// As promised, the queue'd post about the actual hive of the swarm!

// First thing's first - it's fucking GIANT. It doesn't span the whole planet, but firstly it's significantly deep and secondly w i d e. The tunnels run miles, there are dozens of 'rooms' for new larvae, food, and of course a graveyard like most hives. A lot more of the swarm is found here than on the surface, especially during the day. For some of the species living here, they never evolved to handle the heat of the dual suns with no shade. For others, it's simply Zazie needing a break. A lot of the hive is there for protection too!

// Protection from what though, you may ask? Well - Zazie is the planet, but Zazie is NOT every single bug spider worm CREATURE that you see. No, in fact the hive is particular about who they let into their underground paradise. Even creatures of the same species may not be of hive, and that's due to things like aggression and overall benefit to the planet. Creatures with adaptations that would threaten the survival of others within the hive are often outcasted or never accepted in, and creatures that are overly abundant sometimes the hive just... Doesn't have the resources to care for so many. So, sometimes there are rogue invaders who seek to take the precious resources of the collective and swarm.

// Now let's talk resources. Zazie works for the planet essentially, so their job in return for the power she gives is to keep precious and vital species alive. This doesn't just include animals though!! No man's land wasn't always a wasteland after all - that took time and overuse of resources (which led to the planet requiring a form to act through which led to Zazie is my cliffnotes bc like last time this isn't something i've thought out an awful lot). Zazie is a conservationist at their core, so their hive naturally hosts for plants who couldn't adapt to live in the heat! Water collects in the hive after rainfalls and allows moss flowers and even some spots of grass to grow!

// Now again, just like the creatures that inhabit the swarm and are native to the planet, while some of these plants may look similar to those on earth or have similar properties, they are indeed native to the planet for one very big reason. Zazie can't get the plants that were a part of SEEDS won't grow in no sunlight. No, the plants that grow within the hive are adapted to live in darkness over centuries of cultivation. They are bioluminescent and give the only light source within the hive. But it is plush, dark shades of blue and purple with gentle light blue specks that glow. These grow some food for the colony, but mostly are just Zazie's attempt to preserve what was for a future that may eventually allow the return of these species.

// Now by normal means, digging down to the depth that you hope to reach a tunnel within the hive is... DEEP deep. And by the time you'd reach it, you're more likely to have been eaten by a worm. This is subject to change depending on my RP partner, but the only one's who have potentially seen the hive and live to tell the tale are definitely Knives, but also potentially Legato. It's extremely precious to Zazie - not to mention not really great for eyes used to living in the sun - so if they take you there it's a HUGE sign of trust from the collective. It's also incredibly noisy there, considering the sheer volume of insects alone that live in its tunnels.

// Finally there's a point that's been floating in my head that felt like it fit better here than my other post just because I mentioned the graveyard - but it's awkward to insert in this in a chronological sense that might make it flow. Zazie and the swarm as a whole were based from just a few colonies of insects in their early years. As such, death to them is just an opportunity for more life - and they've seen it this way for centuries before humans. Empathy and emotions taught to them by humans have made this since complicated and messy, but the 'graveyard' is less grave and more mushroom farm - because that which dies can give new life to those around it. I know there's a very specific leafcutter ant colony that does this, but I can't think of the species at the moment. BUT. Zazie tends towards this way of thinking - and anyone precious to them is liable to get dragged from their human grave and put into this. Some insects (like flies) will also eat from corpses here. It's not the most pleasant thing to think about as a human, but I think as a colony based initially from insects it makes sense that this is the way Zazie chooses to deal with death!

// Once more, thank you for coming to my TED talk! No my headcanon posts will likely never be short, and yes this could have been far more concise... But that's why y'all love me yeah~?

of course. 

[thesadboisguidetolife]

The incredibly talented and handsome @dangerghost20 tagged me to answer some Q's so im going to start by apologizing for having taken days to finish this lol i promise i didnt forget buddy!

1. why did you choose your url?

