#bug talk

[littlebug-boy]

i saw someone say this before and i cannot remember who but it has been revolving through my head recently so i need to talk about it

kristen is advocating for cassandra in the completely wrong way. she keeps saying that cassandra is the god of doubt and mystery which isn’t necessarily something people want to worship

when in reality cassandra is the god of finding comfort in doubt and mystery, she is the god of finding calm in the unknowing of the night, she is like believing in the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel and even though it may be dark and scary right now and you’re not sure of what that light is ahead, there is comfort it the doubt and there is hope

im not sure if this makes any sense but i hope you get my point

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

[bugbonz]

i love the difference between Merlin being overprotective of Arthur and Arthur being possessive of Merlin.

like...in my eyes, they come from the same place, the same feelings for each other. but they show it in these two very different yet very similar ways bc of their respective upbringing

some more of the butt crushers

random rainworld (mostly about vanilla) thoughts under cut warning loooooong

i really like anthropomorphizing (i didn’t realize the word was that long???) the scugs,

but i also think part of the game’s charm is the feeling of being a little beast and not understanding but learning over time.

you learn how to use your movement skills, it feels like starting as a slugpup and then trial and error and trial and error and trial

you are quite literally dropped into an alien world, and have to use your instincts that “giant lizard chasing me bad” and “fruit and bat edible” and it’s really immersive.

after playing for hours and hours and hours it may not feel like you’re making progress but you’re moving through the cycle faster. you’re optimizing where you’ll go and you’re improving your movement and it’s amazing

not even mentioning the structures oh my god. the world is so so beautiful and you don’t understand it but you learn it. does that make sense even. it may not seem like much, the starting areas are quite grey mostly but your brain learns the like. see the world

you learn what to expect from each region usually pretty quick and eventually you adapt

yes a lot of rain world is wandering and dying, over and over and over

but i think that’s what makes it beautiful, i like the dp scug abilities, you also learn how to use them and what to expect and you wander and such, but the vanilla ones are very atmospheric in a way? (so is saint though saint’s world is GORGEOUS i won’t even lie)

bot to mention the superstructures. i think my thoughts would be even less articulated about those. just ooooouuughhhh. also not to mention the overwhelmingly beautiful ending area. ooughghhghghghghghghhghghg oh my godddd.

rain world is so bugs to me. you are a little buggish slug rodent creature and you don’t know what’s going on but you will learn how to survive (haha survivor) and you will explore all of the regions and it is so funnnnnnn

i havem’t played enough downpour to really have thoughts about it initial impressions are, maybe just since it takes place in the same areas you feel less lost but that’s not really the point of their campaigns. i do think they’re fun just in a distinctly different way

when i see tierlists i often see the vanilla slugs, specifically survivor and monk put low and i know why, but for me nothing has yet beat the emotions the survivor campaign invoked tbh

except for saint. oh my god saint. saint campaign oooougughghhg. AANWAWSSWAWAWAWAWA tearing up scewaming rolling around rocking back and forth gripping onto a nearby surface so tightly shaking a stuffed ankmal. AAGAGAGHAHGAHAGAHHA OUGHGHHGHG. AGAGAWAGWGAGWGAGWGAWAWAWAWAWAA AWAWGAAGAGA AWAGAGAGA AWAGAWAAAAA.

hope this provides some insight zbout how i feel about the saint campaign. i’ve barely even played any of it (spoilered myself to all campaigns very early on cause im bad and probably wont beat most cries) but i could literally cry over it right now. i could literally burst into tears and cry snd sob and scream and wail and mourn and grieve and die violently. i could explode. i could die. right now

conclusion: wawawawawagagawawagawa.🕳️

Opinion on these bugs?

Moths?

Bees? (My personal favorite)

Beetles?

Aphids?

Wasp?

Aspids?

Ants?

Pill bugs/roll-polies

Hmmm!

moths: I absolutely love moths,, they’re so pretty and unique and honestly such a joy to see. We also get Lunar moths down where I’m at so I’ve had a few lucky encounters with those! (Moths are also my personal favorite to pin second to bees and butterflies!)

