Final day of Escapril poem! I know I wasn’t able to participate in Shylovrs Poetry Orchard’s Monstrous Love Creative Writing Workshop but after this discovery I need to do this now.

Story behind this poem:

I have discovered something about myself. I have a habit of biting. Especially when something I see activates the neurons in my brain to make my teeth itch. Like a cat.

So I bite it.

It’s affectionate of course but like Apparently biting was just a think I did more openly as time went on? And my partner confirmed I did bite them also. And it’s wild because like I don’t remember doing that, but it’s happened so often it’s second nature.

A self discovery is groundbreaking to you, /

but is everyday life to everyone else. /

How second nature does a habit have to be /

for there to be no memory recollection of said habit? /

Habit is not the right word. /

Not for this. /

Teeth have always been a loving fixation for me. /

In fact, I am more accepting of teeth in all their forms; /

more than most others. /

All I know is my teeth itch when I look at something. /

Snacks become a priority so I don’t bite things or people. /

The amount of shredded pillows from my cute aggression is… /

Alarming. /

I know my toothy love is affectionate. /

I bite to endear you. /

I just know I look at someone or something; /

my neurons glow and pulse with activation; /

And now I’m biting it or them. /

I am not slick and mysterious; /

Subtlety who? /

It’s laughable how I perceived my toothy love to be low key. /

After all, why smile so big and warm; /

If not to show you my love in all its forms.

I think yaklixy’s headcanon about monsters continuing to grow until the age of 30 could be true. During Rayburn Jr’s match against Tentacular, Mark and Lights Out Mcginty refer to both Winnie and Jr as “kids”, which they don’t do with Tentacular. Plus, if this was true, then Tentacular should be around 22-27 years old when judging by his height (18 meters). This was quite fun to experiment with. When i calculated this, i just looked up how fast teenage boys grow during puberty (around 7cm per year) and multiplied it by 8 (around 56cm per year) and these are the results (note! in some cases i either rounded the numbers up or down). P.s in my Rumble headcanon, there’s a 2 year “growth-break”, which means that monsters remain relatively the same size from the age of 16 to 18 before they continue to grow to their final size
