I Want To Talk About Technology And Infrastructure In Hallownest And Bugaria

I want to talk about Technology and Infrastructure in Hallownest and Bugaria

Like the tech in Bug fables can be pretty mind blowing. They have Holograms and scifi stuff that they reversed engineered from the Roach Civilization. The bee factory in Bugaria looks pretty advanced and Termite Kingdom looks pretty futuristic. They also had clothes and toys possibly made of cotton (or plant matter) and silk from the Aphids.

But the thing is, when in the Hive, Vi and Kabbu have a dialouge about how glasses are a new thing and when I looks around, a lot of the infrastructure are repurposed human products (the cardboard houses, the submarine, the freaking tank). Metal products doesn't seem to be super widespread.

But Hallownest? Sure it doesn't have holograms or the super scifi stuff, but I personally think in terms of infrastructure, Hallownest despite being in statis and possibly several centuries old and thus behind Bugaria, is so far ahead in terms of infrastructure. They had glasswork and metal work a long time ago. They had a whole city made from metal and glass (The City of Tears). They had gigantic mining machines running on much more powerful Crystal power (refer to my previous post about Magic Crystals). They had plentiful Nails and enough metal to equip guards with armor and the city with working elevators and the Trams. Not to mention the Stagway stations and the silk from Deepnest (considering how high quality Hornet's cloak seem to be). Magic studies (given the magic on Quirrel's mask and the various Seal of Bindings and the various Charms) seem to be much farther ahead as well in Hallownest.

Certainly, in terms of food, wealth and happiness Hallownest seems to have fallen behind a LOT (considering warring gods and the infection and basically everything in PLOT). But if you think about it, Hallownest in its prime had established a lot of stuff that only now Bugaria is achieving.

I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?

FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!

I could've sworn I posted Glaze's final design here, either I misremembered, or Tumblr thanosed the post :Y

Annnnyways!

An Ex Guard from beyond Bugaria, she's incredibly skilled in combat, even keeled and stoic. Glaze enjoys fighting but is deeply protective of those she's close to or takes kindly to! So enticed by the thrill she is that if left unattended, she will absolutely sneak away to dangerous situations! Such a soft smile, but if she still wields her old battle axe, why is she away from her home...?

𑁍 Trivia 𑁍

- Glaze was a guard bee and actually still has her old visor hidden away, though. It's severely damaged, having evidently been crushed at some point!

- Glaze has a slight handicap due to an old injury on her right leg, where she had an unfortunate run-in with a bandit early into her days as a wanderer. On a bad day, she is unable to run and walks very slowly while slightly dragging her leg, forcing her to use her battle axe as a sort of walking cane. Sometimes, the wound reopens when Glaze is too hard on herself.

- She's loosely based off of an Asian Honey Bee (the one that swarm muder hornets to cook them to death)!

- The large scar on Glaze's right arm was from a rough fall. There are a few more scars hidden under her chest fluff, all from various skirmishes!

- Glaze likes playing with makeup. Red is her favorite color!

- Her left antenna was chewed on at some point.

- Aside from the handicap, Glaze is still physically strong. A left hook from her is quite painful! She can't kick very well, though the pressure on her bad leg will throw her off slightly.
