FEMA search and rescue teams take days to reach Texas after flooding as agency faces overhaul — CNN
“Multiple urban search and rescue teams from across the country that responded to the deadly floods in central Texas told CNN they were not deployed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency until at least Monday evening — days after any victim had been found alive.”

So we can’t have a list of all the people who own guns, which can kill people and destroy things, but it’s fine to have a list of autistic people? What?
Hi Squad!
I am working on Part Three of The Boys Who Kiss Boys On Stage Series (it’s been a while, I promise they have just been making out for a minute.) I have a QUESTION.
Would you rather read a couple 6k-8k pieces in the series OR a chonky 12k-16k piece?
I’m just curious.

ur so good at making weird monster anatomy look consistent and believable!!! I really like the shape of this one’s snout
Thanks, I’m glad you like these guys! Most of it is just picking familiar shapes to work off of and using real world animal anatomy as a base.

Also if his tail rattles when it moves, could he use it as maracas?
Thanks! His face is mostly based on a baboon skull, though I’ve gone and mixed it a bit with a human skull for some of the eye socket and forehead proportions.

With his tail I’m thinking it doesn’t rattle every time, but maybe if he whips it real quick or intentionally shakes it around. Otherwise it creaks a bit. The closest I could compare it to would like when I once had to move an old deer carcass that got mummified in the sun, they get pretty noisy when they’re all dried out- it probably sounds like that.
Not sure if it would be like maracas exactly, but possibly like a rattlesnake. Even then though Primus isn’t really the type to have that sort of fun with his body- he hates being undead.
I HAVE MAGIC TOO!!! HELL YEAH LUV THAT DRAGON
magic is a Good Dragon and i love her
awwwwww that makes me so glad!!! ty for telling me u r a sweetie!!!

this is something I’ve been really interested in but couldn’t find any info on from Google, so thank you very much for this post!!!
Yeah, I was basically in the same position as you a few months ago. Very few people have written about arthropod enrichment. That’s why I decided to take what I could find on the internet and combine it with my own observations to help everyone else!
dude waking up with a song in your head that doesn’t exist has happened to me during what mightve also been sleep paralysis!!!!? it’s so eerie mine was a weird frantic harpsichord tune
whoaaa thats really interesting ???? i’ve never heard of this happening to anyone else !! mine was really strange, it had nonsense lyrics & it sounded like a woman from the 20s-30s singing but if the record was like….. warped. also very eerie !!

this is really neat!! How do you get the drawing into the model?
Thanks!!
The first step is converting the model into a flat texture map, this is called UV maping!

I have to cut the model into parts, flatten them and arrange them (My map could be neater but I was impatient…)

Then I exported the map and brought it into Sai (typically i can load the model directly into photoshop but my version is outdated V-V )
I draw onto the map and save…then the texture (as long as I hook it up correctly) will automatically update on the model!
The bright green parts ill be transparent later to create a hair effect :>
If you want to see the whole process the stream was archived here (Fair warning, some parts are an auditory nightmare as I played music while talking through a text to voice robot…)
It’s 5 hours long but you can skip through to see the model develop (and also dance)
Yes! Though it’s a little weird to want to domesticate a sapient being. Mimics are not only intelligent, but are often capable of communicating in Undercommon and/or Aklo!
Most of the time, Mimics aren’t truly Evil, just malicious, fae-like pranksters, and can be convinced to back off on their attack or bribed into going away… provided they aren’t hungry.

Oh! oh!!!! a Pelican Spider!!! Archaeidaeids!!! absolutely fucked up anatomy and myriad eyes!!!!
