#enjoy my crusty sketches

[chrono-art]

A very sketchy and experimental resh'an I did about a month ago ⌛️

[zeondraws]

I was wondering if you were planning a post showing the whole rig or if you knew where to find that? I've really wanted to see each of the rooms in full and where everything leads and connects and all the details, it's hard to see watching playthroughs, especially as the rig deteriorates and the player doesn't take their time to look around.

Thank you for all your time spent going through the game! I really enjoy in depth posts like yours!

Ah this is a great question anon! And thank you so much <3

Maybe in the future I will lay out some sketches how everything connects on the rig. The biggest thing is, there are only certain things loaded in, in each level. So it's always a wee bit of puzzling until I understood where things are located. Which also means I could never check the other parts of accomodation before the deterioration, most rooms aren't shown and/or doors lack the name signs.

However the coolest thing for me was, when I found where Finlay's room is located.

You're never able to see Finlay's and Davros' room, my screenshot of the other door is hard to read, since there is barely any light coming through this part.

They're behind this door at the right of "Campbell" room (and the door near Granstoun/Loudon on the other side). Screenshot a bit crusty but-

Hope I don't slide offtopic too much- I just find it interesting to explore it all and hope to find some random hidden detail here and there.

I know Raffs diving bell is floating across multiple levels, but it's hollow and nothing seems to be going on with it. Up until you see mutated Raffety before Caz enters Engineering again.

I just find this all interesting, because this reminded me of some random post I saw weeks ago. A person claiming the rooms are not properly in place anymore in the late game. They probably thought the devs "disconnected" Accomodations or "weren't consistent with the level locations".

But in reality, it takes multiple walkthroughs until one properly understands how it all goes together. Same with me not realising O'Conner is hanging inside the Forward Pontoon (the one you flood later). Or me having difficulties understanding how exactly Engineering works and being confused what area I have been in already (Where was Mud Handling again?? Where is Pump Control again?? I am slowly memorising it, but still get flabbergasted).

Tho, yeah I could try to make some sort of video or drawing to showcase where everything leads to on the rig. Might take a while due to moving soon. But could be interesting

It clearly makes me realise how much research goes into a topic. At the beginning when I first watched this game, I had no idea what was where (I still remember when I was confused where Muir and Innes were standing??). My first and second playthrough I also felt clueless. But with each playthrough I discover more and more details and finally understand what is going on. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I don't apply this for other things I want to learn (with art or idk finances, I'll figure it out!). But uuuuuuuuuh, you can see I could continue rambling for hours.

It's almost 2am so I have to cut myself short sadly XD But feel free to ask me more questions if you have any (or if other folk have questions too). I shall leave you with this screenshot of questionable amounts of recordings I have

Ain't even all, it's 315GB in total (because I record in 2560 x 1440)

Dang, bro really said “Stfu or you’re going back in the Brita Filter-”

Caudatum, I really spent hours sketching this—

Skipping all the way to Admin reveal time in the AU, yay! It’s pretty much the same as in game except Romeo is revealed to have been possessing Vos for most of the time Jesse’s group has spent with him. After the line of “I should be mad that I had to waste all that time looking like that crusty, old adventurer,” Vos snaps back to and gets up. Immediately realizing Romeo was talking about him, he’s probably thinking “uhh, really? I’m right here-” The original AU masterpost explains this encounter in more detail, but I hope y’all enjoy this silly little comic. ^^ Fun fact, I had this comic idea back before I finished writing the original Vos Possession AU post. The poor thing has been sitting in the back of my mind and also as a post-it on my desk that just says “stfu or brita filter.”

Bonus Content & Bloopers for the fake marlear screencaps

(I love behind the scenes stuff ok can you really blame me)

Ripping animations to help with some basic expression work was..... it was an adventure.

The first image above is an attempt to blend Marth's "surprise" and "smile" faces together but I uh...... Hit the wrong setting in the dropdown. I nearly died from laughing too hard pff.

The Alears there are what happens when you import the characters face rigs with different settings (still screaming at myself for that one) and then try to use a facial expression from one of them on the other one of them. That was supposed to be an :0 face.

The FEH players among you may have recognized the setting of that piece as the scenery for S supports in FEH! Figured if I'm setting the scene in Askr anyway I may as well go for the cheekiest spot. :P

While it probably would've looked great if I'd modelled all that out, after the effort that went into getting the character models looking good I really just did Not have it in me to do that, so this scenery is... A complete and utter lie made of layered image planes.

This was part of why I opted to crank the depth of field so much in the final piece. Helps hide that everything aside from the guys themselves are crusty PNGs. :P It does a half-decent job of looking like a 3D scene even in motion though, so long as you don't rotate the camera TOO far.

