Ah, college might be turning my brain into soup 😅
So do the centipedes react to Ellie's strong emotions? Possibly like that intense bit of awkwardness, or the rush of adrenaline when she hunts her prey?

Right? Madness.
And that is not something ever confirmed, no. 🙂

Oh, OH NO
From awkward to, well, this. Wait, isn't Viv's sister a vampire hunter (or something of that nature) or am I misremembering?

ARE THERE BUGS IN YOUR BUTTHOLE, ELLIE?!

NO CONFIRMATION NO.

We just can't confirm or deny if they're in the butt region? =P

The Skittle script is a separate incident I would love to draw at some point as well, haha.

This feels very familiar…
*scrolls through a year’s worth of Patreon content*
Hey- was this based on the skittle script?

Oh yes, the maggots live inside of Ellie. Should they grow too numerous, they are removed. It's just as vile as it sounds.

I guess I was mixing up the centipedes with the constant "maintenance" you mentioned she requires. Anyway can't wait for the next panel.

The centipedes do not hang out inside of Ellie, no, haha.
They are always within an 100 foot perimeter of her however and draw nearer to scavenge whatever remains of her victims. She also doesn't have a particular fondness for them either.

I did not, but I am glad they are there. It's like when you're in a situation and the hair on your neck start to rise, you have this feeling or pressure around you. BAM! Centipedes and Ellie has another tasty snack. Or accidental I love you's. Same same

I mean I'd be pissed if some asshole kept blocking my driveway too, lol. But they do hang out inside her? Like in the lower intestinal region? >.> Seriously though fascinating stuff. Moar please.

Right? Riveting stuff. Things will be contained quickly, and I think y'all will appreciate the ending, I mean I hope.
Also, the centipedes do not manifest from Ellie, neither do the maggots. So they are not an extension of her physiology, no. They follow her in small groups and grow more numerous and visible when they sense a kill may take place. They often are misdirected by high emotions as well, as seen in Airbnb and the original sketches for TCO.

Did you know the appearance of the centipedes during pivotal Ellie shift panels was a last minute decision on Airbnb?
So thankful I went that route making scenes like this possible, haha.

I've waited a long time to illustrate a moment like this.
Elk Hunt was fun, but the high stakes element just didn't hit like this will, haha.

The look of panic on Ellie's face going the way of full centipede. Perfection Elk. Also pour one out for the little centipede that took one for the team, and got stomped by Viv. And not in the good way.
Charles

Oooh boy. I'd been wondering what the canon moment when Viv finds out about Ellie's "nature" would be like vs Elk Hunt and it seems we're about to find out unless Ellie does some quick thinking. Also Viv just Hulk Smashed that centipede. Isn't it part of Ellie? Like you said she always has three of them around her when in Centipede form? Does she just make a new one?

I repeat previous observations: Think of the shit that Viv has been through that her immediate natural instinct to any startle is "HULK SMASH!!" and it's usually the correct response.

Oh man I am so glad that this comic is going to be canon. I cannot fucking WAIT.

Oh yes. Yes. I think I fucking nailed it with this one on that front. Instant classic, haha

I guess there's regular cringing, then there's "cringe so hard you vomit centipedes and lose grip on your human form".

Jesus, you just turned an uncomfortable situation into something absolutely intolerable. Lol
