#i dont want people coming out of this loving bugs but hating ants!! no!!! i love ants!!! ants are cool!!!

[idolomantises]

me: (writes several ants as more prejudice to built on different societal views and worldbuilding. in this case, many ants prefer engaging with their own kind, but hoping to make it clear later on that this behavior doesn't represent an entire species)

webtoons comments: (Start talking about how they wont feel bad when they kill ants irl or destroy ant hills)

WARNING! Descriptions and photos of bugs like arachnids(spiders) Mantises, and more creepy crawly guys!

Entemologist-ADHD rant here!!

I was recently added in a post by my sibling that inspired me to write this.

For the record I have low functioning ADHD and possibly Autism as well, and dyslexia. One of my biggest fixations are bugs, insects, arachnids, and all alike.

People are scared and terrified of bugs! I’m sure everyone agrees or understands that. I do. Even some entomologists do. I know I do. I remember a cicada flew into my home when I was in texas and spazzed out. Out of hysteria I begged the cat to kill it. I had immediately guilt for the little guy when I picked him up and went outside—I had a panic attack and cried. Especially when my step mom dame outside to check on me and saw the bug, she ran off.

Being afraid of bugs is our human nature. That tiny—or BIG creepy crawlies don’t sit right with us. I love bugs! And yet I am TERRIFIED of skinny flying bugs.

But please. Please. Do not kill them out of pure hate or for laughs. I may come off as an “emotional” person on this topic. But really, I have raging amounts of empathy and morality. I am autistic. And classified as someone who “overreacts” or is just “sensitive.” I’ve been called that my whole life. But bugs raised me. When I was little, going through all the crap I did? Bugs were there with me. I love them.

Ants and bugs are more hard working than 98% of the human population. I’m gonna be brutally honest. A lot of us are no better than lice. We consume, we pro create, and raise those kids to be like us—when all humans do is litter, waste, and contaminate mother earth. Thats not to say we’re all like that. But a lot of us are. I used to be.

We do not live above life. Above animals, and bugs. We live WITH them. We evolved with them. They were here first.

That’s not what I’m here to say though. I’m here to say that bugs don’t choose to be bugs. To be small, tiny, creepy and crawly. We dont choose to be humans. It’s who we are. And honestly. Despite being a a human who has dealt with it, I can’t hate lice. I can’t hate bugs like bed bugs, or mosquitoes either. You’re not born CHOOSING to be a parasite. Ofc I don’t like them. But bugs don’t choose to be who they are. They are tiny creetoors who shouldn’t be killed because you CAN.

Just because you can. Doesn’t mean you should. You can hurt people. You can kill people. You can litter, and graffiti and be a d1ck. But it doesnt mean you should. I believe heavily in karma and reincarnation.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Because tiny souls shouldn’t be tormented and stepped on for being them. Ofc there will be accidents or times of pure hysteria. Just like I had. I step on ants all the time—not on purpose of course. But it happens. I’ll kill mosquitoes when they land on me without thinking—because that’s the human instinct. I’d never be mad at someone for killing flies or mosquitoes. They’re annoying and sometimes painful. But they don’t choose to be at the top of hated insects. You know?

Nothing chooses to be a pest.

Bugs are little—or big guys who are trying to live in a world where humans just—hate them. For living—being them.

Heres some examples of bugs that are often feared:

Praying Mantises. They’re known for their praying pose(hence their name) and big ol eyes that look like they’re always look at you.

They’re 99% harmless. Sometimes they may be considered pests to some plants. But to humans and animals?? Harmless. They have sharp spines on their arms, but its to grab on and it doesn’t hurt. Despite being carnivorous and literally eating BIRDS and animals bigger than them, they do not care for humans. Their bug eyes are for a 3D vision and a wide view. Some can fly. And honestly most mantises avoid humans.

They do not care for you.

Spiders(mainly talking about Daddy longlegs, black widdows, and Brown recluses. Seeing as people are terrified of those.)

It’s ofc recommended to avoid Widows and Recluses. But they are not after you. They will not go out of their way to chase you and kill you or eat you—or even scare you. These little guys are 100% more scared of you than you are of them.

Brown recluses are a reclusive species(hence the name) of spider. They are extremely venomous, more than some snakes—but they will not go through a long process of biting and injecting you unless they feel threatened. They tend to only bite if they sense fear, or you’re being rough/messing with them.

Same with Black widows. Aka the Latrodectus. In general are known as The Window spider. Since there are Brown widows, and red widows as well. They won’t go out of their way to be assholes. They’re just living among us. (Haha funny game reference)

Last but not least is Daddy long legs(harvestmen) and Cellar spiders! I used to think they were the same, but they’re not! They’re in the same family, but Cellar spiders reside in the corners of houses. So do Harvestmen spiders. But Harvestmen are more found outside. They both can not bite, nor pinch! I pick up Harvestmen spiders all the time! Heres a photo of ME holding one!!

They’re very nice to pick up, and actually initially will fall off just to get away from you.

With that being said, I just wanted to prove that a few commonly feared bugs honestly aren’t all as they seem. Of course you should avoid venomous and deadly ones, regardless if you think it’s going to bite you or not. But please. If you can. Cup it with a cup, and get a plate or paper, take the little faller outside. Hems in there for the AC, or for the food. Not there to kill you.

