#beta biscuit

this was from a scenario where um. basically Thorns had a habit of visiting PU unannounced and disconnecting them from their structure so they'd be forced to take proper rest cycles. This is framed as a bad dream, hence Umbra seeming distressed and hugging biscuit for emotional support. Umbra values their productivity to an unhealthy degree, and they also value their autonomy. They want to be in control of everything at all times. Someone more well-adjusted might just be a little annoyed by this, but to Umbra, it's a terrifying possibility.

I do think TWR definitely does this at some point in main canon; I'm just not sure when. MIP dreams can sometimes be distorted memories or predictions of what's to come.

TWR definitely has mostly good intentions here, she just fails to recognize Umbra's agency as an important factor. Less Rest Cycles = More Emotional Instability and Lessened Efficiency. This can be solved by forcing more rest cycles. More Efficiency is Always Good. Thorns' more rigid thinking can lead to such behavior. (This isn't a healthy way of solving problems, by the way. Communication is good)

sorry some of these are so low quality.
