Today was such an emotional rollercoaster for the TWST fandom😭✋
Malleus was so stunning in the book 7 trailer, I just HAD to see what he'd look like all smoothened up!

What if.... instead of beautiful and interesting animals, we have gnarly and interesting insects?
Only problems is idk what insects work out with the characters
I mean, maybe praying Mantis Billy and Ant Stu..?
OH MY GOD how didn't i think of this b4?? Nasty and scary insects fit the tone of the movie way better now that im thinking about it. The only problem is i have zero ideas as to what the main group should be. I have a rough idea for billy and stu tho:
Stu - Brazilian Wandering Spider
I chose this one for a few flimsy reasons; its very big and long-legged (stuilly size difference is like the best part lmfao), its beige which is a color that i associate with him a lot, and its extremely venomous BUT doesn't make webs at all. I feel like that could kinda translate into him obviously being the brawn in the duo and absolutely capable of killing on his own but still at a disadvantage of sorts, you know? If you take webs as a metaphor for scheming and slow-burn manipulation i think it'd make sense to have him be unable of it despite his other abilities.
There's also the way this spider hunts. It doesn't stay in one specific place, it wanders around in search of prey and can directly attack. It reminds me of his frenetic and aggressive nature.
Can't forget about the way in which it dances menacingly. I think its goofy and delightful.
Also death boner lmfao
Billy - Funnel-Web Spider
The web motif is a huge part of why I chose this one; funnel web spiders, as the name suggests, build webs in a tube-like fashion that narrows down the further you go into it. They wait inside the smaller parts until something gets caught on the wide mouth of the tube, which is when they drag it inside to eat. Obvious comparison here to his manipulative tendencies and attack method with the whole 'hiding and striking at the right time' thing
They're usually black with no discernible patterns. Peak Billy vibes.
Their bite is extremely strong, but it isn't as deadly anymore due to modern medicine. I kinda think its comparable to the 'all bark no bite' attitude he displays with Stu
I like to think of their fangs as knives because of their sheer penetrative (haha) power and position on their heads, pointing straight down instead of horizontally.
Thats pretty much it lol

gotta hand it to my parents, they were so bad about getting ready to go anywhere they successfully traumatised me into never being late ever. I am one of the most punctual people I know because my mother couldn't get out the door without screaming at every single family member and she was still at least 15 mins late everytime. my father wanted to be useful so he rushed me and my brother to do god knows what while we stood fully dressed in the doorway holding back tears. dog barking cats jumping on my already hysterical mother. hell on earth. I will do whatever it takes to avoid experiencing this stress again
