Hey there, Sen! I was wondering, what’s the name of the cologne Draco is wearing in your work “Manacled”. I imagine it might be Bvlgari Soir or is it something else? Sorry, if you’ve already answered this in the past. Thank you!

So, this is the cologne that my beta had in mind when we were discussing what Draco should smell like in Manacled. Private Label by Jovoy. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jovoy-Paris/Private-Label-13460.html

However, the selection for notes that Hermione noticed were ultimately selected based on their literary function, and Private Label doesn’t actually have cedar or oak moss in it. 

So, technically, this cologne is closer since it includes cedar, oak moss, and papyrus. Monsieur by Pierre Guillaume. Funnily enough, according the reviews, it smells a lot like Private Label. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Pierre-Guillaume-Paris/Monsieur-20633.html

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY:

  • wait until it gets dark and make tea or coffee or hot chocolate, or if it’s too hot outside make yourself a healthy smoothie with your favorite things in it at any point during the day
  • put on your favorite underwear, it helps, trust me, it’s an old family secret (i’m not kidding)
  • if you have a pet, play the “how many things can i stick on you until you move or get mad” game (bonus points if they fall asleep, extra bonus points if a family member sees you and tells you to quit it, extra double ultra points if they join in)
  • rip a peice of paper into as many little pieces as you can
  • go to animeseason.com and click “random anime” until you see one that looks completely ridiculous (or actually good) and watch the first episode. repeat if it sucked or if you get bored halfway through
  • spend at least an hour making a music playlist for how you feel right now and save it for now or when you feel a bad mood rise again
  • curl up in bed and cover yourself with blankets and pillows and put in music and just lay there for a while (sleeping is also good)
  • eat everything
  • drink lots of water
  • it’s okay bad moods don’t last forever!!!!!! i promise!!! you will be yourself soon and there are people who love you very much, don’t be afraid to reach out to them
  • you are lovely
  • eat lots of bananas

here are some more friends

  • i bet there is still a box of crayons in your house somewhere (if not you can get them cheap during back-to-school sales); find them and use them (maybe while watching ridiculous anime)
  • sunshine if you can manage it or just a sun lamp trust me it matters more than you think especially in winter
  • hugs even if they are stuffed animals or your pet or your pillow whatever is on hand
  • if you’ve got a favorite lotion/soap/thing that is scented use it liberally
  • cry if you need, if it doesn’t start by itself or if you don’t want to attract attention put on a sad movie so you have an excuse
  • write this down to pull out on future bad days:
  • it is okay to have a day where you don’t get things done
  • it is okay not to have a reason for feeling bad
  • taking care of yourself is a worthwhile use of time
  • if you still don’t feel better it is not your fault (and it is okay to ask for help)

I needed this so fucking much rn

Hi, what do you think about Cancer and 11th house stellium ? (Mercury, Venus, Sun and Jupiter) 🤙

Avatar
I'd probably have to look this up with more detail, but right off the bat, that's an exalted Jupiter. You're probably really blessed with networking/ people actually show up to help you when you need them to.

With the sun being here you might have felt like socializing isn't your thing in your younger years but as you really step into your power you draw people to you with your gentle, caring nature. Sometimes if the Planets are too close to the sun(combust) it may be harder to express those energies. Venus and jupiter being placed together tell me that your spouse expresses(/would express ) love in a language you understand. This is if you identify as female.

Mercury and venus being placed along with the sun tells me that writing could be a core part of your identity and your written work could be a source of comfort /nourishment/ wisdom to the people reading it.

Mercury in cancer can get an intuitive handle on things, picking out subtle cues from what is unspoken. Venus in cancer just wants to be pampered, held and kept safe. You're attracted to people who feel like home. Smell could be an important factor in attraction since it's so closely linked to memory.

