PNW Plant Magic Series
These posts were made many years ago based on my personal (UPG) correspondences and experiences with the plants. Some views have evolved since then!
I encourage you to sit with any plant you want to incorporate into your craft and truly connect with them instead of solely using a UPG correspondence list on tumblr! Consider these a starting point/inspiration! :)
Bleeding heart
Bracken Fern
Deer Fern
Lady Fern
Licorice Fern
Maidenhair Fern
Miner’s Lettuce
Nettle
Osoberry
Red Elderberry
Salal
Salmonberry
Sorrel
Sword Fern
Trillium
#pnw plant magic#PNW witch#local magic#upg#I now live somewhere that doesn’t have most of these plants#but I may start making some posts like this for the plants in my area!#this has been in my drafts for two years so I’m just going to post it as is#was thinking I’d incorporate plants in my new area but that hasn’t happened yet

Happy ten years to transcendence au and almost as long to Brian the organ duck! How time flies...
I haven't drawn anything for this au in ages but I did remake the 8tracks playlists on Spotify if anyone uses that. Before Brian shows up, imagine Dipper and Mabel are discussing songs to add to the answering machine playlist (which. that's. Did I mean hold music all this time? lol)
#transcendence au#carliedraws#carliedrawstau#traditional#sketchbook#i stopped being a mod like nooot even a year in because. life. but i have always held affection for the au since#might take a spin through the blog to see what happened on there since i left#yall are so creative#maybe ill do an actual entry for the raffle contest thingy? or is that weird cause i used to mod LOL#but for now this because i was feeling nostalgic#audio#did i have a playlist tag#organ duck#body horror w#the thing I can't believe about this character#is that the initial idea for him came from someone making fun of how i said oregon ducks in a stream#i should stream again someday#i dont do digital much these days because of eye problems but i can do it in limited stretches#(how ELSE is one meant to say oregon ducks. no one i know around here says ore-uh-gone)#(i live in non-OR part of the PNW tho and my dad is from OH so. who knows lol)

every day I am shocked the Midwest accent is real
#I just didn't KNOW that many people who had noticeable midwest accents until I like. moved here.#though my grandmother was originally from minnesota before that side of the family moved to washington when she was small#and you could occasionally hear it in certain words#(one of many scandinavian-american families that went 'this weather sucks' and moved from the midwest to the west coast)#I have a pnw accent which is one of the lesser-known regional american accents#I don't know if it's still very strong but at one point it was noticeable enough that people kept commenting on it#in a 'what the fuck is that' kind of way because most people don't know the pnw accent exists#but I also confuse people because I lived in the South for so long#I don't have a southern accent but I do have some dialect quirks that have been picked up over the years#the people who have been most confused about my accent have been canadians from bc lol#the bc accent is very very close to a washington accent but not identical#then I said 'y'all' and they gave up and went 'where...are you from. what is that.'#(this is a true story)#I also now say parking deck which I *think* is a georgia thing? or that part of the south anyway#I never heard it before I moved to atlanta#your girl

#who am i kidding the woods are right by the fuckin roads because i live in the PNW#turn off the main street and it's a parking lot to the local hiking trails#i've got one on monday and one on tuesday i think i might just lose it y'all#i didn't even get to the hw we were encouraged to do before the exam#so um. i am NOT slaying right now.#stem major shenanigans#personal

#chelseaspice on apple music btw#currently living vicariously thru this song 💔#ill probably never have a summer like this#thinking abt when the summer after i turned 18 i was so excited bc i had a lil money in my pocket#and i was younger and still had sparkle in my eyes#this was the time coconut girl and frankies bikinis first came up#i so badly wanted nothing than to be a sit on the beach girl#but i didnt live an hour from atlantic city like i did as a kid amymore#and the beaches at the pnw (noah fence) are a PITTANCE compared to the ones i grew up on 🤚🏾#and i had a shit excuse of a human being i was convincing myself that liked me as a best friend#i spent the summer working 10hr shifts at red robin getting sexually harassed 👍🏾#cant say i aint run it up tho#dont matter now bc i spent it all 😣#i took the last $200 made and put it in an account. thats the grown up thing to do right? save?#if i ever had it my way id be in my beach house wearing a sun dress w no undies making dj sets and#chasing my dog around. and in the night hit the boardwalk w my friends and party jersey shore style#….anyways will smith woooo! 😀😍#Spotify

