Dude your brain is so big, the concept of a druid/spring deity reader just casually kidnapping their baby daddy is so 😩 finger licking good
I’m such a sucker for dark reader
Also you’re right, Soap? Unbothered. Man is living his best life in this scenario, he wants you to use him ong
i sometimes like to strike my two brain cells together, like flint and pyrite, to spark some creativity from within this ol' noggin.
and same!! i really love oblivious, innocent reader. my corruption kink is astronomical, tbh. but sometimes i just crave a dangerous, deadly MC. they're so rare to find, and so hard to really nail down but i have this dreamy secret garden-esque vision of a soft, nymphlike reader standing by the edge of water with one of them just staring through the thicket, wolfish, and absolutely blind to the fact that the forest only moves when you do. that the "hunger" in your gaze isn't just marbled red with concupiscence, but rather a primordial ache in the pit of your belly. a gnawing, desperate to emptiness you're itching to fill. utterly famished for a taste.
(but they end up being too good in bed to eat)
and Soap hears "i was supposed to eat you, like a preying mantis or some sort of spider, perhaps a black widow or a jumping spider. you know, like sexual cannibalism to feed our young" and instead of running like anyone else would, he just takes it, puts it in his back pocket, and then you wake up the next morning to a bunch of bodies in your domain. he's practically force feeding you all the people he doesn't like from the village at this point. unbothered king. hungry? have the bishop. too full? no, no, no, birdy. you got to eat. his little babes need to grow big and strong, don't they? a menace. and now you're stuck with him.

this is gonna be almost painfully on brand but go with me. I recently found a podcast about connections between video game creatures and real world biology, and in their episode about shiny pokemon they threw out the idea of what if shinies are rare because their coloration makes them worse at surviving in the wild, much like for example albino animals in real life
and I immediately thought of one of my favorite guys, lurantis
and I'm honestly debating whether this would be better or worse for its survival
lurantis is based on an orchid mantis. its shiny version does look lesss like an orchid mantis and more like a regular mantis
but lurantis is not a bug mimicking a plant. it's a plant mimicking a bug
the dex entries imply that it uses its mimicry both to deter predators and to lure in prey
so here's where I'm torn. arguably the shiny looks more like a mantis, so it might be better mimicry
on the other hand, I think the shiny also looks more like a grass type. especially at a glance. even more than that, that shade of yellow/green makes me think of new growth and flower buds. so maybe to potential predators, it not only looks like a grass type, it looks like a baby grass type
On The Other Hand, it also blends into the environment better. so maybe it has a decent chance of just not being noticed by predators to begin with. but then again, it also no longer has that flashy display to lure in prey. ..but then again they would probably be better at sneaking up on prey

my mom recently read in a novel that some larger praying mantis species have been known to kill and eat hummingbirds. I know about bird-eating tarantulas, but I was curious if you knew of other insects who prey on birds, mammals, etc.? I know most will scavenge anything, but what abt critters who hunt? the idea of insects who hunt large prey is fascinating to me
large generalist predatory insects like mantises and katydids predominantly eat other insects, but the majority of the vertebrate prey they take is probably frogs and lizards, and typically ones smaller than themselves. hummingbirds might not be too representative of typical vertebrate prey because (I believe I heard a mantis researcher say) their metabolism is so tightly wound that the stress of being caught is enough to kill them, and all the mantis has to do is hang on, which they definitely can do. still, vertebrate predation is pretty impressive for orthopterans and mantodeans, since they’ve got to do it all without venom!
army ants of various types are also famous for their ability to catch vertebrates, but most army ants are actually specialists on other social insects (ants, wasps, termites), and the few generalist predator army ants still predominantly prey on invertebrates (and don’t skeletonize cows and horses like they do in cartoons).
diving beetles will hunt fish and aquatic amphibians—there’s a reason their larvae are called “water tigers!” belostomatid water bugs are probably the most impressive aquatic vertebrate-eaters though, and use powerful venom to subdue surprisingly large fish, tadpoles, and even other vertebrates:
outside of insects, there’s a lot of spiders that can feed on herptiles, either by overpowering them with strength like huntsmen and tarantulas, or by snaring them in webs like widows, the most successful snake eaters:
plus, there’s always the famous Nephila orbweavers whose sturdy webs can catch avian prey, but this is probably a fairly rare occurrence.
going over to centipedes, giant scolopendrids are quite successful predators of vertebrates, with any species large enough likely preying on herptiles, and occasionally on some far larger than they are!
