🎀🐍 A SMALL SNAKEY PROBLEM (Pennylou comic series) - Part 1 🐍🎀
Forgive him, he's PMSSSing 😔 (What's PMS, you ask? Pre-molting syndrome, of course!)
Big shoutout to my friend who infodumped to me about how her snake was when shedding, which inspired a lot of this!
Fun fact: I learned during my own research that snakes basically go blind because the scale over their eyes is coming off too and gets milky. I did briefly consider this for Pentious, but because the scale protects their eyes since they don't blink and Pentious does blink, I figured it would only happen to his chest eye and previously tail eyes! Good lordy, with all the slithering, they do need some heavy protection...
And another shoutout to the fic "Warmth" by beababoobies. The line "Pentious loved touch in general - it was reassuring, nice, and it made him feel human all over again." truly has me in a chokehold. I knew he was human, of course, but oh. What if even he forgets it sometimes?
I'd also like to think Pentious suffers from body dysmorphia to some degree. He kinda got used to the change over the 130+ years of his afterlife, but it's still tough to try and desperately cling on to some sense of humanity when you suddenly don't even look human anymore, with the drastic changes you went through being seen as more "freaky" than desirable to add insult to injury. That's the short of it, my friends have witnessed entire essay-long rambles I've written about this sbdbdbf
