she might not get the chance to stretch them much anymore..

Horizon slouching up to Dad, rubbing her back and looking vexed, saying "Ugh, Dad, sorry to bother you, but that stupid spot in the middle of my back is itching..." Dad looks up from his book with a smile and a, "It's no trouble, Sunny." Below that, rendered in a lot more detail, is Horizon sitting with her wings and elytra spread so that Dad can get in for a good scratch; the focus of the rendering is on her inner wings, which are dark and spangled with little stars (which is speculation on my part, to be clear).

honestly with the way the game's humor is trending i kind of assume this is just going to be a real poster

the meme depicting tiktaalik moving from "their filthy water" to "our blessed ground" and being met with spears, captioned "STOP THEM! 'You missed your chance, pal!' If you see a Horrid Beast evolving, PUSH IT BACK IN," with the Traitorpod drawn over it looking smug.

absolutely correct. the illicit office romance possibly the only thing getting them through the eternal day (also +corrected some coloring errors +pronouns)

the angel of record pulling the angel of corrections down into a kiss. the bioluminescence organs on the backs of corrections' horns have lit up and their wings are buzzing slightly.

same text as the image from the head of the thread, plus The Angel of Corrections' pronouns are given as "she/her (...but takes [status condition] Existential Dread every time)" & the Angel of Record's pronouns are given as "she/her at work, they/them at home"

yo. sid's a real mensch. we connect on a lot of shit you might be surprised on the outside that we do, but i consider him one of the kindest people i know and the fact this sieve calling itself the UK "safety net" is failing at helping him this awfully pisses me off.

victor literally had a dream last night that told him the names/created purposes of our blanksword angelsonas and kudos to his subconscious because these are really good

The Angel of Corrections (victor) and the Angel of Record (me). Corrections is tall and nervous-looking, with horns like a rabbit's ears that have bioluminescent firefly organs on the underside. Record is short and chubby, with three horns like a chameleon's (two on the brow and one on the nose), their face, hands, and apron smeared with drips of various colors of paint. Text reads, "The Angel of Corrections: can magically discern truth from falsehood, not often allowed to speak the truth" + "The Angel of Record: eidetic memory, born to screenprint funky band tees, forced to make propaganda posters."

a lil doodly from a bit ago, just enjoying some vindaloo heehee (spicy)

My sona Cinn, a cinnamon toast crunch alien taur, crying and snotting and drooling. It holds a fork and a plate, eating spicy food with an already upset stomach. Despite this it is smiling and enjoying the food.

the angel of waste disposal haranguing BLANK, drawn in an approximation of animal crossing style. in a text box below she's quoting one of the rude lines from the gamecube version, "Hey! Are you some kind of antisocial freak or something?"
