Anthro Francis (A Bugs Life) TF.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world of beauty Youtubers has been a very popular one in recent years and there is one beauty Youtuber who try excelled when it came to his makeup tutorials and outfits, his name is Glenn Carterson aka Glenn the Glamor Bug or GlamorBug Creates/GC as his channel often had him listed as. He specialized in glamed up Disney character makeups. He had dark brown curly hair that he often styled into various different styles and quite androgynous looks that people often thought he was a woman everytime they saw him, he was into theater and perfoming and even though some people did think he was female because of his looks and because of this and his career as a drag-queen, drag was a passion of his hence why he enjoyed dressing as characters like Edna Turnblad, Rita Repulsa, Elvira, Aunty Entity, or even a number of female Disney characters. He of course did go by male pronouns, except when in drag of course since those were characters who were female.

One evening he was doing a video where he was doing A Bugs Life themed tutorial with his bestie Emma, aka Princess Emma-star29, and he was working on the idea of doing a look based on his favorite character from the movie - Francis, he always identified with and related to that character, even though Francis was often mistaken for a female by those rude flies he stood up to them and also looked damn good doing that, not to mention being the most stylish one of the circus troop. Red and black of course being Glenn's two favorite colors, especially when cosplaying. Emma showed him a cute little ladybug necklace that a fan of his had sent him and he was very thankful for it, he adjusted the necklace before trying it on. 'How do I look?'

"You look glamorous."

"Naturally."

He tried carefully not to get anything on the necklace as he applied the makeup on himself and he hummed the song 'Tme Of Your Life' from the movie, but as he did...his complexion slowly lightened up a little bit and became sort of a pale grey-ish color, which he didn't mind though, since it gave him a slightly haunted look. His physique slowly rounded out a bit, making him gain weight and making him appear to be a bit chubby as his hands changed a little...dark red nail-polish was applied on his fingernails as a pair of black fingerless gloves materialized on his hands. Which was a look he thought looked extremely good in as an outfit resembling the body of a ladybug materialized on his body, which was a glamorous dark greyish one.

Appearance-wise he did look kind of like he was a gijinka version of the character only he wasn't the size of a bug as he looked at his legs and found a pair of red and black tights materializing on them, in additino to this he slowly grew up a few sizes in height as he looked at the necklace. He adjusted it and adjusted the mirror that was in his phone, he wanted to make sure the look was perfect and true to the character - which it was...as a pair of wings with a dotted pattern emerged from his back, and he was able to get those wings to move up and down and he was able to hover and fly using them. He couldn't believe it, he was not only making himself up as the character but also becoming a human-sized version of that character too.

Emma had to admit that he did look good with that makeup on, and she of course loved to see him in drag especially when taking on numerous roles like for example Princess Peach, Mrs Brinks, Queen Brahme, and Jessica Rabbit, since it gave him a chance to show his acting talent. He batted his eyes as his hair turned from brown to black and became slightly curlier, developing a slightly MJ-esque jeri curl in the middle, his eyes widened and also darkened in color as eyelashes blossomed around them. a pair of insectoid antennae slowly grew from the top of his head. He chuckled a little as his features softened but remained masculine, a beauty mark manifesting on the left side of his face as his lips plumped up, giving him a look that was girlish and elegant but also still masculine, the eyeshadow he applied blended in well and gave him a daring look.

Within a few seconds later, his features and appearance in general looked a lot like the character's own as his voice deepened and gruffened, making him sound a lot like Dennis Leary, which was fitting. His personality altered as he began to remember his run as a circus performer but also as an actor and professional glamor bug, he remembered that he was part of a trio with two bug best-friends, Slim and Heimlich, that anthro stick insect and caterpillar were always there for him. And he couldn't deny he wouldn't be where he was told without them, or his girls for that matter...the girls being the Blueberry scouts of course. A few more seconds later and he remembered he was Francis. Francis hugged Emma and thanked her for inviting him on the show.

"You're welcome...you're a natural at this."

"Thanks. I have had a lot of practice.'

He enjoyed his role as a drag queen tremendously and he loved greeting fans, and being a ladybug-guy with a motherly side was definitely something that he was good at too, while he came across as crass and/or rude, he was only that way because he got bullied a lot because of his feminine appearance, that's why he acted tough. Just then...anthro versions of Slim and Heimlich appeared next to him, Heimlich was seen eating some of the snacks left over from a foodie vlogger's recent video, and Slim was posing for photoshoots, he had finally broken out of being stuck as the 'stick'. Francis flew over to Heimlich and Slim and gave them both kisses, he even passionately kissed Slim and hugged him...just because he was a male ladybug or 'ladybug-guy' didn't mean he could love both genders, after all he was bisexual and not in the 'take that critics this character is gay/bi so you cannot mock them' sense either, as in he actually had interest in both genders and both genders were attracted to him.

That was the best part of his routine, being someone that could be appreciated by both males and females and having fans of both genders gave him the courage to perform and he loved making guest appearances on beauty themed Youtube channels, he had recently gotten into RuPaul's Drag Race and was very much a fan of the show, even going so far as to do tutorials based on the queens, all in a days work for a glamor bug. He knew how to rock the looks he came up with and he definitely knew how to have a good time, he was naturally gifted at this and this was his special skill. He used to hate doing feminine things or having to play wife type roles but now he enjoyed it, he enjoyed it a lot and he loved camping it up with his friends. And a ladybug-guy like him couldn't have asked for better friends, after all Heimlich was a professional food vlogger and the three of them in general were part of a comedy website, a lot of the skits were in the style of classic SNL and had the trio in numerous different roles, many of Francis's roles being female which he didn't mind. And who wouldn't enjoy making people laugh? In dark times like this everyone needs a laugh.

And thus here comes the lesson that comes with the story, laughter is always the best medicine. You don't need to be a doctor to know that though, since it's common knowledge that laughter is indeed the best medicine, and in dark times like these...everyone could use with a bit of laughter. So my message to you all is...smile, though your heart is aching, smile even though it's breaking, when there are clouds in the sky, you will get by. If you smile through your fear and sorrow, smile and maybe tommorow things will get better, you will find that life is still worthwhile if you just light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness. Although tears may be ever so near, that is the time in which you must keep trying, there is no use in crying. You will find if you just smile, life is still worthwhile.

Remember, smile though your heart is aching and even though it is breaking, smile through your fear and sorrow and maybe tommorow things will brighten up. Don't worry be happy, don't let the sad things in life weigh you down, remember to always think positive and think pink, pink is good, but also red and black too, pink is very happy...think pink thoughts.
