This should have been my first sign that wandering the Glowing Sea was a bad idea. It wasn't the horrible radiation or the violent storms. It was the big, glowing bugs.

This was my second sign.

This is the result of my poor actions.

“A Boy inside The Deadly Mantis Movie”

[genuflectx]

“Vervain is a member of a hyper intelligent, overgrown mantid species. Born as a large, egg-laying mantis, he realizes he is trans after meeting a human, and changes to he/him. Vervain is quiet and thinks before speaking Despite this, other mantids don’t usually like the things he says. He is obsessed with watching and learning about humans. His interest his both from curiosity and later, once grown, basal desire, though he tries to hide it. For his species, Vervain is basically an exophile.”

“G. clypeum and it's sister species, G. pseudofoli have several adaptations to their gigantism. Including, but not limited to: total flightlessnes, single-pupil eyes, extra toes, speech-capable mouths/throats, and larger forearms.“

“Parts of the mouth have fused together. This makes human-like speech available, however sounds with the lips & teeth will not sound as accurate to human speech. Ex: "V"  and "F" sound more like "B" and "P"“

“Egg sacks are no longer protective when you're giant; to reduce visibility, eggs are laid in smaller clutches inside of hollow stumps, trees, or other crevices. Small, warm places preferred. Ovipositors are sticky, wet, and sensitive. This includes the inner canal. Pleasurable coupling developed alongside complex socialization.“

Released from early access on Patreon :D don’t forget the 1st two chapters of his novella are up on Patreon as well, and should release publicly next month.
