Ram Ranch Really Rocks!

[jaded-tisay]

at a YUGE camp rn with limited internet access. currently pondering two possible scenarios:

- the campers all turn out to be part of an ancient cult that requires human sacrifices like in midsommar and i have to fend for myself

- the apocalypse happens and the ppl at the camp are the only survivors. the burden of producing the next generation of humanity falls onto the 18-30 year olds and i have to get hitched to this 19 yo guy I’m sharing a tent with

Cool cause I'm bored too while I write about Hopper sneezing 😂

And these are pairings that have been mentioned at any point in other fanfictions or stuff like that. I don't necessarily like all of them but I'm still curious as to what YOU think 👀

Atta X Flik

Hopper X Atta

Francis X Slim

Dim X Rosie

Gypsy X Manny

Flik X Heimlich

Hopper X Flik

Molt X Rosie

That's a lot so have fun 😁

1.- Flik x Atta

UGH YES MY BABIES MY SEROTONIN MY OXIGEN MY RELIGION MY LOVE MY LIFE MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE EVERYTHING I DO REVOLVES AROUND THEM.

As you can tell, I’m the ultimate Flatta shipper lol. But for real, I absolutely adore this ship and everything about it. They deserved more screen-time and we were robbed from getting a reconciliation + kiss scene!!

2.- Atta x Hopper

Sorry to anyone who ships this, but I strongly dislike this ship with a passion. 😭 I consider it a toxic and abusive relationship in which the girl is not getting any benefits, while the guy takes advantage of her in any way he can.

3.- Francis x Slim

Never thought I’d ship them, but they somehow managed to get my attention and now I fully support this ship and everything about it.

4.- Dim x Rosie

I remember there was a point where I used to ship this, but now I see them more as mother and son tbh. They’re both so sweet to each other and they have such a beautiful friendship.

5.- Gypsy x Manny

aaaaaa these two are so adorable and so wholesome. <3 love love love. They deserved more screen-time as well.

6.- Flik x Heimlich

Honestly? I didn’t even know this ship existed lmao. If any of you guys ship it, good for you ig but I don’t see them being together or anything like that.

7.- Flik x Hopper

GOD NO this has got to be one of the ships I hate the most. Sorry if any of you like this, but I really don’t understand what’s there to like about this. They like, hate each other in a really intense way, not to mention that they both tried to kill each other more than once, and one of them actually accomplished it. 😭 Never in my life will I get caught liking this ship.

8.- Molt x Rosie

Again, I didn’t know this was a real thing. But I also don’t see this happening and I don’t see myself being fan of this ship, they never interacted in the movie so I really don’t feel like I have a reason to ship this hahaha. But if you like it, that’s great!

DONT WORRY HOPPER LIKES THE SHIRT😅

[bluemoonbeam15]

Out of curiosity, and feel free to ignore this if you’ve already made a post saying this, what ages do you headcanon the characters as? I imagine Hopper and Molt to be… younger than you’d think. What are your thoughts?

No, I've never mentioned their ages. The most I've stated is that the ages, in order of youngest to oldest, are as follows:

Dot -- Dim -- Flik -- Atta -- Molt -- Heimlich -- Tuck -- Roll -- Hopper -- Rosie -- Francis -- Slim -- Gypsy -- Manny -- Phyllis.

But I have talked with Piojo about their ages in a more in-depth manner. The way they consider ages in the bug world is by seasons, which is the equivalent to 3 months for humans.

So,

1 season = 3 months

2 seasons = 6 months (half a year)

3 seasons = 9 months

4 seasons = 12 months (1 year)

With that in mind, I've calculated the approx. ages of each of the characters according to their roles in the colony/work, respective height, and voice resonance. I'll go in the same order as the list above:

Dot: 8 seasons (2 human years)

Dim: 15 seasons (3.75 human years)

Flik: 25 seasons (6.25 human years)

Atta: 26 seasons (6.5 human years)

Molt: 28 seasons (7 human years)

Heimlich: 28 seasons (7 human years)

Tuck: 30 seasons (7.5 human years)

Roll: 30 seasons (7.5 human years)

Hopper: 32 seasons (8 human years)

Rosie: 33 seasons (8.25 human years)

Francis: 35 seasons (8.75 human years)

Slim: 36 seasons (9 human years)

Gypsy: 40 seasons (10 human years)

Manny: 42 seasons (10.5 human years)

Phyllis: 50 seasons (12.5 human years)

It might seem like their ages are so close together compared to how it should be, but insects do age more over a short time span than humans. Realistically speaking, grasshoppers only live for a year and ants only live for about 4 years at the most.

But this is an animated movie so realism is something I can only tread so close to in my stories XD I try to keep things as realistic as possible to nature, but the laws of animation make it a challenge. It is fun, though, to work around the creative worlds to try and fit them within the confined spaces of our reality.

Here's also a rough idea of the ages (in seasons) according to their stage in life (infant, child, teen, adult, elder)

Infant: 0 - 7 seasons

Child: 8 - 13 seasons

Teen: 14 - 26 seasons

Adult: 27 - 38 seasons

Elder: 39 - 81 seasons

Most ants will reach the end of their time by about 81 seasons (20.25 human years)

If any of you wish to calculate your OC's using my method, just follow this equation:

(# of seasons x 3) / 12 = age in human years

Just be aware that no matter how young the age in human years might seem, the insects will mature and grow at a much faster rate. In 1/4th the time, to be precise.

But feel free to come up with your own "age calculator"! This is just a rough sketch of one I've been using for my stories. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have another headcanon for their ages!

The Stories of It’s Tough to Be a Bug Exclamation Mark

Observable Story

Flik wants to negotiate peace between humans and insects, but we think bugs are gross.

Flik tries to impress us with an insect talent show. Hopper--the Malcom X to Flik’s MLK--interrupts the show to attack us. A convenient chameleon scares Hopper away, so Flik finishes the show with a vaudevillian song that accuses us of wanting to commit genocide.

Experiential Story

We want to be entertained, but I mean, come on, we're watching bugs.

We're subjected to jump scares from "friendly" bugs. Then we're subjected to physical violence from malevolent bugs. Then we're relieved when a lizard scares a bug away, repulsed when we feel bugs crawling beneath us, and (theoretically) charmed by the bugs who are guilting us in the finale.

Human-Insect Relations: HEALED

[astrolionking]

I saw ABL stuff and it made me realize I haven’t posted these

I might redraw them bc I’m not happy with the designs and my art has improved since this but ENJOY

OKAYOKAY LAST ONE 18!!

18. Share three of your ships and why you ship them

1) Onceler x Lorax

It sucks that Oncest was more popular in the Onceler fandom bc Ed Helms and Danny Devito had so much sexual tension in the movie 😣 It’s that classic “friends to enemies” tragedy trope

2) The penguins of Madagascar in a polyamorous relationship

It’s just a very strange dynamic that left me with the impression that they all want to have s*x with each other

3) Flik x Hopper

We stan this progressive gay interspecies couple 💅 #lovewins
