#Bug Incident

[cattytheartcat]

Ok ik this is old drama, but it seems rlly important now

'Bug Enthusiast or pest enthusiast?' A thread documenting some disturbing content from Pitaya, who could possibly be IdolMantis.

First, I'd like to announce two things; first, don't FUCKING harass anyone involved, and DONT harass Idol himself despite his predatory behavior. I don't condone harassment, witch hunting nor death/suicide baiting. Second, this thread is for, specifically, this reblog chain with a mutual and myself because of some alarming anons talking about Idol and his dark past due to an accidental like/reblog.

This is going to become a thread, as there's a shit ass 10 image limit aughg-

Now, lets dive in. These are from a wayback machine archive, which I can provide links to at the end.

As you saw in the original reblog chain, IdolMantis seems to have had multiple names in the past. Raisinrat, UnicornMantis, Bugcore, Ackee, Pitaya, all these names seem to be connected to Idol himself. Now, Idol is STILL active to this day on Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter, however he posts for his two web comic series; Monsters and Girls and Bugtopia.

As the two comics aren't anything harmful, they do involve quite alot of implied sexual content with mainly lesbian couples, some of which are drawn to look more androgynous or masculine. If you are under 18 I advise NOT to search out these comics, just to be safe. Idk I don't feel like minors should really get involved in that stuff but someone can correct me if needed. I do not know Idol's gender identity nor sexuality, and it doesn't seem like he's tryna sexualize lesbianism, so I won't speak further on these comics as its not my place to dictate what's good or bad rep.

However its good to keep these 2 comics in mind as we see what he used to be involved with.

The full callout was made by a Tumblr user titled AckeeLoveMail, which seems to be deactivated by now. The blog is pretty much a "critical" blog, or a callout blog, dedicated to a person named Pitaya, who used to have a blog named Bugcore. Bugcore has been archived, but no other info or images were archived correctly.

Remember, Idolomantises (IdolMantis) calls himself a "Bug Enthusiast" on Twitter. I don't know if these two pages are the same, though considering Idol's obsession with bugs... its an alarming possibility.

[Lol remember how we could customize our blogs]

Anyway, there's two main links here; the Bugcore blog link, and "The Callout". That link takes us here;

Notice how its said that he deletes posts and claims people just hate him for no reason.

Hmm....

Also, the beginning of the callout sounds familiar....

Lil offnote, but its said here that he identifies as non-binary. Currently he draws very sexual content of predominantly feminine identifying characters. Again I can't say much, but I do know that I've seen alot of people show concern on masculine ID'ing ppl consume or create content that sexualizes lesbian couples. Again, someone can correct me on that.

Anyway, second part of the callout.

The evidence:

This one is just... weird? Idk. Anyway bc of shitty image limit this is part 1 of... god knows how many posts.

okay so a while back I mentioned I was really unhappy with the older designs I had for the pines twins, so I decided to completely re-do them. not sure why I didn't give them both glasses in the first place honestly. hey have you noticed how often I just draw characters standing in a white empty space

#gravity falls #mabel pines #dipper pines #lab creations #I removed dipper's horrible soul patch thing that I gave him in the 10 years later comic. that was an awful decision #I think dipper's been through 15 different incarnations of his journals because he got the bookbinding bug from ford #but he sticks to this design for paranormal stuff + gf related adventuring logs #the divet in dipper's ear isn't from anything exciting I think it was some sort of piercing incident [PROJECTING FROM EXPERIENCE]

Thinking about Luffy with a really short attention span who still listens to Sanji talk about cooking and the All Blue for hours. Ofc he has the biggest smile on his face the entire time even though he dosent know half of what Sanjis talking about. He's just happy seeing Sanji happy!!

#And ofc sanji who hates bugs but will still listen to luffy talk about alllllll the different types of beetles he found exploring #He still screams and kicks luffy out of the kitchen when he tries to bring him a beetle #But makes luffys favorites for dinner as a way of thanks #After that incident Luffy starts bringing him cool fish he catches and that gets him a much better reaction #Cause then Sanji tells him all about the type of fish he caught as he cooks it and Luffy gets good food and a happy sanji <3 #Op #One piece #Love them love them SM #Lusan #Sanlu #Luffy #Sanji

I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE!

