Very interesting character design. I like. c:

Thanks!

They better be as tiny as they are in real life.

I told you I drive past those guys about sixteen times a day on the trucks, right?

Yeah. I was thinking about making them about six feet tall maybe. Which would be pretty small.

"These tiny, tiny gazelle over here on the right are Thompson's Gazelles, also affectionately known as 'Tommies.' They may look like itty bitty babies, but they are fully grown at sixty pounds. They can run about fifty miles an hour and those large eyes on the sides of their head help them spot their predators."

Every twenty minutes...

Why don't you mention their soft chin and jowls? It's a distinguishing characteristic.

Is this for a thing? Like, a quest? Could it be?

Maaaaybe. I want to finish two of my ongoing quests first. I still have more work to do as far as background and stuff as well.

Look at that hind end.

You see it's sort of double meaning 'cause it's a rear end but also a hind is a deer.

I just don't have the hart to tell you she's a gazelle.

A Hind-Deer?!

taurs are basically insectile mammalians

I like drawing them even though they are kind of awkward except for in a few positions.

for about a month, when I was like 9, I thought I was a taur

I would try to do everything while being aware of my back pair of legs and I took wide turns around corners and all that jazz and basically decided that being a taur is the most implausible thing

It would make functioning really, really goddamn awkward, yeah. These guys are small compared to the other species, which would mitigate it some, but they're also sort of second class citizens because people aren't going to go out of their way to make things accessible or easy for them, and the common structures aren't really built with taurs in mind. So people are basically like "Sure, you can integrate and become a part of our societies, but we aren't going to go out of our way to accommodate you" and they're mostly like "Ok. It's better than getting eaten by monster."

How did you manage chairs? Or did you always sit on tables or benches?

Haha, that is fantastic. What are these fellows from? Is this another Quest or what there is so much I have to be catching up on >:U

I either sat on benches, or on the floor, my forelegs pulled up like a sitting horse or deer or something, my back legs splayed out (in my head). I'd get angry if anyone stepped on them.

It's nothing to catch up on yet. It's a quest I'm planning, but I've mostly just done all the worldbuilding and basic plot outline and character designs and stuff.

Most of the sapient species were created on accident by the gods just sort of dicking around and being douches, and most of the gods are the product of incestuous rape, so what do you really expect?

Argh that just means I need to catch up to your stuff before you start this one and I am left in the dust like some kind of filter feeder :U hrrrrrrr lookit my long filterwhiskers what are those even called.

That is a perfectly sensational origin tale. "This is our god, Whatwashisname. He knocked over his drink onto some sugar and we crawled out of it. Our Great Creator said "Eww man sick" and knocked us off the Heavenly Table, sending us crashing down to the earth. Now our lives are full of hardship, and we tremble in fear for the day that Whatwashisname discovers us and brings out the RAID."

They are called barbells on catfish. I don't know if that's just a generic name or not. But yeah no it'll probably be a little while. My update speed has also been "slow as shit" so don't feel like I am racing away from you at top maximum speed.

It is sort of like that only with a lot more rape. Like, the original god existed all by himself in the void and he got mad and horny so he raped the void and then murdered it and the earth is made out of the void's corpse the sun crawled out of the earth's dead womb and then he raped the sun and she gave birth to these other gods and more incest and rape happened. I used some random charts to determine the characteristics of the pantheon, and the lead god was an evil god of hunting fertility and love, and most of the other gods ended up being total assholes too. It made it kind of interesting I think.

Apparently wikipedia says they are just baleen. Which is cheap because that's the name of the whale what got them in the first place.

Yeah no, I've said before I am totally into the traditional old-school gods this sounds stellar.

random charts

flip a coin to decide which god gets raped next

Well I basically randomly determined how big of a god they were and how many gods and what each god is the god of and their general disposition. And then I had to weave all of that into some kind of logical creation myth. Normally I really think things through and plan everything meticulously so I tried something else and I think it was pretty fun.

Spontaneous random universe generation sounds exciting~

It was exciting in every possible meaning of the word.

I love reading your responses with your avatar in my head saying them

endlessly chipper and completely enthusiastic about everything in equal proportion, and also .gif teleporting all around the room knocking things over and not even being capable of understanding how socially inappropriate it is being

and with exactly zero respect for personal space

I think that pretty accurately represents how I imagine I'm saying them too.

It's kind of ironic because your icon has creepy stitches, yes, but is very serious and totally straight-laced looking, so I always imagine it saying things in a very calm, collected way that implies authority and education. "No, I am totally legit pony look at how serious I am."

I animated my icon after we started talking because I was actually typing lots of things and I had to make it actually be blabbing them all like I'd always imagined it would constantly blab them. It made the dynamic between the two icons a lot funnier to me.

I would totally stick my wiggly tongue right in those dusty black eye sockets that's how much I respect personal space.

