[id: three drawings: first one is a sketch of characters, each with their hand raised in gestures of showing a thumb down (Albert), middle finger (Scarlett) and stop hand (Mallory), perspective making their hands look comically large. over the characters are pride flags: aroallo, aroace and ace, respectively. top text spells “NO” in capital letters and it's overlaid with flame and asexual and aromantic pride flags.
second one is of Albert about to hit Calloway with a iron railing, above them tumblr post reads, “"what if you havent found the right one yet🥺🥺" what if i hit you with a metal pole”, first part being attributed to Calloway. the drawing is overlaid with aroallo flag.
third is a drawing of Scarlett pointing a gun at a viewer with a grin-scowl, above her tumblr post reads, “as an aroace, im particularly dangerous, because i wont fuck or marry. i only know how to kill.” the drawing is overlaid with aroace flag./end id]

[id: image of three cut out and photoshopped together stock images of men, each have their hand raised in gestures of showing thumb down, middle finger and stop hand, respectively. perspective makes their hands look comically large compared to their bodies./end id]
im not sure if you know what im talking about but what exactly is that thing your characters sometimes do with their bodies in the fleshtube au? where their skin is kind of peeling off
Depends what exactly you mean:
This is called "unzipping" and it's when a wetware in human form loses their shape. This is a real, physical transformation.
When it's colorful and/or abstractly patterned like this, it doesn't have a name, but it's a separate process. The "soul"/total consciousness of a Kernel can be represented as a "thoughtform" which looks like a mass of colorful flesh and can represent some qualities of that Kernel's emotional state in the moment.
Example: Thoughtforms of Sheriff and SD's (hypothetical, non-canon) "afterimages" (preserved remnants of deceased Kernels' minds), which represent loss of identity & spotty memory and erratic behavior respectively.
This is to say that sometimes Kernels are drawn with their thoughtforms intersecting with/consuming their human form usually to communicate some sort of overbearing emotion or mental condition such as death/panic/sense of separation from their body/dread/honestly anything. This is not a physical transformation but a stylistic way to make some character's thoughts or otherwise internalized events outwardly visible to the reader
