that is awesome news, billytea!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Congrats Billytea & Wallybee. And how much do I love that your announcement comes only at the end of a long discourse on evolutionary biology and reproductive strategies?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are there any supervillains or superheros named "The Platypus"?
A good friend of mine from college was nicknamed Platypus for reasons that are lost in the mists of time. I don't want to guess about his good/evil affiliations for fear of offending him.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thanks everyone!
