Hey 'sup, my name is bridget and this is my reblog-blog. Idk man it's like, a weirdly curated illustration inspiration blog with a smattering of dumb video game and tv series gifsets.
You should check out my sketches and wordstuff over on
Science wasn’t actually certain how fungi like cordyceps “hijacked” their host’s behavior, and we always kind of assumed it was causing some simplistic damage to the brain.
As it turns out, it works much more elaborately and much MORE like the dramatized sci-fi horror parasites constantly inspired by it.
These fungi integrate themselves on the cellular level with the host’s tissues, actually seem to send signals to the host’s muscles and even alter the host’s genes with their own.
All the while, THE BRAIN ISN’T INVADED AT ALL.
These fungi, all along, have been converting their hosts into animal-fungal hybrids they control while the host’s brain and consciousness remain helplessly alive and largely unaltered.
I love knowing how my deepest, darkest horrors have been proven a reality.
