Alternately, a positive spin, Peter is born in one of the harshest winters in recent history, but that's just what it is - Winter. People were lost to the cold, the hunger, yes, but summer came. Things will never be perfect, and every year is a chance for more tragedy, more cold, but what more fitting for Noir's Peter Parker than to be a symbol that times change if you fight for it? He has to keep going. He has to, otherwise who else will? The snow melts. He's tired, but the snow melts.

I really like this! "what more fitting for Noir's Peter to be a symbol that times change if you fight for it" SO REAL The noir genre really lends itself to being bleak and fucked up but i'd be lying if i didn't say i love and crave hope in all types of media, especially dark ones.

So much of noir Peter is him being disillusioned and hostile towards the world around him (and rightfully so), but I love him and want him to be happy and sometimes the only way to do that is to light a fire and find something in knowing the snow will melt.

Idk if I already asked you this but… Did you see the eclipse and did anything interesting happen afterward?

(Yes this is your queue to do your own version of Da Doo)

oh yeah, that total eclipse of the sun, about a week agoa

(da doo)

i didn't get to see much that day

(shoop, da doo)

because sadly, my state only got a partial eclipse

(dang, da doo)

i was also inside, at a physical therapy session

(ouch, da doo)

because you see, well, my left knee is fucked up

(da-da-da-da-da-da-doo)

it did get a little bit darker outside

(moon, da doo)

and i got to see a bit of it when i was done

(wow, da doo)

and suddenly, and unpredictably

i went home and watched little shop in my room

#i hope that read to the tune of the song #little shop of horrors #lsoh #aaasks

Do any of them have a preference for gifts?

I continue falling asleep periodically and without permission, apologies this took so long!Oooh gifts, yeah probably!! Lemme think

🩷 Rus n Sans - I'd imagine Rus would like almost anything, sincerely, card, chocolates, flowers, a knickknack – honestly just. Anything! He'd be so stoked to get a valentines gift, and (barring food gifts) he's absolutely keeping it forever lol As for Sans, probably has a slight preference for food gifts, but similarly, he’s mostly just happy to have whatever, and he'll definitely make some sort of joke about it

❤️ Edge n Red - Edge always prefers practical gifts, under almost any circumstances...however. If someone gave him flowers or a small potted plant of some sort, it would definitely make him blush and he'd put them/it somewhere he'd see frequently... Red definitely prefers food gifts, though more so savory than sweet – honestly, just take him out for lunch, he'd prefer that lol

🧡 Stretch n Blue - anything, and i mean anything, so long as it's a sincere gesture, would fluster Stretch very thoroughly. But a favored sweet of his (or something with a joke on it) is sure to make him feel extra fuzzy. Blue is more sentimental than he cares to admit, so something like a little keepsake that references some special part of your relationship is definitely the best thing to get him, but he'd be happy with anything else, too (except maybe chocolates, he’s not the biggest fan).

sfmetal, fsglass, the horrors, lovefell, glitchedswap, vesselfell, and Dos n Wingdings under the cut ✨

💛 Copper n Gold - Copper would geeenerally prefer food gifts or something small and useful, like a nice lighter or smth, however he'd probably rather just spend time together, maybe going out for drinks. Gold struggles a little accepting gifts, but, something romantic like flowers or nice cufflinks would have him blushing lightly, despite his best efforts (a revenge gift would find it's way to the gifter very very soon thereafter)

💚 Ghost n Haze - Ghost isn't a big gift guy either, but something like interesting candy would be appreciated, especially if it's something he can share with the gifter. Haze is opposed to gifts, especially anything perishable (food or flowers), but he'd begrudgingly accept anything related to an interest, like perhaps a nice journal.

🩵 Dove n Patch - oooh Dove would love just about anything, similarly to Rus. Just happy to be considered!! Probably puts it somewhere special to make sure it doesn't get lost, or in the case of food gifts, savors it meaningfully. Patch is also pretty iffy on gifts, but you can't go wrong with food! But maybe a gift card to a grocery store would be better so he can choose himself (can be a little picky about things...)

💙 Dusk n Clips - Dusk would honestly be a bit freaked out by receiving a gift, of any kind, but once he’s calmed down would...feel weird about it? But treasure it dearly. Eclipse doesn't have any preferences at all, but he’s glad to take advantage of someone who wants to get him something, although contradictorily, he wouldn't like food type gifts.

💜 Rust n Coal - Rust would prefer something like a knickknack or collectible through and through. Flowers die and he’s weird about food gifts absolutely. Doesn't need to be anything sentimental, but if you're insisting, just get him something interesting. Coal would be completely happy to get any kind of gift! Though something he could share with the gifter or his brother would definitely be preferable.

💗 Lace n Cire - Lace is a huge sap for any romantic gestures. Flowers, sweets, something sentimental, something meaningless but cute; doesn't matter, it's from someone who loves him which means the world to him. Cire's a liiitttle pickier. He's guarded about gifts, some simple is better, maybe flowers or candy, something he can easily make a joke about.

🩶 Uno n Sky - while Uno would truly appreciate any gift, something silly or some candy would be the highlight of his day. Sky...would honestly prefer quality time. Going out for a meal or doing something together. He’s a busy guy, and a break would be...nice.

🖤 Void n Perp - Despite anything he'd say, Void is always touched by gifts. Preferably something nonperishable, as he travels too much to appreciate flowers he'd have to leave at home and he’s just not much of a candy enjoyer, but something small, sentimental or not, always makes him soft. Perp's an easier sell, but similarly to Red, he'd probably prefer something him and his gifter can enjoy together.

