okay so on the one hand, Peppercorn passed a month and a half ago and I still feel pangs whenever I pass the enclosure in the kitchen, I'd not planned on getting another snake soon, didn't know if I'd be ready
but as it turns out my friend needs to emergency rehome a small handful of reptiles (someone in the building snitched on their fancy enclosure-wall setup) and now we're arranging transport for one of her two corns for me
Meet Hermès. Name inspired by of course, Hermes, God of boundaries, roads, travelers, merchants, thieves, athletes, shepherds, commerce, speed, cunning, language, oratory, wit, messages, and also the French luxury design house that is popular amongst the queer community.
Gender hasn't been able to identified thus far, so, Hermés remains without a gender.
Cicada. It/its pronouns. 18. alloaro baby butch objectum. artist, writer, worldbuilder. horror and circus and insect and mannequin fan. weird cat thing.
This blog has a little bit of everything, mostly reblogs with original stuff thrown in too. My art/writing/etc. tag is #cicadas creations, feel free to check it out!
Spam likes and/or reblogs welcomed and appreciated here
I have bad anxiety among other things so I may not be the one to reach out first, but I don't mind DMs or asks or any other form of interaction at all! Feel free to message me or send me asks, if I don't respond its likely because I didn't see it or I saw it and forgot about it.
I trigger tag things as "cw: [thing]". Note that I don't really tag general horror (unless it features something else that needs tagged, such as gore) or bugs/insects (unless they're spiders). If you need anything tagged, please let me know and I'll fix it right away.
No set DNI because they're not super effective, I'll just block you if I don't like you. Please inform me if I reblog something from a t*rf/racist/zionist/other bigot, as I don't always know or check.

My snake with almost everyone: Do not touch me. Do not perceive me. Every day I pray to an uncaring god for the sands in your pitiful hourglass to finally run their course and forever remove you from my sight.
My snake with my dad: Oh! 🥰 Warm man! 🥰 Man who is warm! 🥰 Cradle me like a baby, I have so missed your company.
