#seriously there are so many spiders

[witchy-aster]

My mom: there is so many spiders and cobwebs around the house, I wonder why?

Me, who is worshipping Loki without her knowing: Yeah... it's such a mystery.

Me, later in front of Loki's alter: tone it down, tone it down, they are cluing in on us.

Loki: *shrugs*

Me: what's that supposed to mean????

Austin and Denton from 170: A Bug’s Wife… Will Eat His Head! Kind of a random one but this episode is among my favourites. I love a story about parent-child relationships. And I loved these 2 bug best friends <3

I’m so glad I watched Arcane because I got like 3 posts that were full of gifs of Caitlyn and Vi kissing on my dash in a row and if I hadn’t just watched it I would’ve gotten spoiled lmao

the moment in Spider-Man PS4 where Peter was like at fully rock bottom — homeless, basically unemployed, and if you kept track of the games timeline, he hasn't slept in literal days — and then he gets beat the fuck up by the sinister six and his mentor betrays him and the moment he regains consciousness he immediately puts the suit back on he runs away. And then Yuri calls him and is like r u insane you have FOURTEEN BROKEN BONES and he sounds SO exhausted when he replies with a light-hearted quip about having a hundred and something non broken ones .... just .... yeah.... shit hit me.

(and then things just get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and —)

what's your favorite species of:

spider

wasp

butterfly

moth

beetle

(bonus points if u include pics for each one)

AHHH AHH AHH OK OK!! This ask actually made me so excited I couldn’t even think about responding for a few moments cause I was stimming so hard. Oh my god. Ok. Wow this is a tough question.

Starting with spiders!!! Ok I KNOW there’s a lot of super cool/crazy/smart/venomous/absolutely buckwild species out there but my favorite is purely sentimental. It’s Tigrosa Georgicola. I see them everywhere where I live and they’re one of the first species I ever picked up. My phone screen is literally a photo of me holding one.

I’ve got a soft spot for wolf spiders anyways cause they purr and carry their babies on their backs and are just so gorgeous and big and amazing but this one especially is so good. One of the most docile species of spider I’ve handled, and their orange banding against their dark brown bodies is just so gorgeous. They’re literally tortoiseshell, what more could you want? And they get SO BIG it’s always such a delight finding one of these guys I love them so much

Next up wasp. Oh man big question. Lots and lots of good options and I am SO fond of paper wasps and mud daubers but I think if I had to pick a favorite it would be Auplopus carbonarius. They’re an absolutely TINY species of spider wasp that I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting once. Adults only get about 3/8” long. They also make little barrels to store food in!! And are great recyclers with their nests, they often take over old beetle burrows!! That’s so cool they’re like little home renovators. Here’s a pic of me holding one

Alright onto butterfly. This one’s a little harder since I’m not super into butterflies, but man there’s still definitely some really cool ones.

My favorite has gotta be Hamadryas feronia, aka the variable cracker. That entire genus is fucking gorgeous though, so shout out to some of the other species like the red cracker, ringless blue cracker, grey cracker, and the velutina cracker. Seriously just look up cracker butterflies. They’re all gorgeous. They also make a really cool cracking noise!! Look it up!!

Ok ok next! favorite moth. This is a REAL close toss-up between clearwing hummingbird moths and buff-tip moths. Vampire moths were also high up on the list, but I think buff-tip moths have to win. Phalera bucephala to be more specific. They’re just so delightful. Their camouflage is SO GOOD they really do look like such perfect little broken pieces of branch. It’s endlessly endearing. AND their caterpillars are such a pretty yellow color. Everything about these guys just makes me smile

Next is beetle!!! Ok I’m a basic bitch on this one sorry, but trilobite beetles have won my heart. I don’t have a specific favorite species within the genus, they’re all just amazing. It’s also really funny to me how big the difference is between males and females. The females retain their larval form as adults, which is already cool enough for any species, but it’s especially wild seeing how these guys’ larval form looks. There’s nothing about these guys that isn’t amazing to me

Wait, they're making another one? Oh-kaaayyyy... Not holding my breath, but hopefully it's at least better than the $h!tshow that was the second movie. (Even if that "version" of Silver is still there.) If it's any consolation, I don't know how much Sega is involved with the Sonic movies, but if it's a good bit, then maybe they can help out! At the very least, there's this amazing comment under the reveal teaser. (GOLDEN ISLAND MENTIONED)

thinking about Hobie and Gwen (minor spoilers)

I keep thinking about how Gwen Stacy is a punk rock legend in Hobie's universe, to the point where Hobie refers to her as "the greatest artist of our generation"

So I'm imagining Spiderverse Gwen meeting Hobie for the first time

I'm imagining when he learned that she ran away from her father, who tried to arrest her.

