Fangtooth VS Kelp
Fangtooth

oof the fangtooth/sturgeon scenes are always so intriguing but painful to watch. i wanted to know - what was fangtooth and sturgeon's relationship like before fangtooth was made lionheart? i'm curious to know if there are any specific reasons/instances that made sturgeon become attracted to her in the first place (other than thinking she was pretty) love the comics btw :)
I don't think they really knew each other before. They probably had like one or two conversations and sturgeon was like 'woagh so pretty' and then hired her so they could become friends.
Unfortunately for sturgeon forcing friendship doesnt work very well when you have like, negative amounts of social skills. And sturgeon becoming fangtooths 'boss' definitely doesnt help. Because now Fangtooth is in a position where she feels she needs to be professional (barring the current scene because she's frustrated with sturgeon disregarding her) and can't truly be herself.
Sturgeon doomed their friendship / anything more the moment she made her a lionheart. Changed the dynamic of something that wasn't even a thing yet.
train crash in slow motion.
(And i do genuinely think sturgeon would have been happy to just be friends with fangtooth. She definitely has a crush on her but she really just craves some sort of bond with someone more than anything. Platonic would be more than enough.)
ok this is so obscure but sturgeon and fangtooth from what lurks beneath are divorced
honestly i love obscure asks. go be a fan of the weird thing with the 3 other fans of that weird thing!!!
Sturgeon and Fangtooth from What Lurks Beneath are Divorced!
The aquatic critter of the day is the Fangtooth Fish, a genus of ray-finned fish! The fangtooth has the largest teeth proportional to its body of any fish! It's teeth are so large that it can't close its mouth. Despite their fearsome teeth, they are primarily filter feeders. Their aquatic name means "Unarmed stomach!"
