Plant bee-friendly flowers.

“Bee engaged with Youth”. World Bee Day 2024. 

Bees help your garden thrive, so treat them well by growing some or all of these bee-friendly plants. Which came first, the bee or the bee balm? While the question may be interesting to contemplate, it illustrates the vital partnership between plant and pollinator, and how one needs the other in order to survive.

Bee populations are declining rapidly in many regions of the country, with habitat loss being a primary cause. As gardeners, we can do our part to help keep these important pollinators well fed. Growing a diverse variety of flowering plants can satisfy the appetites of various bee species. Along with planting lots of flowers that attract bees, we can also improve the environment for bees by creating a safe haven in our gardens that they can call home.

Morals• morally light/pure

Courting• None

Home• Mount Olympus 

Mortal or immortal • immortal 

Fact• Historically she is supposed to be the first deity offered to in a ritual due to being the goddess of fire, she's the oldest Olympian, She is spat out last by Kronos so she is also the youngest, she shares her seat with Diyonisus, she did not give it up, she receives a share of every sacrifice/prayer to the gods, and she is commonly seen alongside with Hermes, I would recommend putting their alters close together.

But a neo-pagan sets aside 26 December – 22 January as a month devoted to Hestia.

Status• Virgin theoi goddess.

What disrespects her turning away people at your home (she is a goddess of hospitality and it was seen as disrespectful to her to do so.)

Prayers• 

Historical-

Holy Queen of Sanctity, we hymn you, Hestia, whose abiding realm is Olympus and the middle point of earth and the Delphic laurel tree! You dance around Apollo’s towering temple rejoicing both in the tripod’s mantic voices and when Apollo sounds the seven strings of his golden phorminx and, with you, sings the praises of the feasting gods. We salute you, daughter of Kronos and Rhea, who alone brings firelight to the sacred altars of the gods; Hestia, reward our prayer, grant wealth obtained in honesty; then we shall always, dance around your glistening throne.

For the lost -

Blessed Hestia, the first and the last, and the always flame. May your light burn bright and strong, May your prayers be those of respect and love, May you guide the lost, And give to those who have nothing. I give thanks to you, Hestia, for all that you have done And continue to do.

For people with intrusive thoughts -

I ask Hestia, the kind goddess, to help those who feel down. May they find comfort and peace inside of their homes and inside their own minds. Protect them for their destructive thoughts, and be the safe place they need so much

A prayer for homeles—

In Hestia’s name, may you always have a home and a roof over your head. May you always be comfortable and warm with a full belly. May you always be in good spirits and good company, never knowing the pervading loneliness that envelopes the soul.

Morning 

Blessed Hestia, Fill this home with your light and bounty, As the day fills it with golden sunshine.

Evening

Glorious Hestia, Let your hearth fire warm this house, As night draws her shadowed cloak over it now.

Blessings of the kitchen-

Hestia bless my little kitchen, I love it’s every nook And bless me as I do my work, Wash pots and pans and cook. May the meals that I prepare, Be seasoned from above, With thy blessings and thy grace, But most of all thy love

@cxnscience​ liked for a starter from Bashful!

Sleepy hated bugs. He was always mumbling about how they interrupted his sleep. Dope loved them, and he always seemed to be catching something new in jars to bring inside.

Bashful had never paid much attention to them before living with his brothers, but it was hard not to pick up a thing or two from them. Dopey especially loved showing off bugs he found, which was why Bashful found the flash of something darting near their fireplace rather odd.

He leaned in for a closer look, trying to figure out what was so strange about the bug he’d seen out of the corner of his eyes, when he let out a gasp and took a step back.

“A bug wearing clothing?” He rubbed his eyes for a second, before glancing back at the hearth. “My goodness. How could someone make such tiny clothing?” Bashful was imagining Dopey somehow sewing and putting an outfit on a tiny cricket. After all, he’d never met a bug that could talk before.

Theory: Kris Dreemurr's biological parents are Homer and Marge Simpson

What went wrong?

The two didn't want to keep the kid (especially not after having 3 kids already..), didn't even bother naming them, especially Homer, so.. he released the kid into the wild. About 6 years later, this Simpson kid was adopted by the Dreemurrs, and named Kris.

Evidence:

While younger, Homer Simpson sported dark brown shoulder-length hair with a similar bang style as Kris's, as well as having the exact same cowlick at the back. Homer had very Kris-like hair, but that's not all. Homer has a round face, similar to Kris. Homer also has the same goldenrod skin tone that Kris has. Homer even had a tendency to wear sweaters, much like how Kris does. Last, but not least, Kris shares Homer's appetite, even eating things that aren't food, even being guilty of having a sweet tooth, such as craving chocolate or pie. Also.. Let's face it, Kris even has the same brand of stupid thoughts and tendencies that Homer does.

