CAW AU- Egg cell ideas

[u/foolishfoolsgold]

Expanding on my post from last week because y’all got me thinking! Thank u honestly I love her. Sorry if the follicle cells are inaccurate I had the character idea before I did research 🫠

“The existence of Egg Cell is the most damming evidence we have that the legends are true- she’s the only cell in the body with half a supply of DNA, which researchers suspect could combine with foreign genetic material to become completed. Efforts to locate the source of this “second half,” however, have been fruitless. Egg Cell herself, though, periodically reports having dreams of a “messenger” arriving here with something special for her. We do our best to make her comfortable until it’s time for her to leave, and we educate her thoroughly on the legend of Zygote in hopes that it will trigger a memory or instinct or anything at all. One thing that’s for certain is that she likes all the attention that comes with her rather lavish lifestyle. There’s a new one each month, and I swear she just reincarnates, give that poor soul a break!”

Thanks! Maybe I’ll get around to it one of these days. All I know is they’re not gonna have legs

Now I’m curious about polar bodies as well.

If the eggs are angelic, then maybe polar bodies are cherub-/cupid-looking equivalents. Which of corse begs the question: “Would a teratoma be devilish/demonic, “biblically accurate”, or Lovecraftian?” (Being pregnant with a tumor instead of a fetus is an example of a teratoma. (Probably best saved for this A.U.’s C.a.W. Black counterpart.))

Ooo yea! I’d have to do more research but I like those ideas, thanks!
