Hey you all know about that fungus that possesses ants to make them climb on the tip of grass blades in hopes of getting eaten by a cow, so that the fungus can continue its life cycle in the cow's guts? Because I think that's the kind of thing that's wrong with cave divers.

We don't know what's down there. We don't know what's gotten into their heads that makes them so determined to physically, personally go down there to find out. But I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that whatever has gotten into them is very invested in getting eaten by whatever is down there.

Sometimes a hermit flower beetle eating nectar off your hand is even more fun than just feeding them mangoes

Y'know when you're doing a quick painting study and get all swept up in the moment 😅 I didn't know this would turn out so hyper-realistic, I'm suddenly nervous about AI accusations for the first time in my art journey (fuck AI, to be clear)

i hate that i can't say hater is "on some baikinman shit" without nobody knowing what the fuck i'm talking about because only like 5 anglophone tumblr users know what anpanman is but hater really is on some baikinman shit they're the same character