I’m going to close this by saying thank you for anyone who was dragged through this whole thing and read till the end🤲 Bugs appreciate your mercy man. Take some photos of me holding bugs!!(including a frog cause he’s a tiny guy)

(3rd one is the cicada i had a panic attack over)

[n-ugg]

I didn't expect to get tagged but here we are. As you all will be able to tell in a bit, I am a massive Quackity fan

Thank you for tagging me @skeetlehands!

who is your favourite member on the smp?

Look, I love them all but these have a special place in my heart.

Quackity, Slimecicle (I am fully aware he just joined but I still love him), Schlatt, Tubbo, Eret, AweSamdude, and Ponk.

They're just great in and out of character and just have comforting vibes.

when did you first start watching the smp and what made you get into it?

I gotten in during the Pogtopia era since it took me a while to get access to the streams.

I mainly gotten in with the Sad-ist War animatics along with me trying to catch up on Quackity's VODS. Just someone that I was already familiar with being an easier shift into story and learning others through him

what is your favourite part about watching the smp?

Just watching everyone interact with other and just seeing the plot progress in real time. Its literally just dnd but with extra steps but I enjoy it so much

The improv that they all do is amazing and how everyone have different approaches to their characters makes my writer's side so happy with dissecting everything.

What piece of cursed lore is your favourite

That Wilbur canonically fucked a fish and Philza canonically fucked a Samasung fridge and just seeing the fanbase try to change into something that will at least make a bit more sense.

Im included in this, I basically joined the side that has Sally being a mermaid shapeshifting pirate. Mainly because of pirate Fundy

Who is your favorite duo on the smp

Slimecicle and Ranboo: They're the same person but in different fonts, you can convince me otherwise

Schlatt and Quackity: They managed to be super funny together with all of the jokes and balanced with making a very realistic abusive relationship work. It was always fun seeing them flirt with each other for a joke then get hit with whiplash when canon comes in to remind me that this isnt healthy

Tubbo and Tommy: They're two dumbasses who share the same braincell but then they constantly lose it and Tubbo mainly has custody of it

Wilbur and Schlatt: I just enjoy seeing Schlatt messing with Wilbur and occasionally flirts with him to get Wilbur more pissed off

Who are your comfort streamers

Quackity and Slimecicle are comfort streamers

Eret, Fundy, and AweSamdude are my comfort people (meaning I dont watch them as much but I find comfort in their presence. And the other two are also under this category)

Who is your favorite character

Quackity due to how complex his character is and yet how it looks so simple

Schlatt because is just a villian who knows how to play the game without getting caught

Tubbo, watching him trying to be hopeful with everything destroy around him and he just slowly become used to everything going wrong

AweSamdude because he is just trying his best to be a father figure others and I just got family issues

Who do you think the best actor(s) on the smp

Imma skip over the ones that we all already said and get into the ones that dont get enough praise

Quackity: Just how he managed to make his character seem so basic but in reality its really complex. And just seeing the shift from him being a chaotic force of nature to being a serious character that is trying his best to reach something that has been hanging over his head is just *chefs kiss* and he always delivers amazing lines on the spot.

BadBoyHalo: He is doing great right now, even though he is a bit rusty with starting he still manages to get into character and stay in character the entire time. When slowly easing in, you can tell its a bit forced but once he finds his footing, he knows how to deliver his lines.

AweSamdude: His entire bit where he was getting rescued from the egg fucking hurt. How he sounded weak from the entire thing and tired to where he just wanted to rest was so well. And I know he can act more energetic when he was accidentally dragged into playing a cop during Quackity's and Bad's date

Fundy: You guys need to give him more praise for his acting because he is fucking amazing at it. The little touches to how he voice when speaks is so good along with his body language in game. He knows what he's fucking doing and I love him for that. And when he snapped, it made complete sense if you payed attention to his character

I didnt add Ranboo because he's automatically at the top section due to him being a dnd player. Same goes to Slimecicle even though he hasnt acted yet. I dont make the rules. You play dnd, you know how to act

What are your favorite quotes

I dont have favorite quotes, just dialog heavy scenes.

Before Doomsday, Quackity going to take his horse far away from L'Manberg, it being the one thing he cares about. It was just so good

The entire Schlatt and Quackity argument in front of the white house

The meeting between Schlatt and Quackity with Schlatt yelling out to him in a taunting way to where Tommy and Quackity are trying to figure out what happened to the tnt. I constantly rewatch it to feel the adrinaline pumping to feel something

Wilbur's slow descend into insanity and talking to Tommy. Just showing his paranoia and fears consuming him, him projecting his fears into Tommy as an attempt of manipulation, and his hero complex shift into villian one

Schlatt's winning speech of him projecting it as something that was bound to happen no matter what. The amount of charisma and confidence that was in his voice as I was watching Tommy hiding underground in fear was just a perfect scene

Tommy's argument with Dream when everyone is protecting Tommy. Its the small details of Tommy taunting Dream to kill him, knowing he wont no matter what. Him telling everyone to protect Tubbo and everyone listening without hesitation.

The debate that Quackity and Dream had for like 11 or 14 minutes. All of that was completely unprompted unscripted, it was just so satisfying seeing someone stand up against Dream for the first time and actually beating him. Sure it was in a verble conflict but it still counts as a defeat

Be honest, who do you simp for? (Ayo if anyone says Tommy or Tubbo I will🗡)

Schlatt, Quackity, and Slimecicle

Its pretty obvious, I dont really try to hide it

Whats your favorite stream

Uhhhh I dont exactly have one so none I guess

Whats your least favorite streams

Im sorry, but all of the Jackbox stream. You need a specific group of people to play together in order to actually make it funny and keeping the energy throughout the entire thing.

