wait so is dinnie like...into kraang??? romantically or sexually???
Donnie’s sexual orientation is a bunch of question marks for a reason lmao. he just like me fr.
Like is the body sharing romantic? Not traditionally, and though it involves an extreme level of intimacy and trust, I wouldn’t say either of them feels particularly romanced by it. But they feel close and affectionate, and their lives are intertwined.
a lot of the stuff they do and the ways they interact have weird sexual undertones, but like, is the attraction to the person or the novelty of the situation. if they are attracted to each other, neither one feels particularly inspired to call what they're doing dating or anything. and they'd both be fine if the other one never wanted to attempt anything sexual or overtly romantic again. the commitment to each other is the most important part of the relationship.
but they both enjoy the body horror & the novelty of kinky alien sex so like sometimes that just happens too.

Objective Scientific Inquiry, And Other Things That Are Not Denial
Part 1/?
~~~
Things I know:
There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 52 weeks in a year. Humanity has used the patterns of the sun and moon in the sky to determine this.
Every day is followed by a night, which is followed by a day again. The lengths of the days may vary depending on the time of year, but this is always true.
Today, it is 22 December, 2021. It is winter. This means that the days are shorter and the nights are longer.
As of my writing this, the night of 22 December, 2021 has lasted for approximately 42 hours and 19 minutes. This is to be expected, since in winter, the days are shorter and the nights are longer.
I am not an astronomer. I am a scientist, though, so I know these things are true.
It is a beautiful night. The stars are twinkling in the sky, the wind is blowing gently, and the sea outside the laboratory is sloshing pleasantly against the cliffside.
Is what Zedaph would say, if any of that was actually happening.
In truth, the night is long and red and terrible. Everything is all wrong- the sea was roiling and tossing and throwing itself around angrily, the wind is whipped up into a frenzy, and the stars- oh, the stars- they are blotted out by dust and smoke and-
But everything inside the lab is safe and clean and sterile white as always. Inside, there is quiet and peace, as usual. And so, as the night goes on, Zedaph sits in his most comfortable chair and takes inventory. His experiments are important enough to catalogue, but he’s spent the whole season so far doing that, so right now, he catalogues his thoughts. And he sits. And he waits. And every so often he remembers that this chair is one of those ones where you can spin around in it, so he spins around until his brain isn’t tired anymore, and then he continues to wait.
You see, Zedaph is a scientist. And one thing Zedaph knows about scientists is that they can be very calm when an experiment is in progress. Everything is going according to plan and will be over soon, and then he will be able to step outwards and put the night in a fancy objective frame and say, here is what happened. This is why that happened and that is why this happened. And here is what we have learned.
Scientists think this way because they are smart and learn to separate themselves from the experiment so as not to add unnecessary variables. Scientists have clean workspaces and bright white labcoats and testing chambers. Scientists know what is real and what is not. Scientists sit in spinny chairs and brood to themselves. Scientists know outside influence is a risk. Scientists don’t think about the moon.
Zedaph is a scientist. And so he spins around in his chair again, and his thoughts fly out in all directions away from him, like a great big explosion. And he thinks about patterns and the sun and the stars and he does not think about the moon.
