Maple Love

Resident Human: "Happy National Maple Syrup Day, Mudpie!" Mudpie: "Thank you! So excited for mapley syrups!"

Mudpie: "Original. Not reduced sugar. Mudpie doesn't play games."

Mudpie: "Syrup, syrup, syrup! Resident Human: *chuckles* "Alright, let's just stay calm." Mudpie: "Never! Must appreciate the syrups!"

Resident Human: "There you go!" Mudpie: "Uhhhhhhhmmmm..."

Mudpie: "Surely you jest." Resident Human: "What's wrong?"

Mudpie: "It's mapley syrups day! Have to put syrups in every square!"

Mudpie: "Every... square!"

Resident Human: *laughs* "Alright, alright, don't get your roots in a bunch. There. How's that?"

Mudpie: "Excellent. Mudpie thanks you for your cooperation." Resident Human: "You're at least going to share, right?" Mudpie: "In the spirit of giving season, you can have half of one waffle." Resident Human: *chuckles*

Ah, the problems of a career snacker. Mudpie knows them well, and he sympathizes with Pusheen, for sure. This is why he's very appreciative of quiet snacks, such as marshmallows and donuts! XD

TOP TEN BUGSNAX HIDDEN SECRETS AND FUN FACTS:

Some totally WILD things that YOU might have never known about BUGSNAX!

1. The first Bugsnak created was Rootle, as confirmed in some 2019 interviews with Young Horses. It was also supposed to be the mascot for the series, but Paletoss was the far more cuter mascot.

2. Grumpuses as a species are just genetically modified humans, created eons ago (2016). They were all told to leave Earth, and now all live on the planet the game takes place on. This will be a major plotpoint in Bugsnax 5: We Know The Bugs Are Parasites Again, coming out in 2040.

3. If you jump over the shorter grumpuses (Gramble, Beffica, Wambus, etc), your friendship points with them will go down, and you'll get a stern talking to. Be nice!!!!!!!

4. The player can actually solve the Frosted Peak door puzzle before Major Celebration. Doing this makes 75% of the late game events completely useless, and most of the grumpuses have a high chance of dying. But HEY, you get to find Lizbert!

5. When searching through the game files, you can find models meant for every type of bug and every type of snack that shows up in this game as Bugsnax. Next to Bunger's model files, for example, you'll be able to see a fully modeled cheeseburger and rhinoceros beetle. Really shows you how dedicated these devs were!

6. Cromdo is gay

7. Much like the hidden Triplicate Message in Boiling Bay before the Isle of Bigsnax dlc, when you click Triffany's photobook in her and Wambus' hut, you'll get a message saying "Bronica's Tragic Awful Backstory Is NOT Finished, Now PLEASE Look Away!!!" with a silhouette of Bronica's sticker next to it.

8. The game was set to be released all the way back in 2007, but it was pushed back because Adolescent Horses couldn't figure out what the name for that silly blue guy should be. They went through hundreds, possibly thousands of name choices all those years, but couldn't find one that truly fit that guy. In November 2020, just 2 days before the game released, they got it! They're gonna name that blue guy Philbo.

9. The real villain of the game is that one Flamin' Cheepoof found in Boiling Bay. It may not seem obvious to you, but after listening to what those Old Horses have to say, you'll get it.

10. On the first day of the fourth month of the year 2024, some person with a blog will give out some strange but interesting information about Bugsnax. Don't know why they all waited four years to reveal this information, but whatever.

The TOTALLY REAL and RELIABLE sources for all of these facts have all been compiled into THIS VIDEO! Wow!

It's been a while since a nice, tasty dessert was posted here, and Mudpie thinks that's totally unacceptable. So... he would like to submit for your approval these classic doughnuts. They're one of his favorite desserts! Although, something Mudpie has never quite gotten about doughnuts is... why the holes in the center? He wants the whole thing! =)

Strawberry Shortcake AU Elina! Au by @strabbyshortcake and @disco-descent !!

