#there are so many kinds of ants

truly cannot overstate how important it is for everyone to do research into local insect species and just try to notice them when you go outside. there are beautiful metallic blue mud dauber wasps where i live and they’re common in the summer but i just never noticed them until this past year. there are so many dragonflies at the local park. in one walk this june i found ebony jewelwing damselflies and an enormous stinkbug and an emerald-coloured tiger beetle and there is honest to god so much beauty in the insect world if you are willing to look for it
#speaky girl#bugs#insects#bugblr#even 'common' insects!#there are these BRIGHT RED flies at the park#there are so many kinds of ants#sweat bees exist and they're metallic green#idk. look at bugs#this has been a psa

ding dong~~ trick or treat! (it's jung, but with vampire fangs! mua ha ha ha)
hello vampire jung i hope u r well fed welcome into my house help urself to anything u want <3
trick or treat
my newest fic idea is like... epistolary style full of transcripts + social media stuff... lando and oscar get married and don't tell anyone . they just show up after summer break w wedding bands. somehow nobody connects the dots despite them saying all sorts of hilarious stuff in interviews. but then it spirals out bc george notices lando using the word partner rather aggressively . and is like oh my god he's gay (has no idea it's oscar) and decides to be a Very Supportive Friend. overhears oscar also using the word partner and is like. aha! solidarity! what a good idea! (looks up an article that's like 'here's why straight people should use the term partner' . to make sure he's not overstepping) except this results in such extreme hijinks. the tumblr girlies (gn) think alex is abt to come out bc of how aggressively lando and george have gotten abt being #allies. the rest of the paddock is getting progressively more and more confused; the aggressive allyship is spreading bc everyone's assuming it's being done to support someone else. the theories go crazy. like. esteban thinks flavio briatore is the gay one. entire paddock side eyeing each other like are YOU the gay one meanwhile lando and george r having a deeply unsubtle (deeply convoluted) support-off.
nobody even comes close to guessing lando and oscar are married. which drives lando a bit nuts.
lots of social media reactions (think like, screenshot of a tumblr post that's like 'dude landoscar both showed up to the paddock w wedding bands like... ive_connected_the_dots.gif' tweeted w the caption like 'tumblr is fucking insane'. theories abound. instagram posts w key reveals etc etc) and like interview/media transcripts (everybody and their mother fucking with the media a little bit.) and regular prose convos where everyone is losing their mind. literally just silly goofy low stakes stuff
#ask#lando just thinks george's 'allyship' is him being gay. so HE ups the ante to show HIS support. and suddenly there's a whole standoff#also the 2019 rookies r all bisexual . george is the last to know abt all that#homophobia is not real . or at least does not have That Many Major Consequences. in this. but heteronormativity is very real and very funny#there's no real plot it's more like. how funny can this get. what kind of comedy of errors can we cause

sometimes I feel like I can't relate to most Gon fans at all not because I don't love Gon, but because the aspects I love the most about Gon (his grey morality) are exactly the things they often wish would be de-emphasized on his characterization?
#i see so many posts complaining about ppl who focus on gon's “dark” side#because he actually IS a lovely boy etc#but#the reason why he's such an exceptional protagonist is exactly the fact that he managed to BE the typical sunshine male protag#And then managed to completely DECONSTRUCT that trope#as a friend said in his 1st watch#the chimers ants arc made him fear the protagonist and cry for the villain#and that is EXCELLENT writing#if gon was just sunny and sweet and kind i would not care#sorry#hxh#hxh thoughts

so i’ve currently read up to 5.1 of worm and my impression so far is that this is what bnha fans wish bnha was
#edit apparently there’s some kind of worm bnha drama idfk so i’m turning off reblogs.#worm#in terms of worldbuilding specifically. and the fact that so many people like villain deku#taylor is a fun character so far i love that she’s really smart and also really fifteen#can’t wait to be insane about her i’m not yet but i’m taking y’all’s word for it#in my brain she looks kind of like that really cute ant girl in hxh with the huge eyes#i’ve heard about the ‘all the girls are straight’ thing (L) so can we all have a moment of silence over rachel not getting to be a lesbian#i like those other girls. ummm glory girl and panacea idr their real names. interesting as fuck characters#there are also men in this story but i don’t rlly care about that rn#/silly#frogs.txt

#connor mcdavid#leon draisaitl#.... i don't know what to Do with this#connor looking woeful and exhausted. connor on leon's leash. the weird haunted vibes of this 2ft by 40ft stretch of astroturf.#the boom mic + the large tiles combo making them look like ants in a farm. but they're wearing too many logos for it to be an ad#1. i hope leon being in town means connor's getting married this weekend 2. please tell me this is the epilogue bit of nhl!drive-to-survive#.... 3. truly something about the sanitized white + visible mic + body shots + resistance bands is giving some kind of shoot#connor and leon have a clothed conversation for the last 5 minutes of the video the way they always make the girls do#so we all feel better about watching him get railed with a [message redacted]

moons revenge
(also bonus concept things just cuz i was messing around)
#i love to bully pebs he deserves it heart.#also as for the concepts. idk i was thinking its kind of weird that eggbugs are solitary?? but carry eggs on their BACKS.#so i kind of think maybe theyre hive insects but the ones in-game are like. carrying eggs of a queen? to start a new hive.#which got me thinking about how many insects females are larger (and in hives females are the defenders)#and how bees and ants use pheremones to figure out whos an intruder. so#hive region where slugcat has to do STEALTH MISSION by hiding under pupas to disguise slug scent ??#its just me doing a little speculation i have no idea if this has been done before or anything. i just like thinking :)#rainworld#rain world#soeepy#rain world fanart#rainworld fanart

