Found this guy at 2am in my bathroom in central ohio. Looked to be about 1.5-2 inches long but I wasn't wearing my glasses. Photos taken after catching and releasing. Who is he, and do i need to get my apartment fumigated lol

At first glance, it looks like a female Oriental Cockroach (Blatta Orientalis).
Especially as we're getting into spring (peak roach season). They tend to prefer cooler, humid areas (though are not exclusively found in them) and are about 1"–1.25" long. They're a pretty common pest, especially in the US, so I'd definitely recommend taking a look at some pest identification guides about them. They can have a pretty bad smell, so I'd at least check!
Here's a link to get you started.

i mean TECHNICALLY. eleanor was tahani's soulmate in one of the reboots so in my mind that equals bi tahani confirmed. & also janet is very much not a girl and jason knows this and is in a relationship with her anyway so in my mind THAT equals bi jason confirmed. and eleanor is just canonically bisexual. chidi is the only one who technically says he isn't bisexual and he actually has to CLARIFY this because eleanor assumes he is. and since eleanor has the best gaydar possible in my mind THAT equals bi chidi confirmed. and then there's simone who tried to make out with eleanor in the highly realistic simulation so i'm counting her as bi as well

I don’t take the men in my life seriously at all anymore. I have learned not to even engage with them about any serious topic. If they bring up something, I brush it off asap.
Their job sucks? “Yup” is my go-to response.
They are in pain? “Sucks bro.”
Their team lost? Blank stare.
I could walk them through the steps involved with improving their education, communication skills, and employment viability, but they won’t listen.
I could offer to obtain pain medication and suggest a doctor visit, but they will only become dependent on my nursing services and will never stir themselves to address the root problem.
I don’t watch male sports, most television, or engage with male-oriented content of any kind if I can help it. Best I can manage is a shrug when they ask me about pop culture.
Once I figured out that every interaction men initiated preceded an attempt to exploit me, I stopped playing their game and they scattered like cockroaches in search of another food source.
All that extra energy that used to go toward men is now invested in me. I have time to read, work out, make myself nutritious food, enjoy nature, do yoga, rest, and listen to music (female artists only).
My life is improving every day.

Hi you're the blog who identified bugs right? I found this guy in my bathroom in Columbus ohio at 2am, scared the shit outta me. He's one of the biggest bugs ive ever seen. I got these pictures during the catch and release mission.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am ONE OF THE blogs that identifies bugs, yes.
I'm happy to ID this for you...
This looks like an Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis), family Blattidae, order Blattodea.
It's a little hard to tell from the blurry photos, so check out these links, and see what you think.

Been seeing a lot of ship charts for AvA and decided to do a relationship chart instead for the Bug Fables AU! I thought it would be fun since I think about the AU all the time and I don't tend to do a lot of ship content for this fandom. That, and it can act as a quick glance to all the characters and their designs.
A few notes: Some of these designs are placeholders or WIPs, I'll update this as I finish up designs. Sprout is the Piglin Child, Entity is the Lucky Block Entity, Maroon is the Corn Dog Guy.
Herobrine, Sprout, Ochre, Maroon, and Ginger are designed by @tatos-stick-pile
And since mostly everyone is shown here, all the species will be under the cut! :D
Alan: Deadlander Omega Second: Tree Bumblebee Chosen: Bald-Faced Hornet Dark: Black and Red Mason Wasp Victim: Cordyceps fungus in a Locust host
Blue: Blue Ghost Firefly Yellow: Caddisfly Red: Convergent Ladybug Green: Grasshopper
Agent: Dragonfly Ballista: Bombardier Beetle Hazard: Oriental Cockroach Primal: Budwing Mantis
Purple: Mothfly / False Citizen King: Violin Mantis Gold: Mantis Nymph Navy: Hierodulas Mantis Orchid: Orchid Mantis Maroon: Ruby Tiger Moth Ochre: Scalloped Oak Moth Ginger: Ruby Tiger Caterpillar
Herobrine: Golden Orb Weaver Spider Spider: Tarantula Skeleton: Deathstalker Scorpion Endie: Water Strider
Sprout / Piglin Kid: Leafbug Entity / Lucky Block: Haunted Cloak / Watcher Titan Ravagers: Amazonian Giant Centipede Reuben: Chomper

