My New Girlfriend Is Not Human? - Vol. 3 Ch. 181.5 - Like mother like daughter!

Said it with your chest my man, "You are my precious BBSW (Big Beautiful Spider Woman), and i am a chubby chaser, like all real men ought to be!"

Are... are those straps going under her exoskeleton?

Author I REALLY need to know how this works. For actual science. I can't use it if I can't understand it even vaguely...

those are markings similar to what she has on the neck in the last panel, it's not a bra strap

 

[CulR]

Go on...

No... I sense he made a mistake of some kind.

Doomroar, I don't think she's going to like being called chubby either. If you say that, the last thing you'll hear is her roar for your doom.

She knows she is on the heavy side, and at her size... out running reality is not realistic, plus with the baby out she lost her one excuse

WHAT DID I JUST READ?!

Clicking unknown links? It seems you like to live dangerously.

The thing about that is that it's not a coincidence bugs don't get that big in real life. The endoskeleton helps us not be crushed under our own weight and allows for breathing beyond the normal size limit of arthropods. So you're talking about hypothetical arthropods that defy physical laws. It renders just about any speculation equally plausible depending on the assumptions you make to make the premise work.

Taya isn't a pure arthropod, so I'm thinking she has an endoskeleton. Probably a big thick one to help with the big thick armor.

She's not fat - she's just big-boned.

I mean word of God from earlier is Taya is HEAVY. Like in her true form she's easily two heads taller than Haru, who isn't a small guy to begin with, and all that exoskeleton is thick and dense. Not to mention, Taya's BMI is significantly lower than a human's would be: she's basically all muscle and chitin. And that mass doesn't magically disappear when she shapeshifts, she just compresses it into a denser state.

In short, Taya is probably very similar in mass to a gorilla. She big.

Ahem, as I was saying, dear, she's beautiful, just like her mother...

nice save.

Pretty sure that's more a limit of their far less efficient respiratory and circulatory systems. Some arthropods became massive during the carboniferous, when oxygen levels may have reached as high as 30%.

I kinda wonder if IRL, human-sized arthropods would be as heavy as Taya. Yeah, the exoskeleton would be heavy, if it were very thick, but iirc arachnids, insects, and crustaceans dont have internal skeletons, so that would make them lighter to offset the exoskeleton, right?

It's not like density of chitin is significantly different from that of bone, though its hard to say if they'd need significantly more exoskeleton than humans have endoskeleton.

So how are they going to deal with the child not really being able to go outside until she learns to shapeshift like her mother?
