one of the joys of finishing children of time is a bunch of fans making sure to reply to almost every single "woah! Portia spiders are so intelligent" comment with an "allow me to introduce you to CoT books!!" and promote them with the vigour of a bachelor in marketing degree. You can nearly feel the overly enthusiastic desire to infodump behind their comments (tbh same). Shout-out to those meme spreading fellow spider fans, I salute you.

The Spider's Promise
I've been sick the last week and reread Children of Time, so I had to draw something spider-related - The Red Goddess encountering Arachne Solara in this case - to get it out of my head. I highly recommend the book, it's one of my all-time favorites.

Portia: Okay, I'm kinda freaking out right now. I mean, you're supposed to be dead.
Lucio: Surprise!
[She messes with his gauntlet]
Lucio: Oh, okay. That's... that's a no-no. We don't like that.
Portia: This is fascinating [she smooshes his lips]
Lucio: Okay, that's my face.

By the way I have a webcomic
Wayyy back during the pandemic, I started a series of comic strips to keep myself sane, as well as improve my comic making skills.
I'm still working on it, even if other developments in the past several years have slowed down update speeds.
It's still just my space for exploring and drawing, but I thought it couldn't hurt to link it to my account, esp since I've been managing a side account that is slowly reposting the comic!
(and also means I can post art from that universe here)
(that's right bitches you're getting another WIP filled with OCs on this blog)
It's about a spider lady struggling to raise her thousands of kids
Featuring: Visible art development over several years!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Giant bisexual spider lady!
Tumblr media
And aggressively adorable baby spiders!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah, feel free to check it out if it's your thing
Edit: can't believe I made this whole thing and forgot to post links! Here's my tumblr acc
Here it is on Webtoon

actually i think jumping spiders *should* be portiid-sized (like a basketball in circumference with their legs curled up), and about as intelligent as a cat, and i should be able to have one as a pet
Tumblr media
^i want a cat-sized one of these in my house being a lovable little mischief-maker that can tapdance on my bed to wake me up in the morning so i can give her food and skritches and attention
pedipalps doing the little flappy thing like cat ears do
every couple months i could go to the vet for assistance with moulting
need big spooder to bother me in weird ways and leave hairs and webbing in weird places
i can see her make a little web-nest in the upper corner of the room
but alas it's not to be

Clever girl.
This little cutie is Portia, a beautiful, and probably the most intelligent spider that we know of.
Tumblr media
This is what peak performance looks like. Sorry I didn’t make the rules. Spiders in the genus Portia are intensively studied for their seemly intelligent hunting behaviour. They are known to learn from mistakes if they fail a hunt, and can even plan routes when tackling dangerous prey, such as an orb-weaver spider. After all, one miscalculation can be fatal. They have also been observed to pluck the webs of spiders to lure them into a vulnerable spot. Cool, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not far away from the female, is this spindly male Portia. Maybe not quite as flashy, but really cool still.
You may notice that he lost 2 of his limbs and a pedipalp. Portia are actually pretty well-known for their tendency to lose limbs readily, and females are known for their AGGRESSIVE mating behaviour, whether it’d be eating before and after mating. Wonder if he got laid, whether successful or unsuccessful, or simply looking for a lady.
I’ll be visiting the place tomorrow morning, let’s see if we find more (:
