Bugtober 2024 Day 14: Bounties

This was a fun one to do, even if it doesn't have much to do with Bounties specifically.

...I dunno, the False Monarch's neat. Have fun!

Out in the Forsaken Lands, far away from both the Ant and Termite Kingdoms, lay a city of perfectly normal insects that don't go around luring in randos that they then proceed to kill and maybe eat. The people of this society live entirely average lives, doing nothing dangerous or out of the ordinary, living just as anyone else would. Their faces are often sideways or upside down and some of them have more eyes than they maybe should and in general the kind of Insect that they are is ambiguous but they're still your usual, average, every day folks.

So, like, the king of this place was sitting on his throne one day, minding his own business, when one of his subjects came up to his throne with a funny-looking paper.

False Citizen: Greeting, my king [singular]. I will now bow to you because this is what followers of a monarchy are supposed to do lest they be thrown into a dungeon or something to that effect.

False Monarch: Wah, indeed! What's that you're holding? Is it paper? Or skin? What is skin, anyway?

False Citizen: It matters not, my lord [again, just the one]. It has writing on it, as well as your...visage? Visage, is that a word?

False Monarch: Wah dunno.

False Citizen:...Anywho, Take a look:

BOUNTY

FALSE MONARCH

REWARD: A LAST STAND MEDAL

LOCATION: THE FORSAKEN LANDS

False Monarch: Weh, it is me! And what are those scribbly bits above and below myself?

False Citizen: I dunno, looks like garbage.

False Monarch: Waha, I love garbage! Give it here!

The False Citizen gives their (as in singular "they", obviously) king the paper, which he proceeds to stick into his cloak and chew up.

False Monarch: Wehhhhh...6/10, I've had better trash.

It's at that point that a loud burst of murmuring breaks out amongst the other members of the certainly-not-false society. The False Monarch and the False Citizen he was speaking to exit the throne tent room and find a bizarre trio of Bugs staring at them, with a tiny Chomper following along.

Horned Green Bug: Dibbydibbydubdub, dooby dug!

Little Yellow Bug: Buzz booz, buzz booz?

Lanky Blue Bug: Fffsseh fseh, ffffsoffso.

Tiny Chomper: Fuck.

False Monarch: Weh, hello visitors! Welcome to our humble home! "Our" referring to my entire kingdom, of course, and not me individually, for I am indeed an individual.

False Citizen: I think you specifically are allowed to just say "our", actually, even solo.

False Monarch: Wah, really? Oh cool! (To the weird Bugs) Doesn't that sound cool, guys?

LYB: BUZZABUZZABOOZABOOZA!

The Little Yellow Bug throws a weird, crescent-shaped thing at the False Monarch, and not only does it smack him upside the head it flies back to do it a second time.

False Citizens: GASPING SOUNDS!!!

False Monarch: Waaaaooowww, wah'd you do that for???

LBB: Fsssfsssfss...

LYB: Booz, bozz.

After that they group start doing a bizarre series of things: the Green Bug shoves a rotten meal down the Yellow Bug's maw, the Blue Bug starts yelling at the Yellow Bug, the Chomper just kinda dances in place, and the Yellow Bug starts eating these funny-shaped brown beans.

False Citizen:...Yo boss, I think these guys are kinda stoopid.

False Monarch: Wehhhh, are you okay-

The False Monarch gets obliterated by the Yellow Bug, and by the time it's done all that's left is a small purple robe and his busted up face. The False Citizens all run off in terror, meanwhile the terrifying Yellow Bug grabs the Monarch's crown off of his remains.

LYB: Booz buzz booz!

HGB: Doba doba doba!

TC: Fuck!

The weirdo Bugs yuk it up and head off, taking the stolen crown with them. Once it's confirmed that they're gone the False Citizens step out in varying levels of fear. They look to the purple robe...and watch as several pained, frustrated Mothflies come out of it. One gets up and is particularly angry-looking.

Mothfly A: Damn it! How long have we been sitting around, trying to be a society, only to get interrupted by douchebags coming out of nowhere and just attacking us!?!?

Mothfly E: My buttocks hurt.

Mothfly A: We're trying to be civilized! We got buildings!

One of the buildings collapses.

Mothfly: We got culture!

A False Citizen: Your mom.

Another False Citizen: Is that a joke?

A False Citizen: Yes.

Another False Citizen: I hate you.

Mothfly A: We've even got commerce!

False Citizen Next to a Food Stand: And soon we'll even have soul-crushing capitalism! :D

Mothfly A:...Y'know what? Let society rot ! Let """""civilization""""" rot! Let all those fancy shmancy creations of so-called cultured insects eat my round-ass ass!

The False Citizens all cheer and begin flying out of their costumes, revealing all of them to be Mothflies, proud and true.

Mothfly A: We're Mothflies, and that's that! If they don't like it?

Mothflies: They can SUCK! OUR! NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mothfly A: (While doing a crotch chop motion) We! Are! Moth! Flies! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!!!!

