Some insectivore (and one rodent) sensory homunculi. The proportionately larger parts represent how much that area is represented in the brain's somatosensory cortex.

Just finished my daughter's birthday cake! It's red velvet with strawberry filling, strawberry buttercream, and milk chocolate ganache.

Claude Bernard's Homunculus Museum, located in Paris, contains the failed results of the famed physiologist's experiments to create artificial human life.
The formaldehyde-preserved bodies were thought to be hoaxes, but a recent analysis has shown them to contain human DNA.

Platonic yandere envy and fox Chimera child reader
are you the same person who request Scar and others??
Taglist [let me know if you want to join! <3]: @yanderefangirl
He/They pronouns, however, Envy is referred to as 'Brother'.
TW: Babying, Infanitilization
For a Chimera! [Reader], they would have to be something like a failed experiment of Father, or perhaps after he made the seven sins, he tried to make more, but could not.
Either way, you would have to know him.
To him, you're just a little baby! Just a lil' guy. They just love how small you are compared to him, [He made himself taller to be bigger than you], how you only spend time with him, [They makes everyone he can avoid you], but somehow you want to spend time with someone else? How could this be?
He would hate that you aren't attached to him like he's attached to you. To you, this is a brother who can transform into animals [typically foxes for you], and you like to play with him but want your own space. But to them? This is a crime, a travesty of the highest regard. So he would obviously fake something so that you would get into trouble by Father, who can catch on, but Father doesn't mind if it means Envy is a little more obedient. So they would make a deal with Father to be more obedient, putting all of his effort into whatever he [Father] wants, so that you suddenly get avoided by everyone who you love, except for him. <3 How could they all betray you? Well don't worry! Big Brother's here to help you feel better!
Envy would likely either make a deal with Father, or take matters into his own hands, although Lust or Wrath, maybe even Pride might find out about that and put an end to it, they like you too after all!
Pride would be Envy's biggest obstacle, since he has to act like a child all the time, he wouldn't mind putting on that persona near [you], which then you need to spend time with Pride, not Envy. It causes a rift between the two, furthering their dislike for the other.
Anyway. His overall feel for a chimera! Reader would be that he wants to be the only other sibling that you depend on, going as far as making a deal with the other sins and perhaps even Father.
Once they have the place to take you home, he's ushering you around, claiming you can't make it without him, embarrassing you to the point where you no longer want to try and go out to see the humans.
They treat you like a baby since you're not one of the main sins, and uses his infantilization of you to make it so you never want to leave Big Brother!
