A question for the fairies! Why do y'all have legs if you float everywhere? Is it some kindof evolutionary leftover? Or to be more familiar to humans? (Btw I love your series/headcanons, and I love the designs of everyone!)

The reason they have legs is becau-

Oh! Yeah, sure, ok. Go ahead, Cosmo.

Well you heard it here folks!!!! Right from the source!!

was thinking the other day about how parasites are ganondorf’s solution for so many things. now cant unsee him being a massive nerd about parasites

[thunderbottle]

humans collectively have got to fix their grudges against animals/plants/whatever that do parasitism. like are you kidding me. what did the humble cowbird ever do to you

A while back, I briefly mentioned a possible bad ending to the Mandela Prophet au where everyone got infected with the parasite.

Here’s Evelin

"Although commonly mistaken for mermaids, the freshwater parasitic sprite spends all it's life inhabiting the body of a large fish.

Like most common fish species the fry spend their childhood fleeing their mother."

Something a little horror themed for mermay.  I think frequently about a mermaid version of that isopod that lives in the fish's mouth. And I also frequently think about how my platties whom after giving birth immediately started chasing their young.

The struggle is real you guys

The struggle: I want to think of cute age regression/Soul babying Heart and Mind affectionately scenarios but they keep reminding me of age play and making me uncomfortable

i had a character concept idea of a host fused with a parasite so uhh yeah. his name is vessel and he has a big ole parasite on his back named P. NASTY (vessel calls him that). they argue a lot but generally tolerate eachother

[ratcandy]

speaking about the fact that sozo seems the be the only one infected by the unnamed cordyceps-inspired fungus. irl, theres different splits (subgen) of cordyceps and each of them i think can only infect One Type of Host. like irl split subgen of cordyceps that seems to the inspo for sozo's parasite is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, all of them in this subgen can only infect one tribe of ant called Camponotini, and cannot infect any others. i think?? (due to reproductive isolation yadayada) so i always sorta linked it in my head that "oh its only infecting sozo because it can only infect ants or something like that".

[or whatever, take my words with a grain of salt im a random autistic artist who graduated from highschool like two years ago,,,,,, that just happens to have a special interest in biology lol]

Yeah I sorta wondered that as well!! It could be that the type of cordyceps within game is just extremely specified to ant folk, in which case my theories get even more complicated because then anything could be going on there (the menticide itself causing the infection, a separate fungus causing the infection, the mutualistic stuff I mentioned,,,)

I just wasn't totally certain n didn't suggest it being super specialized since 1)

When I was taught very broadly about cordyceps, we were shown images of various insects getting infected from grasshoppers to beetles, so I wasn't certain how many generalized vs. specialized cordyceps were sporin around hdgKJSHG

and 2)

I'm just Not Sure what to make of this in general

Me making a HSR verse for my oc: Hmmm so the plan on this one could maybe be a bad end for her tendency to fuck around and find out—

My brain: So anyways, make her whole deal a fucken horror story-
