Why do you love Hogs Killing a Snake? Just curious.

Honestly the first time I saw it, I was just captivated by the sheer raw violence of the content. It was just such a weird painting to see in a gallery, a painting of pigs and death, and then I turned around to look at American Gothic and found that the woman in American Gothic, across the gallery, was staring directly at me, and through me at the pigs. 

Probably I would have just laughed and gone on my way, but the wonderful positioning of the two paintings, so that a farmer was looking at livestock, was something that I wanted to share with anyone who was interested in seeing American Gothic. Which meant that I saw Hogs Killing A Snake a lot, and especially after it was one of the pieces in the amazing America After The Fall exhibit, I spent a lot of time contemplating it. It’s become like an old friend. 

One time I was showing the painting to a friend and talking about it, and a tourist visiting the museum started listening in. Once I was done she very hesitantly asked me, “Are you a curator here?” and I have never been more flattered in my entire life.

Anyway, the main appeal is still that it’s just so weird. You don’t often see pigs in fine art and you really never see violent pigs. But it also strikes me now as a really interesting reaction to the pastorality of American painting at the time. Most portrayals of rural life have always struck me as a bit static -- that’s not a bad thing, there’s a lot of paintings of rural life that I love, but you almost never see a painting like Hogs Killing A Snake anywhere, where it both celebrates rural life and violates the serenity we expect of it. Pigs lived and died and killed snakes on American Gothic’s farm, behind Monet’s haystacks and next to Van Gogh’s olive orchards, but only in Curry’s painting do we ever see it.

Please help my baby snake ignorance- why are the Ball Pythons kind of bulgy on their bottom half? It looked like the Mexican Black Kingsnakes were just sleek adults in miniature, while the pythons look more chonky. Is it just a species difference? Do the pythons have baby fat? Did the kingsnakes poop before you took their pictures, but the pythons hadn't yet? I'm sorry if these are dumb questions- I've just never seen baby snakes before and I'm so excited!

Hey no worries! :) So ball pythons tend to have a lot of yolk to soak up out of the egg, and they don’t soak it up until after they pip. So they soak the whole yoak up within a 24 hour period and it makes them look super chubby :)

[aurumacadicus]

How? Are all your fics so good? You've made me fall into each ship you've done so far! Ships I never thought of! And all different scenarios. You are so creative and I'm SO GLAD you chose to share your creativity this way!

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

Winterhawk Fic

Breathe You In by Nny 

The guy pictured was in profile, most of his back to the viewer, and he was braced with a bow in his hands, the bowstring pulled back to his far ear. The sleeveless shirt he was wearing was an eye-searing purple, and the musculature it revealed was enough to catch the eye, but it was the red words that curled along his forearm that had caused all the outrage. It was absurd that they’d have been nothing special if only they’d been black and already matched.

World’s Greatest Marksman, huh? they said, and underneath in white the poster blared YOU DECIDE, with a list of dates that were all sold out.

Written for @col1999 for the @charityhawktion​ - I was asked for soulmates and a happy ending, which I think I delivered.

Thank you for this gorgeous prompt, dear Anon, I had a blast writing this! @notfergusmom & @col1999 (Tumblr let met tag either of you, I hope you see it!) voted for this as my next square ages ago and here you are. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

* Corner (Ad Astra Remix) by Blue Stahli

Stephen was hurting, badly, andTony wanted nothing more than to take him into his arms and try to make itbetter.

“Let me help, please,” Tonywhispered again. He didn’t even notice the tears in his eyes and the empty,hollow feeling in his heart, too consumed by worry. Filled with a cold sense offoreboding he stood up, ready to go over to the Sanctum and demand someanswers.

Or beg for them. Whatever. He wasprepared to do both.

This is a good question, and I want to thank those that have answered. I’m questioning a lot of stuff myself, so this all helps.

NP. Just... keep in mind that there’s no rush in finding out this particular aspect about yourself. Hell, mine took about 20 years before finding what fit.

And what fits then might not fit later. It’s NBD.

but is it gay?

Six Harvests? Not especially -- the protagonist and his wife are both straight, and it’s set in a small town in Texas in the 1930s with all that entails. There is a secondary character, the protagonist’s sister, who is a lesbian, but that really only comes into play in the last third or so of the book, and isn’t a major plot thread (she’s not living in the town for most of her story). 

Nameless is significantly more gay; it’s not especially overt, like there’s no sex scenes or anything, but it’s very clearly a love story between two men who are both excruciatingly bad at being in love.

I just switched to A&H litter because the store was out of my regular one, and my cats L O V E it. Like 'enthusiastically tossing it everywhere' love it. Which is not awesome, but what IS awesome is that the litter clumps like a motherfucker, so. Pros and cons.