I'm imagining him taking her in, without question

I'm imagining when she mentions she's a drummer in her universe

I'm imagining the first time Hobie hears Gwen play, and he just smiles

I'm imagining Hobie calls her "my drummer" all the time, affectionately (this one's just canon)

I'm imagining how Spider-Gwen reminds Hobie of his universe's Gwen

[uwudonoodle]

I just watched this last night, and honestly, I could watch it again within the week. Miles and Gwen are both such good characters on their own, and they're really sweet together.

Don't Scream Ep 2: DON'T LOOK

In part 2 of the Don't Scream saga, Karen finds the farmhouse and... nothing else! M, however, finds a cult of mannequins twerkin' it. This game truly is a little wild.

See all our available episodes and listen to episodes and teasers for our podcast Why Would You Ask That over on YouTube!

Took some pictures of this big momma spider with babies all over her back, but I made the mistake of zooming in and seeing all those little legs, so instead of having to look at that again, here’s my cat Oreo:

[crows-murder]

tried to kill a spider three times before it finally stuck. I will now make myself tea and cry :)

[seeminglysiren]

Saw across the spider verse and now my soul is cleansed and my skin is clear

[mariana-oconnor]

Went on the githyanki creche quest.

That was a mistake.

When you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this ask to 10 of your followers. (not forced, but positivity is cool <3 <3)

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck okay

1. I’m really proud of how my art journey is coming along. I feel like it’s been pretty slow but just looking at some of the things I made before I started college compared to what I’ve made now that I’ve been out for over a year I can really see the progress!

2. I like my hair (I fucking better cause holy shit has it gotten so long mf out here becoming a real life Rapunzel)

3. I like my taste in music - it wasn’t just a phase, mom! It’s been 10 years and I’m still listening to MCR. Also weirdly music from the 60s lol

4. I like the weird little sounds I make I guess??? Idk these are hard. When I get startled (which is way too often) or laugh I keep end up making these weird little bird squawk types noises lol. I hated them for so long but one of my best friends (who has dubbed them my [insert real name] noises) thinks they’re so funny they’re making a legit sound board out of them 😂

5. And finally I like how fucking BRAVE I’ve been this past week and a half! I killed a spider yesterday by myself and only cried a little bit! Progress! /j but seriously I actually managed to handle it by myself and despite being a fully grown adult who SHOULD be able to handle a bug, this is difficult for me lol

Why was this so hard lol this took me too long to come up with

Queen Frog has become a regular and beloved fixture in my evening garden. She’s beautiful and I would die for her 🐸👑

i dont want to start anything but @castlecrypttt has had the same familiar for 20 years and i dont think she ever intends to turn it...

🧛‍♀️ castlecrypttt Follow

"i dont want to start anything" then why did you @ me you braindead fuck?? willie has been with my family for so long because its his choice. he doesnt even want to be a vampire he enjoys being a familiar. and we take care of him, we give him as many flies and spiders and rats as his little heart desires. all you snobbish vampires who look down on having familiars dont seem to realize that its not a one way relationship. he helps us with our vampire needs and in return we protect him and give him lives. he's going to live far longer than whatever his normal human lifespan wouldve been, 20 years is nothing. and hes part of the family. keep out of our business you clearly dont understand

🩸 bloody-bloody-marie Follow

oh my g*d i cant believe there are still vampires on this site defending keeping familiars.

🧛‍♂️ fresh-blood Follow

genuine question, whats wrong with having a familiar?

🩸 bloody-bloody-marie Follow

are you seriously asking me about the ethics of keeping an enthralled servant that you force into doing your bidding...

🦇 fagnsfangs Follow

op here, i think youre seriously misunderstanding the concept of familiars. a lot of humans would love to have the opportunity to become vampires in exchange for a few years of servitude. the issue lies in when the familiar is promised vampirism and yet never gets it. and no, vampires shouldnt be using thralls to get their familiar to do its job.

🕷 blood-is-the-life Follow

familiar here, and no. i dont really care about becoming a vampire. that was never in the deal i had with my master. but yeah, do agree thralls shouldnt be used unless the familiar is okay with it

🧛‍♂️ vampire-guy-steve Follow

if you dont want to become a vampire then whats the point of being a familiar?

🕷 blood-is-the-life Follow

well for me its a sex thing.