After a bit later, everyone has a tendency of pandering to the audience and repeat jokes. They managed to beat jokes to the ground faster than Tiktok AND Twitter.

Dont get me started with DreamTeam being in there. They're funny in thier own rights but the shipping jokes get so unfunny so quick and they dont know how bounce off of others well. The only exception to this is when Quackity, Velvet, and Ant were playing with Sapnap and Dream. And thats because they decided to mess with the straight white guys into accidently saying offensive shit and seeing those two suffer with trying tiptoe around was so amusing

Whats something about the smp fandom thay makes you sad

This doesnt get me sad, just frustrated and its mostly towards dsmptok and dsmptwt but sometimes this fandom doesnt fucking know how to analyze characters. Like when everyone jumped on Tubbo on being the bad guy when he was a kid trying to use old tatics that knows that worked before and stand up for himself

How when one person decides to do something that they believe is right, everyone just throws the term villian arc around

When one person does one good thing the suddenly everyone accepts into them being good and not ever looking into it.

For fucks sakes, I saw people keep saying that Quackity was turning into Dream or Wilbur and I just sat there being confused on how they conntected those dots that were in different books.

Its so frustrating to read through. But here on dsmpblr, you guys actually understand character analysis, are able to critique them and able to love whoever you enjoy.

Another thing is how this fanbase really puts everyone on a pedestal or objectify them. Just completely forgetting that they're human and treat the streamer as a character. Like, yeah they're playing up a persona whenever they're making content but theres a difference and you shouldn't hold them up like that.

You cant use the argument of "They're young, they dont know any better", when I first entered my first fandom (I was like 11/12), I fully understood that theres a boundary between me and the creator. What they are on screen is a persona but they're still human and I should treat them as such. Its just something that bugs me and its unnerving to see whenever people start getting wierd about it

Final bit is just how the twitch chat acts. They all force the streamer to follow the 'main' plot of it being Tommy or Techno or whoever the fandom chooses to have a favorite, completely ignoring the fact that they are their own character. No one wants to meta game because where is the fun in that but the fucking chat gets so annoying when the streamer goes against fanfavorite of the week. It drains the fun of it being multiple pov's and different characters.

When Slimecicle was barely starting stream I saw so many people spam "Go with Ranboo" and not let him even get into lore first. I hated that I knew it was coming but it was still so fucking frustrating seeing them try to boss him around. Please just let people live outside of the 'main' plot, not everything revolves around your favorites. Now shut the fuck up and let them play

What about the smp fandom that makes you happy?

The people that create art, animatics, theories, playlist, or write oneshots

All of you creators are great and deserve so much more respect then what the fandom gives you because jesus fucking christ they're all so fucking rude. You guys are the ones that are carrying this fandom on your backs and I fucking respect yall for that

20 January 2021

I wouldn't call myself religious.

I can count on one hand all the times I've been in a church.

Once, my baptism. I was an infant. The dress is in the garage somewhere.

The second, a Easter communion with my mother's work. I thought the grape juice tasted bad.

The two funerals. The most recent being my grandfathers', a devout Catholic.

I spent most of my childhood with him, he'd take me around town in his black truck with no back seat. He had the Virgin Mary hung from his rear view mirror. Before we'd drive he's hold it, and pray, and I never understood the significance, only that it was for "safety".

I always thought the necklace was beautiful. But you dont wear rosaries. My godmother gives me one every other year for my birthday. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do with the plastic beads and saccreligion.

I keep it wrapped in the tissue paper it came in and tucked in a box in the back of my closet because I'm too afraid to touch it, to defile something so valuable yet worthless to me. People stake their lives on these things and yet to me they're just a keepsake I would feel guilty tossing. They take them from innocent people at the boarder, dehumanizing real people and denying them their rights of faith and yet I have an abundance I don't want and really never did.

As a kid you'd feel like people were still with you. Look to the clouds and feel the presence of your dead dog or drowned fish. But I got older and began to think of death as the end of my consciousness. I look to the sky after we left the chapel, with the thirty other people who wanted to say goodbye and feel the presence of my grandfather for the last time, and the sky was empty.

I felt terrible. Not so much that he was gone, it was a long time coming, but that his leaving didn't make me feel terrible.

His prayers for safety when entering the car didn't protect me anymore. The eyes of Mary just stared blankly at me. The iridescent glare of the glass more intoxicating than the power it used to hold. I felt terrible for it.

I'd never hear it from him but from my parents, some terrible thing he'd say online. Or just suspiscions and fears is develop on my own that made me distrust him and his intentions and his love of me. Love they neighbor, sure, but thy lesbian granddaughter? Honestly it was a relief I never had to tell him. I felt terrible for it.

Even without his influence I still was afraid. Of what I'd hear and what I'd see and what I was told I was supposed to be. To lie, to love, to hate, it was all a sin and oh what of it. Virtue is subjective I thought. I'd already be burning regardless, I thought. I felt terrible for it.

I don't know if I'm afraid of hell or not. Burning sounds painful, surely. I'm terrified of the idea of my skin scorching and breath bleeding. But would that be worse than nothing. To live out my live and to have it end abysmally. That's why I'm so scared of cremation. To burn and burn until you're nothing and never will be, a combination of both these ends. Is hell really worse than nonexistence?

Or maybe I'm too young and miserable to know anything. Maybe I feel this way because I've spent the last few years disconnecting myself from everyone around me because I thought I'd be dead sooner, also a sin.

