Munday

(Seeing as it's Munday, taking any question you have for me, the mod of the blog, or about Earthshaper and the kids.)

[asktheancientones]

After the slight successes of the first day, Earthshaper took stock of what had happened. With all the slight scraps most of the children had and the patch of ice that had appeared on 'Titan's' head, it was safe to say changing who they were with would be better for the following day. While there were some complaints between the little ones, they eventually decided to agree with their father's suggestions. For this day, it was the green child that went with 'Frosty', as she's been come to be known, while the others went with Titan. Not exactly the names he would've chosen, but he thought it best to not argue and let the children find ways to identify themselves. After all, there was still time to find proper titles for when they're the old enough.

There weren't too many complaints between the duo. Neither were the aggressive types nor ones too provoke, so having some quiet time with one another was a good thing overall. The Tyrunt watched Frosty in curiosity as she skipped over where he would've probably searched for food to reach a rose bush. "Why don't you hunt?" he asked, tilting his head in curiosity as she looked over the bush, find a proper place to grab a flower to snack from. He was still worried over what lurked behind every corner, but two were better than one out in the wild. "It's 'cause daddy says I'm a hermi... No, a hirbi... I can only eat plants 'cause what you eat can make me sick." she answered, looking one more time before plucking a rose bud from the bushes. The Tyrunt looked in surprise at the fact. "You can't? But how are you supposed to be healthy if all you eat is- Ow!" The Tyrunt had made a grab at one of the roses, only to get the thorns. "Daddy says I get what I need from plants." she answered once she was finished with her rose. "Okay, but how do you not hurt yourself with these plants?" soon asked the other, watching the Amaura grab a full rose without hurting herself. Placing the rose down, "I just grab it by where the flower starts, see?" She nodded towards the topless stalk. The Tyrunt would look over, then one of the other roses. Very carefully wrapping a hand around the stalk, he'd take the other and give it a yank, successful earning himself a rose. Upon taking a bite, however, he immediately spat out the petal. "How can you eat this? It tastes yucky!" he coughed, spitting out a bit more. Upon finishing her second course, she went for the third, courtesy of her brother. "It tastes yummy to me. Maybe you can eat plants like I can't eat what you eat." "Then what can neither of us eat?" Both paused to think upon this.

Compared to the duo, the trio of Tyrunts weren't exactly on the same level; courtesy of the sand runner jumping on Titan then being joined by the shiny in sitting on him to keep him pinned. "I'll get you two!" he squeaked, wriggling under the two siblings. "You deserve this you big bully!" answered the shiny, looking rather proud. After the little scrap between the shiny and the sandy Tyrunts, they decided that next meal they share, and get revenge on Titan. Not exactly a bad day by any account for them. "I'm the biggest and strongest! I can do what I want!" "Then stand up." answered the runner, looking rather smug.  With a mighty 'rawr', Titan would push up with all his child-like strength and successfully knock both off their comfortable seat. "I'll be like papa and be the biggest one of all!" he squeaked to the sky before running off to prove his strength. "Shouldn't we chase after him?" asked the shiny, watching Titan run off. "But didn't papa say that the Se... Sebe... Those things with the big teeth are that way?" the runner asked back. "Oh yeah! Papa said they were nice. Maybe they'll bring him back." After about a minute pause, "I'm hungry. Wanna to go look for food?" "Sure!" And with that, the duo went off to look for food while they're brother ran off, only to be taken straight to the cave by an annoyed Seviper. Earthshaper was no pleased with the account given.

darksearchman answered your question:(So barring anymore word head canon asks, anyone...

Not a sport hunter or one for torture, huh? *eyes bloodstains on the walls*

(It doesn't mean he makes -all- kills clean. Since one of the reasons he does so is to not make a lasting mess, he isn't exactly against making a kill messy since they still die rather quickly (stomped, crushed by Rock Tomb, etc.) while also leaving a rather clear message that being there isn't a smart idea.)

(So barring anymore word head canon asks, anyone else surprised by some of the head canons behind Earthshaper?)

Plans

(Earthshaper finds plans as a sort of necessity, but at the same time, he tends to not formulate too many at one time. Even if he does, he leaves it open enough for any changes that may occur. Otherwise, leaving something that requires precise timing can lead to disasters that could've been avoided.)

[asktheancientones]

time and natural

(For all intents and purposes, outside of the span of a day, Earthshaper really has no concept of time in the present, seeing as they measured time differently in his time. Then again, he doesn't really know how to count, so there isn't really any change.

For natural, anything created by the hands of humans is unnatural to Earthshaper. Otherwise, whatever comes about by birth is considered natural to him.)

markysheap said: Frankly, I am surprised that he OPPOSES torture! Then again, I am surprised that he opposed sports-kills in the first place!

(While the final hunt can be sort of seen as a sport kill, it also helps in the end in that they clear away a far worse predator that could have/can cause serious damage. He sees any kills besides that of hunting, to be rid of a threat, and self-defense as a waste of effort and the loss of what would could be a good meal for a day. As for torture, he sees nothing of value in it besides inflicting unnecessary pain.)

(That'll be the last one posted for today. I have the other two I got on queue and any more I get tonight, I'll answer tomorrow when I get back home.)
