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)

oh yeah heres weevil again

[sweaterreptile]

cultivating an interest in and appreciation for bugs has been such a fun and easy way for me to find more excitement and joy in my day to day life. I saw a rice weevil (or possibly maize weevil?), some wasps, and a squash bug on my walk home the other day and it was a delightful pick-me-up

at the poety club

I Hope I Die a Weevil, by skitter-queen. ahem ahem:

I hope I die a weevil

Crushed beneath a stone

I hope I get to be a little

Bug before I’m gone

Thank you. This is one of my favorite of skitter-queen’s weevil poems. I especially like the way she rhymes ‘stone’ with ‘gone’, deftly breaking the usual rules of language to convey her message, which is that weevils would probably pronounce things a little different than humans on account of their weird little snouts

Love having a professor that has a little freak living in his brain aswell

Someone reminded me of him so I'll be posting here too! This is my Yu-Gi-Oh OC, I made him for a RPG 2 years go!

He is a bug nerd who would start conversations with bug facts! He really likes insects! He wears a facemask because he's allergic to dust and pollen, it has a little worm drawn in it and it would act as kind of a mouth to show expression (like his glasses would distort like eyes etc)

His hair is inspired on Magma Worm's design

His deck is full of worms and cards that are only related on a concept level since I had to win a duel sometime

[viviraptor-art]

this is super long-overdue, but i recently made a shrimpshipping fankid!! it's been a while since i made a fan character, but i was so inspired by the yugioh oc community on insta that i wanted to try my hand at making one!

there's more info about her under the cut if you're interested ^^

around 20 years after the events of yugioh duel monsters, maizey raptor-underwood was born through surrogacy. with two animal-lovers for parents, maizey grew to love the outdoors, and believes that animals are superior to humans in just about every way.

fun facts:

her name is a reference to a maize weevil. if she was born a boy she might have been named mosey, like mosasaurus.

she eventually attends duel academy, and would be a slifer red.

her outfit's pawprint motif with three toepads represents the three members of her family.

finally, some design tidbits!

…….so this reminded me of the we irritating 😂😂😂 meme. i’m sorry

(i’m not sorry)

Just realized that weevils are literally just called 'we evil' which is fair

Walking iterator design! Inspired by @capricoopla 's mobile iterators! I went for more of a mix between a few different things- namely nosk from Hollow Knight! It was supposed to look like a massive spider but it kinda looks like a fucked up giraffe weevil.

(more in depth design nerd stuff under the cut)

The body being built more akin to a spider allows for the neurons the iterators need to be stored somewhere safe and protected- the abdomen! Aka their massive spider booty. It can hold a TON of neurons- albeit very very cramped with minimal space for the neurons to move. This DOES affect the iterators- making them experience mood swings, constant spaghetti string thoughts™, and memory jumbling, but it allows for them to stay properly sapient and allows them to keep their memories and processing power.

The thorax (the part the head is connected to) is the main powering system. Inside isa leftover refraction cell- being inputted into a much smaller scale heart. The section it's hooked up to regulates the "voltage" being put out- that way the entire thing doesn't explode from an overload. The refraction cell is how the entire body is able to move in the first place!

The body is very heavy and sturdy, being able to withstand the rain if needed.its also covered in vents from its ventilation, as well as some addition steam valves to let trapped vapor from its coolant systems out.

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!
