Between this, my stripes, and my tail… all things I have genes for, but no activation…

I’m kinda pissed, being human could be far less cringe

Humans do have stripes but we ourselves can’t see them.

Look up Blaschko lines

Unless you have the right skin condition I don’t think they’re visible in any wavelength

I say this without doing any googling (big risk) but I’m pretty sure everyone has them - they’re the lines along which your skin originally formed in the womb. Or where your skin currently grows and migrates from. Or both. Maybe I should have googled lol
