Please, dear gods, whoever that is reading this, please listen to me and do not call upon him. Do not make the same mistakes that I did. Do not believe that you are unique enough come out whole. Do not think satisfaction will bring the dead cat back, satisfaction will not bring you back.

There is little reason for flesh and dirt and blood to ever need His presence and even if there is cause that calls for him, you are to call upon a messenger, an envoy or another god, but not him, not him, not him, not directly, lest you wish to feel the pain of a thousand broken bones, to feel your blood heave upon your veins, and to feel every cell that moves through your body.

Man was not to explore the skies above, yet he did. Man was not to explore the depths below, yet he did. Then man thought he can do anything, thought he can rise to face the gods and come back down unscathed. But man was never supposed to see the face of a god, let alone one his own earthly, unworthy gods bow down to. Man was not to seek the Crawling Chaos, yet we foolishly did, mistaking the terrified silence of our gods with their allowance, thinking that the treatable pain they gave us meant we can mend all wounds.

Please heed my warnings, save yourself and kill your curiosity, for there is no price worth paying for His tainted presence, and there is no stitch that will close the wounds He will tear into our world.

I think there are too many people throwing around that wasps can recognise human faces for something that has only been confirmed in one wasp species (and not even the species people usually seem to bring up)

Northern paper wasps (Polistes fuscatus) have been found to process the faces of other wasps as a whole, rather than just a collection of individual parts. This is called holistic processing, and it's the same way humans typically process each other's faces. This has been tested in a couple of other Polistes species and they did not process faces in the same way. This is very cool for Northern paper wasps! But crucially, processing each others' faces this way does not mean they process human faces the same. Recognising one another aids them due to their specific social dynamics, but recognising humans wouldn't present the same evolutionary pressures. In one study, their holistic processsing didn't even extend to another paper wasp species, but recognition of human faces has not been tested in paper wasps so we can't say one way or the other even if it looks unlikely

However, it has been tested in other species! Common yellowjackets (Vespula vulgaris) and Western honeybees (Apis mellifera) were capable of discriminating between human faces (although they had to be taught to do so as they probably don't do so naturally) and it seems they also have some capacity for holistic processing. Nevertheless, I feel like I see paper wasps brought up more often than yellowjackets when this fact comes up

There's a lot that still needs studying on this topic, and what we do have points to some really interesting hymenopteran abilities that are not found in many other animals, but it does frustrate me seeing these things exaggerated and overgeneralised to all wasps/Hymenoptera and then presented as facts when there simply isn't evidence for that yet. I love wasps and I typically see this brought up to endear people to them, which I respect, but spreading misinformation for a 'good cause' is still unhelpful

not a good person but not a bad person either. I can be a bitch but I’m very kind too. I’ll just never be as kind as I wish I was, but also not as bad as I fear I am

Take a look at this candy cane baby! This is a nymph of a Mirid Bug in the genus Monalonion!

These colors are meant to deter predators from eating them but this definitely has the opposite effecg in humans...
