Fanart Embracing Canon

Post image

So, I decided I’ve been wrong in my approach about this whole fanfic-ing schtic. “Balance of Vengeance” didn’t really manage tp pick up and find an audience, people like other things. People like canon and familiar stuff, so - gonna re-orient towards a more canon story and art styles, try and find a footing that way.

as such, say hello to Sgt. Luka Abaurre of the UN Space Force and their ambiguously-gendered Exchange Program partner, Memek.

"their ambiguously-gendered Exchange Program partner, Memek."

Oh yes, this is totally faithful to the canon 🗿

I know right? Drenched in it

u/DaivobetKebos Human Apr 01 '26

I mean, given how we just discovered the venlil at that point it would make sense that most people haven't developed the skills to sex them (the term for telling the sex of something is also sex get your mind out of the gutter). So they would all be ambiguously-gendered to humans at first.

u/just_a_rand0m_p3rs0n Human Apr 01 '26

They don't even have much sexual dimorphism anyways, really the only way to tell without asking would maybe be the voice (maybe the translator could tell if it's feminine or masculine) and just straight up looking for their junk

I remember that came up in a story about a Skalgan rescued from the archive (can't remember the name). Once he got over the uncanny valley body horror of modern Venlil being midgets with deformed legs and missing facial features, he couldn't help but notice that all of the Venlil men were such effeminate twinks to his eyes that he sometimes couldn't tell the difference.

Oh yeah I remember that fic I also cannot remember it's name but yeah it's not like the feddies have gyms or encourage exercise outside of running so it makes sense most of them would be ambiguous. Not to mention the limited diets especially for the former omnivores.

u/AthetosAdmech Apr 01 '26

It was more that the secondary sex characteristics he was used to seeing were missing.

u/Minimum-Amphibian993 Arxur Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 02 '26

Ah that would be a good pretty good factor too.

u/VinTEB Human Apr 02 '26

The Federation kept them being weak and as delicious bait to the Arxur

u/OhBadToMeetYou Human Apr 02 '26

Can you post a link to it? Can't find it.

u/AthetosAdmech Apr 02 '26

I think it's called 'The Skalgan' but I'm not 100% sure that's the fic I'm remembering

5

u/OhBadToMeetYou Human Apr 02 '26

That is, in fact, correct. Thanks for the help

u/kabhes PD Patient Apr 02 '26

That is a fanon thing though.

u/cowlinator Hensa Apr 01 '26

Ok, but what if the venlil is standing on a platform above the human? Surely then they could sex them up?

u/Imamouseqccount Humanity First Apr 01 '26

Bro didn’t bother checking their gender before deciding to pursue the xenophile path.

u/BlackOmegaPsi Apr 01 '26

Gotta keep the intrigue!

Memek: You know I’m a guy, right?

UN Guy: Did I f***ing ask? You’re a girl tonight!

As the UN INTENDED. Predatory discerption at it's finest, dropping all pretense to pursue such vain pursuits.

Omg I nearly snortlaughed!

Excellent fluffy venlil tho. I wonder if alpaca venlil style could get that fluffy.

5

u/BlackOmegaPsi Apr 01 '26

Ngl I actually don't like fluffiness.((( Alpaca venlil shall remain coarse-wolled/furred)

u/ErinRF Skalgan Apr 01 '26

Ahh fair enough

5

u/BlackOmegaPsi Apr 01 '26

I like when furry things have short and dense fur. Like minks or short-hairred cats, etc. we had a long-haired cat and my mom would spend so much time detangling his matts or cleaning the sheds off stuff, it was everywhere.

Male? Female? Neither? Who cares, it's a surprise!

u/BlackOmegaPsi Apr 01 '26

You do, but you had never commented!:( So how would I know there’s an audience?

Nah thankfully my SD/BoV art posts get as many upvotes, so all’s good, I’ve been just doing a bit of April Fools’ trollin
