That sounds like an AWESOME IDEA! Not just for the horny thoughts, but also for lore! I can only imagine how primitive alien life could work with the intelligent alien life. Yeah it may sound simple, but think about it! What caused them to separate from the popular intelligent bees/other bugs? If they evolved along side the intelligent ones (like they were next door neighbors during evolution or something) then why don't the intelligent bees know more about them?
And also, since they are more physically stronger then the intelligent ones, what if sending a traitor to the land of the beasts with... Idk only a stick for defense could be a punishment? (And then a bunch of reasercher bugs go to follow in secret to see how the beast bugs respond to the different kinds of traitors? Like one traitor (or 'traitor' if you know what I mean) might be a hulking general that could hold their own, another might be a humble lady/lord in waiting or something, idk)
I'm sorry, I absolutely LOVE lore building/digging. This idea is practically a gold mine for me (well its your idea, so it's YOUR gold mine, I'm just the... Idk humble civilian who wishes to witness the great gold mine of the great blog of MommaBean)
Oh I love the idea of sending the traitors to the primal lands as punishment! I also love the idea of it being a right of passage either for young bees heading to claim new territory of their own or for soldiers who are just out of training.
They don’t HAVE to kill them, it’s actually preferred they think around that unless absolutely necessary, and they have to prove their wits are just as strong as their bodies if they want to either protect the queen or start a new home on a new frontier.
Don’t be sorry at all! These types of things are what I’m looking for! Deep diving, world building, I love it!
There’s so many theories we could come up with on how the primal bugs differed from the normal bugs in the beginning, and many more traits we can give either forms to show how drastic or intense they’ve become!
Y’all, don’t be shy, have fun with me! This blog is a loving, happy, and brilliant place for you to share and express!