Scolopendra venom is evolved to take down large prey, so it’s no surprise they’re some of the most prolific vertebrate-eaters in the arthropod world. some very large Scolopendra (gigantea, maybe galapagoensis, viridicornis, heros) will hunt bats, sometimes by hanging to catch them in flight. other predation on mammals and birds seems to occur opportunistically, especially where the prey is helpless: S. galapagoensis was recorded feeding on baby rodents in the Galapagos; other island species like Cormocephalus coynei will feed on seabird chicks (enough with the “fluffy” avian favoritism, Nature! ‘pedes gotta eat).
oh, speaking of nestling-devouring, there’s also some freaky observations of slugs munching on soft mushy songbird babies! someone on Twitter had their nest camera record some chicks getting eaten by a large Carabus ground beetle, but I can’t find it again.
but I think the most shocking example of vertebrate predation by an invertebrate is probably Epomis, another ground beetle. as larvae, they feed on frogs far larger than they are by letting themselves get attacked, latching onto the would-be predator, and munching on it until it perishes. adult beetles also prey on amphibians, but just run them down instead of luring prey.
youtube
(there’s also video of the adult beetles preying on frogs, but they seem to all be stolen by some weird content scraper YT channels, so I’ll not post them here.)
let me know if I missed any good examples of vertebrate predation by bugs!

I'm feeling salty so I'm just gonna say-
If you can't handle the idea of feeding live prey to something.
Do not get a pet. That requires you. To feed it live fucking prey. There are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS!
Also don't be that fucking weirdo who goes on other people's socials and bitches about how it's "inhumane" or "gross". They'd be doing it out in the wild. It's a little something called nature. And no, you cannot find an "alternative" for your mantis.
It's a MANTIS. It is like. One of the most famous predatory insects. It is infamous for eating its prey alive.
If you're going to be a little baby about feeding live prey. Then get a pet that doesn't need that. And shut the fuck up.
#its just annoying as fuck like#if you don't like the idea of predation in animals then like... don't get a predator#i've been in the hobby for all of a month but this shit is everywhere#and its not new!#i used to own a pair of lizards when I was in high school and I was seeing this shit back then too#because I would give them crickets once a month as a treat instead of their usual veggies#and people are so WEIRD about animals eating other animals like#wtf is wrong with people?#it's a CRICKET calm down#like sure all life is sacred yadda yadda but fucking#all life being sacred doesn't mean that death never happens#because if my mantis doesn't eat he dies#if my spider doesn't eat she dies#it's called nature you chucklefucks#Reaper Man and Bracken would both be eating bugs if they were out in the wild#Bracken is actually a species native to my general area so like#there are spoods out there RIGHT NOW eating bugs#she just gets to have a cushy life with no predators and carefully controlled humidity and big fat flies on the regular#and a cute little hide#same for Reaper Man he gets a nice cushy home and all the food he could need#and people are really out here bitching about how its cruel fuck the fuck off#if you come into the bug keeping world and whine about this I just think you're a moron

do you know any cool zoology facts?
You might wanna sit down and have a snack for this
• That in lemur society, female lemurs are always the boss of the family (girl power)
• Red pandas aren’t related to anybody. They’re in their own family (and to anyone who says that red pandas are related to the giant pandas, they’re not related. Just because they have “panda” in the name, doesn’t mean that they’re related)
• In some birds, like a hummingbird, males are always a brighter color to attract mates, while the females are duller so that they can camouflage themselves to protect their nests
• There’s a cool lemur called an aye-aye that has a special long and skinny finger that they use to knock on wood on branches for echolocating any prey like maggots or other grub (try getting flipped off by them)
• A woodpecker’s tongue is SO long, it wraps around their skull (look it up. I’m not joking)
• A warthog and use their face as a shield to block off an entrance of their borrow, so that predators like lions can’t get through
• There’s a jellyfish called the immortal jellyfish that can live forever by turning itself back into a baby and repeats its whole life cycle
• As far as most people know, lions are the only wild cats that lives in a big social group
• Coyotes are very adaptable. They can adapt in any environment likes cities, the desert, the arctic, and in the forest
• Crocs, gators, and king cobras are cannibals
• Like with the lemurs (kinda), female praying mantis are VERY larger than the males, and since they’re bigger, they’re way too heavy and the males have the ability to fly. And they both eat their prey head first. Same goes to the females after they mated with the males
• To anybody that didn’t know, a narwhal’s horn is actually a tusk, like an elephant or a warthog
• All raptors are closely related to the dinosaurs
* Gars specifically have been around since the dinosaurs
And that’s all the zoology facts that I have for you. I’ll let you know if I have some more awesome and cool facts about animals

Hadal blacksite: An AU.