Her symbiote was originally a white rootle named Pip, Pip has now taken on Mantis Shrimp appearance and the, snack she represents is a Razzberry Parsnip Cupcake

Technically I'm p sure the symbiotes aren't supposed to have a Gender but Pip gets rlly excited abt copying Elina however she can so she just... copy pasted Elina's pronouns (edit: I have been informed that its p normal for them to have a gender since the symbiote is very much an Individual/Singular Snak SO Pip Girl Moments are very canon!)

Most symbiotes emerge from the shoulder or back but Pip likes the fluffy frosting on Elina's chest and pops out from there. She has also popped out from her covered up eye a few times but Elina did NOT like that so Pip's agreed to not do that anymore LMAO

@windpurr, in reference to this post.

Resident Human: "Well, how 'bout it, Mudpie? How many stomach aches have you had in your life?" Mudpie: "All of them. All necessary stomach aches were had by Mudpie."

Resident Human: "Um... no stomach aches are ever necessary..." Mudpie: "Necessary if Mudpie wants to maintain proper snacking levels."

Resident Human: *chuckles* "Oh my gosh..." Mudpie: "I know, right? Mudpie's logic is astounding."

Resident Human: "That's not exactly how I would put it, but- Hey! Now what are you doing?" Mudpie: "All this talk has made Mudpie hungry. Please to be opening pretzels now."

Resident Human: "You shouldn't be having pretzels right now, Mudpie, you just had breakfast." Mudpie: "Okay. No problem. Doritos will work too."

Resident Human: "That's not what I meant!" Mudpie: "Allow Mudpie to clarify situation for you. One of these snacks is happening right now. Please make decision and open. Mudpie thanks you for your cooperation." Resident Human: *facepalms and laughs*

Mudpie thinks this is an amazing idea and recommends that everyone do it! This New Year, make the resolution to improve your snack list! Make it longer, add new and exciting things to it, use colored pencils or inks to write it, add motivating stickers... the possibilities are endless! Timmy is on to something here, for sure. Staying true to oneself and buying snacks are two of Mudpie's favorite pastimes. ❤️

OK OK SO, he's not 100% done, i still need to come up with a proper name and background, but I've got at least his character down!

The man is a cannibal, and due to something that happened to him, he cannot stomach normal human food, like at all, he'll throw it up almost immediately. This dude basically sees person as walking snacks.

I could say he falls into the 'obsessive-sadistic' yandere archetype. He's... a pretty maladjusted individual, so he doesn't know how to express any type of emotion in a healthy manner, especially love. his feelings (both romantic and sexual) mix with his need to consume human meat, tied this up with his sadism, and... let's just say his love interest is NOT going to have a good time, at all lmao.

The base premise for his whole character is the phrase "I'll eat you whole, I'll eat you whole, i love you so" from 'where the wild things are' because i just love the image of loving someone so much you want to consume them.

Anyway those are the basic info you need to know about him! there's more but i don't wanna bother lmao.

Anon, you are literally not bothering me at all I am fascinated by other people’s characters and I love hearing about them and I always feel very special when I get the Lore fed to me directly (whenever a new person with OCs follows me i rootle through their tags and blog like a hungry raccoon).

All of that sounds extremely interesting! I love a sadistic fucked up yandere and yesss consumption as all-encompassing obsession and devotion is . . . so good! I am deeply curious about what might have happened to make him so maladjusted and unable to stomach non-human meat, I am Looking at him!

What's better than fruit and chocolate together? Strawberry Gem can't think of a single thing! Fruit is a very healthy snack and chocolate can definitely cheer you up. She just wants to remind everyone to check your fruit and make sure they aren't actually fruit folk before you eat them. Rootlings don't like to become snacks, after all. XD

A sweet little farm duck with a grubby beak! This darling duckie has clearly been rootling around in the mud looking for tasty snacks!

Yesterday was Earth Day, but did you know that it was also National Jellybean Day too? We would've told you yesterday, but it was difficult to get Mudpie to put his bag of beans down long enough for us to take these photos. Anyway, these rootlings wanted to show off their favorite flavors of jellybeans for everyone. Master Marshmallow loves toasted marshmallow jellybeans, of course. Sweet Miss Morley just adores coconut beans. And Mudpie? Well... he doesn't like to limit himself, so his favorite flavor is... all of them! He prefers to just sit down with a nice assorted bag and enjoy. What's your favorite flavor of jellybeans?

