worm wife <3
I do not know why the hive chose me, but it did. And I think that it always had. The song is loud and beautiful and I am so very afraid.
Imagine if hive worms outside their host don't quite have depth perception, but also because they are worms they refuse to take help and are not given any, so until they find their host they just wander the hive tomb ships eating any scraps of food they can find. They would be like tiny, evil Roombas and there would be hundreds of them just crawling around the ships and running into walls in a way that could almost be called endearing.
APPLES ALL THE WAY!
I made altercations to the teeth apple and made another apple but with worms. When I get up in the morning, I'm gonna add more detail to the second apple.
I made a teeth apple because someone else drew teeth and because of the Magnus archives.
Found out my cat has worms, right now going through the cleaning process to make sure there are no more.
I hate bugs with a passion. I want them gone.
Did you know that if a baby ran 35 miles per hour it would outrun a dog?

⚠️Gore/Trypohobia/Worms warning!!⚠️
finished up a Jane Prentiss i had laying around
So I’m 30 episodes into The Magnus Archives so far and while I do miss being able to go to bed without fearing for my life, I’m gonna keep listening.
I have thoughts on one of the creatures we’ve met so far, the worm hive/nest specifically. The source being ‘Plight of the Living Dead’ by Matt Simon, a book I’m currently reading about parasites that zombify their hosts. I’m not an expert on parasites, I just think they’re cool and I wanna share my thoughts.
Unlike the fungus ophiocordyceps, (the zombie ant one), the worms don’t bother trying to be sneaky; they completely decimate their host making their presence obvious to uninfected individuals. Similar to how Massospora cicadina eats away at cicadas’ abdomens until they’re almost completely hollowed out. This unconcern for appearances probably means the worms don’t have a predator/threat to hide from.
Also, I’m wondering if this parasitic behavior of spreading themselves like an infection is part of the worms’ life cycle, like how real life nematodes need to get themselves into different animals’ guts to reproduce. If they are actually worms this could simply mean finding a new host, laying eggs and multiplying their numbers within the body until they’re ready to find another host. Or if they aren’t worms but grubs/larvae instead, that could mean that they have a mature adult form they could metamorphose into. Which would be so awesome and make for an episode with more insect/worm body horror! Anyway, it’s fun to analyze the ecology of fictional monsters.
whats your favorite sea creature
That’s a hard question and depends on the week you ask but currently am obsessed with Shipworms (who live in mangroves and wood in marine environments so close enough to me), which are actually bivalves like clams and oysters and not “worms”…
Also love Conches, cetaceans, frogfish, stingrays, echinoderms in general..
I have gone insane
Have this lmao
Goretober has once again caused me to draw a TMA character! (And it won't be the last!)
