When I’m reading smut and the author breaks the flow of the story so that the characters can tell us that they have enthusiastic consent it feels exactly like when Dora the Explorer looks directly into the camera and says ‘Seat belts so we can be safe!’ anytime she gets into a motorized vehicle.
Uh. From what I’ve heard from people who’ve actually raised and eaten them land isopods actually taste pretty much exactly like shrimp. They’re not “full of smelly black liquid” the only reason they’re not very edible is because they usually have a tough shell (Cubaris and Armadillidium isopods at least)
If you want to eat them you want captive bred ones because wild caught isopods can be full of heavy metals. You also want to stick to isopods from the genus porcelio, they’ve got the thinnest shells so it’s kind of like eating shrimp where the tail attaches to the body.
I bet giant isopods are sooo delicious broiled in butter the whole thing is like lobster meat
