how do you find stuff in your creek?

Hi Anon!

I just walk around and keep my eyes peeled for neat stuff! It's a pretty big creek and there are lots of large gravel bars all along it.

This creek runs across the back edge of my property and my neighbor beside me is very nice and she's fine with me exploring over on her part too so I've got about half a mile of creek I can hike around.

It usually floods pretty frequently (not uncommon for it to get up high enough where water would be over top of the Jeep in the above photo) so that always shifts the gravel bars around and uncovers new stuff to find. Here's a few in situ finds so you can see what they look like when I find them—some old tumbled bits of glass and pottery, a cow tooth, and a deer cannon bone.

I'll sift around in the gravel sometimes if I find one spot with a lot of stuff but usually I just pick up what I find on the surface.

You never know what will turn up down there! Tumbled glass and pottery, animal bones, fossils, tools, toys, farm stuff, fishing gear, found a big owl decoy one time, and I picked up a nice baseball bat the other day—just all sorts of random odds and ends wash in!

This little partial porcelain skull is still one of my all time favorite finds.

Sorry for the long post but I adore this creek and am always glad for a chance to ramble about it haha. Thanks for the message, Anon! <3

“Cucurucho give me my enderchest!! You stupid- fluffy monster!! I’m gonna flipping kill you, you took away my memories! You took away the one thing that I had to remember all the eggs who are gone! This is it Cucurucho, this is your final sayonara, you’re going. rip rip potato chip. I will literally sign onto the code thing’s army, it took my son’s (life) from me but you took away my memories- You know what? No! Forget that! I HATE YOU BOTH!

I’m making it my mission. Cucurucho, the code entity, you’re both dead. I’ll take both of you out, I’ll kill both of you. This is how I solve my problems! I solve my problems with death- cause I’m the flipping grim reaper-!”

I just had to transcript q!Bad’s huge rant at the end of stream it was so funny and also pretty darn good to contextualize his character more

It might seem stupid since I know I have a pretty normative body which I always try to show in a flattering way, but nobody's perfect and everybody has their own insecurities.

You see those love handles? Those drive me nuts. I love most of my body (I wouldn't mind some more body hair, or stronger legs), but I really loathe those.

But here I am, trying to be real, to accept all parts of me, whether I get to change them or not.
