Zally means well, her metaphorical dial just doesn’t go below 11.
And Partiarch Figgins knows that Vizlet isn’t being serious. Being the oldest and arguably wisest of the enclave, he’s the only one that Vizlet can talk to about things like this and unload her Tired Wine Aunt energy in front of.

“Zhen get better bones” that’s the best threat-not-so-threat I’ve heard in a while
It could be interpreted as a threat, or a suggestion to drink a lotta milk
“Milk”
Death by snu snu!
Fortunately, it is only a little death.
a petit mort, if you will.

In fairness, it probably isn’t – but I grew up just over the Channel, so I had it as a language. (Probably not so much of that nowadays.)

THAT’Z WHAT SHE SAID
Dangs-it Vizlet! Iām a yinglet, nots a doctorz!
Ooohhh… Not zhat kinda āBonesā…
Kassen Akoll for Matriarch 2021! Really what other choice do they have if Vislet is as old as she thinks. Plus Kassen is already technically a Matriarch already with 1 yinglet as a follower.
Yep, that clock is tickin’ fast!
Kass has to go through ALOT of adapting to her new life before becoming the Val Salia matriarch. Though really. She is already got alot of the traits for it. She just needs to be able to handle the yinglet side of being one. Which likely means that she is going to need to learn those scripts. and the fact that she is still having existential crisis (my brain can’t figure out the plural of that for some reason) about being female would need to be overcome to embrace being matriarch. Still a long way to go if she decides to go with either Lippie or Kass.
#150! Good job. And yes, it looks like Vislet’s plans (#82) must come to fruition. But can Kassen adapt to a world that demands meticulous planning/tracking of breeding – including your own?
PROLLY NOT WITHOUT A LOT OF COMPLAINING
Huh, so Figgins is Lippie’s father.
By the way, I bet Zally’s father is Kattajak.
And Vizlet is a troll š
All of these statements are correct.
Oh, and I also bet the human medicines haven’t been tested on yinglets and might at best not work right. Raaaaaaaan!

Well, that’s one way to weed out competition.
I’m having difficulty making posts I thinik it’s becasue this I’m not a robot checker is only appearing after I try to make a post can you look into that I’ve lost a few posts to your comics due to this.
The fix is to login using wordpress. Hit tab a couple of times and the “hidden menu” will pop up just below the OOP logo on the top of the page. Click Login, and set up wordpress. Once you have done this, posting is 100% if you login beforehand. The captcha “I am not a Robot” stuff is cranky and designed by the Yinglet High Council to annoy and harass those who side with Vizlet.
Thanks
I was trying to comment on I can think of her sending that yinglet to Kazz since she or he’s tough and is a trained soldier maybe some of Kazz’s take no nonsense attitude and not being flustered with males around might rub off on Lippie.
(that and I would love to see how Kazz’s best friend reacts to female yinglets flirting with him…although I am curious how do Female Yinglets flirt?
We seen the guys do it but how does the females do it?
For flirting, the concept of a female yinglet needing to flirt is foreign to us. The Matriarch controls breeding schedules, which leads to a lack of emotional connections for the females in regards to sex. Having favorites, sure, but needing to flirt to get one interested in sex has never happened outside of Males with eachother. Vislet’s encounter in oop 61 with Patriarch Beizel is a example as the closest she comes to flirting with one she’s obviously attracted to, and Learn to Live 70 is another with the Female Aleks interested in best boi Mori-rai. The interest is sexual, but different in how Humans kind of blunder into eachother and have to reassure each other how they are still interested until a bond forms. With Yinglets, sex is a given, the liking of someone is independent of sex, though having both is a nice thing IMHO.
Thanks.
Appears it’s mostly just the female saying let’s get breed and the male agreeing.
Yinglets just have a outstandingly high sex drive. And very little in the way of social barriers to using it. For Females (at least ones that didn’t used to be human) they are raised without the idea of “romance” or attachment to a individual outside of a Matriarch. Variations exist on the individual level of course, but if a male and female are both taken to a breeding area, they probably aren’t going to play chess and discuss world events. Females are happy being bred, and the males generally eager to oblige unless one has a reason not to like the patriarch above, whose genes are already in circulation.
I’m not saying however that things like the outfit Vislet had Kass wear in her introduction to the patriarchs doesn’t amount to a automatic yes for breeding, implying that even in yinglet society there is a measure of consent involved. Yinglets are sentient creatures and have personalities and desires of their own. We however are forever horny, and have to live with that, as Kassen expresses towards Elim, and Mori-rai sidesteps in his comic due to not yet being a full adult.
Whens a ying-man luvs uh ying-lady… can’t keeps hiz mind ons nozhings else.

