i think kissing a girl would fix me
#I really want to have like. a low stakes secret summer romance out in the country. does that make sense#like we kiss by the fire pit out in the backyard. illuminated by the soft orange glow of the fire and the fireflies around us#you wrap your arms around me and your jacket smells like smoke and there's still a bit of roasted marshmallow on my cheek. you wipe it away#and when our parents find out they are not angry. they merely welcome us with an 'it's about time. I'm so happy for you'#bird likes to chirp#not to get soulful and yearning tonight but idk. it's something I've been thinking about a lot

OLNF Week Day 5: Sci-fi
this was heavily inspired by those alien cat memes. in this au, i like to think nadine and cheyomi would be siblings. they were hatched from an egg or something. incubator buddies?? :3c
wyd if two aliens pull up to golden grove in a space shuttle?? @olnfweek2024
these two are on their first mission on earth to conduct research on the local environment. they’re not supposed to interact with the humans but they’re just so fascinating. they can’t help it if they watch the locals from afar (especially two particularly interesting individuals) and are incidentally spotted…. oops.
nadine and cheyomi panic at first thinking they blew their mission but to their surprise, the two humans approach them. they declare a new side mission! observe (befriend) the two humans!
#olnf week 2024#nadine and cheyomi try to stop getting distracted from the mission by qiu and tamarack challenge: impossible#me when im an alien coming to earth for the first time and the local human neighbors catch me collecting worms in their backyard (nadine)#cheyomi is mesmerized by birds btw. she finds them so fascinating. i like to think she gets seen by tamarack as she was in some tree#observing the birds up close and personal#then both chey and nadine are like…oh man….how are we gonna explain this to the overlords…#but then also….oh my gnarp#humans are soooo cute#haha what if….we touched phalanges…. with the human neighbors jkjk#unless??#our life now and forever#our life#tamarack baumann#qiu lin#our life mc#cheyomi hayashi#nadine espinoza#my art <3#my ocs <3#oc x canon

I’ve been skimming through fluff fics lately, and a fun little realization popped up in my mind. It’s not often people talk about the downs in a potential relationship with the twst boys. For the sake of a more realistic perspective, I’ve got to ask. Who do you think is most likely to unintentionally hurt Yuu and why? - 🦐
Hello my shrimpy friend! So nice to hear from you, hope you're doing well. Fan fic in general isn't very focused on portraying the negative parts of a relationship because it's a form of escapism. People don't necessarily want to picture themselves in a bad spot in a relationship if they already are in one in real life, yk?
That being said making mistakes is part of any relationship so I do have some thoughts! They/them used for Yuu as always, this is angst so proceed with care.
Azul- he doesn't have the healthiest mental framework surrounding friendships, and you do need to be friends with your SO to have a solid relationship. An actual relationship with Yuu would probably have a bumpy start as you two try to feel out what the dynamic is actually supposed to be. Take it slow and everything will be fine, but there might be some hurt feelings along the way. And a lot of assumptions from other people about your relationship that don't help either of you.
LEONA- he's a rude ass bitch who doesn't have great manners I am so sorry to this man. To be fair though I think a lot of that rudeness would be something that would take place before the actual relationship, because I firmly believe if it's pointed out to Leona by his partner that he has communication issues he's more than willing to work on that with them. He would be a good boyfriend! It's just all the conversations up to the actual going out that's painful and might ruin what he wants before he actually gets it.
Riddle- so I don't think Riddle's treatment of Yuu is what might hurt them exactly, his issues as always have to do with his mother. He needs to figure out exactly how he wants to deal with his childhood trauma and his adult relationship with her, but that's going to take a lot of time and personal growth. Mrs. Rosehearts seems like the type to try and continue running her son's life after he graduates so I can't see her treating Riddle's partner well. Going no contact with an emotionally abusive parent is really hard for their children to do, Riddle needs love and support but the journey can be emotionally draining for the person giving that support.
Sebek- again with the family thing. His parents sound like wonderful people but his Grandfather seems to only like his grandchildren because they're half fae and still actively hates his son in law. I can't see him treating Yuu any better, which I could see being very draining since Sebek and his grandpa are very close. It could also be a chance for Baul to change a bit, which would be nice.
Cater and Idia- I'm making them share a spot because similarly to Leona I think the major hurts would be caused pre-relationship, but unlike him I don't see their communication issues as being something that would affect the relationship in the same way going forward. Cater has a lot of insecurities and can be a bit shallow, but he is a good friend so once he accepts Yuu as a safe space to speak openly and honestly I don't see them as having too many issues. Idia is also shown to be very open and honest with Ortho, his self hatred, temper, and inferiority/superiority complex just get in the way of him letting anyone else in.
In general, a lot of the twst guys have communication issues which is something people can work through, but would still cause some pain. Something to think about I suppose σ( ̄、 ̄=)
#<3 asks#twisted wonderland x reader#twst x reader#i don't think sebek is “bad” for his internalized racism i'm just#not crazy with how willing people are to dismiss grandparent's racism because they're ok with their grandkids#they only are ok with their grandkids because those kids are THEIRS they still don't see the other parent as a person or worthy of respect#... i get kind of heated about this because i've had some personal experience within my extended family with this so i find it disgusting#my grandpa wasn't cute when he was being racist to my cousins and refusing to talk to my dad when he bought a korean made dishwasher#baul isn't cute for narrowing his grandson's world view to his backyard idk#sebek deserves to be seen as a whole person by his society and his grandpa yk#loving people by halves is unacceptable to me

