lobsters do die normally but they have an enzyme to help repair their dna by adding end sequences which prevents genetic deterioration (telomerase) and also it’s sort of already kind of hard to age guess them anyways because they shed their exoskeleton so like in a SENSE…. they do have some interesting things that make them live longer and feel immortal…. also i think it would be fun to have marleau as larry the lobster from spongebob LMAO
there’s also the immortal jellyfish so marleau could in theory be them too…
i am FULLY seeing the vision of marly as larry the lobster from spongebob...marly the lobster if you will...
marly shedding his exoskeleton for each new lifetime he spends with a reincarnation of ilya, but marly fundamentally staying the same...ooh absolutely i love it
i think i would need more convincing on immortal jellyfish marly though...to me he would need to feel more solid. i am fully sold on marly the (basically) immortal lobster now lol
