If you have Clover living with their monster friends, you gotta play up the differences between their biologies and make Clover look like a genuine freak in their eyes. You just gotta.
Starlo thinks he knows humans soooooooo well because he's watched human movies, yet the split second he sees their nose bleeding from the dry air, he's like "Ah shit. Any sort of bleeding is bad. Is this a fatal amount of blood loss? What do I do??? It just keeps coming out!" Ceroba is like "There can't be that many differences between a monster kid and a human kid. I've already raised one, how hard can another one be?" And then they get the flu, and since disease isn't really a thing with monsters, she's concerned that they're starting to Fall Down (<- okay, this one isn't funny). Martlet finds out that humans need to supplement their diet with things like fiber and iron, but apparently you can't just feed them cut up pieces of cloth and iron filings, that'll kill them. They find out that humans have internal organs and are made of cells and they're be simultaneously disgusted and intrigued. Like, you're made of a bunch of little parts? And those parts make up flesh tubes in your body and stuff? And they're doing their own thing all the time?? Without your awareness??? Does it feel weird????
"Oh, Clover has a 105°F fever but that's only a few degrees higher than how warm they usually are, I'm sure they're fine." <- Deranged statement uttered by one of them at some point.
#i don't think that monsters get diseases/have biology like humans do so all of this stuff is completely foreign to them#for them it's all tied to stuff like mood and the health of their SOUL. a good meal + some love + healing magic will fix most ailments#gonna get super hc heavy here so bear with me.#i hc that monster magic can't fix diseases. only injuries.#also human medicine is toxic to monsters. partially bc they have less mass than a human their size but also bc their bodies#aren't made to process them. a dose of aspirin would make a monster very sick/kill them depending on their size and such.#also human food and monster food are very different. humans who eat monster food will never be sated. they won't feel hunger#pangs but they won't be full either. also it's good for healing injuries but it doesn't have the necessary calories/nutrients to#be sustainable. (i ignore this in instances where Clover stays Underground bc the story of Clover dying via wasting away/vitamin#deficiency is not something i wanna explore myself). meanwhile when monsters eat human food they find it very dense#it's packed with flavor. it doesn't have any magic in it so they can't live off it but they can learn how to eat it with enough time#though their portions are always gonna be a bit small.#it's all a bit dry but i find this stuff interesting.#their friends are so lucky that clover is so damn self-sufficient because oh my god it'd be a disaster otherwise
