For anyone who needs this.

What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.

You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to  her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all  busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself

but you killed everyone else around you too. 

Might as well drop the coolest thing I've ever found, and maybe that I'll ever find - all downhill from here! This is a bilateral gynandromorph Amazon Ant (polyergus longicornis). They're half alate (male), half worker (female).

An ant which likely prefers they/them pronouns? Respect. 😂

They currently reside in the collection of the University of Texas, curated by Alex Wild. Preserved for the ridiculously cool thing they are. ❤️

Redesigns for Skull, Piolet, and an actual design/name for the Light King

Because Hornet is a mix between a spider, which have almost no muscles and instead use a complex system of hydraulics made using the spider’s blood pressure to move around, and have a very specific circulatory system alongside that, and a wyrm, which have an absolute ton of extremely tough and complex muscles that are specifically made for moving the wrym’s massive body around as efficiently as possible and also have a specific circulatory system made for that, Hornet has the most fucked up circulatory system you’re even seen.

Hornet’s circulatory system and muscular system is a weird mix between the Spider hydraulics circulatory system and the Wrym muscular systems (which are just regular muscles systems but with like 3 times the power). Hornet will move her arm and two things happen. First, her blood pressure in that arm will spike heavily, which is the result of the spider circulatory system trying to use Hornet’s nonexistent hydraulics system (made even more powerful by Hornet’s Wyrmlike heart, which is stronger than most spider hearts because wyrm muscles). As that’s happening, her actual arm muscles move her arm normally, but they’re suddenly a lot stronger than before because Hornet’s spider circulatory system has just accidentally delivered a shitload of extra blood and oxygen to that specific arm.

After Hornet stops moving her arm, her spider brain goes “alright, we’re done moving, lets lower the pressure in those hydraulics now”, lowers Hornet’s blood pressure and balances it out with the rest of her body, returning everything to normal. Even though it doesn’t have to do any of that at all because Hornet doesn’t have any spider hydraulics, so it’s increasing and decreasing her blood pressure for nothing.

This weird circulatory system has some upsides and some downsides. On one hand, Hornet is a lot stronger than she looks because the second she starts doing something physical, her muscles automatically receive extra bloodflow, making the task easier. But on the other hand, Hornet is prone to sudden spikes of high and low blood pressure because her circulatory system either messed something up, couldn’t properly balance out her blood pressure or just felt like being a dick today.

It also means that Hornet has a hard time retaining heat because the second she starts moving around in almost any way, blood starts being directed away from what her body has deemed “less important areas”, and towards whatever muscles she’s using. You know how you get cold feet when you’re scared because you’re body starts pumping more blood to the arm and leg muscles and less to the hands and feet? Hornet has an almost full body version of that at all times.

Makes my simp heart cry and squeal at the same time

!AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED! Hex fanart by me

Second! The perspective would look so cool!

Three viable reference options

Which should I focus the drawing like?
