In Honor Of The Winning Bugs Of The Hemipteran Bug Race! In First Place We Have The Loud And Proud Cicada,

A winners’ podium with three insects on it; an annual cicada is standing at the top in first place, a leafhopper with red and blue stripes is standing to the left in second place, and an orange, white, and black assassin bug is standing to the right in third place. All the bugs have little medals on blue ribbons around their necks (or around what is roughly analogous to their necks); the cicada has a gold medal, the leafhopper has a silver medal, and the assassin bug has a bronze medal.

In honor of the winning bugs of the Hemipteran bug race! In first place we have the loud and proud cicada, in second we have the springy and spirited leafhopper, and in third we have the threateningly named assassin bug! Here are close-ups of the bugs with their medals!

A photo of an annual cicada, with a gold medal with a “1” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.
A photo of a leafhopper, with a silver medal with a “2” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.
A photo of an assassin bug, with a bronze medal with a “3” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.

Thank you to everyone who voted! ❤️❤️❤️

Bug race, but it’s true bugs only

I’m not going to post something for everyone who liked or commented on Oakie posts after the polls closed today, but I will post two more pieces, because we had two more voters I haven’t mentioned yet. I am however doing this again for the finals, so you all can have your chance then!

Here’s what was supposed to be a quick sketch of Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening. It kinda got away from me a bit. Thank you @sacredstones2004 :)

This one is a recent drawing (I did it because I was bored) of an old OC I made in high school. Adria Black, hailing from a world full of beings best summarized as vampire ghosts that only adolescents can see, hunted these monsters with her best friend Vivian… until dying and becoming one herself. She wanted to destroy herself, but Vivian wouldn’t accept that, and so now she acts as a spy of sorts. After all, few vampire-ghosts would expect one of their own to be working with a hunter. I hope you enjoy it, @lizardonatoadstool !

Thank you @amanita-strange-and-true for voting for Oakie! This is a traditional piece we did together in an Entomology Club activity. The moth is a sphinx moth (family Sphingidae) :)

Here's a close-up:

Thank you @lane-thepencilthing for voting for Oakie in the SUNY Mascot Madness tournament (link). So maybe I could’ve posted these separately but this screwball nonsense all kinda goes together. This is a silly Hollow Knight modern/gijinka AU in which the characters are trying and failing to be normal people in the normal town of Hallownest. Chaotic ideas under the cut- it’s mostly just silly.

Hollie is a Gifted Kid who just wants to be “good” and ends up being the one who mostly takes care of their little siblings because their parents are absolutely slacking off on that. They’re very tall and stand out in a crowd, but they’re shy and quiet and don’t want to stand out and are always hunched over. Also, everyone in the Pale family is autistic. When I tried to make these characters act normal they all gave off extremely neurodivergent energy XD

Hornet is a tween who is Not Like Other Girls and likes spiders and will probably bite. Herrah is basically a Crazy Cat Lady, except she has a bunch of pet spiders. This combined with the fact that she’s crazy strong and kinda intimidating anyway means most people avoid her. If you say anything bad about her mom, Hornet will come after you. Ghost, predictably, is a little chaos child. They lose speech/can’t always speak and have both autism and ADHD. Grimm is kinda frenemies with PK, but Ghost and Grimm Jr. are the best of friends. They get into trouble together often. Grimm will often just drop his child off at PK’s house unexpectedly, and Ghost will get all excited about the surprise sleepover, and PK will be like “Grimm you can’t just do this” and Grimm will be like “Watch me.” The one good parent in this is the crazy woman whose house is full of spiders.

Sharing this to help them out

Please read and reblog

Hey I'm Hollow. I'm a disabled trans/nonbinary young adult. I need help and mostly have no way to get it so I'm asking you all to please help me get my foot in the door so 2023 can be the year things get better. My health isn't very good and for me to qualify for assistance they want doctor proof so I have to pay out of pocket to see a doctor for now. I am also a month behind on my rent due to my inability to have a job and need help catching up. I will have help covering things soon I just need to catch up first. This amount covers the bear minimum to pay my overdue bills so I'm safe and housed and to get me in to see a doctor so I can get moving towards government help.

We've made a paypal pool and here's my ko-fi if you want to help but the pool is no longer open. We appreciate any help we can get. Sharing helps out a ton. Thank you to anyone and everyone who spares us the thought.

Hi, we're the River System! Katlyn (she/they) and Jacob (he/him). Came for the fandoms, stayed for the off-the-wall and the cringe. 22, autistic (language abled and low support needs), Environmental Biology major. Actual Mad Scientists ;) [We do science and don't do sanity!] Mostly this is Katlyn obsessing over bugs and fandoms (Undertale, Hollow Knight, Little Nightmares, Fire Emblem: Awakening, RWBY, Arcane). Also may include photography, dark aesthetics, and general chaos from Jacob. (Cover photo by Sagar Patil on Unsplash)
