#but I still wish my bug was here

Today is Bindi's birthday. I miss her so much.

#I'm so glad zaku is here #and does so many of the things she did #it makes the hole in my heart not so bad #but I still wish my bug was here #bindi

Okay so, yesterday I've been on my worst DRG mission yet xD

I am a very green-greenbeard (barely over 10 hours playtime), my fav mission type is Liquid Morkite mining (space oil mining, you need to build a system of pipelines leading to each morkite rift, which requires a lot of fun terrain-conquering problem-solving), because building pipelines is addictively fun. So, as a complete idiot, I see a mission with modifiers (this was a decision I would later regret-but not really) and get on it on a public server (meaning any player can join in, which normally doesn't take too much time at all).

The modifiers on that mission? Low oxygen and Cave Leeches (Cave leeches are enemy type that grab you and drain your health to zero unless somebody else saves you, Low Oxygen means precisely what the name implies, and you need to regularly come back to the mining station to refill your oxygen tanks.) Oh, and the Cave Complexity was 3 (which means, as I've intimately learned on that mission, that the map becomes much bigger, and more obstacles will get in your way, this pairs very badly with low oxygen modifier, as your mission objectives are placed further, but you constantly need to route back to be able to breathe)

So, there my lonely Engineer was, with my best boi Bosco (robot-companion while you play solo, he actually does what you ask him to so he is more useful than actual players xD yes but not really but yes), terrified of the amount of lootbug mess I just stepped into, once I logged in and realised what exactly all those modifiers meant.

I was terrified to explore, as it would be extremely easy to get caught by leeches and Bosco can only revive me two times, and this was only the prep step of the actual mission. Very carefully, I was able to find the first morkite well, and then the real issue arose. While, I am really glad I picked Engie for this mission, as his ability to create platforms is extremely useful when building pipelines, he also is one of the classes that doesn't have innate fast mobility options. In the context of a big map and pipeline building this meant that I had to: imagine the route I can build the pipeline to that particular morkite well, figure out how to mold terrain so the pipeline route would be actually possible to build, go out and mold terrain, then immediately route back because I have no oxygen left, rinse repeat, but switch 'terrain mold' to 'pipeline construction'. Very soon the time I spent getting to the construction point and back took most of my oxygen, so I could work like 30 seconds maybe on a pipeline, before heading back, otherwise my dwarf would suffocate. Also, somehow, Nobody would join. I think I spent around 30, maybe a bit more minutes just trying to build the first pipeline. I was terrified of going outside the tried and true routes because of the cave leeches, so I didn't even have any nitra for a resupply when my platform gun ran out of ammo. I started manually digging through the rock to build the second pipeline. I mean, I started digging for 2 seconds at best, then had to run back because of low oxygen, then back to mining for my two limited seconds.

For some reason, I persisted through this, and built two out of three pipelines. Thankfully, the best route I found for the last line went parallel to my first built line for a long time, so that eased the process a little, and the middle morkite well turned out to be closer than the others, so that was a break. I only had the longest pipeline to build, the one where I had to manually dig a tunnel to place, when, THANK GOD, another player joined in. It was a Gunner, he clearly didn't feel nearly as terrified as I was of the cave leech ambushes, was I bravery or stupidity I know not, but he found us nitra, and I was finally able to order a resupply. Things went easier after I figured out that his ziplines took less time to go up the cliff that pipeline surfing, and with my reloaded platform gun things got much easier. Then another player joined in, a scout this time, and it all went pretty smooth after that. The entire mission took me an hour and a half to complete, and for the most of it I was on my own.

Bosco, I will never forget the bond we built on that mission, robot-buddy my dear,

and the joined guys really saved my ass there,

I would never have finished the mission without them. Remember, if you Rock and Stone, you're never alone!

#sadly they left after the mission and I didn't even get to order them a beer at the bar #i did thank them extensively during the mission chat so I think my appreciation was communicated well xD #thank god it was only hazard 2 so we didn't have too much troubles with bugs #my main is driller but i am starting to really love the engie too i like playing support roles #and his platform gun is extremely helpful especially on morkite refining missions helps out a ton when pipeline building #still drg is great because every class is pretty much self-sustainable so any one dwarf can finish any mission #you might really wish for teammates in times like this tho so the coop aspect of the game really works wonders here #rock and stone #drg #deep rock galactic #i am not doing low oxygen missions on my own again xD #though it will be my duty from now on to join each one I can cause I really needed those teammates

i lost my sewing stuff i know it's around here somewhere there's actually exactly one spot where it should be and it is not there but i need to mend things and it has made an unfortunate disappearance at an unfortunate time and before you ask yes i do plan on crying myself to sleep over this

#last bit is /j but i am becoming increasingly irritated that i cannot fix something #sigh. i need to buy needles in bulk i feel like i always lose them but my thread?? i have a pretty big thing of thread how did i lose that? #also i've been up for *does math* 31 hours atp still feeling good actually i feel great actually highly recommend staying awake for 31 hour #i spent like legitimately 26 hours straight (w snack breaks) reading like i entered a trance i couldn't sleep i needed to keep reading #and here we are. i wish i spent that time doing schoolwork or preparing for things but no. the fanfiction... it captivated me #i am only now freed from its shackles and i need to sew things but i lost my needle :( and thread :'( #i cannot submit to the sweet release of unconsciousness until i fix this it's like high-key been bugging me all day

