Thank you again for the interactions, love and reskeets all!

This one wen’t dark in a bad way! Hopefully the next installment can be lighter:)

Nah, my uncle had a #piranha, it wasn’t all that bad, I though have a serpent now, and the breeder warned me she can mistake my fingers for feed when I’m feeding her…. Djeepers!

Partly your fault for the continuation, the wottober prompt «damane» brought it dark fast lol

Clint’s reptiles I love too! I’m infatuated by his ability to be so enthusiastic! He’s absolutely adorable!

Dav Kaufman I’ve watched on and off too! They are all great!

She enjoys curling up on the fake plant. I’m amazed its leaves support her, but then again she’s probably not even 50 grams yet!

She’s curious, sniffing around the terrarium every now and again. Before curling up on the plant, or in one of the bark-hides she likes better than the ceramic hide…

A white with red spots corn snake. Curled up on the leaf of a fake plant. Her head is hanging down, as she sniffs the air around her. She’s curled at least three times around herself,

Between watching reptile channels, like «snake discovery», «Brian Barczyk», «green room pythons» and «wickens wicked reptiles» of late, I’m also watching more or less all reactions of Wicked part 1, I think I’m ready for Wicked: For Good now!

And Z’Hera is acclimatising:) tomorrow is feeding day…

In a dark continuation of yesterdays High School drama… here comes the next part of Antoni’s twisted mind!

Prompts and full text in alt!

A continuation, of sorts.
«you’ve got a disgusting #taste Ant!» Chase said, after Antoni explained his plan: «we’ll collar the secretary, walk her like a #damane from that Wheel of Time show! That’ll be #sweet!»

They donned masks before cornering her. «do as we say, or we’ll drop you into a #piranha tank! Now, down on all fours!»

Chase saw the #hope die in her eyes when Ant degraded her. She yelled «accursed vessel bastard child!» before he gagged her. «There there, pet, don’t #fret, be a good girl.» Antoni said.

Eyes #haunted, no #lumen left, as she was dragged on all fours along the ground towards the front door, in front of which ms. Hall was welcoming the visitor.

I continued on from yesterdays story… it went dark! Fast! The collection of prompts I use had a dark tone today lol

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 22h

Oh this took my already dark story even further into nightmare territory..,

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 1d

Oh dear! That #haunted look in her eyes. It fits too perfectly! ♥️

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 1d

Though I’ll need to use damane… that might get quite derogatory! lol

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 1d

This will probably get a sequel tomorrow… we’ll see where the prompts take us! Thanks for the love, interactions and reskeets folks! ♥️

Watching a veritaseum video about network theory and degrees of seperation…

Through one connection I’ve personally had (he’s passed on now) he met the Queen multiple times, and the now King of the UK. They are thus 2 links away, and they have met so many people… so… I’m like 3 links from most HOS!

I tried a commission, at the end miscommunication and a poor result left me broke and not willing to continue, the temporary cover I made myself stuck, despite it not being my actual vision… oh well., my sister is currently attempting to hand draw a cover for the up inning one tho.. we’ll see:)

The Visitor
The head stood in a tight #raincoat, scouting the students before her gaze landed on Antoni. She took the mic. «Students. Today we will #welcome an important #visitor. You are to take to your #knee and show respect. I will see no #giddiness today.» ms. Hall said, looking out over the morning assembly

«That means,» she continued, «you will not #unearth ungodly things, no #music, and for goodness sake: not another #opium #pageant like last year. This investor will determine if we exist at all next semester, so do behave!»

In the back, Antoni looked slyly at Chase: «This is going to be epic!»
«Yeah, it’ll be #sublime» Chase replied. Their scheming had begun…

As always, thanks to all who like, interact and reskeet!

♥️

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 2d

She is. And soo long! And thin! Love her colouring, that’s why I chose her! But she’s inquisitive and curious! Though, probably tired from 8 hours in a box today - a moving box, bumpy roads and whatnot. She was secure, but probably still felt every jolt and bump!

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 2d

Welcome to Z’Hera, the newest creature to inhabit my realm! Now she has tucked herself into her main hide, and will be allowed to get comfortable a few days:) she’s got plenty of hiding spots, so I hope she’ll thrive here until å can move her into the big enclosure!

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 2d

She’s picked up. And I got to hold her, she’s so tiny! Now for the six hour drive home…

Got to hold an adult too? So awesome? Amazing creatures! And so nice!

Mum might never vist me again though… and hopefully my nephew will never learn to be wary of such creatures!

Oh, shyte, not chapter one, this would fit probably in ch 5 or 6… in a «lost world» type realm…

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 2d

We’ll see. The book islands for sometime in the winter. I need to redo a few things before I ship it off to the editor. So:) maybe a scene like this finds its way in… the tie in novel is coming first though, tentatively November 12th or thereabouts:) lol

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 2d

A snippet from Paolo or Amir here, from «Earth’s Hidden Realms» ch 1 a scene that could fit in one of the realms…

A side adventure

Through the #cascading waterfall he could see strange cat-like creatures, but with #leathery scales, reminding him of the #Torm from a book he knew well; A weird #evolution at ready!

Rather #fatigued he felt a strange #verve as he ventured on. His #prize awaited still. Avoiding the creatures he ventured into a cave where he found what he could only describe as an #exquisite #corps.

A beautiful creature seeming almost like glass laying serenely on a stone slab. Something someone could write a whole #oeuvre about! But something strange seemed to happen, almost as the corps was changing. Maybe to become one of the #torms?

A small cornsnake:) unlike in Britain where we can get them in most pet store, here it’s usually only from breeders. The pets store barely have the stuff you need to keep ‘em. Until a few years ago it wasn’t allowed to keep such here.. so that’s prob why:)

Chris E. Sol @telaranrhiod.bsky.social · 3d

Off to pick up my new pet :)
