More nails on Chaimakia’s Species:

• On their feet, they have four claws and a dewclaw-like claw on their wrist that serves as a sort of thumb. They don’t really have a use for it.

• They have no physical sex, due to not having a natural body. Any male/female identity in the species exists only as a gender identity.

• They reproduce asexually. By reproducing, they create a new inner body “froth“, which, again, does not come with a dedicated body, and must be supplied.

• Secondary “parent“ kinship ties only exist as a social construct. Due to they way they reproduce, a member of the species only has one biological parent.

I could use some help with a universe canon that I’ve been developing over the past year. It started as an unusually vivid dream, and has since lived on as a mesh of loose plot points. This month, I’ve started to try getting major canon elements nailed down in physical format. I’ve made a map of the canon universe (using my bathroom floor) and today, made vectors of one of the main characters.

This is Chaimakia, part of a species in the canon currently under a filler name. Chaimakia & the rest of her kin take the form of dragons, but the details are a bit unusual. Here’s what I have nailed down right now:

• [name]s have no natural bodies or internal organs. Beneath their skin is a froth that controls their body. This froth is technically a [name]’s true being.

• [name]s have no sense of smell or taste, due to not having a natural body. They can only sense pressure, and they use their entire bodies as eardrums to detect sound.

• [name]s can reshape their bodies. A [name], for example, can rearrange their limbs into a comfortable humanoid/furry form. In effect, a [name] is just a shroud filled with sentient foam!

• [name]s can also use their inner froth “body“ to form entirely new limbs. They mostly just use these to make eyes for themselves, though. These eyes don’t look like human eyes, which is why Chaimakia usually keeps her eyes shut.

The big question: what do I name this species?

I have no idea what TNC is . . .

ZOO ALERT!

At 2:20pm ET (1:20pm CT, 12:20pm MT, 11:20am WT), the National Emergency Alert System will issue a test alert. When this happens, every device in the United States turned on & with a cellular connection will sound an emergency alert, even if the device has government alert notifications turned off. This is a special level of alert reserved for nuclear war & extreme natural disasters. Devices will sound, radio will be jammed, and other physical infrastructure set up to get these alerts out will activate. Please brace yourself!

Social experiment: be in wasteof.money/chat tomorrow at 10am Eastern USA Time. I’m planning a community activity and want a good number of participants.

I was going to make a new mineral fish inspired something my dad said about a needlefish that we saw while visiting the local inlet, but I’d need to open my TLoZ:TotK file to get reference images, and I’m too lazy to go through the process of booting it up, getting the screenshot & doing the two-point file transfer, just for a reference image . . .

When someone IRL asks me a question that I don’t feel like answering, I like to just say “hmm“, then say nothing else.