I REALLY liked how these close shots of Marth and Alear for the first pose turned out, but in the end I didn't think they fit with the other two poses. There was a timeline where I modified the expressions a bit and made fake dialogue boxes where they're talking about how surprised and happy they are they can actually touch each other in Askr, but I didn't feel confident enough to write in their voices for that.. So in the final shots that story just gets to be implied in their poses and expressions instead.

For the hug shot, I feel it is important to reveal that Alear's head is clipping halfway into Marth's shoulder and armour there. It's fine though. Animate for the camera, professionals always say! If it isn't gonna be viewed from every angle it doesn't have to look good from every angle. :P

Engage renders their characters' eyelashes and eyebrows ABOVE their hair, no matter what, in order to help the readability of facial expressions. I wanted to stay true to that look, so I had to render their eyebrows and eyelashes separately and then combine them in post. Enjoy eyelash-free Marth and Alear. :P

You can also see some areas there where I had to manually fix some shading and outlines in post, too. Blender has a bug with rigging right now that was affecting the face shading in odd ways, so I painted over that; and the inverse hull method I've been using for most of the outlines is very much imperfect and needed touching up in some areas, lips especially.

Since these character rigs were.......... We'll say not intended for use in Blender, they were fairly tedious to get posed right. No rotation or location constraints. These were joint-only rigs with no connections between bones so you couldn't use the auto-IK feature to, say move the whole arm at once. (Which made hand posing the WORST THING EVER AAAA EVERY FINGER JOINT MOVES INDIVIDUALLY why did i pick TWO poses where hands were a critical component)

Part of my process ended up being doing rough sketches of what the final shots were going to be first, so I could keep in my head what sort of poses and expressions and camera angles I was going for. And by rough I mean ROUGH. I kept laughing looking at these little egg head guys for reference as I worked.

Engage's models also come with some "extraneous" bones; "piv" bones that I can't figure out what they do, spots where weapons and shields can snap to, "vol" bones for changing the thickness of specific body parts as defined in the big XML file of character proportions buried in the game. Unfortunately these bones overlap the actual posing joints in many cases, so until you get fed up enough to find and hide them all, you'll try to move the character around and end up doing shit like this by accident

(Me too Marth, idk what the hell his skeleton is doing either)

And as you may have noticed - no particle effects in these behind the scenes shots so far! That's because I both A) couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do that smoke effect, and B) couldn't render a particle system with anywhere NEAR the number of objects I would need to get a similar look to the game. So, I drew those in post! Shoutouts to the random sparkle and smoke brushes in my collection, you're the real ones.

Surprise art! I came out of the woodwork to say I enjoy watching Vox Akuma from NijisanjiEN’s 4th Vtuber wave Luxiem. ^w^ So much so that I got inspired to draw again after being on a drawing hiatus for years. I’m really crusty and I know I’m not good at all, but I really want to get back into drawing again.

The warmer colors are pre-color balanced and the weird eyes one was my default concept that I changed my mind on last minute. I also included my OG sketch because he’s still cute. And of course, a gif process because I like my sketches more than my finished works haha.

[caramel-clowns]

There is only one person that he would admit to just how often he wished for a place to call home.

[determunition]

Hello! I've finally caught up with OLD_FOLKS Home and I absolutely adore your headcanons you have going for everyone. Though I just wanted to ask since we have basically everyone else, does the Mycologist have any role in this universe? I'm just curious if the gang would happen to have another absolutely insane grandpa frienemy.

hello hello!! cool to get a message from you here on tumblr, so glad you've enjoyed the fic so far ^^

i've gotten a couple asks about the mycologists, and i always put off answering them bc it's just been weirdly difficult to like artistically design them into this AU for some reason lmao

in my head though, any inscryption character who's not directly associated with any of the four scrybes (barring luke) probably works at the home in some capacity! like rebecha working the front counter and dealing with like 80% of the home's engineering problems; so within that lens the mycologists are basically the home's in-house doctors! and yea i do tend to split them into two characters lol, i kind of like the implied dynamic of one of them directing the other around

(these crusty-ass sketches are the only times i've ever drawn them, they're from like april lmao)

i do have a small scene planned with them for a future chapter (the scrybes do all have quite an amount of medical issues that would need checked up) but generally their role will remain pretty minor, there's already so many characters in every chapter that i don't think my brain could take two more lmao

although technically, you can find the mycologists in spirit right here in chapter 4 :P

Dead by Daylight survivor Pet Head canons

Based on a conversation I had with my homie (not everyone is mentioned)

Claudette

- Claudette owns a terrarium of stick bugs. All of them have an nerd names; one of them is named Darwin the 12th

Nea

- Nea has a tarantula named cuddles but I feel like she grew up with one of those little white crusty dogs

Dwight

- Doesn’t actively have pets but he definitely grew up around the weirdest shittest inbred chihuahua at some point

Jake

- Jake wasn’t allowed to have pets growing up and he’s still bitter about it. Would probably have a dog though.