I went to my first plant swap and man. It was WILD.
Keep in mind I heard about the plant swap a little over 24 hours before it was happening. I have no plants to exchange, I barely even have seedlings yet. But I do have a bunch of seeds so I decide to roll up and see what I can do.
Its from 2 to 5. I show up at 2:12 and its mostly houseplants. But the local library branch has a tent and they’re letting people check out some gardening books they brought if they have a library card on them!
So I checked out “Seedswap: The gardener’s guide to saving and swapping seeds” by Josie Jeffery!
Woohoo!
(They also told me that if I want the library to set up seed libraries I should email showing interest because a lot of librarians have suggested it but public interest is needed 👀 special reminder to email/contact your local library about adding seed libraries if you haven’t got one already!)
I considered leaving but I decide to hang around and see if anyone else comes around with stuff that’s more my fancy (no disrespect to people who like houseplants but I have a 99% killrate with them and they’re just not my vibe) and
Y’all
I obtained a Boxcar tomato, a Blackberry Lily, a variegated pepper, a hibiscus cutting, loofah seeds, okra seeds, and FOUR (4!!!!) peach tree seedlings!!!
HELLO??????
I spent like 6 bucks total (1 on a peach tree seedling, 5 on the pepper) and the rest was just seed trades (or the peach tree lady just… giving me more peach trees for being nice. Be nice to the elderly you might get peach trees out of it.) I was there for like an hour and a half TOPS.
(I had to pot up the peach tree seedlings myself but this is still a W in my book lets see if they survive)
So uh
WOOHOO
#outdoor gardening#ani rambles#plant swap#anis garden 2024#FOUR PEACH TREE SEEDLINGS HELLO????? HELLO#she was like ‘idk i was thinking id trade them or sell them for like a dollar’ so i got the littlest one in exchange for i think it was#gazanias???? or canterbury bells. or maybe both.#then i was like ‘oh its teeny tho’ so i paid a dollar for one and she was like HERES TWO INSTEAD and I’m like AAA#and she was hoping to find the tomato lady but the tomato lady left but I had Two of the tomatoes so I was like ‘oh you can have one of mine#because followers may know I currently have TWENTYTHREE TOMATOES IN MY BACKYARD RN#and shes like ‘oh youre so sweet heres a 4th peach seedling anyways im going home now im tired bye’#the peach gods have smiled upon me and it was in the form of an old white lady in a gray sweater and a blue sunvisor

I know the witchcraft and murder rumors surrounding the building were obviously about Snake Lady at the 4th floor but come on, the person who used to live in the 2nd floor seems kinda sus as well. Like, there's a recipe for an invisibility potion in their apartment:
And, what do you know, there's an INVISIBLE DUDE JUST STANDING AROUND ELENA'S APARTMENT!!
Come on, you can't tell me these two things aren't related somehow! This doesn't even have to be a magic-related situation. For all we know, this could be another Unwanted Experiment type of problem where a scientist performed experiments (there was a lab rat after all) but during the process of moving out they forgot to keep an eye on whoever invisible dude is and just stayed on the 5th floor
#dark dome#don't get me started on the former resident of the 3rd floor#I *WILL* FIND OUT WHY YOU HAD A PUPPET OF REN LOCKED AWAY IN YOUR APARTMENT#The tenant on the 1st floor seems to be the only normal person in the whole building#(Assuming they had nothing to do with the ghost kid in their backyard of course)#Also the possibility that Laura Kay Jim and Bobby could just be part of the Patreon raffle winners was discussed over the subreddit#So I'm just gonna hold off of making theories about them too

