Scorpia is autistic

She has trouble with people,she says the other princesses didn’t really like her even when she wasn’t in the horde, and before princess prom she seemed anxious before they made a clear plan of what to do.

She struggles to read faces and personal space, also her being a hugger could totally be a sensory thing, many sensory seeking autistics give tight hugs and a lot of them.

She connects really be with entrapta because they’re both autistic and in my experience autistics make friends with autistics way easier than with NTs.

..That’s honestly much better than them being creeped out by bug parts.

I once when younger tossed around the idea of a Beast Wars/ Homestuck crossover fic where Transformers disguised themselves as Lusi to take the Troll society down from the inside by raising the next generation.

But then I realized Tarantulas would thematically go with Vriska and how he’s basically the one villain from my childhood saturday morning cartoons most likely to be a Lolita syle groomer and I don’t think I could handle writing that.

Though I suppose Blackarachnia rescuing her from him could work.

I’m nervous to make any changes to the face of arguably my most popular creature design, but I’m probably gonna give scuds eye stalks because it gives them a lot more room for expressiveness. I’m also tweaking their feet, which are now even fluffier so no one is allowed to complain about it.

If you’re wondering how scud hairs/setae feel, they have a texture ranging from a soft paintbrush tip (the shorter setae) to the stiffness of a bird’s flight feather (on the longer setae). The setae on the antenna and the paddling surfaces are actually slightly barbed to interlock with each other during motion. Unlike the filaments of a feather, they are multilayered and do not require frequent preening to zip them back together.
