Fun Facts about Parasitic Worms

Did you know that there are parasitic worms that get into your blood or lymph vessels and stay there? Imagine looking down at the veins in your hand and noticing that one of them is moving. It's shifting and squirming. Oh god, there's something inside there. Get it out, get it out! But you can't. There's no way to do it without cutting open your vessels, and you really don't want to do that. So you need to wait. Wait until the antiparasitic works, and pray that it does.

There are also worms that pierce through your skin and make their way to your lungs and when you cough them up, see the writing mass of worms crawling all over your hands, they use it as a way to go back down the other way & get into your digestive system to breed. You may very well have had these worms at some point too, they're apparently pretty common.

-- Fun facts from a vet student

Imagine you are lost, flying through a black night in a vast world, blown by fierce winds and hunted by strange creatures. Wild and disorientated, you stumble into a cave, and seek sanctuary there. It is a dark, wet place, but you only have to survive until daylight. 

And then you look up, and see the stars. And you think that you are saved….

Let me tell you about

Glowworms

Glowworms are essentially a magical fantasy creature that wandered into our world by mistake. They are unlikely and unreasonable, and I am extremely fond of them for the following reasons.

They imitate the night sky…

Glowworms, which live only in caves and riverbanks in New Zealand, are the larvae of a species of gnat. As the name suggests, they are indeed wormlike while in larval form. 

They live in large colonies, clinging to cave ceilings, and oh how they glow. They glow so brightly, in fact, that at first glance it’s easy to miss all those oh-so-fine silk strands. 

Millions and millions of yards of silk, wet and sticky, dangling overhead. The fact that all this knotless netting is hidden in the dim light is no accident. It’s there for a purpose.

…in order to hunt.

Glowworms are enthralling to watch, but at the end of the day they are larvae. And larvae only really have one job in life: to EAT. Unlike fireflies (which are an unrelated type of beetle) glowworms use bioluminescence not for mating but for hunting. In this way, they are more like angler fish. The light is their bait–the silk is their lure. Even at close range, their traps are quite beautiful to see, like strands of pearls or the crystals of a chandelier.

These threads are essentially fishing lines. Each worm drops its own thread…

…and waits patiently to reel in its catch…

…which it then consumes alive. 

And this is where the glowworm gets its scientific name, Arachnocampa luminosa, or more literally: glowing spider-worm. Interestingly, the light-emiting molecule responsible for the glowworm’s luminesences is called luciferen, named for the Latin lucifer, “bringer of light.”

After months of feeding, these larvae will build their cocoons, emerge as adult gnats, live just long enough to lay eggs, and so die. Gradually the eggs hatch, the night sky is reinvented, new constellations are born, and the cycle begins anew.

So remember: this world contains countless miracles of nature, but nature plays by its own dispassionately cruel rules!

When you see the stars, you know you will live. You are a frail thing in a vast world, a sailor in a storming ocean–and like a sailor, you live your life by the stars. You are a navigator, born with wings on your back, born to fly: so you fly. You lift your gaze to the sky and take flight, floating up, up to the stars. You will be home again, you will be safe again, and in the morning the world will be new.

And as you rise to meet the stars, they descend to swallow you.

I’m definitely too late but here is my little @tmanostalgiaweek drawing for the day 1 prompt: favorite!!

I love martni the most and my suspicion is that in season one he was about two seconds away from losing it at all times and trying his best to hold it together

Spur of the moment dnd game starting with a joke notes

Just so I don't forget since we may continue

Most this is from memory, will do best to be accurate

Blobbers kissed a worm, and the worms ran off before returning with flowers on their backs

Theo asks to trade and be dm

Blob eats the flowers

Failed constitution saving throw

-10 hp, 8/18 hp remains

Blob gets mad at worms "Bro what the fuck?"

"We are sorry, but you reminded us of somebody. The one we need to return to the forest." The worms explained

Insert confused player blob noises

"She has short brown hair, a purple backpack, and a monkey friend with rainbows. She ran away chased by a bright orange fox with a mask"

Angy player blob noises

Me laughing and singing the dora the explorer theme

Blobbers sighed "Where can I find this lord faquad looking ass?"

“nobody knows exactly where she went but people say you can hear womanly screams from the mountains exactly 1092 miles south from here, us worms, we are too slow to get there before she perishes of starvation, but you! We bet you could get her!” the worms offered

"What do I get in return tho, aside from an almost lethal allergic reaction to some plants." Blobbers tried

“well,” said the worms, “lets just say. If you dont,.,.,.,., we could always,..,. have a makeover montage until you look enough like the girl and then we would leave you at the edge of the forest for the person who wants her :)”

"Fuck that, I'm going home."

