Suddenly inspired by @punishdsin to post a thought but attempting to convince Osmund that indiscriminate murder, cannibalism & parasitism of human beings is wrong / something he should feel sorry for will never be possible. Osmund, with the brain & biology of a highly intelligent parasitoid, is more familiar with the eusociality & nature of insects than he is with human beings. He is hardwired more in the sense of arthropods, which can suggest why his emotions are so cold & utterly disturbing at times. It is why he is naturally drawn to group organization or group thinking, with bugs behaving as a biological hivemind colony ( obviously not telepathically ).

He views humans ( for the most part ) in the same lens as a parasitic wasp seeing a caterpillar as prey. It is necessary & part of his species survival to inflict mass amounts of suffering in order to procreate. He is not going to feel guilty about being born what he is & that he plays a predatory role in a vast ecosystem of hosts, but it is something that he wholeheartedly acknowledges & will express. Osmund, as well as the other zealots, are aware that they are 'cursed' & have uncontrollable lusts for blood, flesh & implantation. It is what separates them from other human beings, which are infected but 'passable' on the inside & out. They mutated generationally from their descendants, it is in their DNA.

Of course, there will always be outliers, gradual scales of behavior & some parasitic species may act strangely towards / with their prey if it is mutually beneficial. It's also researched that wasps can recognize "good" & "bad" faces, that they can learn routines & even be fed / cared for by humans. The zealots are intelligent enough to exhibit these same behaviors with outsiders, but they will always value their kind FIRST, which is the important distinction. If you set them off, they swarm, just as insects do.

It is a bit similar to the parable of the scorpion & the frog, with the scorpion unable to resist its natural urge to sting, but it also chose to be honest about it to the frog. This level of frankness gives the scorpion a certain charm & tragic dignity. Yes, they did form an entire religion about propagating their species, but hosts at their core, without outside influence, will always seek out other hosts to infest. They are, by nature, self-destructive, only concerned about the preservation of their Master, & the Master of his own body.

I'm going to cause you to see a big bug out of the corner of your eye that is gone when you come back with a book to kill it

continued from x. @masterporky

"Remove something...?" There are some things he's never been able to fix. His powerlessness, technically, isn't fixed. And he did hate his 'monstrous' features at first, and at some point in the past tried to undo his own work... but, nothing. You'd think 'working backwards' would be work enough, but it turns out it's a lot more complicated than that.

"You'll have to elaborate. There's some things I can't exactly 'fix,' for a lack of better words. If you want less limbs or features, I'm not confident I can do that. I can change arms to flippers, though, or fuse your legs into a lizard's tail. Or I can add features." Don't have enough spider limbs? He can add ten more if Pokey wants! The possibilities are almost endless.

Vent: TW for insects, sickness

y'all i am in agony rn today's been so garbage-

First I couldn't sleep last night because i found a nest of a n t s in my room and my parents told me to just spray them with the bathroom cleaner we use for the shower. long story short, it smelled like bleach and it gave me a headache that's persisted to this afternoon-

and now i think the bleach just made me hella sick because i've been randomly falling asleep all day and and now my stomach hates me in a number of ways and i was in the bathroom crying in pain for like an hour i stg i want to cry, die, or both, i feel like legit garbage-

i wanted to draw and write for a friend today but i guess life said 'no fuck you' today :(

🐝🍯 It's Bees! 🐝

Hey, back on my bullshit here; it's Apiary Gender time again! Why? Got bored. Posted. Nothing more to it tbh

Anyway, I published a teensy proof of concept Apiary fic here. Behold: an Apiary infection inception! 🐝

Yes yes it's also very silly BUT to seal the deal, take this uquiz with all my pride and joy: a good-old-fashioned "which bee gender are you" quiz! 🐝🏳️‍⚧️

And, no, you don't have to know anything about the dynamics at play to take it. It's as silly and as shallow as it gets. I thought adding homework would detract from the fun and all that.

(Thank you everyone online at midnight in the haunting heroes server for letting me beta test this on you! 🧡)

💛🍯 Forgot what Apiary Genders are? Click here! It's bees! It's bees. What wolves are to the omegaverse, bees are to Apiary— and yet, despite our best efforts, it's not even nsfw. Sad. Alexa play party rock by lmfao, please. Obviously no two gender expressions are the same between any two individuals, so why not make it worse? 🐝 with bees? 🏳️‍⚧️

🐝Now available on Ao3! 🐝🍯 If you end up posting anything to ao3, it can now be listed as an inspiration!

There may be more stuff coming in the future, but I don't know it! This is all the stuff I had backlogged in this concept. If we're lucky, more things may be coming soon...from other authors, even...

Happy buzzing! 🥰🍯🐝

we're so back baby

making more malev art that is completely divorced from the context of the show, i'm so sorry

[ljesak]

not sure what my anthro bug audience is but my friend requested these and i had so much fun

[darkwingsnark]

Dawns on me I have no reason NOT to post this here. Was a gift I worked on for my brother-in-law's mother's birthday yesterday. They recently lost their dog Max, and I thought doing something in memoriam might help.

Tent caterpillars!!

I was skateboarding with my cousin and we came across them by a creek

I initially thought they were webworms, but they tend to come out in the fall, while tent caterpillars come out in the spring

this is what they'll look like grown up
