Cross Guild Headcanon: How they react to bugs/insects

Mihawk:

Totally unafraid of whatever bug he finds. Venomous, poisonous, lots of legs, no legs, winged, flightless; it doesn’t matter, he hasn’t met a bug scarier than a person

Will pick up random bugs and examine them, absolutely unconcerned about stingers or pincers

Does his own taxidermy and has an extensive collection of strange insects he���s found on his travels.

Whatever bugs he doesn’t take home he sketches and writes about in meticulously kept journals

His favorite bug: the camel spider- vicious, unloved, solitary

Crocodile:

Doesn’t really think about bugs and is unbothered by them.

Except for scorpions and tarantulas. If he sees a tarantula on the wall or in the corner of the room he’s leaving. And then quietly sending someone else to get rid of it.

He will deny this fear. “Would a man who keeps man-eating beasts be afraid of some small… many legged…venomous creature?” Yes. He would.

Had an unbelievably uncomfortable meeting with Mihawk one time where he met at Mihawk’s castle and the whole wall was lined with scorpions. They never met at Mihawk’s place again.

His favorite bug: a dragonfly - eye-catching, quick, born from the water and lives in the light

Buggy:

Does not like any bug! If that thing flies at him, if it has too many legs, or looks pointy he will freak out.

He doesn’t even like the most acceptable kinds of insects; ladybugs, butterflies, caterpillars, etc. It doesn’t matter how harmless, if they have too many legs, he will not go near them.

When he was a kid, he used to collect them with Shanks. But he had a traumatic experience when he brought a spider back into their room and it released an egg sac that had hundreds of little spider babies.

After that incident, his relationship with bugs continued downhill. The straw that broke the camel spider’s back was visiting an island with humongous insects and getting lost in the jungle for hours with wasps chasing him.

His favorite bug: If he was forced to choose, probably a butterfly (but at a distance!)- colorful, flashy, can’t technically hurt him

Chaol. friggin. Westfall. My old love, who I thought got “unjust treatment” that I would never agree with — WHY oh WHY did you have to go make me change my mind??? Cause I’m sorry but CHAPTER 7 of QoS— SIR what was THAT little stunt!?! IM SORRY but “UNPREDICTABLE” …oh no-no-no sir… I THOUGHT BETTER OF YOU! But oh boy, the tides are changing!

Maybe I am entirely sick of everyone ignoring the "free will" side of the fate versus free will argument. Maybe I am sick of everyone thinking that I will, for absolute certain, become just like Bouchard. Maybe I would like to be judged on my own merits, rather than Elias's!

I love them to bits with total passion and their burn-away scene made me cry like a baby, but choosing the name Paul was like hitting my kneecaps with a baseball bat.

I might be Nonsharing Self-Shippers’ Biggest Defender but I will say I feel Catholic schoolboy masturbating levels of guilt for having to block people who share F/Os with me. Inside Joey is two wolfs. One wolf goes “It’s totally reasonable to want to block this one artist, they’re decently popular in the already fairly small fandom and the last time you saw their OC x canon artwork it made you spiral for a solid half hour”. The other goes “B…But blocking is a last resort 🥺 And you guys were sort-of mutuals 🥺🥺 They did nothing to you personally you’re overreacting 🥺🥺🥺”. My life is a comedy

Pushkar Camel Fair: 10 Tips for First-Time Visitors

[thatdemiboymess]

> Be me.

> Doing dishes, using a scouring sponge on my pizza pan.

> I enjoy the metallic scent, as usual.

> Metallic scent is nostalgic to me. It reminds me of being a child and sitting in the living room watching cartoons.

> Remember that the reason the living room had a metallic scent back then was because of The Stabbing where one of my mom's ex-boyfriends broke in the front door and started stabbing her boyfriend of the time.

> Realise that's probably a bit messed up, but so was the vast majority of my childhood.

> Continue doing dishes.

Extremely large camel named Samson

The guy gave an interesting presentation about camel milk, it was pretty informative but I seriously doubt it’s efficacy in treating autism.

There were rows of cages of rabbits and chickens you could buy, but we only took one picture (taken by my brother)
