#l'da

A lot of Eutermesan culture headcannons and spec bio. It's very wordy I know.

Also mention of medical stuff and needles in the second image. I study Veterinary Nursing so of course my brain immediately went to "how would I take blood from this creature" etc.

No boobs. Not even a swell in the chest where breasts would be if she was a mammal. Some taper in the waist, but no more than you would get in a muscular human male.

What the hell would an exoskeletal lizard humanoid be doing with eyelashes? Or hair? Or the ridges in Eutermesan heads being shaped more like a human lady’s hairstyle?

However, she’s quite hippy, as female lizards and insects lay eggs and female humans have a similar widening on the hips for a similar reason.

Commissioned by sidhebeingbrand: Five illustrations for the fanfiction “How to Make Friends and not Murder People”. As the author sums it up, “once upon a -- well, never mind. Two Eutermesan monks from opposing faiths have a meet cute.”

3. What’s the part of the fic I’m most proud of? -Probably L’da’s slightly agro farmer sister, I think? She’s sort of a jerk, one of those devil’s advocate types who make thanksgiving dinner with the family such a chore, but she’s a good boss and she will fuCKING KiLL yOU if you touch her baby. I had fun brainstorming what aggressive body language would be like with Eutermesans, having her really loudly settle her scales (defensive) instead of cracking her knuckles or anything (preparing for an offensive) 

14. If I were going to write a sequel-I would want to do more of L’da and C’rizz’s courtship, how she talked her family into paying his dowry, how she discovered how deep the obedient blank face went and started to help him assert his own personality (which was based on hers definitely at first but she was so careful to let him disagree with her) . The problem is whenever I daydream about it it always builds up to this terrible ‘and then randomly Kromon the day of their wedding’ and snaps me out of it. It sucks that all their trials are for nothing. 

Speaking of Eutermesans, this story was banging at the side of my brain until I got it out, so-! Have a short account of L'da and C'rizz's super romantic not at all awkward first meeting (no but it was super awkward). Features my attempt to unify all of the conflicting information about Eutermese into one coherent whole.
