On Vertumna you can just say "fungi" to refer to all life instead of "plants, animals and fungi" like on Earth, and if you want to be similarly more specific, I guess you'd say "plants, xenos and other fungi"
(Continuing the thought of this post... I will try to expand on this later)
setting a world record for plant metaphors, similes and treating them as characters with emotions and needs just like humans in this fanfiction I am writing, maybe even for written stories in general where plants are not treated as alien life forms, or as monsters, or as something talked of only in abstract words, but as beings in many ways comparable to humans with agency, acknowledging how much they can personally support you
I guess this is why someone here keeps thinking of Cal when looking at my blog :D
nothing better than working alongside him in the fields or sitting in the garden...
I was toying around with the exocolonist overworld sprite style a bit today to keep busy between student questions. this made for a fun comparison. the Ozzy sprite on the left I made last December. where the one on the right is from today.
soo... cracking this bad boy outta the hiatus hole. first things first, heya! turns out i wasn't really "i" and it's a "we" now.
second, it's nice to meet you all, m'the host of our system and have been feeling pretty nostalgic for the game, so decided to come on back.
third! i was talking with someone in the finji discord server, in the exocolonist channel, and we were talking about the wish to have a roleplay server for exocolonist. we have some background with server making, so why not try to make that wish into a reality.
be the change you wanna see in the world, right?
so, before we do anything of that sort... i wanna do an interest poll.
if we were to open up an exocolonist rp server, would you be interested in joining? and if so, what kind of server would you want?
no thanks!
i would be interested for an exo oc only rp server
i would be interested in an canon characters only rp server
i would be interested in a server with both exo ocs and canon characters
i would be interested no matter what it ends up being

i started this as part of a "Draw Your OC's Hairstyles" meme for Mags, but i wasn't really happy with half of the sketches for that. so i played around with the sketches i liked
with art fight finished I'm going to be trickling out some of the art I've been sitting on from it. this was an attack for @endozoic of their OC Mel
One way that the game makes me feel understood is when after your father dies Dr. Instance will try to console you by giving a reason why his death was at least not meaningless, that it will be able to save lives in the future.
And instead of just expecting you to feel better after that, or even just giving you the binary options "You feel good/still bad" there are a bunch more options, and one of them is "You feel numb".
And when you pick it, she just says "It's okay to feel that way", in a way that can seem unusually understanding for her, although still not like much.
But actually I think I never felt so understood and accepted about feeling nothing (and I do this a lot in my life), no guilt-tripping, no shaming that I should feel sad, no awkward attempts to force me to feel better, no desperation in her answer or overly apologetic words that would make me feel like I am doing something wrong. Just letting me be the way I am and not trying to push me in any direction.
It's been over a year since that encounter, I only have had it once at this point, and I haven't forgotten anything about it.
Also not how Cal actually managed to lift me up with his words and love shortly after, the words he speaks after it in Geoponics over how he misses him, too, and how after I gifted him a cake he talks about finding someone to make him happy and I could tell him "You already make me happy" which is the truest thing I could have said at that point.
Shortly after, the secret admirer thing happened and I realized I really wasn't as alone as I thought I would be.
Then I realized none of that is likely to happen the next life, when Tammy is around again and I felt despair wash over me that I had never felt before from a story and it's what inspired me to start a fanfiction that I have now I think been writing for exactly one year today, as consistently as I have never written anything in my life, with the longest break being two weeks in February when I had a lot of things in my life distracting me.