"I don't know that person and I'm never going to see them again so why should I care if I make their life as a disabled person worse by being purposefully loud in public where a disabled person cannot just leave" I hate this website. I hate how OP can clearly state "if you are able to not make the noise but do anyway" and randos will be like "actually it is racist to be misophonic and have sensory issues" this website makes me want to fucking scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want decent fucking advocacy I just want to be able to exist in public without having a migraine AND a meltdown combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but people don't even recognize or understand how fucking bad life w misophonia can be. "just get earplugs" what if you fell into an industrial-sized blender? I legitimately think telling a misophonic person to get earplugs/headphones is a microaggression because they don't even understand how fucking. limiting. that is. and also how dangerous it is to HAVE to be completely unaware of your surroundings?????? just to get by??????? this is how people don't hear fire alarms, or other emergency alerts. or someone breaking into their home, or traffic........ a dozen other things too. not to mention your ears get SO fucking raw after wearing earplugs for a while (these people have probably never wore them for more than a few hours) I genuinely have gotten blisters and been unable to wear earplugs bc of that even though the plugs and my ears both were kept clean. and earplugs don't even drown out all of the triggering noises......... especially not bass like can we please just accept that our world is an overstimulating and hostile one and not everything and everyone needs to be as loud as we currently are please and thank you.
#mad scrawl#also full offense I do not think having the loudest bassiest subwoofers you can find and blaring them inside of your apartment#so that it shakes your neighbor's walls and they can hear it#is a part of ANY culture#I'm tired of that excuse!#idgaf if you have a backyard bbq just keep the music a reasonable volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just#the lack of being considerate#and the way anytime someone suggests you ought to be considerate they're shot down for it#makes me feel iunsane#I really really do not like. (gestures) anything I don't think

