#everything's trash but it's okay

Things I was grateful for in April 2023: An Anthropologie monogram mug, Sprinkles’ Chocolate Bunny cupcakes, a Frostbeard Studios Oxford Library candle, handmade Haricot Vert Picto-Charms earrings, LUSH Shade solid perfume, teaching Prehistoric–Modern art history, Mermaids by Florence + the Machine, the Dungeons & Dragons movie, Sour Patch Kids (my go-to movie snack), Melt liquid lipstick in Ex, LUSH Lip Service lip balm, a LUSH facial mask brush, a LUSH Don’t Look At Me face mask, a ColourPop So Fly eyeshadow palette, LUSH Ultrabland makeup remover, Everything’s Trash But It’s Okay by Phoebe Robinson, practicing restorative yoga after a perfect Sunday afternoon with @parrnesan, an American Eagle cut-out romper, and Katie & Kelly wedges.

My toxic trait is finishing a book I loved and then immediately logging onto Goodreads to read all the negative reviews for it until I doubt my own taste in literature

I keep scrolling my dash in search of "the most hopeful post to reblog before bed" and for each hopeful post I find there's another reminding me of why hope is needed.

Instead of scrolling in an endless loop, here's a picture of my budgie being cute and some adorable facts about him.

- His name is Pond both because he's blue, and because he used to have a flockmate named Lilly. Together, they were Lilly Pond. I'm probably gonna name his next flockmate(s) something that also fits the theme.

- I've had him for about a year and while he still doesn't trust me enough to perch on my hand or sit on my desk (I got a special mini-bird tree just so he could), he has a perch that juts out from the front of his cage and he'll climb as far onto the edge of it as possible so he can be close to me while still staying a safe distance.

- When he does go to the end of this perch, he'll increase the volume of his chirps until I tell him he did a good job and is being very brave. Then he'll tap his feet, wag his tail, and strut back and forth on the perch proudly.

- He's not a strong flyer, but when he does practice flying he'll do low-altitude laps around the room until he's ready for me to help him return to his cage. When I notice he's ready, I'll take the tiny hand perch I got for him, hold it up to him, and ask "Taxi?" He sometimes wants to challenge himself, but when he's tired from too many laps or he wants to hang out close ne for a few seconds he'll gladly hop on the taxi perch.

- When I feed him, I make a show of it so he gets excited and wants to eat. Most days, he'll tap his feet and get hyped and then wait for me to bring my own breakfast to my desk. He won't eat until I'm eating, and we'll hang out together having our respective meals.

- When I cover his cage and tell him good night, he'll wait until he's sure I'm done speaking and then give me the smallest and quietest chirp of any he makes all day. It's his specific "good night" chirp, and it reassures me that he's okay every time I hear it.

- Often, when I've been out of my room for awhile and I come back, he'll hear me say "I'm back" and wag his tail to greet me. I was initially worried this didn't mean the same thing as it does with dogs or ducks, but I confirmed the type of tail wagging he does genuinely means he's happy to see me.

- I love him. He is my shy little bird son, my skittish flockmate, my distantly affectionate friend, and he's great. I hope he keeps getting braver and happier and more fulfilled the longer he's with me, and lives a long budgie life.

[lylethewaterguy]

Idk man… maybe you guys are just overly negative. Have you tried enjoying something for once?

[divinebunnii]

some people really need to realize that just because everything is available to you on the internet does not mean you have to force yourself into every area of the internet

it’s okay that some things just aren’t for you, aren’t meant for you, aren't made for you. it’s okay that some communities and groups aren’t meant for you, and that doesn’t mean you should sit in the misery of trying to stay somewhere you don’t like or disagree with while actively trying to make others that enjoy / appreciate that something to feel bad / guilty / also miserable by projecting your negativity into that space.

something i love about dread is that the more i play it the more it becomes apparent that Raven Beak NEEDS her validation. he pulls out all the stops (calls her "daughter", tells her it's her destiny to pave the way for his rule) but in the end samus is literally just doing her thing while RB's entire plan precariously hinges on her. really highlights how much of an egomaniac he is as well to be so 100% convinced that This is her purpose

Fëanorian Week 2023, Day 4: Caranthir

Oh, Caranthir, what do I do with you?  Every year I get to him and go “Oh crap not this guy again” because we really don’t know what his interests or motivations were.  I gave him short hair for visual variety (since his complexion doesn’t come across in monochrome stone) and left it with that.
