Someone tell me why this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

[ravenclawswedishshortsnout]

“What are your hobbies?”

my books:

“awh misha is so adorable and cute!!” 

“misha what are you doing- mISHA STAHP” 

“HE LOOKS SO GOOD, HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!”

So its this time of year again, when everything is about the pumpkins. But they only get to sit on the front porch all week, so this year before taking its honorary place it got to have some fun :)

My pumpkin wanted to play in the ball pit with all the rubber ducks it could find so that’s what it got to do :) I counted to 12 in one picture and 15 in the other, and in total there were 18 swimming ducks, can you find them all?

Season 15 Giveaway!

Hey everyone! 

With the start of Season 15, and the release of the Season 15 pin/charm by Stands, I figured now is a great time for a new giveaway. 

Giveaway Guidelines

Giveaway will run from now through Saturday 10/19/19 @ 12PM CST

Likes/reblogs will be counted as *one entry each for a maximum of two entries* – if you are reblogging to signal boost and NOT entering, please tag your post so I know not to count you in the drawing.

You do NOT need to be following me in order to enter – I understand that a lot of people have reasons for not following others, and I’m not going to force you to follow me to receive kindness in the form of merch

You must feel comfortable giving me your name and your shipping address. I promise that I do not keep that information, and I do not use your information for any purpose other than shipping the package. If you have any concerns, please let me know. I have done a few giveaways before and I think any of the previous winners would vouch for me.

Entries are open Internationally!

10 winners will be drawn via random number generator. First five winners will get the choice of a Season 15 pin or a charm (see above photos), and the second five winners will get the remaining five pieces. I will also be throwing in some fanart in the form of postcards or prints that I’ve purchased from some of my favorite fandom artists!

Thanks for participating, and Happy Season 15 everyone!

Keep reading

I have taken to comment with html hearts (♡ ♥) in my comments, because I most often just wants to show that I like the story/chapter and don’t actually have anything to say :)

I hear a lot of people bitching that they can’t leave kudos multiple times per story, or can’t leave kudos on every chapter, or whatever.

Well, take a page out of this marvelous book, because I swear I’ve never been so happy to receive kudos as waking up to multiple people having done this on multiple chapters on a story I just posted.

The bar just got raised, folks.

I carved a pumpkin today! This years design is a raven sitting at the edge of a bubbling cauldron with bubbles above (as can be seen on the drawing). This was in part because I wanted to and also as a part of the #GISHYourGourd challenge. Sadly it was destroyed by birds in less then two hours and the electric lights stolen :(

Its starting to be a tradition:

Last year: https://ravenclawswedishshortsnout.tumblr.com/post/166945963459/this-years-pumpkin-is-carved-a-real-nightmare

Then I'll look through that tag :) (and the rest when an update shows up :p)

I just noticed that I haven't been tagged in a Writing Update since September 1st and wonder if I just haven't got any notice from tumbr, fallen off the tag-list or if there have been no updates? It is basically the only time I'm on tumblr and I really like reading your stories so it's a great way to see what I missed and read through them in one swoop :) (Much harder to go back and read them now...)

I probably haven’t posted one since then - I started work around then and my writing dropped off severely, so not much has been posted :/ I do have a writing update in my drafts that I’ll post once there’s enough collected to make it worthwhile posting.

In the mean time, most of my recent writing is in the tag #micro fic

my favorite misha responses to that buzzfeed interview

Another Gish wraps up. This year I tackled building a pillar of rocks reaching eye-height in the backyard (dropping the rocks on my feet during the first attempt when they didn't want to balance any longer), dancing around in Stadsparken in Lund  to ABBAs Dancing Queen (https://youtu.be/rnnNZAb7SxY) and remodeling the toilet with mosaic (twice) :P

I have also helped in charities, both the Peace Tea and the Change a life (Rwanda genocide survivors).

Another crazy and amazing week have gone by and I have memories and new friends to show for it :)

Emergency cleaning: Unfuck your whole house in the shortest time possible

So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.

Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.

Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.

Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.

Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.

Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.

Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.

Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.

Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!

Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.

Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.

Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.

Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.

Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.

If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.

Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.

It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.

Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.

You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.

Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.

Me: i love books! I love them so much! I am such a bookworm!

Friend: cool! How many did you read this year?

Me: OK, so here’s the thing

Don’t invite me anywhere last minute I enjoy doing nothing so I need to know ahead of time if my plan to do nothing needs to be changed