an old feeding clip from a few years back.
Blaptica dubia cockroaches play dead when scared, which works pretty well against visually-oriented predators like lizards and vibrationally-oriented predators like spiders. centipedes like this Scolopendra hainanum hunt by scent though, and staying still around them is a bad idea!
watch how gently she first approaches the roach—she can’t see it because centipedes have extremely weak eyes, but she can tell it isn’t fleeing from her, so she doesn’t start grappling with it until it runs. very perceptive creatures

[Subject Interview: Hiro]
Tagged by @wraithsoutlaws--thank you!, this was really fun (and going to do it for the other three eventually 💕💕)
Tumblr media
NICKNAME: How do you know Hiro isn't one? Just fucking with you, that is my name. I got a lot of them, depends on who you ask. Could give me one and might even respond to it, f'you ask nicely.
GENDER: Male.
STAR SIGN: I don't know? Misty said I seemed like a Scorpio whatever that's supposed to mean, so gonna go with that if someone asks.
HEIGHT: 5'4 and a half
ORIENTATION: Why, you interested? Swing both ways 😘
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Japanese-American. Don't know any of my family, and frankly if they're anything like my parents were, not missing much.
FAVE FRUIT: Do I gotta pick one? I like most of them but if you want my favorite, it's mangos. Found one in some Corp's fruit bowl once and fuck it was good. (what? a guy gets hungry on a gig, and it's not like he was gonna miss it.)
FAVE SEASON: I like summer--the hotter the better--if you've got it why not show it off? (also it's fucking Night City, you get hot and you get less hot. Still haven't seen snow.)
FAVE FLOWER: I like dandelions. They somehow managed to survive in the city, and they're prettier than the cockroaches. Personally I'd be fine if they replaced the former.
FAVE SCENT: Brewing coffee, and the musty smell of a leather jacket
COFFEE, TEA, HOT CHOCOLATE: On that note, coffee. Or hot chocolate, both are good. I'll drink tea but I'm not gonna be happy about it. It just tastes like grass.
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Hahahaha that's a good one
DOG OR CAT PERSON: Cats. Dogs are just loud, and I don't know about you, but fuck paying pet tax on them. At least the cats are easier to hide.
DREAM TRIP: Anywhere outside the city. It's not like I'm rolling in the eddies or the chances to travel. If I had the choice, somewhere cold. With a lot of trees. There isn't much of either here.
FAVE FICTIONAL CHARACTER: Uhhhh--I don't know. There's a lot of them. I always really liked Kaneda from Akira. It's a comfort movie for me.
NUMBER OF BLANKETS THEY SLEEP WITH: As many as possible. If I sleep with my head under them I almost can't hear the cats wrecking my apartment.
RANDOM FACT: About me, or just in general? I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue? I'm left handed, anddddd my favorite food is red bean buns. There, that's three.
Tagging: @shinycorvidae, @dreamskug, @a-pirate, @wraithsoutlaws (for one of your others), @ghostoffuturespast, @vayneoc, @halkuonn, @pinkyjulien, @ouroboros-hideout, @genocidalfetus, @kharonion, @sammysilverdyne, @elvenbeard, @jaymber, @chevvy-yates, @morganlefaye79 @dustymagpie and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it! (not sure who has and hasn't been tagged yet)

