Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@JulieSqveakaroo @001zlnv WTF, we have NEVER had a landlord come poking around at the condition of our apartment unless a repair was happening. Maybe I've just been lucky enough to have a very long selection of lazy landlords... (which, actually, kinda checks out in retrospect)

@anthracite @xinjinmeng Thank you again, Peggy, for teaching me the art of "eat a small good thing made of food, instead of a large okay machine excretion created mostly to crowd rival brands off the shelf.'"

@relee So, have you ever seen Pulp Fiction? Basically Enmerkar is the ancient dragon scholar version of the drug dealer friend that Vincent and Jules go to after... the very bad spoilery thing they accidentally do... to get help cleaning up.

Enmerkar is that weird nervous hippie friend of yours standing there with his hands thrust in the pockets of his bathrobe going, "OK, man, but you all better be outta here before my wife gets home," desperately wishing he'd never gotten wrapped up in whatever the hell it is you went and did. :)

@relee Few do! They're my only dragon sona, mostly reserved for interacting with Peg at home.

So... the name "Enmerkar" is taken from an ancient Sumerian king. Enmerkar claims they're from the original Library of Babel... which is true, actually, but they were hatched by the monks who staff it sometime in the late 1500s, from an egg found in their rare artifacts collection.

Incidentally, the version of the Library they're from is the same one from https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content/uploads/sites/226/2015/12/Borges-The-Library-of-Babel.pdf

Basically they're an introverted stoner and scholar/sage, a friendly charlatan who knows a lot about some very sketchy magical and historical subjects but would rather be left out of anything dangerous. This of course makes them a karmic disaster waiting to happen.

One of their quirks: they're asymmetrical, with mismatched horns. They's also distinguished by the absolutely terrible efficacy of their breath weapon. It's acid, but they don't practice with it or exercise their connection to the Elemental Plane Of Low pH very often... so it tends to come out as a dilute spray of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. 🤷

@trouffee @relee You have no idea... (wait, no, this is you, you know EXACTLY...) how close that is to accurate XD

@relee Basically Kirschbaer 2.0 has become Gendo to Kincaid 2.0's Lilith. >:Dc

@porsupah Nope! So remember Crush Yiff Destroy? One of them, I wanna say Agouti Rex, had done a big snarky article about the furry movies that have the biggest appeal to perverts.

Except that Rex had apparently *forgotten the part where they watch the movies*. Because they described "The Devil and Daniel Mouse" as full of spandex and rubber, which I can only assume is because they looked at it and saw "it turns into a rock and roll thing" and just... assumed.

Or they got it confused with Rock and Rule. Either way. Not a shiny asscurve, male or female, to be seen.

@LeDiva Yeah, but I'm one of the Martian ones from that old Brownsville Station track.

@LeDiva You're the equivalent of some soft pop radio station!</randall> 😽

@porsupah Ah, Star Trek V. The *second* biggest disappointment in my career as a furry paraphiliac... 🤔

@relee I've really mostly only been playing with the idea in my head, only a couple of them even have 2.0 concepts yet!

Mainly Kirschbaer (the jelloborg mad science raccoon) and Kincaid so far. I'd try to explain where they're headed but... hmm... are you at all familiar with Neon Genesis Evangelion? O:)

@LeDiva Do they really rip? ​

@relee Yup! It's brand new, just got approved recently! I don't think I'm likely to ever bother with private posts there.

@relee You spotted my cohost, right? (@commonplace)

@Momentrabbit I'd been shy; I could be a lot less shy. Miss you too. Am scouting cohost out. (@commonplace) Will report. <3

@Austin_Dern Exactly. Even the great Tom Perdy doesn't *quite* reach that same awfulness, but I knew you'd get where I was going, yeah. 😽

i did a thing

@Austin_Dern Also, "youth of a person is not a visual thing'" is a *gloriously* awkward phrasing to give this Joke-Like Object ​

@Austin_Dern 🙃

@Owlor Also, those three microfics were all *perfect*. <3
