ROSWELL MENTION?? I’d never pass up the chance to ramble about this bathrobe 🖤

Phone/Laptop:

Ros’ tech is strictly for business: freshly replaced screens and undecorated black/space gray exterior (matching on both devices, of course).

All the apps/files are unlabeled and stored away from potential onlookers. The vast majority are some kind of homemade MIB tech Scarberry cooked up: everything from hacking modules to airspace maps to clocks on galactic standard time.

There’s some classic surf rock, 50s hits, and jazz downloaded, but only like 6 songs in total.

Occasionally, he’ll change his wallpaper to a neat flower or insect he’s seen recently.

None of his contacts have photos.

Car:

That old black Cadillac is ALWAYS in top shape. The outside’s polished like a mirror and the faux-leather interior is always spotless: though the new car smell has long been replaced with his own strange metallic aroma.

The glove box is full of well-organized papers: some blank, many with forged arrest warrants and government documents. Plenty of dubious ID cards, too.

Secret hatches under and beside the seats: there’s always specimen jars, nets, handcuffs with too many wrist holes, spare parts, and at least one huge gun—that one’s especially well hidden.

The trunk is strangely durable.

Backpack (Suitcase, in his case)

There’s a surprising number of trinkets: apple seeds, dried flowers, vintage toys, maybe a skinny comic book.

There’s a space packed with gadgets that his phone and computer can’t take over: but there’s a large circular space that’s about the size and shape of his hat.

i think we as a society need to use cell phones/laptops/cars/backpacks to flesh out characters

It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.

SUSSS!!!! love the composition and colours so much, thanks for giving my boy so much attention 🩵🧡

amongi love (artfight attack) for KittyDoesAThing & @seasalticid 🧡💙

ah,, a simpler time

the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

heehee timby

Timbo is a strange, squirrelly guy who avoids company: unless you can somehow tolerate his absurd ramblings. Then, he’s the most loyal friend you could possibly have. Though he started out a math prodigy, he burnt out quick and watched his parents abandon him—definitely evidence of a sabotage. Nowadays he hunts for UFOs in the skies over Picnic and diligently scours for evidence of his unified theory: all in the hopes that he’ll finally be listened to again. Our fine foil-hatted friend’s adventures will be detailed on my sideblog @shadowsoverpicnic :)

(Trying to catch this account up with my Instagram one, don’t mind me)

thank you, adding these to my wardrobe as we speak

AHHH thanks sweaty, you’re all I have on this site💚💚

Roswell and his siblings find themselves in what HQ calls “a situation”. Rolls off the tongue better than “Virrid Terrortoma escaping containment”.

SoP Lore:

i keep thinking all the mars rovers are the size of a medium dog but i am wrong every single time

after histology, this rings more true than ever

hurr hurr I'm a human body hurr hurr I'm gonna solve all my problems using mucus

My boy Cyril, who emerged from an among us roleplay somehow. He’s a competent microbiologist tasked with handling the impostor problem, though he really isn’t used to space travel and the looming possibility of death… he is also very very smitten over an amogus cowboy yeah that happened

Extended bio here (might as well shoot my shot)

kinda directionless for my own retrofuture content, but I know for a fact these are the horrendous recalled products of that time period

I love predictions of the future that oscillate between "eerily prescient" and "what the hell are you talking about?" Like that description of the year 2,000 written in 1933 where the author predicts flatscreen television, the glass wall trend in the homes of the wealthy, and the obsolescence of stuffed mattresses, but is also convinced that normal showers will be replaced by a device called the VAPOR LANCE that VAPORIZES the DIRT on you

Happy (belated) Halloween! Drew the boys as cryptids to send off the spooky season 🐺🦋

finally, a realistic simulation of mesozoic combat

if the video game industry were a just place this would be the best selling game of all time

incredibly funny that this guy is a senior gameplay animator at sucker punch like… you can literally see the ghost of tsushima in this…………

commission them or I will bite your toes in the night

The vexatious, venomous vixen herself:

Stanley was probably my first modern OC, an ambitious roboticist whose curiosity (and perhaps a longing for constant improvement coupled with intrinsic self-doubt) gets him into trouble! What a silly lad!

Bonnie succumbs to entropy.

Freddy, these edibles ain’t shi- 💥

I couldn’t have been the only one who saw them

they are like beautiful tropical birds to me

Assorted commissions I did for my mutuals over on Instagram. They’re still open, so if you want to snag some of your own, my commission page is here!

Top left: Esmerelda by @kittydoesathing , a fan character for my Maze universe. A lovely crusty granny who may or may not tell you your innermost fears while taking all the gold off your person.

Top right: Margaret by @ san.deeartist, adorable farm gal at odds with a mysterious tower. Don’t try confusing her with time paradoxes, she knows the answers from experience.

The huge one: Tobias by @ dashtealofficial, a turquoise titan of industry keen on greening a dying world, no matter the cost. He’s holding a bittersweet keepsake left behind by someone close.

male mantises are such bimbos I saw this guy miss a bee, then very confidently take a bite of the goldenrod buds he caught instead

I would LOVE to be her

I think the only person I've met in real life with 100% career satisfaction was this gal I knew who was a presenter at a children's science museum and delivered every line like she was running a WWE match. Every time you passed the room where she was giving a presentation, you'd hear something like "WHO'S READY FOR CEPHALOPODS?!?" and the kids would go absolutely nuts cheering.
