(Turning this into it's own post cause I'll be rambling a lot)
Tumblr media
I've been wanting to put my Bug Folk lore into those like- journal page type things so it feels like you're reading research papers over them
Tumblr media
But-... knowing me, that'll take forever. I'm still going to do it! But I want people to know more about my little Bug Folk immediately since they're so important to me right now. So I'm just gonna post infodumps about them that will later be compiled into journal pages.
SO! Infodump about these silly bugs below :>
Basic info:
So Bug Folk- Little tiny anthropomorphic creatures that resemble bugs. They can be insects, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, etc. (Yes I know some of these aren't bugs, but I'm including them anyways).
They can vary a lot in size (depending on what type of bug they are) but they're mostly around 3-1 inches tall. Average being 2 inches.
It's a bit hard to calculate a Bug Folk's lifespan since most of them become Bug Folk fully matured (more on that later). Though, most bugs will live up to 30-40 years after becoming Bug Folk
They all contain magic within their being. Not all of them can use or wield magic (in fact, strong magic users are not the most common), but they all are part magic. This is because they are all created with magic.
How Bug Folk are Made:
Awakened Bugs - (Almost) all Bug Folk will start of as normal bugs. To become Bug Folk, an already existing Bug Folk needs to take a normal bug and use magic to awaken them into Bug Folk. It can either be just one really strong magic user or a team of magic users working together. Then boom!- They got an intelligent mind and a humanoid body. They will also be fully mature when they're awaken (that is... as long as the bug was fully mature once awakened)
Born Bugs - Another way Bug Folk are made is to be born from the combination of two already awaken Bug Folk. This will cause those two Bug Folk to die for the birth of this new bug, as their souls are given up to create a new life. But this bug will have the combine strengths and magic ability of their parents
However, it's not always guaranteed that a bug will be born even when the parents give up their life for it. Also, that bug won't be full matured once created like normal awaken bugs are and will take them a long time to develop into maturity. They have to grow from egg to adult after all. They also don't have the fast growth speed of a normal bug. It's more on par with a human, so it'll take a good couple years until they become an adult.
Even though born Bug Folk are stronger, it's considered more convenient to just awaken bugs instead. Although- born Bug Folks are the only way hybrid bugs can come to be.
Bug Lifestyles:
The type of bug that's awakened/born usually qualifies what kind of skills they have. For example, Beetles are normally a lot bigger and stronger so tend to be used for fighting. Spiders tend to be more skilled craftsmen. Ants are a jack of all trade species
When they're awaken, they'll either have one of two lifestyles: Social or Traveler
The social bugs - These bugs live and work together in a community that's hidden from humans. It's usually created from the ground up with a powerful magic Bug Folk awakening a whole bunch on bugs to work for them, turning that bug into a Royal Bug. This is most common with bee, ant, wasp, termites, etc. Bug Folk.
Social bugs have the benefit of protection and resources but usually meant to live in a strict hierarchy. With the Royal Bug on top, a few nobility, and many soldiers and workers at the bottom of that hierarchy
Then there are the traveler bugs - These are Bug Folk that don't live with any established social bug community. Either they were exiled from their past society, left on their own, or was awakened to that lifestyle (Though that is rare to happen)
They are much more free to do whatever they want but don't have the protection and resources that Social bugs do. And despite not being social bugs, they still tend to travel in groups for better survival. Though lone bugs aren't unheard of, those are usually ones that are powerful enough to survive by themselves.
They are also the ones that humans will most often see. And since the more chaotic one usually are travelers, humans often believe Bug Folk to be mischievous creatures.
Other Stuff:
Many Bug Folk worship or work under the belief of these Bug Folk called The Ancients. They're essentially the giant prehistoric bugs that have godly powers, thus seen as gods, deities, etc.
Bug Folk live in the same world as humans (they call humans giants). Though, they try to hide themselves from them as they tend to have a distinct distrust of humans. Humans are vaguely aware of Bug Folk but they're mostly a mystery to humans. Humans and Bug Folk have a tense relationship

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

"Holding your hand doesn't have to mean that I accept your friendship," the liar said to the truthful, trying to lie in front of the only person who understands his intentions.
He knows, of course, that the liar did not lie. For the liar is also the truthful.

