Stiles and Peter at any given moment...

Talia: *sigh* then it's decided, Stiles will be joining us in meeting Satomi and if anyone unwanted shows up-

Stiles: Then we sick the attack dog on 'em

Derek: *facepalms*

Peter: *deadpan stare*

-

Laura: I'm going out for a run!

Talia: Sorry, not tonight dear, it's still raining and I don't think either of us are interested in cleaning up the mess that'll be your fur

Peter: Not to worry, I'm sure our resident little spark will be able to make the rain stop, won't you sweetheart

Stiles: *sitting in Derek's lap, the reason it's raining and can't figure out how to stop it, glaring at Peter*

-

But also...

Some anti-human in packs Alpha: And if you're sure that your, "honorary" human can create a strong enough ward then-

Peter: That's "Emissary" for you Alpha ___, and it'd be in your best interest to respect his title if you wish to continue our alliance *smiles cruelly*

Stiles: *standing to the left of Peter, face completely neutral but losing it internally at the alpha and his pack's expressions*

-

Talia: I'll be going myself and that's final, the alphas are seeking my guidance not a fight

Stiles: At least bring Peter, he's your Left hand, was raised knowing the same stuff as you, it would still establish strength, and it'd be less egotistical than you going by yourself

Peter: *lounging on a chair seeming uninterested, but warmed that Stiles sees him on an equal, if not similar, pedestal as his sister*

I'm on a time-tracking rewatch. 2x03 was 11 weeks before opening, and 2x05 was 6 weeks before opening. You're telling me he didn't tell Sydney for a whole month that he was hanging out with a friend who's a girl? It's not like he was keeping it a secret from everyone because Natalie knew early on he was spending time with Claire.

Whether platonic or a business partnership, if Syd and Carmy were building a friendship, it's strange that he didn't tell Sydney at all.

Was Carmy ever going to tell Sydney about Claire?

I'm fixating on this idea currently; Architects, from what we know, seem to be a peaceful species. But they would be so scary if you got them pissed off.

What do you think about angry Architects? :3

We know that architects do experience anger. Al-An specifically worries that his people might be angry at him. I'm reminded of this post, which notes that one of the symptoms of Kharaa is increased aggression, and speculates that Al-An may have already had his people's anger aimed at him.

The thing about anger, and emotions in general, is that it's a physical reaction. Emotions were evolved as a part of a series of biological responses designed to serve specific functions to help an organism survive in their environment.

So what would anger physically look like in an architect? They have fundamentally different biology. In humans, anger involves primed adrenal responses to better prepare the body to fight. It basically triggers the fight part of the fight or flight response. This includes doing things like dilating the pupils, desensitizing the body to pain, sweating, slowing digestion to let the sympathetic nervous system use energy more efficiently, and heightening the senses. Architects don't have eyes, or a digestive system, but the principle is the same. The physical reaction would need to divert energy away from unnecessary biological processes to allow the body to spend more energy enhancing the senses and improve reaction time. I'm reminded of this post which sorts Al-An's bioluminescent colors by energy, with higher energy emotions emitting lower energy colors. I thought this was interesting because it could mean that architects turn red when they're angry as an energy saving feature.

What about body language? We can really only speculate based on the kinds of animals they incorporated into themselves, and their general body shape. There's a data entry that says they most closely resemble several species of mountain goat. Goats express annoyance by pawing, and stomping. Goats also display aggression by staring as a threat, tucking their chins and presenting their horns as a threat, rearing, chasing, pushing, and headbutting. These can all potentially apply to architects (yes you can stare without eyes, it's a stance thing,) assuming you believe that their horns are defensive and not actually sensory organs. I think it's more likely that they use their hooves and claws as weapons than their horns, but they could still display aggression by kicking or snapping their claws in threat.

That's analyzing potential architect behavior at the most basic animal level. Architects aren't animals though. They've extensively modified their bodies through genetics and cybernetics. They don't even identify with their own bodies anymore. Their bodies are just tools to them. Architects conceive of themselves as primarily a collection of data. I do wonder if they even experience emotions the same when they're in purely data format (like when they're in storage) as they do in their bodies. Storage is supposed to involve whole brain emulation, so presumably they should be able to emulate anger, but it's also possible that they don't feel emotions in storage the same way they do when they have bodies because they allow the body to regulate that kind of thing. There's also a good chance they modified their bodies to regulate their emotions at will, meaning, if they start experiencing physiological effects of an emotion, and they would like to stop, they can. Body producing adrenaline for a situation in which that is not actually helpful? Just turn it off. It seems like something they would do.

quite satisfied with how much i've been improving with my chain dashes. if you ignore all the blunt force trauma and fall-related injuries.

Saw a fic about vastaya Viktor and if you ask me he’s definitely a bird (or salamander if you wanna super angstify him- cough cough Rio cough).

You're always drawing and I was wondering what you do for a living to have so much free time? I'm sorry if my question is too personal.

I'm a medical assistant at 2 places (so technically I have 1,5 jobs) I do go to work physically, but especially with the second place I do a lot of stuff remotely. Both places are pretty close to where I live (the farthest one is 30 mins away by bike).

The reason why I'm drawing all the time is simple - more sane people are reading books, playing games etc. etc. in their free time, I draw. I treat it as a hobby, it brings me lots of joy, I relax while doing it (when I don't put some ridiculous pressure on myself ofc). Plus I don't have any social life so :D more time to put my blorbos on a canvas.

And honestly, the stuff I've been posting here in the past 2-3 months are mostly just ask doodles, which most of the time take me under 1 hour to make. Some of them aren't even my proudest work, they're mostly messy. Plus I kinda found the most efficient way to do stuff, a brush I really feel and like that allows me to color very fast, swatches so I don't have to mess around with color wheel etc. etc.

Like here, this one took me 40 minutes. It's messy, there aren't any details really. (It's Connie pre-trap exploding incident that humbled his ass down btw.)

Stuck at my mom's house until the 27th, can't finish the comic I was working on until then :( here's a rough Cowboy!pinup sketch of Bumblebee and some Breakbee + Piston angst:

[spark-circuit]

thought that just occured to me at random at 2am here that's probably been theorised before; what if Ralsei's 'Light World' form is SURVEY_PROGRAM?

because Gaster said in the Valentine's Day letter image he wanted to 'help someone' (Kris? Probably more likely the mystery person/Dess?), and Ralsei says he's been 'waiting a long time' to meet us and 'making you (Kris and Susie, but could include the Player/Soul?) happy is my purpose'. plus it plays into aspects like how Ralsei can show up anywhere unaffected, him talking/walking off-screen/our camera panning to Susie etc, him knowing all about how the 'prophecy' is supposed to go (related to understanding code/the game?) and Undertale's meta-commentary on fourth wall stuff like with Flowey talking to the player

Oh! Fucking. Duh. Obvious Roxie post I can make today: here's an emote I made for the sp:te server! (With variants of different degrees of completion...)

I was gonna go back and shade the comic colors Roxie but. Just ended up going w the colors picked off the screenshot. This screenshot, specifically!
