as promised, the owlfly (family Ascalaphidae) I found in Singapore!
if you’re familiar with antlions, these work similarly, except instead of building a pit they rely on camouflage to hide from predators and ambush prey. a beautiful combination of lichen-y fringes and wickedly sharp mandibles.
it blended in perfectly with the mossy rope railing, even tucking back its mandibles at a 270° angle so that they lay hidden beneath the head.
it was one of several successful “oh-wait-was-that-a-bug-let’s-go-back-and-check” moments I had, and was glad I doubled back to see it for what it was! my first owlfly, now I’ve got to find an adult, which are dragonfly-like aerial predators

send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.
I have the same reaction to cockroaches that most people have towards cats. like when I see one I have to go up to it and say hi and tell it it’s cute and maybe try to pick it up. and most of the time it runs away from me but that’s okay because I got to see a cockroach :)
in Tropical Location rn and these big girls are every few feet along the path but no matter how many I see I have to go and blow each one a kiss. fabulous

What's your favorite kind bug?
This one looks pretty friendly
₍ 🎞 ₎ the great (2020 – 2023) rp starters ! featuring violence, explicit language & mature themes . some lines have been slightly adjusted for rp purposes .
if the crown fits ... take it.
i promised myself a great love. that didn’t work out.
you fired something in me, and when i look at you now, i must have you again.
i have carried a romantic idea of people all my life.
it was an act of love, not an act of betrayal.
i saw a great love as a kind of perfect love. maybe it's not.
you're delusional about people, about the world.
that is your great gift. but it's a curse as well.
we cannot change without cost, even if it is our own.
you are always seeking for me to look at reality. well, i am, and it's horrifying.
it is a flaw for a leader to want love so much.
you don't believe in me. i've spent my life trying to get you to.. and you just don't.
the worst thing in life is to come up against your own limitations and stumble.
i can't stop loving you when you talk, it rushes me.
no morality, no philosophy, just win.
i think you have a large appetite that is not constrained by morality.
you are complicating me.
a great love, like a great country or a great leader even ... is a flawed one.
not as fun as me. because i am known for being fun.
it's .. close to enough.
you do this, and you can't come back. i mean it.
there are many versions of you, and you know i'm the only one who sees them all.
i never thought being doomed would feel so pleasant.
i am fucked. i have decided to embrace it.
sometimes you just take the next step and the path appears.
i look at you ... and my heart breaks. for your pain. for your sorrows.
i will not live a powerless life.
i do not wish to avoid bloodshed. what part of that plan do you not understand?
sometimes i'm so clever, i have to take a breath not to become dizzy.
i think i was angry because no one has ever not liked me.
there is no other way. i am a prisoner here.
you think me more naive than i am.
we are always not quite as good as we wish.
i don't want to kill you. you're not a bad person.
i could kill you. you are a bad person.
you're so sweet sometimes, i could just kiss you on the nose.
people underestimate the joy in suffering.
it wasn't destiny that did it. i did it.
i'm not scared, and i'm not holding your hand.
you're lying, which is both out of character and really annoying.
i am as good as dead here. that's why i have nothing to lose.
i will not be at your, or anyone's whim.
i wondered what had happened to you! well, wondered might be too strong.
