#i hate caterpillar

[msexcelfractal]

I used to believe that bugs were little robots. Lots of people do, it’s the prevailing opinion next to “i’ve never thought about it”. Then I watched a mother wasp mourn her child. An animal who stretched after a nap and did little dances when her daughters returned from flight. Now she is opening her fourth capped hexagon and finding a pale white stillborn. She grasps the baby gently in her jaws and does not put it down for over 24 hours. Carries her loss, pacing back and forth the length of her enclosure. It is not the behavior of a robot.

So I think about the prior odds. Scenario A, bugs are robots. Why do I believe that? Because they are so tiny. Because if they are not robots then my world [where “insect exterminator” is a job title and I can buy a can of mass death at home depot] does not make sense. They must be insignificant.

The wasp makes me reconsider. Scenario B: her kind are like mine. cry when we are sad and happy when we play. Has this feature evolved many times? Or is it common to all the children of the precambrian worm? Every shark in the ocean swimming in their own feelings. Every bird and every cat knowing the thrill of being alive? The wasp made me realize that my whole moral picture is wrong. We’re not alone on this planet,

#the prevailing thepry is bee dances communicate info #i dont think thats all #they dance because they are happy to see each other #the info is communicated by antennae tapping #I think people hate wasps because they remind us that insects are not insignificant. #If I disrespect her I can be stung - she is no longer insignificant. #bug #interesting: tunicates are closer to human ancestry than arthropods. adult tunicates have secondarily lost concsness - baby tuni r lil worms #I love wasps. I love the caterpillars who are eaten by the wasps. I no longer see a contradiction. #(The contradiction is industrial humanity terraforming six continents in 400 years) #the contradiction is 100 billion living minds in cages #the problem (when humans treat humans like animals) is that humans treat animals like dirt to step on #5AM

Everytime Danny Johnson is drawn with a big nose and tan skin, an angel gets its wings

#dead by daylight #ghostface #ghostface dbd #danny johnson #jef olsen #‘he was born in utah! so hed be white’ you know nothing #he has a nose with a bump and high cheekbones and soft eyes that turn downwards and unnerving brown eyes #and tanned skin and black hair and a mole on the left side of his neck and a bigger bottom lip than small #when he smiles he has crows feet and his eyebrows aren’t caterpillars but are full #his teeth are perfect and white except his k9s are weirdly pointed #he has a very detail routine and narcolepsy #he chews on pens and hates gum and taps his fingers when upset #he talks with his hands but only a little and is the most charming guy around #hes perfect and pretty and charismatic and none of u know him like i do

Or maybe instead of stretching your belly, you could stretch that gap between your thighs?

MHA used-to-be-anon here with updates and reactions after finishing season one!

Aizawa is so relatable, but what's up with that sleeping bag? It's a huge mood and yet it also makes me think that his dearest-held dream is to be a caterpillar instead of a hero.

Of all the Quirks, no one has a bully detector? HOW is Bakugo in UA, honestly. Like, everyone overlooked the unstable bully vibes reeking from him because Ooh, Exploding Hands?? Unbelievable. I expect better integrity from such an esteemed institution

On the same note, I expect Bakugo to get an excellent redemption arc in which he actually apologizes for being a huge dick to Deku for YEARS, or I expect his intense and irrational pride to drive him to become a villain whose very existence haunts Deku

Deku continues to be cute af, no notes <3 Go little rockstar etc etc

French Laser Boy hit me like a poleaxe to the face, but I do like him

Momo really said "tits out" with her superhero outfit, huh? Respect.

Help Shoto is SO overpowered, it's hysterical. Cool af too

Emergency Exit Iida hjfhjghf, I love that uptight trust fund baby

I adore Uraraka and Tsu! Queens.

The principal is an animal???? Is that some kind of Quirk?????

Hmm. Don't like Mr. Hand Man. And I wanna know what's up with his face! The students looked horrified when the face-covering hand flew off, and then he shielded his face with his own hand until he could fix it. Like, that probably shouldn't be your biggest priority rn bud.

Side note: does All Might just. casually spray blood from his mouth when he talks sometimes?? And we're all fine with that?? Ok.

