The duality of Ant Nekton is that he named a baby giant alligator ‘Snappy’, tried to name a Polar Bear ‘Barry’, named his pet fish ‘Jeffrey’, but also attempted to name a singing coral ‘Anthozoa Cantus’. Yes it’s kind of a spin on his own name, but both halves of that were meaningful and alluded to important parts to the coral he was trying to name and it could have feasibly worked as a scientific name for the coral. And then he tried to convince a paleontologist to name the giant crocodile she found ‘Antosaurus’

I had a thought. Which I do on occasion. This is another HTTYD thing

I see fanarts of Snotlout with a full beard, which is nice. But I also see the people who acknowledge that he might not actually want that because it’ll make him look like his dad. Which fair, I’m avoiding dying my hair a dark color in case I look in the mirror and panic, thinking it’s my mom

However Snotlout takes pride in his appearance and I’m torn on his stance with facial hair. I like both takes and couldn’t decide what to do for a bit

But I have come to a conclusion, and perhaps a compromise for the people who think he should have a beard and the people who think he shouldn’t.

Mustache.

Not the scraggly little thing he had in the third movie, I mean a Mustache. A big huge mustache he takes pride in, and treats with care. And I’m not thinking of a braided mustache like Fishlegs ends up with, I’m thinking the kind of mustache you’d see a cowboy with.

i totally forgot to post these, but some more older doodles of my next gen OC’s now that I’ve revealed who is who

I am aware that most are of the nekton kiddos. I will duly try to make more of the pirates as well

Sneaks peaks

Slowly figuring the monster nightmare baby out after spending all day yesterday screaming over it

Also, insporation

I have created a biomechanical murderous assassin monster fueled by blood and nightmares to haunt Lemuria’s history. What’s any culture/civilization without a few skeletons in their closet?

I don’t actually have anything to show for it yet, but it’s in my head and I’ll draw a diagram with notes for it one day I swear

I have a question for all the binder wearing people out there. I had a character idea pop up in my head on a walk today, as one does. It was a hypothetical character idea, one I’m not sure I’ll create a character for, but the concept of the character has me turning to all of you who wear binders for assistance/advice.

The character idea was a female character who is a superhero of sorts. The important part is that she has an alternate identity of sorts, what she does in the pastime wasn’t the part I focused on, though it’s probably a superhero. But I saw a post earlier today about transgender superhero’s and the order in which a superhero might come out and it got me thinking about a twist on that.

This character, who is female, that’s important, is trying to hide her identity. But she’s trying to separate them as much as possible to better protect her identity. Like, make it seem so impossible that she’s not that other person. And my first immediate thought was ‘well, what if she wore a binder? make it seem like she’s a guy or is at least not a woman by making her chest flat?’

From what I know about binders, I understand that might not be super realistic since extreme exercise and binders might not be coexistent. However, I am very much not a binder wearing individual, so take that with a grain of salt. I don’t personally know much beyond binders beyond the fact they give a person a flat chest. I’m not an expert or personally knowledgeable which is why I’m asking: is that inappropriate?

Like, is it appropriation of sorts? It’s important that this character is a cis female, there’s no gender situation happening. This would be a cis woman trying to further make it harder for someone to connect her to her alternate persona, and using a binder to do so. It’s not gender affirming care, she’s not using it the way other people who wear binders use them for. She’s just trying to make it harder to trace her alternate persona back to herself by making it seem like they’re actually different genders.

I might be overthinking this but it’s been eating away at me because I am now overwhelmingly curious about what other people might think of the concept. I’m not even sure I’ll make a character with this concept but I have got to know. Would it be inappropriate for a cis woman to wear a binder for alternate identity/superhero reasons? Sincerely, someone who doesn’t wear a binder and would love to know the answer/hear people’s thoughts about this
