you know what... i'm going to start going by the philosophy of 'my circus, my monkeys' more often BC like? we are all only really playing barbies on here, anyway, so i might as well do what i want as long as i'm not hurting anyone and have as much fun with things as possible as a result — you know?? so, among my list of muses to add is a new muse, and that is an eldritch-like creative that basically has what they display to the world (which is a pretty normal, human-like appearance) as only being a part of their ACTUAL body as an example of mimicry to fit in with the masses as what they actually are is a beast made up of dozens of hands + if i were being honest with you all...
it's somewhat safer for them to be representing itself using the human looking appendage they have because, believe it or not, the mass of hands that they are actually made of is SUPER sensitive and therefore more liable to being hurt. so, yeah. though i feel like they also get to experience life itself more richly than it ever would be able to as that mass of hands because i think that what level of consciousness and types of sensations they are able to experience is different, but it's mass of hands is still delicate, as i mentioned earlier; like their hands would logically never be able to experience tasting something because it doesn't have a mouth on its normal body and thus, doesn't consume thing's like humans do anywhere other than it's tail (i think that it would be interesting to have it 'power up' underneath moonlight and/or starlight and thus, when shielded from the sky in some way, the main body could definitely feel weaker if it didn't conserve enough energy from it for a day or so).
so yeah, UHHH, it may take me a bit to come up with a name for this creature but i like it already :3
