SHADOW

HI IM BACK I was splatting with my brother :) SHADOW (THE HEDGEHOG)

Sexuality Headcanon: this hedgehog is gay. he is gay I think out of all the sonic characters this is the sexuality headcanon i am most 100% solid and sure on. that hedgehog is gay

Gender Headcanon: OH NONBINARY 1000000% Perhaps even agender Idk he is also figuring it out because he's from 50 years ago and just woke up and learned about all this like months ago. But this hedgehog has never given a fuck about being part of any gender binary and he doesnt have it all figured out but he knows that not being a boy or a girl has felt more him than anything before and he's awesome basically

A ship I have with said character: well I've mentioned in the sonic post that I do like s/nkn/xadow and thinks that when actually written true to their characters they have a lot of interesting dynamics that could say a lot about each other. but nobody is normal about them and actually writes them as Them so instead everytime i see the respective ships i get annoyed. but also its not that big of a deal. anyways kn/xadow in particular has so much potential like god when you are the last of your kind and have no surviving family and you have been easily manipulated by bad people into being tools for them and you'd think that'd be a unique experience nobody could relate to but actually he gets it. He understands what its like having a past you still dont know all about and desperately wanting to know what your here for, what you exist for-- and youre both slowly figuring it out. together. anyways

A BROTP I have with said character: I already talked about it but godddd shadow and rouge and just team dark as a whole. when he woke up he pretty much had nothing and nobody left for himself even the whole planet has moved on from him but then he makes his first like close relationships again with team dark and they mean. so so much to him. Like they Know but also they dont know just how important to him they are, to have people once again he can trust wholeheartedly to be there for him when he falls and he will be there for them too. OH I FORGOT TO MENTION HIM AND TAILS TOO. he's like the awkward cool and quiet older brother that just kinda slowly happened because tails needed some of his assistance on an experiment and then the moment shadow showed that he was following a lot of the tech talk and even giving his own thoughts back well it was over. theyre nerds and talk about nerd things now every time shadow visits and hold a lot of respect and admiration for the other. they think the other is so cool, basically.

A NOTP I have with said character: Well sh/douge obviously but also sh/dria like FUCKING S TOP THATS HIS FUCKING SISTER. Also even if she wasn't like making that relationship out to be romantic just cheapens the whole thing so much and just feels like bad writing and one of those things where people cannot see that a "boy" can girl deeply about a girl without it being a romantic thing. theyre siblings and best friends shut the fuck up!!!!!

A random headcanon: oh god how do i choose. this is going to get long im putting the rest under a read more

well I think his favorite pastimes are working on his silly motorcycle, taking care of his like 10 chao, reading and listening to music.... he doesnt relax much but he likes to read about flora and fauna a lot i think... As well as different modern science books I think living on the ark has made him a science nerd and he wants to catch up on what he's missed in those 50 years.... I also talked about this in call but I think everyone should know that Shadow very much has a sweet tooth I think. There really wasn't many Sweet food in the ark so its all a very new experience for him and he likes stuff like cheesecake and ice cream so much. I also think at the same time he is a pickier eater than most mobians especially when it comes to more unconventional foods like insects. He may be a hedgehog but he grew up on human food and human food standards he sees rouge putting like mealworms in her salad or something and he looks at her like she's insane. sonic offers him crickets and he makes the excalibur face. Also lets throw in another headcanon for funsies but I think shadow kind of has an interesting detachment, almost, to his past self. he remembers most of his past now, and very much still holds the same attachments and love for gerald and maria and to his home, but what I mean is like. His personality, perspective, outlook... they were Different back then, and between the repeated memory loss and all of the trauma he almost feels himself to be a separate person from the shadow of 50 years ago. for any aitsf mutuals think like date but on a less extreme level. Anyways this stuff doesn't come up too much cause there really isn't anyone left who knew him 50 years ago, but lets say something like in the comics happened where he got to see maria again for a temporary time. She would talk to him and want to spend time with him the same way she did 50 years ago but I think he'd realize the Shadow she's seeing is not the Shadow he is. Or at least, not what he thinks he is. does that make sense.

General opinion on said character: he is the coolest character in the world hes so awesome and silly and i care so much about him shadow has always been my favorite character even when i was little so ysee i think about him lots.

