My AU thoughts + dumb meme
kinda based on this comment↓
In my head I call those pathways "bigborns" and "smallborns". I will use them further in the text, I hope it won't be inconvenient
So basically we have two pathways for insects and most likely other similar arthropods (I will use insects as an example):
Bigborns - The insect characters have been large all their lives, like all the inhabitants of PaRappatown, and perhaps never even thought that in the ordinary sense insects are small. (Examples are canon characters - MC King Kong Mushi and Cathy Piller)
Smallborns - Characters that correspond to our concept of insects, that is, small in size. Examples are most of my OCs - Akiko, Aiden and Richard.
But there is an interesting situation, namely characters who are smallborns, but became large in size, maybe even against their will, like Guru Ant or Pollen(my OC).
It also suggests that there may be characters with the opposite situation (bigborns, who became tiny). Personally, I haven't seen anyone with characters like this, but maybe someone will use this idea after I reflect on it 🤔
If you have your own thoughts on this matter, don't hesitate to write. 😊👋
