"Timothy! No! That's a first edition! And where are your spectacles! What has gotten in to you?" Character idea:

A scholar who is a book louse larvae— he is deeply torn between completing his research by reading the books and eating them so that he can pupate (and maybe then, at last have the nerve to ask out the moth on whom he has a terrible unrequited, totally secret crush) Sometimes he eats books he finds poorly written out of spite.

“I had to miss a week of work sick in bed after eating Art of the Deal, but it seemed like a matter of personal duty to munch up that one. Worse I don’t think it helped my silk glands develop at all! Really I felt worse after the ordeal—had to nibble on a 1st edition of Nother’s tables just to get my bearings— and now all of the logarithms between 0.5 and 0.7 are missing.” He said with a little sob. “Whatever am I to do? I simply love my books far too much!”

jon kent nature youtuber where he posts artful homemade nature documentaries with full narration about like 'the lady bug´s quest for food' and then on the flipside there's also 30 second shaky cam videos of him trying to talk to a bison about dating and getting attacked.

#yes i am on a quest to get him a personality #this is the first point #how do i argue this. well first of all 1) grew up partially on a farm #also it would be funny #which is two very good reasons #would love to see him be like 'mom. dad. i want to be a journalist' and theyre SO HAPPY LIKE 'YAAS JON COME WORK FOR THE DAILY PLANET'#and then jon's like 'ok so like i want to talk about fire ant colonies'#clark and lois still happy but a lil confused #'is there... corruption involved? perhaps a secret government plot?'#'no mom theyre ants'#jon kent #superman #superman: son of kal el #mission get jon kent some personality

the rescue bots doing their thing and fostering wholesome relationships while the plot of TF: Prime is apparently taking place just off-screen, with all the death and maiming and general trauma, will never not be insane to me

#ant posts #rescue bots #episode 1: you're the last rescue bots ever because the decepticons systematically wiped out the rest #and i mention we killed our planet?

I made something

I hope someone else finds it as funny as I do

#he wants nothing to do with this responsibility #he spent half of this episode trying to pawn it off to Nereus #because he is a thirteen year old little boy #who had some very good points #‘youngest is not a LEGITIMATE. JOB QUALIFICATION!!’#yes Ant. tell the old man the actual child shouldn’t be responsible for the lives of literally the entire planet #stick it to the idiots six thousand years ago who thought this was a genuinely good idea #one of my favorite things to write about is how much Ant absolutely doesn’t want to be the Chosen One #i think it is one of many untapped wells of angst that should be looked into more #ant nekton #antaeus nekton #the deep 2015

A Fantastic Future

Here’s a crazy idea I’ve been working on for a while. Basically it’s a lineup of the Fantastic Four using the alternate members from the comics that currently exist in the MCU, and/or close MCU substitutes that would work well with the team.

So anyway, here’s the roster:

Scott Lang/Ant-Man

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk

Peter Parker/Spider-Man

Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel

I know it’s a little crazy, but I thought it would be a fun idea while we wait for updates on the actual lineup for the 2025 film.

IDK, let me know what you guys think! Hope you like it!

Happy Holidays!

Well the old Planet of the Apes are vastly different from the new ones, but I can describe the newer ones! Basically, humans test on apes and apes gain the intelligence of humans, leading them to an accidental/ish uprising. That's the very overly simplified explanation, because there's just too much to explain.

Ohhhhh. Huh. That sounds really interesting, Anon. So there’s two out already and a third about to be, right? I’ve seen the trailer for it, and yeah, I’m pretty curious.

I’ll have to add those to the list of movies to check out.

The Provost's Secretary

(In which I help a single working mother.)

When I arrived at the provost's office I didn't know what manner of criticism I was to receive. Even in my nervous state I couldn't help but notice a peculiar rustling commotion under the long dress of her secretary, a near-sighted gray wolf spider who seemed just as flustered as I was. I craned for a better look, and saw a little spiderling peek from the ample hems of her skirts. This, it seemed, was too much for the secretary. She gave up all pretense of checking me in.

