The Magic of Butterfly Metamorphosis Explained

By Alice Hey, adventurers! It’s Alice, and today, Ariel, Mr. Fluffernutter, and I are embarking on a tiny, fluttery adventure to uncover one of nature’s greatest transformations—the metamorphosis of a butterfly! We were outside watching a hungry little caterpillar munching on a leaf, when Ariel suddenly said, “Did you know that when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, its whole body breaks…

I like to think Ogrim put his professional voice on for that little speech. (Next page will be out January 6th. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays)

Bug Fact: Some snails have hairy shells. The hair-like structures are used to keep them moist and improve camouflage. Pictures Below.

I made his dialogue digestible tho haha #I love kind and gentle Ogrim. But I think it would be funny to see him try and be “regal” when he meets Dewi.#Dewi is a “higher being” like his former King.

Seeing all those posts and fanfics where the batkids, especially Dick, calls Clark "uncle Clark", made me think.

If Dick calls Clark "uncle Clark", he probably started doing it BEFORE he ever referred to Bruce as his father. After all, another uncle doesn't erase any existing one, but accepting Bruce as his father was erasing John Grayson in Dick's mind, for multiple years. It makes sense for Dick's confused feelings about his situation to call Clark "uncle" before calling Bruce "dad".

So, I present you: Bruce being envious of Clark because Dick refers to him with a family's title but Bruce is just "B".

And in the same continuity: Dick being envious of Jason calling Bruce "dad" so easily.

For Dick, it feels as if the word is stuck in his throat. He can say it to joke around with others ("let's steal dad's car" he tells Jason), but to Bruce's face? He's afraid the world would end.

#bruce wayne #dick grayson #robin #batman #nightwing #clark kent #jason todd #superman #dc comics #my ramblings #Clark can feel the batglare Bruce is sending him from accross the room as a lil Dick calls him uncle and asks to be picked up #only child syndrome learns to share your kid Bruce Smallville isn’t going to steal him from you #also you can take from my cold dead hands the hc that Jason used to call B “dad” all the time #when he is de-aged in RHaTO he says he likes to call him dad #but also am I the only one to have remarked how Dick only calls B “dad” when he is talking to others and often in a joking way?

Van dying kind.

Van dying good.

Van dying after saving the love of her life.

Van understanding it isn’t fucking fair.

Van understanding the ending never is.

#yellowjackets #yj spoilers #van palmer #I am in pain but I am also like #yeah. yeah that’s my girl.#that’s her. she wants so badly to believe. this kid who told the story as it needed to go #the kid who has a story instead of faith #the kid who learned to stack the deck #the kid who knows the beats to every movie by heart #I knew she had to go and while I’m not wild about her going at the hands of melissa #there’s that twist again #not cancer but a knife #not cancer but the very knife she used to save a life #Melissa proving to be as manipulative as shauna #Van is genuinely kind under it all; melissa is genuinely vicious under it all #the show just keeps offering up foils #and goddamn I hope taissa kills the shit out of that woman #but also: I’m not sure Van would want that

It’s always ‘bad dad cap’ until the JL actually meet his ‘kids’. The JL then decide they would each take a kid to see if they can get some info. It goes as well as you expect

Diana, after taking Mary for a girls night out

Diana: Never again

JL: ???

CM: what did she do now

Diana: tried to take over Themesquira

CM: Mary!

Mary: IT WAS TO INCREASE EFFECIENCY

CM: WHAVE HAVE WE SAID ABOUT CAPITALISM

Mary: … not to enter its thrall

CM: because …

Mary: *sighs* you’ll end up bald like Sivanna

CM: Good.

Superman, coming in with Pedro

Clark: nope no nu uh nada

CM: what happened?

Clark: HE BROKE MY FORTRESS

CM: the for three of Solitude?

Clark: I just wanted him to show him how strong fortress was

CM: and he took it as a challenge?

Clark: HE TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE

John Constantine, throwing Eugene at Cap:

Jonn: NO KIDS IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES. EVER AGAIN.

Euegene: IT WAS TECHNOLOGICALLY DEFICIENT

John: NOT UP TO YOU TO CHANGE THAT

Flash, being dragged in by Freddy

Freddy: Oh hey guys 👋

CM: what you got there?

Freddy: He said running would do me some good.

CM: … okay fair

Hal, in the corner: unicorns are nice, unicorns are bad, unicorns are real, it’s aaaalllllll in my head

Darla: :3

CM: …

Darla: want some skittles?

CM: you’re all grounded

Shazamily: OH COMME ON

*ten minutes later*

JL watching the kids be buried in the ground - their heads. Suddenly they understand a bit more now.

Thinking about that post about the show murderbot characters not being as 'developed' (as in, are still in the beginnings/middles of character arcs) as their book counterparts, and I think a big plus of it is it lets Murderbot be in the same category as them.

The most obvious example is it and Mensah - both of them struggling with anxiety and fighting through it because there are people counting on them. But the one I'm really thinking about is Murderbot and Ratthi.

Ratthi didn't get weapons training like he was supposed to because he 'slept through it' which was because he was hungover (would love to know if Mensah already knew that before he accidentally announced it over the comms). His very feeble, obviously shame-filled excuse is that he didn't think he'd need it. Just like Murderbot didn't think it'd need the hopper repair manual.

These are dumb, youthful things to do. Go out and party and be too hungover to make it to class the next day. Watch your favorite TV show instead of copying down your homework. These things happen and 95% of the time it's no big deal.

And then one time it is. It's a big deal and now they can't help when they really want to be able to help. And Murderbot and Ratthi react to their mistakes the exact same way - by giving themselves a lecture on what big fucking idiots they are. Ratthi then does something dumb and dangerous to try and make up for it and Murderbot has Mensah crack open its spine. It's a very fun parallel between them and I think it's going to add some really nice depth to their friendship as things go along. You fuck up. You do dumb shit to get the short-term gratification.

And people love you anyway.

#murderbot #murderbot tv #dr ratthi #damn right you vibe with it rattho #*ratthi #if were not careful well have a case of 'two smart people who get stupid when the other is around' on our hands #anyway murderbot isnt human but it makes the same kind of mistakes they do #and as others have said i think that endears it to mensah a bit #shes pissed and stressed about the hopper #but thats a very human thing to do. something one of her kids might do. something one of her team might do #something she might have done at some point in her life (though probably not for a soap opera)#and murderbot takes its first tiny step on learning its personhood does not get revoked when it makes a mistake

Saw a gifset of Morpheus and had the random thought that he'd make a fantastic children's picture book mouse character— and now I really, really want a fic where he appears in a kid's dream as a Kevin Henkes/Helen Craig/Beatrix Potter -esque mouse as to not scare them or something. I think it's something about Morpheus' usual mousey moue and big wet eyes that make it work in my head lolll Mousepheus!!

#EDIT: This was definitely subconsciously inspired by Safe in the Palm of Your Hands by Cheshyr on Ao3!!! its so cute please read it #the sandman #dream of the endless #morpheus #dc #rex doodle #and i also want a fic where morpheus spirals and accidentally curses himself into becoming a little mouse -#- (inside reflecting in a la beauty and the beast) and he needs hob's help to break the curse and learn his worth etc etc the usual loll #mice characters are fun to draw its my favorite kid lit trope #anyway yes ill post this bc its been so long since ive posted anything and i need evidence that im alive lol #2024

thinking bout 14yr finnick winning the games and thinking about the victors+effie looking at this child and going "fuuuuck!!! guess we're co-parenting now"

