FUFF!!!!

I do wish there were more species under Hymenoptera that produced honey in the sheer abundance that a select few honey bees do so we didn't have to rely on them for the harvesting of honey, or even that just keeping other, native insects in such a way that is beneficial to those species and the wildlife around them was more viable for someone to just Do.

Really, I love the idea of beekeeping conceptually as something that can keep a particular species surviving and actually thriving, but it's only fully ecologically viable in the locations where those species... Are from. Otherwise the honey bees (typically European honey bees, Apis mellifera) will create an imbalance in other ecosystems, outcompeting native bees (and other nectar and pollen feeders!) and spreading diseases to them. They're undeniably important to crops, I'm not saying they're just so horribly bad, I love honeybees the same as any other Hymenopteran, but unfortunately often people feel like honey bees are the only option when that is just not the case.

I don't post sketches publically at all usually but I think that's one funny soo also I have no idea what I was thinking with this one

Yes you get a whole fishstick doodle page, I love drawing the scugs interacting... This was supposed to be for pride month but sadly I was extremely busy so it only got finished now, but hey, better late than never huh?

went on the most insane grindr date of my life last night hold on

Hoaxe cause I finally figured how I wanna draw him!!! Gosh I love him a lot he is my favourite guy ever

Had to check and its been ~3 months since my last canonical ask (forgot to sign one)

Sooo how we thinking about Irving and the Scrybes interacting? Like it makes sense they would've done so but also Wild innit

-🥊

Oh it’s absolutely WILD to me, especially because I cannot imagine Irving would get along with any of them. He’d appreciate their devotion to the game, sure—no problem with them whining about reassignments, so less work for him—but… they’re still The Scrybes From Inscryption. He’d get annoyed with Magnificus’s insistence on “perfection” (which, in Irving’s eyes, is completely inconsequential but he knows better than to tell Magnificus he doesn’t know what he’s talking about), frustrated with Leshy’s pedantic mannerisms (though at least Leshy keeps to himself), irked by P03’s not-so-hidden intent to bring all of Inscryption somewhere else beyond the Gameworks, and Grimora… honestly I think he’d just find Grimora unnerving.

The James Cobb situation must have happened pretty early on in Inscryption’s development though—I can’t imagine that Irving would be able to send anyone in or out once the floppy disk had been buried (not to mention that Leshy had taken over during that point, putting yet another barrier in addition to the several feet of dirt).

Inscryption to me seems like the one corner of the Gameworks universe that no one really wants to talk about, they’ve just heard absolutely bonkers rumors about the people there and have to suppress a shudder. Except the rumors are 100% true and oftentimes worse because no one in Inscryption can behave.

It’s like . Shaky drag from my cigarette . Vallamir’s possession of Irving’s corpse is meant to be read as unhealthy coping, the idea that reclamation is always a surefire way of healing when all it does in this case is trap him in a part of the past that he needs to step away from if he wants to truly grow. Depoliticizing and desecrating Irving’s image by wearing it as a costume to suit his own survival doesn’t make him feel any better despite what he claims. Vallamir is actively dying in there, growing weaker the longer he stays put— to the point that he’s too malnourished to leave at all. Do you understand? He’s never once existed as himself in a state that is free of confinement, and yet confinement is something he seeks because it’s familiar. And that’s comforting. Irving is something that he knew. That’s comforting. He can use his hatred and frustration and anger towards the deceased admin to mask everything as a crude, distasteful form of revenge, but there’s no fruitful outcome in the long run. Do you understand? Do you get it? He’s used to being written off as something to hate, so the easiest route to take is to carry on in the flesh of something that also harbored hate. Do you see it? Whatever.

big family yep LTTM and FP seem to really like playing dominoes

had a tweakout with the groupchat last week. tldr; jeremiah being a reference to paper jekyll sparked the theory of reggie and him being based off of jekyll and hyde which unfortunately makes too much sense