But I'm better now. It doesn't bug me all that much honestly. I have a solid few decades of contemplating my mortality before I have to face it. And quite frankly I hardly even think about hell and religion all that often. What I don't belive in doesnt have influence on me, right?

Wether there is or isn't a god doesn't matter because if there even was I don't think he'd care about ants. Maybe enough to keep them from going in the faucet but frankly what other value do we have to a higher being. We have to fend for ourselves before hoping for someone else to help.

I can't even trust myself. Or my parents or my brother or my friends sometimes and certainly not an all powerful stranger. So, that's really just why;

I wouldn't really call myself religious.

Jess & Antonio

Jess is a 15 year old kid who is tall as heck and adorable and wears skirts and hoodies and flower crowns and knows magic and can be sarcastic sometimes, but mostly he’s really nice and awkward. They have long curly blonde hair, that they sometimes dye blue, and dark blue eyes. He has really faint freckles that become more obvious during summer. They’re non-binary and use he/him/they/them pronouns. Their father kicked him out when they were little, and he was adopted by someone else who raised him and taught him magic. He likes musicals, fashion, reading, and playing video games. He has an adopted sister named Ryana. His biological sister Jane still lives with their father and eventually gets adopted by Jess’s adopted dad later on.

Antonio is a 16 year old guy who’s a junior in high school. He has white hair (dyed) and brown eyes. He’s involved with a lot of sports (Soccer, track, wrestling and swimming) and does well in school. His favorite classes are history and English and will go on forever about whatever thing he was learning about in class that day if it interested him. He can’t use magic, but his cousin Ophelia is very skilled at it. He has no siblings. He likes reading, motorcycles, classical music and video games. He has anxiety, although he often tries to hide his symptoms from people he’s not comfortable with.

- Jess steals Antonio’s sports jackets and they fit him, although the sleeves are a bit short.

- When Antonio gets a new interest Jess listens to him talk about it even if they would have no interest otherwise (Jess knows an awful lot about random topics that otherwise he would never have known)

- when jess wanted to dye their hair blue the first time, they made a huge mess and Antonio ended up having to help them (“Babe you look like you just killed a smurf or something” “I know I messed up, just help me”)

- Jess shows up to Antonio’s games and practices even though they dont understand some of it ((They still enjoy it a lot) “touchdown!” “Wrong sport” “oh”)

- Antonio listens to musicals with Jess and watches the bootlegs and listens to Jess ramble

- Antonio can pick up Jess easily, Jess is lowkey terrified but also lowkey is like: omg my bf is so strong

- Antonio once tried to figure out how to make flower crowns without Jess to surprise them and ended up with a ton of failed flower crowns and a surprising amount of frustration (“FLOWER CROWNS SHOULDN’T BE THIS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE”) Ophelia was there, although she didn’t help, instead sometimes making sarcastic comments.

- Antonio can’t figure out math to save his life, Jess tries to help him but they don’t use the same methods as the school does and they both end up frustrated

- Antonio gets Jess a Tumblr

- Jess’s Tumblr is Gay, aesthetic, and social justice stuff and some memes. He also has a boyfriend tag where he posts pictures of Antonio (with his permission) and tags stuff Antonio would like. He tags everything and is organized

- Antonio’s tumblr is several years old and a giant mess of gay stuff, sports, and memes. Once he started dating Jess, he made a boyfriend tag as well. He also writes like love letters to jess in the tags of his posts like every night and Jess gets embarrassed but he loves it

- Jess mumbles in his sleep, Antonio likes to tease him about it (“awwwww you were talking about me” “probably cuz you keep hoarding the blankets” “rude”)

- Jess likes hugs and holding hands and cuddling, Antonio doesn’t complain (he won’t admit it but he likes it too)

- they made a playlist and it’s like. 2000’s music from their childhood, classical music, and musicals, and any other random songs they like.

- Antonio also tried learning how to braid hair and stuff, and is slowly getting better at it

- At Halloween Jess gets really into the costumes and they dress up as a couple together

- Both of them have no chill and talk about the other a lot to their friends (Antonio: “I love-”) (Everyone: “you love jess, they’re amazing and adorable, we know.”)

- Antonio gets really freaked out by thunder storms and bugs. Jess and Antonio have a lot of sleep overs, Jess calms Antonio down, if they’re not together he and Antonio text or are on call. Jess usually gets the bugs and takes them outside, he teases Antonio a little about it (“my big tough boyfriend is scared of a little cricket” “IT JUMPS AND ITS CREEPY JESS”)

- Jess likes anime and Antonio watches it with him

- Jess watches sports with Antonio

- Jess pronounces gif like Jif, Antonio pronounces it like gif. They get into arguments about it (not too serious though)

- Antonio sometimes has trouble sleeping, but not when he’s with jess

- Jess convinced Antonio to let them do his makeup (“what’s that pencil” “eye liner” “why is it a pencil” “I don’t know, I didn’t make the makeup, now sit still”)

- Antonio decides the makeup isn’t for him, but he does start painting his nails

- Jess has a love/hate relationship with horror/creepy stuff. (“I can’t sleep” “Maybe don’t watch horror videos before bed?” “….. babe”)

- Antonio loves the ocean, Jess can’t stand it, but he likes looking for shells. (Antonio got them to go in by carrying them and not letting go. Jess would only go in knee deep. Although that is deeper for Antonio than Jess)

- Antonio is 5'4 (“AND 3/4S!!”) and Jess is 5'10"

