Even so, one study found that certain male insects have developed femalelike genitals to lower the risk of damage from homosexual penetration.
Is insect sex pleasurable? I’m a human and I’m still learning, just like everybody else. And while this sets up the building blocks for Victoria’s own emotional journey in Ward as a survivor of sexual trauma, it does so at the expense of Amy’s character and the sexual identity that comes with it.
There are no other pseudo-incest plotlines in Worm, which makes Amy seem all the more terrible in contrast.
But a new review of homosexual insect encounters suggests the acts may not be that straightforward for the individuals involved.
Researchers have widely examined homosexual behavior in mammals and birds, but have addressed it less frequently in insects and spiders. Since I have not read Twig, I can’t really discuss that.
Lastly, I’ll mention two character who aren’t transgender/nonbinary/genderfluid/etc, but seem to have similarities in how their stories are told.
Does he want us to take her side? Certain beetles have even been found to use same-sex mounting as a way to spread sperm to other males that may then pass it along to the next female he mounts, though this mechanism does not appear to be very effective.
Since male insect anatomy is not designed to accept male genitals, improper penetration can cause bodily damage in aggressively competing mates.
In their interlude, Byron’s side is given far more narrative weight, detailing how Tristan has always been more popular, more successful, more selfish than Byron. She doesn’t get a redemption arc either, unlike Defiant, Bonesaw, and Glaistig Uaine.

To make matters murkier, the dynamic of their relationship seems to be founded on unequal ground. When Amy tries to make amends in Ward, the situation gets worse. This point isn’t emphasized as strongly as Dragon’s identity as an AI, but it’s still interesting to consider and discuss how Dragon’s origins as something so far removed from human conventions of gender and biological sex translates to her current status.
Here’s a direction quote from her interlude, all the possessive/predatory horror that comes with it:
(Ward, 12z)
It’s important to acknowledge how extreme and sexually aggressive this mentality is, especially in comparison to the interludes of the other kiss-kill cluster villains. "They just try to mate with whatever gives them a vague impression of an opportunity."
Other studies do, however, show evidence of more intentional and malicious motivations behind homosexual insect sex.
Whatever the purpose may be, it’s important to keep in mind that Circus is also a minor character, even more so than Legend.
For anyone who has read Ward, the subject of Furcate also needs to be addressed.
Except Parian is a college-aged student, placed tentatively at age 21, and Flechette is a ward, age 17 at the oldest. Or nonbinary characters?
In general, female-female interactions seem more intentional than male-male interactions. This anatomy blocker is not a problem for all species, since not all insect sex involves penetration. While morality is subjective in Worm, and the heroes are often as corrupt as the villains, the Undersiders are still a villain-aligned organization, which Parian willingly joins.
