im watching caseoh play "Night Doner" and hearing him say "diner" instead of "doner" as in the turkish(i think it was turkish but we have it in bulgaria too) food set off some type of primal instinct in me

i like zasp a lot

[dooblebugss]

being inspired by dungeon meshi to think about bugs is valid because thinking about fictional food is always fun.

like i always thought it was vaguely funny that Bugarians don't eat meat, but there is also a decently large population of living plants. like, is their herbivorism a moral, cultural, or biological thing? like is zasp aware that he's a carnivore, for example, because wasp?

would Bugarians eat mosscreeps? would they be ok with it if they did not know that mosscreeps are like, little animals?

are seedlings and their like partially bugs or are they more like ambulatory plants?

and then theres the Hallownest folks, who seem to have little qualms about eating even sentient bugs- altho sometimes I wonder if that little "cannibalism" thing is a little overstated since a.) the hunter's journal may not be the best representation of Hallownest atittudes about sentient bug consumption, and b.) the dire situation of the City of Tears during the infection might have lead them to drastic measures.

then again, Willoh considered eating Ghost (and the corpse above her alcove was afraid of being eaten too), Deepnest absolutely eats basically any bug they kill, sentient or not, I doubt the Mantis tribes would have any problem eating sentients either... the leaf and mushroom tribes wouldn't even consider it canniablism cuz they're not made of meat, etc.

I just love the vibes that Hallownest bugs, while sentient, are still closer to an insect's mindset than ours. with how much of their roads, homes, and equipment are made of old dead bugs or bug parts, it certainly isn't a stretch to imagine they eat their dead, too. Why not? then again they do have graveyards. hm.

anyway sorry for the long post. i love the implications of fictional races and their food culture. I have similar thoughts about pokemon consumption.

I also believe its a matter of circumstance; Bugaria has a surplus of food so massive that they literally use it as currency. They have farms and livestock and a sort of economy. They can afford to be picky.

Hallownest is all about survival. There are no farms, no livestock. There's only plants you can gather and prey you must kill. Until Ghost stopped the infection, you were on your own, so to speak.

After the Wasp King turned into a tree. Everyone thought he was dead after the transformation except Leif for some unknown reason is able to feel his presence and hear his voice.

He will discover many secrets. About himself but also about the past of the former usurper.

[feathers-feathers]

The Knight finds its way to Bugaria and the Ant Kingdom. They don't know where it came from. When asked, it just points at the Forsaken Lands on a map but does not elaborate.

As exploring is its favorite activity, of course it joins the Association. Maki does his usual test of skill and very quickly learns that yes, this little creature can, in fact, handle combat. Very well. Very Fucking Well.

They get the hint that this creature might be a little more powerful than they expected when Leif enters the room and immediately collapses into a week long coma.

They tried to stick the Knight with a team, but nobody could keep up. The other teams - including Team Snakemouth (especially Vi) - aren't very happy about the Knight hoovering up all missions before anybody else even learns of them.

One of the missions the Knight took was something rather minor, except it was for the Roach Village, so the Knight had to go through the Giant's Lair to get to the mission. The Knight didn't hint towards anything strange happening on the way, it just took and finished the mission and that was that. They put two and two together when they find Dead Lander Omega's corpse the next day.

One day, they were planning to do some initial scouting around the Eastern Lands. the Knight of course, immediately jumped at the prospect of exploring an unknown land. The Ant Kingdom hoped this would keep it occupied for a while, and they wouldn't get better results with any other team.

It returns two weeks later with a fully detailed map of the entire Eastern Lands, as well as seven carts of war trophy's being hauled by some plant creature they've never seen before - a note is attached to the creature that says "I surrender - Mars."

The Knight expectantly holds open it's pouch of geo and berries.

Taxes are increased the next day.

Bugtober 2024- Day 29: Family

With Apollyon losing their mother before they hatched and their father being too dedicated to his role as a hierophant, Apollyon was left in the care of an Owl moth named Alessa.

Alessa was a caregiver to many of the young in Wayfarer’s Respite, ensuring that they would pupate successfully, but she ended up caring for Apollyon well into its childhood. Even though she eventually had to return Apollyon to their father, they always saw her as their only form of family in the village.
