@KawaSeadrake @chalcedony@octodon.social what is "gender lava"?
Johmarik woo
on the gripping hand, changing your species/form is thought of akin to being a spiritual transformation, not something to be undertaken lightly. there's species-specific reasons for this that don't apply to non-Johmarik forms, but holdovers from this are part of why Johmarik are a bit squirrley about changing into other species, even for research/diplomacy purposes.

otoh it's considered rather rude to change your basic coloration/patterns quickly, or too often, as it can make it difficult for other people to recognize you. it's possible, and some do, but it's seen as a bit gauche.

oh. just realized a thing about Where I Come From: changing genders there is fast, easy, and complete, and they aren't sexually dimorphic; it's impossible to tell just by looking what gender a Johmarik might be, which is part of why it's considered incredibly rude to assume someone's gender or to ask. if they want you to know they'll tell you.

@rachel I doubt you're from my homeworld, though you may have had contact with them. if so, can I request a Johmarik form from that world? if not, can I request a custom form as close to that one as possible?
@kara_dreamer@witches.town I already keep a qt-sized bottle of water on my desk at all times--have 2 of them, one's in the fridge while the other's on my desk, as soon as the one on my desk is empty I refill it and trade it for the cold one. today I've gone through 3 of them. so far. not including the water (and juice, and coffee) I had while out volunteering. I am SO HYDRATED I feel like a sponge. o____o
@vahnj that's a very astute question
@kara_dreamer@witches.town @starkatt "oh shit I fit like seven of those vectors, welp"
kinda surprised that "postfurry" wasn't on the vector list, heh.