In a perfect world everyone would be their website icons. I think this is arguably the Best of All Possible Worlds Leibniz didn't know what he was saying because he was born before the internet.

I wish I were that composed in real life but I chose a stoat fursona for a reason and that reason is because I am basically exactly one (1) stoat irl. Well no okay maybe I am not that bad I do not flip on the floor and then jump up and run in circles I can behave myself basically pretty much usually.

And be careful about where you stick your tongue my FiM self-insertion isn't called Rustface because of a lack of a tetanis-gifting skull of rust under that rotty pelt there (my FiM self-insertion is called Rustface because its skeleton is made of rusting metal (this is a thing with me (i like rusting metal (I have enough rusted metal to make a carpet with it irl))))

I always imagine people saying things as their icons, I think it makes this place much more hilariously interesting, especially if somebody is arguing vehemently about politics or something and their icon is a crudely scrawled big tittied dragon in bondage or something. Leibniz would agree if he were with us today we both know this. Oh, I saw Kierkegaard drawn as a furry before.

I am sort of loud and demi boisterous in real life but I end up talking about terrible things sometimes and generally being socially inappropriate. Except in a professional or business environment at which time I am composed and professional and all business.

I kind of like how rust tastes though and tetanus is actually carried by animal feces. The reason you get a tetanus shot if you step on a rusty something is because it was in the dirt (you stepped on it) for a while, so it might have animal feces residue on it. Also rusty metal is a very cool design element although I like concrete a lot. I want to live in a concrete house. There is a company called Monolithic that makes concrete domes and I want to get one eventually. They aren't really more expensive than a regular house and non-dome, non concrete houses are for losers.

Was that Latexblue the comic. I think Latexblue had Leibniz and Kierkegaard as furries making out but I can't remember if I am getting them wrong cuz I haven't seen that thing in years. It might have been Kant.

Yes no I am also totally reserved when I need to be I am basically a perfect mix and match just like the noble ermine my colors can change with the seasons and also we are the beasts of royalty did you know that. What do kings and queens wear: bam, ermines. We are literally what makes nobility look noble. So dignified.

I had no idea this is where tetanus comes from. My rust is various bits of screws and washers and scraps of metal moving up to giant hunks of cars and solid rust plates several pounds in weight I love my rust collection. There is no way I could ever get it shipped to Germany so I am leaving it behind in a week I am going to miss it so hard.

That is fantastic. That is basically one step below actually living inside a giant cardboard box, I bet you could even draw on the walls like with a box only using spray-paint instead of markers (keep windows open please do not suffocate (unless this is your fetish (there are still easier ways to go about it))).

Oh god I had to look up "latexblue" no it was not that. It was not that at all. It was actually a classy picture based off of that famous graphite portrait of him only he was a fennec fox I think? I can't manage to find it.

You and the tiny snails they crush to make their capes purple. Being the animal of royalty isn't really a good thing. You realize they have to kill you and peel your tiny bodies like inside out bananas right? I used to skin animals because we did trapping down here and sold hides. You take their whole skin off like a sock! But yes being a blended into the all of everything is certainly great and I can smell your poise and grace through the internets. This is totally not a creepy thing for me to say/do.

Is the rust collection to be abandoned completely forever, or will it be waiting for you one day? That sounds pretty sad, although it will be pretty great when somebody else finds it if it is more of a permanently abandoned thing. You should arrange them in an interesting way before you go. Yeah, I have had to ship things back to America from overseas and it was extremely expensive. :V

I could totally also draw on the walls with markers. But yes, I am really going to do that. And by that I mean live in an awesome concrete dome. I am going to leave the interior walls unfinished concrete too and have minimal windows allowed by law. It will be fucking sweet as all shit! It is basically my life goal. And it's not really all that unmanageable of a goal!

Oh dang, that sounds fantastic.

Well. Well yes okay we kinda need to die first OKAY I guess maybe BUT SO that shouldn't matter really even at all in the slightest whatsoever. All it means is I am an Emperor or something's cloak hopping around in the wild it is still an ermine cloak just without the cloak you see. And I mean hey maybe being peeled like a banana feels nice I am not going to make that kind of judgement without knowing first.

Also you said it is not creepy so obviously it is not creepy why would it be I mean you said.

It is all in a box, I have no idea if I can ship it cuz it would probably knock up to like a hundred bucks, easily, and I have way more important things to ship over first that I'd actually, like, need. They're in a box in my room, though, and there's no nice place nearby to abandon them to be found art or whatever. They'll probably just hang out here with my collection of ~100 year old books until I actually can finally send over for ~trivial~ emotional keepsakes like that.

No this is an entirely acceptable life goal. Having a totally awesome home is exactly awesome, that is why it is awesome. This is math you cannot deny it it is like a law.

