20+ | She/her | USA | Hi, I like crafting and roleplay. I'm not good at intros. | 18+ content is to be expected, minors DNA because of this reason.

I’m Back!

Feeling mad cabin fever due to crap and stuff so I guess I'm dusting this off. Might delete my old reblogs to really start afresh and crap.

Follow me if you like:

  • Knitting, Crochet, and other crafts
  • Writing, both personal writing and roleplay
  • Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 2, and other MMOs or weird niche multiplayer games
  • Persona, Elder Scrolls, and other RPGs both east and west
  • and other random crap??? I have a lot of weird niche interests so-

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!

Everyone has heard tales of the Southern Cassowary. With long, gut-wrenching claws and an aggressive and territorial demeanor, the Cassowary is a very scary bird. However, their diet mainly consists of fallen fruit, and there actually are only two reported human deaths caused by cassowaries (one of these humans was trying to beat it to death with a stick). They also mainly attack or charge because of expecting food from humans after being fed by them for a while. Learn More!

Don’t be fooled by the American Robin, these guys are also little hunters. They don’t eat many fruits or berries, only eating them when necessary. Instead, they stalk and pounce on their prefered prey: earthworms. The common Robin behavior of running along the ground, stopping, and stretching out its head is the Robin hunting it’s next catch. They stop, look, and maybe even listen. They are mainly sight based predators, looking for movement of the earthworms. They are also possibly listening too, tilting their head to hear better. Learn More!

I'm voting Cassowary, just in case there are any of them on Tumblr. I don't want my spleen kicked out through my spine, thanks.

How could you.

i mean this completely seriously but… a cup of coffee can save your life a little, a shower can save your life a little, making your favorite meal can save your life a little…….little things actually add up to really big things in the long run if you let them, the secret to surviving everyday is infusing a little bit of magic into the mundane i truly believe that

My one problem with Star Trek is that no one is ever consuming contemporary media. As in media that's contemporary for their time period. Everyone is always reading old novels and practicing classical music. They study Klingon Opera or read old Cardassian mysteries. No one is ever like really into obscure Klingon Nightcore. Nobody is reading shitty Ferengi pulp novels. There's no kids media of any kind. Where is space Sesame Street or junior novels about gaining superpowers from a warp core accident? What about comic books? Nobody is playing crappy indy holodeck games. It's always some recreation of a historical battle or just lounging in a mud pit at some alien spa. Someone give me angsty Bajoran protest music. I need some rebellious teens producing the worst most cacophonous death metal techno that they recorded in an empty cargo bay. I need contemporary pop culture in Star Trek.

Rejection-sensitive or not, you have to accept when people say “no” and realize that people’s “no” is not about you. A boundary is never about you, it’s about that person’s sense of security. Do not make people’s personal limits a matter of targeted offence.

VIBE CHECK *cups your face and kisses you till you're breathless*

[ID A two pannel comic. The first pannel shows two people, one standing in neutral while the other is running towards them with their arms outstretched, a speech bubble with the words “vibe check!!” in all caps pointing towards them. The second pannel shows the person who was running squishing the face of the person in neutral and giving them a kiss. There is a pink heart floating above them. End ID]

And are you sure those beautiful women aren’t whisking you away to the vet?

[Colored text transcript: The green text says "whisk me to safety," and the red text says "to the vet." End transcript]

More fairytale and fairytale derivative properties tweets

[ID: a twitter thread from @.aMadCartoonist. it reads: The Beast: Who are you? Beauty's brother: I'm one of Beauty's brothers. We're, like, the least consistent characters in this story. TB: Can you break my curse? BB: Nah, I don't have the narrative significance for that. TB: oh BB: I am also a monster fucker, though. TB: Oh.

My pitch: The Gigantic Mermaid. It's the same basic story except she's seventy five feet tall. I'm aware that this story probably exists somewhere on the internet. Prince Guy: There's something familiar about that girl. Where could I have seen her before? Butler: AAAAAAAAAH An Enormous Monster Heaven Help Us All Prince Guy: No, that's not it.

The ambivalent witch of the northeast. the maliciously ambivalent witch of the southeast. Wicked Witch: Okay, so turning the prince into a beast I get, but why did you curse the rest of the castle? Enchantress: His entire household staff had furniture pun names! I couldn't help myself! It's Like They Were Asking For It.

Signed Storytime: Jack tried to find work but everyone said he was too stupid. me: That seems harsh. giant's wife: My husband loves to eat people. You better hide in this big cooking pot. Jack: Can do! me: oh

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe because Jack killing that giant really changed the nature of local real estate

Cinderella: Magic is real? Fuck going to the ball, I wanna learn magic!

Flora: I grant Aurora the gift of beauty. Fauna: I grant Aurora the gift of song. Merryweather: I grant Aurora the gift of heat vision. Maleficient: Well, well, well. What have we here? It seems my invitation w- Merryweather: Aurora! Now! Aurora: BZZZZORT

Beauty's dad: Please don't kill me! I have anywhere between 1-5 adult children to support! The Beast: Are any of them monster fuckers? Beauty's dad: At least one of them is. The Beast: Score.

Fairy Godmother: -and midnight all of my magic except the shoes will be undone. Cinderella: Why not the shoes? FG: I actually went to college to be a shoe making elf but then I realized that most of my credits transfer and fairy godmothers have a way higher starting salary. C: oh /end thread]

i don’t think there’s anything funnier than saying “god forbid women do anything” in response to women doing the most objectively horrifying actions possible.

i see a convo w a character ai and i keep scrolling

listen im seeing tags about people agreeing that ai bots can be really inaccurate and i want to point out that this is NOT about that. the ai bot can be as accurate as you want it to be i still get mad at em.

its not about how good they do at emulating a character, its about that they aren’t a person making creative choices and i hate that. i want to enjoy my characters with other people. hold my hand and tell me all about why you think your blorbo is autistic or likes your favourite shitty band. i love you. if a bot randomly shuffles those opinions out idc if theyre even the same ones im exploding it with my mind.

What’s the point of loving content if I know there isn’t someone as obsessively fucked up as me sitting on the other side of the internet

Important skill for writing is to know when to shut the fuck up and leave some narrative negative space for the readers mind to explore. This is why any professional media about the backrooms sucks, and why the backrooms wiki --a gestalt of unedited collaborations from earnest 13 year olds that only raises more questions than it answers-- fucking rules.
