Stanley, Millipede, Bug
22 ★ He/It/They

Hey, I'm Stanley!Lover of even the ugliest bugs and enjoyer of all things horror genre. Connoisseur of weird cat OCs and collector of cool rocks. Local fungi.

M O R E !

I consider myself mostly a digital artist, but I also dabble in various physical media;
Painting, sculpting, sewing, all sort of things!When I'm not drawing I like to watch animated shows & movies. I have a soft spot for stop-motion, puppetry, and clay-mation. And I also play lots of survival & base building/resource collecting games.My other hobbies include collecting character designs, story writing, and using lots of exclamation points!!

I N T E R E S T S !

Before You Follow !

>>> I like, share, and create art that might contain;
- mildly suggestive imagery & artistic nudity
- gore, violence, horror, body horror
- dreamcore, unreality & liminal spaces
- insects, crustaceans, arachnids & mollusks
- clowns & clown/funhouse horror
If you're sensitive to any of these subjects it's in your best interest to not follow!

>>> I have an anxiety panic disorder, autism, and likely also ADHD. Please be patient with me!>>> My social anxiety is horrible and I'm not great at keeping track of time. If I don't respond in a timely matter please know it's not anything you did! I either got too nervous and psyched myself out or got stuck in an executive dysfunction loop until I forgot completely, just give me another poke!>>> If we're mutuals feel free to invite me to group chats! I'm quiet but I can be funny sometimes. However unless we've been interacting for a while I'm not a fan of private 1 on 1 conversations>>> If you're not an expressive typer, peppering what you say to me with emojis like :) :D =3 helps my anxiety a lot!>>> I love bugs and not just the "cute" ones! Seriously. Two of my favorites are vinegaroons and sun spiders, they are hideous little monsters and I love them. I will CW if I post real life pics or realistic art myself, but I also like/fav real pics and realistic art of bugs that may not be CWed, so just be wary!>>> If you attack closed species or copycat them maliciously, don't interact. I understand not liking them but seeing people be so malicious makes me really uncomfortable, since I personally enjoy them. I even run an ARPG based CS of my own and it's a lot of fun but also a lot of work!
