There’s something so pretty about how moths are addicted to light.

Also moths don’t get enough praise compared to butterflies???

Happy Witchcore Samantha Wednesday!

For those of you who are new here, this orginally stemmed from my obsession with Sam Winchester and Sastiel in the Supernatural fandom, and in an attempt to provide Sam a better life, I created an AU with a transgender MtF witchcore Samantha, a genderfluid cottagecore beekeeper/gardener Castiel, and non-binary toddler Jack Kline.

New audiences call for a slight change in direction, and while Samantha, Cas, Jack, and I are still available to answer questions about the family, Witchcore Samantha Wednesdays will now be focusing on making moodboards that fit the cottagecore and witchcore vibe. Suggestions and prompts are always welcome, just shoot me an ask or a DM!

This week's moodboard is moths! I love all butterflies and moths, especially the cute fuzzy ones! I hope you enjoy these! I am extremely serious about needing suggestions in order to continue providing quality content, whether it be anonymous one word prompts, or elaborate collaborative pieces sent through DMs (next week's board is on French winter fashion). Anything and everything is appreicated, don't be shy!

*As with the rest of my moodboards, none of these pictures are my own, and I claim no credit for any art or design used, only for the concept created*

Okay but, IMAGINE THIS -

The Dimitrescu daughters, but they're MOTHS. Blood-sucking, lamp loving, manthing-killing moths. Just, I love this idea.

Imagine they're getting all overexcited and violent so Lady D just whips out a lamp and that just absolutely mesmerises them....like, they live in an old fashioned castle with only oil lamps and classic fireplaces, so any electrical lamp or flashlight would just blow their minds.

Speaking of fireplaces! I headcanon that Lady D had to install like a metal mesh covering so her beloved children wouldn't just swarm into the fire

I know they have quite a bit of intelligence but we see in game that it kinda devolves when faced with the thrill of the hunt (like, they literally seem to lose the capacity to stop attacking even when getting closer and closer to death), and if they were moths I think the same thing would happen as soon as light is involved. a literal moth to flame situation

Like imagine they're chasing prey and they're so close to catching them, so close they can practically taste the blood already and - ooh lämp

Also of they were moths, hypothetically the cold would only paralyse them, like butterflies and moths irl.

And lastly! I think they'd all be different types of moths!

Bela, I think, would be a Luna moth! I know it doesn't match her choker colour, but I just feel like it fits. Idk, I just sort of equate a nice vivid green with intelligence and she's the most level-headed of the sisters? Also that would make her bigger than her sisters, as Luna moths reach an avarage wingspan of 3 - 4.5 inches (according to Google).

But if I were to match with her colour I think she'd be a cinnabar moth. The black and red just suits her perfectly

Now, Cassandra would be a Death's head hawkmoth. No, you cannot convince me otherwise. It has a SKULL on its back, its a widely recognised symbol of death and it even matches her choker! It also makes this hella cool clicking/chirping/gargling sound to ward of predators and I just LOVE it imagine you're being chased by this bloodthirsty lady that's actually a moth swarm and that's all you can hear-

Dani would either be a common emerald moth (to match her choker), or a common clothes moth. She would 100% hold some form of resentment for bearing the title of 'common', and meybe would feel a little insecure if she wasn't as unique or brightly coloured as her sisters. She would also be the sister to frequently have a good munch on her mother's clothes and curtains, much to Alcina's dismay :(

(But lemme tell ya, I've raised enough moths to know that they are ALL flappy fluttery little sweethearts regardless of colouration. They're all perfect in my damaged eyes)

The moths, for reference -

(Please note that these are just images I've pulled from Google for the purposes of this post they don't actually belong to me at all)

Cinnabar moth (Bela)

Luna moth (Bela)

Death's head Hawkmoth (Cassandra)

Common Emerald Moth (Daniela)

Common clothes moth (Daniela)

I also fully believe that Hesienberg would install moth traps to lure and kill them if ever they went to the factory 😥

(Scale?) model of a deaths head hawkmoth I made for art class.

Still don’t know what I want to do with it lol.

I could pin it bc then I would loose the details on the bottom. I do have a wasps nest I was planning on displaying it on but I’m not sure if I want to dismantle the wasps nest to do that. Anyway, enjoy bug :]

Woo Bugs 😍😍😍🤧😍

My favorite moth the Cecropia moth took me 17 hours to finish it 👍🏽

[sabertooth1526]

Back at it again with some really cool bugs!

Here is the Pellucin Hawk Moth. This one I have been trying to snap a photo of for a couple weeks but they're really fast and never seem to want to land. Definitely one of the coolest Moths I've seen so far.
