Head and tail end are stuffed w ultra plush fiber fill and the bulk of the body is packed full of weighted pellets that have a nice crunchy sound when you squeeze it. Not weighed yet, but it feels between 1.5 - 2lbs?

there are strange aberrations aboard the HIVE, lively as it can be.
(a HIVE short experiment… fic? drabble? does it count as either if it’s not technically fandom based?)
Spaceships feel claustrophobic and vast at the same time. It comes with being modern marvels, impossibly large machines that traverse the stars as easily as airplanes did the sky. It's admittedly a relative feeling even on ordinary vessels.
The HIVE is far from ordinary.
Rooms upon rooms, hallways that twist and turn oddly and doors that should lead places that don't. All of that's well and good enough, but all it takes is one good glance out at the starry depths of the outside to feel miniscule — to realize that space is it's namesake. It's a slippery slope, and usually at least a little existential.
The HIVE lively despite that, though. Shockingly warm in color for a spacefaring vessel, themed like the name was crafted before the construct. Hexagonal wall decor and metal welded to match, all in hues that contrasted the grey uniforms of the crew. The halls are scarcely ever fully empty, especially on the path to communal areas like the kitchens or open living spaces, and theres always at least a few people trudging along to medbay with sheepish smiles and singed collars.
The designated sleeping quarters — the proper ones with each crewmates number stamped on a metal plaque, CR[and so on], not the honeycomb themed nap spaces, nor the various chambers designated for cryosleep — are afforded keycards and locked doors, but some leave theirs open for visitors to come and go. Things become even more chaotic when the ship is scheduled to dock, what with almost everyone excited to disembark and peruse the wares of the local markets before they set off again. Yes, the ship is lively.
But sometimes it feels like it's more than that.
When the lights dim to replicate proper sleeping conditions, sometimes it can be all too easy to push oneself up from bed, bleary-eyed and yawning. To wander out in search of the restroom, or a late snack while in the company of the silent stars. To step, then pause, then recoil as a boot meets something other than the expected metal floor. To hold up a hand and watch in horror as an ink-like substance drips into it, so dark it leaves no room for shadows to be cast within it.
(To look up, and feel your heart stop as pinpricks of blindingly white light pin you where you stand. Watching. Watched.)
It's something to laugh about later. Something to commiserate about — another prank, the others say with sympathy, another failed attempt to say hello — something to dismiss. Terrifying at first, but ultimately harmless. It’s a fact of life aboard the ship; report it to the captain if you like, they add, and they'll take care of it.
It's easiest to open the comms if you need them, if they aren't just walking around—the door to the captain's quarters is locked even during the day, you see, so the comms are the best bet. (Nobody other than the captain even has access to that room anyway.)
Yes, there are strange aberrations aboard the HIVE, lively as it can be. Odd characters out of uniform and out of place, they stand out like sore thumbs. But the captain claps them on the shoulders and seems, if anything, overjoyed to cause them trouble, often chasing them about with tablet and pen in hand. Shouting about being a proud father to someone they could not look less similar to if they tried one minute, laying in a dramatic pose claiming death the next. Always unconcerned with the circumstances of their arrival, treating each one like a strange friend. No matter how much some of them protest the familiar treatment.
With time, the changing doorways and strange new arrivals that disregard the need to board or disembark normally all become routine. A revolving door of new and old faces amidst the sea of warm metallic colors and grey uniforms.
Perhaps the next station they visit will have another market. The stars make for a beautiful view between pit-stops, as long as you don't stare for too long.
If too much time passes, the doors do grow bored of waiting.

Human reader teasing their cybertronian buddies with earths many creepy crawlies- how do you think Fulcrum, Krok, and Censere would react?
(IDW1/MTMTE) Censere, (IDW1/MTMTE) Fulcrum, & (IDW1/MTMTE) Krok being teased by Human Reader with Creepy Crawlies:
Fulcrum
{He likes you now- he has for a while, but he still doesn’t really like any other humans, or any other Earth things. Especially the animals you have with you- spiders and others.}
{Your pets are partially the reason as for why he wasn’t around you so much- he still felt the same about you for a while, but seeing those animals around/with you just made it all more unpleasant.}
{It’s really just you and Misfire who tease Fulcrum about your pets—Misfire will pick up whatever you have at the time (such as a spider or whatever else), and chase after Fulcrum—you can’t stop him, so you just watch.}
{Sometimes you’ll try to show him one of your pets... he doesn’t stick around for much longer after you reveal it—especially if you try getting closer, or try handing it off to him.}
{You’ve left some of them in Fulcrum’s habsuite before. You could hear his scream across the ship—he bolted out and went to get you (or really anyone else) who would get the animals out of his habsuite.}
{He hears you say his name, and he assumes you’re trying to find him. And, you do reach him, and that’s when he learns you named one of your newer ones after him- you tease him (and so does Misfire) about the name thing.}
Censere
{He’s not really creeped out by your ‘creepy crawlies’ as humans would call them, but he’s admittedly startled whenever he sees one where he wouldn’t expect at the moment- such as in the flowers (sometimes your doing).}
{He’s somewhat fascinated with what you have, and while you do tell him stuff about them, you still find little ways to mess with and tease the NecroBot.}
Krok
{Unlike Fulcrum, he’s not really grossed out- he’s just never really liked/cared for anything organic, until you, that is.}
{He does have to admit, that your pets do sometimes freak him out- mostly when he just least expects it. One time, he entered his habsuite, and found literally all of them in there- he tried his best not to step on any of them.}
{You were once being held by him, and to his surprise, that’s when you just held one of your pets in front of him—it startled him, and he yelped. This is something you start doing pretty frequently—to all of them.}
{He doesn’t really like the feeling of any of them on his servos, so he doesn’t really hold any of them for that long if you ever ask him to.}

