Beware the "This creature looks cool" to "I love this animal even though it's stigmatized" to "I will defend this species of tiny animal with my life and take every chance I get to disprove bullshit myths and misconceptions about them" to "It is my fursona now" pipeline.

#yes this post is about me and earwigs #they're such cool little fucking guys #and I'm mad everyone seems to be convinced they crawl inside ears and eat brains #when they're actually really harmless and curious and will walk right into your hand calmly if you let them #and only pinch if you poke at them #also the crawling inside ears shit is lame real men believed in the hyperspecific playground 'they pierce your ears' myth #which also had a sister myth of 'they latch onto your ear through your piercing' myth #which #god I wish
