Bug oc bug oc!

I've had the idea of a spittlebug oc that uses foam as a way to accessorize for a long while-

[shmell0]

BG ideas :D

Spiders

It's a clan

Aristocrats. Victorian aesthetic

The whole family lives on one place

I wanted most spiders to be blind or have very poor vision, so they use webs to navigate their home better and stuff (via vibrations), but... I read that most insects have poor eyesight, so i guess it's kind of unfair/hypocritical to make spiders like that

They have magic related to interdimensional travel

What if flies are their servants lol

Butterflies

Also a clan? I think?

They have illusion magic (arthropods can disguise themself as humans because of them, i think). Maybe charming magic???

Entertainers probably

But like. That's horrible because lower-class butterflies aren't really seen as people. Simple entertainers for others

Maybe they have flower related names

Butterfly leader's name is Hyacinth

I really want to make Hyacinth kind of good. He has potential to be good, he just needs to see other insects' perspective yk. Realize that the system is bad. But i don't know if i make it canon

Moth

Also a clan

They really value their family

They're kind of closed off and independent

Idk what their theme should be. Fighting? Weapons? I have no idea

They have strained relationship with spiders because of their stubborness

They should have something special with butterflies. Are they enemies? Are they friends? Are they family???

Moths leader is some species of death's-head hawkmoth

Ants

Most of them are factory workers

They also have places (maybe called kindergartens, idk) there queens live and lay eggs. Some workers take care for eggs and children

Workers don't have names, only numbers (because nobody cares anymore)

Also i think workers are kind of genderless (they're women biologically, but that's not important right now)? Nobody really thinks about their gender (they're supposed to be workers first, anything else second) + they're supposed to look the same. And maybe being feminine or masculine is only for queens and drones, yk

Ants leader is a cool buff woman i think hehe

Bees and bumblebees:

Their system is similar to ants

But they make food or something

Maybe they don't even have a leader, spiders decided to shove them into the same category as ants

Centipedes:

Made a post about them (check comments by @/1tz-cha0s!! Love their ideas!!!) don't want to tag you, just in case you don't like seeing posts about insects

Maybe add something about censorship? Maybe spiders forced them to hide some information

Misc:

Other bugs are just lower-class citizens i think???

Dragonflies can be postmen and handle deliveries (because they're super fast)

Maybe wasps make paper?.. Or maybe they're soldiers... Idk...

Kinda want to scientist guy to be a dragonfly, but uhhh. Would spiders let dragonfly to be a scientist? Especially if he's probably disabled but like he's a genius so maybe it can be an exception

made a bio thing for ace based off of things he does in the books! i made some for xerces and zito too that i'll post another time; they aren't really meant to be super informative but i thought it would be fun to make :]

Some OC art I managed to make when participating in my friend 2ee's Magma sessions.

The former is Asteria Lycos, a bounty huntress with aims to enact revenge on the mantid empire for killing her mother....

...And the latter is her target, Coran Diabolica, the runaway prince of said empire who desires nothing more than to kill his own mother.

Maybe someday I'll actually write their story out in full, hahah.

Bug City DND Interest Check

Hi! This is a quick interest check for a dnd group with a Dark Urban Fantasy Setting populated entirely by Anthropomorphic Insects. I, Cher

Heyyy

I hope to host a Dark Urban Fantasy D&D game (or possibly a different ttrpg if anyone has suggestions for a better system) where all the NPCS and Players will be anthro bugs!

If you're interested, please fill out the form!

Been playing a lot of Hollow Knight. Felt like making a buggo character. I don’t have a name for him yet.

friendly reminder that xerces can canonically carry ace (& zito) and carries him away from danger twice in book 1
