This is what Ran does when he’s not stalking Kassen.
And as seen here, yinglets present their own unique obstacles to being studied.

OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
I’m the yinglet who suggests scientifically inappropriate acts.
A bit of a curiosity i noticed about the portrait of the female on the bottom. She does not look like any yinglet female shown to us so far, and we have seen all of them in the Val Salian region. That is not counting the fact that there is no way a female would be let anywhere close to a human who could draw her.
And yes, she is MOST PRETTY 🙂
She may be Vizlet’s predecessor.
You know on having re-read this I’m pretty sure it’s a “phone game” mutated version of Kass, based on the description.
The legs, if mutated for greater thickness would allow for greater strength
And a diet with more calcium and/or titanium might help. And also growing stronger, denser muscles, preferably a symbiotic host to colonies of bacteria that help break down lactic acid safely and increase the efficiency of oxygen transfer to the muscles under intense heat.
To be fair to Ran’s fanboying for his patron, patroning the arts and sciences in a time when such a thing was not funded by enormous grants as a matter of course WAS, in fact, an act of nobility. Only the greatest and most noble of houses were even capable of such a thing, much less willing to loosen the purse strings for such patronage. It might seem odd to us that Ran is to grateful for the patronage, but considering the time he’s living in, the Salia family’s patronage of science is still weirder. But in a good way!
I’m sorry for replying to a 1-year old comment but:
Remember that it is not Earth we are talking about here. The history of this comic’s setting is not truly equivalent to ours:
Why in this page alone, it shows that the people there have concept of “adolescence” (up until a few centuries ago, you were either a child or an adult, with little middle-ground at all) and that the idea of evolution seems to a commonly acknowledged fact, while in our world such a thing was even concieved until a couple centuries ago.
I like the reference to “Girl with a Pearl Earring”
Oh My Goodness that fish is Light Blue! [Bottom Left Corner]
You really planned these things out.
Now this is an odd case of convergent creativity.
I’m currently working on a worldbuilding mini-project centered around posthumans. One of my posthumans is eerily similar to your yinglets. From the body type, long tail ending in a tassle, buttfluff, big ol’ eyes, long eyelashes, big ears, sharp teeth and general vibe there are so many similarities.
I just combined the traits of a viper, a jerboa and a human and what came out was apparently an offbrand yinglet.
I swear I didn’t know of your webcomic before commenters pointed out how similar my sandbiters are to your yinglets. Now I pretty much have to read it. Not just because of the yinglets but because it seems to be a worldbuilding focused webcomic and that’s right up my alley.