(Note: Is NOT a goods idea to serenade ze Matriarch… O_o )
I’d think you would be surprised at how “Musical” a group of Yinglets are. With such a short time to learn the basics, we are mostly tought by the use of rhymes and songs at least in my enclave), as when a song gets stuck in your head, its there! Add to that a feeling of community, or power in numbers, and you get a choir of Yinglets singing after the day’s work is done. While the songs sang might be a embarrassment to Human standards, its one of the things we have other then sex and manual labor that makes us feel needed in a world that generally don’t need or value us. A nice singing, dancing, and even the patriarchs may use a “Instrument” such as a rattle or banger (percussion) or a lucky enclave might have a human crafted instrument or two like a drum, tambourine or harp. We can’t play flutes or brass instruments like Bugles or horns due to us not having the right mouth parts to use them, but we make do with what we have, its something one remembers well if encountered unexpectedly, after all it was likely music that led to us being labelled as sentient creatures in the first place. We had no native language, few tools, and little in the way of tradition. But even then we sang, and at least to the humans, it made us something other than animals in their eyes.
String instruments and keyboards also require high finger flexibility, and Kass said yinglets don’t have it.
I’d say some stringed instruments are within Yinglet abilities. Seeing as we are equipped with nautral Guitar Pics(hand claws), strumming a Harp is kind of natural. A harp also does not require a second hand to depress the neck of a guitar to achieve certain chords. Plus us having 4 hands kinda makes us potentially better harpests than humans.
Kass commenting on Yinglets lacking dexterity while writing using a quill says as much as to what we can do as to what we can’t. Her handwriting has improved greatly, so practice helps. I’m not certain a Keyboard instrument exists in Kass’s world, but it would be a challenge as many chords require a large handspan to pull off. So a Yinglet Pianist would likely require a unique seat above the Piano with 2 rows of keys, actuated by both foothands and armhands to play some Human music. We do have more “Fingers” than Humans do, they are just distributed differently, and Kass has yet to really train herself in using her foothands to do more than walk. Its a adaptation for living in swamps so we can forage along riverbeds without having to bend over like Humans have to, so our feet are kind of sensitive and dexterous. Our arms are long for the same reasons, so if we find food, its taking it from foothand to armhand to mouth. all without getting our heads in the water. If this adaptation means we can’t play the Piano, we’d rather have clams anyway.
*nod nods* Ohhh yes yes! Very insightfuls. *Makes ze notes in za sands… (as in ze writings… zhere is rememberings)*
Hhmmms. Maybies I needs ze back-ups singers? Could goes to za bar and looks for zhose scalie green guys who sings za Kristermus Carrolz (whens zhey is not outs joy-ridings Mister Fuddermenāz tractor). *shakes head* No nos… Has nots seen zhems in a whiles.

