#Wasp mention

I have weird paranoia about waking up with a wasp/hornet nest being in my room suddenly and they swarm and cover me and sting me endlessly 👍
Oh, I've had nightmares like that, I had a huge wasp nest above my door and my window was old so they'd come in my room sometimes
I probably shouldn't have said that if you have a fear of wasps
this is more rational than my fear, I'll say that for sure

Not to belittle your arachnophobia because that’s completely valid but every time you post about bugs I’m reminded of how you casually remove wasps (I’m TERRIFIED of wasps) but spiders are scary (I can handle spiders usually) and it’s such a dichotomy it hits me the same every time, like you’re like “I grabbed the wasp and moved it” and I’m like melting at the thought in horror and shock
wasps are infinitely less terrifying than spiders and they are nowhere near the same thing at all.
But that's also valid. everyone is different and has their reasons for whether or not they like or dislike something that someone else likes or dislikes.
[slight descriptions below of my encounters with bugs n arachnids: spiders & wasps]:
and I've been stung by at least 1 wasp before when I was little. I have a fear of being stung, but I know how to catch and release the wasps safely. Going slow and careful, no sudden movements and trapping them in a large and thick enough cup with a thick paper to cover it until I can get them out the door. I'm fine with it. They haven't chased me or anything which is good. I'm fine with them, honestly.
wasps really do not bother me unless they get a bit too close for comfort. (ie, flying too close to my head or crawling on the cup too close to my hand as I'm trying to catch it), but even then it's really still not that bad.
SPIDERS THO?
they're upsetting to look at when they're big enough. I don't think I've ever been bit by one, but I've had them crawl on me before and it's the WORST. I'm not the type of person to wish all spiders DIE or be KILLED VIOLENTLY, but they make me cry and SOOOO UPSET. I really hate looking at them.
The ONLY spiders that we get randomly in this house that do not bother me much if at all are the little wall/corner spiders, they're like BARELY a single centimeter in size at max. They rarely get up and move around. It's only when they're rarely skadaddling across my bed or something that I don't like.
Cellar Spiders and Jumping Spiders on the other hand.. EUGH. HORRIBLE. I HATE HOW THEY MOVE. THEY GET WAY TOO BIG.
AT LEAST THE CELLAR SPIDERS RARELY MOVE AROUND. THEY STAY UP HIGH AND TUCKED INTO CORNERS/VERTICES OF THE CEILING AND WALLS.. NOT LIKE JUMPING SPIDERS THAT WANDER FREELY. JUMPING SPIDERS TO ME ARE LIKE.. REALLY UPSETTING BECAUSE THEY JUMP. RIDICULOUSLY FAST AND HIGH/FAR. I DO NOT LIKE THAT.
I do not wish to ever get that close with a spider.
I would rather deal with wasps on any given day tbh.

Was going to get started on packing up today but wasps have decided that my plans are hiding in my tent or in my car while they try to infest my outside mirrors.
At least I took out the trash yesterday.

other than my crippling anxiety, looming financial issues, extremely high academic workload, lack of free time, and the wasp sting on my finger from two days ago, I'd actually say I'm doing okay

Long-tailed giant ichneumonid wasp, Megarhyssa macrurus, Ichneumonidae
Found in the eastern United States and up into southern Canada.
This species is a parasitoid of the larvae of the pigeon horntail, which bore tunnels in decaying wood. Female wasps detect larvae in the wood and use their long ovipositor to drill to them, paralyzing and laying an egg on the horntail larva. The wasp larva will then consume the body of the horntail larva before pupating and emerging as an adult wasp.