#long post #ask game #sorry for getting Normal in the headcanons part i didnt mean it

i posted some pics of what ive been working on in some crochet discords and the general reaction seems to be "are you sure youre a beginner?" which is amazing bc this is literally my first time doing it correctly. all the years ive been crocheting ive been doing a fake stitch that doesnt exist bc i read the directions wrong, and it created a huge domino effect that needed me to change how i did everything just to get results that looked sort-of decent. and it was soooo much pickier about having perfect tension than Actual Crochet is so it took barely any time at all for my hands to ache and it was just a whole fucking mess. its crazy how much extra work came from reading a singular direction slightly wrong

but now im actually doing it right for the first time ever ;u; and its looking sooo good and its so much easier, and the validation from more experienced crocheters is just so <3

𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐍𝐄𝐑 !

name : saber

pronouns : she / they

preference of communication : if we just speak occasionally, the im’s are fine. frequent plotters and close friends are much better off contacting me via disc.ord

name of muse(s) : elsie ( this blog ) & layla ( @unsteals / on hiatus ) & i have two inactive blogs right now i may or may not revive

experience / how long (months / years ?): i’ve been roleplaying for about fifteen years, twelve of which have been on this website

best experience : i’ve made many great friends here over the years but of course the best experience i’ve had was meeting the love of my life, @heroscarred / @giftshopped

rp pet peeves / deal breakers : not reading my rules or just consistently breaking them, vague blogging specifically targeted at a person ( especially but not only if that person is going to see it )

muse preferences fluff, angst, or smut : i love fluffy stuff, elsie is extremely affectionate and gentle, and it makes me happy to write happy things! i also love angst. i’m a bit pickier about angsty themes, but i live for the character development. i’m not against smut, i definitely write it, but i am pretty particular about who i write it with

plots or memes : BOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH. i kinda oscillate between which works best at any given time, but right now i am somewhat more balanced

long or short replies : i don’t like one liners very much, but it’s also a little hard for me to consistently churn out huge chunks of text. one or two paragraphs is like that sweet spot for me unless it’s something you don’t mind potentially waiting months for me to have enough muse for

best time to write : it’s solely dependent on my mood, my brain, my atmosphere, my schedule, etc... i am at the whims of my mental illness, essentially. if something’s not right, i can’t function, and i might not know what the not-right thing is for a while

are you like your muse(s) : i think that elsie is like, someone i’d very much like to be. there are definitely a lot of aspects of her that came from me and the nickname becky’s muses gave her ( bardy ) is a nickname i use ( very selectively, please don’t call me that unless i’ve given you express permission / you genuinely know me by that name by association with someone that used it ). other things are either things i wish i could be, or aspects of her character that developed from her own individual experiences

tagged by : technically @ofmalice tagging : @heroscarred is the only person i know hasn’t done this yet but if you see this & haven’t done this, do so and tag me please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really hate it here....

been here for maybe a month now and im very much at my wits end. May end up actually being kicked out over something as trivial as a gay comic book.

My aunt kept asking who introduced me to that kind of stuff, it was literally a book about two guys falling in love and they kissed like once in the whole 200+ pages, and i couldn't tell her it was my older the sister.

the sister who reads yaoi (like hardcore yaoi) as if it's the morning newspaper. on one of my other blogs i had said it was intresting to live with a person who was a firm believer that god was almighty and gays were an abomination...

yeah i take that shit back.

It was just over a stupid book that i had forgetton to return at school, now based on our conversation, more like arguement, she's either gonna ban me from books or writing, kick me out, or send me to conversion therapy.

But it's fine. it will all be fine. I have maybe a year or so left before i can move out and i will be happy and free and be able to do what i want (within legal limits) and she or my mom can't tell me no.

they won't be able to dictate who i like or wh i want to get married to boy or girl. They'll have to shove it up thier homophobic asses. I'm just tired. I go to the same stupid church almost every day. We pray for hours, and i have to listen to the stupid preaching.

Like from what i have learned god asks for you to respect one and another yet she disrespecting me with every breath she takes. I try to behave i tell myself you are going to say something rude, shut up.

But when i don't talk they all think im a devil spawn and i;m being distant and rude and ungratedul.

When i do talk, im the bad child, the black sheep, the one who always wants to do bad things.

Can someone explain to me how wanting to love a person openly like regular straight people is so bad??

She was acting like i was reading straight porn in her christian house hold. She won't even let me get a job so i can save to be on my own. That has always been the endgame for me to leave. I hate it here. I hate it here.

Then she'll get mad that all i do is sit around and watch tv shows or write fan fiction!

Hmmm idk maybe you took away any other form i have to communicate with the outside world, or maybe you took me away from all my friends forbiding me to talk to them. Shoved me into some red0necked ass school literallly in the middle of the year and is suprised when i can't make any friends.

I just wanted to be left alone. They should just leave me alone. Even the fucking school is out for break so i can't even escape with that!

god i hate it here. Tumblr is the only place i can escape to. The only place i was able to use after cheating the restrictions. and soon i feel like that will be taken away too soon enough. i hate it here.

if i can't write or read orwork or see my friends what am i really doing here? reading was my escape and she's going to take that from me. Writing is my escpae and i can practically hear her plotting to take it from me.

i can't work yet, she'll complain about money problems. That i run the water bill to high, or i should be pickier when getting grociers. I hate it here.

