#so i kinda wish there was something that wasnt easy linked to any existing species and could only be assumed as an entirely new thing

While I do like the smaller ways in which the changing ecology of the world was shown i wish soooooo bad that Saint had some sort of exclusive species that wasn’t a lizard variant. I’ve fiddled with designs for one myself but it feels like a great time to introduce some sort of encroaching mammal species as a suggestion that things have begun to spread from ‘outside’ their ranges rather than just straightforward adaptation & extinction. Like the fact that everything is still pretty close to its original form makes things feel... smaller than I intentional I think. Like it accidentally gives a sort of ‘bubble’ feeling to RW’s area rather than making it feel like a slice of a larger changing world when things change so massively but everything there is still kinda what was always there