David

- Similarly enough David wasn’t allowed to have pets growing up but there was a small kitten that David would feed as a teen that he adopted upon moving out. That cat is now old as hell but still kicking. (The cat’s name is Lucy)

- Also David has an illegal pit bull. (Pit bulls are illegal in the UK). The dog’s name is chance and he’s a sweetie.

Felix

- Felix has a turtle. That’s it he has a turtle. It’s name is Franklin.

Elodie

- Elodie is one of those fish tank people. I just feel it in my soul.

Kate

- Idk if Kate actually grew up on a farm (but I feel it my soul and canon be damned so bear with me) I like to think she had like a pet pig and was constantly tailed by an old farm dog as a child.

Jeff

- Canonically has a dog (pit bull mix in my head). But I don’t think he grew up with any pets

Feng

- Feng has a lobster. The Lobster’s name is Magikarp because Feng’s a fucken nerd.

Mikaela

- Mikaela has Black cat (duh) and a bingus cat that’s constantly wearing a sweater.

Yui

- Doesn’t have any pets but if she did she’d probably have a dog

Zarina

- Zarina has a rescue special needs African Grey parrot, that she’s very attached too.

Jonah

- Jonah has an English Bulldog, it just feels right for him

Jane

- Jane has two cats that she likes to verbally insult. Ala stinky bastard man post.

Adam

- Adam has a chinchilla named like something overly cutesy as like a class pet but it obviously belongs to him. (I hc that he teaches younger students like maybe in the 6th-8th grade range)

Ace

- Ace has had many old janky looking mutts in his life. I feel like he’s enough of a sentimental type to have owned a bunch of dogs.

Bill

- (Ignoring canon) I feel like Bill adopted a couple old ex military dogs

Leon

- We know this man is a cat person whether or not he owns cats or not

Jill

- Snake person. I just feel like she is.

Cheryl

- I feel like she’s a dog person.

Laurie

- Her too. I feel like Laurie would benefit from a service dog.

Nancy

- Doesn’t have any pets.

Steve

- He has dog energy but I feel like he owns a pet rock.

Quentin

- Doesn’t have any pets either, but I feel like he feeds stray cats.

Meg

- Greyhound. She absolutely has Greyhound energy

Yun-Jin

- My favorite Head Canon.

- So Yun-Jin did not have any pets growing up.

- HOWEVER. The Trickster impulse bought a massive ass albino burmese python ala Brittany Spears and Yun-Jin had to re-home it because Ji-Woon can’t be trusted with a sewing needle much less an 80-200 pound noodle.

- The Python was in her care as a foster for a significant amount of time (probably like a couple months).

- She didn’t really care about the snake all that much at first but she quickly (secretly) really enjoyed her company

- The Python, called Yoo-Min, would just kind of backpack on Yun-Jin and they’d just hang like that.

- Sometimes Yun-Jin would have to scramble to hide this fucken 169 pound snake in her house because she already told Ji-Woon that she was adopted and she didn’t want to hear it from Ji-Woon.

- *Disney Channel sketch hilarity ensues*

- Secretly Yun-Jin was very sad when she got adopted.

[holy-guacamoly]

Hey honey first off CONGRATS ON 200!!! I can’t wait to keep supporting you and your works! I am here to request for your event if that’s alright.

Between headcanons and a love letter, I don’t mind either. Whatever is easiest for you!

Fav Character: Jean

Pronouns: she/her

Name: Savi and Lina with those closest to me

Hobbies & interests: Sketching, painting, baking, playing ukulele, piano. I also really really enjoy listening to music, and going to music shops full of vinyls and records, as well as thrifting. Going to flea markets and art museums are my favorite! I also am a volleyball player in college.

Personality: I’m an ambivert, but lean more towards extrovert.

I’m bi

Stubborn

I’m a very giving person, but it kind of becomes a problem when other people take advantage of it lmao.

Forgiving

Hate to toot ma own horn but I know I’m hilarious

Open minded

I’m a pretty emotional person though at the same time, caring and empathetic to fault.

