It's always bothered me that when people adapt Kafka's Metamorphosis they depict Gregor Samsa as a roach. Cockroaches do not undergo metamorphosis. They are born as nymphs which are just smaller wingless versions of the adult form.
Kafka writes that Gregor can only enjoy rotten food. Which also makes him not at all roach-like. Roaches strongly prefer fresh vegetables to rotten ones.
And, of course, he gets stuck on his back, not something roaches struggle with nearly as much as beetles.
That's why always imagined him as a beetle. Which implies that the man Gregor was a larvae for all his pre-bug life. I thought that was the whole point of the story... We're all grubs, but Gregor reached the next stage though sadly none of the grubs in his family could understand him.

it truly is! I'll give a quick recap.
I was wait-listed for a litter from Breeder A, but (because I was far down on the list) all the grubs got scooped. I'm now first on the wait-list, but the next litter won't be born until August.
Breeder B had a blue mink kitten up for grabs. I tried to grab, but someone else was faster. Now I am first on the wait-list for Breeder B's newborn worms:

all pointed cats are born white and develop their colour as they age, so right now they are little mysteries! these are all the possible outcomes:

what will they turn into? is one of these larval creatures mine? only time will tell!

need cub to get a desk job so bad but it’s really funny to me that he basically co-created the permits but then fucked off to make his 4x10^76 different firework producing factory

back when I thought the seal mink kitten would be mine, I settled on the name Belphegor!
Tumblr media
BUT now I know that my (unborn) kitten will likely be a red tabby or a torbie:

neither of these colours seem like a Belphegor....... I have to go back to the drawing board.
