I would like to introduce my snails to the world of tumblr so their legacy will not be lost in the dust of time.
Sock
Sock was the first snail that came into my life! They are the friendliest and most active, constantly climbing over all the other snails and zooming around the tank. I identify them by the darker colour of their shell and the thick section that has no stripes/growth lines! Top artist on Spotify is Poppy.
Henrietta
This is Henrietta! Saved first from the side of a bucket and then our trash can shortly after, Henrietta has had a hard tumultuous life indicated by the large amount of growth lines and tendency to retreat quickly into her shell. They are the largest of my snails and also the hungriest! They love carrots and celery the most Their top artist on Spotify is Grandson.
Duo
Duo, my fastest snail, got their name from the distinct double stripes on their shell. They love exploring their surroundings and are almost actively climbing around their terrarium. (The stripes make them go faster) When they are asleep, it’s typically on the lid of the terrarium or on the walls. Their top artist on Spotify is Yung Gravy!
Marigold
With their distinctive yellow marking, Marigold is the most chill of my snails, often hanging out outside of her shell without moving around much. They’re often found hanging out around the food bowl despite not typically eating much compared to the other snails. Their top artist is Girl in Red!
Catherine the Great
The shyest and least active of my snails. Likely the oldest as well. Typically hangs out inside their shell, only coming out every couple days for a snack before heading back into their shell. Holds rage in their heart and hides to avoid facing the realities of our quickly dying planet and exploitation of the working class. Their favourite artist is Sofia Isella.
Pandora
The chosen one. Hatched before I had the chance to perform snail-bortion, escaping death by a hair. Though the great embrace of death will eventually take us all without mercy, Pandora seeks to make the most of their time here and spends each day training to be the best snail they can possibly be. The child of Marigold, Duo, or Cathrine the Great. Pandora’s favourite artist is Naethan Apollo!
The Home 💖
This is the home of my snails! Typically it also has a humidifier but I’m currently house sitting so we’re doing it manually through my trusty spray bottle!
Snail info 💖🐌
These snails have all come into my possession from work! They hide away on the shipments of our florals and I take them home from there. They cannot be released into the wild as they are not native to my area and would not survive in my climate. Additionally, if they were to survive, they would be considered invasive and have an extremely detrimental impact to the local ecosystem. The best option for them at the moment is captivity.
I make sure they have the best life possible by feeding them fresh produce such as lettuce, carrots, celery, avocado, apples, peppers, etc. They also get calcium supplements through crushed eggshells and cuttlefish bone!
The information on ground snails as pets is fairly minimal so much of what I do is on instinct and based on information known about water snails.
I love my snails so much 💖 send me an ask if you have questions/comments about them and I’d be happy to answer!
My grandson drew his favorite scary pasta character! I don’t know what scary pastas is but he likes it! He says his name is ticky Toby. I think he looks a little odd but he makes my grandson happy so I like him! I’m going to put this on my wall and surprise my grandson next time he comes over. He said he’ll draw another spooky pasta called slander man? I don’t know who that is but my grandson says he wears a suit and I love men in suits🤭👵
Sirius had never wanted kids of his own. It was always too much, the idea of perpetuating the Blacks, even after he’d run away and been disowned. He didn’t have any regrets. The one exception, of course, was Harry. He’d always felt Harry belonged to him in some way, even before they lost James and Lily.
He knew there was some part of Remus that had wanted kids. But he’d never pushed, never even asked. But watching him now, with their grandson, made Sirius wonder about what could have been.
If things had been different, would he have been a good father? Or just the cool uncle who took Harry out for rides on his motorbike? He didn’t question whether Remus would have been a good parent. He knew the answer.
Little James looked up from the book Remus was reading to him and reached out to Sirius, smiling his two toothed baby smile. He joined them on the sofa. James leaned into him, pointing at the pictures and babbling.
Remus caught his eye, grinning as he finished the book.
Please share it/rb it. I posted these pics on Instagram at @/Nova__artt. Please I beg you to share it here and over there, Theres love put into this and I need for TD and granny to see it. Please.
For the outline I traced a piece by the very talented Manda on Twitter (I suck at proportions and clothes…) but everything else is all mine! Very proud of this! There really isn’t enough Lonnie fanart out there smh.
♦ Zaszalałam ostatnio i wydałam miliony monet na dekoracje jesienne, bo stwierdziłam, że będę dekorować salon pod pory roku. Mam teraz więcej dekoracji na jesień niż świątecznych xD A nawet jeszcze nie ma jesieni. I chuj, jest pięknie!
♦ W końcu, po wielu latach rozmarzania o tym, jadę na koncert grandson! Jaram się niesamowicie. Boże, ale tam będzie rozpierdol. Mało tego, marzyłam też o zobaczeniu spektaklu Stowarzyszenie umarłych poetów w Och-Teatrze, a że do Warszawki mam kawałek, a nie będę przecież na jeden spektakl jechać to moje plany pozostawały jedynie w sferze fantazji. Do teraz :D Idealnie grają jeden dzień po koncercie. Szykuje się zajebisty city break pod koniec września. ❤️
