OMG, you guys. YOU GUYS!!!!!!
See this nifty octopodal guy? His name is Khrith and he’s one of my very own Original Characters (in an as-yet-unpublished BASEBALL IN SPACE novel).
He’s Europan (from the Jovian moon, Europa), natively a water-breather (but can and does breathe air), and he’s the catcher on the team.
My daughter’s friend @42nights drew him for me and ... and I can’t tell you how fucking excited I am to see him. He’s PERFECT - she got every single little bit of him right and I gave her such a wonky description. He’s exactly the right shape and look and ...
Just look at him, with his four upper tentacles with their grippy flipper ends and his weird creepy face (don’t ask him to smile, it’s ... really unpleasant), and his fascinating, muscular walking tentacles.
His uniform is perfect - she got the mixture of traditional catcher’s uniform (the leg and ‘knee’ pads and the chest protector) and weird outfit to fit an 8 legged dude JUST RIGHT.
I’m so excited to go back to this story now and re-write it and publish it, omg.
THANK YOU NIGHTS, I’M IN LOVE.
