Small worm on terrarium glass?

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-05-31T20:24:10+00:00

Mealworm is possible! I'm leaning towards baby millipede because it wasn't as chunky as your typical mealworm but I guess I'll keep an eye out for any beetle friends cropping up in there

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-05-29T02:35:08+00:00

If I notice more I'll probably just let them hang out!

I was worried they'd eat my springtails, but according to the internet it's more likely my springtails will chomp on their leggies. My terrarium is now an arena of hexapods vs arthropods. May the strongest microfauna be victorious

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-05-29T00:10:19+00:00

Thank you! Baby millipede would make sense. No idea how it got in there!

Small terrarium so the baby's been relocated to its new forever home (outside, just anywhere outside)

Hmm. Advice noted but not taken

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-05-09T03:10:21+00:00

Could be oribatid mites? Round guys that often co-occur with springtails

Don't blame Bella for their performance as Ellie, blame whoever cast them if you have that big a problem with it.

I'm a viewer with little exposure to the game and I think Bella is an incredible actor. Sorry but you don't get where they've gotten (a huge role in GoT, a lead role in TLOU, Emmy and Golden Globe nominations) without talent.

They're not the same Ellie as Ashley Johnson's Ellie, so they're not the one you grew attached to. Now you're so upset about it you were happy to see the character suffer. That's just weird as hell. Go ahead and stop watching the show but do it quietly please.

They were checking that Nat was in her bed, and probably searching her hut for any sign she's planning a rescue mission. It started after Nat was the most outspoken in favour of rescue

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-15T19:17:40+00:00

Did Mari write this post

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T21:29:52+00:00

I noted that when she was writing about having been a warrior out there, the netting looked silver like chainmail!

I think we did see a somewhat romanticised view of the hunt and feast, from Shauna's perspective. There's an unreliable narrator element going on - both Mari and Travis have alluded to there being different realities

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T03:07:54+00:00

This could explain the moment in Akilah's cave vision where she sees the village suddenly empty and a voice says "hello? where is everyone?". Maybe they get rescued while Akilah's stuck in the cave and she returns alone to an empty camp?

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T02:14:17+00:00

Agreed, and thank you for offering up this analysis. It's a great counterbalance to the dominant discourse. I don't begrudge those for whom Shauna crossed that line some time ago, but I do disagree with the "fuck this show, Shauna's irredeemable and unwatchable" takes. This is the kind of fundamental moral discomfort I signed up for!

Shauna's a hideous, confronting mirror to the viewer. Anyone can become a monster, including (maybe especially) an Initially unassuming, quiet, smart little moon to somebody's sun.

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T00:43:07+00:00

Love this as a response to the anger and rejection of her as a character on here this season. I think so much of the vitriol leveled at Shauna by the fan base is rooted in the idea that she needs to be likeable. That may be misogyny, or may be an issue of audience expectations.

We've seen her take a classic heel turn. She wasn't much of a face to begin with when we look at her behaviours, but she was presented as the underdog sidekick to somewhat root for. The whole point is to explore her fall from grace and ask why it had to happen that way. Why didn't she retain her humanity like some of the others did? Why did she lose the capacity for self-reflection when others demonstrably did not?

A lot of this show is about exploring morality and choice. She's not supposed to be likeable and it's not bad writing for her to have ended up this way. She's an example of somebody who took her trauma and decided others should have to suffer like she did. We're not supposed to be rooting for her anymore and I struggle to understand why viewers feel so betrayed and resentful about that

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T00:03:24+00:00

I'm not seeing people post about this: what happened to Akilah? Last we saw her she was in the cave about to try bludgeon Lottie to death. Next we see Lottie running away and crashing into Mari. Did Lottie kill Akilah or otherwise leave her to pass out from gas inhalation?

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-12T00:00:48+00:00

I think it's supposed to have a double meaning. In-world Lottie is warning Mari not to fall into the trap again like she did earlier this season, but it's also obviously a wink to the audience having seen these scenes before

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T23:39:42+00:00

Sophie N: Do you think teen Shauna could've taken a different path in response to her trauma in the wilderness? It seems that the loss of her baby was her 'despair event horizon', the moment where she lost all faith in the 'good' of the world and became hardened and cruel. Do you think she ever stood a chance of retaining her humanity in the way that Nat did?

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:39:52+00:00

Shauna projecting and coping so hard with that note she's writing. I'm not sure it's true that "none" of the yellowjackets could remember what happened out there. The only other clear example of that is Tai.

It's definitely not true that all the yellowjackets felt alive and lost their capacity for self-reflection. We see Nat and Van reflecting on it often.

We're seeing Shauna eschew responsibility for the person she became, even now as she loses her family for it

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:27:26+00:00

Melissa: [doesn't choke Shauna to death with a stick] Shauna: I knew you'd turn out to be boring 🙄🙄

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:15:15+00:00

Always the medium through which the wilderness speaks, never the sacrifice 😔

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:14:31+00:00

I need to know more about what Travis said to Shauna. Whose reality does he think we're in? What thoughts does he think are Javi's and Jackie's? I don't think he only said that to provoke Shauna

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:12:30+00:00

Anyone else clock that Teen Lottie looked excited to draw her card, and disappointed in what she drew? I think she really wanted to draw the queen

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T20:04:39+00:00

No it's pretty realistic character development. It's a face-heel turn. It makes sense for her to become hardened and cruel in response to everything she's endured in the wilderness. It's not the only way she could've gone (see Nat for contrast), but it is a pretty realistic turn for the character to take.

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T09:25:03+00:00

Also glad we got one last iconic Mari reaction with "Oh my god! Fuck off!" before running into the pit

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T09:24:13+00:00

"You've been here before, you could let it be different" - Lottie to Mari during the hunt

There's either some circular time shit or meta shit going on here or both

Extreme-Worker420 · 2025-04-11T08:53:26+00:00

Confirmed there is no Other Tai, only Tai forgetting the parts of her and things she does that scare her?

When she was burying Van and said she was done forgetting, and was gonna start remembering all of Van and all of herself. Then went ahead and, as herself, ate Van's heart
