Ant

Let me preface by saying, I am a black, pansexual woman. Let me tell you,my school life SUCKED.

I live in a predominantly white area outside of Cincinnati that has a 3% black population. I was bullied A LOT at school. I actually had to switch schools at one point because it got so bad. Someone put a noose in my cubby. Then, in high school, I cut off my hair and went natural (no relaxers) which was a big decision for me. Well apparently it was "distracting". When I was in the theater program, they only had 1 set of stage makeup for black people... 3 tones too dark for my skin (to put it in perspective, there were 10 total options. The next darkest was probably meant for latinx people).

It was middle school/high school when I realized I wasn't straight. I was scared shitless. My parents told me to tell noone because I live in a fairly conservative town. When I got crushes on people who weren't men I was terrified and felt ashamed. Teachers blatantly told me same-sex marriage was bad.

My older brother is 30. He has no job (hasn't worked since highschool), doesn't go to school, and lives with my parents still. All he does is make messes, and game all night. He games to the point that I can hear him yelling and screaming all night long, and its been a battle because I can not sleep with the amount of noise he has put out. Oh, also, I'm 17 and a female and will be moving out to my own apartment next Saturday for uni.

Anyway, it started like any other night last night. Around 12am he started to game, turned his volume on his speakers all the way up, and was yelling and screaming into whatever he was playing and when I asked him to turn it down, it escalated and it turned into a telling match between us. Needless to say, he got angry and destroyed my bedroom door (punching it). I was at my breaking point. My parents don't care, I haven't slept properly for about a month, and so I devised my plan of vengeance.

My brother went out early today with my aunt and left his do

You're trapped in a room with one of the above for 30 minutes. Assume they are aggressive.

EDIT: My apologies, I thought I was in r/antjokes.

And realised this game is incredible.

I started by killing all the ants in the ant nest (they were all soldier ants, not one worker ant was there). I then put a bed outside the ant hill to help pass the time in game. As well as exploring for a while as nothing was happening in the nest.

After about 1-2 days, I went back and there were a few worker ant scuttling about, I went into one of the nest chambers and noticed an ant egg was there. I continued to observe the worker ants and noticed that they were in fact coming into the chamber and spawning the eggs.

I decided to follow one of them and realised that there are two main chambers within the ant nest that workers will go to and spawn ant eggs. Eventually worker ants stopped laying eggs and I counter about 20ish in each chamber. They had spawned in about 40 eggs.

The ant then left the ant hill and started wandering about. Aimlessly it would appear, occasionally it would stop and observe me if I got too close and then just do nor

Before you ask, no, she doesn't have a problem with me keeping ants. I'm quite sure that's not the reason.

We had an argument earlier today. Later I left to get groceries and let her chill out. Came back, soon saw the state of the ant room (spare smaller bedroom where I keep them).

(guess I should give a crash course on ant farms so this makes sense: Most have two compartments. One emulates the underground colony with tunnels and chambers where the queen nests, then this is connected by a tube to a second part that emulates the above-ground world where the workers go to forage for food. Hope that makes sense. There's plenty of cool videos on Youtube of people's setups)

So anyway, my girlfriend had disconnected the two compartments, dumped the colony on the floor (so that's soil + ants) and dismantled the sides of the outworld part to leave the contents all over the place. I am lucky everything is plastic or there'd probably be broken glass everywhere too.

I've had these ants for o

A bit about me:

I'm a Chinese-Canadian artist based in Vancouver, BC. I graduated from Capilano University's 2D Animation & Visual Development program in 2018, and started working at Giant Ant shortly after. A few months following that I was approached by Trigger to help out with the concept art on BNA, and I wound up getting involved in a lot of other things too, such as illustrating key visuals and directing the show's ED animation.

I've been posting actively since 2012, and prior to university I'd spent a lot of time studying art independently. I've written a lot of art tutorials in the past as well- many of them are a little outdated now, but if you're curious you can find them all here.