Both sfw and nsfw plz:)))

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through this. And I genuinely can’t wait to celebrate more milestones with you!! Again congrats on that 200 honey! Well deserved<333

Hey sweetie! Thank you so, so much for your kind words! This really warms my heart! <3 :) You seem like such a cool person! I hope you enjoy your little piece with Jean Kirschtein. Warnings: praising, kinda Sub!Jean, mentions of cunnilingus, mentions of toys Genre: Headcanons ♥ Jean and you are the definitions of soulmates. It's scary how much the two of you are alike. Especially when it comes to your creative hobbies. You just vibe. ♥ You guys often go on artsy dates, where you settle in a nice, quiet area and paint each other. In the end, you show off your paintings and throw all sorts of compliments at one another. "Jean, your art is amazing! I wish I could be as good as you," you exclaim with pure honesty. "Don't you dare to say shit like that! You are perfect and you know that! Otherwise, I wouldn't be dating you," he huffs in return, but can't hide the adoration in his eyes. ♥ In my head, Jean has this 80ies style going on, with patterned shirts and cream-colored pants. And don't forget the white socks! Definitely has pierced ears and wears rings all the time. He naturally loves to go thrifting with you. Your opinion means the world to him so this man will ask you about your thoughts on every single thing he plans on buying. It doesn't matter if it is an extravagant coat or just a plain t-shirt. Also, he loves to peek out of the changing room and ask for an emergency kiss. :( ♥ Now to the most important part: You will bond over the fact that you are both bi-badasses. Jean Kirschtein is bi and no one can fight me about that. It's so hard to not be visible to either the LGBTQ+ community or the straights. Above all, it is simply tiring to always explain yourself and just hear comments like "Well, you've been dating a man for a year now, you are not bi, you are straight." Like ew, fuck those stereotypes. But Jean understands you and both of you will do their best to support each other. Sometimes this romantic mofo will hold you in his arms, tightly pressed to his chest and tells you that you are heard and seen. ♥ Jean will go berzerk when watching you play. Just a hardcore fan of yours and will turn slightly into a hooligan. :') If he hears another person talking shit about the way you play he instantly screams at them. "What did you say about my girl? She would whoop your ass out there so lower your voice, you crusty ass bitch." ♥ Whenever times get hard, this man is there to catch you. Being an empath is hard, exhausting even and no one knows that better than Jean. He puts on your favorite vinyl, lights a few candles and builds a nice blanket fort. (for which he is way too tall but it doesn't matter) 100% turns you into a cozy blanket burrito and wraps his strong arms around your body. Jean would never force you to talk about your problems, but it breaks his heart when you don't. Kind of gets whiny himself then. ♥ You two are a whole comedy show. When you get into goofy mode there is no holding back, it's a downwards spiral until you hit rock bottom of dad jokes. If you are dating for a while now you will have the weirdest inside jokes that keep you tearing up. You guys always entertain a whole party with your act. ♥ If you fight, which won't happen very often, the gates of hell are open. You would never admit that you are wrong so Jean always is the one to make things up because he can't stand being away from you for more than 24 hours. ♥ Jean loves when you baby him, okay? The way you scratch his head when he is resting on your stomach and how you whisper praises in his ear makes his little heart go pitter-patter. He isn't the stereotypical definition of a man, with a lot of fears lingering in his head, but whenever Jean is with you, he feels like he actually is enough. NSFW ♥ He is a butt man. The way your cute cheeks just bounce under his touch is mesmerizing. He loves to slap it gently through the day, but won't hold back during sex. ♥ Jean also is a sucker for praises in the sheets. When you tell him how good he makes you feel, he could cum on the spot. "Damn, baby, fucking me so well. It's so deep," you mewl as your fingers dig into the delicate skin of his back. A low growl escapes from his lips as your words linger in his head.

♥ When you ride him (especially in reverse cowgirl) he is the happiest man on earth. He can just play with your ass all the time and watch his cock disappear in your aching hole. </3 But don't expect him to last very long in that position. ♥ LOVES. TO. EAT. YOU. OUT. If you sit on his face or do 69 his dick goes brrrr. You make the sweetest noises when his tongue swirls around your clit and finally dips in between your folds. It's music to his ears. Especially when you are begging for him to go slower, because you are already so overstimulated, Jean grabs you by the hips to put you closer to his face. There is no escape. ♥ I think he would also be into a threesome if you are interested in it as well. ♥ Let's be honest, artsy people are always into some kind of kinky stuff. You would be very open to trying all kinds of toys. A cock ring, a new double-ended vibrator, a paddle? You name it. ♥ Jean drops a lot of L-Bombs during sex. "Fuck, baby, I love how you take me so well. I love how you scream my name. I love you." Tears almost dare to spill over Jean's waterline as he rambled on about how perfect you are. In conclusion: You are Jean's destiny and he is well aware of that fact. He does everything to keep you close because there is no one better in this world for him.

walpurga-nacht-academy: 👑🏹🐾 for Dwyn?

