it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever
designs for the astronomers hoods down :)
Satori headcanons lets goooo
-He’s a dizygotic triplet, meaning that while Hotori and Kotori are identical, he’s the only fraternal!
-He didn’t even really know that he had brothers until he met Enel. But that’s some real sad backstory stuff ill be holding onto unless someone asks for it.
-But as a result of this they’re all very attached to each other, and do a lot of silly things. For example, Satori was born with pretty bad eyesight. Kotori and Hotori have fine eyesight, but they wear matching glasses anyway because they’re family :3
-the yellow tint to the lenses is for sad backstory reasons, but there IS an explanation. It goes hand in hand with his signature laugh.
-the secondary reason for the tint is that he can’t see glass very well, being half bird and all. Which brings me to…
-Birkans are kind of a gamble in terms of what kind of Fucking Furry they turn out to be. If they don’t look like a goat, (and oftentimes even if they do) they’ll get a mix of different bird traits. Satori got the short end of the stick here, having hollow bones and really sensitive lungs. All the things to make a bird’s respiratory system efficient, without the looping system. So in the end you just have a guy that goes into a coughing fit if the room is too dusty and could break his whole foot if he stubs his toe. <\3
-as a result of this he really likes the forest because the air is nice and clean!
-he lives in a cute lil cabin without windows because one time he got too excited and smashed thru one papyrus style. so he just decided to get rid of em after that lol
-bonus: Shura resembles a bird from the hips down. He also has scaly, clawed hands. 5 fingers but still birdlike. He got it way better than Satori.
-Expanding on the bone thing, Sanji’s kick to his head was particularly nasty not because it caused brain damage or anything, but because the direct downward force fucked up some vertebrae along with his head. Cursed with forever back pain now.
-His palms are very scarred from impact dial use. He specially engineered his gloves to be able to lock into position, with the dial sandwiched in between two layers of armor. So while it’s not too damaging anymore, the testing stages did a number on his hands.
-He’s also never getting any of the credit for designing the Ark Maxim lol. But engineering is more his area of expertise, as opposed to the other priests who are fighters. Even Gedatsu is stronger physically, by a longshot. Satori is just the brainy runt that can’t do shit without his dials <\3 but hes real smart i prommy
-he had a wife at one point. now he just has abandonment issues. context upon request because that’s some real heavy sad backstory stuff.
-Him and all the other priests don’t respond well to being restrained. The downside to observation haki rip
-he doesn’t have horns but he DOES have an ahoge that boings up if he takes his hat off.
-he’s only 5 ft tall and wears risers in his shoes. Even more height is added with breath dials he uses to get more air (and soft landings) when he jumps around. His brothers do the same, but they’re both 5’3 naturally.
-All the priests have subtle patterns on their wings. Satori has white iridescent round eyespots on each feather, that are only visible in certain lighting.
-he loves peanuts so much. it’s a bird thing. its not his canon favorite food, but anything peanutty is up there with his top faves. If you offer him peanut butter noodles he’ll be your best friend ever.
-hes very tired of other people making ball jokes. but he laughs at his own. he thinks hes the funniest guy ever.
-can you tell that the token nerd and funnyguy hcs were ripped straight from numbuh 2
-thats it :3
I found this bug in my garden but I have no earthly idea what they might be, but they’re almost pearlescent which is fun (if they weren’t taking over my pepper plant 😠)
I skipped some other submissions to post this because I'm always delighted when people find them. These are aphid mummies, which are the dead husks of aphids that were parasitized by wasps. So there are wasps helping your plants out by controlling the aphid population! Thank you, wasps. I love you, wasps. RIP, aphids.
Something about being neurospicy makes sitting normally impossible.
People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.
I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?
These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’. And it’s free!
ugghhh i missed drawing beasts
Wanted to try analyzing Lyle in depth/just my general thoughts and opinions about him. all under cut 👇
Alright. I want to preface this by saying that I am not justifying anything unethical that Lyle has done by any means- moreso I am trying to figure out a reasoning as to why he is the way that he is. Nor am I trying to “woobify” him or whatever, I just think he’s genuinely an interesting character I’d like to dissect. Morally greyish. I also apologize if it seems I am grasping at straws at some points, hopefully I’ll be making good enough reasoning for my thoughts.
First off, I believe Lyle has Bipolar Mood Disorder. It seems he’s been suffering through a manic episode during the events of the game and even beforehand. He talks of a project he has been working on in his dark room, and while its clear these are just photographs of Sam (for the most part), Lyle could still consider this an actual project; likely something he’s obsessing over because of a drawn-out manic episode. Because he has an interest in photography, he likely reverts to similar activities during these episodes.
His chronic obsession with Sam could also explain this. It’s not uncommon for people with Bipolar Mood Disorder to become obsessed with another person, and y’know, being turned into a giant mechanical camera spider probably isn’t helping much. It’s clear he’s ashamed of his new form (based on his reaction when you look at him), and he knows Sam probably wouldn’t relish in his appearance either, which only worsens the obsession.
Obviously Lyle has a crush on Sam. I… don’t need to explain that. Lol. Clearly Lyle isn’t treating this crush the same as the average person would, though, and I believe this is because he literally doesn’t know how else to. Bipolar heavily influences on one’s relationships with other people, and assuming he’s not exactly an extroverted individual (anxiety meds? being a weird nerd?), he tends to be ‘creepy’ towards Sam with the photography and all. I’m lenient on calling him creepy because I don’t think he fully understands what he’s doing is bad, nor do I think being ‘creepy’ is necessarily intentional. It’s just a combination of disordered thinking, romantic obsession, and emotional irregularities.
I understand he stole Sam’s spare key. Again, Im not trying to justify it, it’s.. not good at all, but I don’t think there’s actually any proof he’s used it before? So I cant really speak on that topic too much. Maybe he took it in a frenzy and was too anxious to return it. I dunno 🤷♀️. Its a little too far even for him, I mean, he asks Sam for consent to kiss. Whatever you wish to believe, I suppose.
In general I think some therapy and mood stabilizers would help him plenty. My boy just needs some help regulating his emotions is all… thanks for listening to my rambling. I love him a lot!
