#Solenopsis

[mithrilbookofmystery]

Fine ok I'll post my mlp OCs. IDs under the cut

[Start ID: The first picture is of Solenopsis, a cyan changeling with an orange thorax, red chest, a dark magenta shell with orange and lighter purple highlights, and red eyes. He has orange spots (actually I'm not sure what they're called, they're not exactly spots as they poke out a bit from his chest, but I'm not sure what else to call them) on his chest, and his horn curves up and has two points. His pony form is a tall, skinny unicorn with a red body, orange hooves, and a dark magenta mane and tail with orange and lighter purple highlights (similar to his shell in changeling form). The orange spots on his chest from his changeling form are still there, but now they're flat orange spots on his fur. His eyes are cyan with orange and magenta highlights. His pony form's cutie mark is a cyan ant head, and there's a note underneath it that reads: "he designed it himself but refuses to admit how much thought went into it given how lackluster the final product is." Other notes on the page, listed through bullet points, read: "changeling, but prefers being in his pony form." "Evil little shit (affectionate)." "He/him." "Dating Petri Chord." "Did I mention that he's a little shit."

The second picture is of Petri Chord. In case screen readers read his name wrong, I need you to know that his name is pronounced like "petricord," not Petri as in Petri dish. He hates it when people call him Petri as in Petri dish; however, since he works in a lab, this happens almost daily. He is an average-sized pegasus with a gray body and navy blue hair, tail, and wing feathers. His hair and tail are both curly, and there's a streak of yellow that goes through his tail. His eyes are this same shade of yellow with reddish orange and cream highlights. He wears thick-framed glasses and has dark shadows under his eyes, as though he doesn't get a lot of sleep. His ears are notably small and round. His cutie mark is an erlenmyleyer flask (that's the triangle shaped one, however now that I'm looking at actual pictures of them to make sure I get the name right, I'm realizing that I drew it... kinda bad) filled with a bright green liquid, and there's a yellow lightning bolt behind it. The notes, arranged under bullet points, read: "He/him." "Mad Scientist." "A little evil, Mayhaps, For funsies." "So so tired." "Just, of everything, all the time." "Dating Solenopsis." End ID.]

The blistering is caused by the ants using their jaws to grip the flesh while injecting a toxin called solenopsin A (figure 18.8).

If these notorious swarming insects, originally from South America, continue to spread like they have elsewhere, experts worry they could claim the whole continent. Today, imported red fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are the fifth costliest invasive species in the world, causing billions of dollars of environmental damage in numerous nations. True to their name, the species delivers a burning venomous sting, and because these insects run in packs numbering upwards of half a million individuals, they can easily attack and overwhelm prey many times larger than themselves. As colonies spread, they engulf plants and animals alike, invading and clearing land of precious wildlife. In Australia, the invasive species is on the brink of surpassing the environmental damage caused by feral cats, wild dogs, foxes, camels, rabbits, and cane toads combined. "S. invicta is one of the worst invasive species. It can spread alarmingly quickly," says evolutionary biologist Mattia Menchetti of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Spain.

the funniest part about researching into california bug species is seeing the sheer difference in the sizes of slugs compared to ants

I'm not sure what kind of slug I want Queen Mulch and her family to be yet, but I imagine she and her family might be Pacific Banana Slugs due to their yellow coloring and spotted markings

Meanwhile Queen Mother Macerate II is a Southern Fire Ant (Solenopsis xyloni), and from what I've gathered, they're a rather small species

Now here's where the size difference comes in: Pacific Banana Slugs can grow up to 25 centimeters (Nearly 10 inches). So I'm most likely going to need to resort to mixing up the heights a bit with both characters

anyways here's an accurate drawing of Queen Mulch and Queen Mother Macerate II with their real-world species sizes in mind

This is not a polar,a hot desert:The life of White Sand desert for @the6planet8ofbats

This a hot desert have white color,is not a polar is White Sand Desert this ecosystem has in Southern Gavet,this is a Burrower bat (Family:Fossoripteronyctidae) a Family of Dust bats become burrowers with wings!! This species Yellow Burrower (Fossoripteronyctus aureus) a top predator of this desert.

