Don’t expect much chitchat from him. The Capitol cut out his tongue years ago.
WHY DID IT NEVER OCCUR TO ME THAT AVOXES MIGHT USE ASL TO COMMUNICATE?
when i saw this in the movies i very nearly cried, no lie. it is so important to see these things in media. too often they are left out
I caught Castor’s ‘Yes’ and meant to look up what Pollux was saying. Well done, movie, AWESOME idea!

This…? No, barbarian, my sword is not magic. It is merely the instrument through which I… channel my divine powers as the… high priestess of… of Bullshittery!

Anonymous asked: What’s the difference between something being a bird and a birb?
best answer
How to murder
Step 1: put the knife right in
Step 2: take the knife on out
Step 3: put the knife back in
Step 4: and twist it all about
Step 5: do the hokey pokey and he’s probably dead.

Confident pug ready to enter the ocean (with a lifejacket)
Did anyone else hear the Superman theme start playing in their head?
(That lifejacket looks a lot like a cape from here.)

El-Aurian Redesign
Originally from the Beta Quadrant, El-Aurians are a borderline humanoid race. They are eight limbed, with two main walking limbs, and they often use at least two other limbs during locomotion, though it’s not always necessary. They are extremely long-lived, often upwards of two thousand years.
El-Aurians have groups of cerata on their necks and their tail. Each ceras contains a central tube connected to three small highly vascularized lung-structures. A small pouch at the base expands to lower pressure inside the ceras and draw in air. Relatively simple organs, cerata regenerate easily when damaged. The constant inhalation/exhalation from the cerata causes them to wave gently. Non El-Aurians often find this effect calming, but others may think it unnerving.
El-Aurian listening skills are a racial personality trait, not biological, and their hearing is not exceptional among known races. Even before their homeworld’s assimilation, they were a widely-travelled species, and their cultural value of knowledge and history contributes to their listening skills. They have fantastic memories, and easily assume historian roles. Their arms contain partially separate nervous systems and do not require the concentration of the main brain to operate—this leaves the main brain freer for other functions, including the storage of memories (because El-Aurians have a lot). It also makes El-Aurians great multi-taskers.
Their fan functions similarly to the antennae-plate on the Trill, though it is not a hearing organ—that is located dorsally to the fan. The fan has receptors for a broad range of particles, including chronitons, making El-Aurians a rare time-sensitive race. Their biological ability to detect spacial and temporal anomalies is unparalleled in known species. As they have a limited skeleton and much of their body is supported by hydrostatics, they are also sensitive to pressure changes (and they like less gravity than Fed Standard—Guinan keeps Ten Forward a little light, it’s fun)
El-Aurians have at least two distinct phenotypes—-given their rarity, we don’t know whether or not there are more.
(yay for the chickensquids)
