#Flowered City

[almightyhamslice]

sorry i havent been posting bugs lately. I did not give up I'm just late. day 4's prompt was Lesson, so here's Zarojo trying (and failing) to teach Fulgor how to use a Kolour Cannon. Suzy watches and giggles to herself at Zarojo's outburst, she thinks it's cute.

I haven't posted much of Suzy on here-- she's a queen paper wasp n she has this sorta maternal subtly military role towards the hymenopterans of Flowered City? I saw her in a dream n she primarily exists as a contrast between what Krud military is like versus what Verigreen troops are like. Zarojo is not her child, but she feels a sense of kinship with them and is technically their commander. Verries live in a very pacifistic society so Suzy prefers the diplomatic route, but is not opposed to pelting her foes with pollen if necessary. I don't think she's killed anyone but don't let her warm demeanor and cute appearance fool you, she is a master of psychological warfare.

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

Started crying this morning over just how overwhelming proud I am every time I remember how that tiny child that was hated and abused by all of his kingdom aside from one, that was so unnaturally small and so utterly powerless, that was suffering so badly he wanted to die—to scorn the world and then never return…became one the most powerful (and wealthy) men in all the three realms, so strong that even the heavenly emperor himself is wary of his power, so strong that only three others could ever rival him. Became the ruler of his own city—a city he built himself from the ground up, a city of misfits and monsters, of those lost and tossed aside by the world. A city where he is adored and respected greatly by all. Became so intent on remaining in this world that he defied and rejected death three times, looked it in the eye and firmly refused.

help me escape homelessness and live with my lover!

If you can't help me with donations, reblogs are always appreciated!

Also I have hella bad waiting mode anxiety that is made better by knowing what to expect after what I'm waiting for happens, so if anybody wants to tell me how this process will go, I would greatly appreciate it.

Bonus points if you give me some ideas in the notes of mundane things to do with my wife!

Insektober day 27: Pollen

Ft @emilyrosebug's black widow Verigreen, Violette!! I rlly wanted to draw her n Zarojo having tea together. I also really wanted to draw Violette's house! It fascinates me that Verigreen society is presumably flight dependent and yet Violette lives in it without wings & it made me rlly think abt how she lives as a spider in a bug world! So her home is hyper specialized specifically for her-- it's all one web with several shelves, and the lowest point is the center of the web that holds a table; her dining room! She can't really eat solid food, so the table has indentations that can hold cups and bowls and prevent them from falling, but she doesn't own any plates since she has no need for them.

Zarojo is very comfortable climbing onto Violette's web since they're friends, but I imagine most bugs would be very scared about it! After all, the web's kind of sticky and wobbly, so your average Insektor would probably stumble around and fall over! Or worry about being eaten! But I'm sure Violette only drinks other animal blood, not Insektor blood. She's not a vampire or cannibal! (though IRL black widows TOTALLY eat hymenopterans and weevils and beetles lol. So I guess she and Zarojo do have something in common even though she might eat them irl????)

I like the idea of these 2 being friends cuz they match in a lot of ways I think... I mean, they're both named after colors for one, and they're cute characters based offa scary bugs irl, so they're both a little misunderstood! Zaro is also pretty antisocial n doesn't have a whole lot of friends outside of their sister, so I think it's nice that they n Violette r pals!

Silly design ramblings under the cut:

Fun fact, I have this list of like,,, not rlly canon Insektors design conventions I follow whenever I make a new bug OC and I sometimes break them when I draw others' characters! One of them is that my designs can't/don't have normal eyelashes, which is why the only character I designed that has them, is Unity, who has antennae that look like eyelashes! Anyways so I break this rule every time I draw someone else's Insektors OC cuz it's a funny rule I made up and only I follow it LOL. If you're curious, my other 'conventions' are that the Insektors can't have eyebrows and they can't blush. They also never have accurate limb counts and they have varying eye counts lol. It's always like,, 2 less limbs and however many eyes look good in the design? Like did you know those drops on Zarojo's forehead represent their oceli? Now you do. Max straight up doesn't have oceli! I just reference them whenever I feel like it lol!
