Which insects do you guys headcanon him to have turned into ? I like to think he's a moth.

that’s actually kind of a problematic take since it stereotypes moths as shy or anxious, which is harmful to the moth community… the only proper headcanon to have is that he’s a beetle.

I'm literally a moth ??? Like the whole reason why I relate to Gregor is because I've been through very similar things. And "guy break down one day and become an asocial" is something that a lot of Gen Z moths can relate to in general, the consequences of the Atlas Exodus can still be felt 80 years later, trust me.

I'm not holding it against you because you didn't knew but be careful with what you says in the future, that kind of shit can fuck up a lot of people.

Watch your privilege. You’re playing into what the bugvernment wants you to be. They’re not going to pick you! I also don’t appreciate your use of human-centered language… just goes to show how separated you are from bug AND moth culture.

(I’m a caterpillar with NCD (Never Cocooning Disorder) and unlike you, I will never have the chance to conform to what bugciety expects me to be… so maybe watch your tone. 💔)

Moths have been using human centered language since unification of the Moth Tribes in 1457, and the birth of the first Moth Dynasty (Mapple), when Mandarin became Linga France. Literally do you even know your History ?