- Antonio’s birthday is in the summer, Jess’s is in late December

- Antonio loves summer and Jess can’t stand it (“It’s too hot” “it’s only like 70 degrees” “I’m literally melting” “okay”)

- Antonio hates cold, Jess loves it (“babe you’re wearing a t-shirt In below freezing weather you need to put on a jacket” “oh come on, it’s not that cold”)

- Jess puts his hair up a lot (Antonio starts to carry around hair ties for Jess)

- Jess makes 1 inappropriate joke or swears once and Antonio is shocked for like a full 24 hours afterwards

- Jess’s dad refers to Antonio as “Ant farm” especially ironic considering his fear of any and all bugs

- jess can sing, and Antonio can too although he’s not as good at it (Antonio quit chorus in freshman year) Jess makes him sing duets from musicals sometimes

- Antonio’s team mates are super supportive of them

- Jess works in his dad’s shop, and Antonio visits a lot

Gremlins

Welcome to the 'highglossfinish' room. thenightetc: What... is this Knock Out: Excellent question. BBB: ö---ö thenightetc: That sure is a necklace he has there. Knock Out: It sure does exist. Knock Out: If the humans of Toronto have to live with this, so do you. BBB: good that I dont have to hear him.... seing that is already haunting enough..... Ö_ö Knock Out: Is the sound not working? thenightetc: It's working for me. thenightetc: Ahhhh, a nice wholesome christmas movie :) BBB: it surely is, I just can't turn it on at work.... could wake up a co worker ;P Knock Out: That would require some explaining. thenightetc: ...You know, considering what happens later in the movie, I would think that nearly everyone in the city has a story a LOT like this one.  Only with less explanation. Knock Out: ...When you're right, you're right. thenightetc: oh god. BBB: nothings better than greamlins at a dead nigh shift :D thenightetc: Always Be Closing

