#but I'd love to see more blogs do this!

[allthingssoulful-garden]

Oooh I like these! Thank you for taking the time to put this together :)

How was your gardening season?

It was okay-ish. Wasn't a bad season overall, got enough out of it, but it was by far the worst I've had in the last few years.

Did you plant vegetables? How did they turn out?

I did. The variety was not as great as in the past, mostly grew common things. Maybe half turned out good and the other half did poorly.

Did you plant flowers? How did you like them?

Yes and I loved them. Added a few more varieties of dahlias, it's only my second year growing them, but I'm enjoying it. Also planted a mix of spring bulbs that turned out very pretty. My dog's been discreetly digging in that bed now and then, hopefully she didn't destroy them and I'll get to see them come up again soon.

Did you plant trees or bushes? How are they?

Yes. Besides the usual replacement of some plum and apple trees, I also planted a nectarine I'm very excited about. Looks pretty healthy so far, grew quite a bit for the first year (not even that, I planted it in late spring). Looking forward to seeing it bloom next spring. Also planted a couple more blueberry and honeyberry bushes to help with pollination for the ones I already have. Ooo and a pink currant. They all look good.

What was your biggest project? How did it go?

I can't say I had any gardening projects this year. Just did my usual planting, added a tree or bush here and there, but I didn't work on anything big. I had too many projects going on in other areas of my life, so I took it easy in the garden.

What did really not work this season?

Quite a few things and they're the same as past years, so it's getting pretty frustrating. Tomatoes mostly didn't do well. Neither did brassicas (probably 3rd year they do horrible), cucumbers, carrots, corn, pumpkings. Also I think this was the year I finally accepted that the weather at the orchard is simply not right for some trees. Planted again some cherry, apricot, pear trees and some already died while the rest don't look too good. I've been trying for like, 10 years, so no more.

What worked really well?

Mmm, I don't know. My new strawberry variety, Clery, maybe. It surprised me how well it did and also how long they can be preserved after picking, which makes me love it. Berries in general did well. Also engligh cucumbers! And beetroots. And celery (currently drowning in celery roots that await someone to process them. Won't be me).

Did your garden surprise you?

Not really. We've been working together for too long, it rarely surprises me anymore :)

What was the biggest challenge?

Drought and a cold late spring/early summer. Can't decide which one did more harm.

Anything else you want to talk about?

Was just thinking I should plant more flowers next season. Annuals mostly, as I don't have any space for perenials, but I think more flowers scattered around veggie beds will look pretty (taking inspo from your city garden @fcktaken). Also more peonies, I don't have nowhere near as many peonies as I'd like.

And just to put it out there, even though it'd be a very irresponsible decision, really horrible on my part, there's a tiny, slight possibility of getting a bit more land in the city and all I can think about is building a glass greenhouse and planting some trees I can't have at the orchard (apricot, saturn peach, quince, persimmon, sour cherry). Ha, a girl can dream.

Favorite picture?

Two, because they go together.

Part of the berry varieties from this year. I keep trying to take a picture with them all, but their ripening times are too different.

@ People who don't have a personal art tag or art blog:

WHY

HOW am I going to filter out YOUR art from everyone else's on your blog if you tag everything the same?

I want to see YOUR art specifically, without scrolling through pages to find it. I am not interested in other reblogs. I clicked on your blog to check out YOUR art.

Please for the love of art, give your own posts their very own tag.

"my art", "[your name] draws", "[your name]s silly doodles" - whichever you like the most. Just anything so it's easy to filter and find, so I can actually admire your art. Not having that is a pretty sure way for me to lose interest and move on.

Feel free to use these for whatever you want or for edits, just credit me for these outfit designs &/or sprites! It took a lot of hours to come up with these! 💜

[stardestroyer81]

I've noticed some of my Pizza Tower posts as well as my Star Tower overview post have been getting some attention as of late, and I simply couldn't be happier on the matter, especially seeing how much people like Star Tower in particular!

And seeing as I've had art of the lot sitting around for some time, I've decided to whip up six individual icons for each of the five Fruitins as well as the Super Key as it's been quite a while since the Fruitins have all been seen together on this blog! 🍒🍊🍈🥨🍌🔑

Hello, World!

Hey y'all! I'm Coz (or Void) and it's about time I make an intro post :)

I've been lurking about the writing/whump communities for years now so... What changed? I finally feel like I've posted and engaged enough to warrant an intro haha. I'd really like to follow even more writers to keep myself on the writing train.

I mostly write original content with above average suffering (hello whump community), but I do like writing stuff set in existing stories (see: Vigilante). I also reblog plenty of stuff ))

My pinned has most of my WIPs—nothing truly complete by my standard, but there's a bit for each. My most recent WIP is Sticks and Stones, but I'll be working on Carrie and Willow sometime soon... eventually...

Feel free to send me asks! I'm down to talk about tropes or share fun facts or a secret third thing.

