Despite the (planted-by-human-hands) patch on the far end of campus being so loaded with pawpaws the branches are bending under the weight, I searched the forest high and low this morning for pawpaws and found only a single tree that has produced a single cluster of three fruits (which i left, because honorable harvest yknow, and you do NOT wanna be rude to the pawpaw grove)
Very sad but also I understand because the pawpaw trees are clearly so stressed for moisture. There were many pawpaw trees where the leaves were turning yellow and falling off. It has been a miserably dry summer and we also had a late hard frost that would have been perfectly timed to kill pawpaw blooms. :(
Poor trees, I hope next year is kinder to them!

thinking about academic rivals to lovers boat boys but its just. you know. etho being really smart and joel being all like "get a loadda this guy."
to the point where they're genuinely obsessed with eachother (under the guise of rivalry) to the point that their mutual friends are like "guh we should get them together or smth... or. mess with them >:3"
so their mutual friends (namely bdubs, impulse, pearl, grian, etc.) begin to do dumb things like leaving faux mocking love letters in Joel and Ethos's lockers' under the other's name, writing their names in eachother's notebooks surrounded by hearts, teasingly mentioning "oh, Etho/Joel has been talking about you" and things of the like
genuinely drives Etho and Joel crazy but they're also like "ohmygod hes been. talking about me—"

BGM for this scene
To think that the drawing I post on the day of fools is the most depressing chapter in the entire story. Can’t wait to post the first update in a week!
Drawing this hurt. Oouuughh. This hurt a lot.

[ID: a three color drawing (black, white, and teal) in the style of Seth’s illustrations from the Lemony Snicket series All The Wrong Questions. Five and Viktor (both about 13) are seated at the counter of a diner, talking. Luther (in his 20s), who is a patron seated next to them, looks concerned about what he is overhearing. Grace stands behind the counted holding a coffee pot and gazing into space. A missing poster for Ben is taped to the counter. In the mirror behind the counter, a reflection Diego and Patch (both 15) are visible in a booth. End ID]
i really should leave time between art posts for them to breathe and accumulate their fair share of notes, but also i need something to do while im waiting for my onions to caramelize.
In this installment: Five and Viktor meet over breakfast to discuss business, Luther is a Concerned Citizen, Diego and Patch also meet over breakfast to discuss business but in the background, and Grace is NOT a robot and this diner is NOT fully automated no sir. Also as usual Ben's face provides some ambiance, thank you Ben.

FNaF AU where Evan survives the bite but has a permanent sight impairment and CPS takes all the Afton kids away and also Charlie because they found out both Henry and William are horrifically negligent and the diner gets put out of business forever and the four children are adopted into a happy loving family and are freaked out by actually being cared for at first but then start healing.

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

maybe i'm just slow but in case anyone else was wondering why Cirrus got so upset abt his dad and stepmom doing it in his room....it happened when Cirrus was visiting his mother's grave...on her death anniversay....
his dad was screwing his 5th wife in his son's bed instead of mourning the death of the mother of his only child along with his son.

Character A and character B being in a large manor or castle or whatever for a party or other event. B is really desperate and A finally decided to drag them off to find a toilet.
But door after door and all they can find are guestrooms and closests so finally they decide to shove B into one of the guestrooms and have them go in a drawer of clothes or bunched up blankets. They then flee the party as quickly as they can before anyone can find out
