Ecosystem - Blog Posts
There do in fact need to be colony building insects that can specifically cause severe pain to creatures of any size because that is how the presence of wasps and their baby siblings, bees and ants, shield swathes of plant life from the destructive activity of macrofauna like us and other mammals. There's even trees that domesticate stinging ants. Forests are healthier wherever there are hornet nests. All of these insects are pollinators too as a bonus, yes also the ants, a pollinator doesn't have to fly :)
A little food web for the Star Wars planet I’m creating. I was trying to figure out what the keystone species would be and this was the easiest way I could think of.
Silvogitan is the major river of the planet, and the Briloskes are the glowing forests that make up the majority of the terrain.
Note: not all creatures (including the freshwater lake ecosystem) are included here

Okay, so, wetlands. I love 'em. I do. There fucking amazing. You know what else they are? Total bad boys. You think they give a damn about our labels? You thought there were only 3, 4, or maybe 6 different types of wetlands, didn't you? Cowards! There are so, so many more. The most popular 4 to introduce are the swamp, bog, marsh, and fen but HOO BOY. That's just where wetlands get started! Most wetlands can't even fit in just one of those categories! I just talked about vernal pools in my first post. Those don't even come close to fitting into any of those four.
Speaking of vernal pools, my first post really only talked about the US. You know why? Vernal pools is really only the accepted vernacular for those types of wetlands IN THE US. Any place in the world that had receding glaciers has a probability of hosting vernal pools, but they'll call them something wildly different! We can't even agree on names for these guys! But I really want to talk about the DEFINITION of wetlands.
Did you know scientists can't even really, truly agree on one solid definition of a wetland? Yeah! They're still debating it! There are some widely accepted definitions, sure, but these wetlands out here are still stumping everyone. And as they keep trying and trying, the definition just keeps getting longer and longer. You know why? Because you can't pin the wetlands, baaabbyyy! They're not gonna let you just slap a label on them like that! They're their own biome! There's so much complexity and so much that goes into being a wetland! You can't just hold them down like that. How dare they even try.
All that to say maybe go give your local wetland some lovin'? I'm sure it could use it. Wetlands are so underappreciated, and they do a lot for us and your local biodiversity. Maybe go check up on it? Say hi? Pick up that wrapper? No, the Snickers wrapper, but that one probably shouldn't be there either. Thanks!

Lurking in the deep...
My first isometric illustration, under a frozen mountain lurks a monster... Adapted to that world thrives an ecosystem with strange creatures and plants. Done in Illustrator, this illustration has been spinning around in my head for the past few days.
one of my favorite ecofeminism/black feminism reads is definitely The Green Belt Movement by Wangari Maathai, it's an inspiring story of encouraging people to help their country improve the environment with new ideas for the rest of the world to have hope in
there's only one book left on Amazon but you can buy used ones there!
Fauna around SBAC's structure
Fauna around Soft Breeze is unique in its temperature and lowered amount of oxygen in the air. Many creatures have evolved and changed to better survive in the harsh climate, changing their colours to whitish to blend in with the snow or choosing to live inside of the can or really close to it
It is worth mentioning that while the mountain SBAC lays upon is extremely cold at the top, the hyperstructure emits some warmth, so the closer to SBAC's can - the warmer it gets, thus many creatures live near it, while others avoid it
Read more for descriptions
1. A common snow lizard/yeti lizard. Those specimens have evolved to have thick fur and a good layer of fat beneath their skin, they are solitary creatures, ignoring each other at most upon any accidental meeting. They are bigger than a usual lizard, tankier, can't climb pols and can be tamed pretty easily, but beware, is you tame two of those they'll fight over who stays with you until one of them is no more. Just run away from them and they'll be no problem because they're slow
2. Snowdeer. A descendant of a common raindeer. Due to harsh climate they've lost their long legs because they were getting frostbitten. They've also got fur and are facultative herbivores, meaning they won't shy away from eating a piece of meat or two when given an opportunity. They usually come in large groups of 5-8 specimens (not counting fawns) and answer with aggression to any provocation. Try avoiding bringing any weapons around them and don't harm any of them or the whole colony will come for you. Sometime very old snowdeer leave their colonies and become much easier prey
2.1 snowdeer fawn. Very small and fragile creature, they are always surrounded by adult snowdeers that protect them from predators and harm. Not aggressive, but if you harm one an adult one will go for you
3. Harverger. Basically a distant relative of scavengers that is much smaller and fragile. However, they travel in large groups, scattering around on danger and confusing predators. They live close to snowdeer, seeking protection from them while looking out for any predators and warning snowdeer with high-pitched squeals in exchange. A good source of food, as long as they're not near snowdeer
3.1 Harverger pup. Harverger pups have long fur on their backs to make them look bigger and like yeti lizard's pups to make predators avoid them. Harverger are extremely protective over their pups, being good parents and never leaving them alone. Not worth eating. Can be used to lure adult harvergers wherever you need
4. Lesser vulture. Vultures have surprisingly evolved to be smaller, hunting down small lizards and harvergers. Most creatures no longer see them as danger, thus carrying a vulture mask would make every creature aggressive to you instead of scari g lizards off. Pretty easy prey, but they do try to get away upon taking damage
5. Burrower lizard. Those lizards have evolved to be much smaller, they live by burrowing through the ground, creating small underground and undersnow. They live in big colonies, and while one burrower lizard is barely any danger, they never travel alone, subduing much bigger creatures with the amount of them. They also use their red spines for communication between each other and intimidation of larger creatures. Easy of alone, practically impossible to fight when many. When you're taming one of them, you're actually taming the whole colony!
6. Needlefish. A relatively small specie of fish that lives in the water reservoirs of SBAC's structure. Due to their thinness they are able to swim against the water and quickly get wherever they need to. Just be wary of their sharp snout and you'll be fine
6.1 Needlefish roe. A string of needlefish roe. One day it'll hatch into many more needlefish that will immediately swim away wherever they see. A good source is food! Just try to avoid adults that protect their future generations
7. Par. Pars are large, rotund creatures, capable of rolling. The only reason they haven't gone extinct yet is their foul taste
8. Scolipede. Scolipede live in dark places, usually inside SBAC's structure. Despite not having the ability to shock like their relatives centipedes, Scolipedes have strong mandibles, capable of crashing bones and mauling creatures
9. Slugcat. Some slugcats live around SBAC's can, preferring. They are largely carnivores and very territorial. They have evolved to have long fur and small ears to fight the coldness
10. Overseer. SBAC's overseers, they largely track how far into the structure creatures wander to avoid allowing any of them to reach much more intricate parts that can be easily broken
11. Suckerfish. Cannot be picked up as long as it's alive and connected to any surface. They largely clean insides of tubes the water comes through. Unironicly the only living creature SBAC doesn't mind living in his structure
12. Big eyed fish. Their big eye is actually just a mark, their real eyes are located closer to their nose. They live inside of water reserves and eat any plants that grow there
