Sorry to reblog a gofundme, but one of my close friends just had, like, a horrible congaline of terrible things happen to her (Car totaled, office broken into phone + wallet stolen, used car she got as a replacement immediately broke down.) A few bucks would help her sleep a bit easier, if you can spare some.

Reblogs also appreciated.

Help out Dorothy!

She’s going through a terrible time, but thanks to her friends and other kind strangers, things are looking up!

How do you feel about the orchid mantis winning the tumblr cool bug competition?

I understand but it isn’t Hymenoptera so I don’t agree

Btw I still have lots of Broccoli Soup Stickers if anyone wants any.

What’s a day without a little existential crisis am I right?

Hey friends!

Im doing another Q&A episode! So if you have any burning questions, ask here:

(Btw questions should be posed to Broccoli the character, NOT to the author Secret Pie.)

Speaking as someone who went from enthusiast to academic, this is so true. I knew a lot more than the average joe about insects, but boy I was barely scratching the surface—and my ass did NOT know how to do literature review.

Was just informed that "any sufficiently deep enthusiasm is indistinguishable from academic rigor" and hoo boy we are really in a crisis of anti-intellectualism.

Maybe the real student was the ibuprofen we made along the headache

In that case, I’m going to reblob

Hey so I was looking through my really old art folder and—

[somesecretpie]

i saw you joke that broccoli soup is "deranged bible fanfic", are you christian?

No, nor was I raised Christian. I did grow up in a very Christian culture—Texas Bible Belt suburbia. Most of my friends and every adult in my life except my parents were either evangelical (Pentecostal) or Baptist.

Cowboy hats, leopard print cardigans, “bless your heart”, big sparkly cross necklaces, guns, hoop earrings, Christian rock, mega churches, ford pickup trucks, and every house in the neighborhood was painted the same shade of white and the grass was always perfectly trimmed. And when you went inside the walls had no decorations except for perhaps a single tasteful Bible verse about family and a Thomas Kinkade painting. If you’re daring, a live laugh love sign. That’s where I come from.

I love this

good morning.. and in case i don’t see ya… good-afternoon, good-evening & goodnight ;) ⛏️

[somesecretpie]

are you planning to do voice overs of any other panels of your comic? Because I loveee how it ads to the comic (which is amazing on its own so wow how did it get better) especially the episode with the fish crying in front of the Big Party

Honestly I mostly make those little shorts/dubs as a way to market my comic and get new readers (and it seems to be successful.) I do have fun making them, but I prefer drawing my comic to making these voiceovers.

That being said…yeah I’ll absolutely make more because I need to do a bit of marketing haha. But I’ll probably just dub segments that I think will get people’s attention out of context.

I’ve once again been neglecting to post updates to tumblr!!!! There’s two more episodes out (and an AMV)

Doris struggles to eat a peppermint chapter:

????

Broccoli and Waffles discuss their respective created purposes chapter:

[somesecretpie]

I have drawn an ant! I also saw that your favorites are parasitoid wasps, so I drew one of those guys too. I based the ant on a black garden ant and the wasp on the Tycherus parasitoid wasp

Look at them having tea like Polite and Good beings!

Gasp! I just saw this!!! Thank you so much. That abt is so cute u love the mandibles. And the wasps curly antenna! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a humanoid ichneumonid, so thanks for thank!

This is such an insane process and your art is so cool.

Thought it would be interesting to start making stories with these illustrations now. But purely based on how i arrange the world. Great thing about this filter is how I can get away with using any 3D object as a collage. things like the gold is just floor tiles with a fresnel material, and the people are just 3d scanned people normally used in ArchVis renders.

Blender is amazing, I need to push it further and see what else is possible.