It might just be a function of A&H litter, too -- mine also like to kick it everywhere, especially when I’ve just refilled the box. Polk will get in and kick litter out of the box until the level is precisely to her liking, and then Deebs will go garden in it for half an hour, the little filth monsters.

The annoying thing is that each time I see that ask I get tempted to find out if the fic mentioned actually exists because bile fascination

So the good news is 

[Description: A screengrab of AO3 search results; the search was for tags Mpreg, Jesus Christ, and Seahorses, and there are no results found.]

Not to be judgey, but the unsettling news is that if you remove “Seahorses” you get seven hits. Now, only two of those are Pregnant Jesus, but both are Pregnant Jesus in an A/B/O AU, and I read them both with my own two eyeballs, and I blame you.

I know it would be treif as all get out to use the onion jam I have in the fridge (which has bacon in it) but what about a savory version with caramelized onions?

I’ve definitely seen savory Hamantaschen before! I will say I wouldn’t use the cookie recipe -- if you’re going to use something like caramelized onions, I’d use pie crust and essentially make little onion tarts.

So I should try the hardware store for a fake tree ... good to know. (Yes, I'm procrastinating.)

Yeah, I think a larger store would have more selection, but mine had about ten fake trees of various sizes left. I bought the floor model of that one :D

kimmiesue13

Are you decorating with the word ornaments? I still have that file somewhere!

I’m not, because I already have too many ornaments, BUT the file is also available online still! Man, it’s been a minute, hasn’t it. 

speedgeek

How do the kitties like the decorated trree?

They’re a little curious but mostly haven’t really shown much interest -- they’ve sniffed around the base, but they know when I say “Nuh uh uh!” that it’s off limits. That doesn’t always stop them with other stuff, but with the tree there’s not enough dangly things or loud noise-making things to interest them. 

writingcaterpillar

This is exactly the sort of tree that would come to life as a hilariously incompetent sidekick in a 1990s Disney direct-to-video animated sequel. It's perfect for you!

LOL. Frozen 3, or rather...Frozen: Tree.

Jolly! On a side note, I am jealous of how deep your window sills are. More specifically, my cats are jealous of how deep your window sills are.

Yeah, the cryptids love them. They can cause some difficulty with hanging drapes, insulation, etc but I do really like having recessed windows.

dignitywhatdignity re: sewing

Gotta have a 3a on a Copperbadge list!

It’s tradition! IDK, I feel like limiting what I say to three items helps keep me focused, but there’s always one more slightly less relevant thing I feel must be said...

geekgirl76  re: sewing

LOL! I think I know which pattern you’re talking about! (I think I have about 3 copies of it!) It also makes an excellent jumping off point for a ROTJ Luke Skywalker!

What’s so interesting to me is that while yes, obviously it helped me make the coat, I feel like basically any coat pattern would have done the same -- I modified the front and the collar so heavily and tailored it so specifically to my torso length that really all I needed was a basic coat pattern to start from. 

I mean, I’m not saying I’m an expert tailor or anything, it was a basic “sack with arms” kind of a deal, and also sewing my own shirts or coats would be a tremendous pain in the ass. But now that I know how coats are cut out and pieced together I feel like I could pretty much assemble one either without a pattern, or with only minimal pattern that I would then modify to the specific body. 

Like, patterns are great, but mostly in my case they’re meant for teaching me “How shapes fit together” and once I’ve done it a few times I can basically pattern something out from scratch, which is how I did the bicycle seat cover -- “Oh, I know in theory how this ought to work, it’s a flat top with a strip around and buttonholes to tuck under”. 

Which is a talent I did not expect to have, to be honest, given I have semi-poor spatial sense and failed geometry twice. It’s probably because I started sewing so young.

bibliophilecats re: glasses

Posts like these make me so happy: seeing another adult who is still into fan culture, fanfic etc. Fastly approaching 40 myself, I do not feel so particular 😊 I used to think at that age one is supposed to be married with children and house, to be a "regular middle-aged adult".

Aw yeah! There’s a whole community of us. Tumblr actually skews way older than you think, as does fandom, it’s just the younger members tend to be louder and post more. (I mean, fair. I did too at their age.) But yeah, fuck adulthood milestones, I own my own home and would rather be single than in a bad marriage and don’t want kids, so here I am. :D 

col1999 re: glasses

Sam. I, too, like to keep an old pair or two as backups - I get it, I do! But your prescription has probably changed too much for those to be useful now. (But now I'm thinking how neat it would be to have some sort of display of all my old glasses, especially to see how my tastes have changed. And lens thickness since I used to need coke bottles before the thinner lenses were available and cheap.)

LOL! Yeah, those glasses would really hurt my nose if I tried to wear them now anyway...

