there needs to be a study on why bob's burgers fans are so obsessed with writing about the belcher kids dying of a horrific illness or accident and in so much detail. like to an extent I understand wanting to explore darker themes with these characters but there's SO MUCH of it omg I have never been in a fandom this obsessed with angst before

i am looking at your comparisons of watchers to a bunch of prey animals and wondering: what eats watchers? they're clearly also hyperspecialized, like those skimmer birds with a ridiculous feeding strategy, so they're clearly a case of evolution speccing them into an absurd "life does whatever it can get away with" kind of ridiculous build, but the prey animal comparisons IN PARTICULAR have me thinking a bunch of things eat them
They absolutely are hyperspecialized, and i do think there once was something that ate Watchers pretty regularly-- although im still working on what exactly that was. i have a few ideas im churning over right now that i want to percolate on before i fully commit. What i do know, however, is that they're pretty much fully extinct now-- whatever they were, the Watchers figured out how to change themselves enough to avoid them, and more or less starved them out. One or two may still linger... but they're incredibly rare. And of course, Players themselves are both prey and threat to Watchers-- enough Players in a group could easily kill them bc of how fragile their code is, so its necessary to stay hidden, secret, and safe at all times.
As a sidenote, evolution in this universe is a bit different than how we might understand it. I think evolution in hunger au has something to do with manipulating your deep code, your source code-- the intrinsic stuff thats buried far below the code that dictates what you look like. The general impression i have right now is that Watchers learned how to change some of that deep code (at a great expense, this is NOT easy) to avoid their predators, and this unlocked their ability to See using the Greater Code-- but this isnt set in stone just yet, so take that with a grain of salt until i can get all this stuff finalized LOL

at some point in the future:
*non vegan reading about a new vegan leather*: psh. bet it has plastic in it tho.
*scrolls down and finds out theres 0 plastic. the non vegan gets angry since now theres finally a vegan leather they dont get to complain about*: psh, bet it doesnt feel like real leather tho.
*scrolls down to find out the creators of this leather spent a lot of time to make it more "like real leather*: psh, bet they exploit their workers tho
just say you want to use animal leather and you were never going to consider an alternative in the first place, bud