Words:1297
Note: @minnielvrr @itzsana-kiddingmenow
T/w: mentions of violence, gore, blood, death.
Lee: .--. .-. . ... ... ..- .-. .
Ler: -... -.-- / .-. --- -... .-.. --- -..-
Subject 251: Success. The green letters were painted onto the enclosure, as the sounds of banging glass ensued. Dark brown hair that nearly covered his eyes with a pure pale white skin covering his body, wrapped up in a thick fabric that prevented his power from taking place. Cries and wails echoed throughout the facility, you could faintly hear the sounds of concrete melting in the background. Leave it alone.
Subject 811: A somewhat success. The creature doesn’t like exiting his enclosure, preferring to keep to himself as a black ink spreads throughout, enshrouding him and the area into darkness. Guards who enter are to wear night vision goggles at all times, those who do not heed will pay the price of their life. An ear piercing scream sounds as light peeked through the exit of his enclosure, before two large tentacles slammed any guards in a nearby radius, velvet blood dripping onto the walls. Proceed with caution.
Subject 159: Success. The creature appears to be more soft hearted, and doesn’t cause any harm less provoked by guards. Its blonde hair and pure blue eyes give it an innocent appearance, but do not be fooled. Proceed into enclosure with a gas mask and company, never enter said area alone and without any protection. The heavy green gas it produces is highly poisonous and can induce multiple side effects such as loss of consciousness, anxiety or drowsiness. Do not provoke.
Subject 149: Huge success. It obeys orders without a fight, but guards are to always wear a blindfold or night vision goggles when entering. The creature tends to become ‘bored’ of its enclosure quickly, and soon you will be its next toy. It enjoys playing with its prey, paralysing them in place with its hypnotic gaze; ripping them apart limb by limb ever so carefully with almost sadistic intentions. The creature is to be immobilised whenever a guard enters, and never alone. Stock up on entertainment.
Subject 28: A near fail. Do not ever enter the enclosure, even with protection and guards. The purple-black liquid it produces is highly dangerous, and a slight change in the creature’s mood could take out at least a quarter of our stock; even if it is locked away. It gets along with subject 811 very well, they tend to mingle together in the darkness; you can hear the sounds of static and unintelligible language as they communicate with each other. Do not try to disrupt them, lest you feel the need to lose your life today. The creature doesn’t like to be alone, and tends to get into a very…sour mood when he is. To proceed with much caution when this happens, as it can and will eliminate you in seconds, suffocating you in the sticky void-like goo. Schedule daily meetups with subject 811.
Subject 203: Fail. Originally, It was meant to have the DNA of an angler fish, but the creature had ended up denying said DNA and instead refused to transform. We had afterwards injected the DNA of , ███████, a blue whale, a great white shark, a silver spiny fin, a mantis shrimp and a sea snake. It had turned out subject 203 had only taken a delayed amount of time to absorb in the samples of the sea creatures. It caused the creature to undergo a painful transformation, giving him three enlarged arms, the extra on its bottom right, along with a long shark tail. Its skin had turned a pale blue, and when nearby humans, its gills and angler lure would twitch in agitation; its hatred for humans runs deep into its veins. It's sleek, long and luscious black hair and baby blue siren-like eyes are just a ploy to lure you in, never fall for it. Stay clear unless with protection.
Subject 310: Somewhat successful. It tends to follow guards around, and is quite the passive creature. In the late hours of the night, you can hear its obnoxiously loud, yet contagious giggles roaming through the halls, stalking your every move. Should you be up too late, whispers fill your ears, coaxing you to head to bed soon; almost as if it was acting like a concerned care taker for you. Still, if you refuse to listen, the ghost comes to life, dragging you away and up into your room whether you like it or not. It stays outside quietly, shoving you back into bed when you try to get up even by an inch; sticking around till you fall asleep. However, as passive as it is, when other subjects are provoked, it tends to come into an overprotective, enraged state, killing anyone who dares to hurt the other enclosures, like a caring father. Assign a certain subject to it.
