Tent Caterpillars Throw EPIC Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties

Grab your ugly Christmas sweaters boys and girls, because these Forest Tent Caterpillars (Malacosoma disstria) have just invited you to one heck of a party. At only 2 inches in length, these cute, fuzzy little fellows look like they would be so much fun to hang with, especially since they’re all decked out in the season’s best – PENGUIN SWEATERS!

That’s right. Behold. Forest tent caterpillars are literally cloaked in ugly christmas sweaters that feature dancing penguins. I tell no lies.

But, just as any Christmas party guest… they’re fun to have over for a while… but eventually, you’re like k, you need to go home now. Especially when your invited guest decided to hatch along with their 200+ siblings. You see, tent caterpillars don’t exactly build tents, but rather, weave silky sheets where they lie together during molting.The caterpillars are incredibly social, doing everything as a team. In fact, they’re nomadic and forage as a group which means that if one caterpillar is hungry, all of them set out on a quest to fill the lil guy’s tum tum with leaves of yum yum (I don’t know).

Here’s the problem, though: these guys have voracious appetites and will literally eat every single leaf off of a tree. Typically trees can recover if the infestation is not recurring… but if it is… man, oh man can they wreak havoc!

please imagine me sitting down at a cafeteria table across from you. i slide a plain vanilla envelope under your food tray. you start to open it - your eyes bulge fractionally at the bundle of hastily scribbled drawings of aliens kissing.

"wha - what’s this?" you ask. but i am already sprinting away at break-neck speed across the compound towards the tunnel i have been digging for three months using only my hands.

Final Fantasy IV (1991)
↳ “And so, the dark knight Cecil was stripped of his command as the captain of the Red Wings. He and the master dragoon Kain head toward the dark valley for the village of Mist. The advent of the airship marked the realization of Baron’s dreams, but also the birth of its militarism. With its Royal Air Force Red Wings, Baron soon reigned supreme. Now, as monsters multiply and stir unrest, Baron only exploits its power to collect the world’s Crystals. Why? The Crystals silently shed their light…”

About half of The Crimson Shadow is Garak writing letters to Julian and not sending them.

[maketreknotwar]

and about half of the time that I wanted to throw my kindle while reading this was because Garak wasn’t sending/deleting messages he wrote for Bashir

• #the crimson shadow
• #UGH
• #ok so I have this horrible theory/headcanon/whatever
• #that I hate as a G/B person
• #but it makes SENSE and it's horrible
• #but I feel like The Crimson Shadow has a subplot of Garak kind of getting over Bashir in a way
• #(WHICH FREAKING SUCKS)
• #BUT
• #so the letters he writes to julian during these change as the story progresses- particularly in the way that he refers to Julian
• #we start with 'my dear doctor' to 'my dear julian' to 'julian' to then no dear anyone at all
• #(which is more similar to the messages that Parmak sends him)
• #and somewhere inbetween the 'julian' to no name at all Garak just stops sending the messages
• #and then he even starts deleting them so he doesn't even have record of them
• #so it's like his letters are getting more intimate when he needs comfort or whatever and then julian proceeds to just nOT REPLY EVER
• #and THEN
• #after all the shit goes down he says he needs HIS doctor
• #Doctor Kelas Parmak
• #the one who HAS been there for him this entire time
• #with kisses and hand holding and literary debate and kanar and kotra before bed
• #his conscious
• #and the last letter to bashir starts like they did in the beginning of the book
• #with 'my dear doctor'
• #just like how he refered to him back during his exile on ds9
• #we see garak say that he loves parmak
• #and THEN julian replies
• #anD GOD I HATE THIS BOOK
• #BUT I LOVE THIS BOOK
• #DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH OF A GARAKBASHIR PERSON I AM
• #DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
• #BUT I'M ALSO WAY PRO-GARAK BEING HAPPY
