A Silly Comic.

I love when sickie shows small signs that they’re frustrated about being sick.

Like, a light groan after a sneeze. A sharp string of curses when fever chills pick up again. A deep sigh as they massage their pounding forehead.

angst has run out (blatant lie; actually just me compensating for it)

We don't talk about Wizeman

Dialogue Prompt

“Seriously, you’re starting to scare me.” 

“I’m fine.” 

“Well, you don’t look fine.” 

That Iconic Aesthetic when a character is both feverish and super congested so they get that hazy look where their eyes are not even half lidded like, ¾ lidded but they’re definitely awake, just too groggy and gross to be attentive.

I just think they would be pals...............

I had this idea in my head for WAY too long.

Wasps in Bug Fables

While the yellow jackets controlled by the Wasp King represent a significant portion of the antagonistic force, they're not the only wasps in Bugaria. After a couple separate conversations about wasps, I thought I'd round them all up and display the variety to be found.

First off, let's get the ones you fight out of the way. These are the ones under Hoaxe's mind-control via their antennae. Fuff, while a hornet, is also a eusocial species and compelled to serve.

Next up, we have the members of the nest who aren't under the Wasp King's control. -Queen Vanessa II stated she was protected from Hoaxe's fire thanks to the brooch, but as far as I recall, it isn't explicitly said that she'd have been under his influence without the brooch either. Maybe as Queen, she's immune to mind control. -Then there's Jayde who is protected from control thanks to the crystal necklace Vanessa gifted her at some point in the past. She acts controlled around other wasps so that she doesn't get singled out and locked up. -A few yellow jackets aren't able to be controlled thanks to broken or bent antennae. I only have Voi pictured here, but there's also the one that got imprisoned because they didn't cotton on and pretend.

Then we have some solitary species of wasps who, while not outright stated in the game, likely wouldn't be receptive to mind control, especially not at range, since they wouldn't have the genetic inclination to follow a queen or be part of a hive mind.

So, who does that leave? Reeves and Zasp, the two wasps that we know have been accepted as explorers. -Reeves' species isn't specified past "wasp" in the Wiki. He's a paler yellow than the yellow jackets, and I believe the orange under his scarf? cloak? are his wings, so whatever he is, he's probably not related to the nest. I would suggest that he's an orange spider wasp, but his body is yellow and he doesn't have enough black, so idk! He's probably a solitary wasp, whatever he is. -And then Zasp, our beloved. Paper wasps in general are eusocial like most other wasps of the vespidae family. I would argue that his antennae are bent that way more for character design than to show they're "broken," so I suppose, he'd be susceptible to the Wasp King's influence. Maybe his dedication to Mothiva is too strong lol. Maybe he's just never in range/in Hoaxe's attention enough to become a thrall. Or maybe the explorer permit that I assume he carries protects him. The permits have crystals in them, and we know a crystal is what protects Jayde...

Anyway, that's all the wasps! Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Oh, editing to add, in case someone isn't aware- the Wasp King himself isn't actually a wasp! He's a thick-headed fly that mimics a wasp.
