#sobby ask

me, turning over and slappign my phone incoherently:

my tumblr: okay i'll post this ask in three years. that makes total sense as to what you were wanting me to do

!! hi isa! thx for the ask <33

i love when people comment/talk to me about my sci fi stuff, especially on Flightless Jailbird - over a year of rumination and design have gone into it so far, and i'm not even 1/3 of the way thru the first book (if i can keep it up there's about 3 more fics in the series i have plotted).

in that same sci fi genre i love hearing stuff on Space Oddity, Don't Judge as it's lighthearted and approachable yk? got a wonderful comment pointing out a discrepancy i hadn't noticed the other day and it made me beam- i love when ppl can get in the weeds with me abt the science for a bit.

I was so ecstatic when Flightless Jailbird updated i was over the MOON i've been checking it every day since ai found it (since my friend showed it to me).

anyways yes big descriptions (mostly for Phil) would be GREATLY APPRECIATED i need to draw these fuckers so intensely :]

!!!! it’s moon! (may i call you moon? im callin you moon that’s cute)

big shout out to moon’s mystery friend ai (hello out there thank you for sharing my work)

and okayokay this might be a bit complex because. as a longtime stalker of the Alien Philza tag on ao3 i personally am tired of plain bird alien phil. he needs more bug traits. hc!phil is literally a bug yall

easiest is sneeg bc he’s Just A Guy. scruffy unshaven longer hair. he’s got a litany of scars from Various Things, but the most important one is a starburst-looking healed burn at the back of his neck :)) he’s in a space prison jumpsuit for now. it’s dark blue :)

okay now philza. beetle bird guy. his head is like that of a crow, but the beak’s got an additional pair of mandibles to help manipulate food into mouth and such. he’s got forelimbs/arms that have 4 “fingers” to each hand (3 fingers + 1 thumb like digit)- the limbs are very buglike in makeup (exoskeletal kinda vibe?) but have keratinous nails/talons. he’s got a pair of wings that are partly membranous closer to the body and more feathery further out. dude’s covered in feathers, but beneath that is some solid carapace - if you were to pluck him he’d look way more like a bug. he’s got bird feets, again w talons. philza is also wearing a prison jumpsuit. his is light blue. the difference in jumpsuit may have to do with perceived lethality :))
