You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BTW, did you guys know that the adult domesticated silk moth has no mouth???

Some years back there was a suburban development in northern Canberra that was being held up on environmental concerns. My nother was watching a news report with my younger brother:

News: "The proposed development site is the home of two indigenous species, the earless dragon and the mouthless moth."
M: "I don't know why they're concerned about them, can't they see they're mutants?"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wow, I certainly like commas when I'm all ambiened up, don 't I?

Commas are very relaxing!

Earless dragons and mouthless moths in the same place? Sitcom! Or they fight crime.

How do they eat? Do wild silk moths have mouths? I'm so curious and my job is not all about researching moths, dammit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's nice to see other people type on Amibien...Ambienishly.

Polgara, I'm sorry for you loss, and despite not reading what you deleted, my heart goes out even more to you for its complexity.

My brain is fucking with me so hard that I can't face going to work--the one where one of my "interesting" relatives when full Miley (while dating the Biebs) was bad enough, but last night I woke up in sheets of tears because I let a great-grandson get hit by a car and lose an arm.

I don't understand how to start the day after all that. I'm not hungry, I'm just disgusted and feel sorry for myself for no reason because even though nothing happened, everything was felt.

Even the Maytag man isn' cheering me up. I can't be sick again. Maybe I can work from home on an off day.

Art Crawl!!!

Ah, well, domesticated adult silk moths starve to death. I don't know if wild silk moths (the species that the domesticated version is from - is still out there) also die of starvation.

Become adult and just start dying from starvation? Damn. That is hardcore.

I'm sorry, ita, that's rough to have your dreamworld fuck with you like that.

All sorts of reasons to have adolescent angst right there.

Right? How amazing the adolescent poetry of the domestic silkworm must be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do they know they're going to die? Maybe their poetry is all about the things they'll do, the places they'll see, what's this uncomfortable constricting sensation?