Thanks for the ask! :3c

👑 what relationship does your oc have with Vil?

Dwyn holds a general respect for Vil, admiring his work ethic and performances both for school and his career. They don’t quite understand Rosa’s obsession(?) with Vil, but he’s someone Dwyn does look up to. They don’t interact much, but they’re polite and courteous to each other.

🏹 what relationship does your oc have with Rook?

While Dwyn does agree with Rook on certain aspects (Beaute), they have an intense…dislike for him. They’re constantly annoyed by his presence in some way, and disapprove of his rather unique and eccentric observations of certain characters. They’re not the type to be often outright mean to people, but Rook does annoy them enough that they snap a little with a small amount of effort. I imagine it gets worse if Rook finds out Dwyn is half-fae, since they also become a target of sorts. Overall, Dwyn doesn’t like Rook, and he easily ranks the top 3, if not the most annoying NRC student in Dwyn’s mind.

🐾 what relationship does your oc have with Ruggie?

Ok this is a little long, cause I didn’t bother making a simplified version of the whole chunk of relationship stuff that was in my docs and just copied and pasted the whole thing bc I’m lazy so enjoy lmao

The two first met unofficially during the Interschool MagiShift Tournament in their first year. Ruggie had a bit of time on the pitch due to his athletic ability and trickster-like play style. He spots Dwyn, a tall lanky first year, dressed in the WNA cheerleader outfit for NRC and seeming as though they’re out of place. They also happen to be sketching something, looking up every once in a while, and Ruggie, for all his humbleness, feels as though they’re looking at him.

They officially met around the time of the Spring Debutante Ball of that year. The quiet, awkward Dwyn had mainly been sketching Ruggie while the Savanaclaw student seemed lost among the small crowd of fellow first years and even second years who found him adorable and intriguing. Dwyn offered some reprieve due to their penchant for being alone, though Ruggie eventually went with a Rosenhex girl while Dwyn skipped attending that year.

For the most part, Dwyn and Ruggie had a comfortable friendship of sorts, albeit they were more like friendly acquaintances than friends as they were still rather distant. They exchanged the occasional letter and greeted each other at any events that both of their schools attended.

Their friendship didn’t start progressing until the Spring Debutante Ball of their second year. Dwyn had attempted to invite Ruggie, but Ruggie had already promised to go with another girl who had asked him earlier. He notices the girl become a little quieter for the days leading up to the ball, unlike the friendly, somewhat outgoing self that they’ve become over the past year. Still, he doesn’t think much of it until the ball itself.

During the Ball, Ruggie notices that Dwyn looks uncomfortable and the next thing he knows they’re gone. He wraps up his business with whoever he’s dancing with and slips out. He smells the salt and he already feels the dread building. The scent just gets stronger and he starts to notice a few drops of tears on the floor here and there. He walks just a little faster until he breaks into a small jog and reaches the gardens.

He finds Dwyn, looking disheveled. Their hair looks grossly textured with obvious marks where they tied it up for the ball and crusty bits of hairspray. Their makeup has smeared on their face and onto their arm, and their heels are haphazardly thrown off to the side. Dwyn tries to make themselves look more put together and asks Ruggie to leave them alone for a bit. Ruggie knows he should but hearing them sound so broken for once only reaffirms that Dwyn is in no state to be left alone. Ruggie doesn’t know how to comfort Dwyn, so he just ends up sitting next to them and letting them lean on him. He asks Dwyn’s little friends to get makeup remover somewhere and he gently gets rid of their makeup. They generally just stay in a comfortable silence for the rest of the night, with Ruggie singing a little folk song popular with the neighbourhood kids to lure Dwyn to sleep.

After the rather awkward scene, Dwyn goes to apologise the next day, which leads to them taking Ruggie out for donuts to make up to Ruggie. The boy doesn’t actually mind, but he’s not about to turn down free food when offered. They bond over casual talk about schoolwork, classmates, and their hobbies. One outing turns to two, then four, then regular ones whenever Ruggie’s free. They become to get closer, and Dwyn off-handedly mentions their bad experiences with the Balls for 2 years, being too self-conscious to attend the first year and their breakdown during earlier.

