Bug blogs please, who is this cute man I saw on the wall at work? He wiggled his mandibles at me and chased a light reflected on the wall before hiding. I don’t believe he’s a high edged wall jumping spider
thank you in advance Bugblr you’re making the kids at work very excited to learn about Bugs!
@onenicebugperday the kids said thank you for telling them (through me) what the cool spider was
A clear slime that reflects the environment around it through its sheer, light blue tinted mass in order to mimic water. It often sits within pools of the boiling water in order to do this, making the slimes’ membrane burning to touch.
Inside the Slime’s permeable membrane is a highly acidic substance designed to dissolve bones. However, this also means that it can dissolve most things that enter it, including rocks, plant matter, and other creatures. The only creature not affected by this acid is their main predator, the Wisps.
Bones make up it’s diet, passively absorbing the bones found in the water that falls onto them. This slurry is shared with the Calcaneus on top of its body. It does not move so long as there is food around.
Once the bone supply started to dwindle, the slime crawls (sometimes bouncing if falling from a height) towards the next nearest source of bones. If this is a creature, it crawls over the creature in confusion as it can sense the bone, but not taste it. Otherwise, it finds the new source and falls dormant.
The more bones a slime eats, the larger it is.
Slimes cannot be killed through most methods, only draining the inside of the slime without disturbing the outside membrane. This is because the membrane heals extremely fast, knitting itself back together. If a full cut is made through the slime, two slimes will be created.
Mirror slimes lack any kind of reproductive organ, nor do they die of old age. Only in cases where it is cut fully through does it reproduce, making two slimes of different sizes in response. The more cuts made, the more slimes produced.
Very passive creatures, with no fear, brain, or centralized nervous system.
A Quick Guide to Damian’s Furry/Feathered/Scaled Companions
LEFT: R:SOB #1 Cover RIGHT: R:SOB #6
GOLIATH THE BAT DRAGON
Introduced in: ROBIN: SON OF BATMAN (2015) #1
DAMIAN'S BABY AND BEASTY BESTIE!! On a mission during the Year of Blood, Damian kills the family of bat dragons guarding his objective. Goliath, despite being the youngest and last of his kind, forgives Damian. Goliath goes on to become one of Damian's most loyal companions, even featuring beside him in Batman Beyond (2016) #10, #11, #43-#47!

TITUS THE DOG
Introduced in: BATMAN AND ROBIN (2011) #2
A Great Dane gifted to Damian from Bruce as an effort in fatherhood. Funny enough, Damian finds him a nuisance at first and briefly refers to him as "Dog". Titus is a good boy that follows Damian's every step, even joining Bruce on his mission to resurrect Damian!

BAT-COW THE COW
Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #1
Bat-Cow, branded with a star signifying which cattle were contaminated, was saved from a slaughterhouse to run some tests (which they do find of a mind control variety). Damian declares himself a vegetarian, and calls her Bat-Cow! She also sorta has a running gag of literally standing in the face of danger to save the day.

ALFRED THE CAT
Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #6
Considered a "hopeless case" by the animal shelter, Alfred gifts him to Damian. The cat is a bold lil guy, which Damian takes an immediate liking to, and names him Alfred (likely because tuxedo cat = butler lol). After hours of chicken, playtime, and scratches, Damian and Alfred become friends! He makes his first appearance alongside Damian’s first appearance as Batman in BATMAN (1940) #666
Introduced in: BATMAN LI'L GOTHAM (2012) #2 (Digital) #1 (Printed)
The Penguin unleashes an army of turkeys at the Gotham Thanksgiving parade which Damian turns into his own li'l turkey march by playing the trumpet. He ends up bringing one of them back for Thanksgiving dinner (as a friend), and Jerry becomes a fairly regular appearance in the world of Li'l Gotham!
*WIGGLES THE DRAGON
Introduced in: NIGHTWING (2016) #42
A sort of filler issue where Damian has been kidnapped for his blood by the "Crimson Kabuki" in Tokyo, and Dick goes through a series of boss battles to save him. The dragon's blood has been the group's main source of power, so it ends up teaming with the duo, and returns home with them.
Wiggles was originally named by a fan, "Shanootnoot" on Twitter!
*Goliath, Titus, Bat-Cow, and Alfred the cat have been Damian's main canon cast of furry companions, but SUPER-PETS SPECIAL: BITEDENTITY CRISIS (2024) may have just added Jerry and Wiggles!!
Did Peri tell Timmy that he was planning to become a Fairy Godparent/that he was assigned a godkid? When we first see the fam reunite in the series, Cosmo and Wanda didn't seem to know.
Timmy had known Peri might pursue becoming a godparent, because Peri had consulted with him about career tracks!! And like. Being the only one invited to Peri's college graduation tends to give Timmy more insight than his parents. Special older brother privileges.
As for being assigned a Godkid, Timmy sorta... Stumbled into it. He found out long before Peri was told he had been given an assignment!
ok so i was trying to get a clip of bj saluting so i could make it into a gif [because my friend uses a gif of mulcahy saluting and i want to get him back] and. bj what was this
Oh hey look another wip from like, 2022 that I never shared 8,D So here's the next one in my animation study series where I try to copy a piece of animation I like (but use my own characters as the models instead)
Anyway, they're dumb, they're idiots, they're in love.
