#Bugs R Cool

[bog-goblin]

Something I have learned while working in conservation and the outdoor industry is learn to love bugs. This may sound like bug lover propaganda, but honestly, the number of people I've spoken to who "didn't see anything of interest" on their hikes is wild. Like, I can't relate because there is a pretty well endless supply of lil guys to see if you just look at stuff real close or turn over rocks or logs and BAM free guys to observe. Like, sorry you didn't see that super rare bird on your hike, but I saw a pretty moth and a super cool gold beetle :)

so one common analysis I've seen on worm is that getting powers ultimately drives you to recreate your trigger event and - as of arc 15 - that is absolutely 1000% true for taylor.

like, bugs are Gross and Weird, Controlling them is going to make you look Gross and Weird, Taylors bullies treated her as Gross and Weird.

but to seriously analyse this here, what is one thing bugs are heavily symbolically tied to? Filth. Dirt, disease, rot, uncleansliness, disgust. Beezlebub and the rotting pigs head in Lord of the flies. And the thing is, anyone who weilds bugs as their power is inherently going to carry those connotations with them. You can't have swarms of inscets hovering above your head and not looks at least partially like a walking corpse, can't command hoards of arachnids to create miles of silk and not appear like a harbinger of phobias and disgust. Taylor is the Swarm, something I've seen said before but just think about what that means about how she sees through the eyes of hovering pests, feels them wirth in the dirt and bite off flesh with their mandibles and feast on filth and crawl over everything and how she feels blind when separated from her bugs because she is the infestation she is the disgust, her powers made it insperable from her being.

And thats something that's openly acknowledged, both in universe and out. People freaking out at her powers, fandom calling her a little bug freak of a girl but when you think about it there's something so tragic about that. Like, even if she joined the wards and used her powers in a less ruthless way (which she wouldn't because why would she? the bugs are a part of her) she's still the bug girl, even if on an internal level she is one with the infestation. and she doesn't even notice, truly, how disturbing it is because its a part of her now and wether personally or socially, how powers have always made her a little bit of a freak, a little bit of am outcast. a worm, wirthing on the pavement that you try not to look at too heard because it grosses you out.

and thats not even getting into the Master element of her power, how a large part of her trigger was everyone ignoring her in the locker and now she has help! she will never be alone or helpless like that again! there will always be things there to look out for her! but also its not human and the consistent usage of said power leads to her more alone than she's ever been, in part because she no longer experiences reality like them.

or even on a simple level how just. how many bugs must she have felt crawl over her skin, how much rot and disgust pressed up to her, breathing and crawling with it while she was in that locker? and how many times now has she recreated that, hiding hundreds of incects under her clothes or masking her face with a Swarm of bugs. how many times have taylors powers inadvertently made her the same disgusting, isolated and ignored bug of a girl she was that day?

#worm #wormblr #also when i talk about disdain and disgust and fear of bugs im talking from a cultural point of thematic analysis and not #my actual feelings. bugs r cool + useful and plently of people love them but from a western cultural standpoint they also have Connotations #worm analysis #parahumans #taylor hebert #stick stick sticky stick #this is a long one fellas

What's the deal with Leif in the Venom AU? Is he a modern bug or did he get time travelled some other way?

(also what color is he)

He's a modern bug! He was raised by his grandparents which is why he talks like he's a hundred million years old.

He's married to muse and is a researcher! He studies languages and knows quite a few! He actually knows quite a bit of roach, while not fluent, he is the foremost expert in bugaria.

When Kabbu and Vi go to snakemouth den, instead of getting trapped, they get chased out by the spider. Kabbu knows Leif, and that he's interested in roach stuff and mentioned what they discovered. Leif of course, like any sane person with a special interest, immediately demands that he come on their next incredibly dangerous excursion.

Which of course, is how he gets venomed lol. And yeah, he's red btw. If i made him blue then I'd have to make all of team snakemouth blue.

#bug fables spoilers #venom au #ask #chit chat #tangleslime2 #Leif @ muse: Hey u cool w me going a dangerous explorer mission? #Muse: i thought u hated kina??? and also we can't ask Suze (muse and muze r twins now cause i said so) and Hawk to babysit for that long #Leif then has to explain no #he does not want to accompany his wife and her explorer partner on their next mission #He wants to go with his buddy Kabbu and his partner Vi into the scary cave that kills people cause there is WORDS there #Leif gets to go IF he promises not pick any fights and also if Kina is cool with Muse taking a break for a bit. #Leif didn't pick any fights (he let kabbu and vi pick them and then gleefully participated) #Muse didn't think to tell him not to touch anything weird #He is so careful and delicate with all the artifacts he researches #muse after this mission: Leif i love you but PLEASE do not touch any mystery creatures to “see what happens” ever again #Leif: what if they try to kill me. #muse: then i want you to come back alive or i'll kill you myself.

If there were things you wished that you could change Miraculous Ladybug, what would they be?

honestly I love this stupid show so so so much it’s so fun and silly and makes me cringe and laugh and cry so hard. however the hero designs are all TERRIBLE. so I would let these kids have a sense of fashion

#jules answers #I LOVE THE BUG AND CAT SHOW SOOOO MUCH U GUYS #but PLEASE why r half the hero designs so hideous let them be cool… #miraculous ladybug

Sceliphron caementarium, or the yellow-legged mud dauber. This is the type of wasp that lays its eggs on living spiders, where they hatch and eat it alive. Spiders are pretty epic and cool, so this wasp gets a 2/10, as it looks pretty cool.

Just saw it on my door and thought I’d share a picture