Later on, Ruggie plans a makeup dance of sorts for Dwyn a few weeks after the Ball. He gets some of the Savanaclaw boys as well as a few WNA girls to set up a simple setting for a recreation of the dance Dwyn didn’t get to have at the Ball. Neither of them really pay attention to the “correct” dance steps, opting for fun, impromptu random dance moves ranging from adorable to madness. They grow closer over the makeup dance, and have a comfortable friendship. Dwyn’s crush starts about this time, seeing Ruggie smiling widely underneath the moonlight as they dance together. Ruggie notices his own during another outing between the two of them when a Savanaclaw member mentioned Ruggie’s “date” and he had that in mind when he saw Dwyn laughing.

Dwyn starts having trouble confessing because their relationship with Ruggie started off with them relying on Ruggie in a way as well as money and they’re not sure how to approach the entire thing in general. Ruggie’s also having some issues because he was initially in for the money and he still kinda is in a way but he’s also developed a crush and he doesn’t want Dwyn to think he’s only in for the money.

Ruggie offers to treat Dwyn to a meal, using Leona’s money/money he got with pawning Leona’s gifts, to sort of try and progress things but there’s Dwyn who knows Ruggie’s household struggling with income (plus feeding the neighbouring kids too) so they don’t want Ruggie to have more expenses when they’re not really necessary ones. They end up with a compromise of sorts which is Ruggie offering to cook using stuff from NRC so he doesn’t have to spend a lot of madol even if he has to, while also taking some of the burden off of Dwyn BUT while their feelings are evolving into something more, their relationship barely has any progress at all.

Dwyn is starting to feel guilty because they haven’t actually been accepting anything positive Ruggie has said about them, they only seemed to do so because they don’t want Ruggie to worry (especially knowing that he saw how they were like during the ball) and they don’t want Ruggie to feel guilty for not being able to help them when they’re the one going around in circles. Ruggie sort of picked up on Dwyn’s struggle but he’s not entirely sure what’s Dwyn’s issue with themself so he doesn’t want to say anything. He eventually asks Dwyn to tell him, to which Dwyn isn’t sure how to respond and they drift apart for a bit as a result of awkwardness. Ruggie knows that Dwyn has unaddressed issues but not he is unable to help when Dwyn doesn’t want to address those issues, and they ended up drifting apart out of comfort.

Dwyn is the first to break the silence after mulling it over for weeks as they give Ruggie a poem that talks about their struggles. it’s simple enough to convey the basic idea for Ruggie to understand but they also write in more details about their problems. Ruggie goes to Leona for help at first but Leona takes one brief look at the poem and tells Ruggie to try deciphering it himself because Leona can tell the poem is clearly meant for Ruggie’s eyes only, so when Ruggie finally gets the last detail after weeks of hard work, he hands the poem back to Dwyn along with a simple, not really poetic response at the back (which is his attempt at poetry of sorts) and the two make amends.

There’s no verbal confession until months into them dating. The beginning of their romance starts with Adyna having an important study to do elsewhere. Dwyn was going to be left home alone for the holidays, and Ruggie invites them over to his house to spend the holidays together to take advantage of the opportunity.

Teasing aside, Dwyn gets along really well with everyone. Ruggie comes back and sees Dwyn having sat for hours listening to the old grandmas and grandpas of the neighbourhood telling stories about their youth. The next day he comes back to Dwyn all sweaty and glowy in the sunset from playing with the kids. The day after that it’s Dwyn helping the adults mend stuff, or helping people look put together for job interviews while on a limited budget.

One day, he comes back to Dwyn resting alongside his grandma, who’s telling stories about Ruggie and the rest of his family. he’s there hidden for long enough to hear how soft and, dare he say, infatuated Dwyn sounds, and he’s blushing for the rest of the evening while trying to act normal around Dwyn. He hears Dwyn quietly whispering little poetic prayers to his mum late at night while they think he’s asleep, since Ruggie refers to his mum as having “returned to the stars” when he mentioned it to Dwyn. He doesn’t understand half of the prayers, especially since it’s by ear and it’s not like he has a physical copy for him to write down notes on, but they commonly revolve around a trait of Ruggie’s that Dwyn admires, which comes through quite clearly.

Dwyn, on the other hand, hopes to get the approval of the neighbourhood by helping them out. they want to confess to Ruggie but they’ve been debating on how to confess. No method seems right or perfect for the occasion, and they struggle with putting their feelings into words.

