathroom, shaking her head because of her wet hair. "I smell like..Peppermint. S'the only soap I could find. It's like... a year old."
"S'fine, I like peppermint." You yawned, stretching out and smiling as she climbed into bed next to you.
"Th' hell you watchin." She looked up at the television.
"Re-Animator, the first one."
"OOH! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!" She wiggled a bit against you with a big, sharp toothed smile. You could hear her tail thumping as it wagged under the covers. And you snorted.
"Yeah, I know." You clicked the remote, starting the movie, Kin scooting close, trying to suppress her happy wiggling. You chuckled.
"You're cute." You mumbled.
"H'wah?" She looked up at you.
"Nothin, enjoy the movie. Love you."
"I love you too!" She planted a kiss on your cheek and went back to the movie. "Uh...Sorry about my tail wagging."
"S'fine. I love it."
Kin smiled wide, watching the tv as she cuddled up to you. She makes comments through the movie; But it makes it much more fun. You wind up watching all three Re-Animator movies with her cuddled up to you, excitedly commenting, etc.
Good lord, she really is one of the goodest girls (get it bc she's part canine? so.. good gi..yeah)

Four More Years
(just wanted to post this lil suntan snippet of a new Omori timeskip fic/college AU i'm working on! it is silly and soft and not even a little bit tragic, bc my heart can only take so much. canon-compliant, post-good end, lookin at ~10k words)
Kel bursts onto the scene in typically noisy fashion. “Sunny! Suuunnnnyyyyy! Do you have headphones on again? C’mon, finish up, I’m starving!”
...He’s lucky he’s cute. If he wasn’t, Kel would be very unpopular with Sunny’s classmates. But even art school kids can’t bring themselves to hate Kel. It would be like hating a big friendly dog just because it stepped on your mixing palette and tracked paint all over the floor. The worst he gets is a few exasperated glances, and most of those bounce off his thick skull.
They buy Kel a couple of tacos to tide him over and then mosey over to Sunny’s apartment. Kel’s big idea of the week is to make a bento and deliver it to Hero at work. Apparently Hero’s been too busy with his residency to cook, and Kel thinks he’d appreciate a home-cooked meal.
“Cool,” Sunny says drily. “Where are you gonna find one?”
“Hey!! I can cook!!”
“Sandwiches.”
“Sandwiches are good!!!”
They’re still about a half mile from home when they get ambushed by the most beautiful armchair Sunny’s ever seen. It’s rich black velvet with a gilded frame and it has paws, thick wooden legs carved into clawed, sturdy cat’s paws. Sunny closes his eyes. “Ohhh…”
“You need it, huh?”
“Kel,” he says pitifully, pawing at Kel’s arm. “Kel, can you please tilt it on its back legs. I’ll never ask for anything again.”
“Easy!!”
The bones of the chair must be solid teak. Kel has to throw his weight into it just to get the front paws off the ground. But when Sunny crouches down to get a look, another little moan creaks out of him. Oh, god. They do. They really do have toe beans.
So of course they have to drag the chair the whole way home, because Sunny is 100% certain that if he takes his eyes off it, it will walk away without him. But again, this chair is ungodly heavy. Kel can barely shift it, so Sunny actually has to help, instead of just pretending. He’s not used to doing manual labor, so they stop and rest maybe every twenty feet.
The armchair is big. It’s designed for one person, but it’s definitely big enough for two, if the two people in question are very comfortable with each other. Which they are. They always have been.
But Kel won’t sit down.
“It’s all you, dude!” he insists. “Don’t stress it! I’m barely even tired!”
Sunny’s forehead furrows. “We can both sit, though?”
“Seems a little crowded, haha!”
“I could just sit on you.”
“Aw, you don’t want that. I just came from the Y. I’m all sweaty.”
“...You could sit on me?”
Kel looks genuinely moved. “Aw, Sunny. Buddy. My best friend in the whole wide world. I would crush you like a bug.”
“I’m not fragile,” Sunny mutters. “You’d have to do a lot more to break me.”
And Kel, for no reason that Sunny can think of, turns beet red.
Stuff like that keeps happening. Kel is acting totally normal, and then suddenly he turns weird. At the party last night, Kel moved to sling an arm around him—like he always has, for the past twenty years—and then visibly stopped himself on at least four separate occasions.
“He won’t even sleep over anymore,” Sunny sulks. “Last night he slept on the couch. But Basil’s bed is big enough for all of us. If he wanted more space, my bed was empty.”
