The tip of a right flipper of the new plesiosaur fossil, with two scales along the trailing edge. A new study suggests that some plesiosaurs, in addition to fishy scales on their flippers, had humanlike skin on their tail regions, similar to the features of some living sea turtle species.

U.S. scientists grow human-like teeth in pigs, advancing bioengineering

The researchers say their study validates a potentially clinically relevant bioengineered tooth replacement therapy for eventual use in humans. (iStock) A team at Tufts University in Massachusetts has successfully bioengineered human-like teeth in pigs, marking a significant advancement in dental regenerative medicine. The researchers detailed their findings in a paper published in late…

The Root of Anthropomorphism

The roots of anthropomorphism can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where animals were often depicted as possessing human-like qualities in mythology and art. This practice likely stemmed from the desire to understand and relate to the natural world around them. Over time, anthropomorphism has evolved into a versatile tool used in various forms of storytelling, education, and even marketing. By attributing human traits to non-human entities, creators can make complex concepts more relatable, engaging, and memorable for audiences of all ages.

I've seen people comment on how Spite is more like a loud dog than a demon, that he's underused, and just generally pretty harmless.

But honestly it makes sense he's like that. What's more spiteful than defying everyone's expectations

Contains spoilers

A demon is described as a spirit whose purpose has been perverted, turning them evil

But it's also been stated that there's less of a difference between the two than most realize, both by Solas and Bellara.

Just as a few more examples

In one of Emmerich's banters with Harding, he mentions that more sophisticated spirits vary in kindness, or “There's the curiosity that leads one over a hill, and the curiosity that kindles a house fire”

Spirits also don’t really have to turn into demons to do harm. Take for example Cole/Compassion in Asunder. He kills a ton of people but he never really stops being a spirit of compassion, it's just that he views killing people as compassion.

In “Regrets of the Dreadwolf”, its implied that Solas was a wisdom spirit who became a pride demon, and while your opinion about him can vary, he’s not particularly demonic"

A spirit’s purpose can shift without them turning into a evil or into a demon, as shown when a spirit of Compassion turns into Eulogy after Docktown’s “In Memoriam” quest

It’s mentioned that before becoming Spite, it was a spirit of determination. Lucanis also states that “Any spirit can become a demon, Zara didn't give them a choice”.  so I think we can safely assume Zara was the one who turned determination into spite

It's also kinda implied that spirits don't always lose their original purpose when they turn into demons, it just usually shifts to a different aspect of it. Wisdom to Pride, Justice to Vengeance, Determination to Spite.

And spite as a concept really is close to determination, I mean how many times do you hear about people who are determined to succeed solely out of spite. 

Who is it that Spite hates most of all? Who is the person Spite wants to Spite the most? Zara

And the thing that Zara wanted most out of Spite is for him to be evil, for him take over Lucanis, to hurt people, ect.

And so when a spirit, created out of the determination to spite a lady who wants it to become evil, is forced into Lucanis’s body, is it really a surprise that it doesn’t go as planned.

I mean Spite can be a jerk, but he mostly just throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way, and the worst thing he does is attacking Illario after he kills Zara, which to be honest is kinda deserved. 

In fact, he usually seeks to help Lucanis, I mean he fucking drags Rook into Lucanis mind palace to act as a therapist. And afterwards there's a conversation between Emmrich and Lucanis where it's brought up that Spite literally thought they were still in the Ossuary, which is why he kept trying to escape through the Eluvian.

Overall I feel that he’s closer to a spirit of living in spite of trauma. Of succeeding despite others saying that you can’t, and being kind even though the world is cruel.

Trying to picture how myself from early 2015 would react if I told him that 10 years later, he'd be freaking out and doomscrolling the news because

"Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, acting through the new federal organization 'DOGE,' are trying to implement Mencius Moldbug's plan to 'reboot the government' by mass-retiring government employees"
