monday & queenie

[nerves-nebula]

the character now has seborrheic dermatitis . forever

[nerves-nebula]

feel like the most common genders i give my characters are "bigender she/he" and "third gender and/or i don't care (they/them or it/its usually)"

but also "priest" since i have a technically unknown amount of characters whose gender is just "priest"

I love when characters explain the symbolism of their names in universe and that’s why one day I wanna have my character Queenie tell my character Monday about how it’s a common misconception that Queen butterflies are an example of batesian mimicry (in which a harmless species mimics the actually toxic/gross tasting species: ie monarch butterfly) but scientific studies show it’s probably more likely that queen butterflies also taste bad and therefore this is actually an example of mullerian co-mimicry (where things that are both dangerous/poisonous/toxic look like each other)

Ok actually it’s a bit more complicated cuz I think queens were considered mimics of viceroys who were considered mimics of monarchs but there’s like a handful of butterflies in that one mimicry ring alone so give me a break

oh yea they brought up mullerian vs batesian mimicry rings last class and i was omgg... i KNOW these ones... cuz i was researching them for my insect-based characters..
