"not the brightest..."

happy mermay. i don't have it in me to do mermaid art every day so i will be sharing Orgono facts instead. Ideally this would be more information that isn't in their tag already but i forget what all i have and have not said, so this will just be whatever comes to my mind.

orgono are siphonophores. they have colonies of specialized zooid that preform different functions of their body. Most notably, their soft and dense connective tissues, the urinary* tract, and organs for temperature regulation. These are notable because they're made up of thousands of colonies of the biofilm, gyrofil. Gryofil can and will reject the body if they do not have the proper conditions.

Because gyrofil is connected to 97% of organic life, the colonies will drift along and attempt to latch onto a new host.

In gestation, most organisms will soak in a pool of bacteria that supports the growth of gyrofil. Native colonies are considered to be the most effective, but in emergencies you can graft other colonies onto a body.

Orgono have some really weird baby making skills. asexual reproduction. Someone gives you sperm, you give egg inside you. Someone gives you egg, you give sperm inside you. Two people put egg and sperm into someone else. many many possibilities. Meg, who was deep into fandom and anime in 2008, takes this and fucking runs with it. She also writes about some earth fandom, usually some sort of "orgono au" where she turns her favorite characters into aliens.

I made tree.