Subject 229: Successful, but at a cost. Subject 229 is made of multiple fishes combined together, allowing his arms to be larger than an average human by at least two times. The creature takes home in the vents, and claws or chokes anyone against the metal surface should they try to get it down from the system. Contrary to popular belief of workers here, it actually doesn’t disrupt the flow of ventilation in the systems, thus it has been allowed to stay in its newfound ‘enclosure’. However, should you find one of the doors that you had walked into suddenly blank out or its number makes a disappearance, CALL THE OTHER GUARDS IMMEDIATELY. But if you find yourself without reception, or without a nearby communication device, you have resigned your fate. It has found you, and you will be its prey. Keep a close watch over at all times over the cameras.
25/3/3125.
The lights flickered harshly, doors slamming shut as alarms wailed throughout the entire facility. It had gone into code red lockdown. Subject 28 had managed to sneak itself into the electrical room, deactivating everything in the facility with its goo. The sounds of metal doors opening sounded, fresh air cooling its surroundings as the subjects were let loose. The ‘hour of joy’, a reference to a game as someone would call it, occurred at that very moment. Guards were disappearing left and right, paralysing in a dark hallway before melting into the walls, sunken into the dark before being consumed by the void; no one could hear their screams.
Only one subject tried their best to calm the killer rampage, subject 310. It floated around the halls, desperately trying to cool the rest of them off, to no avail. The hour passed by as quick as it arrived, the entire facility coated in red, thick blood; no one had survived at all, torn to shreds or their body mysteriously disappearing. The subjects grouped together, huddled in a bundle, almost scared. They shivered, they wailed, wailed for their family back, they knew they weren’t going back. After a long comforting and empathising session by subject 310, the group settled on finding their documents, how long had they been cooped up here?
Opening the files they had earned, their eyes widened. 20 years. They had lost 20 years of their lives being here, being some kind of plaything and having to succumb to their fate. Despite this, they had no energy to even be angry, passing out on the cold metal ground. Subject 310 sighed, reading through their files to get to know them better, even going so far as to memorise all their names. Maybe it could lead these poor kids, running a hand through subject 811’s hair, smiling fondly at how its tentacles twitched in happiness.
It would have to reprimand the rest later for their reckless actions, but who was he to blame? They, it- no, he, had finally earned their righteous freedom, and formed the start of a lifelong bond.

What is your OC bringing to the class for show-and-tell?
*Bell rings* Come on young ones, time to grab your favourite piece of random!
High School Class
Onyx Pancakes: These are all my horse books. And here is my short essay using them to try and convince my mother to get me a horse.
Carson Foster: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! This is the trash bag representing how much rubbish my household generated in a day. (wouldn't take real rubbish because that is not a healthy choice for managing our OCD) Every one of you produces a similar amount that will likely NEVER decompose *begins rant about recycling*
Artemisia York: This is my praying mantis. She and her species engage in woohoo canibalism so she may have killed dozens of unsuspecting mates as well as her usual prey for feasting
Middle/Primary School Class
Fergus Pancakes: This is my camera. I know we mostly use the camera on our phones now but I love photography so mother and dad got me a real one.
Milton Goth: This is the collection of outfits my older brother and Uncle James use to dress up their cats
Heckler: Your brother shares cats with your uncle???
Milton: Uncle James is my brother in law, so he married my brother, but that's not the point. Look how cute these vampire and knight outfits are
Silas Knightstone: Today I brought some pictures of me and my younger brother Pollock. He's the best baby brother you could ask for. He's going to be a toddler soon. Here we are playing peek-a-boo
Savannah Chopra: Here are some locusts I caught on papa's crops. Mama and papa have promised we're going to go to Granite Falls and I can collect more. Bugs are amazing
Mercedes Chopra: Umm... I got some... sheet music. Mama says she... composted (composed) it when she was pregnant with me and Savannah. When I get... older she says she's going to teach me how to play it.
Daycare Darlings
Alfred Villareal: I like... birbs. This birb toy *waves bird toy* mummy got. Mummy know birbs. Mama got birb *points to self*... top!
Rilian Villareal: Sammich, no like, no like *waves half sandwich he hid in his bag to avoid eating it at home*
Viola Chopra: Egg! *chicken noises* (she absolutely bought some boiled eggs from the coop and would say that Cluckton lay them)
Pollock Knightstone: *chomps on squeaky toy*

Today on...um...bugs!