OH. okay so normally i dont touch discourse with a 20 ft pole, but this has been niggling at my brain tonight and i finally realized why
the people who are mad at qbbh for the memory loss and “dodging consequences” dont understand that he doesnt want to dodge consequences. Like they cant know that, they werent focused on him when he was literally feeding himself to the soul vultures and planning his eventual imprisonment and also. The Many Many Many hints he made towards suicide/sacrifice/Just Fucking Dying.
ccbbh is a subtle roleplayer, he’s been building this shit up for two whole months- it was day FIVE of the eggs going missing that he resolved to do whatever it took (hurting his friends) to get the eggs back. It was day three that he followed in dapper’s footsteps and started feeding himself to the soul vultures (and gaining a Massive headwound beneath his hood in the process- you can only see it if you go on namemc and remove the layers). He’s got impaired judgement. Even the memory issues arent a new thing- i cant remember exactly when they started, but one of the first big moments i remmeber was september 30th where he spent an hour falling into a delusional frenzy searching his base for cameras that he forgot he asked aypierre to plant.
The super murder of purgatory and the memory loss afterwards probably all feels very sudden for people who havent been following his story, but as someone who has been- all of this has been true to character. The only cheap swings he’s made have been combat-based in purgatory, and even the motive for those was built up in rp.
People are calling for consequences, but he has alrwady been experiencing self-inflicted consequences for months. The blue on his usual outfit is blood. This recent memory loss isnt a restart to get away with the atrocities - it is yet another consequence of his egg-protecting complexes and the ways he punishes himself for failing them.
he is NOT a moral character. he’s a demon hiding in plain site. he has eaten people. he has killed people. he understands the cruelty of his actions, and the consequences of them for the loved ones of his victims. but it matters when that harm is being done to his loved ones. he’ll still do it, because he will do anything for the eggs, but it matters, and that means that he has already started the process of self-inflicting those much-demanded consequences

I apparently have neighbors today and they get to see me fighting wasps with my windshield wipers and trying to scare them away by slamming the door shut repeatedly.

Not only is Marvel not mentioning Sam in other projects annoying af, but it’s also incredibly unrealistic. You mean to tell me that Scott of all people would reference Steve’s Cap and the airport fight, but wouldn’t drop at any point that he’d once fought the current Captain America and that the only reason he was even at the airport fight in the first place was because the current Captain America in question, Sam Wilson, had recruited him???
Idk I just think that Scott genuinely seems like the type who would be like “woah Sam’s Cap now? That’s awesome!” even offhandedly. I’m not saying there had to be a big scene of congratulations or something, I just think that it would’ve been nice to hear a shoutout.
*Sidenote: even in NWH, Peter could’ve been like, “Umm why are they adding a shield to this? I might’ve only met Sam for 5 minutes, but there’s no way Cap sanctioned this.”
*In She-Hulk: “The prosecutor who put you away is Captain America’s Brother?!”
Ijs… it’s not that hard to write a ten second throwaway line that acknowledges Sam.

I absolutely love humans are space orcs, so here’s a three prompts.
1: Body swap.
If two species find each other weird, can you imagine the reactions to suddenly BEING in that body?
It’s one thing to inspect something from afar, it’s another thing to be the thing your inspecting.
Bonus points if one of them have a disability either mental or physical.
“Damn this feels like shit how do you put up with this stuff?”
2: hallucinations, illusions, and dreams.
Most aliens don’t have these, and their minds don’t conjure up stuff for shits and giggles, so seeing something that isn’t there is a very foreign concept to them.
The way humans hyperfixate or insert themselves into scenarios feels way to real for aliens already, and they just don’t know how to handle someone getting lost in their own mind.
Aliens DO have mental disabilities, but their brains are much less prone to them because they aren’t designed like some kid put it together with glue and popsicle sticks before having to tape it back together after the 27th time it falls apart.
A: “Your brain is so complex!”
H: “Oh, thank you!”
A: “in a bad way.”
Dreams are the weirdest to them, because it’s not just one or two things popping up in your vision, but instead a whole landscape. AND they’re unconscious.
When humans tell them about their dreams, they want to transfer them to a mental facility, but you can’t exactly do that to a whole species.
Especially with nightmares.
3: Australia, Florida, Oceans, and “Fun facts!”
Earth is space Australia already, but what if they just went to the actual thing?
After hearing all about weird human anatomy, they wonder about the other anatomy their planet has to offer.
Fun fact! Here’s a creature that can kill you in seconds. Fun fact! Look at this freak of nature. Fun fact! This thing hides in the blind spots of god. Fun fact! Run.
A: “Hey human, why are you scared of the arainds?”
H: “I’m sorry, they just look like spiders and I have arachnophobia.”
A: “Whats arachnophobia?”
H: “Fear of spiders. Most humans have it”
A: “Wait, that’s a trait humans share? Why?”
H: “Creatures like spiders, snakes and wasps have terrorized our species for so long, that the fear of them had wormed its way into our very DNA and traumatized a whole species.”
A: “oh….. ok”
