(no, the .gif of 3 month old hippo Fiona at the Cincinnati zoo will never get old) Nile hippopotami are the deadliest large mammal in Africa, but they don’t eat humans; however, living in crocodile infested waters has given them a “bite first ask question later” approach to humans unfortunate enough to encroach on their territory. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of chaos Set took the form of a hippopotamus to sink Horus’ boat, and noisy hippos played a role in folklore, that eventually led to the Thebans Egyptians expelling the Hyksos from the delta. Male hippopotamuses were generally seen as chaotic/feared for their power and needing to be contained (hence statues like the famous “William” of the metropolitan museum of art having 3 of his legs broken, so he wouldn’t harm Senbi’s spirit), but female hippopotamuses could be revered as aspects of protective goddesses because of the way they defend their calves. Ferocity/power and defending their territory to the death feels very Hannibal and Aegor Rivers to me.

By that I don’t think Grace isn’t some variant of asexual. I read him as demisexual because he mentions a past relationship, but I watched it with my friend who’s asexual and aromantic and she read him as asexual but alloromantic. It was especially the way he looked at Eva during the karaoke scene that made her believe he was developing romantic feelings for her and she was a bit weirded out when I told her some people interpret it as more of a mother/son relationship.

We did joke “this is the result when an asexual man and an autistic woman fall in love” and honestly I love that for them.

I spent almost an entire work shift drawing this tooth-rotting fluff

Someone to be brave for.

...and then proceeds to spend the whole chapter being grumpy about gravity, of all things.