Ruggie uses the last few days of the holidays to put together a nice little date under the stars where they can just relapse into the comfortable silence they’re so familiar with. they don’t say anything but the physical contact gradually evolves. they intertwine pinkies, and it becomes hand holding (like basic hand holding) and then lacing fingers together, and by the end of the night they’re cuddling, still holding hands with Ruggie’s face buried in Dwyn’s neck

Dwyn later hands over another poem which basically boils down to them confessing their love and attempting to ask Ruggie out. Ruggie has it with him all the time for the few days afterwards, mulling the offer over while simultaneously freaking out about the fact that his crush is requited. He thinks up all sort of scenarios to return the confession: taking Dwyn out on a date, planning out whole scripts of confessions and all the things he likes about Dwyn…However, the second he sees Dwyn he runs over and hugs them. Dwyn is surprised, but returns the hug, and they spend the rest of the day being fluffy and cute. While the confession wasn’t exactly confirmed, they became much closer with each other.

TL;DR: Much slow burn strangers-to-friends-to-lovers. Ghost Donuts is just all the slow burn

One Day Closer to Salem

It was another gorgeous day in Bar Harbor.  I doubt there’s ever an ugly day here - I imagine it’s beautiful in every season.  You-Know-Who  crept out before daylight again, he needed sunrise pictures of a different set of rocks and trees.  I waited until decent people were out and about before I wandered down the street. 

I crossed the Village Green...

and passed all of the pretty shops.

I popped into a couple. Okay, it was mostly the chocolate shop. I bought a treat for us.  I did browse a bit in a souvenir shop, but didn’t buy anything.  It was nice to see everyone masked, even this guy.

I walked on down to the harbor...

and just enjoyed watching the boats come and go.

I walked out onto the wharf and saw crusty lobster pots stacked up.  I don’t think these have moved in a while.

It was such a perfect day - sunny, cool, just a bit of a breeze. What a happy spot.

As I watched that boat get closer and realized it was headed right toward where I was standing, I decided to hang out and watch them unload. It was a smooth operation.  They backed a truck down the ramp and had those pots off in no time.

I spent most of the morning meandering through town, appreciating all of the pretty touches that make Bar Harbor so appealing.  The mister came back for a late lunch and later in the afternoon he went back to Jordan Pond and I sketched and painted from some of my photos.  It was an easy way to spend our last day here.  We grabbed takeout for dinner from Jalapeno’s Mexican Grill (so yummy!) and now we’re showered, in our jammies, and ready to watch the Braves bring this series to a close tonight.  Fingers crossed!  Tomorrow we’ll hop on I-95, make a pit stop for brunch with my sister (YIPPEEEE!) and then make our way to Salem. I’m so ready.

This is the weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday in Salem.

Small chance of rain on Saturday.  Know what? I don’t care.  This little witch will pop on a hat and keep going.  A rainy day is a great chance to visit the Peabody Essex Museum.  It’s fabulous.  I have a feeling that the weather will cooperate and once again my love affair with Salem will feed my soul.   Stand by for more gushing about my favorite town. XOXO,

Nancy

Warm up in a greenhouse.

