I think those colour-coded character relationship charts are cute, but I can never figure out how to make one because my characters feel such weird ways about each other that it’d just be this lol

second img is a more serious attempt, transcript here squidknees.tumblr.com/post/7967910...

thinking about Ichika in the morning... she's always in danger of hypothermia on account of the curse, so I imagine she wears her blanket around for a good chunk of her morning routine #art #oc

gardeners are from a clade of creatures with a motile larval stage and a sessile adult stage, which I'm going to call "flowerworms".

this type of flowerworm parasitizes adult gardeners. it's one of the many infections the larvae work to keep in check.

OC meme titled "their only personality trait in fandom". The categories are:
"misunderstood innocent baby / can do no wrong"
"silly and random / gremlin"
"parental / mom friend"
"angst machine"
"hypercompetent girlboss"
"irredeemable evil bitch"
"whole personality is being queer / sexy / both"
"no fandom consensus; discourse too heated"

Talita opens the top drawer of a large chest curiously, while Bip's avatar snakes around the walls near her.

Talita: Are you really getting rid of all of these… …personal possessions?

Bip: Objects are meaningless without the people who valued and used them.

She frowns, holding up an old, beat up manual book.

Talita: I’m not sure I agree… it seems wasteful.

She holds the book out arms length, squinting to try and read the text without glasses.

Talita: In your position, I’d consider at least selling some of this.

She reaches deeper into the drawer and touches something soft, tugging out a thick, plush fold of it with her hand. It appears to be a large blanket of tiled, fuzzy triangles. Each triangle has simple stitched designs and knots in the center, forming simple patterns and symbols. Talita pulls it closer to her face and realizes with sudden astonishment that she's touching a real organic material, not faux velvet.

Talita: …Wait, is this real leather?? It must be worth a fortune!

Bip: That’s an antler velvet blanket.

Talita holds up the blanket, her arms and the bottom of the artifact appearing to melt away into a series of embroidered depictions of the past crew created with the same stitches as the symbols on the real blanket.

Bip: Every year, the matriarch Ngilick would help the clan carve off their loose velvet.

An embroidered depiction shows two centaurs, one carving off the antler velvet with a knife. The "knife" is a pointed piece of bone with a hole on the wide end. It's punctured through the embroidery surface to go under Ngilick's hand, with the hole sewn down. The antler velvet appears to be an applique. 

Bip: The raw skin would be washed in salt water and stretched to dry.

An embroidered depiction shows Ngilick pinning pieces of velvet to dry, depicted as applique triangles held down by knots.

Bip: The stiff dried skins were massaged with animal gland oil until they softened and cured. Ngilick would sew the panels into the blanket and embroider them with the year's events.

An embroidered depiction shows Ngilick sewing pieces of the velvet onto the blanket. They hold the sewing needle with their trunk, portrayed as a real, threaded needle puncturing the embroidery surface.

Bip: Some of those panels are from Ngilick's great-grandclan. They might be over 100 years old.

An embroidered depiction shows a group of centaurs proudly holding up the blanket, a rectangle of tessellating applique triangles.

most of what I’m doing lately is human OCs, so I’m thinking about committing to an actual spec bio side project…

(these guys are people, to be clear. they will have clothes and language and society. it is just going to take me a bit to get there)
