awe man u got to it before me

the impolite ver is similar to hunching or resting ur arms on dinner tables

id also like to add that sometimes sharks will shun other sharks from different species based on what they see as proper or improper and differing traits so shark racism basically i want my shark/sea creature world to parallel our human one as much as possible and unfortunately racists exist (yuck) i feel like this is the best way to portray it

going for beastars but underwater

thats all for tonight

hammerhead etiquette is popular with the flipanim hivemind it seems

going to add onto this MORE by saying that as time goes on hammerheads are less and less bothered by the 'impolite' posture and its becoming normalized in the hammerhead community, similar to tattoos and piercings older hammerheads tend to hold on to this tradition tho

with highly respected or influential hammerheads its still common and widely known that they will not have the 'impolite' posture

there are different species of hammerhead but for simplicity's sake im only using one combined species and since most hammerheads have distinct nose shapes depending on which type they are im gonna use that for all the different nose shapes in this single collective species

also also hammerheads are stereotyped as aggressive (which they are not) by us humans so im incorporating that into this as well as more shark racism
