reexamining “would you still love me if i was a worm?”

would i still love you if you were helpless, couldn’t do things for me ever, and didn’t fit the stereotypical beauty standard for the rest of your life?

would i still love you if you felt small and were scared, and that never changed?

would i still love you if you always needed help, so much help, to do everything?

would i still love you if you couldn’t help me like you wanted to, if you could never carry me like i carry you?

would i still love you if you needed help, always and forever, with what others consider the simplest of tasks?

would i still love you if you didn’t look how people say you should, and if you didn’t look how you wanted to?

would i still love you if you weren’t perfect?

what about if you were a worm? worms can’t move much, or far, not without help. worms do not fit into beauty catalogues. worms cannot help with tasks that would hurt them, as they are to small, and easily crushed.

yes.

i would still love you.

i am not saying you are a worm, my love, but i am saying i love you. even when you aren’t perfect. when you struggle, when you need help, when you’re upset with yourself. when you feel small. yes, i do still love you when you are helpless. i won’t stop. you can’t make me.

i know you’d love me if i was a worm to.

Love it when video games are just

Surprised I didn't see a version like this yet lol

something something they have to reach something way high up trope

when boy bands sing a love song addressed to the listener does that imply all 5-10 of them are in love with you at once. that seems like a lot of pressure i don't know if i want to be the nucleus of the boyband polycule.

Meet Cylindrocopturus quercus, a truly goofy little weevil and a pleasure to have in class!

Banana for scale.

Midweek moment of zest🍋〰️⁠

The lemon jelly, Aegina citrea, is different from many other jellyfish because it has only four tentacles extending from its bell. Although jellies in the genus Aegina are relatively well known, they often surprise scientists by evolving unusual forms or colors in deep water.⁠ ⁠ A surprisingly large proportion of these gelatinous marine animals have yet to be named and classified because they disintegrate when collected by traditional sampling tools like trawl nets. MBARI's remotely operated vehicles allow us to make video observations that provide essential information about the animal's behavior, where it lives, and what it eats. This little jellyfish has been frequently observed eating much larger comb jellies. ⁠

The beast looks in horror as it sees the weight of its sins

some personal hcs for the hometown gang :]

Vespa: "..Do you listen to me still, pale child?"

Vespa: "...Herrah's hard headed nature... Feral and stubborn— you both feign the same distracted beast within you. Wyrm as you are."

Vespa: "These lessons for her feral manners are proving to be ineffective, resistant little thing."

Vespa: (sigh) "I shall teach you the way of the stinger, Pale child."

Vespa: "On the very condition you take my etiquette lectures seriously. And Stop Biting Your Fellow Bugs."