tell me about bugs ! /lhnp
Aah ty for the ask this is so general there’s so many facts and things um (edit I didn’t mean to write a whole essay you don’t have to read the whole thing)
Recently I’ve been enjoying learning about spiders which is ever so slightly ironic considering how afraid I was of them and how I still am a bit scared to come across ones I’m not familiar with. Learning about them makes them so much less scary though. A lot of the most venomous and scariest spiders are actually relatively docile and won’t bite unless threatened or they’re a mother with babies. In the US there hasn’t been a death from a black widow bite in 40 years bc their bites are rare and able to be treated. A lot of venomous spiders can actually administer dry bites too or control the amount of venom they inject which is super cool. Since their venom is used to kill prey, when they bite a human it’s usually just in self defense so a lot of bites from deadly spiders aren’t actually that dangerous. Ofc it’s still imperative to seek treatment just in case you have a reaction or they did inject venom (although you’d be able to tell there’s some nasty symptoms). Most cases are able to be treated, too, with anti-venom and while not a pleasant experience they’re rarely deadly.
I feel like there needs to be a picture here to break up this post so uhhhhh here’s a bunch of bees on a clover ( and a Yellowjacket)
Tumblr media
One of my other interests rn is misconceptions/misidentifications. Which ig ties into spider bites. One common myth is that daddy longlegs spiders are super venomous but their fangs are too small to bite humans. This is very wrong for several reason uhh first is that daddy longlegs is a super broad term used to refer to cellar spiders (actual spiders of the araneae order), harvestmen (arachnids in the opilione order so Not Spiders), and crane flies (these are literally flies as the name suggests. They…. They aren’t spiders they have wings they aren’t venomous. Although they do have long legs). Cellar spiders are a little venomous but their venom poses little harm to humans (just a typical insect bite yk) and they rarely bite humans. Harvestmen actually don’t have venom and don’t have fangs just hollow claws used to grip. Which can’t harm people.
anyway harvestman are the absolute silliest guys I love seeing them bounce around

Another quickl thing (I promise I’ll stop soon you invoked a topic I’m incapable of being normal about and gave me no limitations or anything so I’m on a ramble there’ll be no survivors etcetc) is also about flies. A lot of people assume those itty bitty sweat bees that hover around you at the park or whatever are actually more likely to be hoverflies (instead of a real sweatbee)! They only have one set of wings (unlike a bee) and no they can’t sting. I told this all to my friend at a concert who was being very annoyed by the one following her around and after explaining them and marveling over the super cool patterning of the calligrapher flies (specific type of hoverfly) they actually came around and admitted they’re very cool and it was a lovely moment bc once you know more about something then you can accept it more yay woohoo.
Tumblr media
^ the black and yellow is deceiving it only has the one set of wings. If you cared the one pictured is a maize calligrapher specifically . Very common in the US and Canada.
Oh and I got a millipede tatto did you see :]

The bridges leading to nowhere in the Duviri capturas feel messed up in a way that reminds me of getting scared by out-of-bounds areas in games as a kid

I remembered when I had a massive crush on WD Gaster when I was in the UnderTale fandom, and now it’s hitting me like a semi-truck.
I still kinda simp for Gaster tho
i think the funniest part about this is that he. doesn’t exist. like not totally. i’m still waiting for the inevitable day toby fox drops the fact that the mystery man isn’t gaster and also looks nothing like we think LMAO
anyway i’m glad to live in ignorance and make little doodles until then.

Hey Chip, you're smart, what happened to Freddy in Ruin that made him. Like that
Princess Quest ending
Aka; he was torn apart by S.T.A.F.F bots in Fazerblast and Gregory stole his head, leaving him a headless body without a real AI telling it what to do
It's just an aimless giant hulk of metal at this point

" We both come out, you whack the fucker, and we got him. " —🧪Doc
Tumblr media
"Aye aye."
The synth had prepared a wooden baseball bat from one of the dead station crew's lockers. Their mission was to catch a genetically-engineered lifeform aboard an old ATLAS orbital facility.
Difficult, as the creature had some chameleonic qualities. That, and some kind of interstellar big game and/or bounty hunter of some sort was also pursuing it. So when Nero jumped out to whack the supposed polymorph war-mutant's soft fleshy head, the baseball bat instead splintered against the kind of sinews honed from doing more than three pull-ups at each workout.
The hunter turned to look around as if little more than scrap paper had been tossed at them, and proceeded to use a forearm-mounted blade to chop Nero in half. Sending his bio-mechanical legs running off in a panic, while Nero's upper body oozed something blue like anti-freeze.
Luckily, his upper body had also landed on an office chair, and someone had mounted their champion kayaking oar on the wall to boast incessantly to their friends. Nero used that to navigate the room-- his programming included the Asimov subroutines, which prevented him from allowing Doc to be spotted, thus bringing him to harm.
So Nero was going to be a distraction.
