#lizard lore

For me, sometimes/rarely verbal speech is diffucult in the sense of i Have to Force the Words Out bc i am Too Mentally Drained to Speak.

Like, when it's really bad: simple one to two word sentences.

Au Ra fangs real in my heart

I like the idea that there’d be a lot of variety between tribes/families/individuals (Yugiri’s little angler fish needle teeth being a uniquely Sui-no-Sato thing, for instance)

Other important thoughts:

Finch’s fangs are pretty much only visible when he’s grinning like an idiot

Sid has a nervous habit of pinching his top lip between his huge snaggleteeth and WILL accidentally bite it if startled

are your lizards standing on top of each orther in a flat way like pancakes, or are they standing up? if they are standing up, and we would take an average lizard length of 9 inches (without the tail obv), that would make you nearly 10 feet tall ( nearly 10 metres). however, if they are laying down with a shoulder height of 1,5 inches, you would only be 1,6 feet ( about 50 cm) tall.

do they alternate between the two states? how much control do you have? is it exhausting to stand? can you get smaller in order to chase your arch enemies through small spaces? can you get really tall to impose fear onto them when you've got them? god I have so many questions!

They are all standing up but you have to remember that some lizards are the legs and the arms, it is not a purely vertical stack, resulting in us having a much more average height. Sometimes a lizard will lie flat like a pancake because it is tired (*sideyeing 4 and 9 here) which messes with our height and is very inconvenient. All of us change roles but some have favorite roles, 2 really really likes being the right hand.

We have only slightly less coordination than an average human. Whoever is the head gets to make decisions for our human persona (usually 10 or 13).

We do get really tall to intimidate enemies, but when hunting something down, it is easier to simply abandon the trenchcoat all together and chase it on all fours as 13 individual lizards with a common goal.

Here is some art by @trainwreckgenerator to help explain the concept

Bad news: it's werewolf season.

GOOD NEWS!!!: i have 2 days of work scheduled for thus week!! (Which is better than not even being scheduled for 8 days///honestly with this treatment i should just quit But i cant bc i need income :( Anyway)

More Good News!: i brought my car to a mechanic to get the alarm shut off and an overall system check.

And halfway through i had difficulty talking and debated real hard about using my aac.

But like i could never get a workers attention, enough to use my aac, besides eye contact before they walked away

So i ended up staying longer and just systematically going down the isles to find what i needed,