"Please oh please don't tell the provost I brought my children here!" begged the secretary. Of course I assured her I wouldn't say a word. But, after my meeting with the Provost I did something that may have betrayed the confidence of the nervous mother. The Provost followed me from her office, still giving instructions and criticisms of my work, and this was when I spotted a spiderling snuggled on the provost's gaster! Something in my demeanor betrayed my mirth at the situation.

The provost whirled around fixing her large and perpetually angry black eyes on her own bottom. Seeing the spiderling, she flew into a rage. Mandibles waggling at her secretary! She backed the poor spider into a corner. Then she shouted:

"If you bring them again you might as well look for another job!" and slammed her office door. I felt horrible. This was all my fault. I would be responsible for a mother of... um... a mother of many being out of work with no way to support her young.

So, of course I offered to babysit. To my surprise the spider was happy to trust me with such an important task and this is how she came to arrive at my apartment to drop the little ones off. She had packed them all into a large basket.

"They should stay in the basket. You don't need to do anything. Just don't leave them alone." Confident that I was helping, I bid their fussing furry mother goodbye and sat down at my desk to work on my research. After some time, I felt something small and soft nestling into my leg.

It was one of the spiderlings of course. The basket simply didn't provide the comfort of mother. I attempted to move the little one back, but when I got close to the basket several more made their way on to my arms and chest. They looked up at me, each with 8 little black eyes. "mum?" they asked. Who was I to denny them?

Soon I was covered head to toe ... and though I tried to resume my paperwork, it could not be done. I simple stood in the middle of the room, arms out, covered in spiders. I don't know how much time passed or how I didn't become overwhelmed, but suddenly after a time they all poured off my body rushing to the door.

Thankfully, it was their mother, and it was clear I was just a substitute since they made their way back to her rump with all haste. I had a few unsettling dreams, but I also resolved to talk to the provost about her intolerant attitude to children. I suppose ants can just leave their little ones at home, they have sisters who are nurse maids!

i could not be a celebrity the moment some stupid nonsense theory starts going around i would be like "yall are soooo fucking stupid. WHERE are the braincells. critical thinking is such a lost art omfg" especially if i was a singer-songwriter like i know art is meant to be interpretive but if you're speculating on what this song means to ME like. shut the fuck up. i'm just another bitch on this planet eating grass what does it MATTER

#inspired by all the olivia rodrigo speculations #THE SONGS ARENT ABOUT TAYLOR THE SONGS ARENT ABOUT TAYLOR THE SONGS ARENT ABOUT TAYLOR THE SONGS ARENT ABOUT TAYLOR THE SONGS ARENT ABOUT T #this and lacy being a wlw song #i don't care what you think it is but stop attacking other people for it #she never said if she's straight or not and frankly it doesn't fucking matter #other people's sexualities only matter if you want to date that person. seriously stop talking about celebrities' sexualities #WE'RE LITTLE ANTS ON A BLUE PLANET WHO CAN'T AFFORD LIVING A BASIC LIFE. SHUT UP #(i also mean this is the nicest way possible. i hope you realize your errors and change and have a good life.)#olivia rodrigo #guts olivia rodrigo #guts album #taylor swift #this also applies to gaylors sooo

ANTS USE MEDICINE?????

These little guys FASCINATE me oh my god??? They go to war, have strategies, and use medicine? Are you kidding me?

Isn’t one of the first evidences of civilization argued to be a healed broken bone?

If evidence of civilization is healing another member of your community…

Are ant colonies a civilization?

#life on our planet #ants #bugs #insects #ant colony #ant #idk it just gets me thinking #especially about how intelligence is measured by human standard and UHHHHHH #ants are weirdly human

you know the sci-fi book was good when it makes u contemplate the difference between a biological imperative of another species imposed onto ur free will via biochemical signals v.s. actual communion with a higher plane of existence thru holy, fungus-y mediums

#mutuals you guessed it:#planetfall by emma newman #but soecifically what made me think of this tonight was #the long way to a small angry planet #by becky chambers #you watch a documentary about that fungus that goes in an ants brain and makes it climb really high to release its spores once as a child #and then ur never the same again #do u think the ant feels something akin to ant euphoria for achieving its purpose #or do you think it just dies #do you think if you were talking to god or just miscommunicating with some lifeform u dont understand youd be able to tell the difference #anyway im having a normal one #fungus thesis
