#temporal lobe

Andrew,Tem,Esthe,Audax

andrew is based off from the giant vietnamese centipede (scolopendra denhaai) but I often refer to them as Malaysian cherry red centipede because why not

usually,the GVC is brown or yellowish orange but in his case it's cherry red because he's actually based off the same centipede i caught a year back which was obviously the GVC but cherry red.The red accents in his color palette also represents the cherry red centipede

his fangs are moderately venomous,but they inflict maximum pain enough to send a grown,handsome,soldier down to the floor whining

Audax is mainly based off the bold jumper (phidippus audax) and it's last name in its scientific name is how he got his name

but in reality,personality is like a bold jumper,extra intelligence because he's also a portia,and venom like a Sydney funnel web.Im a atheist but,god forbid he bites you.

Tem's body built looks exactly like Melissa King from The Pitt

Those weird things behind her head are just tufts

Esthe,as the parietal lobe,experiences the same pain as the host.For example,if the host gets a painful prick from a needle,she will feel the same only instead the needle is not causing it.Just straight up imaginary pain but if feels too real.

Turns out it could be. Speech comprehension and speech production both occur in the Temporal Lobe. However names and pronouns seem to activate different parts of the Temporal Lobe. Names seem to be in the anterior temporal lobe. According to this study called Cortical processing of reference in language revealed by computational models pronouns are in the medial temporal lobe. Now this mostly has to do with pronouns being similar to memory retrieval because we see a phrase like "Rosie is coming over here. I heard she likes flowers" The human brain will see the text "she" and go wait who is that, oh its Rosie. Still fascinating that names and pronouns are in different areas of the Temporal Lobe and could explain the different times it takes to adjust both names and pronouns.

My other way less educated theories are people already go by multiple names commonly so its easier to switch someones name. Think of all the nicknames we give each other. Just take being online my IRL friends call me egg anytime we are online despite them knowing my name. Or like if you call your grandfather something like "papa" and your parents refer to them with their full name both of you still know who you are referring to as that person has multiple names. So when someone changes their name trans or not is easier to kinda slot that into the list of that persons names.

Other theory is that names are generally more abstract and complicated. Just compare any name to a pronoun and most of the time the name is longer / harder to say. So since the thought of saying a name might take longer its easier to interrupt that thought and be like wait no they have a new name. But since pronouns are quicker and maybe more "automatic" there is less time to interrupt that thought.
