#chilopodophobia

[morning-frostie]

love the callback to ragatha’s chilopodophobia from back in episode one when she said centipedes were the only thing she was afraid of to when jax told her there were centipedes in the insect bomb in episode five. a nice little reference for the viewers.

Something truly from an oil painting painting just happened.

It's 0:45pm and my mother is bawling her eyes out because there's a big centipede (around 12cm long) crawling in our house in a really bad spot, where you can't quite catch it. And here i am trying to put it in a jar while hysterically laughing because I've never seen my mother cry this way.

I actually succeeded, but now I'm shaking and my stomach hurts. Am i overreacting over a bug? Yes of course. But that's my thing practically- i do the thing and then my body shuts down on itself. Good night to y'all. I'm staying up for a bit more now.

Something I've been working on in-between commissions. It's very rough but I wanted to finish it so I could move on to greater, other Deidara-centric artwork lol.

As an aside, if you dislike invertebrates (doubly so if you dislike spiders) please keep your comments to yourself. I understand arachnophobia is very prevalent but I myself keep spiders and am not interested in reading comments about harming them. Thank you.

i associate him with greens, tans, and browns. would probably wear a lot of black though LOL

i wanted to draw him in cute casual. but i'm sure he would have an adventurous fashion sense (something i DISTINCTLY lack)

It's the Queen of Bugsnax!

(Click for better quality)

Full design

Gave it parts of all the main boss bugsnax. This is based of this mural,

This is from an au idea where Lizbert doesn't become the next queen and the island is not as parasitic. Rather it is controlled by the first queen that became more bugsnax like to survive the rath she created and roams the Undersnax (which is more cave like), determined to make sure no one else is sacrificed to the bugsnax.

The drawing that got my brain working.

I love centipedes and am having a lot of fun with this monster.

ALT: a comparative chart about centipedes. the first part says: "would a criminal centipede attack you like this?" and shows a centipede holding a regular sized kitchen knife with her little legs. and the second part says: "or like this?" and shows a centipede holding tiny kitchen knives in each one of her little legs.

I have to weed out the garden, but there are many spiders and I am scared of them, particularly the large ones, even though I know they're not going to hurt me because there are no deadly/poisonous spiders in my country. Any tips?

Well, the first thing you can do is wear gloves, because that’ll keep you from being accidentally touched. Long sleeves help, too. (I’m terrified of house centipedes, even though I know they’re beneficial mostly, so I get it. Thankfully, there are no house centipedes in Oregon! I was so delighted to learn this news.) 

Anyway. The thing that helped me to actually really love spiders (I used to be terrified of them, too, when I was little) was learning about them. And bees, too. I started aggressively thanking the bees when I was something like nine or ten. My mom said I like... yelled “THANK YOU BEES” instead of screaming whenever one would startle me. “THANK YOU FOR HONEY AND FLOWERS!” 

It was silly, but, it changed my mindset over time.
