I've had this idea of a monster roommate/lover/partner/friend that is very symbioate based but actually doesn't merge with you...they just kinda mooch off your presence.
A big, colourful, stringy mess of tiny organisms that sit in the corner of your home and just exist. They feed off your warm, cozy home by vibes alone.
You share your meals with them. Watch TV together. And on cold nights, the tangle of an organism slips under the covers for warmth.
Imagine a housecat! But in an eldridge-y, an uncomprehensable alien type of creature that really likes your company but does their own thing alot of the time.
Some days your living room is a body horror type of scene with many fleshy limbs stringing between walls because they needed to stretch out.
Other times, the bath is full of a shimmering mass and steaming hot water. Which means they're having a self-care day.
Some days you don't see them at all. But the constant pressure against your skin lets you know they're still around. They just needed some "me time."
No real thought train here other than I think this idea is cute.