❤️‍🩹 Dos n Wingdings - Dos would struggle to accept any gifts, but something small and romantic would surely get him blushing despite himself. Especially flowers... Wingdings would be so utterly surprised to receive anything at all, no, no preferences, he'd probably not even fully process he'd received a gift until well after the gifter has left lol

You said you're excited to spend more time on Sur'Kesh in Empire of Preys, and I'm excited for that too! We only got to spend like a minute on Sur'Kesh in canon, and I've always wished that we'd gotten to see more of that world. What do you imagine salarian architecture and design sensibilities as being like? I won't ask you to spoil the story, but I'm curious about any worldbuilding you've done along those lines that you'd like to share!

HELLO!!

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this wonderful ask! I kind of pondered a lot on what to talk about and how much I should talk about; but since you focused on architecture, I think I'll focus on that!

So, in The Empire of Preys, we spend most of our time (barred from one scene that takes place in a more remote city) in the country of Nkoma. What we call country and what salarians call country differs slightly, however: think of it more as an administrative district that exists more for the sake of resource repartition and ease of organization at a medium scale rather than a place, or an identity with strong cultural attachments that would involve nationalism or things like this --this would be much more true for cities (a practice encouraged and mirror by asaris) and clans in general.

There are two main focuses in Nkoma.

The first one is the city of Talat, considered a hotspot of diplomacy (where the administrative body called the Grand Symposium has its seat --basically where the Salarian Union is being ruled), business and tourism that spreads from the remnants of an old volcano all the way to the seaside coast. Its main landmark is a huge water dam used to control the level of the internal lake, assist with irrigation of the agricultural activity spreading around the city, and also partially turned into a luxury hotel. It's also the city that looks the most like the Citadel, Thessia, Armali, and every huge metropolis in the galaxy: it has tons of immigration and is the most overtly capitalist, with the least amount of relics from their past that isn't directly turned into museums.

The second is the city of Leyjung, which is Nkoma's second biggest city (and the biggest focus of the two within the narrative). It is much deeper inlands, deep within the rainforest --it's actually pretty close to the STG quarters that we see ingame (and MAYBE, maybe, we could see it in TEoP as well....)

It's a very old city with tons of history: it is roughly divided between the old town (tucked inside a valley following a large river) and the newer town that looms over it from the cliffsides. Both towns are riddled with technology; it's just that the old town still preserves a lot of its ocher-based and troglodyte buildings that allows for natural temperature regulation on top of being monuments to the city's past as a huge capital of the (since defunct) phassen empires.

The traditional structure of the salarian clan does not account for individuality. Therefore, the oldest kind of salarian building is the House: a very long building built over generations that try to account for the needs of the clan, a place where every salarian with a clan is always welcomed (but they have, for example, no concept of individual bedrooms; though people with importance within the clan have individual offices). The whole clan very rarely live together all at once; they generally have small individual open rooms that will sustain a dozen of salarians at a time (for example a ton of small kitchens rather than one big room where everybody eats all at once, and no real concept for group meals except for big celebrations). They also include walk-in showers everywhere; the goal is just to let water splash over you for a few seconds to cool off, and you're not even expected to remove your clothes while doing so (they also have communal pools for longer soaks, where public nudity is 100% fine).

Leyjung still has a large number of old clan Houses that have not been repurposed into commercial hubs or broken into smaller apartments like in Talat; most notably, the biggest Linron House is still in use while being considered a remarkable historical artefact as the history of that clan and that town stretch back for at least a thousand years.

One of the biggest challenges of the architecture of the town is to account for the extreme humidity: the rainforest surrounding and permeating the town is so dense that, twice a day, once at dawn (feshe qer) and then a little after midday (selecat qer), huge clouds of vapor start rising from the surrounding canopy as the air gets more and more suffocating, until it all breaks down into a brief torrential rain that soaks everything back late in the afternoon, and makes the evening and night the most pleasant temperature-wise. It happens... basically every day.

The town's architecture is therefore very concerned with avoiding wind and thunder damage, as well as trying to prevent stagnant water from swamping down the infrastructure. For example, hydrophobic plexiglas is very widely used. A lot of streets meant for pedestrians, especially in the older town, kind of follow this format (sorry for the janky perspectiiiive I'm bad at thiiis)

Using a lot of non-corroding mesh fence and avoiding to put salarians directly on ground, using a lot of triangular structures to let the rainfall glide to canals that are pushed back to the main river, with a ton of plants to absorb the excess humidity as much as possible and provide some relief from the heat.

The main problem that Leyjung face is: when is modernization too much modernization? What is preserving tradition, and what is refusal to change? What's opposition to galactic gentrification, and what is straight-up xenophobia? What's power to the individual VS what is the destruction of the collective?

Let's have Elections about it, maybe!! Surely that will solve everything!!

#salarians #salarian #salarian oc #sur'kesh #the empire of preys #halfway home #my writing #asks #thank you for the aaask!! I have more but I think that's a fun first overview #lots of plants #lots of tradition VS modernity #lots of people sweating together #also pretty wack city fare in leyjung #they do be gutting a giant river fish for funsies #and bathing in psychedelics and absorbing it through their amphibian skin #while glueing fluorescent scallop-parasites over them and dressing up as non-binary demigods of ancient times #in order to make the jungle fear them back