In a large, terrifying swarm, the Mothflies rise into the air and laugh collectively.

Mothfly A: We'll show all those other Bugs who's really at the top! And I know just where to start...

Patton the Acorn Weevil was sitting in his lab, napping in his arms again whilst at his work station. Eventually he woke up to a weird smell.

Patton: Ehhhh bubbabubba, bleh, ech...*sniff* *sniff*...

There is frass all over his floor.

Patton: Gods damn it! You can't even go into torpor without someone poo'ing on your property!

Me, an occultist who's seen way too much shit: *Personally goes and locates extremely obvious cases of memory confabulation, like New Agers "remembering" past lives based on racist New Age pseudohistory*

Project Monarch true believers: "Ugggghhhh you're just getting your information from the Grey Faction and the False Memory Syndrome Foundation!!!!"

[depthstracking]

"WeeELL he[e]llo! You seem 1nterest1ng.. What d1d you say your serv1ces were for aga1n..?"

[*A soft purple glow illuminates the area, and in it was the face of a jester king. Noli, who looks rather intrigued.*]

Hm?

Oh. Hello there. I'm a tracker. I find targets, check their names on the list, and send my connections after them.

If it's dire enough, I deal with it myself.

Day 14! I didn’t have my usual device I draw on so today looks a bit choppier than my others

[king-drawsstuff]

I'd love to see you draw any of the BF Queens, honestly (my fave's Bianca but you can draw who you want). Alternatively, if you want something more monstrous, I'd like to see the False Monarch. Whatever you feel like, hope you enjoy yourself!

loveee these designs alot<33

[violentale]

I still have work to do, but I will share the pictures of the current Violentale Monsters.

[froakietw]

Just some bugs <3

[bisexuals-agenda]

I love this so dang much! ❤️

hear me out.....

Sander Bugs...... it's them but it's bugs..............

does anyone share my vision-

im not the best at drawing insects, so in case it's hard to tell: Virgil is a spider, Roman is a butterfly, Remus is a moth, Logan is an ant, Janus is a wasp and Patton is a bee.

(click the thingy if you'd like to indulge me in more details lmao)

Virgil, the spider: he already has spiders motifs. Also, spider webs can work as a metaphor for falling down an anxiety spiral (one step down a slippery slope and you're unable to get out).

Roman, the butterfly: the (mostly agreed upon) prettiest bug, for the prettiest boy in the party™. They're not overly romanticized in media for nothing lol. And of course, he's a "monarch butterfly".

Remus, the moth: "like moths to a flame" that represents self-destructive behaviour (unable to go against a desire that ultimately harms you, and could be your doom). Also, he shares the buttlerfly similarity with Roman. Plus he's a nuisance to your wardrobe

Janus, the wasp: they can sting without dying, having more of a defense purpose. Acting as Thomas' self-preservation, he acts like a last line of defense. And the yellow and black color scheme suits him nicely.

Logan, the ant: they're hard-working, resourceful and persevering. Those are pretty much words that easily describe Logan as well. And if anyone would be able to carry two times his own weight, it would be him (?)

Design fun fact: his extra set of arms are retractable! He uses them when he needs and extra pair of hands (lmao). Patton can do this too

Patton, the bee: hard-working too, but more centered in providing for others: he provides the others with affection and dinner (lol). He's sweet as honey. Their existence is helpful to the environment, and Patton's existence is helpful to my mental health /hj

i'd love to hear your own interpretations or even assign them different bugs !!! dont be shy

[wtfgaylittlezooid]

the sniler,,,,

[maybegayphe]

So has anyone made a Cubic Zirconia gemsona who's essentially a fake diamond? That'd be a neat idea.

Infinite Regression in LDS Beliefs: Speculation vs. Doctrine

In a recent post published at the Life After Ministry blog, “Who is the LDS Heavenly Father’s Father?“ the contributing writer quotes Orson Pratt from the Seer, p. 132: We were begotten by our Father in heaven; the person of our Father in Heaven was begotten on a previous heavenly world by His Father; and again, He was begotten by still a more ancient Father Critics, like Life After Ministry,…

I didn't realise that Anastasia's imposters were impostering the position of russian royal imposters.

Not only did I miraculously survive the first assassination you all know about, I also survived the assassination attempt on that other impostor too

[creature-wizard]

oh yeah i don’t rely on false memory foundation or grey faction either but people still consistently bring them up in response to my and others’ attempts to discuss this issue. no mention of either group in sight and people still go ‘you sound just like these groups/you’re using these groups’ talking points/you know that info all comes from these groups right’ and that’s more what i don’t know how to combat.

Yeah, I've never gotten that from people. I couldn't tell you for sure whether it's because I make it very clear that pulling this card on me would mean they'd also have to bat for racist New Age conspirituality, but this is what I do every time I talk about confabulated memories and I never get this from people.

(If you've encountered this post out of context and you're confused, this is about the people who defend the Project Monarch alter programming conspiracy theory. To see the very obvious examples of memory confabulation I'm talking about, you can click here and here.)
