🤲

fear not i am here <3 i may have posted some of these already so i apologize if i repeat myself BUT she is my pookie and i have thoughts.

- LOVES betty boop. has her alarm clock set to whenever it’s on tv and everyone in the castle can hear her running down the stairs to watch it. if anyone touches the remote while betty boop is on she will ask magenta to kill them

- new wave. send tweet. loves bands like the b52s, oingo boingo, cyndi lauper, etc etc

- has a stuffed animal that she’s emotionally attached to. she’s had it since she was a kid and it has no stuffing in its neck but she refuses to fix it bc that would involve cutting a hole in it to replace the stuffing

- walks on the balls of her feet. also t. rex arms. also flappy hands when she’s excited. **autism.**

- this is more about her and magenta i’m sorry i need to spread the lesbian gospel.. magenta was the one to cut/dye her hair . most homoerotic haircut columbia had ever experienced.

- not cis. i know this in my bones. i agree w basically every gender hc people have for her, my personal take is that she just uses any pronouns and doesn’t care <3

- big big big music lover. always has it playing. like i said earlier she does have a favorite genre but she’ll listen to anything and dance to it in her room :3

- if you ask her about your interests be prepared to sit there for a full hour she will yap into hell and back (/pos this is a good thing in my book. and magentas book she will listen to her allll day)

- she canonically has a poster for beyond the valley of the dolls in her room (do not ask about the lengths i went to to find this out. it was such a journey. a spiritual experience if you will) so i think she loves weird dramatic movies like thattt <33

- trinket fanatic. every time they go shopping she has to buy at least one (1) useless item that looks funky

- rollerskates!! she has really funky skates and loves skating around the castle bc of how much open space she has. she also got magenta to skate with her and magenta was Terrified she held columbias hands so tightly that it hurt <3 (this happened with my girlfriend a week ago she is really good at skating and i was Afraid)

When we take this, we can obtain that 1.) they have no sun, & 2.) they are a species similar to chemoautotrophs as we know it.

What I mean by this is that a lot of people can turn around and say “oh they’re nocturnal!” without acknowledging that “land of night”most likely explores that there is no sun exposure at all. If they were nocturnal, they’d have to sleep in the day— but how would they if there’s no light to begin with!

Chemoautotrophs can be explained with simple google research; an organism that obtain energy by chemosynthesis, using inorganic chemical reactions rather than sunlight. Now, how does this work? For photosynthesis, you need sun for the mixture in order to produce the necessary reactants. Sunlight does not act like a product, but more as photon that drives the entire process. You have the car, you have the fuel, you just need the driver. “Oh but Simon how does this make any sense, humans use respiration not photosynthesis!” Do humans use photosynthesis? No. I’m just putting this out there as an example of how contrasting the concept between humans and transexuals could be as separate species.

Anyhow, chemosynthesis replaces this sunlight with inorganic chemical reactions. The most common type of chemosynthesis is when the organism uses hydrogen sulfide, but there are other types that include methane and hydrogen in an oxidation process (a loss of electrons in an atom during a chemical reaction). The term “land of night” imply’s that the transexuals don’t have natural light. See where I’m getting? If you see (with this cute little diagram I found on facebook), the formulas for photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are quite similar despite their differences!! How cool is that!!

So by using the technique of comparing existing organism systems we already have on earth, we can learn that transexuals can have a totally different orbit on how they naturally operate! They can be entirely different to humans, but somehow adapt similar structures at the same time! Who knows!!! This also means they just pee and probably don’t shit. maybe

REMINDER, this could simply just be how they behave on their planet. This is also probably entirely wrong. We don’t see them go out of the castle at any point other than their disguises, and we can see them eating human food as in an alternative to gaining energy. This can also imply a possible biology-shifting phenomenon that happens in them, either by high level technology of their own or a natural process. The usage of bioluminescent compounds in their everyday environment could be a cool thing to imagine, but we already know that have already accessed the properties of basic fire and agriculture. Thinking about it, it can implement that humans and transexual’s are really similar in innovations— the possibility of “shapeshifting” and blending in with humans so easily can be simply because they already have that knowledge, they’re just millenniums ahead!

ON THE OTHER HAND, RAÚL ESPARZA'S VERSION OF RIFF RAFF.....
