Another post about unpleasant omegaverse scenarios in my au because I'm a downer I guess. Today's episode is on abuse in families and partnerships so cw for that.

Growling (effects and implications)

I think growling and snarling are pretty big taboos in most (western) places and it's usually completely socially unacceptable. Depending on the scenario it's seen as juvenile at best or dangerous at worst.

The sound of growling can cause a range of responses depending on age, sex, and dynamic. Pups and children are most affected by it and it can cause them to respond with intense fear or anxiety. As people get older it becomes more likely for them to respond with aggression. It's most frequently seen in alphas, but all dynamics can react this way. When coming from someone stronger or a caretaker like a parent or an older pack member, people might also respond with placating or submissive behaviors like making themself look smaller, whining, or even putting off a calming scent. All these effects are part of what makes it such a controversial behavior.

Parents growling at their children is looked down upon and is seen as tactless while children growling at their parents is worse than cursing at them, and the older you get the worse It looks. When pups and kids do it it's seen as an impulse to be corrected (like biting) but the older you are the more immature it is.

Some parents with less stringent rules who are more informal with their kids growl at their kids and their kids growl back at them in a more casual context, but this behavior is almost equally looked down upon by most. In some cultures, it's normalized and sometimes encouraged to growl at children to keep them in line and so they "know their place".

In relationships between family members, pack members, and mated pairs, growling can be used as a manipulative weapon. It's unfortunately not uncommon to find instances of people using it to make people fear them or do what they want.

Pups have weaker growls that get progressively more developed with age, and pups growling at each other isn't that big of a deal. It's seen as normal pup behavior for the most part, but some parents punish their pups severely for it, seeing it as disrespectful. Overall it's seen as more normal in alphas; growling beta pups and especially omega pups are seen as abnormal and can even be cause for a doctor's visit to some. Though excessive growling and aggression can be signs of certain illnesses or traumas, all dynamics are equally capable of the behavior.

It's healthy to give pups outlets to use and grow into these... subvocalizations? Growling. Purring also. Because if they're constantly subdued and stifled it can result in them growing into people with less control over these sounds who growl at every agitation or presumed danger.

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

My thought was to draw Calia and Jespar akin to DA:I companion cards but they ended up being less abstract after all

It irritates me alot when people say that making medic more compassionate is ''missing the point of his character'' when he is literally shown to be in the comics.... did you miss the part where he showed concern for both sniper and miss pauling's well being in comic 5 and 6.

His actions are a combination of genuine attachment + clinical interest and these things do not cancel out one another. He is always pushing boundaries and going against the grain and i think this is what led to him losing his license in the first place. He felt stifled by the rules imposed on him.

He is shown to be extremely passionate so it makes sense that he would use his endless fascination with medicine as a way to show his affection. He loves his friends so he will find a way to make them borderline indestructible. Malpractice is his love language.
