Just Two Cuties Bonding Over Dead Things

havent posted in a while, take some original shit

these are zara, lexi and zero. zara is the okder model robot, zero is the new looking onw and lexi is human, might explain more, but this is me trying to put down what they might look like

The trolls as insects (i might draw them later)

Aradia Megido - Maroon Ghost Moth (Elhamma australasiae)

Moths have been repeatedly portrayed as a sign of death. Also, their fluffiness matches the one of Aradia's hair XD. When I read this one's name it was inevitable (ghost???, maroon??, literally her oh my gooood).

Tavros Nitram - Question Mark Butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis)

Mostly based off of the Summoner and Rufioh having wings, I didn't want to make it a monarch butterfly because Tavros is in no way royalty.

Sollux Captor - Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)

Pretty self explanatory, Sollux always had a connection (and obsession) with bees. They also sting, which is kind of a metaphor for the psionics.

Karkat Vantas - Seven Spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata)

Ladybirds are always seen as special, even though this instance is not a mutation per se, it's special and red. Also, ladybirds are commonplace pests (which is kind of what Karkat is to HIC).

Nepeta Leijon - Pale Green Assassin Bug (Zelus luridus)

I looked up some good bug hunters and I got assassin bugs, nepeta is the mightiest of huntresses, so it fits.

Kanaya Maryam - Green Headed Ant (Rhytidoponera metallica)

I was doubting wether to make Kanaya an ant or a silk moth, but ultimately, moths are a better representation of Aradia, and ants mimic jade-blood's function in troll society better. A part from being green, this species of ant apparently has a nice bite, which is representative of Kanaya's fierceness.

Terezi Pyrope - Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata)

I am aware that the dragonfly pictured is male, just ignore that lol, headcanon the trolls as hermaphroditic (i will post about their biological cycle hehe). Dragonflies are said to be insect's best predators, Terezi is also a vicious and precise hunter, if not of other trolls literally, of outcomes and possibilities (she is intelligent, and a Seer of Mind).

Vriska Serket - Peacock Tarantula (Poecilotheria metallica)

Also pretty self explanatory, it's a blue spider, therefore Vriska Serket. Spiders in general are already a good representation of how she is percieved (with fear lol). Yea, simple explanation.

Equius Zahhak - "Pure Blue" Giant Flower Beetle (Mecynorhina torquata)

The strongest of bugs are beetles (among some types of ants, who are better described as proportionally strongest). This particular one is also pretty big and strong, and coincidentally presents this type of coloration.

Gamzee Makara - Purple-Winged Grasshopper (Titanacris albipes)

Originally was going to be a praying mantis, but the orchid mantis was just too perfect for Feferi. Locusts also have ties to religion and mythology, which was my main focus for finding Gamzee's insect (they have been, fittingly, a symbol of destruction for eons).

Eridan Ampora - Canopy Mosquito (Sabethes cyaneus)

Tbh, I based most of this decision off of the fact that Eridan is annoying (I don't hate him, it's just his personality, unfortunately). Also, mosquitos breed in water (at least that's what my parents always told me) which matches the aquatic theme.

Feferi Peixes - Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)

Feferi is the troll I had the most trouble with. Originally I tried keeping up with the aquatic theme and had found Ranatra linearis, a stickbug that looks like a mantis and hunts little fish. I discarded the option because even though it was aquatic, the connections with Feferi kind of ended there.

I then tried to search for a bug that had "empress" in the name, and had chosen Megapomponia imperatoria, a giant as fuck cicada. It didn't convince me either though.

I chose the orchid mantis because, mantises are cutthroat, good hunters and pink as fuck. If that's not a description of the tyrian blood caste I don't know what is.

I wanted to make one of these drawing comparisons to different species of ants. There exist some cool af ants out there, I might do it.

Awww, look at them dancing, just two little guys

Homestuck and the simpsons if there ever was a homestuck episode. They would get along so well actually...

There are other dynamics that would probably also be funny,,, like Kankri and the Flanders family as a whole lol

These are the thoughts in my brain everytime i have to watch the simpsons with my family, to distract myself from the pain sometimes

first post ever, also,,,, homestuck in 2025???

I watched Memoir of a Snail yesterday,, i really liked it. It's a very sad and densely dramatic movie, but it's able to encapsulate a very large amount of lessons and themes.

A very notable component is the abundance of death. From the beginning of the story until the end, the dead and dying play an important part of the main character's life. Grace Pudel is a twin, but she spends most of the film extremely, extremely alone.

The climax of the film, where everything is lost, is always an important way to tell what the film is valuing and teaching. In this case, Grace has lost everyone, her parents, her brother, her partner and her best friend. Additionally, she has realised what could make her happy, after all of the tragedy, but has no way to claim the key to her cage.

Grace escapes her cluster of madness thanks to all of the people around her that have loved her. Pinky is there for her when she realises that she caused a big portion of her own misfortune. Her brother, Gilbert, becomes her indefinite companion.

Essentially, Memoir of a Snail is about the curse and cycle of loneliness, the endless downfall of not getting better because you're not okay. It's also about escaping it, and realising the importance of other people. Thirdly, it's about the sadness of being the spectator to your own life, never really living, but existing.

When we cause nothing in the world, not sadness, nor happiness, we can never truly care about anything. At our core, we are proud of what we build. If our magnum opus is a cage, breaking it down will take the most insufferable strife.

working on another comic in the middle of class lol, ill make it more consistent this time, these boys are gonna have a talk about the gender bullshit
