the beautiful Macrauchenia Patachonica! | OC (made by me!)

I love this species so much and it KILLS me how it's only used as a punching bag for smilodon. Like, it's so interesting! I love this llama camel antelope horse giraffe, like it's so cute and has so many of its own quirks! Also, my first time drawing an extinct mammal. I've drawn dromaeosaurs and ornithischian dinosaurs, horses n cats, but not much else!

This gal's name is Michelle (´⁠ω⁠`)

Also, I'm not looking for critiques ^^ I had paleo-accuracy in mind but not strictly, it's stylised and not meant to be hyperrealistic!

I'd like to announce something... 🥹💓

ME and u/suspiciousbnnuy are mates!

We're working on a nest currently, they are a very good rock finder and find such pretty rocks!

mama edmontosaurus here, anybody know a good safe grazing spot?? 🥹

I've eaten through my last grazing grounds with my offspring, now they're becoming more independent I wanted to find a new spot, anywhere nice and safe and away from predators?

Maybe with water close by??

Thank you guys (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

ECOS TEAM!! DROP ROAN/VARNISH ROAN HORSE SKINS, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!

I don't expect them to be 'true roans' as I don't think they were possible, but skins similar or a varnish roan since we already have leopard horses would be SO CUTEE !!

I'd love to see in general a red/strawberry roan or just redder coloured horses aside from the darker bay dun! (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

1 very laggy bison vs 5+ smilodon 😭

Please don't bully me I know my aim was horrible and I should have kept a better eye on my stamina (⁠˘⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠˘⁠)

I GENUINELY have no idea how I survived, because I was genuinely like giving up and whispering to myself "yep yep this is over" because I was struggling so much with the rings, having lag spike after lag spike, and I NEVER play as a bull 😭 I'm a cow girl through and through! And my cat was on my lap and kept nuzzling my hand for attention

I really wish at the beginning I was more careful with my stamina, I'm very used to being a horse/cow where I have much more stamina and can flee rather than fight back, I've learnt a lot from this experience! I didn't realise just how little bison bulls have in terms of stamina- I'll be practicing more!

also, the original footage is 9 minutes long, but I cut it down to 3 minutes and sped it up as it was just a lot of the smilodon running away to get their stamina whilst I ate and tried not to starve, I should of ran to the migration zone!

I was doing realism as a rogue bull and my bulls personality is also like just generally aggressive, so I wanted to keep fighting to stay in the spirit of my oc- but it probably would have been better to rest and then run to the migration zone or over the river

also, if you notice I kept looking down, it's because my device is super laggy and if I look up or straight forward, I get so laggy and slow so I needed to keep my camera angled downwards, I can't wait for the possible day I get a higher quality device or maybe even a nice pc setup

just me or do any other herbi players literally CANNOT win at the rings, no matter how good you are??

I was playing as a bay dun horse in a public server in a pretty big realism herd, and TWICE i had gotten all of the rings right and still I ended up being killed ://

The first time it was two sabers so I just assumed they were both really good at the rings, but the other time it was only one smilodon and I had gotten eveeryy single ring right- and I'm a bit confused on why?? Was it because my survival score on my horse was lower?

Maybe that has nothing to do with it, but a while ago I was on my 5 hour horse and despite there being like 3 smilodon and doing the rings terribly because I was panicking lol, I still manage to flee (and then proceeded to run straight into tar but that's beside the point lol) and on my current horse I had just started playing after 2 weeks of taking a break so I had only 0,2 hours and got killed very quickly, is that maybe it?

Thank you thank you! Sorry for ranting a bit, I'm a little annoyed (—﹏—;⁠)

CAT GENETICS NERDS!!! I NEED HELP DESIGNING MY OCS KITS!!!

these are my two warrior cats ocs, and they have 3 babies !!, and I'm just designing them but I wanted to go for pretty strict realism in terms of genetics (I'm not as strict on the designs themselves, just their genetics if that makes sense!) and while I'm trying to learn genetics it's very confusing and I need help!! It bugs me how much warriors ignores genetics in the books and since I want the cats in my custom clan to all look somewhat unified and related to their family, I wanted realistic genetics!

