It's not actually that hard to not make a female character's entire arc about motherhood or being guy characters' love interests or what have you I think you guys just need to become better writers
#blimbo rambles#rambling about my own character for a minute but queen mother macerate II's arc is never about being a mom or whatever#when horrid tragedy befalls her colony she isn't sad about it because those are her kids#she's sad about it because it comes as a revelation of the flaws of Ant Society to her#the same society she sacrificed everything about herself for to perfectly fit in as the next queen#quite literally the only loose connection she and the other ant queens have towards#some very vague and blurry resemblance to motherhood is just their goddamn titles#now that isn't to say that you can't ever have some parts of a female character's arc be connected to motherhood#hell it can actually work really well IF DONE RIGHT#but step back and think for a minute about the writing choice and the choice used in other pieces of media#really think on why we allow male characters to be loners & heroes & complex villains & outlaws & tragic figures#while we relegate female characters to some of the same few tropes#and when we explore beyond those tropes: how the female character is treated lesser by the fans

just here to say that I loveee the way you have doodled jin ling. squeaky toy golden boy. the most nephew to ever nephew. thank you for delightful comics, that's all, mwah
I simply think the Jin DNA is full of lil guy potential; like sugar ants on a peony B*)
#better drawn mdzs#ask#MDZS#Jin Ling#jin guangyao#jin zixuan#mo xuanyu#They are taking a little nap after snacking on nectar....#I was working on some life study florals when I got this ask and thought 'I can combine these.'#Mwahs u back on the forehead; thank you for giving me an excuse to draw these guys#I really like doodling jin ling so I'm happy to know other people like him too#depending on how I rearrange these in my queue this is either the first time Jin Zixuan appears on this blog#or its right after he's been torn to shreds#Such is life! Jin Zixuan should have never disrespected the queen!#okay lets talk ants and peonys for a moment here#I use to think that peonys needed ants to help them fully blossom but that's not the case at all!#They want ants around to eat the pests that do more harm to them#peony's in China are associated with wealth and prosperity; but I've grown up with them meaning 'generosity and mutualship'#Yellow peonies are for fresh starts and new beginnings! Much to think about.

Sareena and Noob are saying bye to Hanzo when he leaves for earthrealm to help Someone out
Noob: i swear, that costume is so over the top...But it looks familiar.
Sareena: i mean, he only recently started dressing like that. Its to impress Someone.
Noob: You think so?
Sareena: i know so. He is trying to impress some "Kuai Liang" who is a total nerd and likes batman comics and shit so that's why he's dressed like a cosplayer. I read his diary.
Noob:
Sareena: u good, babe?
Noob: Sareena, please hold me back cuz otherwise im gonna act unwise.
#subscorp#mortal kombat#kuai liang#sub zero#hanzo hasashi#scorpion#noob saibot#Bi han#Sareena#Crimson Shadow#Mortal kombat snow blind#Yet another snowblind post#Ant its defo not the last one#I like the idea of Hanzo's friends trash talking his outfit behind his back#Only Noob has no idea why he actualy dress es that way#He thinks Hanzo is Just a drama queen#But he is actualy trying to rizz up Bi han's brother behind his back

got hit with the urge to make a sinner version of lazirus
#bc i literally saw a video here on tumblr seconds before drawing this about the large blue butterfly being carnivorous bc it eats ant larvae#after like tricking an ant into thinking its the queen thats hurt so it gets brought back to the nest#and i was like hm interesting#symbolism maybe bc hes a vampire and the whole cocooning fitting with his whole rebirth thing#but also i just thought they were really pretty#so i drew my pretty boy#forbiddentaako’s ocs#lazirus aster#hazbin hotel

Sozo always mentions his family whether it be genuinely questioning where they are or how they are gone and every time it reminds me that he is an ant, an extremely social and colony based species.
How lonely it must feel, even with his mind and body overtaken by the cordyceps, to be the only one to be left behind or forgotten about.
#the emotional aspect of his addition could literally be the mushroom pheromones felts like a connection#and would make him take more#seeing how ants work he probably was one of those ants that scout or look for food to bring back to the queen#and he sadly stumbled on the mushrooms and mushromos first#cotl#cult of the lamb#cotl sozo

moons revenge
(also bonus concept things just cuz i was messing around)
#i love to bully pebs he deserves it heart.#also as for the concepts. idk i was thinking its kind of weird that eggbugs are solitary?? but carry eggs on their BACKS.#so i kind of think maybe theyre hive insects but the ones in-game are like. carrying eggs of a queen? to start a new hive.#which got me thinking about how many insects females are larger (and in hives females are the defenders)#and how bees and ants use pheremones to figure out whos an intruder. so#hive region where slugcat has to do STEALTH MISSION by hiding under pupas to disguise slug scent ??#its just me doing a little speculation i have no idea if this has been done before or anything. i just like thinking :)#rainworld#rain world#soeepy#rain world fanart#rainworld fanart

Core OC "A.N.T."
They're the head of Aperture Science's security, made by Glados herself. After the events of portal 2 Glados made them as a last security measure to prevent something like Wheatley taking over from ever happening again. She designed them specifically to hate Wheatley on a personal level so that if he were to ever set foot on the facility he'd be hunt down.
They have a big ego, being created by Glados of all people made them have a superiority complex. Even so they don't take their job too seriously, their main objective is to find any possible security breaches and fixt/prevent them but they get distracted easily.
Because of this they evade most of the other bots in the facility, except for turrets, they have a soft sot for them. They also love bugs, will adopt any they're able to find. They have build in gun in their arm for stopping any direct treat they might encounter.
They're a big Gossiper, being connected to all the cameras in the facility they know everyone's dirty secrets and will use them against them if necesary.
They're just a lil guy, a jerky lil guy :3
Closeups under the cut!
They've been spinning in my brain constantly
#kabra art#core oc#portal 2 spoilers#ant oc#I love I manage to turn ant into an acronym very proud of myself#they're a lil soldier ant working for the queen#glados#frfr they hate Wheatley sm if they ever saw him it'd be on SIGHT#if they ever find out he's back at the facility they wouldn't rest till they have their grubby lil hands on wheatley's non existent neck lo

don't want to declare victory for the war on ants quite yet but i think i did win a battle...
#saw HUNDREDS of them drinking terro last night and i thought like fifty of them drowned#checked today and. there isn't a Single one in or around the terro#so every single one of those bitches went back to the colony probably!!!#im still absolutely BAFFLED as to why there is a colony in my closet. there is no food in my closet. there is no food in my bedroom.#the only place i eat is the KITCHEN TABLE SO WHAT ARE U LOOKING FOR KIDS#(there was actually a big hole in my window they finally plugged up that was letting water in every time it rained)#(and i REMEMBER seeing this giant ant in my closet when i came home from work on the wall#and going : / i'll get her after i change#and then. she disappeared#that was my first mistake. cause i'm like 95% sure that was the queen)#u would think they would leave if they can't find food#i mean maybe my room does have crumbs i don't claim to be perfect#but i've vaccummed it a bajillion times and literally haven't eaten anything in there in a month at least#maybe two months cause i was out of town#anyways. i hope those bitches are dead.#i feel bad about it cause i hate killing things but they had started crawling on me whenever i was sitting at my desk and. i couldn't deal.#there are giant borax circles all around the legs of my bed and my desk and anything potentially crawlable#it looks like i live in supernatural

Teeni trying to enjoy that 18+ fic
But ants... :C
#siafu ants r some of my faves#part of the driver fambly of ants aka army ants#the males (drones) r too fat to fly and are called sausage flies#they trundle around till they stumble into a trench of soldiers and workers#and get carried back to the queen

autistics taking over the world by thought reduction: you're too lazy Hollywood to SAVE MATT DAMON (and now they're all conspiracy theorists.. uh oh)
youtube
that but like they're now animated to think twice as fast as you do by literally living their lives (the plot hole for Hole in the wall irl)
west end vs broadway
now give us back Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway controversy (nobody won Andy Peters prize of a giveaway which ends with a Sunday dream) so you would have intuitively talked to Ant and Dec about the Glee cast and they were in on it like no other gameshow existed but primarily working for the government at the same time. get a break now cuz you're all going on a takeaway getaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#how does ant and dec feel like to work inside a dream to go back out of their sock theory being done by a blogger in the uk about conspiracy#feelings like no other fan or contestant ever sold#or how the pussycat dolls have a primordial revelation about Kimberly Wyatt being on mindhunter:glee for 10 dollars an hour#the brokest pussycat on her way home#cat deeley is now terrified of selena gomez in real life#she was on acquaintances written for a whole new subjective#antanddec cinematic au has a nightmare reference to jesse st james#i will write more about cat deeley dont u worry#theories now fought without honour#what will Kimberly Wyatt do now#selena gomez outrunning her presidency scheme by puppet force montage on julia roberts taking over as the 90s helm acquainted by#only murders in the building having no sensible arc like eugene levy is indomitably hated for by the public residency of older generation#actors being in touch with nostalgia more often than the younger minds recruited to the spanish regime (age of gomez)#demonise the lyrics not the voice#whatever justin bieber says#the boy lives on#toxic neuro-divergents have it too hard cuz of her these days#demi is her own country respectively in her own rights according to Selena's spanish magick revolving her influence with her magi unit in#heaven she calls prime earth#slave trades from the albino community doing her work to cry harder to get no points across is her tactics to slave the queen household#(muslim) so the end times is caused because of her making other women look too bad to be seen alive without a muslim friend by their side

the reality of the situation is, the meaning of life and all, we’re living in the ants’ world, by weight there are more ants here on earth than any other animal, by a lot. Not even close. And what are we to ants? FFn gods basically. We’re in ant heaven just rockin out or something so put that in your pipe and smoke it perhaps put that in your salad and toss it, put that in the ole (ok I’ll stop)
#i lied#put that in the ole ant farm and watch em tear it up#ants are so uggo#lol#no offense to ants#i need more tribute from ants or i will be an angry ant god#l'mao#put that in your gas tank and drive to town#put that in the ant queen's lair and back away slowly#put that in...#ok ok

Exfil thoughts with the 141
Soap: British people are like ants.
Ghost: How so?
Soap: The weird loyalty to the queen, innate instinct to line up…
Price, nodding: Love for crumbly pastries.
Soap: They take things that aren’t theirs back to their colony.
Gaz: But we can’t lift up to 5,000 times our own weight.
Ghost: Why are you so sure?
Soap: Because then the pyramids would be in the british museum.

Do you think when Malleus gets his annual physical health exam, they make him transform back into a dragon so they could get accurate readings.
"Mr. Draconia, you're only 19852 kilograms while your ideal is 20000. You're a bit underweight. Is there a reason why you've been eating less recently?"
He couldn't admit that he'd been eating 🌸's ant-sized commoner meals recently instead of his usual three platefuls of pure protein and some smattering of his dietician's suggested veggie amount.
Also if he goes to Mr. Zigvolt for his dental appointment, does the guy need to venture through his mouth like he's inspecting a cave? How do doctors get his X-ray? I have so many questions.
🐉: "Did you know that dragons can grow their teeth back no matter how many times we lose them?"
🌸: "Really?! Why is your body so convenient... Oh but why do you go to the dentist though?"
🐉: "While it's true that our teeth grow back, it's actually rather inconvenient to lose one. Can you imagine, a prince or a queen addressing the nation with a missing tooth in front? How embarrassing would that be? So we take good care of our teeth anyway."
🌸: "Oh yeah, that makes sense."