A few days ago I found this living pipe cleaner teeny grasshopper in the morning glories. Not sure if the white orbs around it are eggs. Also I wonder if the grasshopper stays in it at night when it closes?
Also, the baby mantis in my fuschias continues to do well. They were shaking their abdomen, probably trying to molt still.

Pro-Curetember Day 9: A Crossover with PreCure!
Since day 9 is all about crossovers with PreCure, I saw the opportunity to share some crossover art I made, which is yet another Monster Hunter crossover!
This first art piece depicts Cure Prism from Hirogaru Sky, but not clad in her usual white, pink, and blue-colored dress; now taking the form of pieces of thick leather clad with a steel breastplate, elbow-pads, knee-pads, and skirt adorned with pink, spiky scales, Cure Prism emerges in the form of a brave Huntress - or should I say: Rider (from the Monster Hunter Stories spin-offs) - with a glowing Kinship Stone held in place by smaller, leather belts on her left hand that mimics the design and shape of her Sky Mirage. Her design was based on the Blossom Wyvern, Pink Rathian (as seen below) - a Subspecies of the verdant colored Rathian, which is a species of female Flying Wyverns dubbed the "Queens of the Land". These mighty creatures are known best for three things: first is their ability to sprint and pursue prey for long distances; due to the weight of the Poison Sac in their body, the Rathian species are not known to fly often. They do, however, make up for this with powerful hindlegs, which allow them to pursue prey on foot with relative ease. Next is their notable flame breath; refined to even greater degrees than their green counterparts, Pink Rathians can unleash sweltering bursts of fire from their mouth in the form of huge fireballs or wide-sweeping flamethrowers. Lastly, Pink Rathians are also known for their barbed tails and shoulders, which contain a potent venom that can weather away at the health of their assailants if they are careless enough to face the brunt of the Blossom Wyvern's deadly tail-whips and spinning somersaults. [ Render by CAPCOM. ]
Moving on, the second piece depicts Cure Dream from Yes! 5/Yes! 5 GoGo, clad in golden pieces of armor with ornate, magenta-colored patterns and light purple accents, sprouting translucent butterfly wings from behind her - which fade into a light turquoise from a baby-pink color.
Furthermore - her Crystal Fleuret has changed, now depicting a golden Rapier with brown thorns wrapping around it in an upward spiral, ending right before the forked tip of the weapon. For those unfamiliar with the Monster Hunter franchise, Cure Dream's design is heavily based on the Pavilion Mantis - Ahtal-Ka. [ Render by CAPCOM. ]
Ahtal-Ka is a species of Neopteron (the classification of all Invertebrate/Insectoid animals in Monster Hunter) that closely resembles a Praying Mantis in physique, with a golden exoskeleton and ornate patterns that resemble classical Egyptian Pharaohs in design and hues. It is known for its incredible intelligence, utilizing the strong, golden silk from its abdomen and weaving it to latch on to large objects, such as: - Destroyed chunks of castle walls - Actual pieces of ruined kingdoms - Ancient weaponry and rusty artillery - A giant, double-crossed wheel, and; - Giant metallic scraps from destroyed fortresses. Now, the question is: how is it so intelligent? Well, here comes the awesome part: Remember the weapons, the giant wheel, and the fortress scraps it takes from the ground? Yeah - what if I told you it uses these to create and pilot its own giant Gundam by weaving the parts together with its silk? Behold: Ahtal-Neset. [ Render by CAPCOM. ]
So, uh, yeah! That concludes my entry for ProCuretember Day 9! Thanks for sitting through yet another yapping session if you've read this far into the article lol ~ Sap NOTE: Stay tuned for Friday the 13th - I've prepared something extra special. You don't wanna miss it!!!!

Pets for each MBTI type
INTJ : Praying Mantis
With its unmistakable death stare, cautious predatory immobility and elegant, solitary behaviour, added to its cold, robotic movements, mantis perfectly match with INTJ’s personality.
Pros : needs a few space, doesn’t eat a lot (like two insects twice a week), temperature and humidity conditions easy to maintain, fun to watch hunting (if you've got three hours to kill)
Cons : lives only 1 year, can’t be kept in group (unless you want to cause a massacre), needs live preys
INTP : Pacman Frog
Lazy, often nocturnal (but often with weird sleep schedule), usually half-buried in the soil, unmoving, and hating the company of other frogs, this is the perfect pet for INTPs.