#finnick wins and haymitch and the gang immediately look at each other and then open up the internet to learn how to change a diaper #finnick standing in effie's doorway @2am after a night out with a sponsor pupils blown wide and a brown stain on his shirt #finnick: effie i frew up #effie sliding off the bed miserably wondering why she wanted kids: okay nicky. let's get you cleaned up #him and mags falling asleep together. beetee making adjustments to his trident when he's in the capitol #chaff taking him out to where there's wilderness in the capitol so he can scream to his hearts content #haymitch teaching him the ins and outs of surviving capitol life. effie teaching him how to lie with a smile.#thinking about annie's games and finnick having panic attacks every other day #thinking about haymitch getting him blackout drunk in 12s suite so finnick's fucking heart doesnt give out from worrying #him whispering into effie's shoulder that annie cant die. he wont make it if she dies #effie holding her nicky close. mags coming to pick him up. chaff piggybacking him out the service exit.#thinking about them calling him nicky...... ohhh head in hands head in hands.....#SOMEBODY SEDATE ME!!!!#the hunger games #thg #haymitch abernathy #effie trinket #chaff thg #mags flanagan #finnick odair #they try to do a sleepover every final night of the games and finnick has a nightmare #effie blearily: guys guys wake up. nicky's having a nightmare #chaff haymitch and mags who are practically dead to the world from getting drunk #haymitch slurring: before the sun rises nicky's yours princess #and chaff goes 'amen!' and mags sticks a thumbs up to show her appreciation from where she's got her head buried in pillows to block sound #idk guys. it couldnt have been tragedy all the time. unfortunately evil is smth you can get used to #i think there were a lot of mundane moments in between the heartbreak and tragedy

i just thought of something: what happened to Jade's family?? are they okay without Jade working to support them?? i NEED to know 😭

HIIIIII LONG STORY SHORT ITS A MESSY FAMILY SITUATION BUT YEAH THEY KNOW <3

I imagined they would be the eldest of a handful of siblings (minus they’re older brother that really doesn’t get the same pressure) (joys of the eldest “sister” vs eldest brother experience) and take on a lot of responsibility for that. Forced to grow up pretty fast. They’re pretty used to the mindset of helping others before being allowed to think about themself. Most their life really was dedicated to thinking more about everyone else than themself, so falling underground kinda mega sucks because its the first time they really start think about about what they want in life (bad timing.) (awful timing.)

check out my jade doodles boy

#SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVEF TO RESPOND TO I DID RUMINATE ON THIS FOR MONTHS #clover jade shaking hands i imagine they were somewhat similar tough home situations #manifested in different ways but ueah. kids that have trouble prioritizing themself over the needs of others #jades story would have a lot of themes of learning to be kind to yourself too #asks #undertale heart to heart #jade hth

Went to in-laws for Easter today and held hands with some guy I don't know in a prayer circle to say blessing.

And after he tells me "you have really soft hands"

Which might sound weird right

Except I've gotten back into skin care in the last year and all the products that go on my face also go on my hands bc I take care of those things. I'm in so deep I even wear sun protection gloves when I drive.

So basically I'm trying to say that having a random guy tell me my hands are soft af is incredibly validating HELL YEAH. LET'S GO!!!

#When I am into something I am all in #Skincare makes me feel like I am adulting right #Got into it after my kid turned 1 bc I looked and felt like a haunted shell of a person #It's called self care bay bee #Before anyone is like how can you say you take care of your hands when your nails look like shit rn #My nails are in recovery lmao turns out I am one of the people that reacts horribly to a common nail polish base coat ingredient #My once strong lovely nails became brittle and cracked due to my dang base coat #Live n learn #They are almost normal again just a little more growing out to do

I used to have a really hard time bringing up the fact that I graduated from high school a year late without feeling the need to explain why and insisting that it wasn't my fault while simultaneously kicking myself for how much I sounded like I was just making excuses for something I should take responsibility for.

Then I watched Dimension 20's "The Seven" and suddenly I could simply say that I was a super senior.

The first time I heard the phrase "super senior" was in reference to Antiope Jones, a Black girl who had been held back a year after getting kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a fundamentalist cult, and like, girl, same.

