do their tails wag when they're happy to see each other?
Of course! It'd be such a waste to have dog people with perfectly good tails and not have them reflect their emotions.
The way I see it, tail wagging is a lot like smiling or laughing, it's innate to the species, even babies know how to do it and it's meaning is the same across cultures. When it's genuine it happens instinctually, but if you really need to, you can try to force or supress it. Whether or not it's proper etiquette to wag your tail depends on the situation, it's a normal part of socialization between friends for example, but on formal surroundings you're expected to show modesty and have enough restraint to control your emotions.
after that pic they both faceplanted, 3 on top of 4.
"|I dare you to do pushups like this.|"
"BET"
She gets to a grand total of five before collapsing.
3 rolls off her, with a smug grin. "|I wonder how youre able to manage fighting with rollers with that strength, scrawny tentacles.|"
"I DONT
ALSO WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME????"
Going verbal just to mess with her 3 calls out.
"Scrawny Tentacles~!! Scrawny tentacles~!"
"COME BACK HERE YOU SQUIT"
4 starts chasing them -- but the way they move is noticably patterned in a way so 4 can practice turning quickly while firing a weapon.
...thats honestly how they shouldve continued with her. They used to be close friends until they had to part ways for 4 to follow her college dreams.
Back then, 3 was more playful, even after Tartar (though noticably reduced compared to pre-Tartar)
...something changed as in them as they got older. They believe in themself and everyone else's capabilities/potential just the same, but theyre more disciplined in their approach.
Maybe they lost that playfulness, now that theyre directly responsible for everyones lives.
i think my favorite thing about tim and bernard is just how in love tim is with bear. usually in civilian x hero relationships the civilian is always way more in love with the hero than vice versa. but with tim and bernard, tim is sooo fuckin gone for bear, it almost stops being cute and borders on lame. pathetic even.
The way Phaya loves Tharn and Chalothon just wants to own him and is absolutely willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to get that goal...
Tiny Phaya wrapped up in the Naga and the dreams and things he doesn't fully understand but cannot escape and and then the way it's the amulet that saves him again and again and Tharn's love that protects him.
