Take some antihistamine when you eat your throat-swelling shrimp and maybe have an epipen handy and you'll be fine ✨

[which-item-poll]

As long as it's cool with you, I think I might make a which item poll blog but I'm struggling with coming up with a name. Suggestions? I did come up with pick-one-poll but I'm not sure

Pick-an-item-poll

Which-item-poll (idc if you reuse this one)

Imaginary-shop-poll

Items-galore-poll

Window-shop-poll (or window-shopping-poll)

Buy-an-item-poll

Uhhh that's all I can think of atm ahdhsfsc

Some tips I can give you, though:

- Avoid burnout by only posting ONE poll a day, or get some mods that actually post alongside you (make sure you trust them)

- It's a lot more effort than it looks. With other poll blogs, you just pick a picture and add options. That's it. But with this one, you actively need to seek out items, take pictures or screenshots of it, copy & paste the item titles, add links if it's an indie shop, etc. Not trying to discourage you at all, but just be prepared! It's a big commitment!

- Lastly, post items YOU want to. No one is paying you to run the blog. You're doing this for YOUR enjoyment. Have fun with it.

If you do end up making this blog, let me know on my main account @nekopuff! I'd love to give it a follow :D ❤️❤️

Plus idk if this is tmi but James WON'T share at ALL.

And Remus is surprisingly the biggest flirt (subtly) with women. Sirius is a silent Casanova too.

Lily is also dating the most unexpected person LMAO

not tmi at all idc lmao, that's so real i feel like he's possessive (but obviously not in a weird way??) he's such a nice guy but i feel like he'd actually get pissed at people over his gf

HONESTLY? i kinda expected that?? like thinking of book/david thewlis' remus and not fanon remus i feel like that's SO in character for him. and sirius being a casanova is a given lolll if you don't mind me asking, who is lily dating😭she's my bsf in my dr and i need to know what to expect???

Idk if you’re active on here, but I just wanna say your art is amazing! I’m inspired to get more into art because of you.

I want to ask about prints! How do you usually run your shop? Do you have to calculate shipping prices and buy your own boxes? Or do you use something else like a print on demand deal?

AWWW OMG I'm deeply honoured I've inspired someone into getting into art more!!! :'3 It really means a lot to me to hear this!!!

So for prints I'm not the best person to ask since I bought an epson ecotank 8550 printer and make + cut almost all my prints entirely by myself. I buy semi-gloss/satin photo paper; brand doesn't really matter since they're all pretty good so I just find whatever's available and reasonably priced. Tho getting a photo printer is a pretty big investment people should only really make if you KNOW you're gonna use it and make that money back.

Most people I've known start with Catprint's services! I just don't use them anymore cause I hate waiting for shipping + I use a lot of bright colors and their printers don't hit those for me personally.

For shipping, I use Pirateship and buy my own boxes from Ecoenclose! Pirateship is pretty straightforward and can connect to several shop websites so you can easily import peoples' shipping addresses. They save you a couple dollarydoos on shipping and calculate everything for you. Keep in mind you'll still need your own printer or label printer for those labels, as well as a scale of some sort to weigh packages. Aaaaaand that's kind of the gist of what I use when I sell prints online! There's a lot more to get into, so I suggest just looking at other artists' youtube videos cause they'll probably put it a lot better than me. :'D I appreciate you asking tho!

If you are having trouble getting through the Christmas season, I recommend directing your energy into charity! For example, you could participate in a local church's food and toy drive. You can visit church websites or contact the priest/pastor/minister to find out what initiatives are happening. Maybe serving in a soup kitchen or collecting gloves for the homeless! The important thing is to shift the focus away from yourself and your worries and channel it into loving thy neighbor.

I deeply regret tagging that post with Christianity, but for the sake of answering this, I already have done some charity work this season and it was a very wonderful experience however, outside of that I still would like to enjoy this time of year, and it is very hard to do when people who have hurt you are being very very loud.

Hey dizzy! Do you have any advice on how to write George dodging questions?

The best thing about George is that honestly, anything can come out of his mouth. I think if he's being put on the spot on stream he'll opt for silence or just saying "no" to something he doesn't want to answer but in a more private conversation I think he'd just go off the wall trying to distract whoever he's talking to first.

"George, what's your favorite color?"

"Colors are a societal construct. Idiot."

"Yeah, but what color do you like most?"

"You're being ableist. I'm color blind, remember?"

"But what's your favorite color."

"Wow, I'm being interrogated. He's going to arrest me, your honor. Lock me up and throw away the key."

etc etc

because there's really never any predicting what comes out of George's mouth, you can kinda just have fun with it, basically?

i hope this in any way helps!