When we lived in Wisconsin I was spoiled with a fabulous garden center that was open year round very close by. On a dreary winter day when I longing for spring I could go roam up and down the aisles and drool over their plants, watch the fish in the koi pond. It was so wonderfully warm and humid in there, like therapy it washed away the winter blues just enough to get me through another week. Where we live in Minnesota I have to drive much further for this experience. My choice place, though 30-40 minutes or so from me, is Green Valley Garden Center in Anoka. I had not been since November, so when my 35th birthday came at the end of March, and it was still wintery outside, I dragged my whole family up there for some much needed spring-piration. I can be sure I leave GVGC with ideas galore. I always take pictures! Of course, I had to share so I could bring y’all along with me... How great is the repetition here? I love the birdhouses as planters, too. Stepping back for a wider shot you can see how they creative they are! Look at all the wonderfully different containers at work here- metal buckets, concrete, and terra cotta- with cottagey white metal plant stands. Harmoniously. PS. Those wreaths are bird seed! This cactus display makes me want to buy multiples of the same kind and stagger them just like this-in what looks like a rain gutter propped up by bird bark, and an old window: Just beside this rain gutter was an even larger repetitive display of cacti I loved; I also can’t get enough of the concrete looking planter they cacti are in: Just a few feet away I was smitten with this door and the perfectly placed branch in front it. How great is the funnel planter begging for a crazy cactus like dog tail or rats tail? I also see a pallet used here, and the amazing old chair: Step back and you see an amazing container filled with succulents and a great old chair turned container holder. Gimme more! A closer look at the chair: This funnel was planted with a dripping pea vine and more. Love it! Specifically I love the mix of metals here- bronzey, chrome-silvery, galvanized all working together with pallet wood, birch bark, moss. If I’m going to go home and try and emulate something, I always make sure to look at the details. I loved, loved, loved this little gem: see how they used the big birch log to make the table’s feet- very informally filling the gap with a chunk of moss? Genious. I can do that. I think the wall even looks like the inside of my garage door... Here’s another pallet idea I liked. They affixed a moss basket right to it. I like this “hanging” free in the middle of the air like this- would look cool hanging from a tree, or in between the posts of a gazebo for privacy. And while we’re on the topic of vertical gardening, this succulent wall hanging is too perfect. The little piece of fungi at the bottom is THE BEST. It was warm enough inside the green house to not mind getting splashed by this fountain. I love how the hanging baskets encircle it at just the right height. In a perfect world, I would have this fountain in my front yard, and hang little containers (don’t these resemble broken walnuts?!?) from the tree above it. Sometimes its the details I take pictures of. This huge wreath makes such a great statement- I have a wreath similar to this, and have never figured out to incorporate it into my garden. I bought years ago when our old house was large enough to hang it as a Christmas wreath swathed in white lights at the roof line. Now I’m thinking it belongs dangling above a container garden somewhere. My thoughts also wandered back to a huge piece of farm equipment-the same shape- I passed on last year at a yard sale- it would make an profound statement like this, placed just right in the garden to frame something... I kept telling myself I’d have to “do” something with it, when in reality just positioning it right as a frame would have been great. My garden color of choice has always been blue, so I was a total sucker for these hanging pots, the blue screen above (with the whimsical cat perfectly placed!!), cool blue cabinet, and those crocks on the floor--- they have blue birds on them! Moving on... I love so much about this russet hued area of the garden. I love how the earth tones make the green pop. The owls are awesome. The rooster in the container surrounded by the fresh green makes me want to pull all my philodendrons outside into the shade and place them around my garden statuary. I also like the lanterns hanging, and the wire orb candle holders. I sure did squeak out loud when I saw this old tub mounted on the wall of old wood. Don’t have a barn door or wall to create this look? Make a faux barn wall! Yes! And while you’re at it, mount that rusty crusty old galvanized tub on it. Oh, and those beautiful blue hanging pots come in this mushroom color, too. I brought home one of those birds nests ferns. This may have been my favorite thing there that day. This old huge bath tub? Who would have thought to put to two dog statues in it, and surround them with succulents? I love it! I had to take this picture to remind myself to put my rabbits foot ferns in similar hanging baskets. While at Menards this spring I saw some moss covered hanging baskets I loved, and this is the perfect plant for them. I always love the premade succulent arrangements they have, too. This is just one of the tables full of succulents... Here is my bounty for the day- I already had the containers, so the plants are what I brought home: Hope you enjoyed coming to garden center with me. Now I’ll be watching the snow fall here... drinking coffee with my sketch book planning for warmer days. Happy gardening!

Hi! Can I have a ship with Txt, Enhypen and Stray kids please? I'm not very good at keeping things short, so you may have to read a bit (oops)

I'm generally a quiet and reserved person but I talk openly around my people. Kinda self centered but who isn't. I come off as intimidating and authoritarian (I am, but only in work environment). Also have anger issues, but I've never had an outburst yet (just have that rbf). Also have anxiety disorders, but I manage. I like subjects like History, geography, plant biology, literature, law and chemistry a lot, literature and history r probably my strong subjects. I like to play games and I like doing artistic things, like sing, write little proses and poems, occasionally try to move my crusty legs to dance and sketch. Astrology is a fascinating subject to me solely because of it's history and accuracy at times. I like brewing beverages like tea & coffee a lot. I enjoy baking too. Observant, so I usually know who's the wrong person to get involved with, I'm good at reading people but still don't have friends :'( . I always listen to my parents (even tho I'm at the age to move out) but I've scolded them a few times because they were being narrow minded. I've been told that I'm extremely righteous yet sweet? My friends say I help people and empathize only when I know what's been done to them is wrong. My friends and family love my humor and I'm adept at memes so I guess there's that. I stay at home. Always. The last time I went out of my yard and onto the street was last to last year. But I'm also good at sports, so when i see and empty ground or court, it's mine now. Also? (Forgive me my friend is beside me) I'm apparently the type to smack a bitch who's being toxic and speaks ignorantly (fren says I've done that but i don't remember) Oh lastly I dislike ignorant people like it's okay for those who genuinely don't know and want to learn something but those who don't know and still speak shit, nope- I debate the hell out of them. I'm very practical but also philosophical, (because humans evolving just like that is sus.) I like aesthetic decorations and stuff but i think it's a waste of space and money and frankly resources too.

That's it I think, thanks in advance!

Hi. :) I'm so sorry for the long wait. I mainly just do ships on the weekend. I still hope you enjoy this. <3