Hope to see y'all around ))

It's again that time of the week where I have to go and report the spam and/or porn bots from the tags I follow because every time I see one of their posts on my dashboard I die inside a little bit

Not feeling great abt some of my creative endeavors rn

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Hi Bean! I'm a big fan of your blog, and I wanted to ask you something real quick: How would your version of Fake Peppino, aka Pep react if he met a clone that was similar to a Peppino clone, only it didn't actually look like Peppino? Asking cause I'm considering drawing Pep with an OC of mine named Grolly, who is heavily inspired by Fake Peppino, but isn't actually a Peppino clone (In fact, he's an OC for an entirely different game), and I wanna make sure I can get Pep's reaction to him as accurate as possible in case I decide I do in fact want to draw them together.

(Ooh, that's an interesting question!

Pep would probably not know a non-Peppino clone is a clone, bc as far as he is aware clones always look like Peppino (except for Fake Bean, but they canonly haven't met yet, so besides the point!!!)

So he'd probably act how he would upon meeting another 'normal' person (for lack of a better term), curious but more hesitant to approach in case he scares them, or they act hostile towards him

But once he feels it's okay, he's very friendly, and after realising they are a clone, he'd probably get excited bc 'new friend like me!!!' and feel more comfortable being 'weird' around them

I hope that helps somewhat jkdskjlfsd)

Sorry if you‘ve been asked this before, but since we know you‘re fav lmk characters, I was wondering what you‘re favorite duos and trios were?

And/or however many characters you wanna group together. Just in general, the character dynamics you find neat!

(My guess is that MK and Mei are somewhere on the top of the list- if not THE top)

One of my favorite things about lmk (of which there are many lol), is that you could throw two darts, and whatever two characters the darts land on are bound to have an interesting dynamic.

One of my favorite episodes is the Sandy and Huntsman episode (2x08), Tang and Macaque also have an intriguing conflict in 3x08, and Pigsy and Chang'e (3x07) have such a heartfelt shared passion that you can't help but enjoy their on screen time together.

I'm someone who wants a sort of Ne Zha and Yellowtusk "we reluctantly work together" arc, where even though Yellowtusk may have helped nearly bring the world to it's destruction, he ultimately helped save it, and he also happens to know a thing or too about keeping the Jade Emperor's power contained. I think it'd really fit in with lmk's "past mistakes vs making the right choices now" theme—in all honesty Yellowtusk has already paid his time with an eternity spent in the scroll—and now he can truly help make a better world. I think it'd be a neat way to keep him involved in the story, give Ne Zha someone to bounce off of (they both view power as sacred and a huge responsibility, unlike Wukong for example who is much more flippant with power), and would give some juicy drama ("You would betray your brothers?") between Peng and Yellowtusk later down the line.

Though anon you're 100% right, MK and Mei are at the top of my favorite dynamic list lol (They're whole motivation is to protect each other out of 100% platonic love. Obsessed with them). I'm also really partial for the MK, Mei, and Sandy trio that pops up here and there (1x03, 1x04, 3x04, 3x06). Traffic light trio is a treat, and the sunburst duo has my heart forever and always (I love seeing the way MK and Wukong's relationship has developed over the course of the show, both for the better and worse). Pigsy and Tang are always a delight (thank you 1x04, 2x03, 2x04, 3x05, 4x04, and specifically the line "Sometimes it's that little bit of char that makes for a more flavorful meat! Even if it is a bit tangy."), they're definitely at the top of my list. Obviously I like shadowpeach, and shadowpeach + MK (ooooo the monkeys are such delicious/tragic foils oooo), and I think Mei and Wukong have a really interesting dynamic (Wukong seeing Ao Lie in Mei, Mei viewing Wukong as someone who has hurt MK). Wukong and Azure's dynamic is also super interesting (Azure with his unrequited crush and heartbreak), so is LBD and MK's (could talk forever about these two), however I'll cut this off here since I could probably go on for a long while about this specific topic.

[mermaidsirennikita]

once again must step away from a romance discussion thread because the idea of saying that Tristan Thomas is too similar to Embry Moore makes my brain explode lmao

[harrowscore]

i think i finally found a semi-famous (?) blog that blocked me lmao

[dailyeca]

sometimes i think that i should be putting him in more complex compositions and dynamic poses and cool outfits and color palettes and pretty rendering and detailed backgrounds and more characters and story-driven comics and personal meaning

and then im like. that's the fucking devil talking. dailyeca is and always was supposed to be a low maintenance blog where i draw an eca a day and this eca can be the most scribbled motherfucker in da world but as long as there's a daily eca then i've succeeded. when i have time to add cool shit i can absolutely do that but even if he's just a sketched up bust shot at 11:59, i'm doing enough because that's just dailyeca babey.

[hyperfixation-symposium]

Hello! As @lxrd-ren was the only one to reply to this post about drawing qsmp personas, I decided to do a small doodle page of their OC Robin and some hangout stuff with my own persona! Robin is so cute, I love their design and hope I did it justice!!
