Spoiler!
TBF literally nothing could spoil GoT more than it's actual ending.
I haven't seen a horrific derailment like that since True Blood season 3.
I'm so spiteful towards GRRM for not finishing the book series that I'm kind of happy his legacy will be that tv show.
Well now you ruined aerodynamics for me, thanks.
that's ok. bumblebees fly anyway.
It's been over 10 years now.
Spider does it different
Oh look! A coin!
last entry in prehistoric shaman's log
Spider's only got themself to task with all the jobs. Queenie just squirts out furnishings at whim.
Slight trypophobia vibes
For ants, it probably doesn't get more special and important (other than being queen).
Bonus! Sometimes, he's also ajar.
Alternative spin: you are the guardian of the hive, only you have been given the genetic power from the queen to protect us when our enemies are at the door, we all rely on you. Also I don't think ants can build doors!
I'm pretty sure they sometimes send a sacrificial ant or two out at night to seal up an entrance from the outside.
You pass butter.
The ant: I am the apex of a line of ancestors that gave me both a purpose and the ability to fulfill it. I could not ask for a more perfect existence.
So literally Hodor irl?
Better as door, than as bottle
I dunno. I think this ant is head and shoulders above the rest.
Ain't this basically just a bouncer to a bar?
Maybe it makes the ant super happy? Some lifeforms might enjoy their jobs, even though it's a difficult thought for me as a corporate underling.
Arguably, you are also the gatekeeper
Reminds me of Elfquest
