#medium-sized dogs

[cagedcats]

Been keeping an eye on the @whispering-clan blog a tad. Kind of inspired me to redo LostClan ngl. But also inspired me to try and make some puppy sprites.

But here you have a custom Bigpup/kit! :,D idk if I’ll do an apprentice, adult or elder sprite tho.

The kit sprite is just a random kit sprite that I yoinked

#caged sprites #? if that works idk how to title this one #whisperingclan #cryptidclaws #other people’s ocs #but could you imagine a dog mod for clangen??? #good lord the amout of sprites #like so many for long hair/short hair but then also sizes #small/medium/big sized dogs #it would be so much work good god #and idk if I’d do it the survivors style since it’s already not super… reliant on actual dog group structures #but eh fantasy and all that I suppose #I know there’s a Lion mod I am looking forward to tho 👀 the details and work that person is doing woof #anyway bye bye now

The "Humans are Space Orcs" trope has always scratched a real good itch in my brain. I have something I want to write for it, but I'm really shit at coming up with a plot, so I keep just doing little drabbles like this:

"You know, I don’t like that they call you that.”

Thirtytwo’s ears perked up and swiveled towards Alex, who had been sitting in the corner of the room and watching nem type away at their console. The Terran had seemed content to spend this work cycle just monitoring Thirtytwo in neir duties, and if ne hadn’t been used to this by now, it probably would have been more than a little anxiety-inducing to be stared at by a predator species for so long. With those eerie, front-facing eyes, it was always pretty clear where he was staring. 

Alex had been silent until now, just moments after Thirtytwo ended a call with one of the overseers.

“That they call me what?” 

The Terran scowled, and Thirtytwo had repress the urge to shrink down against neir seat at the show of disapproval. “Drudge.”

Thirtytwo’s spines raised slightly in confusion, and ne turned in neir chair to fully face Alex. “That is… what I am, though.”

Alex huffed through his nose. “Yeah, but that’s not– you’re an individual, not just some faceless member of…” He seemed uncomfortable with stating the rest aloud. “You know.”

“The serving caste.” It didn’t bother Thirtytwo at all to be referred to by such; it was just a descriptive of what ne had been born to do. It wasn’t quite clear to nem why this subject seemed to agitate Alex so much any time it came up.

“Yeah, that.” The words sounded flat and unhappy through Thirtytwo’s translator. “They won’t even let you have a real name.”

Now ne was really confused. “My designation is Vega-Bluelight-Drudge-32nd-Born-of-24th-Generation.”

“That’s not a name, that’s just saying what you are!"

Alex’s agitation was beginning to affect neir mood as well, triggering an extremely strong flight urge, and ne couldn’t help snapping back at him.  “You aren’t making any sense! They’re the same thing!”

“Okay, okay, sorry. Look." He scrubbed a hand through the short, yellowish fur on the top of his head. "My name is Alex, right?”

Thirtytwo's ears flicked. "Alexander Marcus Sullivan Sol.” That had been on the crew briefing that was sent out before Alex had come on board for the first time. Pronouncing it was a little bit difficult, because neir translator didn't pick up those sounds as translatable words. It always seemed odd to Thirtytwo that the Terran's name was just… gibberish.

“Right. Now, do all those words say what I am?”

Thirtytwo’s spines were beginning to soften out of their defense posture. “Sol means… you’re from the Sol system…”

“And the rest?”

“I don’t know.” They seemed to be nonsense words, but ne didn’t want to offend Alex by saying so. “They don’t translate.”

“Where I come from, names aren’t just… a label, so you can be sorted or ordered around. Names are a way to differentiate you from everyone else. They’re a word or combination of words that very specifically mean you.”

"So they're… descriptive words." 

"Sort of. They can be. Most Terrans are named by their parents, or whomever raised them. Sometimes it's a traditional family name, or maybe the name of someone else they want to honor. Or sometimes, they pick it hoping that the kid will grow up to have the qualities of their name."

"So… what does your name mean?"

Alex paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Actually, hold on a minute." He picked up the datapad he'd brought in with him earlier and started tapping away. Probably accessing one of those databases only the higher castes had access to. "Alex is short for Alexander, meaning 'defender of men'," he read aloud.

"So… a warrior? That sounds like a caste assignment."

Alex shrugged. "That's just a coincidence. My dad was an agricultural laborer, Mom ran the transport for the company Dad worked for, and Tati stayed home and watched the kids. I was the only one that took military service, the others chose to work with Dad."

"And Marcus?"

"Eh…" Alex scrolled on his pad, was quiet a moment, then shifted a little in his seat. "It relates to an ancient god of war."

Thirtytwo gave him an unimpressed look. "You're not proving your point, here."

