How are you, darling~? Tell me about your week so far and what you're excited for, please!
I’m fine, thank you for asking <3 I’m actually excited for a lot this week!
1. Doing final edits of “Seeking the Storyteller,” the urban supernatural adventure series I have with my wifey. Once final edits are done we’ll get a release date from our publisher, OMG!
2. Found out we’re going to Daisho Con just for fun next weekend! <3 We’re going to stay at the hotel with some friends, and then I found out that some other friends will be there, and THEN I found out my girl who cosplays Lottie is bringing her Lottie so we can take Lottie and Tiana pictures together!!! Also they have an art show so hope to put some stuff in it. And also found out one of my favorite voice actors will be there (J. Michael Tatum)
3. My mom is coming to visit for Thanksgiving! She’s staying for a week and we’re gonna have a ton of fun :) Also found out that her and my wifey’s mom have been talking back and forth to one another online, and they’re getting along great. This is a huge deal because, once upon a time, my wifey’s parents weren’t cool with us being together, now our mothers are talking, almost daily <3
4. The Holiday Expo here is coming up soon and we have a table.
KYAH EXCITEMENT!

KILL IT. KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!! THOSE LITTLE SHITS ARE EVIL! KILL IT!
you
did
not
just
I DID!
THOSE THINGS BITE AND THEY KILL LADYBUGS AND BRING ABOUT THE RUIN OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BEARING PLANTS!
are you talking about the ladybug or the hand
That is NOT a ladybug, bro. NOT A LADYBUG. IT IS AN ASIAN BEETLE AND IT IS PURE EVIL!
Of course I am talking about the bug. The hand is fine. Unless it has slain puppies and kittens, then it, too, may be evil. But, no. THE BUG OF SATAN. e-e They breed way too quickly and are choking out the north american Ladybug and they infest homes and cause all around problems… mostly because of how quickly they breed and how, in the fall, they swarm houses.
AND THEY BITE. e-e They are irritating little jerks! ”This species is widely considered to be one of the world’s most invasive insects,[5][6] partly due to their tendency to overwinter indoors and the unpleasant odor and stain left by their bodily fluid when frightened or squashed, as well as their tendency to bite humans”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis
Everyone says they’re just like ladybugs but A LADYBUG HAS NEVER BITTEN ME.
holy shit
Oh wow informative
HOLY HECK OKAY
So I don’t know this for sure but:
A few years ago, a HUGE swarm of what we thought were ladybugs at the time (I’m coming to realize that they were probably these Asian beetles) absolutely infested the area around my house. We couldn’t open our windows or doors during the LATE SUMMER for any period of time except to get in or out, and they still got in. I was too freaked to sleep in my own bed because I have a lot of windows in my room and I had seen a bunch of them crawling around inside.
When you went outside, they got in your hair and clothing and sometimes bit you. You had to wear sunglasses and keep your mouth closed or they would get in. Every crevice of the corner of our house was filled with thousands of them. It was HELL. To this day, ladybugs freak me out and if I see more than 2 in one area I start losing it. It’s entirely likely and possible, as far as I can tell, that the bugs that infested the area near our house were not ladybugs but were, in fact, Asian beetles such as the one in this picture.
So, as tumblr user oneoddobsession stated, KILL IT WITH FIRE. These things ruined my family’s fall and have ruined my appreciation of ladybugs. Plus, they ate all my pumpkins I had grown that year (*a single tear rolls down her cheek*). Don’t underestimate the power of bugs and insects, especially when they are alien to an area.
this is a great and informative post but are you telling me ladybugs literally have an evil twin
Actually I remember this. We thought they were lady bugs too, they literally attacked my college campus one year because I remember walking back to my place from class was terrible! They were all on the buildings and flying in the air and it was crazy! They also attacked my dad’s house one summer, and we were like, “I’ve never seen this many lady bugs before,” but nope. Not lady bugs. At all. And I swear we had everything closed but they still got in, and just, ugh.
TMI Tuesday

Oh I guess it’s that time. I rarely get asks or anything but here it is anyway <3

O.K. this is actually really cute to me. I want this to be me and my wifey with our books and stuff, like, “Aw man you won this time laaaaaame” playful punch, giggle, smile.
Hey friends! It appears that we will be going to Daishocon this weekend, just to hang out <3 This is pretty unexpected. We haven’t been to a con just to go in a long, long time, so this should be fun!
Gotta figure out what costumes to bring, but Tiana is a definite because my friend is going to be Lottie, and we can get pictures together finally!
Yay con!
