#And have a phobia of bugs

[davekat-sucks]

someone asked about a gold blood pretending to be a blood they werent. what about the time equius made an aradiabot and filled it with his own blood to change her class? homestuck needs more of this sicko shit and more of the strange food too. thats what makes the cast feel like aliens

Yeah, Equius wanted Aradia to be equal with him by making sure she has the same blood color as him in that new body. Epilogues Meat also mentions that Karkat ate CHOCOLATE COVERED BEETLES, confirming that yes, trollkind eats bugs and insects. They would find shit like casu marzu (cheese with maggots), kamaro (mole crickets), mezcal worm, abuos (ant egg caviar), adobong salagubang (seasoned may beetle), uok (coconut worms), and other insect dishes across the world as actual meals for them. I mean, this is the same Alternia alien trollkind that has their Christmas decorate LITERAL MONSTER SHIT instead of a pine tree. And it really is shit, even Karkat says BEHEMOTH LEAVINGS towards his Future self, confirming that the trolls celebrate the holidays with POOP. Makes me wonder when people ship troll x human, would the fans want the humans engage in troll culture? Or would the trolls be corrected that their customs and beliefs were wrong and that human kind is better and healthier? I'm definitely on the side that has humans fixing them. No way fans would accept something like Dave kissing Karkat after the troll ate a dung beetle for dessert.

I hate being a person who loves bugs, I can't say anything without the person I'm talking to reacting with disgust. Today I had to literally beg a coworker for the life of a spider, and then after I put it in a nook outside she thought it'd be funny to show me a video she took of her killing one. Like idk man. Birds scare the shit out of me but I still get why people love them. They come in pretty colors and they sound nice and they're interesting to observe. I don't understand why people don't feel the same about bugs. The rich amber color of a cockroach, the iridescent glow of a fly, the intricate hydraulics that power their little legs, the chirp of a beetle, the art of the spider's web... It's all so beautiful. Why is it the habit of so many to destroy?

[lemonsweet]

Every person that's like eww bugs are disgusting and should be killed except pink moths/pink mantises/lady bugs or whatever is now going to be forcibly housed with a giant whip scorpion as a roomate and they will learn to like it

It's curently *checks time* 4:34... cool and yes, Mc is me right now. Except the fire part.

Mc: look, it's not my fault, okay? I got scared

Lucifer: and your first response was to burn down your room?

Mc:

Mc: Luci. My dear love.

Mc: THERE WAS A BUG IN MY ROOM

Lucifer: I see, well you could have just call for me or come to my room

Mc: I- I didn't think about that...

Lucifer: clearly

Mc: I panicked okay?

What I think is so important to learning how to truly appreciate life is learning how to appreciate the creatures and things we've categorized as "disgusting" or "gross."

When I learned to appreciate wasps, I realized how much they just... don't really care about anything, and they're not trying to be an asshole because they're uniquely cruel. If they have any wants, it is to live. Why would I punish that when I also want to live?

This isn't to say you need to fall in love with the creepy crawlies that stalk this world or to love what you cannot, but to recognize that in their arrangement of atoms, they are trying to persevere, and in the end... aren't we all?

I haven't gotten EOW yet and was wondering, are there any big spiders in the game? I saw a small one in a trailer and thought I better ask someone!

there are yes, and there are definitely at least 1 or 2 points in the game in various dungeons where they're unavoidable

[gingermaple]

I love your smallishbeans design!! That's how he looks in my head!! :D

thank you!!! he's just so silly!!!

as a bonus, here's the ref sheet i use for when i draw him!

if damian got to have a normal childhood, he definitely would’ve been the type of kid that picks up bugs and shows them to his dad with a giant grin

meanwhile bruce is terrified of bugs and has to smile through the pain as damian tries to get him to hold a grasshopper or something

Just Found Out Jamil's Afraid Of Bugs. Kinda Cool We Share That In Common, But Kinda Weird That A Guy Who Lives In A Literal Desert Is Afraid Of Bugs

[elliott-the-creature]

if y’all don’t like insects, arachnids, molluscs, reptiles, amphibians, or any “creepy”, “weird” or “gross” animals we ain’t talking no more 🫡

Forgot to tell Maki she hates frogs.

(may not post tomorrow bc it's strike day)

[agnes-come-back-challenge]

the wacky thing about phobias is that you can be sooo cognizant and aware of the reality of the situation and it doesnt do jackshit for how you respond

saw a cockroach in my car and it immediately vanished, so i spent 10+ mins knowing i needed to get back to my motel and that my worst-case-scenario was literally harmless, all the while refusing to start the car bc i couldn't stop waiting for it to reappear

[noel-levine-fan]

i think noel would like bugs. like really if you think about it, the scene where he's outside and happens to meet claire, probably makes you think he's been sneaking outside for a while before he met her. i bet he made friends with the bugs while he was out there. i bet he loves bugs. i bet he knows a lot about them. i bet one time sirius started screaming because there was a bug in the house and claire killed it and noel started crying and claire never killed a bug again.

[dark-twist-fairytales]

I just- I have one question for whatever being out there that made stinkbugs:

Why, oh why, pray tell, do they fly?!

[pokemonfrommemory]

Bug horse!

[sidoopa]

ah sweet! eldritch horrors beyond my comprehension
