"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, being spent on species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?
This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.
Politics is actually likeā¦one of the top reasons to cut someone out of your life? Where the fuck did we get this idea itās an invalid reason to abandon people? Itās literally your statement on how you think society should exist and what rights you think people should have and how. It aināt fucking āMy uncle Craigās dead to me because he takes his sandwiches with the crust onā itās āMy uncle Craig has consistently stated a hatred of minorities and poor people for longer than Iāve been alive, of course Iām gonna call him a piece of shitā
i love queerplatonic relationships where one of them is aroace and the other isn't. i love when the allo character has a crush that fades over time. i love when they don't care what they are to each other as long as they're together. i love when romance is an option that they don't choose. i love when both aros and allos feel fulfilled without romance or sex.
Can I request some head cannons of orange that you have for her
Of course omg I could talk about Orange all day! (Not to be annoying but lil reminder! They/them for all crewmates!)
Hereās a little doodle of my full design of them! Sometimes I skimp out on some of the details like the backpack strapsā¦ but usually most of it is hereā¦ talking under cut!
I mostly took inspiration from tarantulas and foxes for their imposter āformā (similarly to how I use squids/worms for Greenās) and it kinda bled into the crewmate version too lol. Their feet and big ass butt tail thing are supposed to resemble tarantulas. hair is shaped like pincer thingys or fangs, and the neck fluff comes from foxes!
Fox because theyāre orange obviously, but also known for being stereotypical two-faced mischievous liars and such. Plus theyāre in the CANINE FAMILY š„š„ and dogs are known for being loyal! You know who else is loyal thatās right Orange is with Mira Booyah
Tarantulas bc theyāre known for being evil and setting traps I guess mostly just cause I like them
Okok moving past my design for them, hereās some headcanons about personality/backstory:
They were RAISED by Mira! I really really am in love with the idea that the ideology started young, to the point itās almost cultlike. Connected to my broader headcanons about how all crewmates are sort of āproducedā in a lab, so Mira controls birth rates and sort of hands out/sells babies to crewmates all over. They canāt biologically reproduce on their own! ā so coming from that, I figure Mira ākeepsā some of them to raise as workers for themselves and orange is one of em!
Types using a lot of emojis and too many all caps (this is me projecting a little) but itās KINDA like THIS!!!! ššš„°š so just lowkey how they talk
They are demiaroace. This is really important to me. It comes vaguely from the āweāre all equally ugly sexless beingsā line but mostly itās just vibes
+bouncing off that, I like any and all ships involving Orange! My favorites are Red/Orange and Green/Orange but I also lovelovelove rarepairs like Orange/Black and Orange/White. UhhI feel like Iām forgetting one. Idk. I like all Orange ships ok. OH RIGHT I love yellow/Orange a ton!!
When it comes to polys I like the whole crew together, plus green/white/orange, orange/brown/yellow, blue/green/orange, and prolly other combinations I canāt think of
Orange was highkey a freak even before getting infected!! You can tell this from the show but I wanted to say it again. They are clingy and touchy and annoying I think partially because they like. Genuinely donāt have any friends lmao? Itās been talked about how orange is the only character who isnāt in a duo with anyone else and thatās FASCINATING to me! The alien made them care less about genuine connection I think and thatās the most insidious horror aspect of their story. The literal ātalking to people is my jobā character losing that spark to want to make connections. I love it.
Okay thatās all ty for asking anon! And ty for reading if anyone read !š«¶
(Ps. Someone please tell me the names of like. Any Orange ship names. I know thereās names for them but I donāt interact w the fandom much so IDK!! But most of em Iāve seen have been creative to I wanna know!)