(Look at Kris and tell me they don't look like a Simpson.)

But Homer isn't the only one whom Kris shares similarities with. Kris, much like Marge, has an interest in baking. Kris also has the same kind of common sense as Marge, but often directly ignores them. Also, while Kris has stupid thoughts and tendencies, that doesn't mean Kris is stupid themselves, nor do they have the lack of competence that Homer does.. so Kris is at least as intelligent and skillfully competent as Marge. Kris even inherits Marge's kindness and caring heart. Kris doesn't show it much, but they do care about people, and have a soft side. Kris even shares the emotional side of them with both Homer and Marge. Lastly, Kris is notably thinner than Homer, meaning Kris inherited Marge's frame.

If that isn't enough, look at the similarities between Kris and the Simpson kids! Kris is very mischevious and has prankster tendencies, much like Bart. Kris even has a musical interest and talent, very similar to that of Lisa. While Lisa plays the saxophone, Kris plays the piano. Lastly, Kris even shares the same love of weaponry as Maggie! Whereas Maggie prefers firearms, Kris chooses the blade.

Edit: I just realized, in the 8 bit couch gag, they all look almost exactly like Kris, minus the hair and clothes!

Conclusion: Kris is a Simpson.

[oknowkiss]

thank you for tagging me in @skeptiquewrites @bluebutter-art @short666bread @emmalovesdilemmas — you are all unknowingly encouraging my work procrastination, and thus are getting long answers.

relationship status: single and my DMs are open (jk… or am i… ?? find out!!) // but for real, i moved across the country last year and it has been a ROUGH time since then (unexpected family loss, covid, elderly pet troubles, general world stuff). i’ve convinced myself i’m in too dramatic of a headspace for dating seriously at the moment but i think the actual answer is i just don’t want to! i am the epitome of an only child in that i really value both my independence and being left alone.

favorite color: yellow, but specifically a goldenrod/mustardy yellow.

favorite food: i have been thinking about this for a very long time, because there are so many things i LOVE but what is my FAVORITE you know??? i think i’ll have to go with… savory - any type of rice & bean & cheese & tortilla combo you can come up with, specifically when it’s slathered with avocado and green tomatillo salsa. sweet - lemon meringue pie

song stuck in my head: the library/museum song from stardew valley. i’ve been playing stardew for a little bit every day as a way to calm down in this month of Every Obligation I’ve Ever Had Happening At Once, and sometimes i trot my character over to the library just to hear this song and breathe deeply.

last thing i googled: english > catalan translator. this is for a dron/semi-dronarry fic i am working on :)

time: 11:39 AM PST

dream trip: france for the tour (de france). i’ve been planning and having to reschedule this trip since 2019 due at first to my own logistical failure and then every year since then due to covid. on the plus side, the delay has given me beaucoup time to learn and continue to be wildly mediocre at french. i also really want to go to patagonia and tour around chile and peru, and i want to go back to iceland in a campervan for the northern lights. i have a lot of dreams okay!!

no pressure tagging in @sweet-s0rr0w @geesenoises @sorrybutblog @3lvendork @makeitp1nk if you so desire!

Alright. *crack knuckles*

-Soul Traits' scents!

As i made a recent post about the scents, its now time to say the scents of each soul traits!

As i also explained in that post, the scent depends of the soul type of magic!

Lets begin:

Determination: red fruits (strawberries, apples, etc..), red flowers (roses, orchid, etc...) and sometimes coal.

Integrity: waves/rain, blue fruits (blueberries, grapes, etc...) and new books.

Patience: blue/cyan flowers (iris, bellflower, etc...), oolong tea and wet dirt.

Bravery: coffee beans/coffee, metal, fruits (orange, carrot, etc...), cinnamon and sometimes gunpower.

Perseverance: fruits (cherry, beetroot, etc...), purple flowers (lavender, lily, etc...), new pencil colors, markers and mint.

Kindness: grass, trees, paint, fresh pie, hot chocolate and lemon/lime.

Justice: sand, campfire, pencil's wood and yellow flowers (sunflowers, goldenrod, etc...)

And again, these are the options of the scents, its all up to you which one to choose!

