Me and my mom were talking about monkeys in general because i was actually very confused about the whole "if you smile, generally monkeys can see it as a sign of aggression" and she explained it to me
And other than the fact that it's a "sign of aggression" because generally showing the teeth can be used as something to show anger, my mom said this
"it all depends on the type of monkey, for example for chimpanzees your whole existence is aggressive for them, they'll snap you like a dry twig."
but also it dipends on the environment the animal grew up in, my cat could easily mistake my smile as a sign of aggression but dosen't because he grew up knowing how humans show emotions and can distinguish between them, a wild monkey for example can't know about it.
So this means that Sun Wukong won't actually find a smile aggressive, he grew up around humans and mortals and he can distinguish, but i like to think that sometimes he still does because he forgets, he did spent 500 years only around monkeys. And it's nature to him? Y'know.
and for Macaque? I like to think that he sees it as aggressive, that's it. No in-between. No "what if".
He smiles himself to show that he is not friendly, unlike wukong who does smile often to show that he is the opposite of aggressive, he makes sure not smile with his teeth with his monkeys though, his smile is way more intimidating than a human one.
Just
Silky monkey fact i guess
Ever wondered how Crosshair got his name?
I wanna make DC comic short series about Gothamites who are just regular ass people.
Real estate agent trying DESPERATELY to sell a house to some people who aren’t from Gotham while Joker is laughing and setting bombs just outside and she’s pretending everything is fine.
A Batburger employee who always gets stuck with the graveyard shifts and that is, unfortunately the perfect time to get a few of Batman’s rogues, his family, or the Dark Knight himself, sometimes all on the same night and at the same time.
Principal who comes to the horrifying realization that they’re gonna have to change the school year to all year due to how many ‘days off’ from citywide threats they’ve taken
The lady who petsits Hailey sometimes and doesn’t even bother to question why NIGHTWING is the guy picking her up
Is there a maintenance guy for the Bat signal?? There should be. I think that should be a thing. Maybe sometimes Cass just sits there ominously while he works and he has long since stopped questioning it
Construction worker lady who regularly points where rogues try to hide when they’re running down the streets to The Signal. Theyre best buddies
finally put some thought into how my family au would actually work- The explosion of Draxums lab was a lot more destructive, and Drax ended up getting trapped under some rubble,
Lou Jitsu’s a hero after all, and heros save people! (theres a lot more than that but this is the shortened version) also reason drax isnt imminently fighting- mans literally just got crushed and theres no way he dont have a concussion- aka he woozey as hell,
Baby Batch comic!
Casey & his four dads! 😋
Tech Turn = "sharp [turn] with zero thruster pull"
Tech Hug = Tech placing his hand on your shoulder
Examples:
Note #1: a Tech Hug is distinct from a 'Mega-Tech Hug, which involves short little Omega wrapping her arms around Tech's waist and trying to squeeze as tightly as Wrecker does, while Tech affectionately and awkwardly pats her back (examples exist in headcanon and artwork such as this from the talented @doodlingfoolishness :)
Note #2: a Tech Hug is also distinct from a Tech Twirl -
- and Tech Talks -
- and your general, everyday Tech Saves.
Klunk! He’s just a little guy
I love cats, they’re so cute :) Wish we saw more of him in the show, but just the fact that they have a cat is great. Poor turtles need an emotional support animal for all that they go through.
Even though Splinter is a rat, I think he treats Klunk like a fifth son. After all, he too was a misunderstood animal who only needed kindness once, and the love that his Masters had for him inspires his own kindness even now.
The episode as a whole was adorable! Even though they live in the sewers and fear humans, the turtles still have a little community of their own.
He’s a dad your honor
