Why is she taking the blame/self-blaming for the laser incident in the woodshop, though? AMANDA was the one who said “lets burn stuff” and Selkie said “yeah no that’s not a good idea”
Excessive-to-Sarnothi-biology-amounts of fructose and other glucose-adjacent compounds? Not so much.
Sai Fen and Pohl have taught her that Sarnothi are able to process some plant-compounds, e.g. seasonings and teas can be stomached, but even he balked at eating a grape. “Fruits are so sugary and sweet, she probably got sick from the TASTE. I’d feed my children corpses before I fed them grapes.”
Selkie’s diet at the orphanage was determined by “Does she puke after eating this?”. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was only fed her favorite foods after the second time they made her puke blue, since anything she turned her nose up at could be a repeat performance.
I wonder what is Amanda’s kryptonite…
Going off of her bio, and one comic from a very long time ago, it’s carrots
This one knows the Deep Lore
Never give her carrots. She will throw them at you.
Aaaand I think they’re going to be just fine.

To quote John Mulvaney “but I was sitting on the bench” isn’t going to cut it here
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta stand there and take the hit.
But she’s already building tolerence to plant stuff.
“plant stuff”, yes.

They caused an actual fire and saw consequences of their actions other than adults being upset. Im sure that would lead to a quite different reaction.
Todd is showing what a good Dad he is here.
