well, you see, the thing is: (instead of finishing my sentence i curl up comfortably in bed and go to sleep

#i am sooo tired. all the time #and i am sooooo stressed. but being so brave about it.#clamtalk

we just keep naming bugs like this

#this is honestly my favorite type of common names. i love when we give that guy some strange adjective #clamtalk #bugposting #bugs #entomology

thought process Hornet’s abdomen would be stick thin because she’s not eating worth shit -> she’s never gonna be ready for a molt in that state -> wait when did hornet last molt. When is she due for a molt -> Wait it’s occurred to me. What if she’s so small not because of Pale King’s short genes but instead because she hasn’t molted in years due to not eating properly -> if Hornet starts eating more do you think she’ll molt again and get bigger -> BIG HORNET?

#By the time Silksong starts she’s so far past her due molt shes starting to get stiff. So movement is hard #Watsonian (Hornet is so off in Pharloom because she’s past due for a molt) vs doylist (you suck ass at game)#Makes sense to me. Anyway what if hornet got big ☝️consider #She says something at some point about not needing sustenance but like. Girl what if you did #I understand the immortality partial godhood thing yeah whatever But Consider: What if you did..#silksong #clamtalk

In a once in a lifetime opportunity she stayed outside of her burrow after I opened the lid so. Behold. Unobscured Whisk

#the characteristic t. albopilosus triangle is on her head now :) look at her silly triangle marking.#also i was talking to my advisor (who is also a spider scientist) about her and he said with the size she is at this age #she's probably a female. females tend to grow slower #so if that's the case yay :) i will have her for many many years assuming all goes well #clamtalk #housecreatures #tarantula #spider #arachnophobia

since we're talking about silksong's nakey sequence I want to mention how interesting it is to me how it reveals that bugs just don't seem to care about nudity. Which makes total sense, seeing as many bugs we see are already naked, but it's just incredibly funny to have Hornet, totally nude, approach Grindle to talk and neither of them mention it. Not even the slightest sly comment from Grindle who is a bastard in all other ways. He has only ever seen her cloaked until now and mans doesn't even bat an eye. Like ok I guess we're feeling like being butt ass naked now, good for you, but I can't steal any shit from you so idrc about that right now

#if we're being True To Bug Anatomy like. yeah it makes total sense there'd be no 'embarrassment' association with being naked #Outside of ovipositors sex organs are typically not all that visible #and given ovipositors have been modified in all sortsa ways by different bugs. I really doubt anyone cares about that either #Up until this point . There being no reaction to bugs being naked could just be passed off as like. Cartoon logic you know?#in the same way that a character like Winnie the Pooh wears a shirt but no pants #but now we have a situation where a clothed character is suddenly unclothed. And usually in those very same cartoon-logic situations #there'll be a reaction Of Some Kind. even if it doesn't really make sense #but here it's just like. Oh ok i'm naked now. Anyways #anyway i love gleaming worldbuilding from small interactions that don't matter LEAVE ME ALONE #silksong #silksong spoilers #<- jic #clamtalk

me: Hey girl, love to see you. You’re one’a my favorites, truly. But your presence here brings some unfortunate implications. Like there’s only one real reason you’d be in my room and it’s not a reason I’m all that fond of, you know. If I escort you outside will you stay outside, or are you just gonna come back in here in search of your prey, which I don’t want verification of being present through your return?

the ever resilient ensign wasp, parasitoid of cockroach egg cases:

#Picture taken by me. In my room.#Love ensign wasps. I think they’re super cool. But being in my room. Well. The implications…#Those aren’t good implications:(#bugposting #bugs #wasp #clamtalk

had a self-depreciating thought that was immediately followed up by me absentmindedly muttering "siffrin ass thought process" until i realized what i said and immediately the thought was banished from my mind. because i was bewilderedly giggling. thanks isat for the cool mental health trick i guess

#how to stop self-depreciation with one simple trick: realize you sound an awful lot like siffrin isat right now /j #clamtalk #isat

snorted. no staff not even you can make me look at that
