hi! about your blog, I remember there being a page once on the codex maybe that had a collection of your favorite medias and movies. I liked going back to it sometimes when I needed a new movie or thing to try so I wondered if it would ever be coming back or if you could share some of them again ): it was that very list that introduced me to possessor and I've shown that movie to everyone I could convince to watch since, it's wonderful and I love stuff like it
I actually randomly bought a birthday cake pie and birthday cake icecream on the 2nd because I had a craving for it, before finding out it was your bug day. but i'll share it with my bugs
truly fitting that you were hatched in October, the author who haunts my mind and so many others.
No way we have the same hatch day !! I love your stories so this feels like a huge honor
Thank you for putting your secretions in them
hii i wanted to say two things today, 1. i had read serious weakness in bouts of energy whenever i could bc of severe focusing problems and such, consuming each chapter in many different time periods. so i really appreciate how the amount of time that passes in-story is ambiguous and could be over the course of days, weeks, or months… i think that adds to the nebulousness of the whole ordeal, it’s murky, just events of notable trauma and healing in a sea of shit. chunks of meat in a bowl of vomit. like how memory works, it’s all muddy but you can remember this Thing That Happened to You. and that’s all that matters.
2. have you read The Troop by Nick Cutter? it’s abt boy scouts and bugs and worms wearing people and has a lot of intense body horror and boys being boys that i feel like you would appreciate, and reminds me of your work
fav icecream flavor?
hey if we wanted to write fanfiction for you is that allowed or is that something you would prefer not to see in case it gets your characters or worldbuilding wrong. i have a story in mind abt perfect tense but id rather ask permission to display it than just drop it on you
if i have an offering for the cancer shrine, where can i send it?
I've gotten into your work thanks to my boyfriend recommending Serious Weakness to me and I wanted to thank you for a lot of things but one thing I haven't seen people mention before is the way you talk about oral health problems... I really appreciate you writing characters like Insul and Cancer and Deadboy who don't have perfect teeth and/or don't brush their teeth every day and the realities/physical discomfort of that, without it being seen as a huge moral failing or something to be repulsed by, more that it's just something that some people deal with for any number of reasons. You've given me a lot of awakenings and a lot of hope in the time that I've read your work, but I think this might be one of the most healing things for me to see on a personal level. Thank you I love bugs!!!!
i am so, so down bad for people with fucked up teeth. bitches with overbites are the sexiest thing in the world. i don't care if their teeth are on the fucking floor. i date people with baby teeth embedded in their jaw like a cannibalized twin. i date people with teeth adapted for eating small mice. i went years without access to dental care and have scars in my cheeks from chewing them like an insane lab animal chained up rotting in its own filth. i spent like 5 years like that where i have little memory of anything outside spending 24 hours a day in agony. that’s not really related. i love big teeth bitches in every lifetime. little teeth all teeth no teeth. i don’t care if they have a mouth at all. if you have a soul you have teeth. so yeah i figure out a different way to do it with each story. rubicon is def the most toothmaxed (realistic) and the low kill shelter boys are the most toothmaxed (fantastical) but I love Cancer’s fucked up congenital teeth and the new leash story is fun because of how much drilling and humiliating orthodontic gear was required to make them seem not fucked up but they’re still fucked up…
i’m glad it’s healing!! thanks for noticing something important to me and thanks for enjoying my HD Teeth Skyrim Fetish Mod technology. there is something beautiful and pathetic about the grandeur of the soul forced to express itself through such a fragile instrument, and the vulnerability it brings to a character...the mouth is the face of the face.
love bugs!!! <333 🦷🦷🦷
is there anything akin to an angel in xrafstarworld or have i fundamentally misunderstood their hierarchy. i am thinking of the mentions of angels all throughout 18ft leash but never any sign of a being that actually is one. only xrafstar. and daevas i guess, counting perfect tense. it makes one wonder if the idea of a pure being in contrast to corrupt and worldly xrafstar is an INNOCENTic fiction or something that actually exists
like xrafstar, angels need a human to possess. that is the rule of the universe: no 'monsters', only humans. I'm sure the rule has violations, or “thing that was human but no longer recognizable as such”, but generally things must swim through flesh, must choose or be tricked, must be “in play.” I also doubt the existence of angels as a separate entity which is merged into a human. angels have no souls. it is more of an infection, an “angel flora”. what is the difference between Manichaean light particles and bacteria?
in keeping with the Iranian influence, angels have peacock feathers. interestingly, Ahriman created the peacock as a flex to show he could make beautiful things, he just chose not to. which makes it a beguiling and ambiguous symbol. and of course peacocks are a very alien being which does not correspond to any known animal. angels are the only being which has “feathers”, which are a type of crystalline hair?
people who become angels grow allergic to sin and their genitals begin to disappear. this can be very distressing.
the difference between “angel” and “fairy” and “xrafstar (whether fly, bee, wasp, etc)” can be distorted by history, folklore, etc.
were the flies angels? did they torture, kill, and replace them? or both?
i may be stupid bc i lowkey forgot quince was there
will there ever be yellow and purple wires in CTE or are the four threads we're following enough character roster wise
whats ur inspiration for your logo?
sometimes i think about vesp... a sweet premonition of the xrafstars to come
been using imagery including the innocent hazard symbols for tattoo practice, and i really want to tattoo some of them on myself! is this allowed...
do whatever makes you happy <3 I am not a being of permanence and have little to say in that area. be advised, however, that I plan on committing a sex crime in the year 200X, when I molest my past self in vengeance for the events of the Finality Rotation (Crystallification). do with that morally ambiguous information what you may...