I... maybe have new traits too... 👀✨

For an Elucien prompt, Elain seeing the scars on Lucien’s back for the first time and realizing she never wants to see him suffer again

When Lucien asked Elain to enjoy a day by the river she had never imagined the rage that she would feel.

No.

She had imagine him loving the pie she did bake - but didn't offer him a piece just yet.

Imagined him lazily trying to convince her for another kiss - and she would agree to just one, maybe two.

She imagined her kicking her flats outs and drip her toes in the river water to refresh - all the while knowing Lucien would be dying to touch her.

Elain had not imagined Lucien actually offering to get them a fish. Did not imagined him rolling his pants and shirt to just stroll inside the river and get the fish with his bare hands.

She had not imagined being so flustered that she sent the feeling down their bond, making Lucien stumble and fall on the water.

And she least imagined Lucien taking his shirt to dry. At first her heart had stopped at seeing his marveled chest. And then it sank when she saw the marks on his back.

There were so many scars. Thin ones, thick ones. Old, new. It was so rare to see fae wounded like that, and yet...

Elain stood up, anger waving inside her. Lucien turned and frowned at her. "What did I do this time?"

"You did nothing. But whoever gave you those scars are going to pay. Tell me."

He gapped at her. "Elain..."

"No. I'm a seer, I will look into their future and tell them whatever nasty thing I find to haunt their lives."

His smirk only annoyed her. He made his way to her. "Most of them are from a long time ago."

"I don't give a flying fuck. Give me their names."

Lucien laughed and Elain wanted to hit him, but she would never hurt him. She would never let anyone hurt him again. He grinned at her.

Stupid bond.

"Come here." He opened his arms and Elain rushed to met him, she didn't care that he was still wet. Her hands only shook a moment, out of fear of the sensitive tissues, before hugging him tight. "I don't want you to worry about those people. It was done but I'm fine now. I'm safe. We're safe."

"I don't care. I still want their names." She spoke nuzzling his neck and she felt his shiver. She kissed his skin.

"You know who did these already." He finally told her. They had promised to each other, no half-truths. No lies. Not between them. "I don't need revenge though, it's in the past. I'm quite content and moved past those days."

"I will be telling Helion to murder Beron again. I will be officially stealing all of Eris' dogs until he crawls back apologizing. I will be sending the rest of your half-witted siblings nasty omens, and I will send Tamlin goldenrod's pollen because I know he is allergic to them."

Lucien chuckled against her neck. "And how do you know that? I didn't even know that."

"Just looked in."

Lucien smacked her ass. They might shared only a few - a lot of - kisses, but Lucien's hand were quite familiar with her bottoms.

"Little cunning witch." He kissed the top of her head. "Although I don't need you to be my hero, I do like seeing this side of yours, it's quite feral."

Again she wanted to hit him. Instead she kissed his neck again, sending another shiver down his spine. "If anyone touch my mate again I will go feral on them and fuck the laws between Courts. My sister, brothe-in-law and future father-in-law are all High Lady and Lords. My mate is the heir of Day Court. I'm above the law."

Lucien chuckled and smacked her ass again, hard enough to sting. Elain bit her lower lip, he could smell her arouse, no doubt.

"You said fuck twice. And kissed me twice." Elain kissed his skin again and left his embrace.

"I told you I wanted you to court me properly and we're doing that."

"And I asked you to marry me five times already." Lucien pouted at her like a sad fox.

"None with a ring." She looked over her shoulder as she made her way back to her picnic blanket. Sitting down, the perfect imagine of a lady - on purpose, Lucien quite liked this little game of theirs.

Lucien smirked at her. "It can be arranged."

"Good. My finger has been empty for long enough." Lucien nodded, walking over and laying down next to her.

"Let me smack that bum one more time." Elain gasped and shoved a strawberry mini cake on his face.

Fluffy eskel during a fun autumn day (pumpkin carving, chai tea, mountain trail walks, knitting big fluffy sweaters, baking, whatever you want!)

A/N: I want to do a few more fall/Halloween-ish prompts!! This was absolutely so much fun!!

***

Kaer Morhen’s usual gloomy and decrepit atmosphere was replaced with something more lively, more welcoming. 

You hummed as you moved around the kitchen, taking advantage of the large stone ovens meant to cook enough food for all the young witchers-to-be that had once lived in the keep. There were three pies in one oven, heated by a flame Eskel kept strong. 

You turned to cross the room, wanting to finish making the crust for the final gooseberry pie. You turned so suddenly you didn’t have time to react. You ran into Eskel and almost fell. But his strong hands caught you, one gripping your arm and the other your hip. 

