Castella gets mad, swears, doesn't take crap even when embarassed, and likes him-Scarlet has more physical development, but is super clingy.
Yep, he went *tilt* at Atsali-but he might have seen Castela punch the wall before he left. As a lion type, could he see her as the more formidable female predator, and be attracted to her because of that?
Eh, it's going to be interesting to see what happens next. I'm wondering just what a hurt Scarlet might do...not all fights are physical.

Even with Timmy being "part wolf", punching the wall was still an alpha display . . .

So Timothy likes dangerous Women and is fascinated with boobs? He and I would get along... does he enjoy shooting?

Not wolves or lions, i would assume.

I dunno. Atsali has proven(?) that you can't hide excess breasts, but the ursamorphs seem to have proven that you can make larger breasts appear where none exist. Maybe she just wants to look like a 4th grader.

i dunno, again at any rate, atsali might not be able to hide her breasts, because she is a siren/succubus. since both sides of her heritage have ... sexual powers, it might be different for her, than for the ursamorphs. if an ursamorph can morph into a jumpsuit for someone, then they can surely move ... uhm ... excess fat tissue around as well.

From the beginning, Atsali has stated that her chest is now part of her base form. She cannot reduce them.

It also looks to me like Scarlet stays about the same size, whether in human form or not. So I'm guessing that the glamour they use merely changes the surface appearance, as well as hides horns, tails, and other non-human traits, but does not really alter the size much. Unless you're a fae, or some other mythological creature whose normal size is way off from the typical human size. Then the size is definitely altered. Other than that, it's mostly just camouflage, from what I can tell.

The ursamorphs are a category in and of themselves, since they can change their shape so completely. Therefore, I don't think we can use them as an example of what can be done with glamour.

Atsali is not as versatile as the ursamorphs, she has only 3 or 4 shapes she can change to, plus a size change..

Much respect to young master Timmy, to be able to be hugged like that by Scarlet and still remember he wants to be a study buddy with Pickle. Of course his exposure to Atsali may have rendered him immune to the temptation of Scarlet.

I would guess not immunity, but increased resistance.

Consider the mermaids.

I"m not at my computer at the moment, so i can't provide the image, but when Jessie goes full tuna, her legs become an actual tail, which rips the bottom of her human-style swimsuit right out; and in the art piece of her inher full aspect that Paul did, going by her known suze as a human, alonvside Atsali, she has to be AT LEAST eight feet long, nose to tail-tip.

Yeah, I think there are two different phenomena taking place. There's actual form-change, such as mermaids go through when switching to an aquatic form, and which Atsali goes through when switching to her avian and warbird forms. The ursamorphs are probably the "gold standard" when it comes to actual form-change. In the case of the ursamorphs, at least, form-change seems to include mass-change as well.

Then, there's "glamour", which in western-mythology traditions is a perceptual illusion. Either the viewer actually sees something different (an optical illusion) or their interpretation of what they see is shifted (a psychological illusion). In English mythology (and I think French as well), the Fae were notorious for using glamour to seduce humans - "charming" humans with their glamorous beauty and desirability. "Fairy gold" was worthless material (pebbles or leaves), glamoured to appear to be precious metal... and touching it to cold iron would break the spell and reveal its true nature.

From what we've seen, I think the younger paras are being trained to use one or the other, or both, depending on what they're capable of. The ultimate goal is to not be recognized as non-human.

Okay but my lesbian filter has seriously been going haywire during Scarlet and Castela's interactions. I'm not alone am I?

.... not at all to be unexpected with Mr. Taylor's work- but somehow I doubt this is the case...

It doesn't feel right . . . this is more that they aren't quite sure how to interact properly.

I dunno, like I said, probably just my lesbian filter seeing things that aren't there.

But it's just like, two examples, the first page with Scarlet, how close the two seemed to be up until then. And then the last panel of yesterdays, Scarlet didn't blush at all when she asked Timothy if he wanted to be her study buddy, even with her supposed word mix up, which just seems a bit trying to hard to me. Yet when she announces that she asked to Castela, which I'm not sure why she'd even do that, but then there she is in fact blushing, as is Castela, who isn't looking at poor crushed Timothy but at Scarlet.

Like I said, imagining it, very possible, but.

I think it's better suggested by the previous explanation where Scarlett and Tim-bob grew up together, and despite his obvious attraction to the tumbleweed, the Foxy-gal thinks he's 'hers' before all others...

I think it was Scarlet trying to stake a claim, so Castela would back away.

Unfortunately for that plan, Timothy had his own ideas.
