ok so here's where i am with the fridge wip

haven't made the actual mesh yet, just using ea meshes as a base right now. but is it just me, or does the animation look odd? it's the EA animation, i haven't edited it, but her arm is so... long

when the sim was standing closer her arm bent like a pretzel, but maybe if i tweak it just a *little* it'll help

it is very off-putting, idk. i've been working on it for a while, i might just be obsessing at this point

wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?

& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?

and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?

and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.

just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof

People that claim to love nature and animals when a bug dares to exist near them (they actually only care about cute fuzzy mammals)

I'm feeling salty so I'm just gonna say-

If you can't handle the idea of feeding live prey to something.

Do not get a pet. That requires you. To feed it live fucking prey. There are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS!

Also don't be that fucking weirdo who goes on other people's socials and bitches about how it's "inhumane" or "gross". They'd be doing it out in the wild. It's a little something called nature. And no, you cannot find an "alternative" for your mantis.

It's a MANTIS. It is like. One of the most famous predatory insects. It is infamous for eating its prey alive.

If you're going to be a little baby about feeding live prey. Then get a pet that doesn't need that. And shut the fuck up.

Saw someone say they now put bugs outside because ever since becoming a gardener, they realise how usefull bugs are.

That's all good and well. I'm glad they're not killing bugs anymore, but can we stop acting as if beings only deserve to live if they're useful?

You do not have to serve a purpose to be deserving of life. Your purpose is to simply *be*

In all the fuss of the last two days, I completely forgot that I have an appointment this morning. 🙃Please bear with me just a little longer.

Thank you for all the well wishes and encouragement Darling ones, it means a lot 🖤

i live in an area i remember being VERY dense with cicadas when i was a little kid. i was IN LOVE with cicadas as a child. they're one of my favorite buggos! i've been waiting for the next Max Cicadas year my whole life till now so you can imagine my anticipation for mid May here

I'm thinking about a Bug World concept where any non-insect might just see the residents as regular animals, but the way that the residents see themselves contrasts to that. Seeing themselves as more anthropomorphized and regal

Which would also play in to how the rest of the world sees Bug World, as small, insignificant, and something to not waste your time on. But the residents of Bug World see their societies differently, even if the giants don't want to see it. Still debating on this though

suddenly i fear the retribution for inflicting spider cheese on my friends and readers