“Easy there, doll.” He chuckled softly, his grip loosening on you once he was sure you weren’t going to fall. 

“Sorry.” 

“No worries. But, uh, I think I got a little flour on you.” Eskel rubbed your arm and then moved to get a better look at your side. 

“It’s okay. I have to get a bath later anyways. I think there’s flour and spices all over me.”

As you went to the table where the pie dough was, you looked over to Lambert and Ciri. They sat on the floor near the hearth, carving nearly a dozen pumpkins together. 

Lambert was taking his pumpkin carving very seriously. He took his time to cut each triangle shaped eye and squared tooth into the pumpkin. 

Ciri was being a little more carefree, but she still tried her best. She was working on cleaning out her third pumpkin when she accidentally flung a spoonful of pumpkin seeds and pulp on to Lambert. 

“Hey, you ass!” The witcher called, wiping the orange stringy pulp and slimy seeds from his hair.

“Sorry, Lamb- Ah!” Ciri shouted as Lambert threw a handful of the pulp at her. This sparked a war. 

You sighed, shaking your head as you started to knead the dough. 

“Guys! That’s enough!” Yennefer called, brushing the pulp off of her skirt. “I don’t want to smell like a pumpkin.”

“You’re such a killjoy, Yenn.” Lambert rolled his eyes.

“You’re nearly a century old, Lambert. Grow up.”

“That’s why you’re so boring.”

Yennefer chose to ignore the witcher and instead, she focused on the decorations she and Geralt were working on. They were putting together centerpieces for the table. The center pieces consisted of goldenrods, sweet alyssums, sneezeweeds and various other flowers. 

Your gaze fell on the eldest witcher, who stood at a table on the other side of the room. He was cleaning a boar he and Lambert had hunted down earlier that morning. 

A smile came to your lips, seeing everyone gathered in the same room making preparations for tonight’s dinner. 

Thick arms snaked around your waist, pulling you from your thoughts.

“What are you thinking about?” His breath was warm against your neck. 

“I’m just…. I’m really happy everyone is having fun.” You smiled. 

“Speak for yourself.” Lambert grunted. “I’m in hell right now. I’m never going to stop smelling like pumpkin and I swear, I’m going to vomit the next time this demon throws this shit at me.”

Ciri smirked.

“Don’t let him fool you, Y/N.” Eskel pressed a kiss to the side of your head. “He’s having fun. Wouldn’t be doing it if he wasn’t.”

“I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously whenever I suggested we do something like this.”

“I think…. I think we all were a little skeptical.” Eskel moved away from you to stand next to you, that way you could continue working on the dough and he wouldn’t be a distraction. “We’ve never done this. None of us have.”

“I’m glad I could talk you guys into it.” You gave him another hearty smile.

“All that talking isn’t going to get those pies done, Y/N.” Lambert teased. The pumpkin in his lap exploded, sending orange debris in every direction, but mostly covering the witcher. 

Your eyes flickered over to Yennefer, who was laughing quietly to herself. 

“Fuck.” The young wolf cursed, wiping the slime from his eyes. 

“Poor Lambert has to get a bath.” You faked a frown. 

“Two baths in one week? I think that’s a new record.” Geralt chuckled. 

“Yeah, yeah. Pick on the youngest.” Lambert muttered, picking up another pumpkin and placing it on his lap.

“I’m going to go see if Vesemir needs any help.” Eskel told you, putting his hand on the small of your back and kissing your head. 

You watched him walk across the room, a smile lingering on your face. 

You’d never been more happy than you were in that moment. Your family was together in one room, working together, smiling and laughing and joking. 

Across the room, Eskel began to help Vesemir with the boar. The dark haired witcher’s eyes found yours and a little smile came to his scarred lips. 

“I love you.” You mouthed the words, hoping he’d be able to tell what you were saying. 

The widening of his smile told you that he knew.

ok go ahead chief, talk to us about /that/ one verse 👀

OH SHIT BERRY YES I’LL TELL YOU BUT FIRST I GOTTA

A—

Because holy shit I’ve been dying for someone to ask but at the same time I’m like holy shit no Chief shut up this is self-indulgent BUT. 

AA—

Okay, ok we good. SO first off let’s just say Pokémon timelines are even more confusing than Zelda timelines so I’m not even gonna dip my toes into looking what happens first/etc. ALSO SECOND THIS MIGHT END UP BEING A LONG-ASS WORD-VOMIT ALL OVER DASH BUT LET’S FUCKING GO. 

