winter

Riley sits with the kids to eat pancakes and Nancy and Haruo both turn to them. “Ri, is it true that there are half fish half horses in the water? Nan told me they live in Brindleton Bay and come ashore during full moons.” Haruo says, his eyes wide and Riley glances at their daughter, who blinks innocently at them before grinning. “No, nooboo. But there are so many real and cool local sea creatures here. Such as the long and short fin squid, winter skates, butterfish*, etc.” Riley says, trying to remember from the website they’d checked out on the plane ride to Joe and Aubrey's house. “Wow okay,” Haruo says and he begins to ask Riley a bunch of questions that they answer as best as they can.

Meanwhile, I hadn’t seen Aubrey in a bit so I clicked his photo and saw that he was still at the park. He was sitting next to a fancy looking sim named Yasmin West, and just chilling. I cheated his needs to full because he’d been out there all night and made him come back home.

It's that time of year again where it gets a little warmer and I remember that Amphibia is a show I very much enjoy thinking about. Have some Anne outfits, as a treat <3

If you would like to see what aspect of headcanon/ au worldbuilding had consumed my consciousness like a pestering maggot, feel free to continue below.

Hello! Welcome to I focus on researching one very specific detail until I burn out!

My entire day has been consumed by figuring out how Amphibia's farming works. Like... amphibians are carnivores why do they have farms?

Well, I'll tell you why! The Plantars grow animal feed for predominantly crickets but also others such as silkworms, spiders, snails, etc. They grow produce like cabbage, mushrooms, parsnips, potatoes, dandelions, and turnips as well as heartfruit, a fruit not found on Earth.

In the past, the original amphibian hunter/gatherer societies found that mealworms were attracted to fallen heartfruit, among others. They began to use this knowledge to make traps and eventually began both containing the worms as well as growing the fruit.

Despite mealworms historical prominence in the farming and feeding of Amphibia, crickets are more popular nowadays due to their higher levels of protein. They also began growing a larger variety of produce to further increase efficiency.

Heartfruit is a kind of tree grown fruit with the color of a raspberry, size of a kumquat, and shape of a peach (hence the name). The Plantar's orchard is the only producer of this fruit as its traditionally significant but not necessary for frog kind. They are Anne's personal favorite of the Plantar's produce, being chalk full of nutrients and somehow feels nostalgic to her.

Speaking of Anne, she survives mostly on the Plantar's produce along with cricket meat (knowing that she can at least eat crickets).

After discovering that the amphibians hibernate, she begins to plant pole beans, blueberries, elderberries, and other produce and herbs in her greenhouse to cultivate while she forages and stockpiles for winter. She preps and stores wild rice, pecans, and sunflower seeds (discovered through trial and error). She keeps spare root veggies and other product in the basement. The Plantars help her do this, once they understand the situation, drying heartfruit and salting and smoking fish as well as making jerky out of bugs that they know she can have.

Anne's gonna learn to survive, even if the first winter is especially hard.

Earn It

Birds and Promises

while we all know what happens in the air, we don’t know what happens with the aviators on the ground when three nearly die during a training exercise. how do hangman, rooster, and star react to their best friends nearly dying? will it change things between star and omaha?

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Your Lover Savior Speaking

the mission is here. and once again while we know what happens in the sky and in the control room, what’s going through star’s mind as her friends fight for their lives and might not come home?

Shield of Injustice

while star and her friends fly the mission of a lifetime, sam and bucky are on a mission to find karli before john does. but they all get way more than the barganed for...

Safe Places

in the wake of the publicized murder of a flag smasher, star has to wrestle with herself as she comes to terms with everything that has happened and anticipate what will happen in the fall out -- all the while omaha tries not to let his feelings overshadow hers

[canideadmeow]

so there won't be any "roaming around the campus while looking for spots to sit and read in" or "oh I could sit at that ONE spot and sketch while listening to podcasts" or "I'll just take a walk near the garden area and cb to continue my painting" or "I'll look around in the art lab to feel inspired" or "I'll sit on that one bench that is surrounded by trees and enjoy the sound of wind rustling through the trees or the sight of squirrels jumping around here and there while constantly chattering" anymore???

naruto but it's my modern fantasy world au

[chaika-jpeg-shitpost]

The first mahoyome ending really reminds me of a Soviet song "Prekrasnoe Daleko" ("Wonderful Far-away", "The Splendid Distant Future"). The melody, the choir, the lyrics too

I hear a voice from the beautiful future It calls me to a wonderful place I hear the voice, asking me quite sternly, "What have you done for tomorrow, today?" I promise to be truer and kinder And to never leave a friend who needs my help I hear the voice and follow after it swiftly On a road where no footprints yet have been. Oh glorious, distant future Don't be cruel to me Don't be cruel to me Don't be cruel! My heart's desire is pure For the glorious, distant future To the glorious, distant future I begin my journey now.

I do love that I'm both freezing and having the worst back pains.

But at least I still have a roof above my head, right?
