TIL bookworms are a real thing
The Very Hungry Bookworm
Does it look cool if you flip-animate it?
Did this scare the living shit out of you when you opened it? Because that would’ve been my reaction lmao. It also looks like a beautiful (albeit sickening) Rorschach
Why are my parents arguing in thw second pic
Ugh that shit makes my skin itch
Genuine tripophobe’s nightmare
It’d be fascinating to try and make a cast of the holes and tunnels, kinda like people do with ant colonies sometimes. I don’t know if it would be possible in this regard, especially without irreparably damaging the book, but it would be a neat desk ornament if you pulled it off.
This makes me realise I may actually be mildly trypophobic
The House at Riverton by Kate Morton, also known as The Shifting Fog
It’s quite pretty
Pretty sure this is the work of a termite
I thought it was weird goo until I zoomed in. I would have to burn that book.
That is kinda neat as long as you didn’t get the bug with the book.
I shouldn’t have zoomed in
I had one attack my copy of the hobbit when I had it stored in a garage.
Looks like the plot might have a few holes.
It looks a bit like the ink blots that used to be used in psychiatry
beautiful, decorative, respectfully non-obtrusive – 10/10
accidental rorschach inkblots
I found what looked like a shit stain in a book once. I wasn’t smelling it or tasting it, but I am a mom sooooo I felt like that was enough experience to call it that. Now I flip through books at the thrift store.
Kinda neat. Adds character or something haha
Microwave it to kill any eggs. It’s a standard practice for wormy wood.
TIL bookworms are literal
“A bookworm… A bookworm… I’m nothing but a bookworm… Nothing ever happens… To me” 🪱
Cool. Even more collectable
Looks like the margins did their job.
This is me discovering bookworms are actual creatures
I got worms.
I thought it was an illustration.
Well it was nice of them not to damage the text
It looks both super cool and a little unsettling
Gently brush them off with a paintbrush, I’m sure they’ll come off easily.
That slaps. He’s an artist for sure
?????
I thought that was just a cute silly phrase 😭
that is absolutely horrifying! But interesting nonetheless.
So long as the bugs are gone now, that’s awesome.
And that’s why pages have margins!!
Bloody poindexters
Worm made Bell image ) nice
Now I’m curious. What does it look like if you flip through the pages really fast?
r/TheMagnusArchives would love this
I wonder if it prefers areas where fingers were
r/magnusarchives the corruption is fucking with the eye again
(Running on the assumption that books are inherently eye related)
