you know. one thing that i don't think i'll be including in caecilian, even though it's almost certainly happening and kinda funny to me, is the fact that aaravi would be having SUCH a bad time after having eaten nothing but meat for a week straight. the most plants merfolk eat are basically derived algae broths and the equivalent of the seaweed wrapping on sushi. they have no grains. they have no fruits. they have no vegetables. they only have meat. it's just meat. aaravi would get out of the merkingdom with horrible gastric distress and for the next month she eats healthier than she has ever eaten before in her life. she would weep at the taste of a carrot.

meanwhile, even just the little bit that aaravi and bellanda get miranda to eat during the visit would be making her feel SO much better. even if she gets just a little bit of blubber, that alone would help her perk up so much.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#miravi.txt #i'm smiling because i eat skin: the fic #now aaravi knows. now aaravi knows how miranda feels.#i love putting people in the reverse of miranda's situation #now they know how much being inland is kinda passively torturing her #miranda was not made to eat bread or nibble on fruit she needs to crunch bones #unfortunately. guess what most land food is.#miranda has her staff and she has the resources to make merfolk food but. shes also. a disaster. in many ways.#........... also again this feels like an easier mistake for the obligate carnivore to make than the omnivore #the omnivore knows she needs to balance between meat and other stuff in her diet and that eating only meat feels Real Bad #the obligate carnivore doesnt know the land food is planning to hurt her
