Dumb question but I’m wondering does Sam actually control how her extra arms emote? Or do they move reflexively??? Hope that makes sense! ^^;

We move our arms both purposefully and reflexively in turn, and so does Sam! It depends on the situation. All of them are her arms, functioning just as arms usually do. The only strange thing is that she's got six of them.

Anonymous asked: I never realized how low Sam’s lowest pair of arms were, do they reach her ankles?

Not quite, I think. But close! They stop around her calves when she doesn't move them. Greatly approximating, her lowest set of arms starts about a foot down from her highest, so take a 12 inch (~30 cm) ruler and hold it with the tips of your fingers. The bottom edge of the ruler is around where Sam's lower arms end!

((Glad to hear it! ^^))

Sam: But I don't like going to the gym or anything?

((Uh, that's not exactly... Does she think all shonen protagonists go to the gym?? Some of them don't even do real training arcs...))
