Brenthia quadriforella, a metalmark moth that mimics jumping spiders.
Photo of a grey moth sitting on a leaf. The moth and its wings are up in the air, similar to a paper flower. The front wings have eye-like markings on the tips, whilst the hindwings stick out the side. The wing position and markings are similar to the appearance of a jumping spider. The moth has dull greyish colours.

Here's information about his employment, he's trying to find work as a waiter, but seemingly only found one shift.
"Very similar situation here in Europe unforch. shaking ur hand But congrats on getting the job !! It really does seem like the job market is mostly based on connections rather than skill so us youngins are going through it cuz most youngins are still in uni and stuff all the interviews I landed are this same kind of job .. that seems to hire you for being a desperate young job seeker and are the equivalent of begging with extra steps. hell, begging might be less humiliating than this. Needless to say I've been sending dozens of waiter applications in the past hour, the shift is not even over yet"

Here's his new avatar, he's trying reinvent himself again. If you see anyone like this stay away (he also made a "new OC" that's just mystery again)

Twisted-Doctor is actively trying to convince people he's not a pedophile after grooming 10 kids. "I didn't know better", he did. He went out of his way to hide it. It's always such pedophile shit to do this stuff, pretend nothing happened and that you aren't the problem. #dolleye
EDIT: I still stand by this apology despite it being unlisted - it's always going to be available for view, but I've determined it's not beneficial to have it up at the forefront of my channel. I acknowledge I'm never the best at handling important situations like these, there's a lot of details that the public will never know, I don't want to throw anyone else under the bus, heavy feelings get in the way, and a lot of assumptions are made. It's a mess "This person is a pedophile" is an extreme oversimplification of what is otherwise a partially presented complex situation. And I don't blame anyone for thinking that, it's easier to view it this way. I have never been a pedophile, but I've been a terrible, negligent person nonetheless, and there isn't a day that I don't feel a load of regret. I wish I knew what the right thing to do was, it's hard when you're told so many different things. I'm sorry

Here's an example of the type of shit I'm referring to by the way. Like no one genuinely cares about art on that site.
Screenshot from 2023 at the beginning of the genocide. The AO3 post was made by a user who had palestine posts taken down, with users on the site stating "AO3 is a fanfiction site only. Reported". The poster laments why palestine works are taken down while sexualizations of real people are not. Screenshots were uploaded to reddit, with the following attached images being reactions to the AO3 post. Response by litaloni: "Oh my lord it's a fanfic archive. I think this person is intentionally missing the point and using Palestine in order to advance a pro-censorship agenda. Sick. Also, I don't think it should be controversial to say that people should be able to fucking read fanfiction without being forced to confront all the horrors the world has in it. We weren't built to be tuned into every human rights crisis in the world 24/7. No one is a bad person for wanting to read fanfiction and tune the horrors out for a few minutes a day. Maybe I'm just worn down because I have spent so much of my life doing work that forces me to confront horrible shit. Idk. But the rules of the archive are clear." A reply reads: "The pushing of the pro-censorship agenda under the guise of being an advocate was the worst part for me. It was already misplaced when I began to read it, and then it just got disingenuous once I saw the pro-censorship stuff." One commenter reads: "I want to add that most of the comments were great. Basically everyone there agreed this was garbage. For those who don’t know, AO3 is the biggest online fanfiction archive. Only fan works like fanfiction, fan art, etc are allowed there. That said, the above comments were incredibly frustrating. I actually completely agree with Litaloni’s first comment! I just want to read fanfiction to relax and for escapism. No one should be made to feel bad about that. But then uh… it spiraled into “Israel is committing genocide “, etc. Y’all I’m so tired. I kinda wish the original OP had never posted this because like… I go on the AO3 subreddit and read fanfiction for fun! I used to read fanfiction every night to wind down , and after October 7th, I was so fucking anxious that I literally couldn’t focus on anything else except the war. I’ve been able to actually read fanfiction again lately, and it’s been wonderful. I just hate that the Israel-Hamas war is everywhere right now, even on a fucking fanfiction subreddit and website." A reply reads: "Omg same! I was so shocked and disappointed in the subreddit when I saw those posts. I suggest taking four or five days away from Reddit. After the ceasefire today/tomorrow I hope it all calms down."

Nathaniel has shown that America is fully aware Israel will brutalize journalists, but states that they are allowed to.
Jasper Nathaniel says: The US Embassy said that no, they cannot protect me. Embassy says: "We've already told the Israelis that they plan to be out there again tomorrow - I'm friends with the mayor, Lafi - but then again, we told the Israelis yesterday that the villagers would be out there today." Nathaniel says: "We need American protection. We are Americans" Embassy says: "Unfortunately, we simply can't do that, much as I might personally like to. We haven't got the manpower to protect the nearly 60k American Palestinians, and legally, we're not permitted." Nathaniel says: "I'm an American tourist. Can you protect me" Embassy: "Unfortunately, no. The protection of American citizens is always the the responsibility of the host nation government, which is why we pull our embassies out of places that host nation can't or won't protect them (Syria, Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, etc.)." Nathaniel says: Are you implying that the Israeli government will protect me and the other Americans here? I don't understand. The IDF led us directly into an ambush. Nathaniel says: "That's what's supposed to happen, yes."

I feel like I'm the only one who knows about these. They were made by someone who created a flashgame from my childhood. I don't care if they're short I love them. Short games can still be fantastic.

In Rockhampton, these birds are common. When I visited the city a month ago, I saw them steal sugar packets from cafes. I wasn't able to figure out why, but it's possible they wanted to tear open the packets and eat the sugar inside.
Photo of the blue-faced honeyeater on a cafe table. As described in the artwork, the bird has a mostly white and olive colour scheme but with a bright blue marking around the eyes. It sits there waiting for me to leave to eat the leftover food on my plate.

Blue-faced Honeyeater
08/10/25
Pixelart illustration of a blue-faced honeyeater pouring sugar into a teacup. The bird species has an olive-coloured back, a black head and a white belly. Its name comes from the bright blue markings around its eyes. The tea cup is white with a golden brim. The bird stands on its brim and handle pouring in sugar from a sugar packet. The background is a minimalist drawing of some buildings. The main illustration is done in a realistic style.

Steps of the Bank from September 2020. I've been thinking about redoing this one for a while.
pixelart illustration of a beggar on the steps of a golden bank. The illustration's main colours are black and bronze, with the large pillars and golden ornaments overshadowing the beggar. A statue with a distorted depiction of a man on a horse is also seen on the right.

What apology? You barely apologized at all. You're only coming back due to being unemployable. The victims wanted one thing: for you to leave for good. You've neither apologized or left.
Twisted-Doctor's reason for taking down the video reading: "I still stand by my apology and am working on myself, but I don't see a point in this video being up, it reached the people it needed to reach." The apology was only viewed by 50k people last I checked.