Oh yes,yes, there is some talent there, but to woo your Matriarch, remember breeding is allowed to “Useful” yinglets. To make a song is lovely, but to make a song that teaches who needs first aid, or how to start a fire and not burn down a forest, or how to wait your turn for the breeding area instead of stabby-stabbing you as you get your wish is better. If you are a talented singer, you can make a difference in your enclave, and even be elevated to Patriarch where the Matriarch will pay you the attention your talent deserves. So less Elvis and more Sesame Street to achieve the goal you seek, and good luck finding the right instrument to accompany your music.
Well here’s one fors zhose would-bes Worlds of Wrarcrafts raiders… *taps on rock wizh stick*

Try the Ballad of Leroy Jenkins and simplify it for young minds so they know to not attack before their party is ready to do so. That would get you noticed for certain! Or a funny rhyme when you stole Arthas’s Underpants, or the time you had to pee really bad, so went on a rock, to find out it was Deathwing, asleep and he woke up and destroyed half of Azeroth in a rage.
Ifs you runs before ze group… yous is a jerky Jenkins…

[Yes Iāma Guard] Oh yes yes! Letās go (no not to za Disco), before someying starts yelling at us…
Those…are pretty good! The Jenkins one will be tought in my Enclave, you bet! So many Yinglets rush in like Jenkins and ruin it for the rest, like Elim’s fight, a Yinglet fighting circle works best as a group effort, not like bunch of bruisegrass addicts holding stabs! Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Elim is recovering, but for the party going Leeeroy Jennnkinssss on Elim, they might have won. And for the Yinglet Guards, I like Right Guard, somehow he smells better than the rest ^_^
Well. Let’s see if this actually works for me. I haven’t been able to post here in over a year, with any web browser.
Confirmed. It was WordPress being a b*tch. No matter how many times I clicked on “Post Comment”, nothing happened. All this time, I never knew about the hidden menu, so I never tried creating a WordPress account.
Welcome aboard! I have posted on how to circumvent the “I am not a Robot” stuff before, and when Valsalia has taken it down, its total chaos with the amount of spam that this site gets hit with. If you wish, feel free to visit Valsalia’s Deviant Art page. That has always been available for commenting. Plus you get access to his other comic and links to other Yinglet related artists like Umbrascythe, Starstruck Echoid, and many others!
More like “Welcome back”. I’ve been following OOPS for years. It’s just that ever since a few weeks after he added the “I am not a robot” stuff, I haven’t been able to post. (It was fine for a week or two, then suddenly “Post Comment” stopped working, no matter WHAT browser I used.)
Nice, worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome! Its always more rewarding when the Captcha don’t getcha.
Does anyone else feel a deep sense of surrealism every time we see the smarter yinglets?
Nah! “wisdom” is mostly a byproduct of being exposed to “Learning moments” and surviving them. Yinglets have a lifespan of 20 years, but needing only half or less the sleep that a Human does, means they live to the equivalent of 25 ish years in experience. That would make Vislet over 10, closer to 15 ish as a guess, and figgins 15 to 20. Humans launched the moon rocket with mostly 20 year olds manning NASA. Yinglets CAN be more than skinny sluts, but its soo hard to focus at a early age when we have no decades of experience to tell us what works best, so young Yinglets end up being a bunch of hedonists in general for lack of experience dealing with adult hormones. We just don’t have the time to spend a decade on philosophy and spending a decade or more reaching out to humans, and adopting the ways of a people who can live 5 times longer than we do!
My comments aren’t posting, but have a closer look at the last panel, and what the Matriarch says.
will this post?
It may, though I put instructions on how to do so reliably above. Welcome to our happy enclave!
The deep and meaningful question of the day: How did the good patriarch sip his tea? As in mechanically. One of those offscreen things that would be very interesting to see how its done.
Yinglet “cheeks” apparently have sufficient elasticity (or perhaps mate securely enough when closed) to allow for making “Oooooo” noises, presumably that suggests they would also allow a yinglet to sip.
This topic has been researched by intelligent Ying Scientists for some time now, with the going opinion being that the Shelltooth keeps us from sucking against a cup. Matriarch Tersethra herself has spent hours of labor in pursuit of how to sip from a cup, with this being the end result. (seriously, they are a very talented artist, and worth looking up) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28227742/
Hehe get better bones
