Hopping on the Vine compilation bandwagon, part 1/?
There's something really appealing about the concept of a spooky cryptid creature becoming weirdly attached to a completely ordinary human person (who probably works in customer service or something)
i learned that the Platypus stands out as one of the most unique and intriguing animals globally, brimming with contradictions and surprising features. Here are some astonishing contradictions and exceptional traits that will surely blow your mind:
It is a mammal, yet it lays eggs. This contrasts with the common expectation that mammals give birth to live young.
It produces milk to nurse its puggles (young platypuses) after hatching, yet it has no nipples. The milk is secreted through pores in the skin, and the puggles lap it up from the mother's belly.
Its digestive system is truly distinct, lacking a stomach and also teeth. Instead, it utilizes gastroliths (small stones) in its gizzard to aid in breaking down food.
Displaying a duck-like bill, a trait typically associated with birds, it's equipped with sensors to detect electrical signals from its prey. This feature is unparalleled among mammals.
The male platypus possesses venomous spurs on its hind legs, reminiscent of a reptilian trait.
Despite its semi-aquatic nature, it boasts webbed feet ideal for swimming like aquatic animals, alongside strong claws suited for burrow-digging for land-based living.
Employing both echolocation (sound-based navigation) and electrolocation (detecting electrical fields generated by muscle contractions in prey), it adeptly hunts underwater. This remarkable ability allows it to hunt without relying on eyes, ears, or smell.
As a monotreme, it has a single opening for the digestive, urinary, and genital organs, whereas in other species these organs are separate.
What a weird animal. It's so weird that it's hilarious that when the first specimen was sent to England about 200 years ago, British scientists initially believed it to be a hoax, suspecting that someone had combined the beak of a duck with the body of an otter or beaver.
I HAVE TO GO, a quick 3-pager about being very anxious at a party.
the oc is named Friday (they/she), and the comic takes place in my original world, Solitaire, a four-realmed system of worlds where all sorts of little guys roam. Friday is a Joker, a sort of creature from the world of Clubs that has a non-human form that is often activated by strong emotion :^)

if you are dealing with extreme heat or even just. moderate heat in your area right now. 80f/26c is when it starts getting toasty for a lot of people. if you are in a heat wave and you have not done yourself the favor of googling fucking "heat exhaustion symptoms" i am shaking you violently right now. look it up. burn the symptoms into your brain. heatstroke is no joke and it can and WILL sneak up on you before you're aware it's even an issue. ohh my god