“Ohhhh,” Aubrey says. “Okay, yeah. I got it. —Oh, sorry, was that it? Or did you wanna give me a little more context?”
He turns away from his work for just long enough to glare. “Explain.”
“Yeah, it pretty much sounds like he likes you, dude.”
Sunny frowns. “As a—”
“No, not as a fucking friend. Are you an alien? Obviously I meant he’s, you know. Attracted to you, or whatever. ‘As a man.’ Lmao.” She actually says lmao, pronounced like, luh-mao.
Sunny looks down at himself. “...Are you sure?”
“Hey, don’t sell yourself short, kid. You’ve got that whole dark academia thing going. You know, the piercings, and the… sweaters, and all pale and malnourished and shit.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”

five comfort characters, five tags
thanks for including me to be one of the special five tags @kingfisherprince and @yoellglia I'm so honoured omg🙈
ANYWAYS. Five characters only is IMPOSSIBLE. I have tons but..these are what pops up in my mind first.
1. Peter Quill!! Honestly idk if he's number 1. But this are not by rankings cause I'm picky about comfort characters and they're all number 1. I love Peter he's so funny, so charismatic and soooo baby, (and so traumatized wow) The first time I saw him I KNEW he was going to be my favourite Guardian along w Rocket and Groot.
2. Dean Winchester. Hello my traumatized baby, look at him. He's so sweet and cute, despite all that trauma and stuff going on in his life he's still so kind and he tries not to continue the trauma chain and I'm so proud of him. He's my fav SPN character along with Bobby Singer, Crowley, and Castiel <3
3. (omg suddenly there's too much characters in my head) UHHHH. OKAY MO GUAN SHAN!! MOMO FROM 19 DAYS MANHWA. yes. I mean the whole manhwa is my comfort manhwa, I'm always sooo excited for new chapters but momo is my fav lil kitten he's so agressive and cute and baby, always getting into fights and definitely has some sort of freaking PTSD or something but He Tian's there to love him. So it's fine. TianShan couple goals.
4. Charles Xavier. Again, all of this is not ranked and if it was, Charles will be up a little bit. Charles Xavier, fav telepath and a cutie pie. He has mommy issues, and daddy issues ig, and in the comics he probably traumatized his son I mean. Look at his son. But that's besides the point! He's the sweetest, in terms of characters I relate to Erik more, and I'm more of an Erik Lehnsherr mindset cause c'mon. Mutants are superior idc but Erik is more serious than Charles, not my thing nono. So I have to have my sweetheart Charles here. Him and that tree scene is so cute, him when he found out that girl has a husband was even MORE cute. He's the cutest I can't-
5. Sam Wilson. Fav buff guy, smol smol bean 🤏🤏 I want to keep him in my pocket. He's doing great, unlike all the other characters I don't think he is that traumatized despite almost dying in an explosion, got dusted by Thanos, his best friend growing old( like rotting old) and giving him the responsibility of being Captain America and the whole states in his hand, and he definitely had identity crisis for a while. But that's just common marvel trauma. anyways, he's the guy, he's the cutest, him and his lil wizards, aliens and stuff speech was so cute. His whole character is a comfort.
Honorable mention of Iruka, Shinya Hiragi, Gojo, Loki, Shuri, and more I can't think of rn (I just woke up guys)
Tagginggggg hmmmmm. I wish to tag as much as I want but it's 5 and I have to play by the rules so sorry other mutuals, yk I love you all so much. Tags: @thefrootloopman @swaggypsyduck @janesurlife @tam-is-blogging @ponderingrabbit-blog (if u guys liked this post and I didn't tag u, in my mind I did, in another universe I did, IM FEELING GUILTY RN U GUYS ARE SPECIAL TOO OKAY!!! I'll tag u guys in another ask game I PINKY PROMISE)

since I haven't seen anyone talk about it imma just dump some thoughts here: elwurd sucks as lesbian representation, and arguably as a person. she feels like she's based on A lot of bad stereotypes about lesbians being predatory or overtly sexual. the way she interacts with Joey and her whole "turning good girls bad" thing leans into the "predatory lesbian" stereotype so much I can't help but think it's intentional, and the way the fandom treats her as some goddess of gay rep drives me insane!
