wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?
& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?
and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?
and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.
just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof

I lost the OG post where I was talking about the EX novel 4
Anyway, I got the book and haven't even read it straight because I'm too excited to do that, and
Spoilers.
- Reinhard really just had to blink and everyone died, huh...
- Groovy Gumlet is cute
- Julius is cute. He's also the MC here
- I thought that when the wiki said they didn't show Reinhard VS Cecilus, but cut to the aftermath, they were exaggerating for the sake of the wiki summary... they literally did this. Just said something like 'Begin!' and we cut to Cecilus covered in cuts
- Translations are a bit strange (Cecilus = Cecils, Ia = Ire, In = Innes, Vollachia = Volakia...)
- Cecilus is good at blending in to the point Ferris (a demihuman) didn't notice him, but Julius still happened to through magic
- Groovy makes an appearance screaming and flying through the sky and I like it. There's just a distant "YAAAAAAAHHHHH" from the forest
- Julius is really kind and compassionate here. He's also extremely perceptive of everything that I was surprised and half-scared because how???
- Cecilus is literally that guy who comes into work late, a disheveled mess
Vincent: Where are your two swords?
Cecilus, who arrived late: At the blacksmiths. I was late, so when I got out of bed, I just grabbed the two first swords I saw, and—
Is literally the gist of one of their conversations
- Julius is cute
- Cecilus almost got mistaken for a woman at first glance
- I like Groovy a lot. He swears like a sailor, is super cute, walks around with weapons galore, and his name is GROOVY
Like. Awesome puffballs.
- Vincent refers to Cecilus as a thing, talking about how he had absolutely no situational awareness from the start, being completely out of the loop the ENTIRE TIME
- Is Bordeaux buff or something under those old clothes??
- THE ART.
- Ferris's feminine appearance is commented on
- Reinhard wears a Collar of Submission for those who are into that
