Trap-jaw ants use their powerful mandibles to launch themselves into the air away from potential predators or intruders. This one was filmed at 3000 frames per second and then played back in slow motion. Patek lab, Duke University.
I also filled out this relationship chart by @bakuynedayi ! You can find the blank here. Featuring Araya's doodling in white & pink because why not.
Mostly focusing on Syntax as she isn't involved with stopping Kit & Gobbles in the pilot :P
To explain some of them (besides Miss Information & Warrick),
- Both are on good terms but Fold holds some jealously towards Araya (she's dating both his boss & annoying teammate, making her being treated better than him getting strangled by HER BOYFRIEND)
- Malice finds Araya's cutesy anime girl charm really annoying & she would get goo goo babies teasingly babied by her (Araya does this to all recruits who joined after her). Same with Mayhem but he's more cautious. He's rather afraid of Araya, knowing how violent she get when fighting Farcade, so he keeps an eye on her.
- Araya & Crab Girl became best friends very quickly because Crab Girl can have as many friends as she wants. Probably why Warrick has some fondness towards her.
- What's up with Snappers' icon? Well...

Bro do NOT listen to Hozier’s cover of Do I Wanna Know while drawing your ship. You’ll get sad
Anyway here’s my Gameoverse s/i, Scout! She’s just as her name implies, a scout for the main heroes so she can help them from the inside. She actually used to work for Malice (she was hella manipulated), but turned around after meeting Kit and Kaboodle. Despite his justified reservations against her, he still felt very empathetic for the cat, and she eventually joined the heroes with the power of friendship ✨✨ and her insane love for Kaboodle. She’s a big sucker for romance.
Despite her selflessness and loyalty to the heroes, she still feels very inadequate and unworthy of their love, especially from her crush. She constantly compares herself and suffers with imposter syndrome. When the destruction of her game comes and goes, she feels even more helpless than before. But thankfully, she still has her little backpack buddy for his attempts at comfort lmfao.
Some stuff with Scout and the gameoverse relationship chart by @bakuynedayi :) if you want any details about what’s happening here just ask in the comments or my asks!
This chart is as of the pilot, so things are bound to change :) I’ll probably change some things when more episodes release
This is the last time I will make a post about this situation for the time being, because frankly I don’t want to give the guy any more attention, but because he won’t shut up about ppl he doesn’t know online I wanna at least make something and say something.
Your threats don’t mean shit to me, and no amount of slurs or insults you throw at me don’t make me feel any more horrible about myself than you wish they would, because quite frankly they hold no water. The only reason why I’m so pissed off is because you’re going after my friends and innocent fandom members that only want to make fanart and self shipping art. You’re incredibly lesbophobic, you’re racist, you’re misogynistic, and you’ve sexually harassed my friend multiple times, and had the gall to insult her after rightfully blocking you. You say you’re 22 but I honestly don’t buy it.
I don’t give a shit if you wanna stalk my blog and leave hate comments before blocking me again, but go after my friends and mutuals again and I’ll keep blocking and reporting every blog you have, because you sure seem to love running blogs that either glaze or hate on the same people over and over. This trolling campaign is becoming tiresome.
Anyway @candyheartedchy here’s some fanart 😋 Have a good one girly
Ok, I think it's time I finally tell you all about my Gameoverse oc
(also I'm tagging @candyheartedchy because the second she saw Dusk she was in my messages advertising him to me because I am nothing if not a predictable bitch who sees or hears "vampire" and instantly blacks out 😔)
Her name is Dawn, and she is not only Dusk's wife, but healthpack as well.
She has a dress version of Dusk's big long cape, one of those dresses with a very long train. The couple has a matching color scheme.
We meet her for the first time when we meet Dusk for the first time. She is on his arm when he offers his hand to Kit.
When he offers his hand to Kit, she tightens her grip on her arm & looks up at him with this totally in love look. When we get Kit's pov on him offering his hand we get to see his health pack wife not only grip his arm tighter but we see that her nails are sort of like iv needles and her tight grip is to heal/“feed” him.
Realistically she would only be in that 3 second moment with her husband, but just for shits and giggles..............
I like to imagine that Dusk is like "Alright my darling, I'm entrusting you to go with this cat on her ship and help her along with our goal, ok?" and Dawn does it of course, but since she was made to be Dusk's wife and healing source she's all weepy about how much she misses him and everyone else on the little ship is like "girl........"
Dawn will be on the phone with Dusk for little check ins and progress updates and Dawn is all happy and giggly while on the phone and then the call ends and she flips her little phone shut and INSTANTLY gets those big tear-filled anime eyes and pulls out a little decorative hanky to dab at her eyes and blow her nose and the others aboard are like "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?!!?"
It plays out something like this:
Dawn: *instantly starts tearing up and getting sad the second she doesn't hear Dusk's voice anymore*
Kit, trying to be kind and understanding: Dawn............
Dawn: *in tears* Dawn?!?!! That's what Dusk calls me!!!
Kaboodle, more angry than he’s ever been: THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FUCKING NAME!!!!!
(it has come to my attention that the name Dawn may belong to a future character from the poster that we haven't met yet. if that ends up being true, i will change the name of my oc. until then, the name Dawn is mine 😈)
Does Kinger try to give Caine the talk when he starts showing an interest in Ragatha? Does Bubble still have the swear filters? I think it would be really funny if Kinger tries to explain sex and all Caine can hear is cartoonish sound effects. He’s like “oh thank god” and then Bubble appears and scares the shit out of them.
Miss Information, undercover as a maid, was tasked with handing out flyers (with Fold tucked in her apron's pocket). She took this opportunity to take a stroll & search for Araya (at that time known as Maid Strawberry Milk).
While searching, an aggressive maid went up & threatened her to leave the street she was at. At first, Miss Info was gonna play innocent before kicking them & make a run for it... but she wasn't aware the maid she's looking for was close by.
Araya stood up for Miss Info, told the maid to leave her peacefully. But the furious maid was a skeptic of Araya's brutal nature so when she tried to strike a punch, Araya grabbed her by the legs & slammed them on their back, straight down onto the pavement.
So there she was, Miss Info stunted by the game's newest chapter's protagonist asking her if she's okay... as if she didn't break another maid's back just now.
Miss Information's uniform, she went by the name Maid Tots . Honestly she chose this maid restaurant because its uniforms are purple & yellow lol.
There are a subgroup of maid entertainment facilities called "maid restaurants". ShakaShaka-Shakestaurant was one & one of the main maid facilities the game focused on.
It was a maid burger shop (not a fast food restaurant, calling them that is rude!) based on vintage American fast food aesthetics. Known for their signature shaker fries, their maids wear rollerskates and they make ketchup drawings on burger buns instead of omurice.
Miss Inf— Er, Maid Tots realised it's not just serving food. It's a whole acting gig; being all cutesy & charming towards mostly male customers. It's exhausting... And humiliating! Luckily her target has 10 years of maid experience and is excited to help & give advice to a new maid! Thus a friendship formed...
Also he's not heavily involved but here's Fold in the ShakaShaka-Shakestaurant uniform for the Fold enjoyers lol. Yes with the skirt. I think he'd go by Maid Fillet (Filet-O-Fish).