Bees!!! I love bees!! They’re so cute and dumb and all around are such cool creatures, my personal favorite type of bees are mason bees!!

beetles,,, they’re so stupid looking I love them. I hold a personal hatred for junebugs though since one got caught in my hair once and it freaked me out. Other then that beetles are super cool

aphids, they’re super invasive down here so I don’t really like them all too much, wooly aphids are cute though

wasps, I hold a personal hatred towards wasps, specifically yellow jackets since once stung me in my ear once and I still have slight (not very prominent anymore) hearing difficulties in that ear (mainly how that ear is much more sensitive then the other. I already have sensory issues that make loud noises be painful but it’s a lot more prominent in that one then it is the other).

I don’t know if Aspids are a real bug or not but I’m just going to assume you’re referring to primal aspids so. KILL THEM ALL I HATE THEM I HATE THEM THEY ENDED MY F**KING STEEL SOUL RUN ONCE I HATE ASPIDS

Ants, we have a MAJJOORRRRRRR ant problem all across the state where I’m at (to the point where I thought bugles picnics were just a thing in storybooks, no I’m not joking). So I have very mixed opinions. When I went outta state once I was amazed by the fact that I could actually sit OUTSIDE and not have to be checking my legs every 30 seconds to make sure there were no bugs on them. I seriously have never been able to just. Go outside and sit by a tree without having to worry about getting bitten.

ROLLY POLLIES,,,, BABIES,,. LITTLE GUYS,,,, WAAAAAAAAAAAAH THEY ARE. SO CUTE AND TEENSY AND WAAAAAH I LOVE THEM,, someday I wanna start my own little pill hug terrarium tank and get some of the fancier breeds of them because AAAAA I love pill bugs,,,

totally normal things to say to your sibling

"Yeah no, if you hated ants but loved termites, I'd have to disown you as a sister."

-me to kait, discussing ants, like you do.

Merlin's magic isn't a thing or a weapon.

It's part of Merlin, living and breathing and loving, just as Merlin himself does.

The magic figured out their feelings long before the man, not held back by societal hierarchies and fears. So, long before Merlin ever admitted his feelings to himself, every time they were in close proximity, his magic was straining and eager to try to get to the object of their affection.

Every day Merlin felt like he was holding back an overexcited cat that kept trying to wriggle from his grasp to wind around Arthur and stay there, in his warmth, forever.

Every casual touch between them had Merlin's magic purring in his chest and surging up to meet the touch, matching Arthur's warmth with its warmth.

Every smile and wayward glace left Merlin's magic ruffled and excited, doing happy little zooms inside him.

When Merlin did finally recognize his own feelings, his magic only got more excited. It took everything the poor man had in him to hold it back.

When the two finally kissed, Merlin couldn't contain it anymore. His magic surged out in a warm pulse and golden glow, wanting to kiss Arthur as well.

And Arthur had never felt or seen something so beautiful.

If Zote became a pathetic brand sexyman like Spamton overnight how would you feel/react?

[partyswirl]

I think slugcats are like sharks in that they have teeth but no other bones

agree!! the slippery little fellows

and after looking uo more facts avout sharks. apparently thry have teeth over their skin (dermal denticles/placoid scales)???

which idk if any scugs would have. it would make their skin tougher but they’d also be rough like sandpaper

and i imagine most scugs are quite squishy and not very tough considering they get insta killed a lot <— bolded cause it’s like ghe thing that ends up confusing me

maybe riv has it cause apparently it makes swimming easier i think, but it’d have to be kinda thin or weak cause theyre still squishy? idk

wait im gonna look more stuff up

ok other option for cartilaginous (cartilage instead of bones) fish are scutes (whcih also serve as turtle shell plating, crocodile skin, and armor for some ticks) but those are also pretty tough

i kept looking up cartilaginous mammals and all that came up was spec bio (basically making your own species but considering how theyd survive and how they evolved and stuffs i think)

and only a little bit was found there so idk how it’d actually work loll,

but rain world is an alien planet so it’s literally speculative biology cause all the creatures are aliens

short answer i looked stuff up got confused about skin but i agree eith you that thing is BONELESS 👍

added bolds and italics so it’s les sboring to read/harder to get distracted

posted this early before i fully added it d’aww mannnn. it looks kinda silly anyway im bad at texturing my beeg posts i just add

a