Horsefoot is a fawn bicolour and Doestar is meant to be a ruddy ticked tabby, kinda like an abyssinian! They both aren't naturally bobtailed, they just had their tails bitten off by a badger :p

help I beg and plead!

video + how does everybody feel about courting and such in ecos? ^⁠_⁠^

I was actually in a public server during this clip, I've been super lucky recently finding casual realism in public servers! Playing everyday definitely pays off, as I also led and posted about a public horse realism a few days ago!

I was playing as a leucistic cow (actually my oc, fana! I plan to draw but I need to practice drawing bison, I may commission someone) and the herd was made up of mostly bulls, I had only recently joined and one of the bulls (the moulting one!) started chasing and circling me, grunting and chasing any other bull that got close, and then started fully fighting with the veteran bull that came over in the start of this clip- I'm disappointed I didnt get to play in this server for long (I played for around 20 minutes) as I was busy as I am curious to see how it would have played out after this, but thinking about it also made me curious!

How does everybody feel about courting (fighting/jousting over mating rights, etc) in ecos?

For me personally, I think it's fine and cute as long as it isn't detailed or drawn out. I like it for the realism but mostly for the bonding side of it, as I don't like being in a herd where nobody interacts with eachother! I love forming relationships with my herdmates, who I'm most bonded to, who I dislike (not outside of the game though!), and I think courting and stuff can strengthen it. I'm also an oc maker and every single time I play in ecos, I'm playing as an oc, and I like seeing how my ocs personality changes how they'd reacted to being courted or vice versa! It also spices up the gameplay and adds more to the herd dynamic! But, again, if it's very detailed, it freaks me out :⁠,)

I find I struggle a lot with my hygiene and taking care of myself, does anybody have any tips for improving on it? ^^

hi!! I'm in my teens and I've been struggling a bit with my mental health for a while as I've had a very stressful few years, and since then I have been struggling getting on top of my hygiene (taking care of my hair, showering more often, changing my socks and underwear regularly, keeping my room tidy) I've been wanting to improve on it, does anybody have any tips to work back up to it?

I was never really too concerned about it as I was always too overwhelmed with other aspects of my life, and it's never been damaging to my physical health. I'm also having some family issues, and being in that environment is making it much harder for me to do things without feeling a bit ashamed of my struggle, as a lot of my family comment on it in a way that makes me feel more ashamed and like I want to hide rather than encouraging or supporting me, if that makes sense?

I'm also a bit sensitive about it, I feel like it should be such a natural thing and something I'm good at, and I'm nervous I'm in it alone :( sorry if this sounds gross

✿ ,, £10-15 (robux digital giftcard) feral cat commissions open!

HAII!! I haven't done commissions in a while so forgive me if this is a bit rusty, but all I've been wanting to do recently is draw and I'm saving up for a bunch of stuff on roblox, so I figured I'd start commissions!

I am comfortable with drawing any character really, as long as they're a feral cat! Price doesn't change depending on the complexity, it's all straight forward!

For those not familiar with Roblox digital gift cards, just buy a Roblox digital giftcard from Amazon (I'll send you the link!) and give me the code you get (should be in your email) over discord! I do payment once I've made a sketch that you're satisfied with, the sketch will be watermarked initially before you've paid! I had a situation where someone ran off with the sketch and so I've been a bit anxious lol ^^

I'm only drawing plain full bodies of characters as I'm still practicing my backgrounds, but I'm willing to make a background similar to the piece I have of my oc, Doestar, as long as you give me the oc info for the description! ^^ tyty!

I just had the BEESSTTT realism experience in a public server! PUBLIC!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

So I joined a nameless herd that I saw in a public server, I was planning to play solo but I got quite excited since the herd was close so I figured I joined! When I met with everyone else, I was a bit nervous as everyone was being very loud and the lead mare of the herd was just kinda existing and not moving to the mz, so I headed to the new mz and half of the others followed me. And then the lead mare left, so after 10 minutes of the herd leader just constantly leaving, I became the lead stallion and I decided to try my best to encourage a realism herd, and it worked!

I didn't even do proper hosting in the global chat, people just joined and with a few reminders that it was a realism herd, it ended up being super realistic! Sorry for gushing lol, I have a huge special interest in not only paleontology but horse herds and their dynamics and I've been too shy to join a realism herd (I plan to soon as this was super fun!) and this was so fun! There were a few kosers (initially I thought they were just hunting but they kept chasing us) but we were able to flee and avoid them, not to mention everyone actually followed me when we moved to the next mz, etc, even though usually there's a few trollers unwilling to! I had so much fun omg 🥹🥹

looking for a realistic/hyperrealistic discord server for the first time!

hihi! I'm really obsessed with ecos at the moment lol and I'm getting very exhausted of the sheer amount of kosing and unrealism in regular servers and I want to escape it, so I'm looking for a realism server!

I'm looking for any species, really, but especially horse, bison, mammoth, or all species servers! I'm a semi realistic horse artist myself so horses in particular I'm looking for, but all species especially too! But anything else is also okay lol ^^

Also, I've never been in a realism server before! I also have autism and adhd, and I'm a bit anxious that I'll get something wrong, so I'd like a welcoming and kind community! I also don't mind new servers too, I'd actually prefer a newer server as I find I struggle with feeling a bit left out in communities that have been around quite long!

Also, I'm happy to do hyperrealism and communicate through body language, I feel less immersed if I'm chatting and talking in chat! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

I could probably of just said this in like... A few sentences... But I'm a professional yapper and I must yap, apologies (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)

rant: a mammoth started chasing and attacking me for NO REASON when I was peacefully existing as a bison

Okay, I was playing as a leucistic bison bull, doing a lone bull realism (although, for a temporary amount of time where I was, I was forming a bachelor herd with 2 other bulls) and there was a mammoth that had been watching us while we were drinking, and I walked past it so I could go graze..

And it got SO angry and chased after me, even though I didn't do anything, I was just walking past! I understand it may be a realistic behaviour to go and defend your personal space, but it continuously attacked me when I was just existing! A smilodon was attacking me, and even then, the mammoth tried to team up with it, but notably, it wasn't hurting the other bison? Just me? For some reason?

Then it ran after a dire wolf it had seen, so I guess they may have just been a koser? But it was annoying me so much, as whenever I sat down to relax, there'd be a mammoth behind me trying to attack me. My brother brought up that it was like the snail thing, like would you like to have 100 million pounds but be constantly chased by a snail, and it gave off the same vibe and I couldn't stop laughing 😭 but it's true, it kept stalking up on me, and I'm still wondering if it was just a koser? But I noticed it was specifically going for me compared to the other bison, it was driving me insane especially since I was grinding for tracks so I wanted to stay in the migration zone, so I was going in circles lol

Has anybody else had the same thing and do you think this was just kosing?? It's hard to just ignore them when I'm trying to grind tracks in that area, especially since I didn't have much stamina anyway yet I was always having to run away from them, not to mention I was desperate not to die as I had like 5-6 hours on that bison. I immediately moved migration zones when it changed lol (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

I DREW MY SWEET BABY GIRLLL

My sweet baby girl Willowheart/star! She became a leader just after I finished drawing this lol, she's a genemod cat and had such a crazy arc (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠) I'm a big storytelling person when it comes to clangen

She became a deputy straight after her warrior ceremony as the clan was dying out, and she was getting physically like abused by the leader, Flowerstar, and when Willowheart had her first litter, Flowerstar's victim became Willowhearts kit Meadowpaw, and so the clan drove out Flowerstar and Willowheart became the leader totally unprepared.. oh my sweet little girl I love her SO MUCHHHH

I had so much fun drawing her! Her coat is a bit different than how it is in the game, but I was focusing more on character design over staying accurate to the game!

hi!!! I'm a baby reader of wlw fiction in general lol as I fear I was scared of my family judging me but I've came out and they're perfectly fine with it! soo I wanna start reading fiction and particularly wlw/lesbian media, and I'd love to hear some recommendations! ^^

I'm very open to any genre, I can handle spice and but preferably something that'll keep me hooked and also something that is preferably unique!

Also, wasn't sure to put this under recommendation or discussion, sorry if I used one wrong!

I've already drawn my son as a warrior, what would his name and clan be? 🥹

My sweet baby honey boy Kaname (named after Madoka Kaname from the Madoka Magica series)!!

