There are insects who enter their adult stage with no mouth. They are here to fuck then starve.
Isn’t the Luna moth one
I think it’s the one that doesn’t have a digestive system tho
Cicadas too
How do they grow so big though?
How do they get the energy to grow eggs and stuff?
Store all the food they need (until they can fuck) when they could eat in their juvenile form.
New kink unlocked

The flower would go first.
This was my first thought. abscisic acid.
Also if a plant has a head, the head is in the soil, not the air.
That's its dick waving around up there.
Also it's vagina and uterus
EAT THE PETALS
Not a scientist, but that don’t look too scientific.
Biologist here. Can confirm, that's exactly how it happens. No need to look into plant physiology textbooks.
I repeat: do not look for plant physiology textbooks. Do. Not. Please. Please while you can. Do not.
Wondering if you say this in order to protect others from the pain/horror of learning it, or to protect some deep conspiratory secret. Maybe I'll just open a textbook and find out...
It's been half an hour and we haven't heard back. We can only assume the worst ...
Rest in pieces, NeatNi, you'll be forever remembered for your bravery.
What is the worst that could happen. Will also try itttttttarghhgg I'M DYING🖐️
The leaves continue to fall
All in all, just another leaf on the wall
But is it because NeatNit is too happy to even remember to come back or is it because he's gone for good?
Fucker trying to trick us into learning shit by making it taboo.
I'm an engineer and it's within the margin of safety
Is this one of their earlier comics, the lines are more wobbly