thenightetc: a tarantula! :D thenightetc: He should have gotten that instead.  Kids love spiders Knock Out: The town probably wishes he'd gotten him the spider, too. thenightetc: Right? Knock Out: I like how his idea of responsibility is locking it up in a box and leaving it where people can see. thenightetc: Right with all the stuff that IS for sale. thenightetc: Maybe the kid should have explained the other two rules. BBB: Well the ddad is not better... buying his son a present? SURE go for the shady chines guy with the strange things XD" Knock Out: Or should lied and said "It will die if you do any of these things." thenightetc: I mean, "don't feed him after midnight" is one thing, "if you feed him after midnight he will literally turn into a chaotic evil horrobeast" is another Knock Out: *Straight up thenightetc: Yeah, but then when he DID get wet and didn't die from it, they'd have known he lied. Knock Out: At that point, what does it matter? thenightetc: They might decide to test the other rule! Starscreamapillar: What is all this then? Knock Out: True. thenightetc: ...On the other hand, I wonder if the kid didn't know the reasons for the last two rules, either. Knock Out: Gremlins! thenightetc: Guy buys his kid a pet at a dodgy store with mysterious rules surrounding it, then everything goes bad. Starscreamapillar: I see. Mysterious pet rules rarely bode well. BBB: but honestly.... tell a kid 'dont do that your pet might multiply AND/OR turn into a monster' might get things just sped up... like.... kids aint smart agoodidstraction: what did i miss thenightetc: "Keep him out of bright light; he hates it and sunlight will kill him.  And keep him away from water and don't feed him after midnight, for reasons I'm not going to tell you." thenightetc: It might have made the guy think twice about buying it in the first place, though. thenightetc: Nobody wants to buy their kid a pet that'll turn into a literal monster! Starscreamapillar: And if you cannot sell a monster to some unsuspecting sucker, then what is even the point? thenightetc: Well, the store owner told him it wasn't for sale.  It was the store owner's grandkid who, suspiciously, got it for him. thenightetc: What the *** is her problem, anyway. Starscreamapillar: I am fairly certain torturing animals to death is not legal. thenightetc: You know from the way the dog just went after her, I have to figure she's been mistreating him in some way already. Starscreamapillar: Likely. BBB: THAT TV..... Starscreamapillar: I am going to predict those swords will be used later to hack up the consequences of poor decisions. thenightetc: Honestly, after the FIRST time that happened, I'd have mounted the swords more securely agoodidstraction: what kind of ant is that thenightetc: god it's like a Furby Starscreamapillar: So it is.... thenightetc: ...Hang on.  He can talk Starscreamapillar: What horror cannot? thenightetc: And he was just being kept as a pet? Knock Out: Oh no. He was being kept in a box in the corner. agoodidstraction: can other ants talk too?? thenightetc: God no. Knock Out: There's no proving they can't. thenightetc: These are purely fictional. agoodidstraction: ants are fictional? thenightetc: These aren't ants. agoodidstraction: that looks exactly like an ant Starscreamapillar: Not enough limbs for an ant. thenightetc: Are you kidding, he looks nothing like an ant. agoodidstraction: like a sugar ant mixed with a snow ant Starscreamapillar: . . . . Knock Out: Sugar snow. Sounds edible. agoodidstraction: Yum thenightetc: That seems like more juice and pulp than one orange should have. Thebes: Hello--oh, hey, Gremlins! thenightetc: Yes! Starscreamapillar: Did he not warn the child about the weird monster in his bed? thenightetc: yikes, that looks... painful. Thebes: well somethimes fantastical creatures in movies come with only just enough warnings to make ignoring those warnings sound like no big deal thenightetc: Uh oh thenightetc: STripe. Starscreamapillar: If they breed this easily, why is Earth not over-run? agoodidstraction: uhhhhhhhhhhh thenightetc: Well, sunlight kills them. thenightetc: Cute.  Yes. thenightetc: TBH it seems like Gizmo.... knows. thenightetc: Like he's the last survivor of what happened last time, and we know there was a last time because otherwise where did the rules come from. Thebes: It's implied he's... been through this before Knock Out: Possibly many times. Starscreamapillar: Hence being locked in a box in a corner in a junk shop? thenightetc: Yes. Windchill: *That feel when you appear at precisely the right moment.* Knock Out: And he was so happy, sleeping in a proper bed and watching his little movies, daring to hope it wouldn't happen again. agoodidstraction: reminds me of school Knock Out: Something wicked this way comes. thenightetc: you didn't "invent" those, dude. Knock Out: Hello, Windchill. Thebes: also how are you going to make money on anything that multiplies with tap water thenightetc: yaaaargh agoodidstraction: ahhh Windchill: *Pocahontas wave* thenightetc: poor puppy agoodidstraction: why are humans addicted to anxiety Windchill: Ew. agoodidstraction: how do they live like that Starscreamapillar: That looks like the sludge the medics drink. BBB: its fun? caffienatedconfetti: what are we watching? thenightetc: dude no Windchill: Well. Windchill: That's disturbing. agoodidstraction: ants Starscreamapillar: Bad decisions in motion. caffienatedconfetti: no but seriously thenightetc: He's gonna regret that later. Starscreamapillar: Gremlins, I hear. caffienatedconfetti: oooooo caffienatedconfetti: no please caffienatedconfetti: no thank you caffienatedconfetti: furbies Thebes: honestly the furbies aren't that bad! Windchill: Oh no, Furbies are on a whole 'nother level. Thebes: relatively Windchill: Way worse than Gremlins. caffienatedconfetti: demons agoodidstraction: how can they be worse? agoodidstraction: these are the weirdest ants i've ever seen Starscreamapillar: I lived through the Furby craze. They didn't multiply that quickly. Windchill: Just see what happens when they run low on batteries. caffienatedconfetti: ants????? BBB: or turn on at night thenightetc: He.... drives places in a tractor? agoodidstraction: alright i'm gonna start a furby collection Starscreamapillar: It is an American tractor. caffienatedconfetti: why ants Windchill: Man. thenightetc: I don't think they're made for street speeds, though agoodidstraction: you know, small furry things Windchill: If people stood outside my house and howled like that, I'd shoot 'em. thenightetc: Now I'm picturing it caffienatedconfetti: ants dont have fur????? caffienatedconfetti: they're tiny bugs Starscreamapillar: Aah. That makes more sense. caffienatedconfetti: they're suder duper