All in all, you manage to capture alien ethereality incredibly well...in a way that makes me want to give LongJohn a hug

Thank you!

There is no lore post, but there is lore attached, or at least musing! And wanting to hug LongJohn seems to be a common reaction (I too would like to hug him).

I made a little super self-indulgent AU to go along with the design, which is canon divergent from episode 20! LongJohn is the full KiY, successfully absorbed but then it decided that being John was pretty neat and it wanted to go back to that. Begging to be let back into Arthur's head, being allowed, and doing a better job of fitting them together. Though he did have to eat Arthur's sleep to make it work (there is dream-logic to this).

Worked a bit on my oldish aliens (first thought up in uh, 2012-2013). I never really settled on a design for them tho they’ve always been inspired by bears.

I wanted them to like, not be too different from terrestrial life because that is difficult and I already get stuck on details. :D

But then I remember that I have pectus excavatum and a ribcage that can't even handle the elastic of a bra without being painful.
