Okay but to take a brief break from me only talking about Peet in the Wingfeather Saga show, I really love how they’re foreshadowing things about the kids and showing us key aspects of their personalities in little moments scattered throughout the show. (spoilers if you haven’t seen ssn. 1 episode 5)

Tink is smart and brave but impulsive. He thinks he has a better strategy in the zibzy game and while he does score he overlooks details and ends up costing his team the game- and Sara’s ball. He wants to join the Florid Sword and explore Anklejelly because he thinks it will be fun, but when he gets there and finds out it’s creepy and dangerous instead he wants to go home. He runs into Peet’s treehouse and immediately starts going through the man’s personal things which ends up causing Peet to have one of his fits. He bravely rushes into the jail to rescue Nia and Podo, because he’s right, if they wanted to escape they needed to do it now, they couldn’t wait- but he never once thinks it could be a trap and his impulsivity gets he and his siblings captured, though the dagger he stole from Anklejelly helps them escape. He won’t listen to Janner and take his brother’s advice because he thinks he knows better.

Janner has the planning and detail-oriented mind that Tink lacks but he thinks he knows better and doesn’t try to see his brother’s point of view or work with him- he only tries to stop him, even when Tink’s ideas have merit. He resents having to look after Tink and Leeli all the time- he doesn’t want to be “stuck” with them all Dragon Day, he told Nia and Podo that when Tink went into the jail he “had to follow him” with frustration and resentment in his voice. He’s thoughtful and his knowledge of the forest creatures helps protect him and his siblings when they go to Anklejelly (the squeeblin, knowing that fire attracts the hounds, etc). He has good instincts but doesn’t know how to use them yet. He’s angry that his mother and grandfather have kept secrets from him all his life. He’s not usually impulsive but he’s quick-thinking even in a crisis (locking him and his siblings in the weapon chamber to hide from the hounds, killing Gnorm).

Leeli is kind and compassionate. She’s the softer side of the boys, the quiet, gentle one who reaches out. She sees and understands a lot more than adults realize and she’s intuitive (figuring out Podo and Buzzard Willie’s friendship, understanding Peet and that he’s good even though he’s strange). We haven’t gotten quite as much with Leeli yet, but there’s more to her than this, good things and flaws, but what they’re showing us with her is still very important, I think.

Sara is a leader (she easily and confidently takes charge in zibzy, despite never having been a captain before), and she’s also kind and understanding (she chooses Leeli to be on her team even though Leeli isn’t good because Sara knows how to use Leeli’s strengths. She’s endeared by Janner’s attempts at romance). She notices people and she believes in them and tries hard to find light in the world (she saw the flower on the cliff and thought it was beautiful, she wanted to share it with her friend).

So yeah, this is just all stuff that’s going to be really important later and I think it’s really cool how they’re showing it to us. I’m especially noticing a lot of foreshadowing with Tink and Janner, which makes sense because theirs is the key relationship of the books, and it starts coming into play very quickly in book 2. I also loved what they showed us of Sara even though she wasn’t in the story till book 2 originally. Leeli’s character doesn’t get fully fleshed out till book 4 so I’m guessing that’s why there’s less going on with her.

i���m really sorry about peachy🧡i had a cat that went missing a couple years ago and i still think about him all the time and miss him

okay i typed a lot sory

i still have a picture of him on the wall and i have over a thousand pics and videos on my phone and i hope i can look through them again someday but even thinking about him for a few seconds makes me cry. he was my little baby and after i stopped seeing him i kept having dreams about him coming out of the snow and walking up to me and laying in my arms. i like to tell myself that that was a little goodbye from him but i wish i had more time with him anyway. i wish i could have brought him home. i just hope he knew i loved him and i hope it mattered.

i had a bandaid on my face right next to my mouth but i just cried so much it got too wet and fell off and the scab under it also came off because of the tears so now i am bleeding again and there is salt in the wound (bc of the tears) so i think the torment might be endless but i’m still glad i got to make a kitty’s life a little easier for a few months. its been longer since he disappeared than the entire time i was with him now. i know i’m setting myself up to get my heart broken again by feeding new cats but i cant just ignore them. they were always with him so they were friends i think. and i dont think he would have been bitter or jealous because he was the sweetest boy in the world. i was really sad that i didnt get to see him on my birthday like i did last year. i just loved him a lot and thats all i could have done i guess and it mattered for a little while but i will probably miss him for the rest of my life. which i guess is the price to pay for loving him but i would still do it again even if my heart is broken he was worth it a million times and then some. i need to blow my nose now

my baby boy i will always love him🧡

✨🎥! Oh yes, please do talk about garments and shoes non stop!