If you were to look at photos of me from childhood to adulthood, you can pretty much pinpoint the moment at which I started picking my own glasses frames. My mother favored MASSIVE round lenses, like think if Harry Potters’ glasses were 2-3 times larger, with tortoiseshell frames, that made me look faintly buglike. Around 12 or 13 the lenses suddenly square off and the frames turn black or silver, and from 13 to 20 or so you can see the lenses get gradually narrower and narrower. But from 20 to 40 I pretty much stuck with “narrow squared lenses, black frames”. Once I find what I like I very much stick with it, something that is currently, I can tell, frustrating my villagers in Animal Crossing. (I don’t want to wear a stripey shirt and a sporty cap! I want to wear my wetsuit and bandanna all day every day!)

Huh. I had no idea the U-boat has only been there since 2004. I thought it got there way before that. I swear I remember seeing it as a kid in the 80's, but maybe that was the train. Eh, sub.... train.... long narrow mode of transportation. It's all the same!

You’re actually remembering correctly! The sub has been part of the Museum’s collection since 1954, but it used to be outside the museum, and the Chicago weather was starting to degrade it, so they moved it into the basement in 2004.

col1999 replied to your post “musegaarid replied to your post “Are you supposed to say Lea like...”

Can confirm after wearing the mask all day - this is one of the best fitting ones I have. You seem to have put more room in the front, making it (seem) easier to breathe, but it's still nice and snug all the way around the edges. And no Dumbo ears! Huzzah!

Oh yay, I’m so glad! Yeah, that’s the “duck bill” design, plus some mods of my own -- a friend wanted to be able to speak more clearly in his mask than he could with the smaller design, so I rounded the “bill” more and dropped the chin. 

fruitgoat replied to your photo “I mailed out the masks from the fundraiser this past weekend! They are...”

I got mine in Oregon! It sits on my face more comfortably than the one I've been using, but I might pre-stretch the elastic a bit before I wear it. (Also thanks for picking the absolutely perfect fabric for me; it's exactly my style.)

Yeah, the elastic is an issue for some people -- those aren’t the elastics I prefer, but they’re the ones I was able to get, sadly. There are thinner ones that work better but those are hard to come by. 

ohgreatblackbunny replied to your photoset “Every once in a while I want to find the person who pitched and...”

@copperbadge in regards to the jalapeno limeade eh, I think it's more of a "people who shop at trader Joe's are experiencing it now" thing. It's been a pretty popular flavor combo in latinx circles for awhile.

Oh, I had no idea! Well, that’s my theory sunk :D 

[copperbadge]

musegaarid replied to your post “Are you supposed to say Lea like "lee" or "lee-uh"?”

Just to support the "lee" pronunciation... I live in Roswell, New Mexico, which was once owned by a Captain Joseph Calloway Lea. So everything is named after him and it's definitely pronounced "lee" here. The locals made fun of me when I arrived and said "lee-uh" (even though that's how it's spelled!)

I still get made fun of for pronouncing Goethe Street in Chicago with the German pronunciation rather then “Go-eh-th.” :D Thanks though, that’s good to know! 

theahole replied to your post “Me: *watching youtube videos* Dearborn: *soft mew on my lap* Me:...”

aw. tell her I love her?

She knows all who witness her must love her. :D 

hxans replied to your post “Me: *watching youtube videos* Dearborn: *soft mew on my lap* Me:...”

You still gave her pats tho right?

Of course! I’m not a monster :D Anyway that’s her “pet my belly” posture more or less -- she doesn’t like being stroked on her back, but if she’s on her side with her head turned she usually wants belly rubs. She’s just not usually quite so weird looking about it. 

col1999 replied to your photo “I mailed out the masks from the fundraiser this past weekend! They are...”

I got mine yesterday! It's one of the larger ones I have, which is nice since it covers more face. I only tried it on for a minute but I have hopes that the ear loops will not make me look like Dumbo - which would be So Frickin Nice for a change. Even my mom laughed at how most masks make my ears stick out. :/

Oh sweet! Yeah, some of the ones I’ve made make my ears stick out a little too, though I find that if you hook your finger under the elastic, run it all the way around your ear and down to your chin, it sometimes helps “Settle” it. Also, google “ear saver” for cheap hooks that can pull the elastic away from your ears! 

I’m working on a new design now for R, which involves using a piece of leather or thick yarn looped through the masks and secured with a toggle instead, because R has the same issue with his big giant head :D

daroos replied to your photo “You know what gets me is the TWO CANS. Two CANS of Beef Broth, one CUP...”

it would just be so salty

Well, I know that sometime in the last 25 years there was a change in how beef broth was formulated that means it’s much saltier but more shelf-stable and stronger flavored now, so it’s possible that it wouldn’t have been THAT salty -- but I don’t think it can ever have been good.

I am also sorely tempted by the hot dog mask.