Neskowin, Oregon - Proposal Rock | July 14, 2023
#I truly live in a damn paradise.#Yes - I am fully aware of how fucking lucky I am.#That’s why I rarely vent on the dash about my life.#Cuz while my home in Salem is… rough at times?…#I still get access to THAT every now and then.#It keeps me humble.#my pics#taken by me#Oregon Coast#Oregon Beach#Neskowin#Proposal Rock#pnw aesthetics#ruflirtingwithme

I had so much fun today (and yesterday). My cousin and her girlfriend came to visit and I was worried it would be awkward because I hadn't seen my cousin in 5 years and I had never met her girlfriend, but it was so fun. It was nice reconnecting with my cousin and her girlfriend is really nice.
#my cousin has lived in the midwest her whole life and so i rarely got to see her but she recently moved to the pnw#and is now only like 4 hours away so i'm hoping i'll get to see her more often now#she was like my favorite cousin growing up too#personal

#we're going to washington next month and it'll be my first time back in the pnw since 2019 and i have some feelings about that#also might have a chance to go back to the town where i used to live next spring. but that's still a little ways out#anyways everything pre-pandemic really does feel a lifetime ago now and it's strange

I would be curious to see what you found about Raven…hm how bout we swap notes?
just take what you find with a grain of salt. The best answers come from the people who know them, not summaries.
[REDACTED]
#[REDACTED] au poster#oh wait now that i google it i think i have read this before#i live in the PNW so i'm not surprised i've come across this before; i must've just forgotten the name#from what i recall (and wikipedia's help) it's about a raven who steals light for the rest of the world from these sky people(?)#the raven impregnated the sky chief's daughter through turning into a pine needle and getting swallowed (not quite sure that's how it works#but i guess this is a tall tale)#a baby was born that looked a lot like the raven. the raven then used the birth as a cover to steal the sun where he then threw it into the#sky for the people to have#does that sound about right?

yes absolutely AND as a pnw TRUTHER who grew up very close to forks and in fact lived in forks at one point--it really actually kinda looks like that. the blue filter is way WAY more accurate than whatever the fuck breaking bad had going on in mexico with the yellow gel coat. lookin like the camera lense was exposed to pure unfiltered nic smoke for the past 45 years. forks, neah bay, lapush, clallam, etc. are very much a little blue all year and especially sep-april. not only were you trolling but you were right.
Was talking about saw x with a girl in class today and she's Hispanic so we were both kinda laughing/complaining about the yellow filter they always put over Mexico and south asian/middle east countries and then that one asshole dude cut in and started explaining how color grading was a very intentional choice made by the directors and how important it is to cinema (like ok. Shut up and maybe think about how hollywoods biases might affect their portrayal of certain regions because THATS what we were talking about. Not the concept of color grading) and then he got really mad at me because I was like "omg you're so right" and started waxing poetic about how the blue filter on twilight was the best example of color grading I'd ever seen in film because it perfectly encapsulates the misery of the pacific northwest
#twilight#pnw#breaking bad#anyway#not telling y'all where i live NOW but i will say i love the pnw and also twilight both#anything straits of juan de fuca adjacent is just fucking like that

oh to live in the pacific northwest and wake up to cold nature and wet streets that reflect the street lamps off the asphalt, the feeling of looking out the window at the dawn as you're drinking coffee while the rain hits the window softly.
standing outside while its drizzling, feeling and hearing the soft pitter-patter of the tiny raindrops hitting your jacket. the smell of cold morning dew hanging off the tips of blades of grass.

#im hyperfixating so hard rn#you dont understand#i love this vibe.#so much#pacific northwest#pnw#i want to move there so badly#get me out of the scorching hell that im living in right now#Spotify
