Hi, we're the Ant System! We post about a variety of stuff, including chronic illness, LGBTQIA+ stuff, science, memes, and fandom stuff.

Intro Post

(we accidentally deleted the old intro post so here's a new one)

hi, we're the Ant System/Ant Colony. we're a polyfragmented system with a relatively high alter count. we generally tag our posts with whoever posted them, but for the most part the blog is run by our hosts (🍬 & 🦋) and a few frequent fronters.

we also have a bunch of sideblogs (a lot of these are run by the system as a whole or by specific groups of alters):

some of us also have individual sideblogs:

  • @melliferous-coffins - 🍬's sideblog. it's mostly recipes, candy, slime gifs, and honey. be warned that there's a lot of honeycomb on there so it might not be great if you have trypophobia
  • @ranunculusandsunbeams - Sylvain's sideblog. mostly self care reminders, wholesome positivity stuff, and photos of flowers and fruit
  • @inthesupersargassosea - 🦋's sideblog. mostly stuff to do with space, aliens, UFOs, cryptids, etc.

and here are our Pronouns Pages:

and some other social media sites in case you want to find us elsewhere:

The back panel of baby's first battle jacket is complete 🍅🏴☀️ Hand painted design plus some storebought iron on letters I eventually had to just sew on individually. @_@

Now to add some patches and spikes...

I just remembered that the doctor I saw earlier suggested gradually introducing garlic back into my diet after I told her that eating even small amounts causes allergic reactions where I go feel like I'm gonna pass out and end up having to take my rescue inhaler. like excuse me? that's not a safe thing to fucking do? that's how you end up making your body react worse over time???
