What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
With their tiny buggy feet.
I want #hemiptera to stomp on me.

Thank you for supporting Oakie!
These cool characters by @cozylittleartblog caught my eye lol. Check them out if you want :)
val is kind of a freak
Wow. Just wow. I’d heard about bees playing, but I didn’t know some of the other cool things mentioned in this video, like the fact that bees can learn by watching others. 💛🐝
This is why I don’t squash insects that happen to wander into the house. This is why I am against that sort of careless killing. Because we so drastically underestimate what insects are capable of. They are living beings, quite possibly each with their own desires and fears and inner lives. Many people forget that insects are animals. Many people forget that so are we.
honestly, the things that insects are capable of will never cease to amaze me
I’m dropping a somewhat old crossover fanfic of mine here and running lol
It’s an Undertale/Deltarune/Little Nightmares/Hollow Knight fanfic about a group of video game characters who are aware that their lives are video games (similar premise to Wreck-it Ralph) and the struggles of the player characters who go through all kinds of nonsense at the players’ whims.
This is also a crack fic chock-full of personal headcanons! Also, I’m putting it out here but I don’t promise quality lol. - Katlyn
(edit: now on AO3!)
(Here’s the Google doc I originally linked)
(Also: I’m ignoring Very Little Nightmares because I haven’t played it. Sorry to any Very Little Nightmares fans.)
When you're both you get a double whammy
@lane-thepencilthing I hope you voted here
Because here is an art
The idea that being gay, transgender, or Queer in any way is “unnatural” is such a crappy excuse for bigotry. As OP said, modern medicine is “unnatural.” Taking care of the sick and injured is “unnatural,” in that in a “natural,” “survival of the fittest” situation, these people would be left to die. Having permanent homes is different from the “natural” human state. Ear piercings are highly unnatural and purely cosmetic, yet in western society they are accepted without anyone batting an eye. I could go on, but the point is that unnatural doesn’t mean bad. And by the way: homosexual behavior *is* natural- it is found in many, many animals besides humans. So is being intersex, and, though I haven’t researched this, I would think that animals that behave in a way typical of the opposite sex are probably common or at least out there. In conclusion, fuck anti-queer bigotry and all the crappy excuses people use to justify it.
i mean. medical technology is all about stopping "natural" things from happening to our bodies. from external diseases to internal parts of our bodies not working the way we need them to (our brains, our organs, our immune systems), medicine is all about interfering with things that have naturally gone wrong in our bodies--and that for the first time in history, we might have a way to fix. and that's not even getting into cosmetic stuff--the billion dollar industries to remove acne and body hair for instance. natural things that happen to our bodies, that we have decided are unpleasant and that we have the right to change. and that's fine, because these are our bodies, and we have a right to change them, natural or not.
so stop pretending that depriving trans kids of puberty blockers and other medical care is okay, because growing irreversible secondary sex characteristics that they do not want is "natural"
Thank you @mangobronypower for voting for Oakie and spreading the word! This is a digital piece we did featuring a lady beetle :)
Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! 🐰🪺💐
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)