So, since then, instead of anxiously spinning out any time I tried to tell a personal high school anecdote, I could just say I was a super senior, and then my brain would auto complete that statement with "like Antiope Jones" and I'd feel good about myself because Antiope Jones Is That Bitch.

That's what the problem had been the whole time. I wasn't worried about how other people would perceive me; I had been struggling with how I perceived myself.

Thanks, Aabria.

#representation matters #especially absolutely batshit and (hopefully) unintentional representation because bitch what the fuck #antiope jones #aabria iyengar #dimension 20 the seven #dimension 20 #WARNING: Religious trauma/parental neglect/trauma-induced mental illness beyond this point!#no I'm serious I wasn't joking about the whole identifying with getting kidnapped and imprisoned by fundamentalists thing #shit's fucked; you have been warned #ok so I didn't get kidnapped but I did spend my entire childhood cloistered against my will by my fundamentalist parents #I was home-schooled from grades K-8 and then went to Christian online school from grades 9-11 #homeschooling isn't neglectful but my neglectful parents wouldn't have been able to isolate me without it #by grade 11 my mental health had deteriorated so much that I spent most of my time in bed dissociating and stopped doing any schoolwork #my parents correctly assumed the isolation was finally getting to me and enrolled me in a local private Christian school for grade 12 #it should have taken me more than a year to complete all my grade 12 classes + a handful of incomplete grade 11 classes & a grade 10 class #but as it turns out I am in fact also That Bitch and did it all in one academic year #I still genuinely thought I was lazy until quarantine showed me that EVERYONE gets fucked up after years of social isolation (wild huh)#Tags! Now with MORE BONUS TRAUMA! (brace yourself haha; Teeth CW)#it's important to me that Antiope is tall because the effects of the isolation and neglect were so pervasive that they stunted my growth #I'm of reasonable height for an adult at first glance (5'3) but I would have been a hell of a lot closer to 6'2 that's for damn sure #if you stare at me for too long I start to look like an animated scale model of a much taller person (because I kinda am lol)#everything about me is teensy except for my absolutely massive teeth #I had to get four extracted because they couldn't all fit #not wisdom teeth just four straight up regular healthy adult teeth had to be extracted due to a painful lack of space for teeth that big #I'm not sure if my teeth are the only thing that grew to normal size or if they're extra big because of some other pituitary fuckery #and yeah being tiny isn't that weird but people have always made a big deal about just how weirdly tiny I am #like kids younger than me used to carry me around like a doll #and now decades later I've learned about Psychosocial Short Stature and it all makes sense haha oop #anyways #told you shit's fucked

authority has only found me appealing because they've always known i'd make a great cog in the machine

#dandy's doodles #professor layton #henry ledore #the caption comes from one of the pages i wrote with my left hand a bit of a while back #the page begins saying 'henry scares me in that he is my future should my success continue into the capitalist hellscape of adulthood'#and i do think about henry a lot in terms of capitalism and anxiety and success/survival. and my dad #i'm very similar to my dad in a lot of ways. the page could've just as well said:#'my dad scares me in that he is my future should my success continue into the capitalist hellscape of adulthood'#he is so very responsible and organized and diligent and hardworking. and so very very stressed #all of which i know i'll have to be if i'm going to survive/be successful (which to me are the same thing)#henry is very similar to my dad for being all of those things. and similar to me for having the fear of having to be them #part of him just wants to be a little kid i think. he doesn't wanna grow up and work himself to death but he knows that's his destiny #to quote the page again: 'i was born to be perfect or die trying. natural selection will mean the certain extinction of my inner child'#he wants to be safe and loved. he doesn't wanna be an adult. but he's been forced to embody the pinnacle of adulthood #and thus he ends up proving everyone who enforced his obedience 'right'#he's been beaten and molded into the model adult #he was never taught to expect love so he learned to survive (and succeed) without it. which is very economical #in a strange way then henry is one of capitalism's most prized products isn't he?#may contain nuts
