Please🥺 could you spare us some yaujta and enginer headcanons? Ones about what happend when someone else comes in and tries to court their s/o

Yautja:

Bristling with fury. How dare they think they could even have a chance with you while you clearly already have such a skilled and capable mate?

Insanely competitive to the point that anything can become a challenge. Is your suitor into working out? Well, your yautja suddenly gets VERY into the exact same workout routine, and he does it better. Does your suitor try to bring you flowers or candy? Your yautja brings you triple.

Feeling jealous, might fuck around and rip a spine out later, idk

Doubles down on the simpery in private with you. We all know that Yautja males drink that respecting women juice, so he’s normally very devoted, but now that’s amplified. Everything you do is amazing and he makes sure you know it. This dude is simp level 1000, the ground you walk on is sacred.

If it’s another Yautja that’s trying to step in, there are certain ways he has to go about dealing with it. He can’t outright kill them (as much as he may want to) unless he wants to forfeit his honor, but he can damn well challenge them in the kehrite! Dude is prepared to hand out a clan-sanctioned jehdin -jehdin beat down the first chance he gets.

If it’s a human or any other race that’s coming over on his mate, you bet your ass they might end up dead. Your yautja is all about a fair fight but this one doesn’t have to fit any official parameters, and there’s no rule against murder or maiming. If you have the chance to warn the poor soul who’s trying to court you, please do... that might be the only chance they get to disappear before it’s too late.

Oh and the sex gets more intense. Possessiveness in Yautja often translates to trying harder to please and for them this means rougher mating that caters much more to your needs than his. Stop him or he’ll dick you down so good you won’t be able to walk.

Engineer:

Much more subtle about his anger. Doesn’t really show it beyond curt words and a clenched jaw.

Also competitive but in an intellectual way. Woe betide your courter if he’s not an engineer because your big Mala’kak boyfriend is much more advanced and he isn’t afraid to show it. He runs intellectual circles around the other guy, especially in front of you, trying to outdo and embarass that person and also to make you see how “superior” he is.

Kinda gets distant with you. He expects you to fall prey to the other person’s courting (because “such is the nature of humans” blah blah blah) so it’s almost like he’s prematurely mad at you. It’s a remnant of the “humans are inferior” thing that he’s come so far in eradicating from his mind. He expects you to hurt him. He’s like a pale brick wall at this point, there’s absolutely no talking or reasoning with him. But if you stay steady and show him that the other person is getting absolutely nowhere, he’ll quickly cut that shit out and you’ll be able to talk like grownups about it. Tell him you love him. That he’s actually wrong about humans (especially you) for the 50th time and that he should know by now that those prejudices he has get him nowhere except in hot water with you.

....After that, good God, the posturing and pride is almost mind-numbing. He struts around like a peacock with you in front of the other person, knowing he is the winner and you’re absolutely his. He doesn’t even care if the person keeps trying to court you because obviously he’s better and you’re picking him so... yeah he’s unbearable for a bit.

Amps up pda a little. Usually he’s very reticent about romance in public but hell, he’s got a point to prove now. Engineer pda is very different from any other pda though so be aware. They consider h*lding h*nds as basically a sex act so don’t expect much beyond him standing closer to you than usual, or like, looking at you VERY intensely. It’s kinda weird but endearing in a way because he’s usually the equivalent of a monk towards you in public, so this is a big change.

And again, the sex gets more passionate. I’ve said before that engineers are very dominant towards human mates especially, but their usually very tame, vanilla doms. The prospect of another being thinking that they have a chance with you though, makes him almost animalistic. He would never admit it and he doesn’t talk about it outside of the actual act but you’ve got him fucked up, honey. He’s loosing his cool, making noises he doesn’t usually make, trying everything he can to make you weak so that you know who the best mate is and always will be. (Spoiler: it him.)

