Hey can you help me understand a thing about wasp and bee anatomy? I know that their stingers are modified ovipositors, but where are their genitalia in relation to it? I cant seem to find a diagram that shows both things at once. Unless they are not different structures and I'm getting confused about what an ovipositor is?

You're correct, stingers are modified ovipositors , and female insects are inseminated through a separate opening from the one they lay eggs through (though they are accessed through the same external opening). This should clear it up:

Note that these structures are also present in nonbreeding workers, with the exception of the spermatheca (sperm storage organ)! They can lay eggs, they just can't store sperm to fertilize those eggs, so they yield only males. (Not counting whatever's going on with cape bees.)

You did a wonderful job with Xenia's route. It's one of the few stories that I bought all heart options for. Great work!

Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it <3

“like if the art directors (COUGH COUGH TAKEUCHI) did their job...”

That's the big problem with Fate, right. The writing and art appear to come from very different places at times, and it can be hard to take the writing seriously when it's being carried out by characters who were designed putting fanservice first instead of their historic inspiration.

for real, sometimes the writing is a lot inconsistent. i know comedy and jokes are fine once in a while but sometimes it’s just way too much and kills the mood right

and i’m not saying fgo’s writing is perfect (it isn’t, there’s a lot of flaws i’m willing to be outspoken on) but the thing is it’s hard to introduce folks to something that’s GENUINELY great and fun when the visible layer, the visible part of the iceberg is off putting

I mean, I doubt the DCs for those things were below 10 anyway

Nott’s check would’ve been a 15 though! She could’ve learned something! >:(

Does living in space or on planets with different season patterns mess up with the centaurs' antler growth cycle?

Haha YEP, their antler cycle is controlled by a combination of daylight hours and dietary changes, and because co-ed living spaces in RttS tend to have mild seasons (human/avian-centric) or no seasons (ferret-centric) the cycle can get very out of wack. It usually manifests as irregularly long periods with or without antlers, rapid cycling (growing and dropping antlers more than once a year), or antler deformations. Talita has had issues with it her whole life, nothing too serious though. Mostly just unpredictable cycling.

considering how far Matt put that white dragon and that she’s specifically here for it, I’m assuming she’ll be around for more than one episode… unless they have a way to jump all those miles in a flash

and she is going to be around here next week indeed! :o

I was so worried, thinking “Oh no, is this going to be like Noele situation where the guest barely got to do anything?”

@peketostuffs  yeah I totally get it, but it’s so hard when you binge watch :D