Was pondering how Mark’s rigid ass mask/lens is prob a Budget Thing (since squishy, bendy lens are pretty much a mandate for all hero animated series, like JL, BTAS, TNBA, Spider-Man, etc), and then I was slapped with a vision of Mark in a more JL/BTAS-ish style and I had to see it through. I am a genius btw.
#i had MANY thoughts while drawing my brain melted while posting so if ya have questions send 'em / ask 'em#but rapid fire: leans more into nightwing's look b/c bro's name is legit grayson + moves away from his father's sidekick/protege +#and legit has a blue and black outfit. that is soooo winking at robin (dick grayson specifically)#mark has a more casual / athletic fit and tried to keep his usual kicked puppy expression / mood#which then contrasts his more emotional (hero) side he acts upon when he's suited up as ANOTHER wink to the whole dual persona#mark does it unintentionally as he's eager to prove himself as invincible and thus more emotional/confidential/eager + feels lackluster#as just mark grayson.#but it's such a comic book trope it's interesting el show ignores the potential stakes for that + prob cause they dont focus on#villains#mark has debbie's cheek bones + pearls both so he skip the whole copy paste design tactic cartoons annoyingly use + wink at batman w/ pearl#nolan wears pink and debbie wears green b/c they have conflicting views on raising Mark but (used to?) stand on a somewhat#united front by having same collared shirt. but mark leans more on debbie's stuff visually w/ cooler colors + white shirt underneath#mark keeps his cape as another wink/nod at robins (tim drake TNBS specifically) which mimics his Dad + kid-like eagerness for hero stuff#which he gets rid off when he goes blue/black suit arc (cough cough nightwing looking ass) so just leaned MORE into it#mark has a heart on his chest because he's TRYING to do what he think he's best + emotional asf#lens/goggles are diff to keep the audiences' eye back at HIS eyes + look more ominous and predatory which the black/blue combo#already COULD do in canon but in show its just pallete swapped which ruins the more ominious look it probably intended#and doesnt really scream “OH NO! THERE'S NO GOLD! WHICH could be a marker of mark's joy vanishing!!!”#but i hope it does now but ALSO having design changes#the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡#invincible rotating in my mind#mark grayson#invincible fanart#invincible#fanart#digital art#procreate art#i wish the style leaned more this way since it is messing with or TRYING to mess with some superhero tropes before it does its own thing#just straight up use nostalgia bait while it has his JL knock off#artists on tumblr

Reblogging this drawing with the Timelapse because I finally figured out how to add those and I think it’s cool
Took me about 60 hours which is CRAZY,, I call this one The Quark Family when I’m talking about it (which seems apt) and I’ve literally crammed so many references and details and hours into this my life feels so empty without it. Tumblr is butchering the image quality but that’s just what it is ig,,, I’ve tried and I can’t seem to fix it
Progress shots and closeups under the cut (and a full list of the references and stuff I crammed in in the tags bc I have to know that they’re all noticed)

drew some of my fav ody designs! wasnt originally meant to be also replicating the styles but thats sort of just how my brain works. except i didnt copy the lineart styles of anyone here so its DEFINITELY a bit uncanny for a couple of these (LOOKING AT YOU QINNY IM SO SORRY) but whatever
the designs featured here (from left to right) belong to: me, @gigizetz, @neal-illustrator, @irunaki, @bigidiotenergytm, @qinnyanimation, and @foopsie-daisy
#WAUGHHH IM SO NERVOUS TAGGING PEOPLE COOLER THAN ME#HEAD IN HANDS HEAD IN HANDS I NEED TO STOP PANICKING OVER STUFF LIKE THIS#bc like I KNOW THEYRE JUST PEOPLE. I WOULD BE SO HYPE IF SOMEONE DREW MY ODY ID LOVE TO BE TAGGED IN THAT.#BUT WHAT IF I AM SHOT. WITH A GUN. gfrdfvb vfrdedrf#i am a very normal non anxiety having person i swear guys#worst thing i did here was have odys hands very visible for the qinny one. because i didnt realize the way they draw hands is very realisti#BUT THEIR WHOLE STYLE HAS REALLY REALISTIC ANATOMY I SHOULVE KNOWN#irunakis style is SO fun to draw in bc its a lot like some of my older art so its very familiar yk yk i wasnt worrying too much about makin#-things accurate. but i think that accidentally made me too comfortable and so i ended up straying a bit too much#i think a lot of irunaki and qinnys styles specifically is in the lineart. so me using my normal style of lines makes them less recognizabl#anyways. neals odysseus i have shit talked in private (its a good design it just feels uncanny w/ jorges voice to me) but hes really-#-interesting to draw. i wanna do style studies on neal their characters have a very. idk animated feels like the wrong word but like.#something like animated. feeling to them. theyre very distinct in shape i wanna do studies thats it#bigidiotenergy i found this morning while FINALLY looking at cloudysseus art and instantly fell in love w their design#i need to ruffle his hair. hes so silly. absolutely incredible design. but GOD was the style a nightmare#it was too late id already comitted to trying to replicate the styles. but ohhh my god its so far from my own it was so hard#theres so much detail in places i dont normally put any at all#and its like. WAUGH its scary i need to do anatomy studies in general maybe#uhh havent commented on the gigi one. he was really easy to draw though lol. weirdly enough gigis style was close enough to my current one-#-that i didnt have any trouble whatsoever? and i think its the most accurate too but only because of the lineart styles being similar lol#ALSO NOT TO PLAY FAVORITES BUT FOOP ODYSSEUS IS MY FAVORITE#I LOVE HIMMM I LOVE HIS SILLY SHAPES HE LOOKS LIKE A WEIRD CAT KINDA. HE INTRIGUES ME.#my ody feels kinda lame next to all these guys gbfdefgbf#but oh well. hes ingrained into my mind now i cant change him at this point /silly i am actually happy w him but i might make changes#thaats thoughts on all of the odys here. anyways art tags time#doodles#odysseus#epic the musical#OH MY GOD EDIT I FORGOT TO DRAW FOOP ODYS SHOES. HEAD IN HANDS. IM SO SORRY