“But dearest blob,.,., you have no choice”

Scared player noises "tHEY KNOW MY NAME"

“Either find her or BE HER” The worms threaten, and so blob deeply terrified goes home to pack

Nat takes back over as DM

Blob goes into her room, finding her turtle sleeping peaceful in a bundle of stolen laundry and towels

Roll perception, and passes

She realizes she hears an odd sound, glancing about she realizes that it comes from her bed. The blankets twitch and in the shadows undee the bed an odd shape squirms.

"What the fuck??" Blob questions

The blanket stills. Then something silently falls over the bed and onto the floor.

Worms.

Blobbers screamed, awaking the turtle who quickly run to her leg. The blanket shifts and falls of the bed to reveal the bed had been eaten through the millions of worms.

"Blobbers, there is nothing to be afraid of. We are simply, keeping an eye on you."

Blobbers calms down, and frustratedly grabs her things

+2 healing potions(10 hp healed each.)

+1 flask of holy water

+1 disguise kit(includes,

+1 broad sword(2d4 damage)

+1 sleeping bag

+5 days provisions

+ one empty flask

+ 1 turtle(lorenzo)

Blob asks how the holy water is there

Nat explains she doesn't remember it being there before, maybe someone left it there.

Blob takes a long rest in the other room on a floor of pillows and blankets and wakes up at 1 am

hit points return to 18/18

Blobbers decides to go into town and steal a horse under the cover of night

"I don't like horses they scary and eat meat" "Horses are herbivores??*confused dm noises*"

Stlerch check, passed

Animal handling check passed

Blobbers grabs a handful of horsefeed and sneaks in through a window of the stables, soundless and invisible despite her pink clothing

She holds up the feed to the horse, and it silently nuzzles her face before eating out of her hand

"I change my mind QwQ I love horses"

Blob runs off, and looks to the sky looking to find which way is south

Intelligence check, passed

Blobbers finds a star pointed south this time of year and chases after it on her horse, then finds a perfectly smooth stone wall, stretching as far as the eye can see and blocking her path. The only opening a bared gate with a steal lock. Watched above the gate way with letters

Sld wl blf urc z yilpvm kfnkprm?

"Somebody needs to learn to spell"

Lorenzo nods, at least blobbers thinks it is a nod, but Lorenzo is a turtle eating a random bug they found on the ground.

"How do you fix a broke pumpkin?" She translated the puzzle, then furrowed her brows "eat it?"

A choking noise comes from the other side, and a slight laugh before a woman's voice is heard "I can't tell you the answer, the gate burns cheaters. Though I can help! What is a feild of a bunch of pumpkins called?" The voice

Language barriers get in way and dm gives answer for the sake of the game. And also because it would be unfair to just let blobbers suffer

"A pumpkin patch?"

The moment the words left her lips the lock melted, and fell to the floor in aa red hot pile of goo

Roll perception, 17

Blobbers walks through the gate, and her eyes lock with a woman of warm firey skin and bright green long hair that fell down her face in knots

Blobbers takes a moment, before realizing that she was staring at a nymph. A nature spirit, specifically a pumpkin

"Can I do a little dance that makes her want to hit me? Like the macarena"

Rolls charisma and passes

Blobbers dances, and the woman resists the urge to slap blob but instead laughs "Have you a reason to dance at such a late hour, or are you just /this/ happy to have passed the gate"

"Do you need a reason to dance at 3 am?"

She watches blobber for a moment, almost like she is studying blob

Then the pretty pumpkin lady begins to dance with blob doing her best to follow the movements "My name is Autumn Tarta" she grinned as she followed blob's lead in the macarena under the stars

Nap time, will add part two whenever we play again

Day 25 of posting random art until @netflix renews the cuphead show

Haha. Gloworm.

Magnus Archives Little Nightmares AU

I said I would do this and I did uwu

I got a few other ideas but I decided a bit of a Little Nightmares II format would be fitting, with Jon in a bit of a Mono role. If you know you know, but their abilities strike me as similar vibes wise. I do have ideas based on the Sound of Nightmares podcast to how the two ended up in the Nowhere.

Martin is kinda a Six role, but doesn't got the Six distrust of other ppl vibes she has, instead the distrust of ppl is all Jon so it's kinda a reverse there compared to Six and Mono. But considering the Maw is a giant ship that spirits folks away I figured that making the Tundra something of a similar concept would be fitting for Martin later down the line in the AU.

Anyways my ask box is open if folks got questions.