I LOVEE my baby so much he's so bald and cute, I've been enjoying taking him out on his harness! We've stopped recently because of the heat wave where I am but we also plan to get him some sun cream when it isn't as bad as he loves to spend time outside, he's indoor otherwise. I love him so much and I have a ton of warrior cats ocs, so I figured I'd draw him! He just needs a warrior name now!

He is very ambitious and adventurous and loves exploring, he loves the sun and always wants to sunbathe in the window. He's very alert and intelligent, and while he's quite brave and loves our pet dogs, he is also very jumpy around thunder and doesn't like thunder at all!

my hairless therapy cat has thrown up 7 times today and has started throwing up pink/blood

Okay, I'm pretty sure my mum's taking me to a vet appointment tomorrow, but I just need advice or anything right now, I'm so anxious

​

I'm an autistic teen and I have a hairless male cat (he's one year old) and he's being trained to be a therapy/service animal for me for comfort as I have very bad anxiety! I'm incredibly attached to him, and even though he's very early in his training and a little frustrating to deal with sometimes, I love him so so much and he's with me all the time

​

This morning at around 9am, he threw up a lot of his dry food, I assumed he had just eat fast and didn't digest it all so I cleaned it up and then cuddled with him. And then an hour later, he threw up again, and an hour later, he threw up again, and then it just sort of repeated. He didn't throw up for 2 hours at one point, but aside from that, primarily he throws up a medium amount I think like every hour or so. But the past 2 hours, both times he threw up, it was pink/light red and I'm assuming bloody?

​

He hasn't eaten anything today, just ate a lot of his dry food in the morning before he threw up and then he touched a little bit of his wet food and threw up a few minutes later. I'm wondering if maybe it isn't anything to worry about too much, like he just hasn't eaten and so he's throwing up pink because there's nothing in his stomach? If that makes sense? His behaviour hasn't changed much, he still reacts to me, he just hasn't meowed or purred or anything when he's usually a decently vocal cat, and he always is resting- like after he throws up, he just sits on the ground and then comes up on my bed and hides in the blanket.

​

I'm pretty sure me and my mum are taking him to a vet tomorrow if he doesn't get any better, praying that everything is fine, but I'm really nervous. We've had a really bad time recently with our pets, as our oriental shorthair female cat passed away, then our family dog of 12 years passed, and some of our pet birds got stolen and a few passed from shock, and my mum is exhausted taking care of our dog who has just given birth, and not to mention I don't think we'd be able to afford any treatments for my cat if he does have anything, as my mum is still paying off our last vet bill :(

​

Sorry for the rant, just very anxious at the moment! Hoping that everything is fine and he'll recover, sorry if I was a bit messy with my explanation

is this idea I had worth doing?? (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

okay, so! I love love love realism, and I know whi is not at all really focused on realism, but typically I only keep horses that aren't iuhs or events, etc! While I don't play focused entirely on realism (I still collect and go for rarer horses and stuff like that) I love the feeling of it! I also really really love training horses, and I have a lot of horses with very high stats ^^

​

In terms of getting tokens, I get bored grinding by catching horses and the more traditional ways of getting them, so I usually do horse art commissions, but my main way of getting commissions and promoting them isn't available for me to use anymore, and while I'm finding out another way to promote my commissions and developing my art a bit more to bring the price up, I thought about trying another way of getting tokens utilising my high tier marketplace!

​

I had the idea of breeding horses, primarily crossbreeds between higher stat horses, like breeding a thoroughbred with high speed but less stamina with a horse with a medium speed and higher stamina, focusing on breeding for stats, and then fully training the foals once they've grown so they have skills and high trained stats, and then selling those foals! I'd make sure that the foals are unique and pretty cross coats most of the time, but it is primarily just for stats!

​

For my enjoyment, this is a generally realistic thing to do and also the horses would sell for decently high as I'd ensure they end up having a good amount of skills, and I also plan to sell good tack along with that!

​

Would this be worthwhile for me to do and would people be interested, as I'd be selling racehorses/good horses for catching wild horses, stuff like that? I wasn't sure about this simply because none of the horses would be interesting to most people as obviously I wouldn't be selling iuhs or event horses!

​

Opinions please, tysm and sorry if I was ranting a little!! 💞