Hmm. That sounds frustrating
First thing, we haven't got enough clean exposition to any of the Hiveswap side characters to make informed assumptions about them, they say and do very little in Hiveswap and for all we know Elwurd could turn her fanon self and reputation on its head in the future. In Friendsim the mere interaction with MSPAreader influences the character's actions and thoughts by the nature of reader's meta adventure
Second, I feel that there's a stew of issues at play here:
-On one level, we have homestuck and related media having a thing with making terrible people likeable, most of the characters are based around stereotypes some more awful than others and they all have some degree of assholery and moral greyness, even the nice ones.
Tavros tries to be good but engages in deadly role games against other trolls and likes to make animals fight and eat each other in his room and sees nothing wrong with that
Calliope makes fandom style content about real people she interacts with without their consent, her friends being chill about it when they find out doesn't make it an acceptable thing to do
-On another level, Hiveswap seems to have a mix of fantrolls and trolls created for the story. That means there's a bunch of trolls that have the typical early homestuck fantroll format of "this is my troll, they're Alternian but they're one of the good ones" with the assholery and moral greyness added as an afterthought to fit the setting and a bunch that were created with those traits incorporated from conception. And it's real hard to find out which character is which
-On yet another one, the writers have kind of turned Alternia into a big Earth metaphor/criticism particularly focused in the United States, so it *is* probably intended when things are unsavory but familiar like Elwurd being a controversial lesbian stereotype despite Alternia being a generally bisexual alien society
-And then there's the art, by rendering everyone to look so soft it's way harder to perceive them accurately to Alternian values cause your fave's just some cute li'l bean that can do no wrong or they can do wrong but it's okay for them because reasons. This warped perception extends to even Zebruh, imo
As I've said in the past, I don't recommend emulating homestuck and homestuck related characters or their actions, as easily to project on as they are

First up in the nuwho rewatch, Rose!
It's ya girl! 
I love how RTD sets look like actual places people live. Like that looks like an living room
Love the music so much omg
MICKEY i love you and your dorky dancing
This music is an absolute bop
Wait did she forget to bring down the till or did she hope nobody would notice before she left and didn't have to do it
Why is the ceo's office in the basement? And she knows him on a first name basis? Oh wait i bet that means chief electrical officer or something (judging by how there's the lightning sign on his door idk)
IT'S YA BOI
Don't like this music as much
Oh okay so it did stand for that
Rip Wilson
"I'm gonna go up there and blow it up! Which might well kill me in the process, but don't worry about me; go on home and have your beans on toast"
God i missed nine so much omg he's so sassy 
JACKIE!!! ILY
Mickey!!
Lol their cute bickering it's amazing
"You need something stronger let's to go the pub"
"There's a match on isn't there?"
"Well I've got no idea what you're talking about how dare you even insinuate—"
Wakes up, goes back to bed
"I know she is Greek but that's not the point" amazing
"Well anything could happen" "no" the doctor is ace af and we stan 
Love the implication that nine hasn't seen his reflection, when later we get a whole series of audio dramas that took place after he regenerated and before he met rose so he hasn't looked in a mirror or anything in all that time
Jackie blow-drying her already dry hair for... reasons?
God he's such a bitch i love him
NINE'S THEME (which yes is basically the same as tens theme shut up his is softer and just has the vocals)
Rose googles "doctor" expecting anything other than a list of doctors and then goes to an internet stranger's house and would've gone alone if Micky hadn't insisted on coming
Also how the fuck is that picture supposed to look anything like nine
Also why was the doctor at the Kennedy assassination? 
Oh look another photo that looks nothing like him at all
At least the drawing does, though that's mostly bc of the outfit
'His constant companion is death' dude didn't you just say that he visited a family who then decided not to go on the titanic and thus survived? 