can you make a crossover fic with asoue? like where the baudelaires go to live with mr benedict
also constance and sunny would be besties
Okay-
I don't think I have it in me to write a fill asoue and tmbs crossover, especially cause I know for a fact that a couple of very talented people have already written some truly lovely fics for this exact cocept, but this prompt is definitely making Me Think.
Cause like. You have have this trio of kids. Maybe even six kids, if the triplets are with them, and they are tired. They are traumatised. They have been through one ordeal after another and they are so disillusioned that they're holding onto eachother with nails dug in tight. They're a script that has been written into the marrow of their bones and the Baudelaires have accepted that their lives are tragic ones. No one is gonna be there for them but themselves, their books and their smarts and their teeth.
And then they show up at Mr. Benedict's house.
And the Benedicts are an eclectic and odd bunch. There are so many of them, and between the lot of them its so easy to find people who love books and create machines and make excellent food. I can see Klaus's fingers twitching in anticipation to read a new book as soon as Reynie has finished it, and Violet making little mechanical contraptions for Kate's bucket, and Sunny sitting in the kitchen with Moocho all quite happily.
But that's gonna come later. Cause they're tired, and they're wary. And they've had guardians who were kind and clever and good before. And they died, quite horribly, and it just seems safer to not get too attached.
I think it's going to make a difference, the fact that The Mysterious Benedict Society kids are there and they clearly trust these adults. That, or the Baudelaires (and Quagmires, if they're there too), are gonna watch them with a bit of jealousy and longing fostered into their chests until they eventually realise all that love is waiting for them, too.
(I can see them making a quiet pack among themselves, these unfortunate orphans, to run away before harm befalls these grown ups and ruins the lives of more kids. They wouldn't wish this existence on anyone.)
If I'm honest, though. If I'm really honest. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of an ASOUE and TMBS crossover is one Number Two.
Number Two, who is peculiar and never sleeps and is incredibly talented and who was never listened to growing up.
Maybe Number Two had her own adventures with VFD. Her own unfortunate childhood where she was thrown into a world of grown ups all trying to get the upper hand, where no one was really good or evil and justice was not wrought. Maybe she dreams of her own snakes, and her own fires, and a bad beginning that steamrolled into a malady of a middle and then an erroneous ending.
Like. I can just see it, in my mind. Number Two's justified rage on their behalf, the way she can look at them as a grown up who made it through a childhood of being ignored, and can empathize. She knows how ugly it can feel, to be that desperate and that clever and that lonesome when all the adults in your life who should have been there to help you just fail you abjectly. The way she would tell them never again and mean it fullheartedly.
(The way she can tell them, hey, you'll get through this, and it won't erase all the hurt and the pain but you'll get to be okay anyway, and mean it.)
It's a family who loves Truth. Who holds it as an ideal close to their chests. I think that these unfortunate orphans could use some of that.
(I want Olaf to go to jail, in this AU. I want him to come to the door cleverly disguised, and I want Number Two to smartly, with no hesitation, punch him in his smug face. I want Milligan to come in with his cuffs and his agent connections, and I want Olaf taken away. I want the Baudelaires to never have to see him again, for him to be a sad pitiful man in a cell who never gets the fame and fortune he so desperately desired to fill up that empty hole in his chest with.)
The Bauldalaires make Pasta Puttanesca, a few months in. Mr. Benedict takes them shopping for ingredients- they take a couple of detours to get books and invention supplies, but that's only to be expected. Rhonda offers some tips and tricks that she's picked up over the years with Violet while carefully chopping the onions, and Sticky excitedly chatters with Klaus about a newly published research paper from one of their favourite authors. Constance and Sunny - who are best friends, and appreciate the other's intelligence- happily discuss favourite foods and peculiarities of being young.
The whole family raves over it, delighting at the handmade pasta and complimenting the sauce. Miss Perumal, Moocho, and the Washingtons take care of the after dinner clean up. The kids are shooed upstairs, laughing and talking over one another and stumbling slightly into eachother's space in the narrow halls. None of them mind, not really.
They have they're whole lives ahead of them, after all. It's going to be okay.
#tmbs#the mysterious benedict society#a series of unfortunate events#asoue#violet baudelaire#klaus baudelaire#sunny baudelaire#my writing#tmbs fanfic#i am THINKING of them#they are. rotating#these poor kids#i love this book series and i love the TV show#but it makes me sad#and the idea of giving them grownups who love them and will take care of them like the deserve#is actually kind of everything to me#honestly i can sort of see the tmbs kids finding Lemony Snicket#Lurking in their backyard#and he seems So Sad#that they genuinely assume he's been brainswept#and then he gets swept into the adoption spree#if i ever were to write a crossover#it would definitely be a young number two#and her adventures with the VFD#maybe she and snicket know eachother#or have heard of each other at the very least#hmmmmm

Not really a puppy update, but kind of one anyways:
Over the course of this year, our neighborhood has been increasingly unsafe. From very occasional incidents over the years we've been here, to multiple shootings and murders within a quarter mile of our house, just in the past couple months we're at 7-8 incidents. I even was outside about 20ft away from people shooting at each other in their cars (terrifying). Our county has had a couple city council sessions to try and address the violence. But, tbh, I just don't think I'm able to feel safe here. Which is to say, essentially, in the hopefully nearer-than-not future, we will be moving.
As much as I badly want Misty to have a sister and as disappointing as it is to have the ideal timeline disrupted, future miss felony probably exists at least a year, maybe even two, away. Unless some maybe maybes happen. On the brightside, a non-negotiable is a bigger yard/more land, so the pup(s) will be very happy with their zoom space.
#disappointment is such a difficult emotion for me#i really really wanted to get the second pup between misty turning 2 and 3. and now she's about to be 3 and the timing is just not great#focusing on the many many house projects we want to wrap up and the happy thought of a better#and more functional outdoor space for us all#the mosquitos are so bad here that we cant even spend time in the yard#so hopefully a year or so from now we'll be able to hang out outside with pups and they'll have room to run all out if they like#and the chickens will get a big coop upgrade too#anyways anyways#mostly just venting some lack of puppy sadness#also!!! at 1130ish AM a few days ago someone was driving around shooting at dogs outside!!! shocked more by that than everything else tbh#we are supervised backyard or straight into the car only until the police find whoever that is
