!!!!!! BUG GUY HERE i have two mantids it couldve been! the description you gave sounds more like a golden praying mantis (hierodula venosa) --

-- with my one thing being these fellas are native to areas like malaysia and thailand, and i cant find any data on them being in ukraine; doesn't make it impossible though! and also i just realized i assumed you live in ukraine when you very well might not LMAO. in terms of mantids i could find that are native to areas around ukraine, there's iris polystictica --

-- which arent very yellow so i assume it wasn't one of em, but still pretty!! hope you dont mind the bugs :)

I did NOT expect that

I cant really confirm or deny if venosa is the one, but considering it's area and just it kinda looks like the one I saw was chonkier lol it's unlikely correct, though the general size from what I could find seems close enough

I'll take it as an interesting little guy

And definitely not the second one, cause yeah, too pale, and too small as well but that's a dope mantis anyway!

On my own little search found some cool ones, first of all SMOL

Second of all, yes I do live in Ukraine and when I looked up native mantids I found this beauty??(Empusa fasciata) Holy shit why so fancy

(Also cackled over a name of ameles taurica which is for some reason is called crimean little mantis, or like, cute mantis? Why, why did you need to emphasize it's goofiness in its name? There is probably a reason behind it but I did not look into it, that's a discovery for another time)

If I match with a specific area where I live and, and with that, where I found it, only two ones match up, which are your aforementioned Iris polystictica and also a common/european mantis.

Really the best guess is that it is a european mantis, cause I found some info on them having yellow coloring on them. Or we can go batshit insane and say it was a european mantis with xanthochromism, thank you for sending this ask, it was fun

Wherever your miserable life takes you, whoever you find to endure time with, whatever pale proxy of me... I'll be with him. Just wanted you to know that.

no one gets vivienne and cole's dynamic like i do. the one-sided fear. the dual-sided stubbornness. the inability to stop yourself from caring about someone you shouldn't. cole's belief that he could help vivienne if she just let him, if she stopped being so afraid of him. how that very fear targeted towards him goes against his very nature of being a spirit of compassion. and then, of course, vivienne's belief that she would be helping everyone else if she outed cole for being what she believes to be an immediate, glaring threat. her fondness for cole going against her very nature of being an enchanter, a circle mage who is supposed to 'know better'. noooo one gets them like i do

romancing davrin as rook de riva, specifically as a rook whose personality is a lot like teia, is hilarious to me because while no one can compare to viago and the record-breakingly huge stick up his ass, davrin does have a similar kind of serious, intense, no-i’m-not-having-an-emotion-what-are-you-talking-about demeanor on the surface. and i can just imagine teia having a blast watching rook do the same “being such an irresistible nuisance that he has no choice but to give in” routine on davrin that she regularly uses on viago.

i’m also a big fan of a crow rook who’s similar to a younger illario in a lot of ways (including but not limited to having a reputation as everyone’s least favorite crow). not enough that it’s immediately obvious, but enough that after a lot of time spent together, lucanis finds himself naturally treating rook like a little brother and falling into a lot of old patterns of good-natured teasing and getting into trouble from before things got complicated, when it was still him and illario against the world.

specifically, i love putting both of these ideas into one rook. and sure, we could talk about the raging headache that a teia-illario hybrid would give viago, or we could talk about illario seeing that lucanis has (as he would see it) replaced him and that he isn’t even the first choice to play his own role in lucanis’ life anymore. those thoughts are, respectively, hilarious and devastating and i’ll be thinking about them forever. but you know who i really want to talk about?

caterina.

because oh my god can you imagine the absolute mindfuck of having her home and family saved by a kid who is basically a combination of her least favorite grandchild/personal punching bag and the one person in the world with the power to get away with calling her nonna? and they’re in love with a grey warden?

truly, if anything could get the woman to just up and retire, i think that might do the trick.

do u think armand telepathically called lestat while he was turning daniel like "heyy idk what i'm doing like i'm literally just a 500 year old girl and i've never done this and you make fledglings every 2.5 business days like a WHORE so help me" and lestat just hung up on him
