For a species that’s nearly impossible to breed in captivity, blue death feigning beetles spend A LOT of their time getting intimate with one another

I finally took some decent screenshots of the show so people can actually find the character refs and not just my art if they ever tried to look them up!!
Also for anyone who follows along with my art for the Lucy and Jayce ship, I'm sorry, but this is some of the only content that even comes close to shipping material within the canon 😭😭 I have an enemies to lovers, but this is all solely enemies the entire time. The potential was THERE for them to overlap more with how their goals were similar, it just didn't go that way.

accidentally found a little youtube video on the history of a park in my hometown and have just learned that the lagoon used to be an ice skating rink that was massively popular throughout southwest michigan, and I'm Having Feelings about 1) how much more beautiful and wonderful my hometown was before I was born, and how it's an empty wasteland now and 2) It Used To Get Cold Enough In Michigan For Ice Rinks

oh im gonna hsdgfjk
okay so three+ months ago i discovered I had a Fun Condition called perioral dermatitis. basically, just this Extraordinarily persistent face rash that looks like a bunch of small pustules in a circle around my mouth, but it also went around my nose and eyes. reacts to literally fucking Everything, deeply annoying to treat, even with antibiotics it takes weeks but usually months to clear. causes are ?? can be anything from inhaled steroids, face cream, toothpaste, hormones, etc. basically impossible to pinpoint. i have some guesses about what triggered it but ofc no real way to know for sure.
i go on 90 days of antibiotics. cool, whatever, condition dissipates but doesn't go away entirely. i think nothing of this bc I know even With oral antibiotics, it can still take months.
halfway through this treatment i develop arthritic symptoms. i also think nothing of this bc I have Some sort of illness undiagnosed anyway + family members have it so while I am definitely not happy w this development, I'm resigned.
i finish the pills.
less than 24 hours later, dermatitis has Returned. i know that allowing this to happen makes it worse and last longer. i cannot stress enough how bad it will be for my mental health if this happens. yes this probably sounds overly dramatic but I'm pretty sure watching my face flare up in any way is a legitimate trigger atp after dealing with cystic acne.
anyway. i book an appointment with my gp bc the pharmacist cannot refill the antibiotics. great except the appointment is at the End Of The Month, and I know this is going to be bad in a few days time. like, in the last few hours the inflammation has already accelerated, who knows how bad it'll be then, I'm assuming it'll be like I never even took the pills to start with. i am going to have a nervous breakdown.
mysteriously, the arthritis symptoms have Also started to decrease after stopping the antibiotics. that's weird, I think, that wasn't brought up in the list of side effects when I asked, but the timing is literally exactly when my face started flaring up so I know I definitely don't have those in my system anymore. i look this up, to see if there's a link.
'''acute polyarthritis''' also described as 'drug-induced lupus' are you Fucking Kidding Me
so i am now back as Square Fucking one for this shit, my skin is about to be so goddamn inflamed & I apparently can't even take the drug that was working to clear it up. because it causes inflammation in my joints.
and like i cant really express properly how mad this makes me lmfao because of Course. i spend a solid year on Accutane finally after being deterred for nearly a decade, i get maybe 4 months of enjoying my skin after I'm off of it and then This Shit. can i win?? can i Fucking win??????? no one else in my genepool seems to deal with this shit its just me and ohhh my god i am This close to walking straight into the ocean.

Last week I struggled so much trying to get every character their weekly wants. This week I have almost everything gathered/caught/crafted already.
Just that rare goldfish, rare antlers, a recipe from an event that happened before I played (so I just have to find someone who wants to cook it with me) and like 2 uncommon insects. That's it. Oh and whatever the Watcher's third want is, it's not on the website yet. 6 left out of 100. All done on day one.

Did go to the zoo
It was fun but I almost got stuck in a ditch bc I was going downhill on a brick path and it slanted into a lovely little ditch and had to abruptly stop myself and wait for my mom to come wheel me to level ground 😑
They even had an ADA pathway! Which was up a VERY long hill that was steep as shit and full of turns. Like my mom and cousin had to switch off a couple times pushing me up hill which ngl was kinda embarrassing... oh and the other path, which we went down, basically same fucking shit just less turns 😑😑😑
And it was raining off and on all day which wasn't so bad when it was a drizzle but when you cant hold an umbrella and wheel, you end up holding the umbrella for two people and that ends up soaking your exposed legs and shoes
But it was funny to see the animals that did not like the rain hiding bc the condor was in his little hut and he was staring out like 😒 and staring at us like "what are you freaks looking at?"
And the jaguar who was under her little hide looking up at us like 🥺 "it's wet..."
We did get to see penguins (Humboldt penguins, which don't mind warmer weather! They were enjoying the day and playing), a saggy boobied gibbon mom and her itchy assed son, and vine swinging mate, HUGE lionesses up close! They were right by the glass and they're SO BIG! and an otterly adorable and very photogenic river otter who kept doing laps by the viewing window and would swim right up to the glass, turn to show his belly, turn and belly roll, turn and then come back around again, like they had this down pat! And we saw him following our fingers and so we moved to the land part to see if he'd follow and he did! Then tried to get in the zoo keeper doors and then left sggdgdgdgd
So overall I did have fun even if it was uncomfortable at times with my cousin (I'm usually a huge chatterbox when I'm with people I'm comfortable with, i was pretty quiet), and if the zoo wasnt as ada accessible as promised, and if the gift shop sucked aside from the plushies (but the staff were very nice and the one working on a display moved his cart for me when I was coming around where he was, which was nice bc I was more than happy to go back the way I had come in from)
I dont think I got many good pics bc the rain + it's hard to get pics when you're wheelchair height, but I'll check them later and see if any are worth sharing
