Roseram, a slight woman with long curly black hair, stands on the left. Half of her hair is tied back with a scrunchy, and she wears a hospital gown. She's holding the face of Layne, a taller nb with short soft brown hair and a bandage over one cheek. He's wearing her missing scrunchy on his wrist.
funny hypothetical au. brainworms upon ye
Layne on the right is @nikacles.bsky.social 's!

ROSERAM: Three images of a black-purple leech-like insect. The first illustrates the spines, which dig into a host in the same manner as a fox-tail grass. It has a stinger for stimulants. The second image shows a drone which has a single spine as the tip of its tail. Shed spines become drones, which are stemcell-like. The last image is a smear. They are easily smushed, but can regenerate. Acid and fire are the only surefire ways to kill them.

creature design notes for #roseram ... tho, this is how she'd look if you put her in a jar and kept her like that for a few weeks. usually is much more integrated with her host & becomes more of an amalgamation/swarm that connects at various points.