Why does the Desert have white Sand? İt's because of a Moss White Terror (Albobyron destructor) this are appeared in Middle batocene,some mosses has become carnivory has become named Carnivorous mosses,this species and others like it are also Plant parasites. But White Terror they were really profilitic and their lifespan was between 6 or 8 mouths!! İndivuals of this species began decimating Forests two year after of emergence. Then this forest disappearence and 30 Years later this Plant parasite carnivorous Moss become extinct,due to the emergence of Moss eating Bats (Folivoropteropodidae) a New family of herbivorous Flying Fox Descendants and the Previously infested forest was now left a hot desert where the survivors of this chaos thrive.

İn Late Batocene, New biomes has appeared. But White Terrors are not only Plant of white Sand desert,a shrub-like Cacshrub (Arbosculocactus sociala) has emergence this interesting cactae has chosen live in Large colonies,the minimum of which 3 or 15 while the maximum are 101,which makes it an eusocial flowering Plant. But plants are Burrower bats are not only organisms of this desert,platyhelminth White Sand hammerhead (Bipalium albopsammiensis) is a descendant of a Surviving hammerhead worms of this chaos. A fish Cactus-skipper (Periopthalmus terrestris cactobranchus) is a descendant of Atlantis Mudskippers (P.barbarus) adapted in deserts.

Other species like Oreworm (Lumbricus crystalia) a earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) descendant it is extremely brigthly colored and the largest specimens of Oreworms are have 4 colors,but Oreworms have White Desert Fire Ant (Solenopsis psammoterrabilis) other name is Sandscavenger a fire ant (solenopsis spp.) Species has aggressive,females have stings and really hartful and venomous,males not have stings and a group of this ants killed amphibic squib (Amphibioteuthis cosmopoliticus) a squib across the shallow waters and coasts of this planet,it lives on land for 9 days and then moves water,like a swampus (future is Wild) and final species of this post is Giant Desert Snail (Xerogiga xerogiga) a land snail species has larger than Giant african Snail (Lissachatina fusca) this largest terrestrial mollusk of Earth,its herbivore eat Cacshrubs.

📓 👁👁

OK SO *slams down 30k words of draft* I know the original ask post said to talk about a fic I haven't written but haunts me, but believe me, this is fic is not written. We're like not even a quarter of the way through, most of this doc is notes, this fic have been haunting me since last june or so send help

So anyways. This is "the fic I'll never write" which I do have a tag about as you might have noticed, it's one of the very few things I have a tag for on here that's how much it's haunting me. I'm never going to publish this fic also, tho that's mainly bc A) it's way too fucking long B) the fandom and ship are both obscure as hell and C) its also embarrassing 😣 cringe is dead except when it's me and my fanned fictions. That being said, I'm calling the two guys A and B for simplicity's sake.

A and B hate each other's guts. They were friends once, but had a very big falling out with hurt feelings and bad miscommunications all around and basically they vowed to never talk to each other again. And then one day A wakes up and realizes that 1) his house got moved into while he was asleep(he is very ??? over this given that he was in the middle of moving in the day before; his house was basically empty 8 hours ago and now it is Not) and 2) B is coming over for lunch to pick up his stuff(????? This is even MORE confusing bc A is getting the vibe all of a sudden that they were in a relationship together? Which doesn't make sense bc he's not gay. Wait. Is he gay? What the fuck is going on???)

B comes over and they have a very stilted lunch (where it seems like B feels like something is off, too, but hes not saying anything...), B takes his stuff and leaves, and A spends the rest of the week alone in this house that he has both lived in for years and also Has Not and very confused about this new life he suddenly has.

And then A wakes up in a castle as the trusted advisor to the king in a medieval fantasy world and he is EVEN MORE CONFUSED THAN BEFORE!

Also the King is B. Great.

A spends a lot longer here than in the last universe (like 3/4 of a year), long enough for a magical war to come and pass, some character development shit to happen, and also for the King (who, again, is B) to fall in battle (and it's the one they win the war in too, RIP) and go into a Magical Nightmare Coma (bc they were warring with magical nightmare beasts). This is Bad, for a variety of reasons.

