This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For one to love another so similar to themselves, is that selfless or vain?

To be fair, the pair she is referring to are literally identical. She's not criticizing them for being gay.

Her views on the flies in The Slab however, are somewhat problematic, but they are pretty gross and locked Hornet in a cell without just cause so she has right to be mad at them

They tried to wear her cloak, too. Valid crashout on her part

Remember that Hornet's journal is filled out after a dozen or so of the creature in question attempted to kill her.

It's the war journal of a spider (demigoddess?) who is sifting through the wreckage of yet another broken kingdom of madness, inequality, overreach, and suffering.

She is kind or respectful to pretty much everyone who isn't trying to kill her. I wish chuds wouldn't try to read their worst tendencies into her.

It sounds more like racism and being against cybernetic augmentation

"Wishing flies weren't so quick to breed is racist" is such a cobweb-thin pretense that we should feel bad that they tricked us into debating it.

Freshflies fly around the room in straight lines until they hit a wall, at which point they change direction. They deal damage on contact and explode when defeated, dealing additional damage in a radius to both Hornet and other enemies.

yeah, it's literally considering them pests like we would real flies except they explode

They're worse than real flies and we're supposed to treat them with empathy? No, Hornet is on the money with this take.

Her dad changed his body type from a great worm to a muuuch smaller humanoid form.

I will not, and you shouldn't either.

I don't imagine she likes him that much.
