🐜 | nobody is insignificant.

Huh. Y’know, I-I tried to describe myself to my old psychiatrist a couple times, and it never really went anywhere, so... maybe this time, knowing what I know now and having been through what I've been through, maybe I might have a, ah... better answer to that. I mean, I get this isn’t a therapy session – it’s missing the big, comfy couch, for a start – but I’ll take what I can get.

Okay, so, what’s to know about me? I’m the middle child in a family of five million, and even then I was still the odd one out. I know, crazy. Never really helped my inherent issues with abandonment, feeling like I was so insignificant as an ant that I’d be stuck working the dirt relocation shifts for the rest of my days. Just another ant among the thousands, probably millions of us in the colony that were never good enough to be out in the field with the big guns.

Hard to think I’m now effectively the Prince Consort of the entire colony now, isn’t it? I-I’ll make a long story short here: I ended up meeting the princess, a lovely girl named Bala, who I didn’t realize was the princess until I snuck my way into the soldier ranks (which I owe Weaver the biggest solid for) and ended up being the, erm... last ant standing, I guess, which allowed me to have a little one-on-one with the royals themselves, including her and her, uh... ex-fiancee, General Mandible.

Yeah, the less said about him, the better.

Anyway, we got separated from the colony and ended up near Insectopia, where we soon discovered that ol’ General Blood and Guts was planning to wipe out the entire worker caste because... I don’t know, classist stuff or whatever. I (accidentally) rallied a revolt against him, nearly drowned after he went psycho and tried to tackle me into a giant pit of water (honestly, I’m amazed it took that long for him to snap), which clearly didn’t work since, well, I-I’m here, aren’t I?

In the end, sure, I didn’t end up fleeing the coop or what have you, but with the colony being in a better state than it ever was under the General’s law and order? I think I could absolutely get used to this now.