Now A is conflicted abt this bc B is his friend, bit also very much not, but that doesn't mean he wants him to die, but also the A of this universe, the advisor, is starting to get the idea to kill the king to get the throne... His death would be easy to explain away, given the circumstances...

A, instead, goes to find magicians to break the curse. This is the first good thing hes done all fic lmao

B wakes up, the kingdom throws a party, and that night, B tells A about how Something Strange has happened to him - he's not from here. From this world. He's from somewhere else, somewhere Different and in the Future but with no magic and he doesn't know how he got here or got to be possessing the king's body but he's been here for past like 3/4 of the year now and hes sorry for acting strangely if he has but he doesn't really know what to do-

A tells B that he's in the same boat, because he is. B realizes that this A is his A and he hates his A. So. B says some things he'll probably regret later bc being mean is the best defense he's learned against A's general air of uncaring-ness for the effects of his /j "jokes" (they're not jokes, half the time they're just mean, but anyways), and storms off.

The next day, A wakes up in a submarine. He thinks he is going to scream.

They go through....,,., a lot of universes. I think it's over 25 rn but idk. Some are shorter than others, the longest is like a year and a half but we'll get to that. The general arcs are:

1. The beginning bit (Just Broke Up, King/Advisor, Deep Sea Biologists (that ones just an excuse to stick them in a small space for a while to duke it out lmao), Astronauts (kinda same premise as last one but there's a third party now), Musicians, Wild West, Minecraft, Wizards, Desert Island (to quote the notes there, "they duke it out but calmer now"), semi-back in their home universe but something's Off, Superhero(B)/Supervillain(A))

In this part they start off hating each other, but slowly warm up to each other again by the Wizard universe (they're wizards there <3). They recognize that they're each other's only constant in this mess, so in the Desert Island 'verse, they agree to try and find each other right away in each new universe they wake up in (instead of messing around for a while before accidentally stumbling into each other like they'd done before). They debate about the versions of themselves they're possessing, with A very adamant about not changing each universe's lives too much, while B is willing to throw that out the window if keeping the status quo endangers each other. He's starting to like A as a friend again and doesn't want to have to tiptoe around him to compensate for this other life that was thrust upon him, sue him. This comes to a head at the end of the superhero verse when A foils his own plan to save B's life, revealing his own identity to the press in the process - VERY much changing the status quo of this A's life. B is very very confused and conflicted abt this but we don't know how A feels bc its B's POV this chapter.

Also it's worth noting that B still gets nightmares from getting attacked by a nightmare beast monster thing, and he will continue having them for the rest of the fic. They get a heck of a lot worse in the next one <3 and he doesn't tell A abt them until like 3 years into this bullshit

Also also they are so homesick already god bless

2. The Death Universes (the death universes) (this is the year and a half one btw)

They wake up in separate universes where the other is dead bc I love inflicting characters with hardships and problems and trauma <3

They get therapy in these ones too which helps them to like accept blame and shit when it comes to their old argument but also not blame themselves completely and break and also hold each other accountable more and in healthier ways

3. Post-Death bits AKA the rest of the fic p much (its like over half the fic I'm not listing all these out)

Points of interest:

- they reunite and are so so happy about it that they become codependent

- they go to a BOTW AU and B is Link and has amnesia but not just the B from the BOTW universe has it, the original B has it also and he. He fucking going through it man

- bc of the whole amnesia thing B starts thinking of himself where he's not really the B of whichever universe but hes also not really the original B either (tho that's always usually the one more in control each time); the two have kind of merged together, and each new universe creates a new version of B

- he goes with that for a while until it gives him an existential crisis and OG B starts maintaining his independence again

- anyways then they get more codependent <3 fruity edition

- they start to realize they're getting codependent and go :/ uh oh oopsie poopsie

- why did I say that I'm sorry

- anyways they try to homebrew some therapy for themselves but given their situation it's not exactly.. uh.... But tbh it's the best they got right now ngl. it works well enough

- it helps that the universe right after they agree to Spend Some Time Apart™️ they wind up in one where they physically cannot meet each other until they get to the end of it and have to make new friends along the way (Dead Gods AU my beloved....... <3)

