Have You Ever Seen An Eel Irl? Don't They Have Funny Little Teeth?

Have you ever seen an eel irl? Don't they have funny little teeth?

my eel brain actually started with me volunteering to assist on an eel feed at the pūkaha wildlife centre. knee-deep in large, writhing beasts trying to get at the food in my hands, i fell in love.

you're right, the longfin eels teeth are so small! you've got to look really close because it kinda looks like it's just a rough texture:

an eel head appearing from water. Its mouth is open, and inside is many tiny teeth.

but that isn't the only type of eel teeth! Viper eels have a pretty iconic set of teeth

A greenish viper moray eel sitting with its mouth open. Inside are long, pointy teeth.

they feed on slippery critters so need some good grippers, while a moray like the snowflake eel which eats more crustaceans will have flatter teeth for crushing:

snipe eels have backwards facing teeth! you might have to squint to see these because theyre so tiny, but they function similar to a pythons- once you get in it'll be incredibly damaging to get out!

The mental and emotional Whiplash from playing an r18 game to an "E for everyone" novel game is interesting.

I like to imagine that every time I switch, the MC is Isekai into the E game and will not return to their previous one. like the poor Mc needs a break from what ever they dealt with in their original world to the worse thing that could happen is name-calling.

Like if it really did happen, what gymnastics is going on their brain of theirs.

Fun thing that has been cooking in my brain; horror game gacha rpg. Like a game that is set up in that there is only at max 10 characters and they were toss into the story of they are lost in a forest/sewers/mountains and they do not remember how they got here with the plot of them trying to return home fighting off monsters and the environment. But the catch is that the more they wonder and try to figure out why they are there, the more they realize they do not remember their lives before the setting.

The gacha portion is each card? acts like a memory piece for the related character, giving reason for their actions in the story. For example, one card of character A is them at the birthday for their child, which is why they are protective over the younger characters. Or another is card is character B at their work as an entomologist, which is why they know so much about the critters that are chasing after them. The thing is, that is the only way you can get any information about the characters.

The characters can be set as a homescreen for the game, and you could raise their friendship level to improve their skills for the rpg element. The narrator/player's role in this? You are the reason you all are there, but like the rest of the cast, you do not remember why just that it is your fault.

Idk.
