We need to host a bug race yearly now, it would be funny to make it an event like we do with so many other things

"Would you still love me if I was a worm?"

"no, you lost the bug race"

Ummm all these posers 🙅‍♀️ voting for the snail 🐌 and caterpillar 🐛 while miss worm 🪱 is out here slaying 💅 like there’s no tomorrow. She is strong 💪 and will defeat all of you when her time ⏰ comes. Who can survive 🫀 being cut 🔪 in half??? It sure isn’t mr home 🏠 on his back 🐌 or mx minor 🐛 (guys that’s a toddler 👶 and it’s unethical to force labour 👷‍♂️ upon a child y’all are so problematic ❌ and don’t even care)

Anyways worm girls rise up!!!! 🪱🪱🪱

me, when i get old enough to vote: this is just like the great bug race of 2023

super glad that polls got added

Seeing a poll after voting is closed is so insulting like what do you mean I can't vote for the snail?? I demand my right to have an opinion and loudly proclaim it

“would you still love me if i lost the bug race?”

I voted for the snail out of penance for the little snail I accidentally stepped on when I was five. Sue me.

If tumblr makes bug race merch its OVER

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF

guys, guys, guys… there was a literal BUG RACE HERE AND I DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL IT ENDED! why nobody told me?

come on.. this is not fair, I can not belive this happend

i wanted to be there too :(

my contribution

Missing the bug race is the reason I have decided to retire from sleeping

there's only so much FOMO I can take

Y'know, I'm really excited to get back into writing, but this... was NOT the way I was expecting it to happen.

Nevertheless, it's time - for the Great Bug Race!!!

All the love for @crankyteapot for making the poll that became so amazing, as well as @firepestle and @tunamoth for just. Making amazing artwork (links to their posts are in the ao3 notes).

Wearing a mystery inc shirt and snail sock so people know my views on both HBO velma and the bug race.

I don't go on tumblr for a few days AND I MISS THE BUG RACE???

I will never be over this

It feels like the polls were made to distract us from the bots and the worst part of it all is that it's actually working.

Like. Yes pornbots are annoying but have you SEEN the bugs that are RACING???