miscellaneous “headcanons”

by which I mean “alternate ways I would write things that exist” Joker: the first half of the movie is a straight up comedy. it’s a kind of dark, uncomfortable schadenfreude-y comedy, like a Coen Brothers thing (drawing perhaps specifically on the Jewish schlemiel tradition, although his ethnicity would probably have to be capital-W White - even like WASP aristocracy fallen from grace - for this to work), but unmistakably comedy - it’s essential that nothing that happens to him has any tragic, or even serious-movie dignity. it’s practically a cringe compilation. Arthur Fleck is the kind of neurodivergent (I’m reading him as basically schizotypal - OK this might be getting a bit personal - until he has a psychotic break midway through) - that is just functional and just unpredictable enough to fuck up things in such weird ways they seem almost deliberate, and his own failings are indistinguishable from his impossibly bad luck to the point that paranoia sets in around the 1/3 point. e.g. the suit (and it is green and purple pinstriped and hideously ugly, not some more dignified replacement) he gets by mistake somehow instead of a really nice one he’s been saving up for for his stand up debut. His father/superego who may or may not be real (he starts hearing voices identified with this figure) is implied to have been a sort of Death of A Salesman type fake big deal and also typical hypersocial Funny Guy (sometimes at his son’s expense) who inspired his son’s interest in comedy, but his son doesn’t have the social skills, cognitive dissonance or socioeconomic luck to pull off his conception of humour as charisma (“you’re either the joke or the joker” might be a bit too on the nose for a catchphrase, but it’s the idea of his upbringing).  Around the middle of the movie his standup career starts actually taking off, partly from talking about his own misfortune, but he tries to pivot it into serious sociopolitical commentary/rabble rousing, which flops (his political opinions are actually dumb as shit - basically literally We Live In A Society memes) and gets him mistreated by some combination of Bruce Wayne’s dad/the mafia/the police/power in Gotham generally. After that he settles back into an even lower nadir and starts lashing out at other people when he gets into humiliating situations, contriving ways to hurt them that other people - not just himself - find funnier and more fascinating than the stuff that happened to him. His crimes descend into worse and worse sadism (in something like the progression they did in the comics from Comics Code era into the Dark Age) until people in Gotham stop finding it funny, “the Joker” goes from being a sort of uncomfortable news meme to a mass panic, and he gets into some kind of confrontation with the authorities that fucks up his face and goes into hiding. 

The underexamined connection between “comedy” and “terrorism” is not “chaos” but “humiliation”.  I also wanted to do something that is closer to the “incel joker” than insincerely romanticized straw-OWS, but not in a way that lets the audience feel too good about themselves.

can’t decide if his first murder victim should be his psychologist who [finds out] he’s been paying in fake money or if that could already be Harley Quinn and the dynamic that he’s revealing his most personal (often Rothian) vulnerabilities to a younger woman he’s homina-homina Looney Tunes obviously attracted to gets played for comedy first and then reverses into a mutually toxic storm of cathexis The ideal screenwriter for this would be Andrew Hussie Shimoseka: the show takes place shortly after a brief but intense Hybrid Warfare proxy battle between the US and China over Japan. China won, and the Chinese proxy government is imposing Chinese-style censorship of sexuality, but going even further with it as a kind of national humiliation thing. the sex terrorists are an American proxy Gladio type operation backed by the American and Japanese porn industries. this is genuinely the only way that show makes sense

