Some very, VERY old blueprints of mine. Thought I'd put them here for posterity's sake. Such pleasant memories.

T/Amitheasshole for accidentally killing a spiders dad?
Hello! So to start off, I was sent on a mission to retrieve a crystal from a spider cave that held fortunes, but my partner in crime warned me to not do the mission due to how dangerous it was, and the risks, me being the fool I am, I completely ignored his warning! I mean that guy couldn’t even handle a butterfly! And plus I couldn’t let the team down.
Now on to the main story, yadda. Here’s where I realized I fucked up, so during venturing, I reached the cave with the fortunes, but there was a problem: the big dad spider was there with his children, which I counted as 18 of them! So I decided to just tiptoe to the treasure and slowly get it out, but one of the little spiders woke up, and he didn’t look harmless.
OH FUCK MY LIFE!! turns out that spider sends a signal to the other spiders, and now I had to fight off 18 baby spiders. One came flying at me, and my fight-or-flight mode just turned on (I choose fight), and before I knew it, I accidentally… yeah, based on the title.
The spider dad woke up standing at his full height, which was 12’5. I can’t tell, but he was definitely huge, expecting to see his babies with a smile on his face until he saw the carnage that a mere human, myself, did, and he just looked at me and then back at the carnage. I apologized frantically, but he wasn’t listening, maybe because he couldn’t understand, but he started to cry, and it sounded so human-like...?
I didn’t know what to do, so I slowly took the treasure and tried to exit out of the cave, but before I knew it, he was after me! A big-ass 12’5 spider was rushing towards me and damaged his own cave due to his rage and even ended up tripping me on my feet (I HAVE BAD KNEE PROBLEMS, SO THANKS, ASSHOLE). and now I’m in a. Deep dark area hiding from him, so I’m asking you three for your guys opinion.
-A.S
"I'm going to say you are most certainly the asshole in this situation. Disturbing and, in this case, killing wildlife for no reason other than to further your own greed is far from acceptable. These spiders seemed non invasive and were not a threat to anyone who wasn't actively engaging with them. Additionally, spiders are great at pest control because they eat all sorts of bugs that destroy plants and spread disease. Larger spiders, such as these, often eat birds, smaller mammals and rodents, and have even been reported to eat deer. Spiders of all sizes are integral to keeping the balance of predator and prey in an ecosystem for it to thrive. You may now be slightly richer, but know that you have fallen into a capitalistic trap that will only take more from you than you could ever earn. In short, YTA." - Valerie
“First of all, I’m very, very interested to know where these giant spiders are located, for research purposes of course. With regards to your question, well, you did technically break into their nest and tried to steal from them and then committed murder when you were caught, so I think it’s pretty clear YTA. But you signed up for freelance adventuring, didn’t you? If you were worried about being an asshole, you’d listen to your team… How about a deal? I can come retrieve you, just let me know where you are. As for payment, well… how about a crystal of sorts?” - Lucien
"NTA. As they say nowadays, fuck them kids." - Niles

Lucien’s quite a bit late to Tumblr compared to Cara. Dunno why I did that.
Anyways, meet Lucien Amadeus Blanche, supervillain and mad scientist! Master of poisons and antidotes, as well as the controller of a large hivemind of mechanical spiders. He’s also the arch enemy of that rat bastard Niles over on @undeadbard ‘s place.

A Comprehensive Guide To My Rat Hierarchy
Greetings and salutations!
Strap in and get comfy. You're all about to receive a detailed, informative, and fascinating lecture on the details of my rat creations. Let's begin.
My rats are organized in a hierarchy, based (loosely) off of a system of monarchy. The progression goes as follows:
The Commonality
The Gentry
The Cavaliers
The Vassals and
The Knave.
They are not organized by importance, but rather by size, ability, and threat level.
Below is a diagram illustrating examples of each tier of the Hierarchy (save for the Knave, but we'll get to him later):
Now, let's take a closer look, shall we?
First, of course, shall be:
The Commonality
These little darlings are primarily lab assistants, but they're also built for surveillance and the relaying of messages.
Their mechanical eyes are capable of capturing photographs and video footage, and then projecting the images holographically - perfect for delivering asynchronous villainous monologues!
The Commonality are also very fast and agile, able to climb up and burrow through just about any material, from metal to solid rock. They can be quite the stealthy little fellows!
Next, let's take a look at:
The Gentry
The Gentry are built for low-risk combat, but when deployed in packs, they can pack quite a wallop! Their teeth and claws can deliver a considerable amount of damage on their own, but what really sets the Gentry apart is their ability to wield electricity.
The Gentry have artificial nervous systems consisting of live wiring, which carries an electrical current through their bodies - note the electrodes in the ears and tail. However, what you don't see upon first glance is the electrical generator hidden within the jaws of the Gentry. Upon opening its mouth, a Gentry can release a powerful surge of lightning, much like the breath weapon of a dragon!
And aren't they just adorable?!
Onwards and upwards, we have:
The Cavaliers
These beautiful specimens are especially skilled at hunting and tracking, built with heightened senses of sight, smell, and hearing, as well as the ability to see in infrared waves. In other words, there's no use hiding.
The Cavaliers are also built for speed - those long, slender limbs allow them to gallop at speeds matching those of Acinonyx jubatus! What's more, they're the perfect size to be mounted, making them excellent for a quick and theatrical getaway.
Now, here's something especially interesting. The Cavaliers are always deployed in pairs. Specific pairs. Each Cavalier has a companion, with which they are psychically linked. They can sense each other's every move and thought - the ultimate hunting partners! Additionally, if one Cavalier in a pair is incapacitated or seriously injured in combat, the other receives a surge of power as a defense mechanism.
Moving right along, we reach:
The Vassals
Positively petrifying, aren't they?!
These magnificent beasts are easily my most formidable creations yet. If their cleaver-like tails don't get you, their claws and teeth certainly will!
When developing the Vassals, I began using a mutation serum of my own concoction, which came with a few unexpected (but welcome!) side effects. Firstly, due to the monstrous origin of several of the serum's ingredients, the Vassals are the only tier of the hierarchy that require sustenance. And let me tell you, they have got some impressive appetites! A Vassal is capable of digesting just about anything, organic and inorganic - but they especially like any variety of fresh meat. This has been quite the asset, actually - if I need someone to disappear, the Vassals are on the job!
Secondly, you may notice the viscous, black fluid weeping from their faces. This is entirely normal, I assure you - just another aspect of the serum's mutation. The Vassals are constantly exuding a highly acidic and toxic excretion - don't worry, it doesn't bother them in the slightest. You, however...let's just say you don't want to be anywhere near the stuff.
Finally, the mutation serum also allows the Vassals to heal from injuries at a remarkably accelerated rate, making them even harder to take down! This also allows a Vassal to open its jaws to an unnaturally wide extent, hence the scar tissue around the mouth. I rather like the look of it - look at those friendly smiles!
Last, but certainly not least, we move on to:
The Knave
Knavey here is my primary method of transportation. He's just a tad larger a school bus, making him ideal for transporting myself and an assortment of the rats for missions of all sorts!
Knavey's been fitted with claw-like appendages on both of his tails, as well as on the end of his "tongue", for lack of a better term. Said "tongue" is entirely prehensile, and can extend to nearly three-quarters of Knavey's body length. As such, Knavey is excellent for retrieving heavy cargo, and for capturing live cargo!
And, with that, my hierarchy draws to a close.
Thanks ever so much for reading - I do hope you all found this informative! I certainly had fun writing it.
Ta-ta for now!
