These pictures were taken on a cool (18°C) July day, when the only things reminding us of summer were the sunlight, the sky colour and the flowers. That day, I felt like dressing in autumn colours. Today, it's October 4th, but the temperature has reached 29°C, which is quite abnormal in Québec. Is it a bit concerning? Definitely. I guess it's once again my cue to encourage you to thrift durable things instead of buying new, at least, when you can. And durable means you can keep your loved things for a long time! I know we all have a big footprint on our poor planet, but we might as well try our best to reduce it in ways we can for the short time we are here.

Umbrella/parasol: some shop in Montreal over 10 years ago (I can't remember)
Up until April 30th, the Montreal Botanical Garden had a special exhibit greenhouse called Le jardin de l'étrange (The garden of oddness), mixing steampunk exploration tools and interesting flowers. My mom and I visited it a few days before it closed. I decided to go with an outfit that mixed oddness, steampunk exploration, vintage and flowers.

I think we all can agree that Jack’s set for he Halftime show was TRASH.
The set reminded me of the iceberg scene from The Penguins of Madagascar. Come on, with ALL their budget, that was the best they could do FOR REAL. Who on the set commite said that was a good idea.
If you cut out the GOD AWFUL set and focus on Jack, I loved it. I loved the music, his vocals during the performance, and his energy was a chef's kiss. So amazing. I think alot of people are saying they did not like it due to how bad the set was. It was so bad it took away from how talented Jack is.
What did you guys think? Do you agree or disagree? Overall, my takeaway is the set sucks, he was amzing as always, and he should get a redo with a set fit for his talent and greatness.
I submit magic wand! 🪄 for that Kirby OC ask sheet for Dandeelion because I am very curious bout them, the little dickens! ☺️
finally ready to start answering these after hours of researching 1850s floriography books and black holes! (this is all relevant i swear)
🪄 (Magic Wand) - Are they capable of wielding magic? Is it a learned skill, or is it innate? What sorts of spells can they cast? Do they possess any magical items or artifacts? [e.g. the Dimensional Mantle]
kind of! i like the idea that waddle dees are conductors/reserves for neutral energy, and can channel any energy to other living things via good vibes. naturally, dandelion uses that innate power for their garden in waddle dee town :]
so basically like earth ponies kind of--
i'm also a devout follower to the "dreamland creatures can sense and spread emotions and feelings through individual magic signatures" headcanon, which also manifests in dandelion's knowledge of the language of flowers <3