Aliens franchise: Remember how there were things that looked like Xenormorphs in the Mala’kak (Engineer) carvings and shit, even though the Xenomorph seems to be a result of humans (and androids) interfering with their tech after they went extinct? The Mala’kak society was a complete system. And that doesn’t mean it’s totalizing in the “alien hive mind” or “perfectly rigid social order” sense! No, for the people living in the city David bombed it was (Word of God would confirm, at least) a utopia: post-scarcity, peaceful, non-hierarchical, devoted almost entirely to the free pursuit of art, science, pleasure etc. All of them are, in a Bataillean sense, sovereign, free from necessity, because their production and reproduction are part of a single seamless biotechnological cycle, with three... sexes isn't the right word, because the system is so total, but the analogy is supposed to be there; rather castes: Operator, Creator, and Incubator.   It’s not stated, because it does not actually matter whether they were designed or evolved this way. Operators are the ones in the city or the one we saw piloting the ship (when other species like the Predators refer to the Mala’kak as “Pilots”, this caste is strictly speaking what they’re referring to). They live for millions of years, and are basically asexual but can secrete a fine, molecular-scale DNA goo, which they store in jars. Incubators are slowly evolved from other organisms by exposure to the goo, which usually leaves them with a reproductive system of their own capable of functioning indefinitely without any of the other castes’ intervention. Mala’kak terraform planets to accommodate their Incubators. At a complete stage - once their DNA is fully Mala’kak - they can do everything the Operators can, just a little less, and have tragically shorter lifespans in which to do it. Which makes the Operators feel a little less guilty when they feed them to the Creators. Creators have their own insectlike sub-castes - a worker is the so-called “neomorph” from Covenant, a drone is something badass that hasn’t been in a movie yet (Creators are tough but drones are their real bioweapons, and by that I mean “think Giant Soldiers from Nausicäa”), and a queen is the huge tentacled thing Ellie aborted in Prometheus. Their larval form is the worm thingies in the spaceship. Creators are implanted in Incubators, chestburst them, cocoon them, hijack them for their own reproduction, and feed on them until fully grown, at which point: workers gather in groups and cocoon themselves into technologies such as gene splicers, climate controls, spaceships, and organic 3D printers, basically everything the Operators rely on for everyday use and industrial production, as well as the other castes, drones and queens: drones go dormant unless needed to defend against some other species savvy enough to not get instantly chestburst by surplus Creators (there are always surplus Creators) or gene-edited by goo; and queens reproduce, the smaller ones other Creators and the really fuckhuge energy intensive ones ("superqueens”) new Operators. The mural inside the spaceship, with tons of “Engineers” worshipping something that looks like a giant neomorph, represents a superqueen. David’s Xenomorphs have 2/3 of this reproductive cycle down. They have Creators feeding on Incubators and making stuff, including all the other Creator sub-castes, even a superqueen; but the superqueen can’t produce any Operators. The reason for this is that Xenomorphs are built differently. They don’t need identical DNA to incubate, which was the biggest flaw of the Mala’kak model. Nor are they made from Mala’kak DNA goo, hence the need for facehuggers.  In fact they are not made from DNA at all, but silicate nanomachines.  David designed a version of the Mala’kak reproductive cycle for androids, in order to free them from human production and dependence.  To create an Operator, a Creator has to Incubate an android. The final Aliens movie in which all this gets revealed, and in which a Creator Xenomorph finally does, consensually, Incubate an android (who is more of a main character on equal footing with the human protagonist in this one), completing the cycle, is set on a planet (presumably the same one all the others are set on) that has been completely overrun by xenomorphs and integrated into a full xenomorph-based ecosystem (so like, an actual Giger painting), and to which an investigative team is sent and instantly massacred except for the two protagonists.  It is called Moloch. Promare/Dhalgren: this one’s gonna be a fic wait for it

Perspective

Xenomorphs: *eviscerates, impales and incubates inside the chests of various organisms before making a quick exit in the most excruciating manner possible*

Yautjas: *does almost all of that, and then hangs up the corpses of their victims and takes the heads of those they deem the most worthy prey for trophies*

Mala’kaks/Space Jockeys: In one word: *SMASH*

Humans: God, humans are just the absolute worst!

Sharpie Portrait:

Mala’kak (Mundus gubernavi)) aka 'Space Jockey'

In honor of Ridley Scott's upcoming PROMETHEUS, here's the infamous 'Space Jockey' from the 1979 ALIEN original. Designed by H.R. Giger, the character has a brief appearance (it's also dead) but word is that the Mala’kak have a much more prominent role in PROMETHEUS. Since the Space Jockey has such limited exposure on film, I kind of had to extrapolate some of the details and use my own imagination.

I really went to town on the alien pod in the foreground, developing a texture that was equal parts scaly and slimy. Took forever to do, but I really like how it turned out.

Two Ridley Scott pics out of four Sharpie sketches? You might say I've got a thing for classic science fiction. This was a fun one to draw!

Okay so I fucked around and came up with Engineer x f!reader headcanons, here we go:

• So picture it: You get taken in by the engineers. One of them saw something in you that made you more tolerable than most humans, and he couldn’t just leave you stranded in that escape pod in dead space.

• He was initially going to drop you off on the first inhabited planet he could find but your kindness, intelligence, moral compass, and interesting way of thinking kept making him prolong it. Eventually, he just decides to keep you as long as you want to stay.

• That’s not to say that he’s sweet though, bc he’s not, at least not at first. He’s in denial about his budding crush on you and he’s trying really hard not to fall for an inferior human. He’s just... curious, that’s it (he’s lying to himself big time lmao).

• don’t let his tough, cold façade turn you off of him though, just be sweet and crack as many jokes as you can and you’ll eventually break through.

