The human body is such bullshit, I hate having to google shit like "why am I having stress symptoms when there are no sources of stress in my life".

The human body is such bullshit, why is it possible for me to accidentally get a chunk of ham in my nasal cavity.

^ blame this dude for the connects

That area is your choanae, your internal nostrils. And Kenichthys here is the one to blame for why they're inside your mouth rather than below your eyes.

Most fish have 2 pairs of nostrils; 1 front pair to let water in, and a back pair to let water out. Our ancestor here is the transition point where the rear nostrils went from outside the mouth to inside. It's rear nostrils are in the tooth-row! As for what ecological pressure made that arrangement advantageous I have no idea. I'm no fishologist but if I were to hazard a guess it may have something to do with being able to force water through the nasal sack via the mouth or gills rather than just swimming

It's possible to get ham stuck in your nasal no-ham zone because evolution doesn't make animals perfect, it makes them good-enough. And at one point having your 2nd nostrils in line with your teeth was good enough.

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

Matching your freak is beautiful and all but what you really need is a boy who's infatuated with your freak. Down bad for your freak. Deeply intrigued by your freak. Eager to see more of your freak. Supportive of your freak. Gets bricked up witnessing your freak, even.
