being in fandom as a lesbian is so funny bc everyone else is posting hornily about your special guys and you absolutely cannot see it at all he just kind of looks like a stick bug but he's a stick bug you want to study under a magnifying glass in a little tank.

you know?

MANTIS

i remember when i was 7 i was on the playground and saw a praying mantis on the wall and got really excited and then suddenly some boy who was 9 or 10 put his foot up and stomped on it an i punched him square in the face as hard as my mighty little fists could and he ended up crying on the concrete. it went on my permanent record (which is otherwise flawless) and is the only reason i didn’t get into the middle school i wanted.

ROUND 3 OF THE BADASS BUG BRACKET BEGINS SOON!

How did Seb get his scars? I see you have him have some so are they from Vicisstude or something else?

Most he got in the ten years between the breakout and becoming the fish man!

The circular scars are injection points. I always liked the ones they used in Resident Evil for Sherry (the movie version) and wanted to use those for Seb. As well as some scars from getting his blood drawn.

And these ones are from him picking off his skin/scratching himself. He had moments where he tried to rip his scales and it left scars.

He also has scarring around his third arm from it forming so quickly. It’s almost like a stretch mark but has the thick scar material.
