can you hear them?

@bringmetheireyes

a bit of a simp

It's been too rainy for the moth-trap the past few days, so please enjoy this spongey moth (Lymantria dispar) that visited last year, with it's magnificent antenna & big round eyes. May we all have days of looking this fabulous.

This moth feeds on various trees, and can cause significant forestry problems in areas where it's been introduced by humans. (We're great at transporting species around the world, dropping them in areas outside their natural range, and then complaining about what they do there.)

Luckily for this particular moth, the species isn't listed as a pest or reportable in my area, so it flew on about its day. We don't see spongey moths every year in this part of the UK, so I enjoyed it's visit!

I drew the moth :D

I love them so much :)

Hi! I absolutely love how you draw women, like, they just look so cool! And badass!

I'm curious about your oc, prophet. What's her personality? What does she look like? (Does she have a voice claim?)

thank you so much !! thats very sweet to hear !

oh man propeht, she's a very stoic and quiet character, a 'built-to-be-a-war-machine' type of person, her biology is all fucked up and she got crazy regeneration powers etc, she is (or was) very revenge driven during the campaign i played her in, but now she settled down with her demon wife debbie in the abyss to open a diner (very cute, she deserves it sobs)

I don't have any super recent art for her but here's a ref I made last year! (and if I had to imagine how her voice would be I think it would be very growly/eerie!)

creature in fiction: *is portrayed as bad and mean*

8 year old me: but what if there was a good and nice one :0

there’s no age limit for this

youre right…………..

me at 8: but what if you gave it a hug?

me at 31: but what if you gave it a hug?

The neurodivergent reaction to bad and mean creatures: but what if someone loved this unlovable thing? Maybe it would be possible for me, also a strange and burdensome and unlovable thing, to be loved as well?

this is a legitimate problem in robotics.

like, if you're a bomb disposal guy and your team has a cool bomb-disposal robot which you've given a cutesy name to, you may hesitate to put that robot in harm's way, which is NOT OPTIMAL in the bomb-disposing field.

it also doesn't help if you hold funerals for the robots after they get exploded (this happens pretty regularly).

anyway nobody has worked out how to stop humans from pack-bonding with literally inanimate objects and they probably never will. (like even knowing it's a problem, I *still* think those EOD robots deserve funerals).

In 2007, the US military rejected a multi-limbed anti-mine robot because it's demise was too inhumane.

oh perfect, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about