I feel like this 11th house cancer stellium could a great placement for a spiritual teacher. Having Sun /Mercury /Venus in the 11 th house shows that talking about your interests and sharing your wisdom with the world is what helps you find your people / tribe. The internet / other technology is a great way to do that.

Sundays X Raventons K Y L A We wanted to make a Christmas lot, but with a minimalist and “cold” vibe rather than warm and filled with clutter. We are super happy with it.  The build has two floors, one containing a laundry room, bathroom, hallway and big living area - and one with a dining room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen.  Please not that even if the CC (the island with a sink etc) is functional, the lot as a whole isn’t.  CC you need for this build: There is one pay set by @hel-studio, which is not necessary, but beyond beautiful so you should get it (for this lot, it means the small Christmas tree and the twig hanging from the ceiling).   Wondymoon: X X Novvvas: X X Heurrs: X X  Slox: Mxims: X X  Eniosta: X X This build and it’s special made cc, that you can find here, is early access and will be available to the public in three weeks. For now, you can find it here (sundays tier).  I hope you guys like it. @sundays-sims, thank you for all that you do. I adore working with you and you inspire me every day <3

Dinotopia is a fictional utopia created by author and illustrator James Gurney. It is the setting for the book series with which it shares its name. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurus who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. The first book has “appeared in 18 languages in more than 30 countries and sold two million copies.”Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath both won Hugo awards for best original artwork.

God these images still send this ENTIRE thrill through me. They just evoke that feeling of being a child with a book too large for you, staying for so long on a single picture that you feel like you could turn around in it.

Gurney consistently produces a world that feels completely reasonable and real. The color, the light, the relationships between fore- and background,

the fact that it seems like a real world, where people are engaging in perfectly reasonable cultural activities…

The natural gestures, implying the personalities and relationships of characters in a single image…

And it’s quite creative. I mean, look at this pair of bagel sellers. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SELL BAGELS?

I feel like there is so much to learn from the way Gurney does his work - his blog is here http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com

TikTok user @/nad watches a TikTok of someone making peppermint mocha Christmas cookies. They speak rapidly, gesticulating, and say:

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again! I am Muslim and I am brown and I do not celebrate Christmas, but I would give anything in the world to experience what it’s like to be a white person during Christmas. White people during Christmas are like artists during the Renaissance. Something happens internally, and y’all just become the most creative, most intelligent, most smart, amazing human beings. The way the- this- this- this- wow. Wow.

Ideologically, I don’t agree with white people, but they kind of went off with Christmas aesthetics.

seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.

Does Firefox not count for anything?

about 10% and falling, but perhaps that can change, I just don’t see how.

Chrome edging towards 70% on desktop, Microsoft has thrown in the towel, Safari obviously rules iOS, Firefox exists only as insurance for Chrome.

Please, please I’m begging you, use firefox.

PLEASE install firefox as a mobile browser and then run adblock on your mobile browser it’s so good I promise.

Look.

Look.

I know I’m a total grind about open source stuff but browsers are the PERFECT place to learn to love open source software and for so long FireFox was a major part of the browser market and sometimes if you want to see what kind of fuckery google is up to it helps to see the kinds of things they block in firefox and just

There’s an organization that makes free, excellent, safe software that doesn’t collect and market your data but for some reason two thirds of the world uses a google product and most of the leftover population uses apple and just

I promise, firefox is so good - the extensions are incredible look - I can use lightbeam to see what sites I use and how they connect to other sites (bottom right should give you an idea how much time I spend on tumblr)

or I can look at ublock origin and see that it’s blocked over 2 million requests since I installed it or I can run the facebook container extension and stop facebook from tracking me and you know what I bet you can do a lot of that on chrome too but you’re doing that while chrome itself is tracking you and gobbling up your activity for google and

firefox is so fuckin great and it’s such a great ambassador for other open source projects please be a big old fuckin nerd with me and use firefox and run a bunch of funky extensions and customize the fuck out of your web experience.

FIREFOX.

I just love firefox okay.

hey guys