Oh i love these effects
Not gonna blame Rose for not realizing Mickey was sus bc nobody would think someone they know would be kidnapped and replaced by an evil plastic replica
IT'S YA GIRL (TARDIS)
lol love rose running right out even though fake Mickey is chasing them
NINE'S THEME AGAIN
She's so beautiful
And nines purposefully avoiding caring about Mickey bc he's jaded and doesn't want to be distracted and wants to think that sacrifices are justified bc that's how he copes
And rose is rightly like hey wtf how can you forget about him
God I love how a character calls out the doctor on his flaws (which are justified and understandable and make even more sense the more we learn about him) and it's actually true and not immediately criticized by the narrative certain showrunners could never
Nine in the middle of the London eye I'm gonna cry
I love how the doctor always cites the specific article or whatever from the shadow proclamation. Like even when alien species are governed by it do they really know every article and shit? I could cite maybe like five articles of my country's founding documents there's way everyone knows what part of whatever law he's citing
Hc that they just name random numbers and shit and nobody knows enough about it to contradict him
The grief in his voice holy fuck and how he's choked up and stuff
God Eccleston deserves an Oscar for this
People say he should get one for dalek and they're right but this is fucking incredible too
Aww Clive no
Jackie you are not doing a good job of running away
Rose i love you taking time to monologue before you save the day king shit
No i can't even lie i actually love her little speech you go queen
Mickey my beloved are you all right
Rose maybe tell your mom you're okay before you hang up lol
Rose maybe consider that Mickey didn't have any time to adjust or anything and he was just kidnapped and didn't really get to talk to the doctor at all
Aww nine is so sad :-(
Anyway the other possibility is that this was right after he regenerated but then he left w the tardis and had all the audio adventures before coming back and telling rose that it also travels in time
Now I'm filled with an overwhelming desire to read some nine fanfic (if only I fucking had any someone please rec some to me)

A review of czech names for polyneopteran insects:
Earwig / Škvor: 10/10 extremely visceral sound.
Stone Fly / Pošvatka: 10/10 reminds one of poštvat, to incite or attack, plus the diminutive.
Grasshopper / Kobylka: 8/10 I like that it beans “little mare” because that’s cute but also weird that someone looked at a grasshopper and thought “hoëřs :)”
Locust / Saranče: 10/10 love a Turkic loanword, appreciate the rustling sound of it, and like that it’s neuter gender to give the idea of a truly alien swarm overshadowing one’s entire town.
Cricket / Cvrček: 7/10 sure it means chirper or screamer but I don’t personally think of crickets as going tsvrch tsvrch tsvrch
Mole Cricket / Krtonožka: 11/10 it’s one compound word, the meaning of “lil’ mole legs” is cute and when I look at a mole cricket, it is so easy for me to think “Oh, a Krtonožka. :) <3″
Angel Insect / Drobnělky: 2/10 the Latin word for the order is Zoraptera which sounds so much better than the English or Czech terms so we all lose here.
Web Spinner / Snovatka: 7/10 sounds fine, and i like the cognate with snovací used in words like spinneret, silk gland, and black-widow spider, but my brain would like it better as snovacka or snovačka even though I know snovačka is a weaver-bird.
Walking Stick / Strašilka: 10/10 great translation of phasmid, making them sound just a bit terrifying.
Walking Leaf / Lupenitka: 8/10 calling it “lil shrubbery” is very cute, and mellifluous to say, but also uninspired compared to strašilka.
Termite / Termit: 0/10 get your own word.
Termite / Všekaz: 7/10 there we go. Loses points for meaning “omni-rot” which is just rude.  I know they’re not nice in your house wood, but they’re integral parts of many ecosystems outside your house.
Cockroach / Rus domácí: 0/10 YOU CAN’T JUST CALL ROACHES HOUSE RUSSIANS
Cockroach / Šváb: 1/10 YOU CAN’T CALL THEM GERMANS EITHER but at least since there is the alternate term Švábsky for the Schwäbian German people you can pretend it’s a coïncidence.
Mantis / Kudlanka: 11/10 perfect, means “little switchblade”, can be substituted for kalinka when singing, great combination of cute and dangerous both in its meaning and its sounds.

"You know the space beans are actually little aliens, not beans at all. But they were so cute. They looked like little beans. Anyways, I'll bring the cheese."
Tumblr media
"Hold on a minute. You brought home tiny aliens? Please tell me you aren't eating them. Unless they tried to eat you first. Then it... fair I suppose." Bucky mutters, a little concerned. "Are you keeping them as pets or as room mates?"

One last post before I’m off to Japan! I found a pretty good quality video of the ‘Attack of the Tree Eating Aliens’ episode and I loved all the expressions they made in this interaction.
MK: “Ok, brother, how many fingers am I holding up?” CK: “Brain still fuzzy, um, uh... Four!” MK: “...” CK: “...It’s two, isn’t it?” MK: *nods* CK: “Okay, you go!”
These dorks, I swear. XD

Anon Requested: If requests are open, can I request something fluffy where the reader is on her period and Venom doesn’t know what’s going on and Eddie explains it to Venom?
A/n: Day 4 of 7 of the Venom Weekathon!! Almost to the end already? Doesn't seem fair, really. Anyways, feedback is always welcome and the inbox is open if you want or need anything!!
You were curled up on the couch, clutching onto one of the throw pillows for any type of support. You'd taken your painkillers, but they are taking their sweet time kicking in. The tv wasn't keeping your attention, as all you could think about was simply ripping your uterus out and just never dealing with it again.
