Pretend to be what you will, but under the light of the full moon, there's no more room for playing at civility (you are a monster, and you cannot control your nature)

[sorribu]

oh yeah heres weevil again

[kitkatcadillac]

a small but significant part of being in canada being Really Really Cool has been me seeing bugs that ive Never Seen Before and getting Really Excited About Them in a way that i thought i had lost completely, but it turns out i was just living in a city that bug bombed for like a decade and never really saw any bugs that werent cockroaches or cicadas

[sweetronancer]

percy, important question:

if you could have any bug be a rideable mount, which bug would you choose?

As a kid of like 7 in 2007 I played a lot of a website called Bin Weevils because it was big at my school. It was like club penguin if it was about disgusting bugs living in a pile of trash. And my best friend at the time, who told me abt the site, told me that "everyone was making their usernames foly and then a number." And they were like, foly19. So I made myself foly27. I hated the username. I used it the entire time I played that game. And btw nobody else was called foly.

@asfarion submitted: cool and funky dude found in rethymno, crete back in may!! they had unfortunately passed away, but were still very pretty. any idea what they might be? they look quite weevil-ish. love your blog btw!!! ☆

Thank you! Definitely a weevil, specifically a red palm weevil which is non-native in Crete. Still...RIP, friend.

[weevilsdaily]

can you post the menecleonus virgatus pls? i dont have a picture but im obsessed with them, thank you very much<3

heck yeah i can! this fella is from Pakistan and from what i can see has no common name so i suggest we call him the bandit weevil cause of his cool mask

The giraffe weevil is my beloved.

(The giraffe weevil is the red and black one with an elbow shaped neck)

people have probably already seen this, but...weevils are pretty cool.

Name: Traffikrab

Debut: Cassette Beasts

Cassette Beasts is a game where one of the most common battle monsters around is a traffic-themed hermit crab creature! Isn't that wonderful? The traffic cone is not actually part of its body, but it fits oh so well, considering its traffic light-like face! I think the light is its eye, but it is possible that its angry eyebrows are actually eyestalks. Either way is good!

Another wonderful thing about Traffikrab and friends is that they are Plastic type! This game has most of the classic elemental types, along with a few fun surprises like Plastic, which probably has my favorite creatures overall. I love when fictional creatures have very artificial/created vibes! It's like these things are robots but also not at the same time!

Traffikrab can be remastered (equivalent of evolution) into a few different options...

Lobstacle is the defensive choice, and has the best name of the line! This crustacean wants to be in the way, and is good at it. It wears a construction barrel rather than a cone, and I don't think I've ever really seen construction barrels given a media spotlight, so that is very cool! Its antennae/eyebrows are now striped with caution colors with a big ol "no" sign in the middle. This is the logical extreme of a traffic hermit crab! But not the end of the concept's creativity!

Weevilite is the result of a Traffikrab remastering to a ranged attack-focused form instead, and it is my personal favorite of the two options! The traffic cone seems to have transformed into a more proper abdomen, and the focus is now on its traffic light head and neck, which is so cool! From the name and the long neck, you may recognize this as being inspired by a giraffe weevil, yet another thing I don't think I've ever seen as a monster design basis. If the light was its eye, it now has a second eye, right under the first. When people record video with their phone vertically, they're not doing it for fellow humans. They're doing it to show Weevilite!

Finally we have the most special crab of all in this game! Not a Traffikrab, but Magikrab, who inhabits a wizard's hat and has a purple eye that perhaps evokes a crystal ball! Traffic cones and wizard hats are similar things, really. Once I saw an fire hydrant gushing water, with a traffic cone on top of it. You better believe I immediately recognized it as a metal wizard casting a Water Blast Spell!

Magikrab appears throughout the game as a friendly NPC, who can talk, and is very polite and enthusiastic! It is always very happy to open up train stations for you to travel between. I wish the government was much more like this magical crustacean! Or better yet, replaced entirely by it!

sunnycotton has got me thinking about the "asking someone out with an insect" fallenclan tradition, and so i've decided to compile a little list of what insects i think have been used in the past... there are so many cool insects i WANTED to add but i'm going to try and be at least. semi-realistic. about what types of insects these mountain cats could plausibly have found.

antbite/lionsong = asian longhorned beetle

moorthistle/littleleaf = monarch butterfly caterpillar (specifically a caterpillar because of its soft texture - neither of them killed it. moor gave it to little for him to inspect and once he realized what she meant he instantly accepted. she later returned the caterpillar to the milkweed plant it had been on)

russetflare/cinderstone = eastern-eyed click beetle (russet was SO proud of catching one, cinder was reluctantly impressed)

willowsplash/bub = boll weevil

blizzardfang/crowflame = pill bug (roly-poly)

nettlestem/scorchstar = indigo duskywing skipper butterfly

newtscar/bluefern = spotted orbweaver (BEFORE evie joined the polycule)

newtscar/bluefern/evie = silver arigiope (after learning of the tradition, evie found one of these guys for his wives)

goldenstar/morningbloom = yellow garden spider

beefreckle/jaycall = praying mantis

cloudtuft/pondshine = green lynx spider (pond was like "cool thx!" at first and then cloud had to explain the tradition)

mossfrog/rustbee = green lacewing

ashblink/sleepydawn = checkered skipper butterfly

sleepycloud/ivybounce = two-striped grasshopper

yewberry/brambletuft = common scorpionfly

flyspots/wormshade = the spongy moth (wormshade didn't know about the tradition, being the kit of an ex-kittypet, and reluctantly accepted, confused. hence why flyspots thought they were mates)

pebblefreeze/human = brown centipede (these two aren't mates, and i see them as more of a QPR situation, but i feel like pebble would've given human a brown centipede anyway. he was horrified)

-🐉(i am in no way an insect expert, esp in regards to location so these still might be wildly impossbile. that's ok tho, fallenclan can exist in a pocket dimension with all the insects)

CUTE!!!!!!!!! all around very good choices (canonizing littlemoor monarch caterpillar & blizzardcrow pill bug bc AUGHHHH <3), i love the way your mind works... also pebble giving human a centipede really makes me giggle

also a few of these do have canon bugs here!

Another artfight attack! This one is of @bowelfly's very cool weevil wizard.

The original doll was what led me to follow them initially so it was really cool to take a swing at it...plus I just love bugs and I love wizards.

Here's my artfight if you wanna fight >:)

[ratbugs]

pest???

that’s literally my son, filbert

pest control mfs will be like "get rid of these annoying demons that resemble eagles to come eat your liver everyday because you did something horrid in your past life!!!" and then show you the cutest thing youve ever seen

i will put species later im posting this in a rush
