Am I the only one who feels spoiled by reading Tamora Pierce as a child and then never finding something that hit quite the same? She really had it all. One of the only authors I’ve seen do multiple generations well (because the previous generations aren’t just offed or all of their progress backtracked). Ambient vs scholarly magic systems is still one of the coolest magic systems to this day. The friendships are perfect and just the right amount of romance to make it fun. Redemption stories that fit the characters and don’t make them perfect angels even as they grow for the better. Tragic regression stories that haunt the characters (and me).

#Tamora Pierce #asking my mom if I could buy the Alana box set with a birthday gift card even though it didn’t cover the whole price #and then proceeding to read the first two books within two dayy #core memory of childhood #and a special shout out to Jonathan of Conte and George Cooper shaping my definition of morally gray forever

Gods I love Joe! I can’t wait for Grian to find his secret santa and his reaction! (Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get some of Magic/Cherry Mountain reacting to it to)

#can’t believe this giraffe is back #I’m so glad Joe went with Skizz’s idea #it’s beautiful #plus the toe nail box gift cards #it’s the joe hills difference #hermitcraft #hermitcraft season 10 #joe hills #skizzleman #grian

#it has been almost a month since Christmas #a month since I told my dad I would not be seeing him for Christmas #and instead I emailed (and then sat and refreshed and refreshed waiting for a response)#and I send him a box of gifts (of things I enjoyed that I thought he would too. things I wanted to share with him)#and a card i spent hours and hours making #and almost a month past christmas #he hasn't even sent me a card.#and #it's not that i want anything #but #it was a terrible day #(because. you know. i looked at the news)#and there was a package on my doorstep #and i didn't know what it was #and i was super conflicted #because i didn't want it to be a gift from him #didn't want to feel grateful amidst this bullshit #but then I opened it and it was something I purchased #just arrived a few months early #and it sunk in that it's been almost a month #and i don't want anything #but i want him to care #i want him to try #i want him to mean it when he says he loves me #i want him to give me something to hold on to as a reason to believe him

I love the gift boxes. I ordered two together: the one with a figurine token (posting later) and one with a coin-like token (see above), and I don't know if it was a coincidence or just thoughtfulness on the part of the Amazon packer, but both ended up being Tentomon.

I firmly believe that a paperback book should never cost $20

#i need to stop doing hypothetical online shopping just bc I have a gift card that I’m itching to spend #autumn rambles #I was looking at the poppy war box set and I was like why is it $60??? that’s $20 a piece! and they are in fact worth $20 a piece

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

my back really hates enthusiasm. woke up not eager but ready to get started on multiple things at once and it really said 'oh? you want to be able to move without pain? fuck you'

But fuck my back say I, bc I can work on the grocery pick up while laying down. Check mate, you... spine.

(turns out nothing i can think of to say/type to shame my spine sounds effective. it all just sounds vaguely clinical lmao)

#text post #brain woke up in a weird place too and im trying to push past that #it's not that i have A Lot to do today it's that the timing needs to be mindful #if i start laundry too late then that fucks up lunch #in between that i need to get grocery pick up finished and figured out and start on prolific and cloud #then to check on data annotation stuff #i should at least take some pictures to post for the side gig #and i need to finish up the holiday cards and gift boxes for my family bc those need to be shipped out asap #...maybe my back is trying to give me a gift lmao. i can attempt productivity so long as I'm also laying flat on my back #...my laptop can be brought down to sit in my actual lap so really the survey sites/grocery/pictures stuff could be done here #and the cards are closeish by #so then it's just laundry and gift boxes to do while physical moving #FUCK AND DISHES. i almost fuckin forgor them. the dish #...im gonna wind up doing laundry tomorrow aren't i. im not actually getting that done today and i should probably accept that now #not gonna tho! gonna be mad abt it later but i really should have started laundry #before i let myself lay down and that's on me

opacho is not someone gyutaro would call a friend - he doesn't have friends. in fact, if he had it his way, he'd spend a majority of his endless existence eating and sleeping, though he'd never see an ounce of its rewards. learning of this holiday and it's ridiculous nature, he doesn't have much interest in knowing that he, like usual, will not benefit from it. instead, he focuses on the intense yearning to take and take before others can see their rewards. he has little manners and rarely thanks people - unless it's sarcastic or filled with disdain. yet, he knows opacho has done more than a decent job at baiting humans - all for the sake of a hashira showing up. the gift he has in hand is nothing short of disappointing. another human trinket that makes little sense - silky fabrics that are colorful and too bright for his exhausted eyes. daki could use it, but he knows she'll complain about the color. with paper torn and a broken box in hand, he surveys the contents before idly shoving it towards opacho, grunting slightly. "guess you've earned some type of reward for all the food you've lured in." it's the best happy holiday opacho will receive.

The evening was quiet, the faint hum of insects being the only sound as Opacho sat cross-legged on the engawa, staring blankly at the stars as her thoughts drift back to her earlier conversation with Gyutaro. It was frustrating to explain who Santa was and the concept of Christmas to a creature that's lost its humanity. Not that it really interested him, she supposes. It was probably for the best anyways, as he didn't seem to care about anything else much beyond his sister.

The demon's sudden approach pulls the child from her thoughts. She stares at the battered box that was suddenly thrust at her then blinks up at him in confusion before cautiously taking it, crumpling the torn paper as she pulls out a hexagonal patterned orange and yellow colored fabric. Opacho turns it over in her hands trying to make sense of what it was—a ribbon perhaps? Maybe a scarf?

Was he giving her this because of their conversation? He probably took it from someone then. Opacho hesitates briefly, unsure if she should even thank him or take the present, but she still feels somewhat compelled to at least acknowledge the gesture. Tis the season and all. "Oh... uhm… thanks?”

@starchxsn

#starchxsn #opacho || [ask] || oracle bell #checking off another box on the bingo card! gyutaro giving opacho a present #I'm dying to know where or who he got this from. ljdsalksa just imagining Gyutaro stealing some other child's gift to give to Opacho #ruining christmas for everybody just like he promised smh

throwing my christmas money at dragon age books and calling it research

#got a lot of amazon gift cards so :') I am gently screaming that 2 books were over $100 #granted the World of Thedas box set is 2 I suppose #and the other is the collection of the comics so I guess that counts as 5 books #anyways should have that stuff in a week to devour #which will hopefully help me do some more fic research lmao #does mean a proper fic drop is less likely to happen Maybe sorry guys
