#have to think on it

Found this little guy on FB marketplace today & got them this evening. That first pic is what they were in, poor love. No heat, no humidity, store bought pellets. Usual story, bought for kids who weren't interested.

Going to do post-purchase syndrome death reduction method with them, just to be sure they're doing okay before I put them in the big tank. That involves gradually raising humidity & temp from 70%/72F over a few weeks. The substrate stays shallow to keep them from digging down before they're strong enough to cope with molting. Surface molts can be a small risk, but still worth that chance.

Food is small amounts and changed daily - lots and lots of choices, to entice them into trying something. Sometimes they can be hard to get started on real food if they've gotten used to store pellets. This little one came with pellets and mineral blocks, so will have to see if they're thrilled to see real food or have to be convinced.

For a first round, we have some big favorites with my tank - coconut & chia seeds, Mary's color mix, dried eggs, ground corn mix, plus a mix from Just 2 Old Crabs & salmon oil. The center of the dish has dried cattle blood, ground flaxseed, another J2OC mix, birch leaves, flower mix, and a peanut butter mix from J2OC, which is heavy in coconut oil & suet.

I'm also keeping a dish in all the time with Mary's exo mix for calcium, seaweed mix, worm castings, green sand, and montmorillonite clay. The last two are good mineral supplements & well loved by crabs.

So! We'll see how this lil one does. They were moving around well in their travel carrier and look pretty good so far, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. But hopefully they are in decent shape & will do well with me now!

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