Thanks for the accidental recommendation, I'm greatly enjoying this <3

im so glad you're enjoying it! the hard thing with mha is that i DO actually really enjoy it, like as far as anime goes it's far from the worst one ive watched and especially in later seasons it actively becomes some of my favourite anime ever, but i feel like you still need to like... dismiss it? if you admit to watching it? and it's literally just because the fandom are so obnoxiously terrible about everything that you literally have to be like 'yeah i watch mha BUT NOT LIKE THOSE GUYS I WATCH IT IN A NORMAL WAY I SWEAR' and it's a bit frustrating lmao. so being able to rec it and someone actually enjoy it without taking the piss is really nice bc alas it IS something i love :)

#to answer some questions: #1) yes aizawa would absolutely rather be a caterpillar than a hero #2) hero society does not care about shitty personalities if the quirk is cool enough. this becomes a plot point. hi touya it's me again #3) people wanted bakugo's redemption to come sooner but one of my favourite things about bakudeku as a pairing (platonic or otherwise) #is that they're given the time to CRAWL through each milestone in their relationship. idk it feels true to what childhood friendships #are really like and while i get that's frustrating for people who really hated bakugo im firmly of the mind that like. he was and is a chil #and i feel like the writers take that into consideration and PERSONALLY i really like it #4) GO LITTLE ROCKSTAR DEKU FR BEST MC EVER <3 #5) mr hand man is doing his best he is an unmoisturised 20 year old trying to get on the housing market give him a BREAK #6) yes about all might. if there's one thing he's gonna do it's spit blood on every mf in a metre radius #ask #mha

this is how amira looked as a baby ( atlas moth caterpillar) a face truly only a parent could love....

bonus: vali's baby pics (cecropia moth caterpillar):

#as they develop through their first instar they start to develop more and more vaguely humanoid features #usually coinciding with a change in diet #by the end of their first instar they kinda look like a caterpillar with a human face which is uh....uncanny and frightening??? #i both love and hate my lore :) #lore. #biology. #amira.txt #valeriu.txt #bugs #caterpillars #i can already hear it now: 'thanks blair! i hate it!' #well i love it so there

[sketchysketchiness]

Big Mama, Dinky, and Boomer! They needed some pointless humor for a show that is all about hunting and killing your best friend...

#the fox and the hound #classic disney #disney illustration #disney birds #i always hated the dinky and boomer bits in the movie #like- let the little caterpillar live!

Every time someone mentions Junji Ito's The Human Chair as if Junji Ito was the one who like. came up with the idea. I feel the need to go "ummmm actually that was an adaptation of Ranpo Edogawa's famous short story published in 1925" and this instinct is deeply annoying to everyone so I shut it down but also I did not read all of Edogawa's short story collection for nothing. And btw you can easily find pdfs of The Human Chair online for free yayayay I haven't read the Junji Ito version of it but I probably should :P

#my favorites of edogawa's short stories i read were the psychological test and the red chamber #this was like 4 or 5 years ago but i really enjoyed them #others were........ not as good. notably i hated uh. what was the ableist one. the caterpillar?

[pasta-connoisseur]

People are like ‘ohhhh the spiders the snakes the kangaroos’ when talking about Australia but what about the humble drop bear???? The lovely bush turkeys??? Those stupid little fish that go blorp at the beach???

But also where’s the fear for those caterpillars that migrate in lines and have spines that cause severe reactions??? The other caterpillars that spit acid at you? What about the fish that if you step on it you might be paralysed???

#I ❤️ dropbears #/s #no real reason for this I just think that animals are bewildering #but also I hate caterpillars #just me things

the ideas i'm having right now vs. my ability to express them and myself

#im the one in the toilet btw #i just have to be like this for a second i promise i'm not looking for anything and will likely delete this in the morning #but damnnnnn ... i guess to put it nicely (toward myself). i am not where i want to be with my writing at all right now #and i'm so FRUSTRATED #i reread something of mine the other day and i was just like. yuck. i hate myself. #and it's probs just a weird extension of this whole... dysphoria thing im going thru right now but #YEESH I WANT TO EVOLVE #i feel like a big fat caterpillar ready to become a butterfly but idk how the hell to make my cocoon #part of me thinks im in the cocoon but......... it's been a long *ss time in here if so lmao #anyway thats just to say i have two ... or three bomb *ss ideas that i just can't put on paper right #and im not really satisfied with the dabi thing either even tho. i really wanted to be #and it sucks bc all i wanna do is be on here BUT I'M SCARED #hence why my ask responses have been. ok i wont lie. nonexistent #but i think abt my ideas every day and then just fold them up and put them away bc i think if i wait they'll get better #AND THEY NEVER DOOOOOOO #arggggggggggggg its making me so angry #but that's all #hopefully i can write this idea out soon and be free #cuz thats my dream #among bettering my writing along with myself #but hehehe im probs just tired #sorry to be a downer!!! i go beddy bye now #caitie blabs #delete later

so I was reminded BMC exists recently and was listening to the original Two River recording and omg I’m obsessed with Will Connolly’s voice

and now I’m finally listening to his original music

chills

I literally cannot put into words how much I love the sound of his music

#caterpillars of the commonwealth has been on repeat for the past 24 hours #i can’t get over it #will connolly #bmc #look I kinda hate that every post about Will Connolly is also tagged for BMC but like #it’s the only demographic I’m connected to so #be more chill