SO. ROCKET, RIGHT. 

We know what happened between Jay and them. But we also know that Jay is just One Dude. When Aqua was disbanded (read: when Jay fled Hoenn because shit hit the fan and he didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire), Jay returned to his hometown of Goldenrod city, Johto, which is also one of Rocket’s main playgrounds. And while he’s just One Dude, he has other friends that are also fed up with the Big Red R and how it’s got fingers in nearly every pie. Corrupt judges, public servants, cops and TV providers, to name only a few, are a few of the things that makes that one crime syndicate so untouchable. And that’s where a few fed up people decided to hit first. Personal information and receipts were released to the public. Acts of vandalism were performed. Everything to start getting a rise out of the greater Johtonese population. 

At first, it was a nameless movement. Just people deciding to take action, without much direction. Rallies, walks, unorganized action. Sure, it’s good to see people getting together to try and change things, but it needed... More. 

Now, Jay is not a public person by any means, but he actually spoke up at one of those smaller rallies, and sharing part of his experience and views touched something within the crowd. Sure, from the beginning of this, he was just another anonymous rioter wearing a mask to hide his identity, but slowly, people started looking up to him, to the point where a group actually took form and named itself, and him too. Jay picked neither names, ‘Wildfire’ and ‘Fox’ being something that spread on its own after being thrown around a few times. And it’s at that moment that it started to gain traction. 

Being thrust at the forefront of the movement, Jay and a few trusted friends had to start giving shape to it. Wildfire, unlike the ‘teams’ you meet in the Pokémon world, is not an overly organized movement. People who joined it come from all walks of life, and there’s no uniform, no membership, no pay and no secret base. Every single call to rally is a text message sent through a burner phone, within a few minutes to a couple of hours from the event. Everything is made so it is unpredictable and hard to track. It’s a group that’s scattered and hidden in plain sight, a group of ruffians, misfits, activists, anarchists, dreamers, vigilantes and people hungry for justice and revolution, ready to fight the power. Stirring trouble, encouraging civilians not to let Rocket get their way, giving the means of self-defense back to the people who felt wronged by the criminal syndicate that infiltrated the various power structures in Johto and Kanto. Graffiti, hacking, arson, theft, damage to property, releasing classified information to the media, even assault sometimes, but no casualties caused by them, no innocent harmed by them. Exposing people, dragging them out into the public eye. Everything to give Rocket a hard time and retake what belongs to the people — going as far as to admit that if they have to, they’re ready to actually topple more than just a criminal syndicate to get rid of it. Even if there has to be a stock market crash or if the socio-economic climate has to change.

With something this big, Jay has to keep his identity hidden for sure. Fox is an entirely different entity: it’s a symbol that people rally under. The Arsonist that lit the Wildfire, someone even say. Something that big is intimidating, and he makes sure that his identity is entirely secret and protected. Only a few people know of it, one of them even being some kind of Second Fox to make sure that Jay himself has alibies and can be seen somewhere while Fox is somewhere else. 

In this verse, the fight takes place not only in Goldenrod city, but in Johto and Kanto. The climate is especially tense in Goldenrod city, where people know the movement originated, but the point of being scattered and mostly anonymous is that it can hit anywhere at the same time. And at some point, three-four-ish years down the road, because things like that need time to gain traction and enough manpower, and it takes time to clean trash out of some systems, the fight will be taken to a higher level. Because you can’t kill a hydra unless you go for the whole body—cutting off the heads is just a way of stalling for time.

And does Jay live for it? On one side, yes, he’s feeling like he’s accomplishing what he was always meant to do. On the other hand? Holy shit dude that’s some STRESS, he needs a break, he wants a break, can this be over please? Because we’re not excluding the thought that while Wildfire does its best not to cause casualties, Rocket doesn’t tend to have these principles. 

GOD I SKIMMED OVER A LOT BUT THAT’S BASICALLY THE BIG BRAIN STUFF I’M DYING TO RP MORE OF AAAA—

@pcisondapple​ liked for a starter from Bashful

It was getting close to Christmas, and Bashful had been working awful hard on his gift for Snow White. It was important to him that she got something nice, and something specifically from him. He knew his brothers were likely planning something, but that’s why  he’d put all his hard work into his gift.

He’d finished it early, and while he wasn’t the most impatient of the dwarves, he found this time he couldn’t wait. He walked up to her, trying not to blush as he got her attention.

“Erm, Princess? I, erm, well I made you somethin. I know it’s early but ... do ya wanna see?”
