=( Alright. Here's your next scheduled "Atlans Appearance." Although it seems my selfies have proven to be quite popular, I do hope that something more "professional" is still pleasing enough to my audience. https://files.catbox.moe/ojls20.jpg )
(• - •) Your lusus is a little intimidating looking but somehow... cute? I like your bug facts. Thank you for sharing them with us. ⚘
=( Thank you. I will pass your... warm? Regards forward to Snuffles. I will have another bug fact prepared for your hungry mind shortly. )
who up dogmaxxing?? no one dogmaxxes the way i do ;D
=( I prefer bugmaxxing. )
=( Good morning, Chittr. After a long and busy night I've returned to you. Did you miss me, my fellow #bugs fans? )
/╲/ ( WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!! OF DYNASTIDS!!!!!!!!!! ) /╱\
=( Why, Kajika, I'm so glad you asked. The Dynastinae family - or to the layman, the Rhinoceros Beetle, are my favorite species of beetle. Perhaps my favorite species of insect all together. If you'll bare with me enough to hear an Atlans fact, the first bug I ever had the pleasure of caring for belonged to this species; back when I was but a wriggler myself. My lusus coincidentally happens to share certain visual similarities to the class as well. )
=( Okay. Whatever. )
What are Twinks and Bears?
=( I've been wondering the answer to this as well, on account of being called the former on occasion. It's often said with jest; so I suspect it must be something untoward. )
im fUckIn bOooooorEd. whErE ArE my gal pals. my gOgglE gIrliEs. or lIkE AnyonE ElsE cOOl i gUEss.
=( Do I count? )
=( I wanted to provide you all with another one of my well received "Atlans Appearances", however, the requested "professional photograph" that was asked of me will not be ready tonight on account of my appointment at the local JC Pennys not being until tomorrow. Instead I offer you this; a wriggler photo of my lusii's species that I've just come across. He hasn't been present for weeks now, but once he returns I promise to take an image of his adult appearance for you all to see. Isn't this cute? https://files.catbox.moe/azsvfv.jpg )
is it rude if i say that your lusus looks delicious in this picture? context: we're called frogs for a reason
=( Considering how much of the Alternian diet consists of grub matter, I can't fullheartedly disagree with you. )
=( @archaicCryptid I'm not sure what compels you to come on this platform and tell lies. The people on this forum depend on us for their education on all things #bugs. There are several species of snails that engage in regular cannibalistic tendencies, both on the dead and alive. An example would be the Euglandina rosea, colloquially known as the "cannibal" snail. This species is a fast and voracious predator, hunting and eating other snails and slugs. This has been TRUE insect facts with Atlans. )
Excuse my ignorance but, are snails considered insects? I'm asking from a completely genuine and curious point of view, I'm not trying to be snarky or anything of the sort.
=( If we were to get technical, as per what @mercurialGorepriest said, they are mollusks. However; they are frequently collected and raised by other bug enthusiasts such as myself and I tend to stick to the wrigglerish habbit of lumping it together with them. I suppose, this one time, this was a mollusk fact with Atlans. )
(•́⍜•̀)🎪 CAN WE HAVE MORE REGULAR MOLLUSK FACTS
I'm experiencing cute aggression right now. You are just too precious, Atlans.
=( I am less informed about mollusks. My integrity wills me to stick to what I know - beautiful, beautiful bugs. )
=( :) )
B) so have you ever wondered if trolls can have autism?
=( I believe the more pertinent question here is if it's possible for a troll to NOT have autism. )
=( Hello, Chittr. I apologize for my lack of presence this evening, I was preoccupied the entire night. Have we all been having a pleasant evening? )
=( I have no idea what this means. )
It's been significantly bumped into the better now that you're around, hopefully ready to provide bug facts.
=( It touches my heart to know my bountiful bug knowledge has been having a positive effect on the users of this forum. Just for you, my dearest Lalonde, I shall prepare one of my long awaited installments. )
=( Good evening, Chittr. I have a busy night of indexing a new influx of beetle carapaces for an upcoming display I'm planning to hang in my entranceway. Entertain me while I sip this evenings tea; is there anything interesting happening in your lives? )
READ ALL ABOUT IT — [ atlans. bug boy. please release a new bug fact or something i just endured 20 minutes of the worst shit ever. ]
=( You don't even answer my question and immediately come to me, demanding my services? A simple "hello" this early in the evening would do you wonders. Regardless, I will provide to you another installment momentarily. )
White chocolate is superior.
=( Wrong. )
=( I have received my first bug facts request. A loyal follower of mine, @calibratedCalculation , wanted me to lend my knowledge on cockroaches. A tragically misunderstood and unjustifiably hated sect of species indeed; I hold a great deal of empathy for them as a troll also often disliked for no discernible purpose. Cockroaches actually produce antiamoebic as well as antibacterial molecules on their skin, essentially making them extremely clean and resistant to nearly every disease. Common Alternian cockroaches can only carry bacteria about 8 feet on their body before these microbial molecules destroy the bacteria, just like hand sanitizer. If you get sick from a cockroach running amongst your hives, this is far more likely to be because of it tracking around bacteria already native to your living space. This has been the longest bug fact with Atlans yet. )
Altans, would you mind using a hashtag that I and the rest of your fans could follow? That way our beloved bug facts won't be drowned in the ceaseless cascade of chitts and we'll receive them straight in our feeds.
=( Of course. I will start the #bugs hashtag here for the good of my followers. )
=( The people demand my facts, so magnificent moth facts I shall provide. Did you know that there are more ways to tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly than just what side of the daynight cycle they fall on? The actual best way to tell the difference betwixt the two is by the antennae. Most butterflies have club-shaped antennae with a little ball at the end, whilst moths' are usually feathery, saw-shaped or taper to a fine point.This has been insect facts with Atlans. )
Yessssss. Bug facts to cleanse the debauchery. Many thanks, sincerely. I want Insect Facts with Altans to become a daily thing.
=( Insect facts with Atlans shall continue for as long as there are facts about bugs. Which will be forever! )
=( Are the spheres gone? Are the people of chittr in a mindset that leaves them ready for more facts about #bugs? )
<)-> bug f4cts 4re gre4t im e4gerly 4nticip4ting one for the cockro4ches
=( This is a good suggestion. I will be sure to make my next installment about this fantastic and underappreciated set of species. )
=( I log in to see if the lag has decreased and now women are baring their naked chests. Great. I suppose I shall put the palmhusk down a little longer. )
=( I prefer trolls of a more masculine persuasion, is all. I believe this trait is what has the bullies and naysayers calling me "gay." )
=( I don't have a particular fondness for clowns. But as someone who, relatively, isn't blind, I see the appeal. )