My mother was a fashion professor (as in taught young adults how to make clothes from scratch, starting with the pattern and finishing with the final piece) and used to sew a lot so I do have pieces that she handmaded and also a couple of sewing machines at home. In fact, there a full manual sewing machine at my grandma’s that my mother used when she was studying. She passed quite a long time ago but I do remember that as a child she taught me how to hand sew a button. I literally have a drawer full of them, and a bazillion types of threads. In t-shirts/shirts whenever a hole appeared, she would cover it with something embroidered like any sort of figure that would go well to keep using that

Also, where I live there’s a “school” where they teach amateurs how to sew. They literally have a “Make a [insert piece of clothing] in a day” and they’re quite nice. A lot of people keep going back to them to make more so they have a different one every month or so

But yeah, composition of the garment is one of the things that’s says a lot about them. Again, another thing that my mother instilled in me was to go for natural fibres and treat them right. Learning how to read the label of the caring instructions also helps. I try to avoid anything that requires to be hand washed because I’m allergic to an ingredient that is present in pretty much every detergent, so that becomes a hassle for me, but generally I wash either cold or 30ºC max

Shoes are another thing. Some have the worst quality and break so easily without any option to repair them. Like I remember going to the shoemaker to repair the soles or the heels, but with most of the shoes made now, they’re so shitty that it’s not even worth it. And sadly, I have one of the most common shoe sizes for women, but with slightly slimmer feet so if I’m looking for heels, I need to go for something that has support on the ankle or size down, otherwise the heels would fall of my feet 🥲 And that extents to clothes as well. Sizing is so fucking inconsistence, specially for women. There’s items in one store made by the same manufacturer that differ SO MUCH… I hate it because, again, even though I am considered slim, my hips are wider and my waist a bit tinier so things that should fit on my waist do not go up my ass. And my chest is small as well so fitting all 3 is… a nightmare. I always question that if I can’t find things that fit me properly even though I’m considered to be “in the standard”, what about those bodies that are not? GOD, everyday I lose faith in the fashion industry

PD: LOL at the “adulthood is meeting your friends every few months anyways”, literally all of my friends live in different cities now, so we plan in advance when we get to see each other. Sometimes with 2-months notices, especially if that entails to reunite the whole gang and not just the core (10 vs 3)

hahaha so you really did already know everything i said! but that's ok, hopefully it still was some help somewhere.

trying to buy clothes really has been getting more and more difficult because you're absolutely right; the 'standard' body type that fast fashion is made for doesn't actually exist. pretty fucking depressing that a whole industry exists the make you feel unhappy and unsatisfied with how you look so you keep buying more things, but also there are so many of those industries also and capitalism ruins everything i hate it here. shoes are an intertwined problem too bc shoes that are shoddily made of synthetic materials are so bad in every way. even ones that are well made of synthetic materials are STILL bad imo. shoddy craftsmanship is a human constant but at least with natural materials some of that can either be repaired or recycled into something else, but synthetic materials? good fucking luck. i really do recommend to everyone that if it's possible they should get one good staple leather shoe that they learn how to take care of bc it will fit your foot better than any synthetic material and will last longer. there is a REASON that shoes have been made of leather literally for most of time; it's a vastly superior material in terms of physical properties than anything else for what shoes have to do as a functional objects. but the never ceasing cycle of capitalism has made it impossible to actually find something 'trendy' (or even just nice looking) and good quality AND at a good price. i really do hate it here.

I've been enjoying this post and it reminded me of my fruit trees! I have planted pears, peaches, cherries (sweet and sour both), blackberries, blueberries, apples, kiwis, strawberries...

It all began with one peach tree bought from a hardware store on a random whim (it died). Next thing you know, I am pruning to an open-center plan, shopping for disease resistant varieties and good pollinators from quality nurseries, installing bees (a whole blog by itself), and watching in intense satisfaction as my home becomes a mini orchard.

Do you know how many peaches a mature peach tree produces? 2-4 bushels each depending on the year. Apples may be twice that much. How big is a bushel you ask? It's 4 pecks (the occult knowledge is fantastic!). Bushel:

Cherry Bushes? We have 3 and just got about 10 gallons of cherries. 3 pies, jams for days, giving away a couple of gallons today and there's more on the little buggers (/affectionate).

Will I ever make a profit on these? Who cares? The upfront costs are minimal, but there's no way to pay for the labor other than love and the satisfaction of a beautiful, organic fresh peach for breakfast or a PB&J made with your own J. We give away to the neighbors, church folks, friends and family. We get sick of the best fruit pies you have ever tasted. We are overstocked in jams and jellies and make interesting new flavors (like peach + cherry w/ a bit of cinnamon). Neighborhood kids have been known to 'steal' the occasional fresh fruit off the trees near the edge of the property. Help yourselves dears.

And I have a hobby! I imagine this will give me something to putter around doing in my old age, something to chatter about with like-minded individuals and maybe even something to pass on to children (whether my own or the neighborhood kids). In fact, it pleases me to imagine some of those neighborhood kids 'stealing' off my trees will grow up with fond memories of picking fresh fruit and choose to plant their own orchard someday.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."
