Ya know sometimes it’s funny to me

I’m like why do I always write the boys as humans and specifically recently mermaids, why not write them as robots?

And then I look at my backlog of human bio and fish anatomy stuff and I’m like-

Yeah okay I could world-build for hours using this

And on the other hand I am completely in the dark about most programming and robotics things

#this is specific to Luca au #like it’s so funny I have soooooo much random worldbuilding for Luca au #but only like 10% will make it into the fic #like y’all don’t need to know the boys dna is all sorts of fucked up #or how the disguise magic works through a mechanism of heterochromatin formation on specific points #or that the way the transformation works is by a change in shh and wnt signaling along the spinal chord #along with differential expression of hox genes #which btw is total sci-fi #could never happen #or the exact way their digestive system works #or how the cartilage in the jaw breaks down into two main bones allowing for larger bite #or how their reproductive system works #or their entire family lineage from 500 years back #or how their writing system works #well actually that last one might come back #Luca au #I’ve put toooooo much thought into this #lol
