Jaadugar boldly asks the question: is the Internet ready to meet Genghis Khan's historic failsons if they're drawn like the Osomatsu boys?

when you are forced to give up personal privacy and emotional boundaries in exchange for mercy from the community, you are essentially giving up individuality and allowing the community to own the right to be an arbiter of your worth. it's extremely dangerous and a form of psychological abuse.

The white-stripe morphs, male & female, act in a way that is stereotypically "masculine" (loud elaborate songs, more aggressive) with tan-stripe morphs, regardless of gonads, acting more "feminine" (nurturing young). Their offspring will be a 50/50 mix of morph & 50/50 mix of male/female.

This Backyard Bird Has a Lot to Teach Us about Sex Variability

White-throated Sparrows demonstrate that traits we usually associate with sex can be influenced by genes that are not on sex chromosomes

scientificamerican.com

"The bird with four (mating) sexes." In Zonotrichia albicollis, tan-striped males seek out white-striped females, while white-striped males court tan-striped females. Morphs are behaviorally "masculine" & "feminine", separate from gonadal sex. (🧑‍🎨: Rebecca Gelernter, @nearbirdstudios.bsky.social )

Oh! And one more thing, this was fun.. at some point we needed a loading screen icon, so I made real clay models of some reliefs and statuary from the game because I didn't know how to 3D model

This game was the first thing I've ever animated, which is why Maya's run cycle looks exactly like the first result if you Google Image search "run cycle". This is also why many scenes are literally just about bouncing balls
