Because Hornet is a mix between a spider, which have almost no muscles and instead use a complex system of hydraulics made using the spider’s blood pressure to move around, and have a very specific circulatory system alongside that, and a wyrm, which have an absolute ton of extremely tough and complex muscles that are specifically made for moving the wrym’s massive body around as efficiently as possible and also have a specific circulatory system made for that, Hornet has the most fucked up circulatory system you’re even seen.
Hornet’s circulatory system and muscular system is a weird mix between the Spider hydraulics circulatory system and the Wrym muscular systems (which are just regular muscles systems but with like 3 times the power). Hornet will move her arm and two things happen. First, her blood pressure in that arm will spike heavily, which is the result of the spider circulatory system trying to use Hornet’s nonexistent hydraulics system (made even more powerful by Hornet’s Wyrmlike heart, which is stronger than most spider hearts because wyrm muscles). As that’s happening, her actual arm muscles move her arm normally, but they’re suddenly a lot stronger than before because Hornet’s spider circulatory system has just accidentally delivered a shitload of extra blood and oxygen to that specific arm.
After Hornet stops moving her arm, her spider brain goes “alright, we’re done moving, lets lower the pressure in those hydraulics now”, lowers Hornet’s blood pressure and balances it out with the rest of her body, returning everything to normal. Even though it doesn’t have to do any of that at all because Hornet doesn’t have any spider hydraulics, so it’s increasing and decreasing her blood pressure for nothing.
This weird circulatory system has some upsides and some downsides. On one hand, Hornet is a lot stronger than she looks because the second she starts doing something physical, her muscles automatically receive extra bloodflow, making the task easier. But on the other hand, Hornet is prone to sudden spikes of high and low blood pressure because her circulatory system either messed something up, couldn’t properly balance out her blood pressure or just felt like being a dick today.
It also means that Hornet has a hard time retaining heat because the second she starts moving around in almost any way, blood starts being directed away from what her body has deemed “less important areas”, and towards whatever muscles she’s using. You know how you get cold feet when you’re scared because you’re body starts pumping more blood to the arm and leg muscles and less to the hands and feet? Hornet has an almost full body version of that at all times.

Had to upload as a gif because the animation relies on a loop lol
I really like how it turned out (:
This dude better marry her fast or someone is gonna try to steal her away

Possible spoilers under the cut if you haven’t finished world 9 or seen the Cookie Odyssey story
Still stuck on how Dark Enchantress just left them behind in the Vanilla Kingdom when she left with all the others. She just left a child completely alone there, which definitely could’ve ended badly for them. I’m glad they got to work with Espresso Cookie after being alone for so long there, but still, I don’t think I’ll ever not be angry at Dark Enchantress for leaving them behind.

immediately, i'm struck by the fact that they're not only using one hand, their other hand is.... supporting their arm? PLUS their legs are CROSSED??, and not only does that mean they could pull a muscle, all their strength is coming from their shoulder, which puts them at high risk of dislocating something if they swing it any faster. 1/10
strawberry my beloved you've restored my faith. she doesn't have a tight grip of the axe, but she is holding it near the head and then sliding down as she swings. YES. she's not angled right but she gets a pass because shes 13. 9/10
oh good lord. they start off alright, but then??? let go?? of the axe, making it look like they're throwing it at the wood like a swingball...?. . points for being funny but that is a terrifying thing to do with an axe. also, another child that should not be chopping wood. 4/10
gramps? are you using magic sparkles to chop wood again? whatever. he's swinging it below his waist in a very nice arc, and has his hand firmly enough around the axe for me not to be nervous, but again, one hand. i really hope the flower can see for him. 6/10
DTUFJZTJDTXJUTDTZZKSKSJS he fucking HATES this on god look at him. not only that, but hitting this with your non-dominant hand and backwards is likely to hurt AND take a long ass time on top of every other thing he's doing wrong. 0/10 i'm just sorry they did this to u king
okay it's. kind of impossible to chop wood completely safely with. yknow. one arm. soooo ig she's angled herself right and she gets 5/10
i wish his right hand was a liiiiittle higher at the peak of the swing, but other than that he's doing very well!,!... is what i would say if his eyes weren't fuckin closed!!! and WHERE pray tell is your passion?!?! 7/10!!!!
stepping forward as you swing is very wrong and dangerous, and, shes not holding it right. it looks like shes hitting below her waist, but thats moot if she's swinging so far she could dislocate something. 2/10
swinging the axe behind your head and out of your peripherals is SO dangerous oh my god. the arc is nice, but she's holding it by the end of the handle which means it could so easily slip out of her hands. however, i don't doubt she doesn't know what she's doing. 3/10
NOPE! his clothes are a huge goddamn hazard, he's holding the axe by the end, his body is completely forward and he's hitting at face height!!! he's likely to get more splinters than firewood, 1/10
part one
Hell yeah love this
hornet grips her cloak fabric tightly when overwhelmed.
she does the bug equivalent of constantly cracking her knuckles and back because she doesn't like the tension, she's also crunchy
she sometimes chews on her cloak collar when board, a behaviour she mimicked from Hollow as a baby. The Weavers had to make her 3 new cloaks as a baby because she practically ate them.
she doesn't like bright places as being part beast she is naturally sensitive to light because beasts and weaver's have adapted to the darkness of deepnest.
despises white palace, sensory hell.
takes control and leads as she feels more at ease knowing what exactly is happening.
do not take away her needle. that is hers.
she takes things very literally
also have I mentioned she's autistic?
this is my oc chloe
She looks pretty :)
I like her hair