#Today's episode was. Okay. #Fun fact I had never watched this episode. Once I started but was interrupted half way through #And like… Nothing reminds me how much I'm here only for two characters as much as watching an entire episode without them. Seriously. #I wish I was joking and I wish it sounded less shallow… But it's true? I'm sorry. #I wish I at least had watched this when I was still positive towards kuniki/dazai but not I'm just ╮(╯_╰)╭ #Especially since like. I know intimately how it feels to put your moral code and abstract ideals before your own happiness. #So Kunikida's character only makes me feel miserable more often than not #I'm sorry for being so negative I usually try to use this blog specifically - more than my main - as a place to be positive and enthusiast– #and keep negativity low but this time I'm failing (´；ω；｀) #I apologize #I like Aya as a character but I don't really enjoy her role in this episode specifically. There's a lot of tiny things that just bug me. #Literally the best things of the episode for me were the couple of Atsushi frames. #The fleeting and definitely not there daz/atsu in Atsushi always bringing up Dazai. #Atsushi and Akutagawa and ss/kk in the op/ed. #And Dazai messing up with Kunikida was funny I suppose pffttt. #Oh well. Off to Dead Apple we go 🙏🙏🙏 #Thank goodness there'll be some ss/kk and Kyouka before three whole episodes of Fifteen arc #random rambles

ah. seems the special interest i've now had for 23 months, the only one that still consumes a portion of my mind at all times, just turned six today, and not a single one of the several lists I have to keep track of such anniversaries bothered to warn me of this early enough that I could actually draw something for it in time

#HAPPY BIRTHDAY HK. I WILL TRY TO DRAW SOMETHING FOR YOU BUT I HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF GOING ON!!! #it's something dear to my heart...played it two years ago and i still like it a lot!! it's stuck with me is what i guess i mean #peridots-nonsense #hollow knight #that should be all but it's not. ough. hk is one of those games i wish i could play for the first time again... #it was such a wonderful experience and i still love its characters so much... #don't post about it much anymore considering how many other fandoms/worlds i have to draw for now #but. yeah #it's also what gave me my love for bugs!!! and that's such an integral part of me now that i can't imagine what would've happened #had i never played it. (spoiler alert i actually would've played bug fables instead! it was an interesting thing to learn that so many #hk fans liked bf too. i learned of bftes first because my mom pointed it out (once again this was before i even liked arthropods!! #coincidences!!) but i ended up buying hk months before bf because my best friend (and now partner...) liked it) #lol it's only Technically feb24 in my time zone i just have a bad sleep schedule. i still have time but art's a long process for me #anyway. goodbye dear tag-wanderer! you should play hollow knight if you're not already here for that :] #WAIT I ALSO GOTTA WATCH THE JAYROCK/N STREAM TODAY...slash tomorrow but yk

I’m out of town for a couple of days for my brother’s chess tournament and the internet in this hotel sucks butts and I only brought one book with me 😓

#sucks butts IN A BAD WAY #this is the same hotel that held the last couple of big chess tournaments my brother entered #so I’ve been here a few times but this is the first time I’m actually renting a room instead of driving back and forth each day #so positive: got a room and don’t have to drive a bunch. negative: no continental breakfast 😒 #they have a little tiny starbucks but no free breakfast which is bullshit! #also all of my books are stilled packed up from moving bc I’m lazy so I couldn’t grabbed any one I really wanted to read #but I did get a free copy of Stephen King’s ‘On Writing’ the other day so I brought that #and yeah I am kinda pumped to peruse that. Mr King is a pretty cool dude and I def want his writing tips #but also… I just kinda would rather read something about a fucked up wizard or something ya know? #anyway I always feel weird or annoying saying this but if you want to send me any asks or anything to help pass my time then by all means #or not. it’s cool. really. I hate bugging people and I hate coming off as desperate & needy outside of the bedroom #im going to be mushy and say im kind of excited to spend the night sleepover style with my little bro here #he’s getting older and it’s getting harder to convince him to hang out with me #love this little dude so gosh darn much #oh man what if we get a pizza and watch a movie together? would that be cool? is that something teenagers like to do with their older bros? #i’m so lame #being like 18 years older than your younger brother means you get to fulfill your cool uncle/dad vibes without actually having kids #ok I have to stop myself from filling this with tags about wishing I was a dad or being whatever #what was I saying before?… did I even have a point? #oh yeah… bad internet… only one book… I’m hungry… yeah… #this isn’t important #you can ignore this #text

AND I'M ALREADY SPIRALING BECAUSE THE SPARE ROOM IS FULL OF SHIT AND I'M SICK OF LIVING LIKE THIS AND THEN!!!!

