Heya, I'm Peridots (any pronouns, they/it works fine)! Your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast! This is partly an art blog, but be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and all other positive interactions are appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like aren't allowed within about a hundred feet of my blog, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools! (< and i perhaps needed to escape the misha.)

Extras/Misc
i want to add him…
---Quirrel
He/him
Iridoviral Armadillidium vulgare
Traveller, Terrestrial
A pillbug. He's just Quirrel, a friendly adventurer who's good with a nail.
...Maybe keep him away from the bay. And the jellyfish.
Service: None
(jk that's ✨intellectual property✨ and i'll ✨have to ask permission✨)
--History...?
So far, the only known lore regarding this subject is that most vertebrates (currently, Grek and Genni being the only exceptions, as Tan’s host has been dead since the frog went into hiding. The bodies of most other dead organisms have been reduced to bones) have gone extinct some undescribed quantity of time, and many terrestrial bugs have moved to the shores during this (giving a chance to finally reconcile with their amphibious crustacean kin), though nowadays life further inland is no longer uninhabitable. The vertebrate die-off is possibly due to radiation caused by humans inland, as insects such as cockroaches seem to be less negatively affected by it--or this is simply the reason for the invertebrates' migration towards the sea.
--Quests
Reunion (Main Quest, Ceras)
A Meal of Great Elegance (Genni)
Prosthetics (Bem)
Ballad of Copi, which shall go unnamed (i can't think of a real name lol)
Sisters Estranged (Allibel and Sepinti)
Track Down the Beast (Beowi) (the Beast being Genni)
--Dialogue
Fess: Ceras!
F: Come back in soon or else I'm eating all the anemone without you!
Ceras: You wouldn't!
(... (Ceras doesn't come back inside and continues doing Whatever They Doing.))
F (after some time passes): Ceras, I'm serious! The rip current's coming back soon and I don't want you to be caught in it!
C: Alright, fine, in a second!
()
C: ...Did it just get quieter?
: Wait.
: Oh no.
(~rip current time~)
(...)
Lidii: What even is that?
Rantan: Obviously a sea slug, Lidii.
Gorge: Yeah, it's an aeolid nudibranch, Lidii.
Rantan: How--
Lidii: Well, I'm gonna eat it. It's obviously dead, and doesn't seem like either of you want to.
(Ceras arises.)
Lidii: Oh!
Rantan: 'Obviously dead', huh?
(Ceras looks around, the two insects look at them.)
Lidii: ...Is it sentient?
--Soundtrack
(Taranoake Theme)
(Citadell Theme)
Turn Up the Tymbals, Bring On The Beat! (One of Sepinti's themes)
Renin (Renin flashbacks, much more jovial than WfR)
Waiting for Rain (current Renin theme, has Renin's leitmotif, but slower/more melancholy)

Apparently this will have Several Parts Then
I don't have a computer that can handle actually downloading a game and I also don't know if Deltarune Chapter 2 is coming out on the Switch anytime soon so guess I'll just read ALL the spoilers all at once
Reblog because there were too many tags/characters for Tumblr to handle

Characters. (Mortals anyway.)

Just as a note: while it's pretty straightforward on its own, here's more detail on how to navigate my tags (as I've prioritized them mostly for my own use).
-"Peridots-Art" vs "Not My Art": There's always one or the other. Peridots-Art is... pretty obvious (includes digital art, pixel art, written work, etc.) and Not My Art usually refers to reblogs or me just talking about a random subject.
-World Tags: Pretty much always on anything with the Art tag. Can either be a fandom (Bug Fables and Hollow Knight, or WoF for Wings of Fire), or one of my personal worlds (Tonpterus, Mostly Mollusk).
-Character Category: Most posts with the Art tag will either be labeled "Canon", referring to a canon character from a fandom, or "Character", referring to my own characters--whether completely original or a fan-character.
-Specific Characters: Canon characters will have the respective fandom after their name, not always stylized the same as the fandom's tag (e.g. Quirrel HK). Characters of my own creation will only be referred to with their name, regardless of whether they belong to a specific original universe or not.
-Creature Category: Unlike the above three tags, this doesn't always pertain to art. They describe the (currently, only three) categories of species/characters in the post: Humans, Dragons or Bugs. That's all
