/bzzt/ - Bugs & Insects GeneralPicnic with Panda Ant EditionPost bugs and arthropods of all varieties.Previous thread:https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/82858705Stories/Media/Artists:https://rentry.org/bugsandinsects
>>83137040Thread Question: Do you think bugs would have any special dishes involving stuff from their irl counterparts' diet, like nectar or aphid honeydew?
>>83137097It would all be food that's way too sugary
>>83138124I'm sure there would be some bug with at least some variety of tastes to their dishes
Rather slow start to this thread
Drew a Galvantula anthro because Galvantula is cute. It only actually having four legs is messed up though.
>>83145578Will always love the electric spider, such a cute thing
>>83145195/bzzt/ is forgotten
>>83146325Just goes through periods of being faster and slower
>>83146325I haven't forgotten!
>>83137097Bugs always have a wide disparities between each other that includes diets, so I would believe that they would have 'species cultural' dishes should they become sophon, as well as they would be open to try out each other dishes. Of course, how do you do this for bugs that eats other bugs like mantises. Would you go the safe route and have bug livestock like Aphids, would there also be a 'forbidden secret menu' with those type of bugs. And how about the smell of the dishes from something like flies, as they don't have the sense of smell that can smell things like shit and rotting meat? Or foods that involve things like mint or caffeine that naturally repels certain insects?But I would agreed with the anon that sweet, high energy meals like nectar would be widespread, bugs love their sweets.
>>83150967Have to consider what other animals exist. If all other animals still exist then they maybe just substitute that into their diet, though maybe there is still a set of non-intelligent bugs like aphids to serve the needs of any bug civilization, albeit there may be some underground elements seeking other intelligent arthropods meat in either case. As for smell, I have to imagine most would understand the unconventional diets of some bugs and just try to avoid the establishments carrying dishes offensive to the olfactory system, though obviously there would be some friction in dealing with that food being brought elsewhere, but it's not like rotten/bad-smelling food is a wholly new concept. Dealing with repellants might just mean seeking reasonable substitutes if not outright skipping the ingredients adding those to a meal, enough recipes out there to just completely avoid making the sort of dishes that include those anyways.
>>83152109>Have to consider what other animals exist. I'll be honest I didn't consider non-bug animals when writing that post kek. I think it would be fair to assume they would keep non-bug livestock for some meat/egg variation or for stuff like wool as some bugs do eat that.>but it's not like rotten/bad-smelling food is a wholly new concept.Also didn't consider that too.But yeah, I can see you have a good idea on how the whole thing would play out. It honestly wouldn't be too far to how we have it with food from different cultures, outside of the whole repellents thing.
>>83152992That's a rather big abdomen
>>83153289My greatest shame is wanting to fondle that
>>83153333There's no shame in wanting to fondle bug abdomen
>>83153347It is very captivating
>>83153347It's the natural state of things.
>>83153784It most certainly is

>>83163767these bee communication dances are getting rather complicated
aphid farmer bug
>>83168784>"I've never done it with a mammal before!">Shows (You) exactly how
>>83176653>Shows (You) exactly howI mean, there wouldn't be much to it beyond "insert into hole", would there?
>>83176653Bugs have the world wide web that they can use to find some information on this
>>83180319There are bugs looking at mammal porn
>>83180319If only the other way around was true
>>83180356And writing stories of a lost worker bee meeting a 'soft one', where they are soft before they are hard and are as warm as a flat stone on a summer day.
>>83181261Trying to explain a human to bug would be funny.
>>83183471Wonder what would be the hardest thing to explain, maybe the absence of an exoskeleton and everything involved with that, or possibly the contained circulatory system
>>83180356Wonder what the market for interspecies stuff would be like
I present to you all, a hebee
>>83190739Sorta suprised there isn't more art of the trio as bug rangers out there, have a teenage bee with attitude right there
>>83189748>>83191990>>83193137>Monsieur ScarletI bet he is second to none when it comes to sucking. He'll drain you till you are nothing but a hunk.
>>83196753100%
>>83196951
>>83198155
>>83196951>>83198155>>83198271Goddamn. I wish I was his partner in crime, the things I would do for him and allow him to do to me. His boss fight was pretty challenging in hard mode too.
>>83199002If only he wasn't a serial killer/already married, would say the same. Not sure how a bunch of people seemed to have problems with his boss fight, was rather easy to me, maybe just got lucky
>>83199095
>>83199100
>>83199077Maybe it's just the timing, you can face him as soon as chapter 3. Or maybe it's also because I'm also playing with the Hard Hits medal so he was doing much more damage and was recovering. I mean I know it's does nothing on boss fights but I'm just a glutton for punishment (like doing that with the Heavy Drone B-33 fight)Also I might have missed the dialogue that stated he was married (lucky guy/gal), but for the serial killer part, maybe I can fix him (or he makes me worse)
>>83199647Hard hits would definitely bump the difficulty up a bit, yeah. I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the game he's married, just something I saw on the wiki, backer who created him probably added the fact he has a husband, so both the only male ant in the game and the only canon gay bug
The resident artist has completed my newest comm. And it's funny how Scarlet just recently pop up on this thread as he's in this one kek. Looks like he managed to lure in Fry the cook, likely one of the few bugs he wouldn't be able to suck dry due to his size.
>>83200886And Scarlet is defeated. Better turn in for the rewards.Here's the catbox if you wish to have the proper sizes of these two imageshttps://files.catbox.moe/4zg99y.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/js75ka.png
>>83200886Well damn, what perfect timing, very nice comm right there, not much art of Scarlet out there and even less of Fry
>>83152992>>83153289Thread needs more huge abdomens.
mothman
>>83202373big bug abdomen
>>83210610Rather large forearms on that bug
>>83203512
>>83201216That I agree with.Which is why I got myself a new comm done of Scarlet by our resident artist.This time it's a purely scientific endeavour with Neo on Scarlet's vampirism. For science, of course.
>>83217885And the climax of the research so to speak.As usual, the catbox for the non-resizeshttps://files.catbox.moe/u99e5k.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/1b4zq7.png
>>83217885Another nice comm and so quickly after the other one, interesting to see neo interacting with someone other than kabbu
>>83217966Yeah I just wanted a moth character to fuck him and the artist told me that Leif (my first choice) would spoil something particular with the character so I went with a different moth in the end.
>>83218549Nice of him to prevent that spoiler, would be disappointing to learn it early, though that unfortunately means you know of wasp king before you should
>>83218746That is a shame but if it wasn't for those pics, I'll likely have put off the game for a while longer so there's that I suppose.
Anyone else into nice sharp stingers?
>>83220063Stingers are a bit scary
>>83222889
>>83220063that's a dangerous game