Pros : does not require a great deal of care or a lot of space, is quiet (unless you annoy it), doesn’t need to be fed often (once a week when it’s adult), wouldn't try to socialize with you
Cons : sometimes try to eat your fingers, has some temperature/hygrometry requirements, needs live preys
INFJ : Leaf Insect
Discreet, blending in with the background, moving only slightly to avoid being noticed – yet mysterious and beautiful, stick or leaf insects could be the strange and silent companions of INFJ.
Pros : eats leafs (easy to find), is quiet, does not require a lot of space, temperature and humidity conditions easy to maintain, is cheap, very easy to breed (by parthenogenesis)
Cons : lives only 1 year, sometimes hard to be found in its terrarium, doesn't understand metaphysical discussions
INFP : Tortoise
Slow, shy, a little clumsy but absolutely adorable and surprisingly endearing, tortoises are somehow similar to INFP ; just like them, they can get easily scared and sometimes hide into their shells.
Pros : is very calm, lives for many years, eats fresh vegetables, is really cute (I mean, look at it, isn’t it one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen ?)
Cons : needs a lot of space, a lighting and a heating system (it’s very sensitive to temperature variations), is solitary, can enter into hibernation, can easily get health issues
ENTP : Rats
Because no sane person would ever think of adopting rats, this is the best choice for ENTPs. Actually, rats are really smart, playful, sociable and affectionate, capable of learning some funny tricks !
Pros : are easy to keep, would adapt their sleep schedule to stay as long as possible with their human, are cheap, omnivorous, will terrify people who are scared of rats, eat their own faeces (I mean, now that’s taking recycling seriously !)
Cons : live only 3 years, too gregarious to be kept alone (but beware of adopting a male/female couple, they would have too many babies), must have toys in their cage or they'd get bored
ENFP : Cockatoo
Weird, funny, incredibly curious and gifted, cockatoos can be both the most cute and the most annoying pets - ENFPs, what are you waiting for ? Adopt cockatoos !
Pros : has a long lifespan (several decades), is really smart and endearing, can learn human speaking, is funny, affectionate and friendly with humans
Cons : expensive, needs a lot of space, needs a diverse and varied diet (fruits, seeds, vegetables...), needs constant attention, is LOUD (but I don't think this one is actually a con for ENFPs...)
ENTJ : Ants
Have you always dreamed of being a ruler, a god ? Of having an army, a whole people entirely depending on your wise decisions ? With an ants colony, that dream will come true : you'll finally become the absolute master of many living beings !
Pros : reasonably affordable (highly depending on the spieces), do not need a lot of space (only an appropriate terrarium) and a lot of food, won't discuss your orders
Cons : can escape and invade home, won't necessarily understand all of your war strategy commands
ENFJ : Mini Pig
Smart, cute, empathetic and endearing, pigs living with their ENFJ human friend won't have to fear ending up as sausages !
Pros : original pet, is really friendly with humans, can eat the same food as you, contrary to popular belief is clean and intelligent, affordable price
Cons : needs enough space to live happily (a garden), often needs to be adopted in pairs, needs to be educated (as dogs for example)
ISTJ : Hamster
Meticulous, quiet and mostly odour-free : hamsters have many qualities that certainly may arouse ISTJs' interrest. Plus, they are extremely cute and some of them are even cuddly !
Pros : cheap, won't need a lot of space (1.5 m² at least), enjoy repetitive tasks such as organising their piles of food, tidying their nest, running in their wheel...
Cons : live only 3 years, can't be kept together (because they would fight for their territory), are nocturnal, eat their own faeces
ISTP : Cat
Do I need to explain ?
Pros : won't give a single fuck
Cons : won't give a single fuck
ISFJ : Rabbit
Cuddly, cute, cuddly, did I already say cute ? Rabbits are very expressive and need to be cared for, to be cocooned in gentleness so that they don't get anxious !
Pros : live about 10 years, are cuddly, soft, will communicate with you (body language + sounds)
Cons : need space (a garden), reproduce very quickly, can be easily stressed
ISFP : Canary Bird
These little artists spend their time singing, and often display bright, varied and enjoyable colours !