Last Window if it was awesome

#They're best friends your honour #you'd think it would be a bit awkward if your old best friend killed your new friend's best friend #but fortunately for Kyle his friend is Louis Denonno #the human equivalent of a medium sized dog #hotel dusk #kyle hyde #louis denonno #tony wolf #last window #I actually do like Tony #I've not played Last Window but I've seen a playthrough #and Tony was my favourite character #but Louis would hate him #Tony always struck me as more malicious. Which is probably an unfair judgement since he's going through his character arc in last window #but he's definitely more violent #Tony has a history of aggravated assault. Louis has a history of picking pockets and being a bit stupid. he's a good boy at heart #I made all 3 of them in the Sims and Tony stole Kyle's vinyls so. I'm just saying Louie would never do that. #but yeah if anyone has fun little Last Window If It Was Better ideas I want to hear them. Housemate shenanigans my favourite.

Thinking more about my little robot

#al art #al ocs #so ya it is a courier^^ #i think theres different types of mail robots this is like the standard letters + medium parcels carrier #theyre probably like big dog sized i think msybe a bit bigger #theyre fun cause you can tell when one is freshly manufactured because its front legs wont be scuffed to shit #their chunky board legs give them pretty loud footsteps so they dont usually need to ring doorbells #But if they do the back leg is extra flexible so they lie down on their front legs and the back bends back over top of them to hit the bell #so ya! i just think theyre fun #also i need help naming them

I have accidentally taught my dog to get into cozy couch cuddle mode at the sound of the Dragon Age: Inquisition theme.

He hates the sound of the playstation switch user/turn off interactions, bc they mean I am Getting Off the Couch To Do Things Now, and therefore am abandoning him forever. Conversely, the DA:I theme kicking into gear means Oh Shit, Hell Yeah, They’re Gonna Be Here For Cuddles for a WHILE.

And so, very mixed messages were then sent when I had a chill DA:I background music playlist going while doing dishes a bit ago. Ten minutes into the playlist, the theme kicked on. Promptly, he looked up from his lil antler he was chewing on, jumped up on the couch, dug into the blankets, and proceeded to start huffing at me, standing up, then sitting down, grab his antler then jump back up, chew, sit and look at me, huff— just,,, absolute >8| energy from this little man thanks to a slammin’ soundtrack I may or may not let loop a couple times whenever I play……… (it took me twenty minutes to join him on the couch and he shoved his head VERY hard against my thigh. Wedged in there. No room for thoughts in that lil skull. Or for me to move when my gay-ass lounging makes some limb fall asleep. Heavy burdens….)

#lethalhoopla nonsense #dai #he is a small to medium sized little man that is nearly 1 whole year old and loves to Smush Bugs with his nose #and also has torn open every soft toy ever given to him in less than half an hour yes even the ones meant for pitbulls #he’ll kill a man for a banana. he’d kill TWO men for a banana. #he barks so much at ppl pasisng by the apartment no matter what i or my bro do……….. little king of his little balcony…………… sorry neighbors #anyways my dog loves a powerful musical hook he truly is my son

Okay, some more dragonkin size stuff because if I ever did firelizards I can't remember and can't find it.

To go back over the basics I've worked out in other posts with the addition of the canon wingspans of dragons- because I haven't included them anywhere but want to get them for the firelizards-

In general we determined that the length difference between the ranks of dragonkin (assuming they stay consistent scross the species) to be as follows:

Greens are 81% the length of Blues

Blues are 84% the length of Browns

Browns are 89% the length of Bronzes

Bronzes are 91% the length of Golds

Dragons we determined have a height:length ratio of 1:2.4. Going off of DLG the length:wingspan ratio is approximately 1:1.66. Based on this we get the following as our average sizes for the dragons.

Greens: Height- 9.3 ft ; Length- 22.5 ft ; Wingspan- 37.4 ft

Blues: Height- 11.4 ft ; Length- 27.5 ft ; Wingspan- 45.7 ft

Browns: Height- 13.5 ft ; Length- 32.5 ft ; Wingspan- 54 ft

Bronzes: Height- 15.2 ft ; Length- 36.5 ft ; Wingspan- 60.6 ft

Golds: Height- 16.6 ft ; Length- 40 ft ; Wingspan- 66.4 ft

Fun Fact: Ramoth's wingspan here would be closer to 75 ft from wingtip to wingtip.

The whers, meanwhile, we're given a canon height:length ratio of 1:3.25. We aren't, to my knowledge, given a wingspan ratio or anything to really base one off of- though if anybody has said information and a source I can find and look at, please send it my way so I can include that information. As is, the numbers we have- assuming gold whers share shoulder height with brown dragons (as Todd states that they are the same size but differing ratios require that to be along one measurement or the other and this one won my poll)- are as follows.

Greens: Height- 7.4 ft ; Length- 24.1 ft

Blues: Height- 9.1 ft ; Length- 29.7 ft

Browns: Height- 10.8 ft ; Length- 35.4 ft

Bronzes: Height- 12.2 ft ; Length- 39.8 ft

Golds: Height- 13.5 ft ; Length- 43.8 ft

So, with that out of the way, where do we start with firelizards?

We actually do get a length for the fuckers! We do- not a specific number, but a length. We get golds described as arms length multiple times, and the DLG backs this up with the claim that an adult firelizard is, from nose to fork, the length of a grown woman's arm. I do actually have access to numbers for this (check this out, it's so handy for so much more shit than you would expect). Using the mean grip reach, and settling for somewhere between the standard and the extended reach, we get about 28 inches, or 2.3 ft.