what you’ve got to understand about working conditions in education (and also other care-oriented careers) is that if they’re shit, two things are true at once:
that does not ever excuse being cruel to a kid, no matter what
until those conditions are fixed, education will continue to suck absolute shit
this is because when working conditions for teachers are really bad, many of the good teachers who recognize when they are reaching a point where they can no longer be the sort of teacher the kids deserve due to burnout WILL quit. they will do the responsible thing and go away for their own sake and the sake of the kids. and you end up stuck w a combination of new teachers who are trying their best but won’t last long, burnt out teachers who are trying their best but have nothing left to give and therefore aren’t very effective at actually teaching, and cockroach shitheads who take out their misery on the kids.
we have all had terrible experiences with bad teachers, many of them flat out traumatic, but for fuck’s sake please try to look at the systemic underpinnings of the problem for one minute. spitefully declaring that teachers don’t deserve good working conditions or even the right to complain about bad working conditions because ms. whoever in 5th grade was a bitch is only going to create more of her. if you want good teachers then we need an education system they can survive in
#i get so irritated w the post where like.#95% of it is a good post and then at the end op is like WAAAHHH teachers are complaining about burnout on my post about a bad teacher#like yeah no shit. if the field of education wasnt so hostile to everyone who works in it maybe they could have found a better teacher to#replace that motherfucker with. and then she would not be there to bother the kids any more.#as someone who Has had traumatic experiences w bad teachers.#its scary enough walking into a field i know is pretty much built to chew new teachers up and spit us out#hoping to be able to survive it long enough to do some good and be the kind of teacher i needed as a kid#without people acting as though it is some sort of crime for teachers to want. like. basic human dignity at work and enough money to survive#even people who are nominally pro-workers rights#you guys have no fucking idea how bad the situation is in schools right now#the reason bad teachers didnt get fired perhaps USED to be tenure#but nowadays its the fact that its rare for a school to be fully staffed *at all* bc so many teachers quit or died#so they'll hire and keep absolutely fucking anyone simply because the alternative is No Teacher. and an empty classroom#full of kids who wont learn anything except that the system doesnt even care about them enough to put a teacher in the room.#i have gotten job offers ON SIGHT from principals who know nothing about me and im literally not even legally qualified to teach yet#like before even telling them my name lmao#and im sure everyone else in town who expresses any interest in teaching whatsoever gets the same.