small caffienatedconfetti: and also someof them bite thenightetc: Apparently that's not true. thenightetc: ^about the suicide rate caffienatedconfetti: who told you that about ants tho agoodidstraction: i had a fire ant and she bit a lot Windchill: But it WAS super edgy to say. thenightetc: (Anyway this is a furby :) https://img00.deviantart.net/e6a1/i/2004/136/8/2/dissected_furby.jpg ) caffienatedconfetti: ....dude fire ants are smaller than a human's fingernail how did you 'have' a fire ant???? Windchill: Um. Knock Out: Liar. BBB: ouch D: Windchill: Typical. Knock Out: That needle's the size of his entire arm. agoodidstraction: don't ask me, it was anon magic. they gave me a fire ant. Windchill: You're a huge seed pod. agoodidstraction: No you thenightetc: So what does this "fire ant" look like caffienatedconfetti: you don't alk about ants in the singular agoodidstraction: I'm the one with the mohawk caffienatedconfetti: they're always in groups thenightetc: ...You've seen this before, haven't you. Starscreamapillar: Yes, who wouldn't want a box of screaming creatures in their house as pets? agoodidstraction: no agoodidstraction: he looks like me caffienatedconfetti: what' thenightetc: ...just you wait. BBB: thats SO gross BBB: every time... Windchill: That's a little too close to home. thenightetc: oh my god, they have like.  human teeth. caffienatedconfetti: ewwww caffienatedconfetti: oh lorf caffienatedconfetti: no thank you agoodidstraction: lorf Windchill: Who just leaves their sandwich just laying around overnight? Starscreamapillar: A bad scientist. agoodidstraction: I leave my sandwich just laying around overnight all the time thenightetc: Someone unconcerned with food poisoning? Windchill: A lying scientist. BBB: and someone without pets roaming around... BBB: (or roommates) agoodidstraction: ?? whoa caffienatedconfetti: those are some big doo doos Windchill: They look like poops. Starscreamapillar: . . . That never ends well. Smash those immediately. BBB: kinda reminds one of the alien movies XD" Windchill: They look like the eggs in that notoriously awful Godzilla movie. Windchill: 'Cept this film came first. caffienatedconfetti: we oughta watch alien sometime caffienatedconfetti: ripley is badass and a 10000/10 agoodidstraction: why does the phone sound haunted caffienatedconfetti: because its old thenightetc: One of their dad's inventions. thenightetc: He invents stuff that's broken and buggy. Windchill: To watch any of the Alien films is to sit through several hours of people discussing their oviposition kinks. Starscreamapillar: They have their own Que. Windchill: No thanks. agoodidstraction: what now caffienatedconfetti: ewwww Thebes: wait there's movies on the internet that don't result in people discussing their kinks? Starscreamapillar: Failed inventor who won't stop making garbage. Windchill: ...Probably not. caffienatedconfetti: starscream's throwing shade thenightetc: Accurate description agoodidstraction: hey garbage to greatness Windchill: Who's this, the Wicked Witch? thenightetc: Pretty much! Windchill: Fantastic. caffienatedconfetti: welp i have something importaant tomorrow, i'm just dropping by Windchill: Gross. agoodidstraction: see ya caffienatedconfetti: and it seems im leaving at jusr rhew right time thenightetc: Goodnight! agoodidstraction: don't let the ants bite caffienatedconfetti: goodbye Knock Out: Goodnight! thenightetc: I feel sorry for Gizmo.  He knows what's coming, but he can't communicate it to anyone who could do something about it. Starscreamapillar: Why couldn't he? He speaks. Windchill: Maybe he's just stupid? Knock Out: He's incapable of saying anything that isn't adorable. thenightetc: Yeah, but he only seems to know a few phrases.  Maybe he doesn't fully understand the language, or maybe he isn't physically able to say more words than that. Windchill: Maybe...it's for plot convenience. BBB: maybe like a parrot? Windchill: Turn on the lights you absolute madman. Starscreamapillar: I feel this man is being reckless in handling his unknown monster. Knock Out: I'm surprised he didn't rat them out when they were making a fuss for food. Knock Out: He clearly knew it was after midnight, he turned down the chicken. agoodidstraction: caca BBB: horror movie rule 2: never turn on the light, it might be a good idea... Starscreamapillar: Admittedly, they know that these things dislike the light. thenightetc: Yeah, they seem to have a sense of when midnight is and know what happens BBB: .... but when does the midnight rule end? Starscreamapillar: Surprise surprise, the black man did not survive the movie. Knock Out: Sunrise, maybe? Windchill: It's like Jurassic Park all over again. thenightetc: That would make sense, although who knows really. Windchill: 'Cept this film is older. BBB: would make sense! Thebes: probably goes from midnight to sunrise, since, you know. light kills. Windchill: Wow. thenightetc: My theory is they're some kind of fairy, and operate on fairy-tale logic. Windchill: At least she's thinking ahead, but I doubt that's gonna be enough. Thebes: listen to the distressed muppet, 80's mom! Avoid! agoodidstraction: too high for this thenightetc: At least he managed to tell her the important part first Starscreamapillar: That fist. Windchill: Someone's got the right idea. Windchill: If it were me, first thing I'd do was eat all the cookies too. agoodidstraction: what Knock Out: It's got its priorities in order. Starscreamapillar: She could have fled the house by now. They have a front door. Thebes: ... so I'm sorry in advance but--THIS WEEK, ON DOES IT BLEND agoodidstraction: oh no agoodidstraction: ahhhhhhhhhhh Windchill: She's doing a number on 'em so far. agoodidstraction: yeah two knives agoodidstraction: swish swish *** Starscreamapillar: But she is alone. All it takes is one slip up, and she is without backup. BBB: aww missed the fun part XD Windchill: I think the cookie pan shield and a knife was a better loadout. agoodidstraction: there i am Windchill: I always knew trees were bad news. thenightetc: Swords prominently in ferame thenightetc: YEP Starscreamapillar: I was right. Windchill: Wow. agoodidstraction: me Windchill: Grotesque. agoodidstraction: bye Windchill: He's gone. Windchill: You could hear the sound of his little feeties. Windchill: Vanishing into the night. Windchill: So...he went back alone? Starscreamapillar: He's stupid. Windchill: Moron. thenightetc: can hear him thinking like, "jesus christ mom" as he looks over the carnage Starscreamapillar: Walking the street with a sword, and a monster in your bag. Yes, that isn't suspicious. Starscreamapillar: No one has called the police about the corpse still in the school. Windchill: *Temptation to sing Y.M.C.A. rising.