#**Bug List

[ratcandy]

today i had a discussion with someone on the things we call scorpions that are not scorpions . because entomologists love to call things by names they are not actually.

ended up with this little . presentation. guide. thing. there are probably many, many more, but this is what we came up with on the Spot

#could've added that scorpionflies are not even true flies since they're not in Diptera #but if we want to start listing things we call flies that are not flies then we would need a whole separate massive list #clamtalk #ok i'm done talkign for today sorry. Very talkative. Much to say #bugs #bug tw #arachnids #arachnophobia #entomology #scorpions #ask to tag #bugposting

[cryptcatz]

found an old google doc i made of my favorite bat species. you should suggest more species for my list pls

ID:

A post describing 6 types of bats as follows:

Northern Ghost bat

Angry face

Primarily eats moths and apparently likes to sing while doing so. Fuckin superb you funky little ghost bat

Desert long-eared bat

What's he so happy about???

Apparently they get scorpion stings to the face a lot but it's okay because they just don't care and swoop down to eat them whole (stinger and poison sack included) off the ground anyways

So actually he's probably happy about all the scorpion murder he commits

Pallid bat

Ears

Greater false vampire bat

Can apparently eat like anything. Bugs? Yes. Frogs? Yes. Birds? You bet.

Like straight up cannibalizes bats smaller than it.

Kind of a killing machine overall really

Wrinkle faced bats

Ugly but full of love

has a flap of skin they use as a facemask when they nap. Fancy.

Their weird skull structure lets them eat a wider range of food than most other bats. So that's rad.

Frog eating bat.

They eat frogs

Fun at parties. Always brings fun food (frogs)

End ID.

(thank you @friendlybat for the ID!!)

#obviously it isn’t particularly informative mostly just a list of species to do further research on etc #bats #animals #cute bats #northern ghost bat #long eared bar #pallid bat #vampire bat #vampire bats #this is just a preview the actual list is longer #i like making lists. lol #especially of stuff i like #like animals #personal #am considering making a list like this for bugs birds etc #i kiiinda have some half done ones #hits i guess

I’m seeing a weird uptick in people commenting nasty stuff on people’s non-cat/dog pet stuff again and not so gentle reminder:

Your phobia or dislike of certain animals does not give you the right to harass and bully people who love and share them.

Use the blacklist tag like a normal human being, and leave people who love rats or snakes or bugs etc. the fuck alone.

#pets #bully behavior #rats #snakes #bugs #stop being little shits Jfc #grow up and block the person #black list the tag #wtfever to curate your experiences online #but you don’t go after someone for sharing their fucking pet spider or whatever?? #it literally has nothing to do with you #phobias are NOT AN EXCUSE TO BE A SHITHEAD #I expect half of y’all not to see this because you’ve already grown up enough to black list words and hashtags #right? #we’re moving on from highschool behavior? #RIGHT?? #here we go #tw: spiders #tw: snakes #tw: rats #tw: bugs

gale's mossy beard bug fix

if you have a problem with gale's beard looking mossy in the game (which is a known bug since at least patch 3 or 4), you can do the following to resolve it:

go to your nvidia control panel or your graphic card equivalent

go to manage 3d settings

set the anisotropic filtering to x16

I see a lot of definitions of what exactly constitutes a bug, so I want to know what you guys think makes a bug.

So if you think that earthworms are bugs but spiders aren't, you'd click "An above definition + land worms" and then say "insects only" in the tags.

I wish I had one more option so I could just have a "see results" button but I won't. 😭 Please reblog so the rest of bugblr can see it!

#tumblr polls #bugblr #insectblr #invertblr #is that a thing? #please reblog for containment breach #everything on this list is a bug (to me) #cicada? bug #butterflies? bug #argiope my beloved? bug #millipede? bug #crab? wet bug #giant african land snail? slimy bug #sea slug? wet AND slimy bug #earthworm? wiggly bug #nematodes? wet AND wiggly bug

Biggest twist tmagp could pull on the fandom is if Colin survives all 3 seasons

#ive seen so many 'whos going to die first' polls with colin pulling more than 50% #guy's got a target on his back as big as fr3-d1's bug list #the magnus protocol #original post #my magnus protocol stuff #colin becher

The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer

Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.

Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.

I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.

#rottmnt #rottmnt raph #raph #don't worry then he'll freak out and buy you a new one #anyway! raph rules!!!!! #and i think the movie has made some people interpret him as like the 'responsible mom' character which is a bummer #bc that's really not him at all #like this is not even NEARLY a complete list of raph's shenanigans #he's a hooligan a fool a dumbass (affectionate) #he loves big flashy exciting fights and does not spare a single thought to stealth 90% of the time #he gets distracted on missions taking selfies with pizza pigeons and wrestlers #and gets annoyed in eps like Bug Busters when leo suggests being more cautious #he would die for his brothers but also he's definitely the type to like. walk into their rooms and sit on them for fun #he values responsibility so much but also makes the most batshit decisions ever #and has probably caused the state of new york thousands of dollars in damages #and he's NOT the boys' dad jesus christ #he grows slightly more serious over the course of the series (out of stress :(() #but at his core he's just a kid who loves fighting and being a hero #and i love him so much ok!!!!!!

The comedy of Trolls getting its flowers finally and being recognized as a fun series after the most recent movie when the first one has had me in a chokehold for years. When I used to have Netflix I would just watch that whenever I wanted to have fun.

Sometimes adulthood is looking at a jukebox musical based on a kids toy, and just deciding "yeah actually this is a good movie."

#every time a trailer drops for a new movie in the trolls franchise i go “this looks stupid” and im always wrong #yes i have seen trolls band together #and im going again #the only thing stopping me from making fanart of trolls is my rwby obsession #trolls #molten rambles #trolls/porco rosso/king arthur legend of the sword/httyd trilogy/kfp trilogy/lord of the rings trilogy #movie list i love bug never talk about #rip to everyone who finds poppy annoying because i think shes delightful

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]

woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people

also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]

(retroactively, on march 27th of 2024, assigning them a full bingo with credit to deep-space-lines. ehehehehe)

#peridots-art #gabriel ultrakill #v1 ultrakill #ultrakill #bots #bugs #drawing them more buggish now... i have a whole chart listing uk characters as bugs and it's so fun #v1 is dragonflyish for many reasons and gabriel (+ council)'s heavily bee-coded but I like drawing him more beetlelike. anyway #eyestrain #blood #gabv1el #< yes gabe's wholeheartedly trying to kill v1 and v1's actively harming him. yes this is ship art. they're having fun #not a thing that I feel I really need to clarify when it comes to ultrakill i just thought it was funny #anyway. yes yes more ultrabright ecstasy-winged gabriel with blood all over him. as to be expected of my ultrakill fanart. however #this obviously isn't my usual style but it WAS pretty fun to draw. i wanted to draw something chaotic and abnormal anyway for this #i kind of wanted it to be a successor to the nov29 gabe post and to mess around with it so. task completed 👍 #there definitely was more i wanted to say here (besides clarifying it's been a year since the act 2 release + that means a lot to me) #but i can't think of anything else so woe! bugs be upon ye #actually aug22 addition: if this inspires your own uk art in any way shape or form. PLEASE tag me in it :]

I love how Kunikida and Dazai are similar in the way that, yeah they both have moral compasses, but good luck figuring out what the hell they actually are

#every day I think abt knkd breaking into the weather station cause the report was wrong #and he also straight up has authority listed as one of his dislikes #and how kunikida knows and has stated that Dazai is wack and a bit fucked up but will always do what needs to be done to help people #he says it in 55 minutes I think #I want to study them like a bug #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd manga #bsd dazai #dazai osamu #bsd kunikida #kunikida doppo #kunikidazai #knkdz #kunikida x dazai

truly love how slowly but surely every companion is turned into a spineless doormat so as not to offend the fragile egos of the lowest common denominator of their playerbase or inconvenience them ever so slightly 💀

#larian has zero integrity when it comes to their own characters and story #it's just sad to witness at this point lmao #i can't believe they 'fixed' gale getting upset over the player denying him useless junk items #which was already nerfed so horribly from ea to the point of where it undermines his story #when he's literally dying slowly and in pain #gale has a list of bugs that render his romance almost unplayable #and this is the absolute non-issue that gets 'fixed' #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #bg3 critical #larian critical
