i think the chameleon color change aspect of their skin from exoddus was like. retconned in the soulstorm canon, but regardless of that i do think that they slowly change color as they age and depending on various factors, such as environmental changes, health, stress, ect.

i feel like, technically, advertisements and such using crimps - who are often objectified and sexualized despite being devoid of personal sexuality - would be in opposition of the blanket ban on all sexual suggestiveness that keeps scrubs 'undistracted'. however: capitalism (and especially fascist-leaning strains (COUGH america rn COUGH)) looooves putting huge amounts of subconscious sexual suggestiveness in advertising, as advertisement is in itself a fucked up kind of psychological science. so i feel like in some places but Not All places they would be showing ads and such that feature crimp spokesmuds/eye candy. and in that case i think scrubs would mostly idolize and envy the life of a 'domestic' (city-dwelling personal servant within the umbrella of what crimps signify) as a much easier, borderline luxurious life, not understanding yet that it is in some ways Much Worse. a few, however, would have the right idea that being a doll isn't the same as being a person.

crimps themselves however view scrubs as the most pitiful excuses for mudokons they've ever seen. somewhere between pity and contempt, domestic and ornamental muds tend to avoid factory and service worker muds whenever possible. they represent a much bleaker fate than they believe they themselves have.

Was wondering, is it makeup she applies herself or a permanent mark? You drew her escaped older version as having grown out feathers and a headband, does she wear the band to cover the mark?

She's Abe if he was a spiritual leader who liked doing terrorism and I respect that.

yeah she does kinda got the furiosa vibes dont she. its been fun watching her deviate from dnd/bg3 verse howler

also the cartel logo is a tattoo; the slave breaking/training ('corrective') facility she belonged to put it in a very obvious and damning place, not only to make it harder to blend in with others if she escapes but to give her a constant reminder of the people that own her. post-revolts shes more likley to cover it up than trying to remove/deface it. she holds a certain pride about surviving the permanent disfigurements her captors inflicted on her.

there were only a couple other survivors/captures from the raid on their camp that got her, and she got to watch them all die off one by one in captivity by mistreatment/abuse/general culling practices. if they saw her now, they wouldn't recognize her, and they definitely wouldn't associate with her.
