#technopaths

Sorry for my lack of existence anygays here's my headcanons about technopaths

When they're tired, they'll sometimes blur elf speak and tech speak, so their speech sounds like a blend of indistinguishable babble and binary code and dial-up sounds

A really powerful technopath can convince simple devices to carry out simple tasks by themselves instead of the technopath having to do that. what it looks like to others is a technopath walking into a room, staring at a lightbulb for a few seconds, and then the lightbulb turning on on its own

When they're trying really hard, instead of just having glowing runes, their fingertips and veins will also glow.

They're more likely to be autistic than other elves because their brains are wired to communicate with tech

Radios sometimes project directly into their heads (like they'll hear radio transmissions inside their minds)

They can't pass RE-CAPTCHA (Are you a robot?) tests because their brains won't let them

They're better at using ancient tools than modern tech

They're considered very sentimental and can sometimes become hoarders, as they have a hard time letting go of material objects due to being able to communicate with certain objects

In their ability sessions, young technopaths spend a long time learning how to draw so that they can make good blueprints

They can also see visual blueprints in their minds

Technopaths can handle higher voltages than most elves, but not nearly as much as Chargers can tolerate

Similar to how Sophie projects memories into her journal, technopaths can project memories onto screens with the proper training

Technopaths are often dyslexic (difficulty writing and reading) because their brains are wired for tech speak

They're also often fidgety with their hands, and find comfort when holding tech pieces like gears or wires, even if they aren't actively building with them

AI feels weird to them -- because it's meant to interface with normal people, when technopaths try to interface with it, they end up feeling like they're interacting with a machine that acts more like a person. tech that doesn't act like tech. Most technopaths avoid it, but some are drawn to play with it more.

Even if a device is turned off, they can sense where it is, meaning you can't hide secret switches or devices from them if they're in the room with you

With a lot of struggle, powerful technopaths can temporarily "enter" another gadget, a lot like how Fitz and sophie can enter people's minds

Similar to the lightbulb one if they had phones they could text without touching the screen (this would be easier for them than the lightbulb thing, so most technopaths would be able to do this no matter their skill level)

Instead the first technopath was a talentless elf who was really good with tech. They went to foxfire and when they realized they were talentless and would probably get thrown out of school they made up the lie that their tech skills were actually an ability. The nobility believed them.

Other tech smart people began to say they manifested as a technopath. Some were also talentless. Some just thought they were talentless even though if they hadn’t said they already manifested they would have manifested a softens ability.

Eventually people people who say they manifested are 100% sincere that they believed they were technopath. Occasionally one talentless tech smart elf would come along a lie about it to stay in school but most believed that they actually have a special ability.

Dex is one of those people. But when keefe goes to test him and other technopath s so he know what to look for in future technopath kids he realizes they’re all talentless. Instead of telling the council and actrosizing multiple people he lies to them. To most of the general public except his friends. Including Dex.

is that right... I'm down.

But is the rest of the greater fandom council down?

Here’s another aesthetic, this one for Dex! I’m quite proud of this one, I hope that you like it :) 

As always, feel free to reblog, just give me credit. 

I take requests! 

I know this one is going to be way longer then the first so let’s make this intro short.. 

Season 2 of every Spyder moment where he not so subtly revealed some information about his past aka “The Ultimate Spyder Angst Post Part 2″

P.S. There will be less text in this post because there will be so many gifs.

I’m at a weeklong camp (no phone policy and in a different country) so I won't be able to watch the new episode until Saturday night : (
