You know, I really love visual language. Like, I’m not saying I’m good at it or anything, and this is a particularly unsubtle example, but I don’t need to explain in the story at all what these three are about. You know just by looking at them, even without the rather obvious reference. Sure, their specific… motivation, let’s say, won’t be obvious for a while, but they literally don’t need any introduction other than this.
 
Also, that first panel of Chrysalis down there makes me laugh every time I look at it. I nail exactly what she was supposed to look like, and I love it.
 
Also also, she originally had a much more cheerful expression in the second panel, that I redrew. That’s because in the original sort of proto-version of this story I had, she was much more naive and, almost, innocent. Like, she was legitimately happy to have visitors because obviously no one ever goes out to the hive full of giant black insects with holes in their bodies. And obviously I changed that, because no matter what Chrysalis needs to be a bit of a bitch. That’s why we love her.