Just a year...

just one more year left....

then i'll be free...

I'll figure things out because i;m awesome. Even if it means i have to run away again. i'll be free

Honestly, it's a mix of both for me. (Hoping this is coherent, still waking up lol)

I originally started out using runes (which are my preferred mode of divination), but given that there are significantly less than a full deck of tarot cards it was way easier to "memorize" the meanings behind them. After a while I started using the runes super casually for conversations with my dieties, and that's when I got to the point of "I know exactly what is being said despite that having very little to do with the rune itself."

So when I finally started getting into tarot I brought over that more intuitive type of reading alongside the actual card meanings. Plus... im much pickier with tarot decks. I tend to have a certain deck for a certain spirit/diety so the readings become relationship based. This way I've found it easier to focus on the message given versus technicalities.

That said, actually remembering what each tarot card means is a pain in the ass compared to runes, so sometimes I'm prone to overthinking when the message doesn't equal the card. But more times than not that just throws off the intended message ime.

TLDR; If my gut instinct very strongly insists on one meaning, whether it's based on the imagery of the card or on next to nothing, I'll usually take that over the actual cards meaning

...ok I know I said tldr, but now that I'm thinking about it, sometimes the gut reaction + card meaning could very well operate in tandem

Okay so I know there's a lot of discourse between reading tarot with your intuition versus using the book definitions and interpretations of the cards.

What do y'all do when your interpretation based off of the art and your intuition is absolutely 100% the complete opposite of what the book intended?

Usually my intuition is semi on point I can see where the art is trying to portray what the book is saying to an extent. But today I looked at a card and went "ooh that's greed. He hoarding the resources" but the book definition is all about generosity and supporting your community.

I feel like my answer lies somewhere in the balance between those two interpretations but what would you all do in this situation?

3, 5, 14, 26, 49, 50!

Yay fic writing meme! I mean i turned the last one into a fic thing too but yeah. XD note: im on my work ipad so i wont be linking to anything. you guys can find all my work on my ao3 page, along with the literal hell i live in

3. Whats my best fic? Hmmmm. Thats a really tough one. I have to say its a prety hefty tie between my rvb fic “breathe in” and my recent spiderman homecoming fic “into a white and soundless place”. I love them both and i did a lot of research for them.

5. Books or authors that influenced me: cormac mccarthy, rupi kaur, fic writer @klickitats, fic writer @vehlr, east of eden, griffin mcelroy, sylvia plath, margaret atwood, sarah dessen.

5 again because i accidentally read the wrong meme but its ok those answers still matter: fi of mine that i reread and it makes me happy? Again any of my rvb fic, my first mass effect story, my logolepsy fic with vehlr, and my cassandra/bull story.

14. Biggest change in taste from when instarted to now? Ha ha probably my smut taste. I used to be very ah. Loberal with my smut writing and reading. And then you know i. Had sex. And istarted getting pickier and pickier about it and now i use it like a careful tool or weapon and i do not require it in my stories.

26. What aspet of my writing to i enjoy seeing praised? Probably my ability to capture voice and mannerisms. Im often told i get it pretty darn right so infeel good hearing that.

49. Has anyone ever read my fic just because i wrote it? Ive had a few people tell me that. I cant name names but its happened a handful of times.

50. Has writing fic had an impact on my life? Oh my god yes. I haw gained so much self confidence its insane. Yall inflate my ego more than you should i am. God damn leo you guys. And i have made so many wonderful friends and felt connected to so many people even at my loneliest (ive been very lonely lately and writing has helped so much). Would i say its ENTIRELY POSITIVE? No. I told you i hate comment culture, i hate the reader entitlement and i hate the pressure to give give give but i rarellllly feel that from my..readership? I guess? I dont wanna make myself sound like a better writer than i amm i am always learning about things and i will always be changing but. I am glad i do this. I wouldnt change this part of my life for anything.

The Litterbox Dilemma

A lot of people have trouble with cats and litterboxes, so I thought I’d make a post from my own experiences of a lifetime with large multicat households and compile it for easy reading!