[spooky--spookster]

i do not mean to alarm you but "blood and soil" is a nazi slogan 😭😭😭 (originally "blut und broden")

Oh dear! Thanks for letting me know, as I was unaware!

I chose the name cause it has a lot of meaning for my story, (the blood had more relation to familial ties, as well as violence, the the soil was more about uncovering truth) but I guess I’ll have to think about changing it? I mean, the plot has 0 references to nazis, but if any Jewish people had some input that would be really nice and I’d appreciate it

How do you write so fast???? I want to become such wizard too...

One of my very first memories is sitting under the sink at a Ramada Inn with a notebook and pencil scribbling out a "story" and then getting up and "reading" it to the grandparents who'd driven to visit. I was 3 or 4.

I've just always written stories. A lot of the planning stuff just happens automatically in the back of my mind if an idea sticks around long enough. If an idea keeps up with me long enough I write it down, I tend to have enough of a plan to put a dent in the early part, which is the hardest to write for me. And once that part is down, the rest of it just keeps coming.

I wish I had some tips to share, but I really don't. I am, unfortunately, one of those annoying writers who has literally always written and can sometimes turn out huge word counts.

I've also dealt with all the negative aspects of writing: writer's block, story fatigue, not being able to really feel my fingers because I kept typing long after I knew I should take a break.

Enjoy what you're writing. That's the advice I have, I guess. Enjoy it, and that's what makes every other part of it worth it.

Oh, and take breaks and stretch for god's sakes. Learn from my mistakes.

sorry if this is oversharing but here's my two cents ! i dated someone for 3 years who never put in the effort, never was the first to call, left me on read, never texted me first etc. It makes you MISERABLE. and i always had this idea of if i just said the right words they would change. if I told them enough times that i was unhappy and wanted more effort from them, they would start treating me right. they would always say they would do better, and then did the same.

there's no magic word combination. some people are just built like that forever, no matter how much u plead. it really makes u feel worthless after a while. unfortunately she sounds just the same. after we broke up i realised i only tolerated all that shit because i found them SO SO SO physically attractive. and it made me feel so good about myself...like look at me i can pull this absolute hottie...and i realised i was in love with that feeling more than i was in love w them or their personality.

i hope this is even a little bit helpful ! best wishes !!

hi !!! that sounds really horrible i'm sorry you went through that! i'm so glad you're out of that relationship now though, i hope ur doing ok now !! (long answer so i'll put it under cut)

yh i def understand ! whenever i was in a relationship w smn who was inconsistent in replying etc etc even for a temporary period i felt absolutely miserable i can't imagine what it's like to go through that for 3 whole years...the situation w my crush however i think is a bit different bc we've gone on very few dates (3) and we're not even in a relationship yet, and also maybe in the past i would plead or look for the right combination of words, but fortunately i'm at a stage in my life where i'm ok w just. accepting it def won't work out and i'm moving on

u are right though i think a big aspect of why i'm entertaining this even to such an unserious capacity rn is bc of how she looks 😭 but ...idk how to say this without sounding rly arrogant but she also pulled...me? like i think i only tend to date ppl i find very hot and also i don't feel too bad abt losing her despite her appearance bc like...yh i feel lucky i pulled her but also it was the other way around too yk. she's the one who asked me out at the start 🤷‍♀️ (i say this but catch me weeping over lost potential in a few weeks) but also ur right as it stands rn its like . the ratio of how attracted i am to her looks:personality is wayyy off and if it doesn't change, i just won't see myself in a relationship w her

[anilovie]

idk if this will make you feel any better, but I too have been feeling blue these days. you’re not alone! and your writings actually helped a bit to put my mind off things, lol. I hope it’s the same for you, to be your own safe place.

<3

yaaa this did make me feel better 🥹 it’s nice to know im not alone, and you’re not either !!

im glad my little drabbles help you!! writing them helps me. thank you for this 💖💖

[sleepipipi]

Look into epiloderm wax. It’s much gentler. It truly doesn’t hurt as much.💗

Okey :) i think i will😇 thank you for the reccomendation 😇💕

Also cause the epilator hurt soso much🥺 that i havent used it since😖 also it left little pink/red bumpies where it pull out my hairs. Very unenjoyable😖😖😖

[atsu-i]

What can someone do to stop feeling like it's better not to live? What if life is just so tiring?

omg anon..

[triptychgardener]

i did some calculations and you wrote 220 thousand words of homestuck fanfiction in a year which works out to more than 600 words a day on average. girl. how. i'm so impressed.

Wow holy shit, really? That is a frankly ludicrous amount of writing productivity. I mean, one should discount like, First Few Months or so Eden who wrote like 20k fucking words in a week, she shouldn't be counted. But yeah. Also I think the actual draft of Early June (not counting the golden mile) is edging up on 200k at the moment which. Damn.

[juicezone]