👀wanna try?? Billy/Skull??
Tumblr media
Wow this looks ugly, I am sorry. But for the sake of clarity:
Skull:
Alternates between being the big spoon and little spoon, but is slightly bigger, so it works out better if he's the big one.
Oddly, of the two of them, he's slightly more responsible with his clothes and therefore always has extra on hand for Billy to borrow when Billy... gets "oil" on his shirts or tears his jeans "working on an engine" by the week.
Being that he is a quiet little king of music, he has a way with words and calls Billy all manner of cute things. Things like, "Rain Dance" or "Sugar Star" or "Ocean Heart" or, his favorite "Bones"~
Amongst people he knows and trusts he is exceptionally extroverted. If he is not used to a group of people, he tends to fade back until he's sure he can be tolerated.
Acts of Service is his main love language, but he speaks all love languages, so if Billy needs more than one or the other, Skull can supply.
There is exactly a one in fifty chance he would ever confess first. But, the multiverse exists; there's gotta be one somewhere that didn't chicken out.
He could break a window screaming over seeing a cockroach skitter by or duck for cover if a moth or grasshopper or wasp gets into the house. Yet, oddly, he won't let anyone kill them, preferring to carefully relocate them, even while freaking out under his breath.
He has a license, he can go from point A to point B. He is not allowed to drive cross country due to the nausea that comes from prolonged coasting.
He basically started cooking for himself when he could reach the stove with a stool. When he is lacking in funds, he can still make a good meal. When he gets older, this is how he truly shows devotion.
Grab him, kiss him, hold his hand, carry him bridal style out in the open. He cannot be embarrassed by affection.
In a relationship, he is very much aware that Billy can handle himself, can watch his own back and is not a fragile flower. So he is generally chill with Billy doing what he will, Skull just requests that he send texts if he knows he might be late or needs something. Unless there's some homophobic douchebag bothering Billy. Then WATCH OUT.
His having more relationship experience is kind of a sad, horrible kind of joke amongst their friends. Sure, he's got a body count higher than two, but holy fucking shit, they all were a horror show. When he wasn't being used for convenience, he was being used to prevent loneliness and lied to the entire time. Not to mention when a mind control or love potion is added to the mix. So...yeah.
Billy:
He tries to be the big spoon at least three times a week, but he is fully aware that he has more muscle and softness than Skull, so he might usually be the little spoon, but that's mostly because he's basically a lovey for his boney-ass boyfriend.
Half of his closet and drawers are filled with clothes he's snatched from Skull; which is very amusing to Kim and Trini when they visit and want to go out and often end up dressing him in his boyfriend's wardrobe. He once wore stirrup leggings with Cinderella flats and a black linen blouse that hung off his shoulders with only the top two buttons latched so he could show off a deep blue sequined crop top that complimented the elk skull and Death Head moth necklaces around his neck--all from Skull; the entire ensemble making him look like a model. (And Skull is fully aware that he's never getting those clothes back.)
Doesn't use nearly as many pet names as Skull, but he does call him easy things like sweetspark, honey heart, marigold, darling, etc.
He's not as shy and background oriented as he was in middle school, but he's not as out there as literally all of his friends. Which is fine and hasn't given him a complex at all.
Service, touch, gift giving, making things--these are his ways of showing affection. He will use words when needed, but he's so often in his own head that sometimes the words just...stay there.
He would have to be the one to say he loves and wants to love and wants a relationship when it becomes very obvious that all the signs for romance are there...but history kind of prevents Skull from acting on things. And he gets it. Of the two of them, Billy has people in his back corner to provide support, Eugene just has Bulk (and maybe his brother when he's...around).
He will not kill pollinators or spiders, but he will tear apart a work area just to get a mosquito.
Billy literally remodeled a car from the early '90s into a flying future miracle. He has risen above the "gays can't drive" thing, thank you.
He can make pasta and microwave dinners and popcorn. He can sort of bake cookies. One should not ask him to do more than that, because he will forget something and go work on an experiment and blow up the house.
So-so when it comes to PDA. Largely because he feels like he's somehow being impolite to other people, but if Skull is feeling low, Billy will actively make sure their hands are attached and that his boyfriend's face is flushed from Billy kissing him all along his face and shoulders.
There is a one in three chance that Bulk and Skull will be in the area of a monster fight at any given time. Rita and Zedd and their minions know them BY NAME. Of COURSE Billy gets protective of Skull to the point of ridiculous a lot of the time.
He's basically always known he's gay. He's had a lot of crushes on his guy friends and allies, but never actually tried to ask for a date. He has had sex with other boys, but not a real relationship--most of the time it was coming off of a stressful battle because of Power overload. So...not much experience. Thankfully, Skull is much more patient than others would believe.

