In a world menaced by an invasive insectoid species, the best bet to stop the encroaching Hivelands from turning the Overside into a barren wasteland is a group of horny weirdos. Ain't that just the way.
ORIGINAL TEXT: Okay, some background.
For some time now, I've been working on a new original work. Borne of me realizing that I had a lot of adopted characters sitting around that I wasn't doing anything with and a desire to make Hornier Art, I started workshopping a fantasy story using these adopted OCs. What started out as "excuse plot to facilitate a bunch of fantasy sex and violence" eventually spiraled, as it often does with me, into backstories, worldbuilding, character arcs, narrative themes, etc etc you get the point.
While I do want to work on a larger piece that tells a grander story, I've started by writing some short 4 to 8 page scenes intended to introduce characters, concepts, and just establish the world's status quo. I've been posting these pieces over on my Bluesky along with writer commentary discussing what each piece is meant to explore or accomplish, what the process of creating each one was like, and challenges faced in constructing the events in the scene.
Below the cut I'll be linking all the scenes I've written so far, plus brief introductions to the characters. I'll keep this list updated as I write more and will also include links to the commentary thread on Bluesky for each one that has one.
The current scenes, in order of completion:

Companionship: An Interlude
Our cast of weirdos:
Tira Masca, axe-wielding horsekin. Somewhat prone to injury and, on occasion, death. Seems weirdly fine with it. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Zadak Vintasal, haughty elemental mage dragonkin. Doesn't like it when you call his brat routine a "brat routine," but also possible that's part of the bit. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Avalon Loch, pugilist shadowkin. Hailing from the Underside, has impressive physical capabilities but lacks confidence in himself. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Xora Kordov, healer dragonkin. Prodigy in healing and resurrective magics, mostly due to the questionably ethical experiments she's performed in the past. Original design adopted from @sugaryrainbow.

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
the theories get even more egregious during the imperial era, with people straight up thinking she joined the rebellion in secret and is loading her songs with subliminal rebel propaganda. their main piece of evidence for this is if you play a certain song backwards, it sounds like she’s saying “freedom” in shyriiwook. the fans get really defensive if you point out she’s performed at the yearly empire day celebration thrice now and her family historically owned ewok slaves
spiff fans (also known as “spiffies”) insist that the two decommissioned venator-class destroyers spiff purchased, the bad blood and the reputation, are for diplomatic purposes that benefit the rebellion. jedi’lors have concocted theories that she served on both ships during the clone wars and was respectful of every clone that served there, despite her courtship of a gravball player that thrice advocated against the clone veterans being granted natural citizenship
all goofing aside I don't understand the urge to reimagine Tay'lor Allisoarn Spiff as a secret Jedi fighting for the rebellion when the rebel alliance is literally like overflowing with women fighting the empire. Gara and Ke'Cha and Mileu and Halcey are right there. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't like Taylor but why would you hang all your hopes of taking down the empire on her

Isn't Lady Gara a force sensitive?
🪐chirodactylmanisagatewaydrug Follow
Hence why I put her in the list of famous force using women who are in the rebel alliance?
(okay ignore the fact I've put an image in here but this is ops icon)
🪐chirodactylmanisagatewaydrug Follow
#im sure op has this post muted by now but Ur icon is so real op
The icon is because of this post
👤Eelinrmalice-deactivated201X023
btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post
op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik tay'lor spiff is a jedi but like. why is she y'all's only force using rebel icon when there are all these other force users in the rebellion???"
i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across
🪐chirodactylmanisagatewaydrug Follow
Hi OP here I most CERTAINLY DID NOT SAY TAY'LOR SPIFF IS A JEDI???

the problem with writing fantasy is that i have to constantly stop myself from having people say "jesus fucking christ." jesus didn't exist here dammit. i need a fake swear that means the same thing i think
You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.
Flamingos can survive in high altitudes, hypersaline conditions, and caustic lakes.
Source: ‘All flamingo species have evolved to live in some of the planet’s most extreme wetlands, like caustic “soda lakes”, hypersaline lagoons or high-altitude salt flats.’
They can survive water so alkaline it burns human skin.
Source: ‘More than a million lesser flamingos breed in Tanzania’s Lake Natron, for instance, a lake fed by hot springs with water so alkaline that it can strip away human skin (one pioneering flamingo researcher named Leslie Brown spent months in Nairobi General Hospital after burning his legs wading out to observe where the birds nested).’
They can drink water at near-boiling temperatures.
Source: ‘They can drink water at near boiling point to collect freshwater from springs and geysers at lake edges. If no freshwater is available, flamingos can use glands in their head that remove salt, draining it out from their nasal cavity.’
The lakes they inhabit can freeze overnight, and the flamingos can survive once it thaws in the morning.
Source: ‘The birds may seem to epitomize the tropics, but they also live in the Andes, 15,000 feet above sea level, where they rest on lakes that freeze around them overnight.
“You’ll see them sitting there like snowballs, frozen on ice,” Dr. Arengo said. “And as the temperature warms up, they thaw out, fluff themselves up and go about their business.”’
The photo is indeed from Lake Natron, taken by photographer Nick Brandt. The content of the lake chemically preserves animal corpses that die there. You can see more photos of this here.
It is also true that 75% of Lesser Flamingos are hatches on Lake Natron.
Source: ‘The lake’s landscape is surreal and deadly—and made even more bizarre by the fact that it’s the place where nearly 75 percent of the world’s lesser flamingos are born.’
Some species of Flamingo eat cyanobacteria or algae.
Source: ‘Flamingos have very specialised diets. And their food is responsible for their famous pink colouration. The two species in Planet Earth II eat a lot of floating microscopic algae, which contains carotenoid pigments, the same types of chemical that make carrots orange. These pigments turn their feathers pink, orange and red – without them, flamingos would be white.’
