#Keith’s daughter being the biggest Charlie fangirl/appreciator ever (on the internet and off) #is not at all surprising #but I still love it so much #she was chasing people who had Charlie tributes at the shows this summer down #and asking to take pictures of them #because ‘that’s my uncle’ #nothing truer than a Richards’ love for a Watts #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #instagram #instagram comment #theodora richards #shirley watts

I don’t believe in a god but I do believe In people.

People who hurt but still care so much.

People who are scared but still fight for what they believe in.

People who burn so bright and don’t let others put them out.

People who have lost so much but still love so freely.

People who will stand up against power even if it means danger.

People who fight even if it’s not their battle.

People who appreciate everything no matter how small.

People who see beauty in everything and share it for the world to see.

I don’t believe in a god but I do believe in people and for me that’s enough.

I’m really enjoying The Blazing Trail, and can’t wait for the next update! Do you know when it’ll be updated? No rush, just my mind coming up with millions of theories about it. Also, one last thing, do you have plans for Blackpaw to eventually confront Tigerclaw? Thanks, have a nice day/evening!

i'm literally fighting for my life rn-- that demon called Writer's Block has me in a choke-hold. i want to get out the next chapter as much as i'm sure you want to read it, but i've been in a rut thinking everything i put to paper is absolute garbage right now. that and i've also been looking over the older chapters (especially the prologue) and gritting my teeth because i want to rewrite them. i'm resisting temptation.... for now.

that said, i really, really hope to get out a chapter out to you guys this weekend or next. i'm off work for three days and hopefully i can spend some time writing and polishing off this chapter.

that said, i am more than happy to hear some of your theories! even if your theories aren't the direction i want to go in, talking about my fic always makes me want to write more of it! i mostly talk about this fic with my friends, and they know pretty much the whole storyline. so i'm curious about how my fic reads to an outsider's perspective!!

finally, blackpaw will eventually confront tigerclaw. it's funny, that's actually the first scene i wrote for this AU! i have to revise it a little now to match the plot lines and characterizations i have now, but yeah, i hope the confrontation will be satisfying to blackpaw (and to the readers!)

#Coqui Sings #thank you so much for this ask!! #i'd been wondering if people were forgetting this au since i've been struggling so much with updating it #but i still love it so much

I moved to my grandparents town last year and I decided to help out in this quite big garden belonging to my grandpa (it's better than going to the gym, mind you). I started with basics (watering, cleaning, planting seeds, caring for the nursery), we mainly grow vegetables for us to eat, but I would like to put of lots of other plants & flowers in there. I would lie if I told you "As Green as the Ragged Grass" did not GREATLY inspire me! I also make sure to properly oil all my tools.

Ooooo, that garden space sounds amazing! And yeah gardening is incredible honestly for exercise, especially because there's often such a variety of movement needed. Want to work on your quads, calves, hammies and squat ability? Weeding! Want to work on your arms? Handsawing! Want to work out your stomach - sit out there and eat a pizza!

It sounds like it's going to be awesome! You might want to look into permaculture re: pollinators that help keep certain pests away. They don't truly keep the pests away, but some of those flowering plants can be really helpful. And rosemary and lavender attract ever so many bees. :D

And yes, tool maintenance is good, probably best to just look up on Youtube what the best is for every individual tool. I'm actually pretty lazy and just make sure I clean them so they're not at least rusting from plant juices (the fastest way to lose a good pair of secateurs).

I'm so happy though, make sure you take care of your body as well as that garden, and I hope you get to enjoy the dividends! It sounds like you've been working hard, and that there's a lot to do as well, but it can be so great. (Augus would be so happy to know he's inspired someone to garden as well <3333)

#asks and answers #fae tales au #fae tales love #as green as the ragged grass #augus each uisge #omg that sounds pretty cool honestly #it can be so rewarding #i don't have much that's edible in my garden #because i gardened mostly with getting native plant diversity back into this little area #but i still love it so much

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.

well.

today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)

jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.

and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.

this is a children's game for children btw.

none of the money is real.

i'm having such a good time.

#i paused in opening my bags to write this bc the site's getting so much traffic that it's taking 3 minutes to refresh one page #i've pulled a paint brush a stamp that used to be worth 2 mil (it's not now) and another stamp that's always been cheap. #i have 4 more bags to open still. #i Love It Here. #neopets

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow! #but then shes gone…. for a while…… #and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not. #snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

#simon says #i love learning so much and I hate the USA's college debt system #once they make that shit free I will be unstoppable #this topic sprung up because I had the idea that im very academic and annoyingly analytical that I might as well get a degree in it #because without a degree you just seem like an autistic asshole #but with a degree? then you look like a CREDIBLE autistic asshole #don't worry I will still learn but I still want that funky piece of paper to tell everyone I learnt it #also there's some things that are VERY difficult to learn #like I would love to persue this topic further but unfortunately I would need help with that #also before you say 'try taking [blank] classes instead! it's less expensive than a degree!' im broke #my only learning resource is the library sorry about that #also this is not the post to give me unwarranted financial advice #finances are one of the topics I DO NOT care about and I WILL NOT listen to a word you say