#I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING #IT DOESN'T HAVE TO OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN #HA #MY GOD THAT FEELS LIKE TWO DECADES OF RELIEF #and I found out yesterday. that this year. next winter. it IS two decades. exactly. this is the year. every day i am shown new reminders #that keep me going in my mission to relearn to fully and instinctually trust my self #ever since [redacted therapist] asked me point blank and my IMMEDIATE response was complete disbelief #a firm 'you think there's any universe where i'd feel like i could trust myself? after my nonstop history of failures and being horrible?' #tone “No!” of disbelief #and a horrible way-too-harsh laugh that bolted out before I could strangle it off and stop it. #that woman never coddled my feelings any time I spoke something alarming or bullshit and that was so helpful to me #and the tone she let exist in her voice when she responded to me with a very uncharacteristic “Oh Katie.” #was so. so much more agonizing for me. than her responding with an immediate logical slam-dunk of the truth about healthy behavior and stuf #anyway ramble over i'm so tired. i've done so much trauma work this week i am Drained emotionally #now i see what the past several months but especially especially #the baffling (to me) infuriating out-of-control-speedrun-somatic-processing + every-health-condition-flaring slog that December and January #were for me when I hadn't expected anything to be wrong #...and the extremely specific way this certain zone and particular incident kept coming up over and over and over and over and OVER was not #a bug. it was a feature. thank goodness i trust myself for little things now bc that's the only way i was able to get to this other side #and look back and suddenly realize that my subconscious and body knew what they needed and had a plan in progress the whole time. just like #i rationally say I trust them to have and do. #and that perhaps maybe. for real for real instead of just TELLING myself hard enough a lie that i trust my self and i trust my body and tha #they always know their own needs and timing if really slow down and listen to them f u l l y #anyway. yeah. bye haha i need to stop oversharing on the internet #trauma evolution #shh katie #personal #my god. i wished for this day more than i wished for anything else my whole life. all these many many many many years. what magic. #add to journal #abuse

I haven’t been insane about Vi enough lately so time to pour out some random thoughts. free association thinking time:

been thinking about her “It's my savings. I wanna be rich, okay? So I can travel, eat well, buy cool stuff… So no one can say I can't do something!” And none of the following will really be insightful or revelatory because it’s just what she says here but. yeah! that’s vi! the main reason she’s so big on money is because she has to be to get what she wants out of life! it’s what lets her say no to people telling her what to do, and that’s important to her because she has no choice but to be independent and support herself. because no one else will. No one at the Hive had anything positive or supportive to say about her being an explorer until she went out and did it (to a ridiculously successful degree, too. I have to wonder if/how it might’ve differed if she was on a regular accomplishment level team. not the one leading them all to the mission to the Hive). she never had a choice not to be. I could also see that being a little part of why she starts out not really being a teamwork person. past experiences have taught her she can’t rely on anyone else for support. (does make me wonder about what if she’d met Chubee before leaving the Hive. obviously she still would’ve left, but how might even a bit of support have changed other things?)

I feel like we don’t talk about the fact that The Beemerang Is Also Knives enough

ok so at one point there was this post talking about people with money and how it affects their life like. if you can afford to get a nanny then you can only do the fun parts of childcare and when you stop feeling like taking care of the kid you can just hand them to someone else to take them away. and again likely not especially revelatory but I would guess that’s the kind of way queen bianca handled the bees as her daughters (she does care about them. absolutely. but not in the same hands-on attached way as we usually associate with parents) and thinking about how that kind of treatment would then apply to vi....hm

in universes where discussions of Gender and Pronouns etc happen I think she has moments where she gets frustrated with the everything of Being Referred To and Having Complicated Identity She Hasn’t Quite Figured Yet and is like. gender is cancelled how dare you refer to me. but especially anyone else calls me a girl ever i will be stabbing them

also I think a lot about what circumstances she finds out about gayness/Gender being things. and whether she’s thought about it in herself before and whether she’d been dismissed on it/told it wasn’t a thing etc. most circumstances she ends up angry about the finding out times because of (un)consicious internal conflict stuff

underground tavern stuff implies she was definitely doing quests and stuff for money with them precanon. would kill to know what specifically it was. but also the first talk with utter implies that she was doing stuff off that questboard as well which is even more intriguing. utter’s spy also implies you don’t have to be an explorer to do them but otherwise you would think you did I feel. so again very curious what was up there

#inspired by that girl blorbos post and also me trying to think about where in the game they drop facts and such about precanon stuff w her #the urge to try and fic about the stuff between her leaving the hive and showing up at the association....strong again #'the hive didn't do anything' my ass. vi might have also been a jerk but it's just that she was the more obvious #easily labeled incident version of it. she was active while her treatment was the subtle passive neglect type of bad treatment #complex situation and also. yeah #an aquila original #vi bug fables #bug fables #also featuring funky gender lesbian stuff because thats not even headcanon. to me #hopefully the reasoning out stuff doesn't just come out like a load of nonsense #vi's one of those characters where I definitely feel comfortable in writing her on a basic level but some parts I'm super insecure about #and the part with her is in really capturing the complexities of her backstory and family issues #and the thing is it's like. I have to remind myself that some parts of how canon did her on that are actually decent #and I should pay attention to those complexities. but then also canon definitely did some of their 'this hasn't really been earned' #resolution stuff on her. mostly thinking about the postcanon dialogue with Bianca. it's jsut too much of a jump for that for me #and it's not even that I necessarily think bianca's dialogue is out of character. it's that I'm contemplating whether it would've #made more sense for vi to get angry about it. like. #ok so. sometimes i think about what coming out to my family might be like. and I've come to the conclusion that if they were just accepting #despite the fact that it would be best case scenario I'd be angry about it. because they've said some shitty stuff in the past. in general #they've made me feel unsafe about myself. so no actually you don't get to just suddenly be chill about it now fuck you. #it doesn't change the past hurts #and I could see Vi being like that too. even if part of her is happy about getting what she wanted to start with she's pissed about #only getting it now. with a side helping of also wondering if the approval /now/ is only because she's been so successful about it #what if she hadn't been so specially favored by elizant? what if she hadn't been on the team that saved the world? why did she (maybe) have #to earn the approval she should've had from the start? #also not gonna get into this one right now but tweaking her story with jaune to acknowledge that theyre both at fault in different ways #(again). would be nice #but now I'm definitely veering into repeating myself type rambling territory so