* agoodidstraction: me going for a swim thenightetc: And there's you having a million evil babies. Knock Out: If a glass of water was agonizing, I can't imagine how much that one hurts. Starscreamapillar: Apparently worth it, to spawn an army. agoodidstraction: i'm a proud daddy Knock Out: A million clones of yourself. agoodidstraction: just what i need agoodidstraction: more *** clones Windchill: Amazing. Thebes: KID, BRING PROOF Starscreamapillar: He's got a few dead ones at home he could use as evidence. thenightetc: Yeah, that's true.  He could have brought those Windchill: It's already dark in there, what the heck. agoodidstraction: yum yum Knock Out: Wheeljack hitting the town. agoodidstraction: me n my clones Windchill: Nice ride. thenightetc: I love this music, though. agoodidstraction: party Starscreamapillar: Death by failing to actually flee. Windchill: Did...they not have a back door? thenightetc: "Monsters, you say?" Starscreamapillar: "Accident" Windchill: *SNORTS* Starscreamapillar: Of course, she has cats. thenightetc: Hey!  Cats are actually great. Windchill: They better be nice to the cats. thenightetc: It's not THEIR fault she's a horrible person Windchill: What a reaction thenightetc: Wait is she saying she thinks they're literal demons, from hell thenightetc: Hhahahaha agoodidstraction: frag hahadls agoodidstraction: aaaaaaa BBB: wtf O___o Starscreamapillar: *Snrks* Windchill: Oh my god. BBB: santa!!! agoodidstraction: hahaaha Windchill: As usual, the police are useless. Starscreamapillar: Yes, leave the man to die. Thebes: to be entirely fair, pirahna-muppets are outside most people's experience agoodidstraction: wow Thebes: to the degree they probably didn't check the trunk, for instance agoodidstraction: that's a lot of dead people Starscreamapillar: A fine holiday massacre. thenightetc: "Hey!  You're not Rockin' Ricky fans!" thenightetc: oh my god thenightetc: here he goes again Windchill: Amazing. Windchill: These guys know how to party. agoodidstraction: oh yeah Starscreamapillar: Reminds me of the Nemesis, before it crashed. agoodidstraction: ha Knock Out: I wish. agoodidstraction: that's what it's like at knock out's place thenightetc: ...I wonder how they can drink beer without multiplying. Windchill: It flashed her. Windchill: Indecent. Starscreamapillar: The same way the snow isn't working? thenightetc: ...I didn't even think about the snow. thenightetc: I wonder if they're not warm enough to melt it. Knock Out: That one's Bumblebee. agoodidstraction: hahahaha BBB: pfffft Starscreamapillar: What is your Bumblebee like?! agoodidstraction: he's cute Knock Out: And chronically stressed, as of late. agoodidstraction: big optics Windchill: I'm surprised nobody's gotten shot yet. agoodidstraction: yeah BBB: aaaand finally work, have fun guys. bye agoodidstraction: see ya Starscreamapillar: Goodbye. Knock Out: Glad you could drop in! Windchill: There we go, her brain's working. thenightetc: Goodnight! agoodidstraction: were they paying? why was she serving them hahaha thenightetc: So they wouldn't attack her. agoodidstraction: tiny guns Starscreamapillar: Not so threatening when they can be defeated with a good flashlight. Knock Out: Where did they even get the tiny guns? Starscreamapillar: Tiny gun store. agoodidstraction: hahaah the whole town jvhfdlashjfkds Knock Out: Checks out. Starscreamapillar: The security on this bank is just atrocious. Windchill: *Raises brows.* Starscreamapillar: . . . . thenightetc: *wince* Knock Out: PFFTHAHAHAHA! Windchill: What kind of moron tries to climb down a chimney. Starscreamapillar: Ha! Knock Out: Gizmo's jealous because they know how to party. thenightetc: ...I wonder what "mogwai" actually means.  Is he just, like, a pokemon that keeps saying his name?  Or does it mean something. Windchill: Look at them, they're so excited. Starscreamapillar: It seems to be Cantonese for 'Monster'. Knock Out: "Monster." thenightetc: Ahhh Knock Out: Or spirit, demon, and so on. Starscreamapillar: Why do they like the movie? thenightetc: They like music. agoodidstraction: ME agoodidstraction: gotta have candy Windchill: That's any sane person's reaction to seeing "CANDY" in big neon letters. Starscreamapillar: It is traditional to explode one's problems. agoodidstraction: ^ thenightetc: Is this the time? Starscreamapillar: Bleck. agoodidstraction: wow Windchill: Heh. thenightetc: It sounded like he was trying to say something, there thenightetc: But couldn't quite pronounce it thenightetc: Wasn't it night just a few minutes ago? Knock Out: I like how his voice bears a striking resemblance to Megatron's. Starscreamapillar: Indeed. agoodidstraction: yep Windchill: Is that a  Barbie car. Windchill: *Snickers.* Windchill: Me. Starscreamapillar: Yes, those department store guns. Starscreamapillar: Loaded department store guns. agoodidstraction: glug glug Windchill: Ugh. Thebes: snow shovels DO NOT WORK THAT WAY agoodidstraction: oh agoodidstraction: uhh agoodidstraction: ouch thenightetc: It's you! agoodidstraction: me when soundwave takes my soul Windchill: *Snickers.* Windchill: *Again.* thenightetc: Uhhhh, kid.... Windchill: Leaping Skeleton? agoodidstraction: primus Windchill: Called it. Starscreamapillar: Well, that looked painful. thenightetc: Maybe they're undead. thenightetc: Yes.  Mass hysteria. Starscreamapillar: 'Accidents'. There's a fair number of dead people that need to be accounted for. thenightetc: That explains all the monster corpses. Knock Out: "Moolah!" thenightetc: Ha! Thebes: because clearly, this is the big problem thenightetc: that's not a gift Windchill: "Nature's gifts." Starscreamapillar: He's not really wrong. Thebes: HEY MAYBE IF YOU EXPLAINED WHY NOT TO DO THOSE THINGS, LESS PEOPLE WOULD BE DEAD agoodidstraction: aw Knock Out: I like how he calls the old man "Baba." Starscreamapillar: Sorry does not raise the dead. thenightetc: Pfffffff thenightetc: Or rebuild everything they destroyed. Starscreamapillar: Matrix dust, now that is what raises the dead. thenightetc: "...Well, it's probably my fault" Windchill: I thought that was Dark Energon. Windchill: And Mad Science. Starscreamapillar: I wouldn't know, we do not have Dark Energon... Yet. thenightetc: How ominous? Windchill: There was a sequel. Thebes: Someone attempted to market them again. Violence ensued Knock Out: It's not terrible. We'll have to watch that one someday. agoodidstraction: please agoodidstraction: night everyone Knock Out: Goodnight, everyone. Thank you all for coming! thenightetc: Goodnight! Starscreamapillar: As always, that was weird, but enjoyable. Thank you for having us. thenightetc: Thank you for hosting!  This movie's a good time. Knock Out: My pleasure. Thebes: thank you! Windchill: *Another wave.*
