S.S. Frame Wing Emotes

Adding to this post originally bringing up the star seeker frame type

Star seeker wings have 3 main states: neutral, where all wings are relaxed. Submissive, where the secondary wings are lowered. Dominant, where both secondary and primary wings are flared up and out.

Extra notes on S.S. wings below cut

--

Star seekers were not built with sensitive wings, able to take a few bumps without feeling any pain. Some individuals may still dislike having their wings handled, and excessive impacts against hard surfaces may lead to irritation at most.

Breaking or bending their wings of course does cause pain, but breaking a leg typically hurts them more.

Star seekers do not have the most expressive wings, their secondary wings doing most of the emoting with occasional fluttering, wiggling or dips. Most movements are during positive interactions, for example fluttering when one receives a compliment.

Their primary wings rarely emote, mostly during stronger waves of emotions. They most often use their wings for silent signaling to each other during situations where they must be quiet, but that is different from emoting.

They can do something called 'wing rattling', shaking their long wings rapidly against each other and their back plating to create a loud aggressive noise.

If a star seeker's wings are flared aggressively, they may rattle their wings if they feel the message 'back off' wasn't clear enough.

If an individual is feeling petty or spiteful, they might rattle their wings to interrupt/drown out others, if only to annoy one or more people.

In addition to wing rattling, star seekers can also snap their primary wings by moving them up and down in one quick motion to create a loud clash. This sound is also mainly an aggressive one, but while rattling is usually a warning to back off or shut up, snapping is either a challenge or to draw attention.

Wing rattling and snapping is only ever done during face-to-face interactions and preferably in an environment that has less of a risk of ambush or is perfectly acceptable to be loud in.

the way its been TWO YEARS since i first wrote those posts about sabine's design. sooooo where are all those other butch female characters youse insisted would appear and it wasnt just going to be the evil scary brown woman? where are all the "good" characters with realistic facial scars? or will SSO just continue to oversexualise her and see no issue with it because "haha hot woman!! step on me!!"

Do you have a sketch of what the Star Seeker altmode looks like, I'm looking to make one and I'm not sure how the secondary wings sit on the body of what I'm assuming is a plane/space shuttle.

Additionally, I'm just double checking, can we use them in our own stories?

The alt mode has gone through several versions, but here’s the most recent sketch. I always try to keep them looking like they are fast fliers and efficient soarers. Though perhaps they are not the most agile space jets.

This sketch is of Starhawk, so there are of course some variations between individuals depending on shapes of their kibble and lights.

And of course you can. When you make your own Star Seeker, it’s yours to do whatever you want :>

This has too the funniest thing I've seen today thank you wonderful Ricoonbitch

I am currently dying of Covid (I'm fine just sick af) so uhm here's trash panda

Still one of my favorite arts

The Lamplighter

Jorvegians have a winter custom of putting a lighted candle in their window in hopes of seeing the Lamplighter.

Also known as the Waxen Walker, it is made of candle wax with a heart of fire. However, the heart slowly melts its body, leaving a waxy trail wherever it goes. As such, it only lives during the winter months when the temperatures are cold enough to help it hold its shape.

It wanders from place to place, consuming the candles people put out for it, replenishing its own body with the candles and reviving its heart with the tiny flames.

Nobody knows for certain how it came into existence, but it is a gentle, peaceful creature that gives hope and protection to travelers who find themselves lost in the wilderness.

Perhaps it does not want others to suffer the same fate it did.