Usually cats complain about litterboxes (or don’t/won’t use them) for a few reasons:

1.) Dirty! It might not even look dirty at a glance, but if you have a “sprayer” cat (kinda pees up on the sides of the box), the smell can get a bit too strong for your cat. The easiest way to deal with that is to just use a damp paper towel to wipe it off when you scoop it. Doesn’t have to be every day but at least a few times a week will keep the smell from overwhelming him/upsetting him. Some cats are also way pickier than others. I’m blessed that none of my eight mind if the litterbox isn’t clean; they all use it until there’s no room left and even then most of them will just keep using it. (We’ve all been there where we failed to clean it for like a whole week... Not ideal but it happens.) (Also check the lip edges/seam of the litterbox for pee.)

And a thought: make sure the floor around the litterbox isn’t ...littered with cat litter. ;)

2.) She doesn’t like the box. All cats have different needs for the box shape depending on size, age, and health.

This is my go-to litterbox (and I JUST REALIZED IT’S SUPER ON SALE BECAUSE OF LABOR DAY HOLY SHIT): Nature’s Miracle Corner Litter Box!

I have the oblong litterbox by them but I don’t much care for it; the corner one is my absolute favorite. It’s really sturdy, a bit heavy duty, and it has a large opening which is great for bigger cats or cats who are afraid of crawling into smaller openings/afraid of feeling trapped or, hah, cornered! I have cats of all sizes and this just works excellent for them. The best part is that the sides are high which helps with the cats I have that tend to spray more than squat to pee.

Some cats don’t like covered boxes, but I’ve never had that issue so long as the top was tall enough and the opening big enough!

Also, flap entries/top entry litterboxes: they aren’t worth the risk IMO. Most cats tend to feel trapped.

3.) He doesn’t like his litter. Now, this can range from him not liking the brand of litter to not liking the depth.

We use this litter which we buy in bulk from Costco. It’s not amazing but it’s not bad. I’ve used much worse. (Every try newspaper litter? Don’t do it.) I don’t care overmuch about dust because in my experience the worst dust happens when I pour it in the box, not when the cats kick it around. Now, some of the “crystal” litter I had problems with because my cats didn’t like the way it stuck in their paws/smelled. I always preferred unscented litter and this isn’t that but it’s not a strong smell, which I can get behind.

IMO: strongly scented “prevents odor haha” litter is mostly garbage. It’s made to make life better for us, not our cats. That’s not the right attitude to have as a pet owner. This is an animal with a sensitive nose. This isn’t about us. Get a pet rock if you’re afraid of bad smells.

I prefer kinda medium grain litter. Larger stuff the cats don’t recognize as litter sometimes, and sand-grain litter is, well, it’s okay but that tends to be dustier which isn’t especially good for you or your pet (when they’re trapped in there trying to bury their business getting dust all up in their nose).

Now, depth. Some people put just a little litter in the box because they wash it out often. Or because they don’t want to “waste” the litter. I tried that for a while early in my Cat Ownership Days and it didn’t work. Now I put a good 2-2.5″+ of litter into my boxes, and since I use deep litterboxes there’s still plenty of room for the cats. (We have two of the corner ones, one oblong one, and then several of these. I always remove flap entries, btw. IME they suck and cats hate them.)

4.) Exit mats, et cetera. Some people like to buy mats for the litterbox.

Like this one. Or this one. Or even this one!

I’ve had all of them over the years, and I received the pawprint shaped one en masse as a gift when I moved here. I hate them because they’re hard to clean but they do their job and aren’t hard for the cats to walk on. The latter mat, the plain flat one, is nice too, and I use one of those in one room.

In my experience the harder plastic ones will be rejected and cats don’t like how they feel on their feet + they sit up off the ground and it feels unnatural to climb into and out of the litterbox with so many level changes present.

Some cats are going to hate mats, others will love them. We also use a bunch of carpet remnant rectangles under our boxes which has been mostly successful. Cats do want to be able to get litter off their paws when they exit the box.

5.) Health problems. This could mean a UTI or bladder stones, which makes it hurt to go pee; the cat then may associate peeing in the box with pain and get confused enough to start peeing outside of it. IME when this happens and it’s not too severe, you’ll notice the cat peeing right in front of it/next to it. When Tiny had bad bladder stones, sometimes she didn’t even make it near the box, but it was obvious something was wrong because she wouldn’t even try to pee on an absorbent surface--which most cats do by default. There was also the fact that her urine was pink (from blood of course). Luckily she’s all right now! What I want to make clear is that if a cat is peeing outside of a box that almost always uses the box with no issues: there’s a problem and it’s up to you to do something about it.

And as a word of caution, UTIs and bladder stones can be fatal pretty quickly in males (it can be fatal in females but it happens more rarely), so if you think your cat might have one, get to the vet as soon as you can. And no, don’t feed him that “urinary tract food” garbage. More water is actually the best thing in most cases, so your vet might prescribe high moisture content cat food, which helped Tiny’s bladder stones shrink & pass without the need for surgery!
