Attention!

Important! They are ALL FRIENDS!

Most of the time they’re just happy to get on with their business around humans. Sometimes they get a little too curious, usually after a minute they’ll realise you’re not food or a good place to sit, but if they bother you then it’s best to just move away.

Remember they sting to defend themselves or their nest, and from their point of view humans are gigantic, unpredictable and potentially very dangerous creatures.

It’s understandable if you’re scared of them, but please don’t say they’re evil!

oldest sibling culture is being extremely protective of your younger siblings and only wanting the best for them and if you disagree? die. genuinely hating your siblings isnt cool or funny 😜

sometimes you just gotta forget what society says and push away the haters and do what you love no matter what!

As a trans man, I’ve grown up pretty much controlled by my dysphoria. I wouldn’t touch anything that made me seem less “manly”. I forced myself to give up hobbies and interests and all sorts of things… but after a couple years it got really exhausting… I didn’t want to force myself to act like a cis man x100 just to be treated like a normal person. If a cis guy can like feminine or non-traditionally-masculine things, why can I? Ever since I started thinking that, I started being way more comfortable with myself. I still do things to pass as a guy though, and I still dress very masculine since that is how i am most comfortable. But I won’t let my dysphoria control me so much anymore, and I think that’s an important lesson a lot of trans guys need to hear. Do what makes you happy!! Be proud of who you are!!!

anyway, I made this comic/doodle compilation bc I headcanon a lot of characters as trans like lemmy and roy. it’s mostly a lot of self projecting but…… yeah. I tried to show the Trans Experience with this comic. Ngl, dysphoria got me down a lot when i was younger… the only thing that kept me going was support from my family, and I can imagine the koopalings doing the same. Being trans isn’t just a miserable experience though, I have felt so happy finding who I am and finding people who support me. It’s so amazing and I’m so proud of every trans person out there!

dont tag as ship. also please remember this is just all headcanons

On my last day of work, I talked with my friend, and she told me a story. She was at Rockfest in Quebec, and it was a hot, hot summer. People in spikes and bright pink hair were drunk off their asses, stumbling about with little spoons and goofy smiles. Why were they doing this?

Someone was selling kits to help tired bees at the concert. 

 And honestly, the idea of all this cool punkass rockers getting stupid happy over helping bees? It made my day brighter. I hope it makes yours, too.

Bowser: You’d better buckle down and do your work or you’ll end up at McDonalds.

Lemmy: We’re going to McDonalds if I don’t do my work?

Bowser: NO!

lachryphagy is the term used to describe the behaviour of tear drinking in nature, typically in environments - like the purvian amazon shown here - where sodium and other micronutrients are hard to find. 

bees and butterflies need sodium for egg production and metabolic purposes, but their diets of nectar are low in salt. so the orange julia and sulfur yellow butterflies you see here turn to the salty tears of often stationary turtles and caiman. 

and though the caiman and turtles seem to receive no reciprocal benefit from the interaction, they’re apparently happy enough to just help out. (x, x, x, x, x, x)

how to tell a beetle from a bug!!! Both groups can come in wildly varied shapes but once you get to know them the differences feel obvious at a glance, like two different art styles.

The biggest differences are that a bug has flat wings folded over each other, when it has wings, and a bug also has only a single straw-like tube for a mouth! Bugs also don’t have a larval stage!

wait, CICADAS dont have larval stages? whats the difference between their 17th birthday thing and nymphs then? :0

Larvae are worm-like and have to go through a pupa to become the adult, whereas “nymphs,” like in all the true bugs, already have bodies similar to the adult, but without wings or functional reproductive organs. Cicada nymphs are exceptionally different from their final stage, in that they also have digging claws!

OH ok thank you!! ive been confused all my life on what exactly larvae/larval stage means, because in sweden larv means ONLY the little worm-like dudes, and not nymphs, but when i started researching bugs in english i found that people consider nymphs AND those little worm-like dudes larvae/larval stages, so i got confused. i thought it sounded weird that cicadas didnt have nymphs...

so all true bugs have nymphs but not all nymphs are true bugs? :oc