Pros : relatively cheap, easy to take care of, can live up to 10 years, pretty colours and sing nicely
Cons : need company (adopt 2 birds if you can’t spend time with them) but can display an agressive behaviour if two males are set together, don’t like to be touched a lot
ESFP : Budgies
Loud and incredibly gregarious, these little parrots can actually learn several words and will always keep you company. Their whole life is a party !
Pros : cheap, live about 8 years, easy to take care of, all but boring, very friendly with any living being (sometimes even with cats and dogs), will play with anything and nibble everything in sight (mostly your hair and earrings).... both smart and dumb little birds
Cons : need company (if you don’t have time for them, adopt at least 2 budgies), can get really, REALLY noisy and sometimes chaotically mischievous
ESTP : Ferret
A little hyperactive, annoying brat who’ll never miss a chance to make a mess of your personal things !
Pros : funny, friendly and playful, smart and can be potty-trained – plus really cute !
Cons : not the easiest pet to be taken care of, subject to illnesses if kept in bad conditions, males can be agressive, will quickly degrade your personal property if you don’t watch them
ESTJ : Goldfish
You’re busy with your work and don’t have time to put pressure on take care of a pet ? Then, an aquarium with some fancy goldfishes is the best option to display your love of animals without taking up too much of your precious time !
Pros : silent, won’t disrespectfully discuss your orders kind advices, actually pretty smart (contrary to the popular belief), great as an office decoration (but need enough space : chose an appropriately-sized aquarium, or they’ll get sick and you’ll have to pay for sick leave see a vet)
Cons : are often misunderstood : goldfishes aren’t dumb memoryless animals, they need enough space, not a small circular aquarium (their normal lifespan is about 15 years, but they often live much less because of bad keeping conditions), have some specific temperature, pH and sanitation requirements (and therefore appropriate equipments)
ESFJ : Dog
Are all ESFJs dogs, or are all dogs ESFJs ? That’s really a good question.
Pros and Cons : pretty much the same as an ESFJ child
(nah, seriously : inform yourself before adopting a dog, or any other animal for that matter!)

“The beautiful hunter sees her prey, a beautiful orchid mantis sunbathing. This creature is so beautiful with their light pink hue, clearly it’s a female-“ Cody stopped the narration and looked back at the book to confirm and continue. “-Yes it’s clearly a female. Very rare in this case but the beautiful hunter knows what her limits are.” Y/N giggled and had the net ready, soon she caught it. “Daddy I got it! Did you see me?!” She squealed and giggled fixing her safari hat, “Good Job babygirl!” He smiled and helped her get the insect in the jar, made so they can have air and not try to escape. “Daddy she’s beautiful!” Y/N smiled holding the jar, Cody grabbed her books and her extra nets putting them in the box that was outside. “Ok baby, let’s get inside, give her a name and fix up her new home.” She got up fixing her hat and grabbing the jar and putting it in her wagon and going inside.
Cody later was getting some cookies together as Y/N was writing in her journal and drawing her new friend. She loved bugs including mantis, and always wanted an orchid mantis. Cody has always helped her with her insect hobby but not letting it go crazy, so having small stuff like an ant farms, a butterfly farm, and now some mantis she’s keeping. “What should we name her baby?” He asked putting her wagon away for her as she goes to wash her hands from outside. She put her safari hat on the counter and looked at the beautiful bug in the large jar. “Hello…hmmm…how about peach?” Cody chuckled some and nodded. “I think that’s perfect. You remember what peach eats?” She wanted to look in her book but Cody snatched it. “The best bug keepers have a memory as strong as a Hercules beetle.” He smirked. Y/N thought long and hard, “I know like some small butterflies and some houseflies…oh and they love crickets!” “Good job baby. Now you have any of those left from feeding the others?” She nodded getting the bowls and Cody helped putting gloves on and getting tweezers. “After we feed her we can make peach a nice place to stay and get her a lamp.” He pulled out the book again, “They love the warm and humid places.” She nodded and did so, getting started on decorating and getting dirt making sure there’s small animals in it to make sure she has a midnight snack if she needs it.
The place was ready and she carefully got Peach in. She was in awe of the creature, she was so beautiful. “Daddy, she’s amazing.” “Baby careful you don’t want Georgie and Leo jealous.” He was talking about her other mantis friends. “Go ahead and feed them too, I’ll go and get food ready.” She nodded and did so introducing each one to peach. Peach was hiding away but Y/N understood it’s a new place and she has to get use to it. She put them away and made sure the cages were closed. She went over to her moth friend and saw that she wasn’t as active.