I used to make this Sadboi zine because a friend of mine and i were all about it. So when i came back to Tumblr after like a 7 year hiatus, i figured id go with that.

2. any side blogs?

You mean like a porn blog that i reblog from other mutuals porn blogs?!?......nnooooo, i would never!! 😊

3. how long have you been on tumblr? 

First got one in '09 and came back, like 3-4 yrs ago and felt like

4. do you have a queue tag? 

No but i do have things queue'd up

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

Memes haha. And because i missed the aesthetics of the old OG tumblr girls who would post cottagecore, reading nooks, and the horribly problematic Native American aesthetic stuff.

6. why did you choose your icon or pfp? 

The icons my silly mug 😊

7. why did you choose your header?

Because i still love me a good laugh at my trauma haha

8. what is your post with the most popular notes?

Probably the dumb joke about how all the bots wanna f**k me 🤣

9. how many mutuals do you have?

A lot and they're all incredible. Like. Thats not even an exaggeration. The amount of talent, beauty, kindness, intelligence, and humor among everyone here is unbelievable and i am so lucky to have found such an incredible amount of friends and acquaintances 🥺

10. how many followers do you have? 

Real followers or bots? Haha i honestly dont know because it feels like a swinging door here.

11. how many people do you follow?

A looooottt, mostly mutuals 😊

12. have you ever made a shit post?

13. how often do you use tumblr?

Idk how comfortable i feel admitting that its daily haha

14. have you ever had a fight with another blog?

Nah. Not worth it haha

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog” posts?

If its good, its good. If its not, its not. Not a big fan of making people feel guilty tbh.

Haha not to speak for anyone here but i dont think any of us are really worried about that 😅

19. do you have a crush on a Tumblr mutual?

Listen, which one of us hasnt fantasized about starting a cute gay commune where we can come as we go, grow our own food, support each other emotionally, physically, etc. Start a life independent from the ugliness of the world and really thrive like a secret coven of witches who put out love into the world.

.........

The yearning is real haha

Im gonna skip tagging anyone because i feel like ive been bugging you guys enough as it is 😅

( Image ID. A reply from @petrichorvoices. It says "oh shit are we missing some of your posts? and do you think it would be worth it if we were to make a mini tutorial on how to archive posts without interacting with the OP? -Radio". End ID. )

I believe a few of my more recent posts are missing. However it's alright, I assumed they're simply in the queue or drafts waiting to be queue'd !! I see y'alls posts about how many things you archive on there so it's totally understandable !!

Also yes, please. I've had to block so many "archive" blogs which totally ignore personal interaction boundaries and seemingly think they won't get blocked because "archival trumps personal interaction boundaries, DNIs are useless lol" when... you don't need to interact to archive. At All. ( Speaking as someone who made over 700+ -ish contributions to the LGBTA Miraheze Wiki. I never interacted with a single coiner. )

I do not want to have to start putting entire communities of people in the coining community on my dni, but certain groups seem to be incapable of not ignoring my few hard boundaries re: nsfw content and the fact that you do not need to interact with me directly to use or archive my terms !!

( if your argument is "but archival !!" I'd like to point you to @radiomogai who has archived almost all of my posts so far, and seemingly most of the posts in the mogai/liom/coining community.... as well as the Archive dot Org Wayback Machine.... and the fact that my terms are on wikis with full credit / the same description. Wikis are a hyperfix of mine and I will always, always allow others to archive my terms and flags on them w/ proper credit !! )

[tuffluvin-assassin]

I’m trying to think of a cool “queue’” tag to use......

any ideas? 

[notsolowkeylyesmith-blog]

PSA

I'm going on vacation to Orlando and will not be fully online until next Friday or Saturday. I've queue'd a set of posts and I will probably be posting a munday picture. 

If you want to contact me OOC you can find me on my personal blog, on Trillian under the username "thoratheladyholmes", and, if you're feeling very brave, my Snapchat is "samuel.vining" (expect lots of pictures of cats).

See ya later!

[fosterthor]

Wow

I went two days so far without tumblr. This should be some kind of a record.