Well I suppose that is true I mean if your corpse is noble and revered then certainly the whole intact of you should also be noble and revered. I actually have a few little ermine hides. They are really soft and I can put my fingers in them and make them talk. They were always dead when I skinned them so I don't know, maybe they would have enjoyed it? Peeling off the skin in one piece like that is called "degloving."

Yes you should listen to me when I say things like smelling people through the internet is not creepy.

Yeah, it would probably cost like six billion dollars. I was just shipping light things back and it still cost me around eighty bux or something, of course, that was in the UK, so it's more there probably. Okay well at least they are not lost forever so it's more of a temporary parting.

I find your mathematical analysis to be unimpeachable. I am also only vaguely aware that numbers exist, but still. That certainly sounds like math. I have my blueprints all ready and everything. I just need to generate me some capital. I know that mathematics is the only branch of science defined by rigorous proof, so that basically means it's never wrong.

Oh no! Dead weasel puppets! That is so inglorious and disrespectful it sounds wonderful. To be reduced to such japery!

How does it work do you press your nose against my icon.

I once shipped a computer over and that cost $300. It also broke, although that might have just been an issue with someone flipping the power toggle to the wrong setting when trying to plug in it. I can't imagine how much it would cost to send howevermany pounds of rusted metal I have over. Six billion seems accurate.

Science is basically not up to any interpretation I mean you can grow a plant in a light and a plant in the dark and sometimes the one in the dark might grow faster! But 2+2 always equals 4 and 4+4 always equals 8 unless you are using base 8 which I don't actually believe in, like, religiously. I have had four people in my life try to explain the concept of base Xs to me and I can't understand it so I just believe it doesn't exist.

(I am reverse conversationing because)

I think we only have a base ten counting system because we have ten fingers. I always assume that the base counting system developed by any sapient species is a function of their number of fingers. But even in base 8 4+4 is still 8 basically it just expressed a different way. But the concept is the same.

Yeah, that sounds pretty unsurprising. I blew out the charger for my DS when I was in France, although I don't entirely trust people to safely ship my goods overseas. I don't understand numbers but I feel like my wild guessing is probably totally accurate.

I place the concept of my nose, represented by an actual instance of a nose, against the [/i]concept[/i] of your avatar, represented by an instance of your icon which is totally not the same thing and it works like a charm. Most people on the internet smell like laptop and sneezes for some reason.

Some people tend to not be overly amused when I bring out the finger puppets that are actual animals. There is also a silver fox and an otter. They are more like hand puppets though. soft, fuzzy hand puppets that used to be living animals. Actually, some people are really scared of them. Actually most people are scared of the ermine hands, where I just stick one on each finger and wiggle them all around. They feel something soft on the back of their neck and they're like "OH THAT MUST BE AN ADORABLE KITTY" and then they turn around and it is not. Not at all.

I actually haven't done that in a long time, on reflection. I wonder how they're doing in their cedar chest.

Way I heard it is that in base 8, 4+4 = 10. And then 10+8 = 20? I literally just. No idea. My brain shuts off trying to hear it explained.

I am gonna get a power convertor, you can get little things you plug into plugs to plug plugs into the plugged plugs and that converts the power voltage thing to the American equivalent. I am probably gonna have a few of those for stuff.

That makes sense. My pony avatar probably smells like a dusty, long-rotted corpse, with a hint of autumn leaves because she fills out her collapsed body cavities with them.

Ermine hands sounds the best thing. Ever. In my life. I'd want ermine hands but I'm already an ermine so it would be so redundant. I saw a special on body farms, where they let bodies decompose for forensic testing, and the way of getting fingerprints off corpses they had was to literally deglove the skin off the hand, wear the skin-glove, and take fingerprints off it. I think ermine hands would basically be the weasel equivalent of doing that but skipping the fingerprinting stage and going right to the being creepy part.

If you had ermine hands it would be like a recursive fractally thing because your fingers would be tiny ermines and maybe theirs would too? Or you could wear their same sized hands as gloves too. I think I saw that same special? I want to say I did. Doing the same thing for the purpose of being creepy is tots legit, though.

Mulch, metal, slightly mildewed hide is more what I was thinking. I don't know why I was also thinking decomposing leaves. Probably because smelling people through the internet is totally factually accurate statement and completely legit.

Yeah, I had a plug converter thing, and for laptops they have built in converters basically and so do razors and other assorted things, so I sort of figured the DS would be fine but that was a completely inaccurate thought for me to have.

Yeah well math is basically confusing I guess. Unless you are doing binary conversions it sort of doesn't make sense to count by base 8 in our written base 10 number system because the whole idea is that numbers change in clusters of 8 instead of 10.

The mildew might be from the heavy rain yesterday.

Or the heavy burtation.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5686463/ is everything but three of the species (because they're seekrit) and there are random porns and arts for some of them floating around nearby. The nice thing about having lots of mythology and direct involvement of gods is I can do completely biologically implausible and impractical designs for the species (and not feel bad).
