As my inaugural post, I want to put my reference for Damianos & Conri up front and center! I'll be adding all the fun details below the cut if you're curious about their story. If you don't want spoilers and just want to read about them as I post, then you check out Lab Rat!
I plan on having a heavy focus on petplay, dehumanization, and our poor rat fighting against his happy ending with everything he's got in him! It'll be fun, I hope.
I ALMOST FORGOT... Dami's entire name is a big stupid joke and I think I'm VERY funny. "To tame" for his first name and then the second is from wolfsbane. So, "to tame and destroy the wolf" and his floret's name used to be Wulf (and is NOW "wolf king").
Damianos Lycoctinum || 2nd Bloom || he/him
Age: ~175 years old
Height: ~15 ft (4.6 m)
Damianos is a naive, impulsive, and easily distracted young bloom more or less drifting through the galaxy alongside his two teachers until he ends up meeting (then) OCNI researcher Louisa Wulf. From there, he has a lot of growing up to do in a short amount of time to prove he's capable of caring for his beloved feral Terran.
The plant he's uplifted from is a predatory species native to a very distant planet within the Milky Way. It's blooms release a tantalizing sweet scent ("It's like vanilla on steroids!") to draw in prey, which is then captured by the sticky sap on its bristled vines. This trait is one Damianos carries into his life as an Affini.
He's a very clingy, cuddly guy, and (in his opinion) the best place for Conri to be is inside his chest cavity, cuddling his core.
Relatedly, Damianos (like many Affini) has a pretty strong prey drive he channels into smothering wonderfully adorable little sophonts!
Damianos's preliminary research while approaching Terran space showed that Terrans have very strong associations with these fuzzy xenos called "cats." He decided that, clearly, taking a familiar and beloved shape would better facilitate bonding behavior. So, Damianos decided to create a shape somewhere between man and cat for maximum cuddle potential and familiarity! There could never be any issues with this choice... Don't worry about the teeth! It's fine!
Phytotoxin Effects: A tingling or burning sensation where it contacts the body (even when injected or inhaled), often causes erratic heart palpitations, muscle paralysis, and profound euphoria. ("It makes my little petal's heart skip a beat~")
Conri Lycoctinum (nee Louisa Wulf) || 1st floret - 2nd iteration || he/him (with a splash of it/its)
Age: 28-ish
Height: 5'7" (1.7 m)
As Dr. Louisa Wulf.... Conri is a bit rough around the edges, as it goes. When we first meet him, he's brooding, paranoid, aggressive, downright murderous, and all together a pretty horrible person prone to lashing out at the drop of a hat. A lifetime of abuse for (then undiagnosed) autism, self-loathing due to dysphoria, and being trapped in a floating tin can in the void of space with people who hate you does unspeakable things to one's psyche. And, at least at the start, Conri sees no reason to improve himself for people he feels "deserve" to suffer his ire.
Even after recovery from his lifetime in the Accord, Conri is pretty avoidant and asocial as far as florets go. He loathes surprise touch, rarely speaks to strangers, and is generally content being alone with Damianos and their horde of rats. Which, frankly, is fine with Damianos. Conri does, of course, get a lot of socialization time (against his will), and Damianos is sure to keep on eye on Conri's interpersonal relationships to make sure his needs are met. He's just sort of grumpy by default.
Modifications: Post implantation, Conri gets a fully customized phytotech body and is digitized via overgrowth (against his knowledge & will but that hardly matters for a floret). He has a vomeralnasal organ, an animalistic body, and generally improved physicality from before. At least, enough to make fun prey for his Affini's games...
Iteration? Think of it as Conri's personal "bloom count" for each body he's inhabited. Damianos plans to essentially craft a bespoke art piece of a body for his floret each time he blooms and transfer Conri to it. What happened to the first iteration? Well, it maybe got a little smashed up by a certain over-enthusiastic Affini. Don't, uh, don't worry about it... Conri would rate it a "10/10 experience, would do again"
Overgrowth: Conri's haustorum overgrowth is entirely benign and intentional. It serves as an additional erogenous zone and the closure for his collar. The flower at his nape is visually based on the Hydrangea and Edelweiss flowers, representing "Gratitude for being understood, Frigidity and Heartlessness" and "Courage and Devotion" respectively. Both of which are meant to symbolize Conri himself, as well as his feelings towards his Master.
Xenodrugs: As far as it goes, Conri loathes Class-A's, but has become very partial to L's and P's for fun. He is, however, on quite the cocktail of E's, D's, and F's for his health.

A happy pride month to everyone from both Damianos and Conri ♡
I know everything is... fucking miserable and we're watching so many rights get stripped away and endangered every day. But I want to take this time, this month, to reiterate the need to love loudly and love proudly. We deserve equality. We deserve rights. We deserve to live and love and experience life as much as anyone else.
Human Domestication Guide is a setting that I love a lot! It's a sandbox where I can be myself and explore feelings and fantasies I can't anywhere else, and it was, frankly, a huge step towards me accepting my own transness and my own therianthropy. As such, it's so important to me and I wanted to celebrate pride month with the community! So...