“Daddy…” Y/N was worried. Her Luna moth was her best friend, lets her crawl on her arm and when she first arrived she helped her out her cocoon and spread her wings. Cody came in hearing the concern in his littles voice, seeing she was near her moth friend. “Hey what’s wrong with Luna?” He asked sympathizing with her, “I don’t know… she looks sick…” Y/N tried to get her to climb on her hand but she avoided it still hanging on to the spot she was resting on. “Daddy what’s wrong with her…?” Her voice started to get shaky, Cody then grabbed a moth book from her bookcase and went through pages to see what was happening. He feared the worst. “Baby when did we hatch Luna?” “She hatched like last month daddy…why what’s happening…” Cody sighed. “I’m sorry babygirl, but Luna doesn’t have that long…” Y/N shook some and looked at the still beautiful moth. “But…daddy she’s my best friend…” “I know baby I know but they only live for so long. We have to get ready for her to go. That’s just how life span works.” Y/N started to shed tears and it hurt Cody, he looked at the moth and then at Peach. “But I need for you to think of it this way, a friend has to go. But you gained a new friend today. Peach is here to keep you company and you still have George and Leo.” She nodded but was still sad about Luna. “I have an idea for Luna too, but you have to trust daddy. Ok?” Y/N always trusting Cody. But it still hurt knowing a friend would have to go soon.
After the days past, and Cody sending Luna off to a friend of his, Y/N was in black around the house upset. She looked at her safari hat remembering when she first saw Luna, as a green caterpillar, like the one in the book Cody read to her once. She made a habitat and got them in the house fast since it was going to rain. She looked through her book and found out what kind of caterpillar it was, amazed at the beautiful wings. She showed her the picture proudly, “This is what you’re going to be, when you get all big and strong!” She giggled, seeing the caterpillar was trying to climb on the wall like it was reading the book from the enclosure. Y/N informed Cody about their new friend and Cody read some on the habitat and what they like. Helping her improve in the living habits and giving more greens because Luna could eat they gave the name and it was official. Talking to her every night and soon noticing she caught Luna around the time of cocooning. She was worried at first but was there all the way being a happy moth mama. And now…she’s gone.
About two weeks later, the mail arrived and Cody smiled knocking on the door of her big room. “Babygirl I have a surprise for you.” He said coming in. She was feeding her Venus flytrap plants after she finished up with her mantis friends making sure everyone was fed. “Yes daddy?” “I know you miss Luna, so I did something for her so you two can never be apart.” He smiled handing her a box, she look it and opened it on the desk and she was in slight shock. It was Luna, only thing is she was framed. She had a single tear fall down and started to cry. “She’s still so pretty daddy..” Cody knew those were happy tears and hugged her close. Having Luna pinned was a good surprise. “Daddy thank you so much.” She sniffled and kissed his cheek. Cody put Luna on the wall over the desk and smiled as Y/N took pictures showing her friends that are also into bugs. Cody sighed happy that it worked and the plan didn’t go sideways. Happy that his little bug hunter was happy.

Hellooo!
Love your art! I have your username memorized so I can daily check your blog for new delicious food nom nom nom
But also, I was wondering if you would mind putting a Read More Line, on your pinned masterpost? I just have to like hella scroll down to see the new stuff you've posted. No pressure!
Also, Valentino (and his sun and moon) and K9 are my favs!
K9 got that black window/prey mantis vibes since he likes to sex his prey, but he's like such a sweet lover. Can we see more lore on how he feels about preying on someone and how that relates to how he feels sleeping with them and then killing them???? Does he get attached, and heartbroken, or is it just no strings attached and the absolute thrill of it???
I love that Val is such a stinky bastard man who acts dominant, but is a def bottom-energy type of hoe.
Anyway, you're great and drink some water!!!
HELLO!!! KSJGHSKJ PLEASE THATS SO SWEET THANK U !!! OH i didnt know what was a thing tbh LMAO but it has been done now :] i also thought it was annoying KJSHSJKH Valentin...... K9..... my baby boys...... K9 is like an actual goof!! you think he isnt but like he has never... bedded anyone LMAO he only takes jobs from people who are innocent and has gotten hurt if that makes sense KSJHKSJHG Valentin.... help SJKHGKSJH get READ V LMAOOO SKJHSKJH THANK U!! :]