You Bet Your Blueberries, This Is Tasty!

Resident Human: "Okay, Neirin, get ready. You're gonna help me make some blueberry-bottom cupcakes."

Neirin: "Some... some what?"

Resident Human: "Blueberry-bottom cupcakes! They're cupcakes that have a nice gooey blueberry filling in their bottoms." Neirin: "Well, I do like blueberries. And cupcakes. Sounds delicious!"

Neirin: "These blueberries are huge!" Resident Human: "The bigger, the better for these kinds of cupcakes."

Resident Human: "Regular vanilla cake will do, but we're going to use lemon cake to add some extra flavor."

Neirin: "Mmm... blueberry lemon is one of the best flavor combinations." Resident Human: "I agree."

Resident Human: "Careful! Don't fall in!" Neirin: "I won't!"

Resident Human: "Mixy, mixy..."

Resident Human: "Alrighty, now we put the batter into the cupcake wrappers." Neirin: "What about the blueberries?" Resident Human: "The batter goes in first."

Neirin: "But... but I thought these were blueberry-bottom cupcakes?" Resident Human: "They will be. Let's get the blueberries on top. Two big ones per cupcake should do the trick." Neirin: "I'm so confused..." Resident Human: "Trust the process, my friend."

Neirin: "What happened to the blueberries?! They're all gone!" Resident Human: "That's the magic!"

Resident Human: "The idea is to use big blueberries that will sink as the batter cooks so they end up on the bottom. If you use smaller ones, they may not sink fully, and if you put them on the bottom to start, they'll cook too fast and become burnt and crispy. This way, you end up with a nice, gooey, blueberry filling!" Neirin: "Shut the front door." Resident Human: "I kid you not!"

Resident Human: "Let's take one and top it off with some lemon icing. Creamy lemon supreme, to be exact." Neirin: "The suspense is killing me." Resident Human: "Patience, my friend."

Resident Human: "Aaaaand... voila!" Neirin: "Wow, that looks sooooo delicious!"

Neirin: "I'm sorry I ever doubted you." Resident Human: "It's quite alright."

Neirin: "I just have one more question." Resident Human: "What's that?" Neirin: "Is this one mine?" Resident Human: *chuckles* "It sure is, little buddy."

"Look, I don't need anything bank-breaking," she said, and toed another to rootle through his pockets. Mentats. Rad-X. A picture of a pin up whose cleavage had been scratched away for whatever reason. That, she pocketed. She was fond of pretty girls, however imaginary or long-lost to the wastes that they were.

"Think fast," she said, and tossed a portion of the chems to him. Fuck knows, maybe the ghoul had a better use for them than she did. "Just a few comfort items. I'm in dire need of some leather, and maybe a pack of snack cakes. I've more than enough coin to cover it and something nice for yourself. Even if they hike up the prices."

Cooper gives a soft hum, finding it more than easy to believe that she scares folks off. Ghouls like himself, depending on the town, do that plenty themselves and she is…something else. What? He doesn’t know nor does he deem it prudent to ask. It doesn’t matter to him in the end.

“Well, I can’t promise I’d be much better off than you, dependin’, but if you got somethin’ you need, I’ll lend a hand. As a thanks for…this,” he replies, gesturing to the many bodies littered about. He’s not always feeing so generous but with his sights on a new goal, he won’t take assistance for granted.

Ashleaf, ever our little diva and sparkle princess, brought to my attention that I've never attempted any sort of funfetti cake before. It isn't hard, it just never crossed my mind. So, I picked up some mix and we decided to have a little fun. The little party bits were already in the mix, their bright shade came out in the batter the moment it was all mixed up. Ashleaf couldn't contain herself as we shared a coconut, mango, and pineapple flavored drink together while the cake baked. And then... voila! Funfetti! If you've ever had store-bought plain vanilla cake and been utterly disappointed with a stale or chemical aftertaste, then this cake is for you. It tastes exactly how that birthday or party cake should taste, with no terrible aftertaste whatsoever. It met all of Ashleaf's expectations too, especially once we added the creamy vanilla icing. This will definitely be a repeat purchase for us! 💗
