This is the same anon that sent the ask about sexuality in primal and I actually have a couple more things to add now after your response. I assume there were rules about human nudity from the higher ups. I mean Spear was fully naked the first three episodes of season three and they censored him with a shadow. But they showed Fangs parts no problem when laying her eggs. Which I understand was to show to an uncensored depiction of birth but then Mira had her baby off screen. So I think it was a human specific restriction. I also think it would be an interesting concept to explore the different versions of physical affection between Neanderthals and sapiens. Hell we don’t even know if Spear and his first mate kissed on the mouth even like Mira and her lover did. But non human hominids today do non baby making activities so it’s not that much of a stretch to say other human species also did those things.

hi again, anon! so glad you sent another ask! that's very true, it makes total sense that showing a dinosaur's cloaca is considered more appropriate/non-gratuitous than showing human genitalia. though i figured it was a long shot, a little part of me wondered if the show would parallel mira's eventual childbirth with fang laying her eggs, preserving the graphic nature of bringing life into the world in a way that's honest, raw, and beautiful. of course, we don't need to see mira's poor cervix dilate ten whopping inches to convey that, but i'd find it pretty bold if they made some sort of gesture in that direction.

even giving the portrayal of mira's childbirth some implications of raw messiness would be an effective compromise, i think; it would parallel the clean, "pure" childbirth in mira's nightmare when she's surrounded by phantoms of her trauma--here, the childbirth is complicated and traumatic and primal, but her surroundings are safe, comfortable, and she's got two nice trained midwives to help her through it. what would that mean, exactly? idk. but i think it would be interesting!!

i would also have loved to see more of spear pondering the mating rituals of humans. i would love to have gotten more detail on how his courting of his neanderthal mate differed from the more sophisticated kind practiced by Homo sapiens. imagine spear trying to woo mira in the way of tribal tradition only for her to prefer to be wooed in the style of his people. wacky sitcom shenanigans abound! 🤪

but yeah, ugh, it would have been so nice to have more quiet moments for spear and mira to rekindle their bond through physical affection. i feel like spear’s mind would short-circuit if mira kissed him 🥺

thank you so much for the ask, anon! feel free to send more!

[thistowerisburning]

I live for these deep dives ❤️

I'd have loved to see more affection between Sapiens and Neanderthals, just in general. We know they kissed. We're certain they cuddled -- it's what Humans do. And Sapiens and Neanderthals are both humans!

The idea of Mira preferring a Neanderthal's idea of wooing is actually adorable. (Especially if it had been that most Neanderthals did have spoken language, and in reality they may have - they had the physical hardware to do so.) Spear being nonverbal might be just a Spear thing - and Mira could do without needless lip service. :)

The show does a great job of portraying raw and real and ...primal, within the parameters its allowed to portray.

Spear WOULD short circuit. Did you see the way he reacted to being hugged? Oh, my heart...

Spear deserves so many brain-rewiring forehead kisses

I feel like I've done quests for this guy in Skyrim.

"Dislikes: bears" gives me a hint into what the quests were.

Would still give him forehead kisses. V handsome.

Clay stained mother and child — Neanderthals sheltering from the winter outside

I’ve been wanting to draw Neanderthals for a while as I, quite frankly, love them and find them unbelievably fascinating… that being said I noticed that nearly every depiction is a static standing pose or some kind of hunting or aggressive scene. I think it is important to remember the Neanderthal made jewelry, made art, had music and medicine and culture. They had caves they would generationally return to. They were, in nearly every way, human. If not for genetics, I truly think they should be considered as human as we are, for all the considerations of what makes us human, can be applied to them in some way.

Anyways, hope you like this piece and my little rant…

[thistowerisburning]

This is gorgeous 🥹

“Mind Dance” by Zeno over on the blue site!

Kimmuriel is based on @steamclouds design of him, and the painting as a whole is a wonderful capture of when Kimmuriel, “urged” by Jarlaxle, agreed to tutor the dangerous mage in psionic arts.

The sketch altered my brain chemistry a bit and I asked Zeno if I could commission them to finish it.

[dramatic-dolphin]

sometimes i see ppl with prominent brow ridges and broad noses and internally i'm like "woagg you look so neanderthal" but i never say it because i know most people wouldn't take it as a compliment 😔😔 but i would mean it as a compliment. neanderthals look awesome.

[thistowerisburning]

Honestly, I'd love to hear I look like a freakin' CUTIE PATOOTIE from an ancient world, people are broken
