secret public diary

Intelligent alien species based on bugs but specifically those moths that don’t have mouths and only live for a week after they pupate. This species’ whole conscious life is actually in the larval phase; larvae are the ones considered people, larvae are the ones with conscious and complex brains who build society, and each instar of the larva is treated as a different phase of life. Larvae become emotionally and socially and cognitively mature without ever becoming sexually mature. When they pupate, they metamorphose into something different and strange and close to mindless, with no mouth and no digestive system, whose only instincts are to mate and then quickly die. Metamorphosis is treated, functionally, like a person’s death, and the imago phase is a kind of proto-afterlife of majestic flight and the continuation of the species. Birth and death inextricably intertwined. Sex is not something people do during their lives, it’s a thing that is done as an imago after you’ve passed on from your life but before you return to the soil in death. Resultant eggs are collected by family members to raise. I think this would be fun.

if you’re going to kill yourself you should do it at work so you can make it everyone else’s problem

mormonism is so crazy capitalist coded

their philosophy on the afterlife is literally that men are all temporarily embarrassed billionaires gods and if they just keep their heads down and don't ask questions and grind away their whole lives in service to their current boss god earning him money glory they will eventually be rewarded with their very own company planet and passive income glory and employees a family they can abuse forever and ever amen

they call it eternal progression i call it infinite growth

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

"the reason people dont like you is because you dont fit in with societal convention" okay but what if the societal convention is stupid

at least the colour green exists
