be careful promoting unverified fundraisers! happilygeneralhideout/janet cheptoo is a documented scammer profiting off of the genocide by copying a paragraph of nisreen shaheen’s gofundme https://gofund.me/223a4c96
they’ve been running this scam for months now, every time they are terminated they just make a new blog and spam send the exact same ask, and every time their PayPal account is reported they make a new one under a new name. you can use the tumblr search bar to search their previous names “purity sikuku” or “mercy jerop” or “dennis ochieng”

thank you for telling me, ill be more careful from this time onwards, how can I be sure if a plea is verified or not?
MAYA 1b:
Updated Perissopod Body Plans
Here are the new ones

Vs the old ones

The old ones looked a bit samey not really justifying why I was calling them "classes" so I decided to make the body plans of each class more distinct
Since they come from a squid-like ancestor with a radially symmetric body I've made it so that you can gradually see it transition to being more bilateral
Also a few changes to their general anatomy but I'll post updated ref sheets some time later
Some concepts of "trees"on Maya1b

Essentially, all "trees" on this world are structures formed by symbiotic association between algae and a mass of colonial organisms, which has the added benefit of giving them a lot of these "plants" (especially smaller ones) nifty mixotrophic mode of nutrition, a trait pretty beneficial in the ever changing climate of this world
In essence this means, if things get really tough, the "plants" may in fact start becoming mobile and actively start hunting animals, blurring the lines between what constitutes a plant or not
How much of this behavior a plant shows varies from time to time & species to species
Oh this is how they're coloured btw

There's also a whole other story about their reproduction which is modelled after cnidarians and mosses buuuut thats a story for another time
MAYA 1b:
The Planet

The planet that the aliens in this project inhabit is an Uncapped Cryoplanet, it could be understood as an inversion of Earth, a Capped Aquaplanet ie ice on its poles and oceans in the middle
Therefore an Uncapped Cryoplanet has ice along it's equator and frost free oceans & "jungles" at the poles
Such an arrangement is a result of mainly 3 things:
Obliquity: Beyond 54° of axial tilt, the poles receive greater solar input than the equators, Maya 1b has an axial tilt of 70°, such a extreme tilt leads to the formation of permanent ice sheets around the equator
Rotation Rate: The planets rotates slightly faster than Earth (average day around ~ 20 hrs) , which causes a more oblong shape, with higher elevations at the equator and the poles closer to the crust
Continents: The continental arrangement is such that multiple long mountain chains exist along the equator further leading to ice formation
All these things combined together give rise to the odd arrangement of this world
The planet also has much higher eccentricity than Earth, which gives it a more elliptical orbit, that combined with the high axial tilt leads to some extreme seasonal variation across the year
Given the geography of Maya 1b, sophont groups from both Perissopodithera & Artiopodithera evolved separately and independent of one another, each pole is it's own unique biosphere, for long, each pole wasn't even aware of the other's existence and the unique life that it hosted but that would change soon when two brothers venture out from the North Pole to the South, changing the course of history and initiating contact between the two biospheres & their inhabitants......for better or worse
