There are a lot of analog horror works that try to make moths scary and … I just don't get it. Moths are such silly little floofs. Total disasters. Just fuzzy ones.

How can that be scary?

Oh there's a skull on the fuzzy wuzzy little moth? It's like a teddy bear trying to be in a biker gang.

Oh the moths are huge? Huggable at last!

Creatures with no intimidation factor. Only spooky trait is liking The Nitetime but that's because they are shy :(

I've just realized something, an IR-seeking missile is a type of combat moth,, fascinated by the glow of afterburning engines...

🦋:

"What is a moth, anyways?"

Shit question, innit? Better to ask how to tell if someone is one. That's what matters.

"So...how do you?"

Hm?

"How do you tell who's a moth?"

Oh, that's easy. It's all made up outta hole-cloth; they don't exist.

"But you just said..."

Fine, you know what the Fae are, obviously.

"Uhhh, not really?"

Well, Moths are just the Fae of Flame. See, Moths used to love the moon, until they realized that that Light was too far away for their wings. Now they just love the Flame, since it's within easy reach.

"I don't really...get it?"

A Moth's like a brumeraven, with three more legs and a segmented body.

"A...bird?"

Thing is, no one becomes a Moth without going through a metamorphosis. Problem is they spend all their short lives desperately hoping for a second transformation.

"Well...do any of them?"

Any of them what?

"Get one. A second transformation."

Sure; you ever seen a Mantid? Nah, I suppose not, you've not been with us very long yet.

"I, yeah, no, but you still haven't told me what a moth is..."

Good, you follow. Can't say what a Moth is, only what it's not. Lemme put it like this: You've seen moth-eaten clothes, right? But I bet you've never seen a moth doing the eating, 'ave you? Seems Moths are only recognizable by the empty spaces they leave in their passing.

"I-"

That's the thing, right? The heart of it all. Moths see themselves in everything that they're not. And for some reason they try and consume it Sort of an aren't what you eat situation. Problem is, of course, Moths are a contradiction.

"..."

One moment she's a soft, fuzzy-headed, cute little thing. Next one, it's a helpless victim, fluttering in vain against the pins in its wings, praying for a final transformation. But slip up for one second and they're an eldritch, unknowable prophet of doom and bridge collapses.

"...so..."

Heh, sorry, I've been going on and on, haven't I... Comes with the job and the territory. Anywho, any other questions, rookie?

"Yeah...what the FUCK is a Moth?!"

[demontouched]

you ever enjoy a media so much that your soul tears a new hole in itself for you to fill with said media but there's not enough of it, there will never be enough of it, and now you have a gaping hole in your astral being that will take weeks to years to sew up with fanfiction, fan art, fancomics, and amvs? yeah. percy jackson rn.