- they get to a universe where they're Dads and Gay and Married and go 😳

- they only get fruitier from here

And then it vaguely ends around there. I don't really want to ever write an ending for it, if only bc it feels cheap to end it before they get home but also writing them going home feels wrong, but also, again, I'm never publishing this so I'm not too pressed about it

Saying that, I do want to share some bits from the scenes I have actually written that I'm proud of :3 A is red and B is blue. Sometimes the versions of themselves from a universe will have a different name and I do differentiate between the two; when that happens, the alternate universe versions will have a lighter color than OG A or B. Some of them aren't the same size so you'll have to tap the pics to read all of it

Their fight in the first universe, where they don't really know what's going on but they do know they have just recently broken up and are still very hurt abt that

P much the only scene written for the Superhero AU bit, mainly bc I know I cannot top this

There's a bit of a jump in their conversation between these two, but I hope it still makes sense. Mid-part 3, around the time when B's having his existential crisis and right when they start being fruity. (Pastel/Punk AU also High School AU but it's like the weird teen movie version of high school - they're a little weirded out by it lol)

And ofc Dead Gods AU my beloved <3

Also I made a playlist. They're not really in any particular order story-wise, and some remind me of the story more than others, but yeah :)

When I tell you this story fuckgin HAUNTS me bro......

#the fic ill never write #if anyones wondering why p much all my other WIPs have been seemingly abandoned for so long. its bc of this one fucking fic #and other things but mainly this #ive gotten so many story ideas out of this bro..... #like i want to turn the god au one into its own thing at some point. god i have so many ideas for that #and also maybe the superhero one if only bc that one scene i wrote fucking slaps #also there was originally going to be a MLP au in there and then i scrapped that #and then turned those versions of A and B into my MLP OCs <3 #A is Solenopsis and B is Petri Chord #but also not really but also yes #so glad to finally talk about this #and thank u dear reader for listening to my infodump

We're going to talk about our cool vampire guy headcanons again. We like to set Monsieur Scarlet as a member of Solenopsis invicta, albeit a very unconventional example of the species. As a fire ant, technically, he is venomous - however, he's not actually had venom production online for decades, and at this point the cost for Making That Bite Work Again far outweighs the perceived benefit.

Would it be directly useful for his survival to be capable of injecting people with venom that causes intense burning sensations? Yes, probably, especially since he's at a scale where the swelling induced would probably take out an arm for hours at a time. He's just not going to fix it, because that takes life force that he could be using for other purposes, like breathing, or keeping his heart running, or having an emergency teleportation stock so that he can fling himself a metre or two in any direction when need be.

#we speak #bug fables #he's brazilian #if you are familiar with this species then it may be because they are INCREDIBLY invasive in like. everywhere theyve been ported #it is partially a joke on how incredibly broadly our version of scarlet travels #hes probably run into a good few other colonies of his species but with how our hc awakening Works he might not have recognized them #and he doesnt precisely hang around long enough to learn about these things #generally members of the species would be a lot more pigmented but wizard biology is weird and scarlet is weirder #which is to say that he's spent a very very long time healing back damage with investments in life force #and cutting down the body running fund enough that he can try to exist in areas that dip below 20 degrees celsius #and these things in combination as it turns out kind of fuck up pigment production in a major way #magic changes your colors much in the same way that mutations usually work #which is to say “it doesn't necessarily change That Specifically but color is one of the least lethal things that can be altered here” #it takes relatively little to change pigment production and Being A Different Color is relatively unlikely to kill you #not that it doesnt affect your life at all but it will not kill you outright and thats really all that needs to be done #he started out a sort of red-brown color and then his carapace just sort of didnt darken like it should normally #and then he wound up on the run and he slowly color shifted to pink over the course of several decades #depending on which canon we're operating in he may have also just totally lost all pigment on one occasion #when he took an unplanned nap and then wound up horror movie-ing some random researchers after losing his higher brain functions #and also a lot of other general functions. like bodily ones. like producing pigment at all. #dont need that underground but he walked out into the light and got flashbanged and immediately decided to not do that again #as it turns out. pigment production is important for some things. like sun protection. you want to be capable of being in the sun.
