The giant ant is complete, and it turned out so much better than I’d even imagined! It’s also surprisingly easy to comfortably carry around, which I did not expect

i don't know enough about ants to make a "top ten ants post" (i'm sorry. if i had time i'd do research! but i'm busy...) BUT!! i DO know enough about pokemon to make a top ten ant POKEMON post!!

top ten ant pokemon:

#10 - Durant (The Iron Ant Pokemon)

i mean. just look at it! durant is SO COOL!! but what i REALLY love about durant is it's LORE.

durant's main predator is heatmor, an anteater pokemon, reflecting the relationship between ants and anteaters out here in the real world! HOWEVER! what's REALLY fun about durant's lore is that they became covered in steel in order to protect themselves from heatmor! according to pokemon black's pokedex entry:

They attack in groups, covering themselves in steel armor to protect themselves from Heatmor.

which, uh. is sort of an issue? since durant, a bug/ steel type, is DOUBLY weak to heatmor, a FIRE type. so, uh. whoops!

another really fun thing about durant, though, is it's hidden ability - truant! other than slakoth and slaking, durant is the only pokemon with access to the ability truant - and it's complete garbage! it only allows the pokemon to attack every other turn, which! is really bad! which makes it so funny as a hidden ability, as hidden abilities are. not easy to get? anyway XD

#9 - uh wait. durant is the only ant pokemon. uh. fuck. well ig it's just durant then. durant ily!

Flying Ant Day

Flying Ant Day: annual swarming events wherein millions of flying ants take to the skies specifically to ruin the day of innocent bystanders!

Fun fact: these swarms can be so enormous that they show up on weather radars and get mistaken for rain :)

[ID: The first image is digital art of a aromantic-colored ant holding an aromantic pride flag in its mandibles. The ant is facing forward, with its head slightly angled to the left. The ant has a grey head with black eyes, antennae, and mandibles, a white and light green thorax, and a dark green abdomen. The first pair of legs are grey, the second white, and the third light green.

The second image is a screenshot from @youneedbetterstandards, showing the aromantic-colored tag #aromantic against tumblr’s dark mode, so the tag appears to say “aro ant c” instead. End ID]