⊹ ⋆゚꒰ఎ ♡ ໒꒱ ⋆゚⊹"Aren't you the sweetest thing that i've ever seen?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
•♡•SEX: male, but he can shapeshift if wants to
•♡•SEXUAL ORIENTATION: yes :)
•♡•SPECIES: kitsune/deity
•♡•NICKNAMES: kisu, pink boy, boytoy
•♡•OCCUPATIONS: currently at uni studying fashion design, deity of all forms of love, messenger of love (equivalent to eros, the erotes, cupid and yue lao).
•♡•AGE: 689
•♡•BIRTHDAY: 14th feb
•♡•HOMETOWN: gods realm, house of love
•♡•MBTI: ESTP
•♡•HEIGHT: 182 cm
•♡•EYECOLOR: pink with hints of red and a heart shaped pupil
•♡•HAIR: dark pink to baby pink in a jellyfish cut
•♡•SKINCOLOR: he's tan, (unfortunately I didn't find a tan photoplayer with pink hair)
•♡•ABOUT KISUMI: Kisumi is a social butterfly, always happy and excited to meet new people, he is the type who pays attention to everyone and everything around him, and will always do his best to make everyone comfortable and happy. Still, he's not afraid to get into a fight if necessary.
As a messenger of love, he can be horni and enter lovegame mode very quickly. When this happens, his eyes become brighter and turn from pink to bright red.
He looks like the typical fuckboy, and indeed he is, but not the toxic type. I think he's more like a jock, stupid but nice and sweet and a caring one, also he's super gentle with animals, almost like a Disney princess. If you be lucky enough to catch Kisumi's eyes, oh bestie you'll be treated like royalty for an entire night, and he'll only have you on his mind at that moment. Also don't worry, he drinks respect woman juice every day and always spreads the word about the importance of aftercare.
•♡•POWERS: Kisumi is a messenger of all forms of love: fraternal love, love between friends, love between lovers, self love, love for wisdom, etc. most of times he knows when and with who people will fall in love, and he's the responsible to bring the love for them, very much like eros, but he uses his hand or a pink shotgun instead of arrows to do his job. he can't choose with who the person will fall in love, this means that even if the relationship is fated to end in tragic way, he can't interfere.
that amount of power comes with a price: even if it's a blessing to feel the love of all humans and creatures, this also means that doesn't matter how strong or obsessive it is, he will feel it. but he can also feel the pain, the sadness and the rage when the love is gone (yes he do have yanderish behavior sometimes due the amount of love and other feelings he carries all the time) it's his blessing, but also his curse. it's the price that comes with his power. to deal with this, he meditate and fight a lot, trying to use his energy in something all the time and engaging in all types of activities. His favorite at the moment is american football.
•♡•LIKES: pink, bunnies, heart shaped glasses, dance, ice cream cake, milkshakes, juices made of tropical fruits, handicraft (he's a DIY bitch), romcoms films, makeup, playing football, the gym (yep hes also a gym whore), pearls and touching grass :D
•♡•DISLIKES: overly dramatic people, you see, he is a attention whore and drama queen, but its only a joke. people that like to complain and play the victim in everything really upsets him. pot a big fan of doritos, he hates the smell, bad gossip, the kind of gossip that can ruin someone's life, he likes gossip but not the extremely harmful one. toxic man, cockroaches.
•♡•TRIVIA:
messenger kiitsunes have 5 forms:
spiritual: the first and easiest, they are born that way, they are like little floating souls. do small jobs like carrying letters between the gods, and helping lost souls or children or even protecting forests and temples half fox: when they already have a physical body, having the human body with a fox tail and ears physical fox: name says it all, they can transform into foxes complete human life: at least 400 years of cultivation (meditation and study) to achieve spiritual core: can be unlocked through the spirit form if you become a great entity, in which case you create a domain of your own, almost as if it were a dimension to accumulate your powers, and it becomes the your own magical/spiritual core. it is very difficult to reach this point, only high-ranking entities or foxes, such as the Counselor and elder leaders with about 750 years of cultivation, achieve this form.
Kisumi and his brother Karakuri however managed to master the 5th form, the spiritual core with 32 years of existence. Many say that the ability the brothers have is due to the fact that they were born from the spiritual union of two women, Inari and Kadanke.
the creator of akai ito with his mom
able to seduce people with just one look
even if he looks like just came out of "mean girls" he's 100% golden hearted himbo
he's the mom's friend type of guy, all moms and kids love him ( i ask myself why)
bullying problems? no more, call Kisumi and see your bullies cry in misery and beg your forgiveness
foxes used to be messengers only for Inari, but Inari wanted to help her brothers and sisters gods and decided to turn the foxes into helpers of all deities
kisumi is a one of the many messengers of love, currently the leader of them, but he became so powerfull that he can be considered a deity and some people worship him as a god
his name is inspired by japanese pronunciation of "kiss me"
he usually pranks his brother karakuri
hates cockroaches and will use fireballs and guns to kill them
while his brother use a spear to fight, kisumi use his fists, and unlike eros that use a bow and arrow to shot the mortals with love, kisumi use a shotgun
Tumblr media
PERSONAL NOTE: I created Kisumi as a form to comfort myself. He's the type of man that one day I want to know and fall in love with. He's like my own therapy and friend that I would love to have. I really like Kisumi very much and I hope you dear reader like him too.
Do not copy or use as your own.
