SAURIS'TOK ANNOUNCEMENT
6 months ago
Hello everyone! Hope you're doing well, where ever you dwell.
I have made a decision regarding my Space Dinos and their clothing. After much consideration, as well as chats with good friends of mine -you know who you are cuties-, I've decided that:
* ALL of the Dinos are going to usually be referred to as "Sauris" or "Dinosauris". The latter meaning "Dinosaurian" in their language, which is the designation more or less, if it was in English. They are technically beings that resemble Dinosaurs, but up to a point. Their DNA template is based of different specific Dinosaurs from Terra, but only that -a basis. However, they are considered the Sauris'tok's ancestors. So "Semi-anthro Dinosaur-like monster beings".
* Secondly, due to my tastes, the Sauris'tok are all now different levels of naturally curvy/curvaceous, voluptuous and bottom heavy. However, not exaggeratedly, even I have my own limits.
This means they will usually or typically have big hips, wide hips, thick thighs and big/large to huge posterior at all times (or what passes as a semi-anthro butt). Some -like Zarus for example- will even "fight" to gain weight and biodata, in order to get even curvier, until they end up burning it off due to how Sauris'tok metabolism works.
Essentially, the Sauris'tok are a species of beings that are "andromorphs" or androgynous. They physically appear vaguely masculine yet have femmish proportions "mixed" in, and even asexually reproduce eggs. From a human perspective, that would mean ALL of the Sauris are scientifically female, but that's the limitation of humans so go figure. They are not meant to be a gender/sex, because there isn't any sexual dimorphism. Good explaining what sexual dimorphism is to a Dinosaurian, because they'll probably not understand or be confused.
* Their domestic or civilian clothing is heavily reminiscent of the Zonai from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. That is to say, it is heavily Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese I believe) mixed with Mesoamerican design and style. This means its revealing and loose -some even have open midriffs, to show off their tummy and body art, which may also inadvertently help the more...vore-inclined folks of the population. In addition, this means they'll wear "waistguards" well...around their waist (is that what they are called? There has to be a better word), as well as other forms of garments such as say, thigh-highs. They will even wear what passes as a shirt for them -some may not even cover their arms- and some will go bare chested and so on. Of course, when it gets cold and wet due to how Spring, Rainy/Monsoon Season, and Winter work on their world, they'll wear coats and other things to keep warm ,in additon to bulking or fattening up. Next, they'll also wear ornamentation along their arms wrists and fingers, even shoulder-neck cuirass of various metal -like bronze, silver, gold, alexandrite, and etc. Different clothing and pattern styles will indicate say, your profession, job, and etc. Everyone is permitted to wear certain stylish clothes of this. Said clothes do actually help them show off their *ahem* physique and figure, which is not actually looked down on either.
However, folks are not required to wear clothes. They can go au natural, because there are not naughty bits to see. Those who DO go "naked" are usually seen wearing backpacks of some sort, and or tailbags too.
These clothes are from their tribal period long long ago, but it stuck with them, because if it works and folks are comfortable with it, then why get rid of it right? Sure aprons and etc exist too, but everyone has their traditions after all.
* Their militaries also wear aspects of these clothes, but as a "second layer" or on top of what they wear. So for example, they could have armor or a battle dress uniform of sorts, but then have a waist guard and shoulder cloth, said cloth would be of a specific color or pattern, which can show rank and etc. It is less obvious compared to say, wearing armor of all one color so you stick out like a Russian jeweled egg and wonder why you suddenly have crosshairs on your forehead, due to how important you are!
All in all, especially domestically- the Sauris are tribal in clothing design and choice, as well as ornamental, yet advanced and do have not as showy garb depending on what's going on.
* I looked it up and discussed with said good friends, and figured out that my world is actually STEAMPUNK. This is due to the technology aesthetics, architecture, and so forth being reminiscent of the late 1800's into the early 1900's to the "Interwar" period. With only a minor sprinkling of 1940 and science fiction. This ain't Dieselpunk (even if I do like that too). Said architecture is somewhat like China, Japan, Thailand/Siam and Vietnam, with India; for example, the Ornthician Emperor's palace looks kind of like the Chinese Forbidden Palace of old, mixed with India's Taj Mahal.
* In saying this, the Sandarii -the Titanoboa nagas- architecture is Thai, Indian and Egyptian in style here and there without being exactly one in purity.
Both the Dinos and Serpents are not simply copies of some Earth culture, I took aspects I enjoy, and mixed them together/ did MY own thing with them. Its aesthetically pleasing and very fascinating to me, and lovely to see. Its MY decision.
* They have a feudalistic society, in the way that they have an Emperor (and in the Sauris'tok Commonwealth era, they have individual Emperors, but Emperor S'tormhorne is THE Emperor of the whole thing.), as well as a bunch of aids and so on that help, because as we all know, ruling a country and "empire" (the Dinos prefer to call it a commonwealth!), is hard work by yourself. For Emperor S'tormhorne, keeping an entire Commonwealth of roughly 20 billion folks is VERY stressful, hard work.
* They do not use farming, due to viewing that as violating the land. Instead, they use hunter-gathering, but do not over indulge on what they hunt or take. Usually its safer to do these tasks or activities in a pack or herd, because as beautiful and lush as their world is, it is quite dangerous depending where you go. Upon hunting or gathering something, it is taken back to the community, so ti can thrive and everyone benefits. Meanwhile the hunters or gatherers, get to keep part of what they found for themselves; it is fair, and because of how time consuming it can be, skill-based it is, and how dangerous it can turn out to be (sometimes folks never come back because something ate them or killed them), they ought to have their own share of the subject matter. It is not a thankless job, everyone is grateful! ^_^
Some point, I may write/type subjects in Word like I did with the Rapcsis Dromaeo Imperialis, but one step at a time. This Journal is the "general" idea or a helpful basis.
Thank you for listening. ^_^

Anything in particular you enjoyed? Or may be curious about?
There are no mammals on Sauria, nor birds -unless ya count the raptors and other theropods being the closest thing you'll get to birds. x3
Its just Dinosaurs, other Mesozoic reptiles, some insects and LOTS of fish.
Lots of untouched land, so nature is kinda everywhere.
Plus….they are immune to dying from old age.
The Sauris’tok are not mean. They are only a little xenophobic a little similarly to present day Japan: they can be kind and happy to meet you and all that, but are more wary of “what will you do?”
So its more like they are wary or cautious around outsiders, but can warm up to you, and be more relaxed.
Either be i melting painlessly and soothingly, simply “squeezing and clenching” your form until you go “deeper” and get absorbed a moment later, or simply get absorbed into the stomach lining.
Which ever the case, its painless. Don’t think folks should suffer x3
Sentient pudge is also an automatic thing too.
You will regrow physically over time back to however you looked before you got nommed. However, if you eat and drink in that time frame, it happens faster ^_^
Your mind will be intact, and feel as if you had the best sleep/rest ever~
Like a west-rested feeling.
But it is not the center of attention.
Also like the clothing too, plus the steampunk world is sooo cool sounding~
I am happy to make this decision, yesss~
Will always love your world and the Sauris~
I still draw with pencil and paper, so its time consuming, and with university...yeah...
Anything in particular about it?
Determination is key when creating things, and you nailed it.
Looking forward to what comes of this, either literature wise, or drawing wise. ^.=.^
Anything in particular you like about it, or are curious about?
Props.
