I Think About This Comic Often,,, /gen

SO HAPPY WITH THE SHADING ON THE FACE OMG

did a little bit of an Arcane style study with that

MY BABY WITH THE COMPLEXION OF A WET KITTEN I LOVE YOU TWO TIME!!!

the creature,,,

so about that rework

if two time isn't allowed near kitchen knives, are we sure we want to arm them with a dagger?...

I’m not sure if this is a hot take but white washing coil is NOT funny at all oh my god it actually kinda pisses me off.

It's fucking weird, man.

i love when ppl say “that’s so you” it feels good to know i exist and have a vibe

how to support someone with mental illness:

And fun fact; I think autistic people’s writing is more likely to be wrongly classified as ai. That may just be formal-academic type writing though. But you know all the serious fanfic writers gotta be at least a little neurodivergent.

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

[That's ass.]

and just goes to kıll əvɛryone.

THIS IS SO SIIIICK OMGGGG

rainworld slugs! :V I put way too much thought into this

other notes under cut cause I thought about it a lot

their skeleton isn’t normal bone, it’s actually a mix of normal and prismatic cartilage! this keeps their bones light and flexible while still giving them the ability to tightly grasp and bite things. they all have prismatic cartilage for their jaws except for spearmaster, which discourages them to eat using their mouth since it’s extremely time consuming and uncomfortable given that their diet otherwise isn’t intended to be small plant particles and plankton.

spearmasters spines/spears from its tail are also full of digestive enzymes. this won’t kill prey by itself, but once downed spearmaster can just chillax as the enzymes do their thing inside the body and the visceral mush is returned to spearmasters digestive system for processing.

all of them have some sort of internal shell in their mantle except for saint. Rivulets is vestigal and very thin to allow for more complex movement but they do still have it. In the evolutionary timeline of scug—>furred scug, at some point it became more efficient to develop thick, dense fur that could deal with the cold while simultaneously protecting them. saints pneumatostome is also almost entirely gone and is more just an unusually soft spot on their back.

I interpret artificer, gourmand, and watcher to be apart of a “future” generation of scugs far beyond survivor, hunter, and monk—though obviously not as far into the future as saint is. they developed cerata to mimic lizards, since a lot of organisms will think twice before messing with a lizard rather than a slugcat, which is (typically) much less deadly.

hunter, artificer, and spearmaster are all malnourished, which isn’t super noticeable in the way I drew them but I’d just like to point it out cause it’s important 2 me lol.

temple trio getting caught doing something illegal but it’s something like, super stupid
