Much like Theb Eetle themselves, The Beetle Weekly is back by unpopular demand.
What better way to follow up Bram Stoker's masterpiece than by reading Richard Marsh's marshterpiece, The Beetle?
Or The Beetle: A Mystery, or The Peril of Paul Lessingham: The Story of a Haunted Man. This book has a lot of titles.
On December 7, 2023, read the first three chapters of The Beetle to learn why approximately ten people on Tumblr and Discord spent the entirety of the year roasting an obscure novel from 1897. If you make it that far, consider sticking around for the rest.
On a more serious note, please visit the About page and read the content warnings carefully. I'm not an expert by any means, but if you have questions, feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks!

OC-tober 3: Old OC
I have been meaning to redesign this 6(?) year old oc for a while…. i always liked him. I think she’s gonna be a Bite Club monster of the week lol :P He’s a funny little bug (roach/beetle) guy.
[ID: A digital illustration of the artist’s original character (he/she). She is a humanoid creature with pale orange bug-like antennae, pale brown skin, short, messy brown hair, and two sets of visible fangs. He wears goggles with large circular lenses that obscure his eyes, as well as a light yellow t-shirt, yellow overalls, and dark teal shoes. She is sitting in a squatting position with arms crossed, smiling and looking ahead. The background is comprised of abstract strokes of blue, orange, and red. End ID]

Since Nath is apparently the Honey Senpai of the Boys Squad in the Scarlet Beetle and Ikati Black au… Ouran Host Club Quotes?
Alya: Think about what he said to you earlier.
(Flashback) Nathaniel: *Wearing a floatie with pink lambs printed on* Just looks cuter this way!
Alya: He’s not being as sweet an innocent as you think!
Max: I agree. Try putting a subject at the end of the sentence, and you’ll see.
Adrien/Nino/Kim/Ivan: Hmm…
(Flashback) Nathaniel: Just looks cuter this way… Don’t I?
Adrien/Nino/Kim/Ivan: HE PLANNED THAT?!
Marinette: That’s Nath for ya.
—
Kim: ...You nasty pervert
Luka: AH!!
Max: What kind of foreplay is that?! *Points to Adrien wearing a blindfold*
Luka: It's...not like that! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!
—
Alix: The day before school started, one of the kids in my neighborhood got some gum in my hair. It's a real pain to get gum outta long hair, so I decided to cut it all off. I didn't care if I looked like a dude, you know.
Adrien: Hosts should never refer to ourself as a "dude!" MA-MA! Alix is using those dirty boy words again.
Ivan: I'm sorry, but who is "Mama?"
Nino: Based on squad position, I assume it's me.
—
Kim: Sex Pixie!
Marc: Sicko!
Marc/Kim: YOU WEAR TOO MUCH MAKE-UP!
—
Luka: Well, so far it looks like a simple inferiority complex, huh?
Juleka: He's always being compared to Adrien, so that's why he feels such animosity towards him. His cousin is more attractive, more popular, and a better martial artist than he is. I think he's just letting his jealousy get the best of him.
Luka/Juleka: It's totally normal and way boring. We're going to find something more entertaining!
—
Juleka/Rose: Luka’s a perv for blondie!
Luka: Would you jerks quit calling me a perv?! (Luka’s a perv for blondie!) I am nothing more than a mere friend! (Luka’s a perv for blondie!) There’s nothing wrong with that! (Luka’s a perv for blondie!) You guys wouldn’t understand anyway! (Luka’s a perv for blondie!) Would you morons cut it out already?! I’m seriously about to be really pissed! Shut up before I beat your faces in!
Juleka/Rose: Luka’s a perv for blondie!
—
Juleka: Hey, Luka!
Rose: We’re coming in! *Opens the door*
Luka: *Putting a blindfold on Adrien while they’re crouched on the floor* You see? With the blindfold on, you can’t see anything, and then the earplugs help muffle any sound.
Adrien: Oh. Yeah! You’re right!
Ivan: … You nasty pervert.
Rose: What kind of foreplay is that?!
Luka: It’s not like that!
—
Kim: NOW YOU’VE DONE IT! *Holds up a purple teddy bear drenched in tea*
Ivan: It’s done, all right. Wasn’t my fault, though.
Kim: WHAT?! You’re the one who bumped into the table!
Ivan: Only because Adrien was running away.
Nino: We were trying to catch him because we wanted to dress him up in cosplay.
Adrien: I’m always cosplaying, you know.
—
Kim: Be careful… You don’t want to wake Nathaniel. *Points to Nathaniel sleeping soundly at his desk*
Adrien: He’s sixteen and still takes afternoon naps? Well, we’re gonna have to tell him about his teddy bear at some point, so let’s just wake him up and apologize-
Ivan/Kim/Max/Nino: *Hiding behind a desk* No, wait! Don’t get any closer to Nath!
Nino: Come back! It’s safe over here!
—
Nino: He’s awake! We’ll have to use a substitute! We’ve got no choice!
Nathaniel: *Wakes up and sees a stuffed rabbit in place of his bear* …
Nino/Kim/Max/Ivan: *Panicking*
Nathaniel: … *Rips the head off of the bunny*
Nino: NO! NOT MY BUNNY RABBIT!
Ivan: HE’S GONNA COME AFTER US NEXT!
Kim: HE JUST WANTED HIS TEDDY BEAR!
Nathaniel: *Sees his bear drenched with tea* … Who’s responsible for this? Who got my teddy dirty?
Nino/Kim/Max/Ivan: SOMEONE HELP! DON’T LET HIM HURT US, MARC!
Marc: *Reading; ignoring everything* He wanted some tea, and decided to have a drink.
Nathaniel: … *Cute again* I see! So that’s why his face is all dirty!
