There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

I just love it when video games let you do really stupid shit that kills you immediately. I love being like "oh this is a terrible idea" and being able to do it and then die. It's good game design.

Not quite a thing, but do you (or your followers) have any suggestions for bug-themed music? From title alone or as the subject of the song. I’m trying to build a playlist, these are my saved songs so far

And to justify sending this to the bug things blog, have a weird moth decoration I saw at a craft store while visiting with some family.

A BUG PLAYLIST IS PERFECT. ALSO CATERPILLARS OF THE COMMONWEALTH REFERENCE... HELLOOO. pleeease send me this playlist when its done or as its being made. and badass deaths-head hawkmoth

as for suggestions:

boys will be bugs - cavetown

leech boy - crywank

bug - alex g

honeybee - steam powered giraffe

moth's wings - passion pit

MY ULTIMATE CREATION

[bastetwarsniper]

"at least, be human" and "don't be" are two interesting titles that encapsulate very well asuka's psychological conflict in episode 22.

first, we have the demand to act like a person. how a person acts? the answer may present itself through oppositions. during the episode, asuka negates others and shows behavior associated with what the attachment theory calls evasive attachment. as soon as she opens up with the one on her home that represents more "the other" for her (both in character and thematically), shinji, she snaps at him and runs to her room. she constantly says she hates everyone, especially herself.

later on the episode, we have arael psychological attack. the angel searches on asuka's heart, which it's a violation to her because she doesn't want anyone to look there, and drag to the surface long gone repressed memories and trauma that explains asuka's every day actions. the climax of the attack occurs after arael, in a child asuka form avatar, tells her she is a "big liar" after she declares that she can live on her own. then, a series of flashing images with different words describing asuka's inner feelings go through the screen. between some of them, there's the "don't be".

so, maybe that's it. be human it's be vulnerable. asuka tells herself to stop being dependent, to stop being fragile, to stop relying on others (which it's actually part of the general human experience), to stop wanting company. humans can't help being alone, but they can't always be alone. asuka repudiates this and insists on her absolute independence. she denies herself her human needs. she demands herself to stop being human.