BWAH tysm i'm deffo a mr fear kind of guy but it's really so fun :heart_hands emojis: so i'm happy to engage. if i can ask you some questions. ONE what's the outline idea for your funger au and TWO who's your favorite character from og funger. and least fave maybe :] yes
ILL ANSWER 2 FIRST cause it’s easier. My favorite in general is probably Cahara … wonderful bisexual wife guy. I am a terrible no good sucker for found family. Him and the girl make me want to throw up and die. Least favorite, other than Legarde, PROBABLY VALTIEL? Dude he just pisses me off hes such a little asshole. Not even prevalent enough for everyone to know about him either … just get smarter freak. Fellowship would’ve done numbers without you being the strange cisman Incel of the group…
FIRST ONE. OKAY. Outline is really really rough but, it happens BEFORE the current termina festival that you are seeing in game. So while things are still ‘set up’ where in game events or npcs would be around but not to the point where you would get the same endings… Like the ending with Relia ( Olivia’s Sister ) isn’t able to happen because Olivia is not there to trigger that event nor has Relia and her Team gotten to Prehevil ! This also means it’s before the Kaiser ( Legarde / Yellow King ) gets his hands on it completely, so most normal things about the festival are in full swing. Same starting event happens where they are on the train when it stops & they are unable to start it again … I am not entirely sure who I will focus on story wise first, but I have a lot of rough ideas for most of them. Some of the characters ( dsmp ones ) I have turned into Enemies with their likeness :-] some are just beasts and others are more coherent individuals just gone crazy by Rher. For example I am including DreamTeam but they got there a day before the rest of the party, and moonscorching effects already take over them just because the lot of them are susceptible to such …. So the rest of them would run into those three early on and only figure out later that THOSE WERE ACTUAL GUYS!!!! NOT JUST BIG SCARY BEASTS!
ENDING WISEEEE I want to try and do something with the egg & sulfur cultists for a general one … I think it would be interesting to play around with considering Rhers effects branch out like a living creature. Obviously all the B endings as well, which is just where the ‘main’ person survives and the rest of them it is either ambiguous or you kill them. If I have the brain power too I think I could definitely replace like. Relias story line to have something to do with Connor & Karl regarding DreamXD …. I will have to think on it more though. It would be hard to incorporate new gods into the already muddy storyline. Phil needs to be there too or I’m gonna lose my mind ( I like drawing him. )
#tracksask#fungerism#if anyone wants to ask about anyone in specific… feel free…#Also I ended up changing Ant from a contestant to a cultist and bringing Purpled in instead#Just for conflict cause he’s weird and stand offish.#I might talk about their soul types later too and how it plays out with their characters :-]#I used their real birthdays for that but TBH IT KIND OF FITS. IM NOT MAD.#So many of them born in august though holy fuck! Chill with it.#I can post their Occupancy and such after this too 👍 HURRAY

#I'm only posting this bc watching them being all soft and having fun and ant making dec laugh while thinking about dec saying#'we made friends when we were 13 but we're obviously ...... not the same people now ...... it's taken work'#makes me very emotional!!!#it's a kind of ominous sounding quote but it's not it's just real#the miracle of it is they've worked on it and it's WORKED#there aren't many people a partnership of that many years has worked out for#with neither of them having their own (public) creative outlet? I think it's only them. ever#they've loved each other for so long and they've worked on their friendship and working relationship & they love each other more through it#I find it very moving!!!#............#they're on instagram

A reference sheet?? by me??? unbelievable
Anyways new oc, an eldritch being who was summoned by a cult worshipping Them into a stuffed doll. Currently lives in their basement researching human culture (playing video games and eating snacks) and observing the humans around it. Chill and easygoing, but is allegedly working hard on its thesis for whatever university equivalent its species has.
#oc#original character#my art#artists on tumblr#digital art#digital drawing#basically the idea behind it was. people often compare the way eldritch gods and stuff see humanity to us being like ants for them#and like being a biology student myself. there are people very much highly passionate about ants and their behaviour#so like imagine a passionate entomologist getting summoned by a bunch of ants into an ant body#where they could firsthand observe ant society. many would be very enthused#bean is a bit lazy though. the thesis is Going... but well. a hundred years for an ant is like a couple days for one of its kind. its in no#its in no hurry

