Moth appreciation

[Cuddlebug]

wait since when do I know moth language?

Oh no, another one of my super powers detected... Maybe I watched once to much old japanese SciFi as a kid, Mozilla & Co. you know

 

[Nonak]

Oh no, another one of my super powers detected...

We also know about stealing other people's wasted time, summoning rain in the worst places possible and being better at stardewdle than any of the tiny snails I've met, but what else?

Maybe I watched once to much old japanese SciFi as a kid, Mozilla & Co. you know

Oh so that's the way... Noted.

 

[Cuddlebug]

summoning rain in the worst places possible

Help my old memory remember—when did I ever do such a thing

 

[Cuddlebug]

but what else?

Muhahaha, I guess, you urgently want to know... Find out with time

 

[Nonak]

I blame you for the disappearance of the nazca lines

Hmm, very close, but unfortunately the lines had already been washed away by the rain yesterday, so I guess it was just a lucky guess after all

That was not a coincidence.

Muhahaha, I guess, you urgently want to know... Find out with time

I guess it is more interesting this way. Keeping an eye on you and your...abilities.

 

[Cuddlebug]

I blame you for the disappearance of the nazca lines

Oh, that? Those were just tiny little lines...

 

[Nonak]

Oh, that? Those were just tiny little lines...

I think another one of your superpowers is either flight, becoming really tall or jumping I guess? Just how high you need to be for them to seem tiny.

Also, since the last few posts have been way too mothless for a moth thread, here's a pretty cool picture I found

Giant Peacock Moth on Arum by Vincent van Gogh
Here's the Great Peacock Moth itself

Oh, and don't forget about cuddling, my top secret super power no one would ever guess
No, this was just an Obelix Quote from one of the older movies: "Ooops, that was just a tiny little Colosseum..."

It's really beautiful, I love Van Gogh, his art period was part of my high school final exam in arts...

Did Sam give you this superpower, or have you always had it?
Cuddling bu 27 to be exact

Oh, don't think I've ever heard that one.

It is!
Also I don't even have arts in hs. I think they decided it's not important enough.

 

[Cuddlebug]

Oh, don't think I've ever heard that one.

It's from "Asterix - Sieg über Caesar", a short dialogue the two buddies have: Asterix: “You should have seen that. Obelix destroyed the Colosseum all by himself.” - Obelix: “Oh, it was just a tiny little Colosseum.”

Also I don't even have arts in hs. I think they decided it's not important enough.

Unfortunately, art isn't really that important in schools here anymore; these days, you can often drop the course. But I took it all the way through—I always found art history interesting, though practical art wasn't really my thing, but I was able to make up for that. I only had to take the art exam because I couldn't participate in the physical education exam due to an injury, so I had to choose an alternative. And in that case, art was an obvious choice for me.

I don't like moths.

They are currently eating my clothes.
F them.

You're probably right, but most of them don't do so, they just fly around by night and look pretty when nobody sees them.

This is something I won't believe

 

[RennyBenny]

i must confess... i'm very afraid of moths..

i often scream when they fly near me because i think they'll fly into my mouth or dissolve with my touch...

although some of these little guys are quite cute

Believe it or not, that's up to you, I would say But it's only the larvae of clothes moths that do that—just a few species out of a large group.

This is a really good point. For example, I can single out a few apes I'm really not a hugebig fan of, but on the whole I like almost all apes and could easily expand that to monkeys of all kinds. Sure some are ill-tempered, but then I'm ill-tempered from time to time too! You should see me launch luggage into far-flung corners when I get into one of them moods. I'm not gonna toss out all those awesome primates just because a few ruin it for the rest of us.

Yeah, it's like everywhere, some misbehave and cause trouble for the big rest

To be fair, some certain specific things are practically asking to be launched from time to time.

I often remember the time this chad almost fell into my tea.

It reminds me of the golden snitch from Harry Potter!
