No, I have not forgotten that Lotus' mom is a carpenter and also a literal sentient ship. Mentioned only once. In a 2018 teaser trailer. Where she was seemingly alive. But is now seemingly dead. We (I) did NOT forget that lore tidbit
#The Lotus#Praghasa#TennoCon#glad the lead writer and the creative director Rebecca Lotus Ben Starr Ford also remember#and are asking the real questions like ‘‘wait so Hunhow... and the ship....’’#but I think you all are forgetting the most important part: HUNHOW GAVE BIRTH TO NATAH#I know gender doesn't really matter to Sentients but like. Mpreg still#and Erra was there watching her ‘‘as she was lifted‚ screaming from the manifold’’#invoking the imagery of a baby being lifted from his father's MANifold in the hospital tbh#literal and metaphorical carpenter. she literally ingested material‚ broke it down‚ and built new things#in fact her entire body seems to have been built in that 'absorb' → 'repurpose' → 'build myself up'/'build for new worlds'#and potentially 'build an army through parthenogenesis/fragmentation' like sea stars or sponges or cacti#which is distinct from giving birth to real offspring 'like Erra and Natah‚ who were born to Hunhow btw'