Now, from here we have to make some assumptions- namely we're going to assume that firelizards maintain similar ratios as dragons. This isn't perfect of course, but we've only got so much to work with because, well *gestures at the books*. We can also assume that firelizards share the same inter-rank sizing as their descendant species, given that while I can't remember if they were specifically stated to do so, fandom seems to generally back the concept and the dragons and whers had to get it from somewhere.

So, based on these, we get the following averages-

Greens: Height- 6.4 in ; Length- 1.3 ft ; Wingspan- 2.1 ft

Blues: Height- 7.9 in ; Length- 1.6 ft ; Wingspan- 2.6 ft

Browns: Height- 9.5 in ; Length- 1.9 ft ; Wingspan- 3.1 ft

Bronzes: Height- 10.6 in ; Length- 2.1 ft ; Wingspan- 3.5 ft

Golds: Height- 11.7 in ; Length- 2.3 ft ; Wingspan- 3.9 ft

And there we go! What should be the end of my dragonkin size math! Technically weights could be estimated as well, but I've tried that and trust me you guys don't wanna go down that path.

Just kick back, relax, and if you wanna play around with this shit have at and have fun!

made a post about wishing you could easily track down old toys you had last month, coincidentally found the photo of the first one today!

#it's not even medium dog-sized ahaha it's so small #I didn't remember it having horns! it's also not sitting up #and I don't think it has any wings? #this was taken in my mum's crimson red gothic wrought-iron style headboard-and-vanity 2001 bedroom

Just Desserts Pets by size (and owner)! (Patreon)

Bonus Joel and the new Bamboo cat-staring each other down:

#Doodles #Just Desserts #I would also say by name and sex but a lot of them are still undecided lol #I'm pretty sure these are all the at-least-somewhat canon pets - Just A Bee for example was omitted lol #Maybe there'll be someone who gets Just A Bee someday! But it's not gonna be Honey&Easter Nest I can tell you that much lol #I do not care how thematic it would be! She gets a bunny! It is the most correct! #Also somewhat ironic that she got a cherry-filled donut bunny and then Cherry Shortcake got the merengue dove... #Look they're not meant to Match they're meant to be What The Owner Wants! #Anyway this has all gotten off the rails lol - down the line! #Starting with the itty-bittiest of spiders! Spider Bites' spider bites ♥ I still love them - probably even more now lol #I never did decide how many she can summon at once since they're not like...properly physical in the same way Taffy is lol #You can touch them and hold them to be certain! But only when they exist (lol) Probably wouldn't be more than a baker's dozen hehehe #The birds ended up being the smallest after the spider(s) huh :0 I wasn't planning that but it seems fitting #I think Merengue (name not decided on but if Wafer is any indication lol) probably is a little smaller than Kiwi's flan chicken #Chicken is chicken-sized but Merengue isn't quite as small as a pigeon - somewhere in the middle #Sunflower is tiny by mammal standards tho! The smallest yet! Even smaller than cinnamouse! #Then again for a mouse cinnamouse is quite large lol - big plush teddy-bear sized! :D #I really do want to get better at drawing dogs... Do Sweet Pea justice one of these days she's such a sweet girl #I still love that she's made of almond BARK white chocolate - so she can lick her own paws hehehe #Konpeitoad is wider than they are tall really - still counts for medium sized just an outlier is all! Still cute tho #They're probably one of the ones I most want to draw digitally as well since I can imagine their colour palette easily haha #Cute purpley and cream toad skin with rainbow konpeito warts and clear bubble-cheeks hehe <3 They're very cute! #Barnaby too - he's got a strong mint colour palette! Lots of greens and whites! Still such a fun and cute lad with all his segmentation #Also finally cleaned up the Mercandy's amezaiku catfish design a bit - better fins! #It's a bit funny as well since Marshmallow Fluff originally had a mint colour palette as well until I simplified her design :P Things! #Wafer's largely unchanged tho ♪ Seeing them near each other I kinda wanna draw him and Sweet Pea playing now hehe ♥ #Finally Taffy! The smallest of the large pets! About what you'd expect for a mammalian farm animal tho I suppose haha #Butterscotch is still so cuuute ahh ;; I can't believe I haven't drawn her more - she has so much room for scalloping! Her earsss #And finally the Queens' pets! They get to be the biggest because they're royalty lol - they already make the biggest creatures! #Oh and I suppose double-finally the Vargases' licorice cat and the new cat!

Speaking of swole like i LOVE that you draw Souda kinda twunky sure he’s a loser failboy but he’s still like a bike mechanic hes not gonna be tiny he totally lifts because some shitty male self help youtuber tells him that’s how you impress the ladies. except it mostly impresses the men

Souda to me has a Thickness. I cant explain it he just does.

#I rarely actually dwell on headcanons they just come to me and I accept #Souda has a surprising Solidness to him and thats that #He has a sort of. Medium Sized Buff Dog energy. Not quite pitbull but something akin #Not an art #Talky Talky Tuesday
