@onenicebugperday Bit of an unfortunate update, but not without hope.

A week ago as of posting this, Green Bean Casserole had a pretty severe mismolt. I think they fell and got stuck behind their favorite stick in an awkward position after leaving the exuviae. I only found and assisted them the next morning, but by then their exoskeleton had already hardened up. Thankfully all of their limbs are intact and functional, but, well... The situation is far from ideal, as you’ll see.

At first I was pretty worried they wouldn’t make it; they seemed to be struggling to move around due to the deformity, falling when climbing and generally looking wobbly. I moved them to a different terrarium set up for my flat headed snake Absinthe, both because of the softer substrate and the lack of skinks that might be bold and attempt to take advantage of a weakened mantis. I wasn’t even sure if food would be able to pass through their system, and they had no interest in prey at all, which wasn’t a good sign. However, with some adjustments to the layout of the temporary terrarium I moved them to, they did climb and manage to hang from the lid with some effort. GBC seemed like they were a fighter, and the day after the bad molt they accepted and ate a grasshopper, so I decided to see if I could get them to their next molt and hopefully allow them to recover.

They’ve since adapted to their new shape, and I’ve moved them back to their usual terrarium for easier monitoring and better sun access. They’re climbing and hanging without falling, eating well, and drinking water droplets from the screen lid when I water the terrarium. I’d say they’re about as close to thriving as they could be in this situation! Here’s how they’re looking today. Ignore the escapee grasshopper in the background, its jailbreak was short lived…

I do feel a bit mean for making this comparison, but…

There’s a bit of a resemblance, isn’t there?

@racingliners I’m going to try tagging you on my side blog, but idk if that will work either cause my main is shadowbanned rn haha. I can only see your message up to this notification preview, but of course!!! 🥺

That makes me so happy that my silly organization is helping TRoS in any way 😭🥰 my tags aren’t appearing either so I’ll tell you here, I loved the recent Seb POV snippet interweaving Lewis’s excellent memory when it comes to Seb 🥲 you write sewis so tenderly, it truly feels like a warm hug in word form ❤️ I’m in the middle of reading your recent work for the sebfest and it’s melting me into absolute goo 🫠❣️

okay on the one hand this may be 100% my paranoia at it again but on the other hand i’ve tried reaching out to two people i was friends with in the past wanting to get back in touch regularly and both of them haven’t responded in the slightest and the only common point is my ex friend. and now i know “my ex friend is telling people essentially lies to stop them from talking to me” sounds far fetched but the thing is unfortunately i don’t put this past her. it’s not like a huge deal i have plenty of other friends but i was kind of hoping to reconnect with those two because one also got an autism dx around the same time i did and the other is possibly involved with lgbt groups in the area

Writing over 30,000 words worth of content for a fic only to realize it’s all pointless because you have no interest in it anymore and you were never gonna finish it anyway….

What even is The Point anymore

i’ve watched like a million episodes of this random crime documentary today and this one episode takes place in florida and do you guys remember my former landlord dave with the one leg and the “stop the obama agenda” sign from 2010 on his wall(in 2023) who was originally from florida? well i’m devastated to report that every time the cop featured in this episode says the word “okay” he sounds exactly like him

[what-the-fuck-khr]

pain has veeeeeery suspiciously disappeared from the tooth which makes me veeeeeeeery suspicious bc that’s not good lmfao bc if the pain goes without treatment, it means smth in that tooth has fucking died if I can’t feel anything anymore LMAO. okay if I press hard enough it hurts but it’s nowhere near the sharp ass pain it’s been leading up to this point so! I’m gonna go into that appointment expecting dead nerves and an infection or abscess of some kind. I’m also going in expecting the tooth to get ripped out so! what a day that’s gonna be

i have such a hard time here and it’s because i literally feel like i do not exist. i will be having a conversation with someone and they just stop responding, stop talking (not a natural lull even) and im sitting there like “hello? i just asked you a question.” or we’re talking and they pick up the phone and just start ignoring me, just surfing social media. or they get a phone call and i’m in the middle of the sentence and they just pick up the call and walk away. like no “excuse me.” and i feel horrible being like “these phones” and like “no one has manners” but jesus, i can literally remember the last time i had a conversation where the other person was listening & paying attention and it was almost six months ago

@agent-black-heart that’s my theory too. Do we have any ideas of what could have happened to him while he was out?
