there are 43 mlw covers and 5 lgbt+ covers (one of which is a loading screen so techincally not a cover. ) that’s approximately 5% of all choices book covers 👩‍🏫

i also found some obscure categories that have more covers than LGBT+

holiday specials: 8 covers

topless men: 12 covers

men wearing white: 12 covers

people kissing/ about to kiss: 13 covers

books with ‘romance’ in the title: 6 covers

books with snow on the cover: 6 covers

For a basis, I imagine all Inkfish have cells called chromatophores in their tentacles, which are cells that produce color and pigmentation. This is what real life octopuses do for camouflage!

So my headcanon is that their are specially made dyes that affect those chromatophores to produce specific colors and saturations (Like, maybe the cells absorb the dyes and keep the color for a bit but eventually fade like real hair dye). So for an old fellow like Mr Anchor, he'd get dyes that increase saturation and vibrancy. And maybe there are different brands an qualities of dyes too that last longer.

Okay, Imma stop there. Hopefully that gave you some ideas. Been a long time lurker of this comic, it's such a treat to see!

I don't know that much about inkfish biology (I should look into it more 💔💔)
