Post you from a different era of your life
Micro at a party with four friends surrounding her. They are sitting on a staircase. Micro is sitting on the far left with long purple hair wearing all black. She is making a growling face with eyes closed. Another friend has his arms around both micro’s and another friends shoulders. Someone stands behind them sticking his tongue out at the camera. There is an orange, grainy instagram filter applied to the photo which gives it a classic 2014 look.

Everybody knows I love my entomology tattoos.

Left: death’s head hawk moth (think Silence of the Lambs)

Right: The assassin bug (display namesake) also known as the kissing bug

#tattoosky #entomology #entosky
The back of micros head showcasing a fresh tattoo of a deaths head hawk moth in the center of her neck, right where her neck meets her hairline. The moth is heavily shaded with the classic skull shape on its thorax. The antennae are long and feathery, with a crescent moon in the center. She has a shaved head with bleached blonde hair, and gold hoop earrings. A tattoo of an assassin bug on micro’s right hand. The bug is oriented vertically, with its antenna pointing toward her middle finger. The insect is surrounded by black and grey foliage. Her hand rests on top of an open book which has an illustration of an assassin bug, done using pointillism and stippling effects.

Happy Sunday👣

Micro taking a mirror selfie with a shaved light blue head. She is wearing a grey cropped hoodie with purple text reading “Wilshire Huskies” with an illustration of a large husky wearing a football jersey. Her hood is half covering her head with yellow hoop earrings. She is rolling her eyes and her bottom lip is poked out in a pouting face. Her phone covers half her face and its case is modeled to resemble a GameBoy. Micro taking a mirror selfie with a shaved light blue head.

Switched up my girl’s old cardboard house for a real bunny castle
A cozy den room features a dark gray sectional sofa in the left corner, a colorful striped rug, and a wooden entertainment console with a TV. In the foreground is a rainbow-patterned playmat. Against the wall is a wooden castle-like rabbit playhouse, with a white-and-brown rabbit nearby. Natural light streams through partially closed blinds, adding warmth to the space.