watching a video on rabies i hadnt seen before and they're really stressing not touching bats that are on the ground adn i am thinking so hard about the time i found the bat on the driveway at the house in Japan and just really thinkoing about it but more pressingly really thinking about immediately afterwards when middle child got jealous that I saw a bat (i did not touch it) (I told the landlords and they also did not touch it but moved it out of the way) that he reached over the balcony railing and grabbed a bat out of its nest (WHY)

#I THINK ABOUT BAT GRAB INCIDENT SO OFTEN. WHY DID HE DO THAT #i dont actually know why i knew not to touch the bat did i know about rabies or was it just #extrapolating my bug rule (dont touch if not sure) #Con stop yapping

is anyone else getting a bug where your sims get invited to dates/festivals/etc at a certain lot and then upon accepting go to a fully unrelated lot, and can’t even travel to where they should be because you can’t travel during active events?

#turns out the vet clinic incident was not a one time deal #I just want to know because if it's not a bug then I have to do Mod Folder Whack-a-Mole

hoooo boy this one was tough to get through

#The Magnus Protocol #6 #Pls like and subscribe gamers I put so much work into the polyps to make them look like they’re coming out of his body 😂 /j #But AAAAAAAAAAAAA I-I that was rough #I generally like the horror the way TMA/P presents it #But like statements and incidents regarding the corruption or the slaughter ewhwhwhehwhwheeeewwwwwwww no #Can’t deal with it #I don’t like bugs namely and like burrowing into things #Like I listened to MAG 6 last night for the first time and then like could not handle that that was ewwwwww #Jane Prentiss can literally leave #Anyway so there was that but I did enjoy making this #To cope with the horrors with humor hahahahahaahaahaha #Then gosh all the things happening in the office like I’m very worried for Samama and it’s like his third shift #And Colin’s probably so angry with the computers bc he knows they’re listening but they won’t tell him what’s wrong but also JMJ ERROR HUHH #Eeeeeek #well we survived another week of the horrors let’s get to the next one hahaha

Reigen is so real for having a bug phobia, I must say.

#had an incident today #mp100 #reigen arataka #fellas #is it i abnormal to see a spider of some sort slowly crawling on the ground of your garage and immediately run back inside #to stand on a chair and try to erase the image of furry spiders from your mind #god it makes me SHUDDER WITH THE MEMORY #going to cry myself to sleep bow just thinking about bugs i cant #EWEUEHHGGNN #its not even a hate thing i just literally cannot stand to look at bugs becaue it makes my skin itchy and head do flips. #so yeah #reigen is so real for having a bug phobia #im not projecting shut the fuck up-

Oh, I see you have a problem with Windows! Have you tried running the troubleshooter? Oh, it didn't work? Have you tried rebooting, or updating, or reinstalling drivers, or running sfc /scannow or DISM? Oh, what's this? None of that worked because they're intentionally empty solutions? Just reinstall Windows. You're supposed to reinstall your OS every several months, anyway. (Forget about the times when you didn't need to do that. They don't exist, silly!

#Not about a specific incident but I have windows in general #ESPECIALLY the dreaded 0x000009c bug (can't recall if that was what it was called)

Carlin Playthings Kmart “Dolphin” Ring Toss Water Game

Please don’t re-post my images/gifs/videos, thank you! 🧡

Here it is! Finally all cleaned up and restored!

This guy was in BAD shape when I got it, filled with nearly opaque murky water and it’s axle snapped, but it’s now about as good as it’s gonna get! The quality of this game is dubious, admittedly, as it’s made with pretty cheap plastic. The yellow ring around the tank is so thin and flimsy that it’s nearly rubber-like? It’s bizarre. But I’m AMAZED that the plug is still usable!

The design is definitely unique as far as these games go, having no pushable buttons, just a wheel shaped tank you must try to spin and stop at just the right moment to attempt to catch a ring or two. It’s going to be nearly impossible to catch all of them because of this, as caught rings will slip off the pegs each time you try again. I don’t believe you’re supposed to catch them all though, considering yellow rings are worth no points at all according to this game. You’ll be lucky if you catch even just two rings, I still have yet to be able to. Part of what makes it so tricky is the pegs being set fairly close to the rear tank wall, making it so rings have a very small area to perfectly slide in. It’s not too fun, but I’ll definitely add points for originality. Good job, Dean. You did your best. Those still aren’t dolphins though.

But yeah! It’s been a journey with this guy, and I’m happy to finally bring you all an ending update to The Milk Water Incident.