#tw bugs #bugs tw #i hate this place so fucking much i hate it #i can't take baths because the tub has these grody strips in it #and we can't peel them off because the building management put this cheap enamel shit over the tub that's peeling off and it'll strip it #the bathroom is so tiny it feels smaller than my old bathroom even though they're the same size and my old one had a slanted ceiling #the cat stinks the whole place up #it's so dark in here always because there's these cheap paper blackout panels on the windows #the living room is a disaster because of how they decided to arrange it it's so weird the tv is like right in front of the sofa #and not against a wall so it's just in the middle of the room #there's junk mail everywhere #neverending fucking trash no matter how much i pick up there's still more and more and more #we fill three fucking trashbags a week #i used to fill a single trash bag every two weeks #i hate living here so goddamn much #i wish i could go live on my own again so bad #i can't just break up with my boyfriend everyone will make me feel guilty for it #he'll probably cry and i can't deal with seeing people cry because of me i feel so guilty for everything all the time #i hate my fucking life #i want to fucking die #🥀

when people say "ok but x bug has no benefit to nature" I bet they can't even name 5 facts about the bug they're shitting on. so how could they Possibly know what its function is in the environment and if it's "useless" or not

wasps being the perfect example, I still get people saying "oh bees are cute and pollinate :) yay. but WASPS ARE EVIL and they don't contribute ANYTHING!!!" and it's like buddy. wasps pollinate too. they also control spider populations. they do a lot of great valuable things. but even if they didn't, they're still worthy of being here. I see SO much hatred toward wasps and I wish people would try to learn a little more about them.

I'm mainly talking about paper wasps here because these are common ones we run into in daily life and most commonly deemed "aggressive". but wasps have body language. and if you learn to read this language and learn how to properly act around them, things will go a lot better for you! wasps can be curious creatures and they may come up to observe you, especially if you're wearing something brightly colored. this can be startling for sure, but my best advice is to just be still, DO NOT SWAT or wave your arms. try to just back away or sidestep so it loses interest and leaves. swatting is just gonna make them feel as if they are being attacked and increase your chances of being stung.

many stings happen due to unfortunate but accidental circumstances. unknowingly getting too close to a nest, stepping on a wasp on accident, one getting stuck in clothing, etc. I got stung once while gardening, went to pull a weed and the wasp was on it, so I grabbed her without knowing and she stung me because she was scared. this doesn't mean "oh wasps are AGGRESSIVE and EVIL" it means you stumbled into an unfortunate situation where the wasps felt threatened and defensive. instead of being like "FUCK all wasps" go forward trying to learn about common nesting areas, be wary of holes in the ground, wear gloves while gardening, and if you do have to be around a nest, try not to make a lot of noise. if the nest absolutely needs removed, call a professional.

#michaelpost #bugs #insects #wasps #another bug rant post but this time i dont think people are ready to hear it #I see MORE hate lately toward wasps than I see toward spiders #and its very annoying bc wasps are an extremely diverse group of insects and have many functions and benefits #it sucks badly to see bees get adored but wasps get shit talked

ooooohhh my god. oooooohhhhh my goddddd. i have literally never needed papyrus to make me food so bad in my life.

Vlad, Dan and Dani move across dimensions to Gotham because of some bad stuff happening in their own dimension. Vlad has a lot of his money with him in cash, and they quickly get themselves fake id's as father and his two children. Vlad's plan is to keep low profile, wait it out and then return. Dan and Dani don't care about Vlad's plan.

Vlad is shady, Dan and Dani are causing shenanigans, and a bunch of coincidences leads to people believing that they're some sort of mafia family.

Some idiots try to rob Dani and she blurts out "Do you know who my dad is?". Dan emerges from the shadows, sends Dani off and makes extremely specific and detailed threats of slow and painful death to the would-be robbers. He finishes the speech by adding that they would be wishing for him to do all of that if his and Dani's father found out about the robbery.

Then Dan accidentally recruits a group of goons by beating up their boss and feeling kinda responsible for the henchmen.

Then Dani steals the talons.

Dan has a fight over territory with one of the smaller rogues.

Dani steals Scarecrow's chemicals.

All the while they keep convincing people that this is all a part of some bigger plan of Masters family. First it's just a misunderstanding, then they keep doing it to annoy Vlad. Some people think that Masters is just a surname, some think that Master is a rogue's name. After a while everyone knows that there's an up-and-coming crime family.

Vlad is entirely oblivious. He doesn't know shit. He ends up making a small organisation (restaurant? car repair shop?) to hire people who keep coming to him. He's not sure why his children tell all these people that he can help but they are in trouble, so he helps. And then helps again, and again. All the places he opens look like crime fronts.

Vlad is still unaware that he's a mob boss.

Maybe at some point Dan and Dani think that Vlad figured this out (because its obvious) but doesn't say anything because the police has bugged their house or because he wants plausible deniability.

Obviously all of this ends with the Bats deciding to confront Masters. It's also the perfect moment for Danny to enter.

Here, have a shitty meme showing the moment.

Danny: I left you here fOR ONE MONTH

Vlad: It's not my fault!

Danny: I figured. Dani, if I give you a candy, will you tell me what the hell you've done?

Dani: What kind of candy?

Danny, handing out a Yellow Lantern ring: A Ring Pop.

Dani, snatching it: We accidentally started a mob family :D