"Eddie, she hasn't gotten up for hours. Is she dying. What do we do?"
"Calm down," Eddie said, grabbing the heating pad from the cabinet, "It's going to be fine."
"It's not fine. She was like this this same time last month." Venom wanted to come off as angry and scary, but he sounded more like a wounded puppy, "You're lying to me."
"Okay, you're right- About the month thing. But, remember? After a few days, she was alright?"
"Yes.."
"It.." Eddie paused, staring at the heating pad for a second before making his way to where you resided, "It's just a thing that happens."
You groaned a little as you shifted into a more comfortable position, kindly thanking Eddie for the heating pad.
"Can I get you anything else?" Eddie asked sweetly.
"Maybe a snack if that's no trouble."
"No trouble at all, love."
Eddie got up and walked to the kitchen, "See, she's gonna be just fine. She always is."
"But what IS it. What is making her feel this way all the time. Can we eat it?"
"Uhm," Eddie gave it a second long thought. A second too long, "I'd...No, we..We don't wanna do that."
"Answers."
"It's a bit complicated to explain...Do you want the long version or the short version?"
"I want the version where you tell me what the hell it is, Eddie."
"So, you see, a woman has this thing called a-"
"I understand female anatomy, Eddie. I just don't understand how it works."
"Alright, so," Eddie anxiously dug through the cupboards for a snack he thought you'd enjoy, "Uh, well, sometimes, well, once a month..Stuff...Comes out."
"Stuff comes out? What type of stuff."
Eddie, not wanting to get into the nitty gritty and wanting to spare himself the details, grabbed a few granola bars, "Just, yknow..Stuff."
"You are useless. I'll simply look it up on the internet."
"Okay, fine, look, listen, man, it's like a reproductive cycle thing." Eddie sighed, "These things happen to a woman once a month to, y'know, clean out the system."
"You mean that a females insides come out once a month...For sanitary reasons? Because that means unsanitary, Eddie."
"No, no. Like.. Alright, so, when a man and a woman love each other very much-"
"I'm an alien not a baby. I know how you guys make offspring.."
"Cool beans." Eddie clutched onto the granola bars, "So let's say, for example, we do the deed- Okay? But we don't make a baby...The body has to flush everything out once a month to-" Eddie rubbed his neck, "I guess you get rid of, uh."
"Yes?"
Not seeing any other pleasant way to say it, Eddie just spat out the first thing he could think of, "It just means that she's not pregnant. So the body just has to sort of reset itself for the month."
"Oh." Was all Venom replied with for awhile.
"Do you understand?"
"So, no offspring means she has to endure this every month?"
"Pretty much."
"So I'm seeing a problem with a simple solution."
"Simple solution?" Eddie seemed amused, "That's cute."
"We should simply make an offspring and then this won't be a problem."
"That's less cute."
"Am I wrong."
"Technically no-"
"Then it's settled."
"It's not settled."
"It has been settled."
"Venom, no."
"Yes."
Eddie mentally cursed himself for even entertaining any of the symbiote's thoughts. Every idea Venom's ever had has never been a good one.
"It's not fair that this is a monthly occurrence. That's a really shitty thing to go through."
"Okay, I hear you. I agree." Eddie was making his way back to the couch, "But whatever the hell idea just came out of that mouth of yours is worse."
"What? I thought you wanted offspring with her."
"Yes, but you don't just have a baby because of this type of deal. You gotta discuss that with everyone involved."
"I'm sure she'd agree with me. You're being unreasonable."
"Fine let's ask her then." Eddie walked around the couch, "Y/n, baby, can I-"
It seems you'd passed out. All curled up in your blanket, with one of the cheap pillows tucker under your head. You looked a little sweaty, so Eddie adjusted the heat setting on the heating pad and lowered the volume on the tv. He quietly set your snack on the table and leaned over to turn the lamp off.
"We'll talk about it later."
"That's the spirit."
"Don't get your hopes up," Eddie yawned, gently laying his head on your hips, hand resting where the heating pad was, just to ensure that it wasn't too hot, "I don't think she'll be too keen on how you view the whole baby thing, man."
Venom was sure his solution was a good one. Of course, he's never really seen or dealt with a human baby before. Surely it can't be any worse than what you're dealing with now, right? In fact, he was certain it'd be easier. And so far, up to this very moment in time, Venom's never been wrong. How wrong could he be about this?
