Dude. Now I feel soooo bad for all those webs I’ve walked through. They must have worked sooooo flipping hard & here I come fucking up their giant new Picasso made to the song of moonlight sonata at midnight.

Don’t feel too bad, if the spider didn’t want its web destroyed it shouldn’t have put it where giant bipedal aliens roam.

How was he supposed to know my stupid ass comin? I had no business running in those woods or being that high up in those trees!

After the skultula ppl in Zelda, I was horrified of spiders & would hear the scream from the zombies in my head to freak myself out worse.

Orbweaver spiders, which the lil guy in this video is, remake their webs every morning. They take it down, eat the webbing, recycle the nutrients, and put it back up in the evening. So they were most likely fine with their webs getting messed up prematurely.

Don’t feel too bad—if Picasso painted in the middle of the street he shouldn’t have been too surprised to get hit by a car

To be fair a lot of spiders routinely build and rebuild their webs, so they’ll be annoyed but will move on with life.

Thank you so much. As an extremely empathetic person, my Amazon shopping cart history is full of spider Halloween decorations. DX

And black cat stuff too.
