probably not as serious as it sounds but i broke my foot toward the start of last month; just had a follow up appointment for new xrays to assess how it was healing. cuz if it wasnt healing right, i was gonna need surgery and that's scary but i dont, so... relief

i dont need surgery

Man, I'm so out of the loop anymore when it comes to announcements for music releases. Just found out one of my favorite bands of all time is releasing a new album on my birthday. So I know what I'll be doing...

Took an incredible photograph today of a juvenile male mayfly and his seven eyes. Male mayflies got eyes on their eyes

I think I might have gotten my redemption arc following me saying last night how my pictures this year sucked compared to last year. I spent the past hour watching ants prepare for their nuptial flight and there were SO many of them, all of them photogenic. This is hecking amazing. The amount...

Anno Mutationem is getting a Switch physical! And it does have the soundtrack! eeeee

Oh, I see. I never made full silhouettes, I usually did them in sections cuz I only really used this when I do lineless art, so it's hard to say the final shape of the overall silhouette by the time I'm done.

Krita has that I'm pretty sure. I used clipping layers a lot in SAI, and Krita has something similar called preserve alpha on a layer setting which actually is better than a clipping layer cuz it's all on the same layer instead of coloring on a separate layer. Make your silhouette, then...

Talked some philosophy type stuff with my bestie. The conversation actually kind of started in a rather dark place but it turned into something rather spiritual and powerful. Got a lot of thoughts swirling as residue from that. It's oddly comforting and reassuring that some of the ideas I'm...

It does appear to be fully grown; subadults don't have full wings, just "wing-buds" in their later instars (which is probably why its a bad indicator for younger mantises) but adult wing size could probably vary a bit with genetics too. But yeah, it definitely has more of the bulk I would...

It "looks" female to me by the overall shape, but I could be wrong. Males also have ridiculously long antennae. If you took any good pics of its abdomen, you could confirm its sex by counting its abdominal segments. Females have 6, while males have 8. Very beautiful mantis friend regardless...

Talking with a friend about Rune Factory. He's always my go to person to chat with about the series cuz we sort of had a similar introduction to the series before it really blew up in popularity so he pretty much shares my sentiment about what made the series special. These conversations...

pizzaaaa for dinner ...i havent eaten anything today but bread, i am STARVING

hope it was a good birthday!

I SAW A FIREFLY ♥

Just got back from my walk... It's officially dragonfly season!

i dont see them incredibly often but i saw a red winged blackbird the other day when i was at the pond and if i had the right lens on my camera while i was on my walk, i would have totally snapped a pic. i like them, cuz they're really striking with the sudden red contrast to the rest of their...

friend art is legit the best. thats awesome of them to draw that for you!

hating jelly beans would not make me very happy

I have jelly beans

Just received the email that my Bug Fables collectors edition has shipped, at long last.

I don't check Twitter very much, but I got on today to see if I got a reply to a question I made yesterday (I didn't), but my feed is covered in trees today and it was a great comfort after crying over my stupid tree-murdering neighbors yesterday. So many trees.

****posting about bug genetics with my best friend

My sister got me a hammerhead shark Christmas ornament. :)

One of my favorite entomologists has another book in the works, and he used the phase "insect lore" to describe it. :eyes: So excite.

Finished building a jigsaw puzzle with my sister tonight. Many memes were born.

I held a mantis today.

There's a centipede on the wall.

Garden spiders.

My sis liked the CD I burned her. :)

Great friends. ♥

Letting bugs in my house back outside and giving them a second chance to do bug things.

My mom got me the dvd set of Ergo Proxy for my birthday like I asked, and I watched the whole first disc tonight. It's been 8 years since I first watched it and I'm really excited and happy to get to see it again--especially cuz streaming sites suck now. I'm in a way different place than I was...

Baby centipede chilling on the ceiling. Hope he sticks around to wish me a happy birthday in a few hours. :eyes:

My dad texted me a pic of a house centipede that was over by my computers. I'm at mom's rn so he documents my houseguests for me.

:eyes::eyes::eyes:

My purple violet is getting buds! And my white violet is currently in bloom. It's been so long since I've had multiple violets flower at the same time. :eyes:

Bug Fables' physical release is finally officially announced, and my favorite character is on the cover. But... the headline is: my favorite video game soundtrack is getting a physical cd

My photography instructor told me I have a really good eye for composition. I've been feeling kinda down about my work lately, and that really makes me feel validated right now.

Today was pretty wonderful. Made some chaotic gifs, created a dedicated color palette for my favorite video game character for the incoming onslaught of art of him I plan to do, met a queen yellow jacket, saw a double rainbow, got philosophical about video games. My violet's first flower of...

A friend drew me one of my favorite characters (I might have nagged him to), and one of my favorite bands released new album. 2021, keep it up.

XSEED just confirmed Rune Factory 5 to have a 2021 release for the west.

I put eggnog in my coffee. :)

Garlic bread

Carrion was an amazing game. Had lots of laughs and existential crises while playing. Glad I'm downstairs in the basement being a spaghetti instead of upstairs where there'd be political tension. Keep calm and Carrion. <3

A friend is replaying Hollow Knight and we're reflecting on wholesome memes such as SHAW and GROSA.

Wholesome livestream from one of my favorite bands. They're such inspiring and genuine people.

Got to spend an hour with my wasp friends this evening. <3

My new camera lens came today, and I got amazing pictures of bugs with it. And now, my uncle just texted me a pic he took of a praying mantis that visited him tonight. I am in such a great mood. To answer the thread title though, bugs. Bugs made me happy today.
