Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] Out of the blue, your spouse asked you if you would still love them if they turned into a worm. Thinking it was a little odd, you said that yes, of course you would. It was a short time later when you realized that they actually meant “wyrm.” by Maximum_Pootis

Interestingly enough, the words “Worm” and “Wyrm” have connected etymological roots. That same root is where we get the word “Vermin”.

It’s all referring to the same collection of gross/revolting animals called vermin. Worms and spiders and scorpions, but also snakes and the like.

So ultimately the question of love despite appearances holds true regardless of the creature since Wyrms and Worms are both Vermin.