the chimera ant arc to me feels like gon and killua are on evil summer break
#I’ve had time to think about it and it’s fully clicked that the chimera ant arc is about neglect and the consequences there of#more at 11#every other arc of the show they have some kind of authority figure that is there to guide and teach them#and at first in the chimera ant arc it appears like that is going to be kite!#but then kite is very suddenly gone and they are unmoored#and even though they are constantly surrounded by adults none of them ever fill that role#not even bisky who was their past teacher and is even there to give them more training!#bisky alienated herself from them! she turns herself into someone they CANT come to with a problem#gon and killua are on summer break and none of the many adults around them can afford to pay attention to them#so they’re just loose!#they can’t help each other and they can’t get help from anyone else either#and the consequences of that are catastrophic#and don’t even get me started on how the ants are similarly neglected and that’s why there like that for most of the season#hxh#hxh spoilers

ive never had engagement to this extent on my art cross platform between tumblr And twitter before... it's so surreal to me. thank you all for the kind words!!!
#i'm almost tempted to plug my main LOL#<- won't. because i'm shy.#i'm a tumblr native at heart so posting on twitter is very new to me but i see why artists might prefer it over tumblr now#it feels more... visible?#as opposed to here where it feels more like i'm allowed to exist within my own bubble...#i much prefer tumblr for talking/rambling... i love talking in tags..#also i realize now ive been spoiled by tumblr's lack of automatic crop. fighting for my life over on twt trying to get those images to work#i feel like i can't. touch too many things on twitter. or talk too much. because something will break.#i also feel way too highly visible there like an ant being hit with a beam of sun through a magnified glass#i usually take to making a side account like this whenever i get a particularly lethal interest to wait until it naturally dies down#but it's normally a very lowkey affair. i never get notes like this! even on main!#so thank you all once again for the kindness..

#I feel. like I get too worried about putting my stuff in the tags LOL#or just too worried about ants in general#but to be fair I've come from some really infested fandoms#where people got reported for this stuff so hard they were removed from the site#idk if tumblr changed it though. maybe they did. where if someone hit a certain number of reports on their account they got removed#whether they were breaking TOS or not#I think that could have been changed because I don't see it happen anymore#but the more I cared about this tumblr acc the more scared of that I got LOL#it's been super peaceful though???#this could just be because I blocked like half the fandom before posting anything here#but I haven't received any hate mail & haven't had any sort of callout like I was expecting#and I guess mallesil isn't really SUPER controversial#it's leaning off the gray area lately but it is still in the gray area#I just feel like I'm cheating with how easy it is to ''get away'' with having HEY I LIKE INCEST front and center on my pinned and all#when I've seen someone get reported off the map for making one singular post saying they don't mind people who ship child characters#and I've just gotten away with posting sooo many mallesil posts in the main tags lately I'm like huh??? Did I ever actually need to worry?#it's kind of embarrassing I guess having several things in my Posts That Do Not Go Into The Main Tags#that I'm just now realizing were probably totally fine to put out there lol#like damn maybe I can just talk about lilia kissing silver with tongue and get away with it????#anyway#while I am on the subject of things I am embarrassed about for no reason#I feel especially bad lately for not posting like ANYTHING about sebek or lilia most of the time lol#I made a point to draw all the twst characters at least once a while ago but I don't think I've actually drawn sebek more than that?#sorry sebek I love you sebek :(#sebesil is such a good ship and I just have absolutely zero passion for it I DON'T KNOW!!! It just isn't there for me!!!#I like it a lot I love all the ship art for it I like seeing it pop up in fics#but if you leave me to my own devices I'm. not going to think about them even a little probably lol...#I do think about mallesebe sometimes though. I wrote about them once for the request. they're so fun they're so awful#and yet. most of the thoughts I have for mallesebe I'm just like hrmmmm this could be mallesil instead#sorry again sebek I love you sebek 😭

saw a HUGE ant on my leg and threw my phone across the room trying to get it off 😭😭
#normally i do not react this way to bugs#but i do NOT fuck around with ants#i’ve been sent to the er too many times after a fire ant bite. i’m so allergic to those things#idk if it extends to other kinds of ants but i don’t want to find out!

i know it's been a while since the posts, but i'd like to say i love your cotl headcanon about sozo not being an ant. are you okay with others adopting the headcanon too, or would you prefer they don't?
Thank youu! And don't worry, even if they're old posts I'm still quite into CotL atm!
And you can absolutely go ahead and adopt it! I think I don't even have any right to gatekeep such an headcanon since I did see quite a few people with their own spider/tarantula!Sozo (I especially remember a black widow one). Plus headcanons are more fun when they spread around the fandom and others have their own go at them-! ^^
#the cloud can speak oh boi#ask box#tw bug mention#tw spider mention#also the more fun part about headcanoning Sozo as not an ant is coming up with ways to justify the way his body looks ingame#especially his lack of extra eyes and limbs- and there are so many possibilities for it!#It's a very malleable headcanon ahah#oh and there are so many possibilities for the kind of spider or bug he could be too!#there are so many parasite fungi- I think no arthropod is safe (fortunately for artists- unfortunately for them)
