hi panda

whatcha doin

They're wondering what you're writing.

they watch. they wait.

im trying to make with the rp, ya derps. no need to square up on me like that.

They've been working on a YA sci-fi romance series themselves wherein the aliens are suspiciously crab-like beings who find love amongst the humans and they want you to beta-read their first draft.

... dude, i'm in

The main crab love interests are basically their self-inserts. But with alien names! And hats!

hermit crab YA romance and hats? i sense the next big hit

NGL I would read it.

there's a part of my mind desperately trying to write awkward, hermit crab specific romance, but only know some specific anatomy terms means i end up with things like "her carapace glistened in the sunlight, and her face hands twitched eagerly"

"you know, those nubby face hands she uses to rub her eyes. man, so sexy."

No no see, there's interspecies romance. The interspecies romance serves as a metaphor for racism and the gay interspecies pairing serves to highlight the racism in the gay community. Your crabs have a message in their story.

do my crabs have a tumblr? i feel like my crabs have a tumblr.

They do and they worked really hard on the theme and coding. You should be proud.

my beautiful ten-legged boys

They're friends with a number of other hermit crabs and sometimes reblog posts on proper care of hermit crabs with their own advice and ideas.