I've waited so long for Gameoverse to come out and after watching the pilot, I'm very impressed!
What's funny is that... I gained TWO f/os from it : Warrick (who I first had a crush on since the trailer) and Miss Information.
This is also my first poly selfship so be nice... I've been wanting to try polyamory for a long while because Honestly I don't like monogamy anymore. (It's probably why I have so many f/os LOL)

Now... What is a maid doing at Syntax? Often mistaken as the cleaning maid or janitor, she's actually a recruit!
Despite her warm and friendly demeanor with a smile, her background is not for the faint of heart...
Maid Araya, or just Araya, originated from a gacha shoot em up game loosely inspired on the anime, Akiba Maid War, now set in the fictional 2030 with entirely new cast of characters. The game has different chapters following different maid cafes' storyline. Among the many cafes, there are the "higher ranks", the crime lords that dominate Akihabara.
One of them was The Purrfect Lounge. A luxury maid cafe served by Victorian style catgirl maids. Actual catgirls. It's a long story.
Araya, formerly went by Maid Strawberry Milk, worked for The Purrfect Lounge since it opened in 2020. She was bred & bought for entertainment so her entire life was the cafe.
Unlike other playable maids who fought with weapons, Araya fights with her hands (and a bulletproof shield for protection). She was terrifying; able to tear limbs, decapitate & punch through bodies. Even before released as a playable, previous chapters often told of her violent crimes. She was the cafe's living weapon.
She used to held pride in her massacres. It gave her euphoria for protecting the cafe she loved & lived for. This changed when The Purrfect Lounge's treatment towards her worsened. She was feared & isolated by other catgirl maids & is only handled by the other maids higher ranked than her. Her image was told like a mythical tale, causing more maids to fear her. Those killings now made her felt empty.
Araya managed her humanity by secretly befriending other maids from different cafes. She yearned for an escape, of friendship & happiness... Many mistaken her sweetness being a persona but it's hard to believe it... kindness and care can somehow coexist with a raging anger of a thousand suns and a hunger for gore & glory.
Her game updated with a new chapter, focused on Araya as the protagonist. Bluntly titled, "The Downfall of The Purrfect Lounge". Syntax took advantage of this.
During their harvest mission, Miss Information took on as a maid to get close with Araya (with Fold hidden in her pocket). She was surprised how strangely sweet, tragic she is and developed a fondness for her. She noted her incredible fighting skill, heightened senses and... executions... would be beneficial to Syntax.
Since her Game World's destruction, she works for Syntax with much more enthusiasm. She's their greatest fighter (and was gifted gauntlets for better damage) and her warmness works well manipulating heros. Outside of missions, she loves taking care of new recruits and sometimes clean up the ship if she feels like it.
What's shocking is... she got TWO romantic partners out of this : Miss Information (the first she fell for, who inspired her to escape & wanting more in life) & Warrick (who supports her constantly, encouraging her gruesome side and adores watching her fight).
The two aren't dating each other but Warrick knows Miss Information as a excellent recruit who treats Araya well since the beginning. Miss Information sees this as an ego boost for dating Syntax's best & Warrick's partner.
Fold is... unfortunately the fourth wheel. Usually tagging along Miss Information and Araya.