Update of the pride piece I'm working on! I want to include the nonbinary flag for my partner, who Dami is loosely based on,,, just need to figure out where I want it. Current thoughts are:
1- Conri's paw prints in paint on Dami's wooden chest plate
Damianos Lycoctinum, 1st2nd bloom, he/him (undecided... but thinking)
Height wise,, Eryngi is ~8 ft tall, Nyla, Millie, Victoria, and Angio are all ~10 ft, Cirsi is ~11 ft, and Dami is ~15 ft. Nyla probably has a lot of mass packed into his cables. They just like to keep it compact.
I also may be changing up some character's pronouns, namely Nyla and Angio just to keep everyone with a "unique set" to be easier on me as I write LOL.
Update! I have finished Nyla & Cirsi. Cirsi came out way more.. uh yveltal than anticipated, but that's okay. I like how fae look and it'll be fine LMAO.
But I am super happy with Nyla! I also did decided on new pronouns for Nyla. Ad uses [ad/min/mins/tor]! Ad looks fantastic and basically exactly how I wanted. Mins cane is based on some pictures I saw of ants burrowing into flowers? I imagine the tip has an injector in it. If ad uses it for mins florets or against other affini... well I guess you could as min to find out. ;3
"The best part of Master to cuddle? His core, most definitely. But if I want to be able to walk on my own after, then I'd pick His tail. It's very big and fluffy. Good place for afternoon naps."

Master shifted, leaves and vines whispering with each movement. Then a stack of documents was dropped onto the dirt in front of Conri. His right arm was dragged from under his torso and out by a thorned vine coiled tightly around his limb. The thorn at the tip of the vine dug into the soft flesh on the pad of Conri's pointer finger. He yipped at the stinging pain.
(For some notes, the flat version, and close ups see below the cut!]
🐀 So, firstly, this is of a scene way later in Lab Rat. Sort of the penultimate scene where Conri is "officially" domesticated with the contract and everything. After a hunt through through the area our intrepid duo will be spending a lot of time doing environmental resoration/bonding, Damianos pins Conri down and has the poor guy read out his contract and "sign" (with a bloody finger print) for each term. All while filling his floret with love his phytotoxin, of course. Something that, again as of right now in drafting, is a first for Damianos mostly due to its effects.
🌸Within the story, as I have everything plotted out, it is a sex scene (for a few specific purposes I touch on in that chapter's notes). For the sake of illustration and visual clarity, though, I did remove the relevant grafts and bits. I think it would've
1- made it so I can't actually post the image here (as is I think this is pushing it for tumblr LOL)
2- been way less... clear? on what was happening. Like Basically totally unable to see Conri at all. When I do want him visible.
🐀This is ~27 layers! I wanted to CRY; I'm so happy I'm done, but it's been fun to work on.
🌸Something I do in illustrations I'm putting more time into is vary up the flower colors in Dami's mane & tail. In quicker doodles, I just slap em all with his standard purple. But for more in depth illustrations, I try to vary them up to cover more of the colors Wolfsbane can be. "Canonically" his flowers are all different shades of purple/lilac/white like in those drawings. It just takes forever, so I cheat a bit for quicker stuff
-----
Firstly, the flat color. Nothing particularly special, I think... But some details are more visible this way! And on to the closeups!!
Conri is drugged out of his ever loving mind on Damianos's phytotoxin in this scene. Poor guy can barely string the words on his contract together. He's so dosed up, it's starting to impact his eye color and bodily fluids. I actually originally colored Conri's eyes hazel, but did a sort of smudgey purple layer over top, which ended up taking over the color more than anticipated, but that's okay.
He has stretch marks!! I added these a bit of a treat to myself (I have stretch marks), but also because by this point in the story.. Conri has gained a decent amount of weight relatively quickly!
Finally; Dami's face. I just really like how it came out. Very glowy, very eye catching~ He could probably hypnotize me!

"Does your floret ever say something just So CuTe that you need to DeVoUr ThEm ,ahem, cuddle them with your core FoReVeR?!"
-Damianos Lycoctinum, 2nd bloom
[ Get a squeak peek at a rough draft from "Lab Rat" below the cut]
"No. No, I'm not- I'm not calling you Master." And, oh, by the Everbloom hearing the word leave her mouth had Damianos near euphoric. He surged forward and wrapped his paws around her tiny body, mask pressed to her soft, squishy little face.
Again. Say it again.
"Oh, but you will, darling~ You just did!" He was purring. His /Pleasure-Demand of a Floret-Anticipation/ physically vibrating through his entire body and rattling faux vocal chords without much conscious input. "Say it again."
"Master—" Damianos's purr escalated into a thunderous growl and his face plates began to separate as he pulled his pet closer. /Good girl-Reward-Praise-Love-Adoration-Craving/ was suffocating his own thought processes, let alone Louisa's. The little creature went limp in his grip, whimpering incoherently and scrabbling at his wooden chest.
"Again."
Inside. Take her, claim her, protect her.
"M-master!"
Yeessss. Yes. Mine. My floret. My pet. Mine. Mine.
"See, WaS thAT sO hArD~?" His voice was unsteady, loosing its already loose semblances of Terran intonations as his excitement grew. Louisa quivered like a cornered rat in his grip. Her breath was coming in fast and unsteady, eyes unfocused, temperature and heartbeat rising. Pre-uplift instincts were clawing their way to the front of his processing. "i ShOuLd GiVe YoU a TrEaT fOr BeInG sO gOoD!"
