I regards to the bug smooches headcanons, how does the royal spork pair figure things out between all the sharp pointy bits? What about the issue of bark between Drya and the White lady for that matter?

Oh shit I completely forgot to explain how bug kissing works didn't I (in my defense, I DID say that I'd go over it after I finished my physics hw, and I just did that)

For most bugs, I think kissing would be somewhat of a gentle interlocking of mouthparts? Or some aspect of gentle contact/pressure with mandibles, with more emphasis on this type of interaction being common among predatory bugs, as it is a show of respect and trust. For those with a proboscis, twining tongues (or would it be closer to elephants holding trunks?) is probs more common than nibbling on each other, but the general 'gentle mouthhug' aspect still comes into play. It's less like how humans press lips and more like holding hands, but with your face, and gentle massaging/pressure/grooming movements are also applied bc contact nice. If the gesture is initiated on another part of the body, like the cheek or the forehead, then there's a high chance that it may actually devolve into grooming, because that's just another form of affection- but I digress.

For PK and Lurien, things are admittedly a little bit complicated due to the discrepancies between their forms. PK's got the full predator build, with a complex mesh of mandibles all flexing about all over, while Lurien, as an anthro butterfly, has a proboscis and very rudimentary mouthparts left over from his caterpillar days. So for them, learning how to kiss was a learning process, where each had to find some balance with what the other wanted- PK wanted to gently lock mandibles and stroke them, with some gentle nibbles thrown in, while Lurien's more of the nuzzling and twining tongues kind of guy; if he tries to nibble PK, that activates his grooming instinct more than the 'look at me purposefully not hurting you bc i love you' thing PK has going on. I figure that after they're more settled, though, they would come to a compromise between the two where they sort of shift between trying to grab and stroke each other's mandibles and twining tongues based on mood/whether or not PK's prey drive is easy to activate (because him sticking out his tongue usually means he's either scenting someone or he's about to bite/lick something, so it can either activate his prey drive or his mating instinct)

For WL and Dryya, bark isn't actually much of an issue! I headcanon Dryya to be a mantis and for WL to have a mouth with a rudimentary jaw and radula (like a snail, kind of), so their kisses are close to gently exchanged nibbles on each other. Mantids are a nippy species, and WL's got a mouth that can emulate that sort of gentle pressure, so it works out for them. WL having tough bark and a somewhat raspy mouth is actually better in Dryya's case, because that means she has the reassurance of not accidentally piercing something delicate, while getting kissed in return feels like being gently groomed or nibbled in return

#have u ever been nibbled on gently by a snail #bc thats what wls kisses feel like #v gentle and loving but a lil raspy #hollow knight #palewatcher #royal spork #the pale king #lurien the watcher #the white lady #wl/dryya #we still need a shipname for those to hmm #i feel like something flower related could fit #hk #anon #reply #bug worldbuilding

Can you tell me about all the (main) characters of TINASW?? :D

Absolutely!

MC/POV:

Cash - Former Bounty Hunter, Human (Black but for the purposes of the story ethnicity is not important except for how you’re picturing the character!) Wears all black including her stetson (don’t look too deep into this, yes my inspirations are transparent, shut up) except for her ‘bandana’ which is red (bandanas are actually ‘macrofiber’ breathing filters but *aesthetic*. She’s a whole lesbian. Used to run a crew but won’t talk about it. The fact that she has to recruit a whole new crew for this story can give you some idea of why she retired. She’s very flirty and gruff on the outside but she’s clearly got a soft side she keeps heavily protected. Rides a ‘horse’ which is actually just a hover-motorcycle that she turns on with the custom spurs on her boots. She’s a gunslinger, duh. She now runs a successful Moonshine Operation (Moonshine is actually distilled through exposure to a specific type of deadly radiation and her process is her best kept secret and makes it the best in the galaxy) and begins the story essentially a hermit on ‘the ridge’ which is mostly occupied by her and a menage of deadly wildlife. Eventually gets an eyepatch but no spoilers (eye emoji).

LOVE INTEREST:

Boss - Human (haven’t really decided what she looks like yet) Runs the Casino named “Sweet Water”. She’s a bisexual Former Sex worker (which is how she met Cash). Picture her like an Irene Adler type. Devastatingly beautiful and even more cunning. Pre-story she settles down with a banker/developer and has a child with him. She inherits his fortunes after his death and uses that money to start Sweet Water which is the only Casino to be able to stand up to the pressure from Calvera the only other Casino in Lead Belly (the only city on al-Sufi). She is an accomplished singer and still takes the stage every once and awhile. Her fashion is classic western debutante with a sci-fi twist.

CREW:

Gideon: Vox (little anthro-fox aliens that are nomadic space pirates) - Thief, is involved because she tried to steal from Boss and got caught. In exchange for commuting her sentence she agrees to do this job (joke is that they approach her with this offer literally as she is breaking out of the jail). in it for the challenge.

Csy: Therian (shapeshifter, non-binary/aromantic) - The Con, is involved because they live for the drama(tm). Is a b-list actor who does a lot of "serious" theater but can't seem to make it into film.

Asimov: (Cyborg, an organic race that fused with tech after a devastating plague, no more can be created but they live a looooong time) - Go Go Gadget, had to be convinced to be involved. Is really in it for the money and probably the one with the shakiest commitment to the heist. He runs a scrapyard which is kind of like being an undertaker for a Cyborg and is kind of macabre.

Tate: Jotun (4 armed lizard giants) - The muscle, involved because he owes Cash one from back in her bounty hunter days. It's implied she was supposed to kill him and didn't. Tate is Asexual which is one of the only reasons he’s alive at his age because the females of his species decapitate their mates like preying mantis.

Can your male werewolves get pregnant? Also in the animals au can the ppl who are part seahorse get pregnant? And are ppl afraid of being with a preying mantis female lol

I had not planned on male werewolves getting pregnant, no, but I guess I’m open to the idea. I mean, werewolves exist, so…

In the anthro au, fish and insect people don’t exist, sorry!
