I've always wanted to see more interactions between ratvar and narsie.

Except not sexual stuff, just their history between eachother.

And it'd be SUPER petty shit, like the reason they fight is due to something super minor one of them did to the other as college roommates.

Re: Xenomorph Emperess(?) Megafauna.

I have way higher priorities than drawing a 3x3 xeno empress, believe it or not. Getting the 2x2 one in officially took a long-ass time, getting it to where I want it is still in progress, getting xenos as a whole to be scope complete is far off in the future. This? This is after all of that at best.