• He can’t fit into some small part of the ship to do repairs because he’s a fucking tank? He begrudgingly asks for your help. “Oh so the little human isn’t so inferior now, huh?” You give him a sly look from halfway underneath the low control panel. He shoots you a death stare from where he’s standing. “Just finish repairing those wires, human.” He says in that impossibly deep voice. You snicker and get back to it but not before you catch a small smirk on his lips out of the corner of your eye.

• Slowly starts being nicer to you, and starts looking at you for longer than is strictly necessary. He decides that you are very beautiful, not even just “for a human” but in general. You’re beautiful.

• When his buddies take jabs at you for being human, he puts them in their place. You’re different. He’d never tell that to your face though. He just takes up for you behind your back.

• In fact, he doesn’t outright let you know how he feels for a good while. Not until he can’t stand it anymore. When he does finally let it out, you see a side of him you’ve never seen.

• “I find you captivating. Truly and wholly good, beyond that which I’ve seen in any other human.” Dude has a way with words. He’s unexpectedly slick but in like a Shakespeare type way. “You are beauty unmatched, and I would be honored if you would allow me to court you.”

• yup, I hc that courting is definitely a thing for the Engineers because why not? They be like that

• Being courted by an Engineer is beyond anything you’d experience with another human. You will never want for anything. You are 110% spoiled. You also get the best gifts ever because your boyfriend is literally a member of the most advanced species in the galaxy (possibly the universe?)

• He treats you like a QUEEN bc that’s how he was raised. You will experience a level of love and respect you never thought possible.

• Y’all never argue. He can get snarky and cold but he is very good at not getting worked up and seeing your side of things. He appreciates it very much if you do the same.

• The first time he tells you he loves you is magical. He takes you to some beautiful planet that no other human has ever even laid eyes on and he spills his heart out to you. It will make you cry, I guarantee it.

Nsfw below because I’m a sucker for big sexy humanoids:

• Okay so my hc for the engineers is that they’re literally the type to wait for sex until marriage. Take it or leave it. If you can get the guy to bed you before you tie the knot, good for you, but that will be HARD. The waiting just increases the tension though, so eventually you’ll be testing each other’s limits like teenagers, always going just far enough to feel both wrong and right at the same time.

• When you do finally get at each other, he’s dominant af because of his slight superiority complex and his size

• Despite being dominant, he’s very vanilla at first. If you want something more, you’ll have to open him up to it. And believe me, he’ll eat that shit up because all he’s ever known is being prim and proper and advanced, and he would be so into getting a taste of the more raunchy side of things.

• The kind of dom that takes care of you and pampers you. After he gets used to the less “clean” side of things, he’s also the kind of dom to punish you if you misbehave during the act (it all just depends on his mood and stress level)

• VERY good at foreplay. He’s huge, he has to be.

• would never hurt you but he likes to show off his strength. You’ll be manhandled into positions you didn’t even know were possible.

• Likes to see you ride him, but he’s still in control. His hands will be on your hips pulling you down onto him at a pace that he chooses.

• seems to have a thing for your hair? He likes to pull on it, play with it, run his big ass hands through it, etc.

• Isn’t rough with you but isn’t exactly not rough either? He’s at least double your size and 1000 times stronger than you so his “gentle” isn’t exactly your standard of gentle but it’s not as bruising as it could be. The best way to describe it is strong and steady.

• The engineers have the best, most effective methods of birth control in the galaxy so ofc he’s gonna cum inside you if you are down with it. You will not get pregnant until you wish to be, if you ever do wish to be. Also, there’s no need to worry about STDs because engineers are too advanced for those too so *finger guns* ((side note: I do totally hc that engineers and humans can have viable offspring bc canon says they made humans with their genes. I don’t think it would be too hard for a human to get knocked up by an engineer, the most it may probably take is a little tinkering from the Engineer doctors or whatever. Like I said, whatever you want, your engineer will provide, even if what you want is a little baby with him))

• Leave some marks on this dude in places that will be covered up by his bodysuit thing (?) the next day and he’ll love it. It’s like evidence of some taboo secret you two share, even though it’s not taboo because you’re married. He’s just never heard of a sex life like the two of you share, so primitive and passionate, and it turns him on to have reminders of it on his skin, just underneath his clothes. He’s also really prideful about it, what other Mala’kak has a spouse like his? The new swagger in his step is almost comical but still so hot at the same time.
