Ok so, here’s a funky fact: in the early evolution of fish, the claspers (reproductive organs still present in modern sharks) actually began as a genuine third pair of limbs. Sooo what if instead of becoming purely reproductive, the claspers instead developed into full on legs.

Aunty Sugar, the self-described Queer Butch Bull-Dyke Elder we adopted after the fire, asked me if I could get TikTok on her Roku today because she wanted me to see this awesome new TikToker she had found. Imagine my surprise when you popped up on her phone screen.
