you know how it is
call him bubonic the way he plagues me
there's a scene that just appeared in my head one day and has been living there rent free ever since
Black is sitting on his bed reading Lord of the Flies. in a very demonstrative way. it's more of a statement than anything else. he even holds the book in a certain way, making sure everybody can see the cover
well, everyone exept for Blind, obviously
so Sphinx leans over to Blind and says: "Black is reading Lord of the Flies with the most pretentious and idiotic look on his face"
I think he's a very dysfunctional autistic😞
He displays a lot of symptoms:
- intense special interests (engineering, robotics, that scary clown is probably a thing im their world too, so it counts)
- stimming. Lucas can be seen shaking his leg and humming to himself in Not a Hero. Vocal stimming seems to be a common thing for him. He makes a lot of funky noises
- social withdrawal
- He only wears loose comfy clothes, which may be an indication of sensory issues.
- he also doesn't like being touched (he tells Zoe to get out of his face when she clings too much in Daughters)
- or when his stuff is touched (annoyed when Eveline is taken to his old room; also that fuck you list entry about Jack throwing some of Lucas' stuff out on the veranda)
- sensory issues with food (kinda? He complains about his mom's cooking, doesn't like it even when the whole family is fucked up with mold lmao)
- difficulty with neurotypical communication patterns. Lucas is very direct with expressing his discomfort. Takes things very literally (like in that fuck you list entry about him looking in on Zoe when she was doing yoga. She called him a pervert, most likely JOKINGLY, but Lucas took it seriously)
- tendency to systematise and categorise (the fuck you list and childhood journals)
I can think of a few more symptoms of autism (+adhd) that he shows, but they're either based off his general vibes or my speculations
Aaanyway-
Due to mental health neglect, Lucas is dysfunctional and unaware of his autism, which leads to internal turmoil, low self-esteem and sense of emptiness. Idk it's me speculating here again, but I just enjoy diving deep into psychology, so I dare to assume that Lucas tried to get rid of this emptiness and self-hatred by projecting it onto others and killing people
I'm experiencing curiosity so
Lucas Baker enjoyers, what mental illnesses to you think he's coded with and why?
I've seen a few, I've definitely seen ADHD coded behaviors but I've seen a few people theorize he could be schizophrenic. I'm just overall curious to what people think and their reasons, especially since I haven't analyzed too far into it.
Why tf is this my most popular post😭
Could you please maybe like my art as well?😭😭💔
Has this been done yet?
A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.
Hello, friends!
I'm sorry to tell you that I'm having a burnout. It's a bit more than one month till the end of the semester and I have A LOT of stuff to finish now. It's been like that for a while and I'm just tired, mostly mentally. I have a few ideas left from before the burnout, but I kinda don't have the energy to want to draw them (does that make sense?? idk).
What I'm saying is, I'm taking a timeout. YES, AGAIN. I will draw, because I literally can't live without creative activities. I NEED to draw or else i will explode. But I don't want to add the pressure of posting stuff online to the pile. I'm sorry. I hope to be back with you by the end of June.
Until then, take care🫶
(ignore the fact that she's flipping smb off)
So, she's a spider-squid mutant. Idk what else to say. I didn't look that much into spider and squid anatomy for this one tbh, so forgive me if this looks like complete nonsense. It's not that easy to make a stretchy spider humanoid that makes sense. Yet again, infinitely stretching plastic is nonsense too, sooo... I don't think I made it worse
Also I'm a fan of the 80s fitness aesthetic and I think it suits Mommy really well
(Lol I just realised that her "monster" form here kinda gives off Medusa. Well, good for her)
What do you think it used to be called, before industrialization, when Alef was just a boy with a dream of creating a brighter tomorrow? Before the pipes and turrets in the name of "safety" and "modernity."
At what point did the name shift? Was it generations after the war laid waste and left the area in ruin? Or were there hushed whispers in the far corners of the realms of how certain areas were becoming desolate wastelands, uninhabitable by any Creature of the Light, even as King Resh reigned?
As for the workers who built the turrets brick by brick, laid the pipes across the vast expanse of grassy knolls, and hand-painted the sun and diamond motifs on their historic buildings - do you think they questioned it at all? Were there quiet mutterings of doubt and disapproval of the King's orders, followed by the uneasy silence and warningful glances of friends, family, co-workers?
Were there activists? Of course there was the whole resistance, but we always frame it as the realms fighting one another - what about the people living within the realms of prosper and privilege? Were there none who noticed the ecological turmoil beginning to take hold around them? Surely there was infighting amongst the higher classes and elites as the effects of industrialization were becoming more and more apparent.
Who would have received word of these complaints? Would people be punished for speaking out? Or would the concerns be raised to the proper authorities? And who were those authorities? The Elders?
So many questions, so few answers. I desperately need Sky: The Two Embers to be out, like, now.
