green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@Jssra huh... I hadn't thought of that, for some reason! and I even have a book that I can do translations from... I'll have to look that up. :D

@Azure @Angle@witches.town *listening intently*

@noelle no problem at all, I think it's awesome! XD

ahahah, I was really not expecting that silly joke post to go Masto-viral. XD

@Leucrotta *sends hopeful thoughtbubbles* :)

@kara@occult.camp omg that's adorable! eeeee

a Mexican Tetra! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_tetra specifically one deriving from the Pachon cave system!

no wait

a fsh

I told it wrong

@Leucrotta you have more than a chance, you have great odds. and you have people who like you and will help, if we can. :) it does sound like you're having a depressive slump, but it will lift, and things will get better. *gentle nosebump*

@Leucrotta barring all the other debates about what sentience is, I'd say the baseline is "can they build complex tools?" (which begs the question "what complex tools would they need to build?" BUT ANYWAY) it'd be difficult to, say, tie two sticks together with vine or sinew with your beak and one foot while standing on the other foot--but not impossible. no wait they weave/build nests all the time. HMMM.

of course "Nar" is already short for Nyarlathotep, because I feel embarrassed about spelling it out every time I take him to the vet. I have no idea what they think it means.

Pooka is "Pookatown" and Nar is "Narcakes." I don't know why. they have other nicknames, but those are the "official" ones. according to me. Spouse doesn't use them, I'm the only one who does, so they're only official for me BUT THEY ARE SO THERE.

@Leucrotta I know right?? even then it was like "wait... why are you making this dinosaur look like a human?? wtf??" and nowdays it's like "OH FUCK YOU, just give them opposable claws and you've got your sentient species right there, don't you EVEN with that flat faced featherless digitigrade bullshit like that's the default" GROWL GROWL SNARL *cough cough* er... sorry. XD

did that thing where I "woke up" several times before Spouse opened the door and let the rampaging meow beasts in to wake me up for real. also apparently in my dreams Pooka is a small female kitten, rather than a largish male senior meow beast, which I find amusing and very cute. dream-Pooka is about the size of a Beanie Baby kitten. XD
