RIP Pickles… (11/25/2020-6/29/2024)
You were my OG seal… and you didn’t deserve to get ripped apart by my washer today. I will forever remember the comfort you brought me after my septoplasty. Your brothers and I will forever miss you… have fun in seal heaven. 🌸💕
#the washer tore off his flipper… BURNT him somehow.. and then tore open his side#he didn’t deserve that#I’m genuinely crying#he was beyond repair#my mom had to throw him out in the dumpster for me#he was my pickle man#he went to California with me#Illinois#the two states I’ve traveled to#he was my son#he taught me love#motherhood#he got me through the hell of WEBTOON#by being there every day as I drew#I love you pickles#i miss you

Summertime Rainstorm
#doctorsiren#ace attorney#phoenix wright#trucy wright#ace attorney fanart#digital art#my art#procreate#this is inspired by something that occurred today#it randomly started thunderstorming super hard out of nowhere (which is wild bc I live in the middle of California)#and so I went outside to go record a video of it#and my dad came outside after me and he had me set down my iPad and my headphone#and he dragged me out into the backyard and we literally danced in the rain 😭#I was wearing socks but it was okay bc I actually don’t mind the feeling of wet socks#also the puddles were all warm bc of the hot cement#and so I drew Trucy and Phoenix doing the same thing :3#Trucy’s wearing the outfit I was wearing (except I swapped my bat wing hoodie for her cape)#and Phoenix is wearing crocs bc my dad was wearing crocs#idk I just wanted to remember the moment and so I immortalized it in fanart 😁

love the idea that stan, pre-realisation, would just put any “my brother-“ thoughts that popped up into the ‘shermie’ category into his head
my brother… the genius … always won the spelling bee… we were so close… i learnt to fight because i was uh. protecting my…. (much??) older brother? damn was he a wimp or something
stan, calling shermie up post everything: do you happen to remember like. a flying dinosaur from our childhood or is this another ‘wrong brother’ situation
shermie, who was very much not there: what.
aksdjfhsd yeah!! also I imagine there being a ton of angst potential because Stan remembers ("remembers" my ass, he doesn't remember shit) himself and Shermie as being fairly close as kids, because everything involving "my brother" is conflated with Shermie, until the Mystery Incident got him kicked out. But Shermie wasn't super close with either of his brothers because of the age difference, and also because I hc him as not being home very often and getting the hell outta dodge as soon as he was old enough. So poor Stan has an imagined closer brotherly dynamic with Shermie, who isn't maintaining this dynamic into adulthood because to him Stan is his younger brother who dropped off the face of the earth (sad) at age 17, popped up a few times in newspapers to get arrested and/or scam people, and then dropped off the face of the earth again at 27.
#i should make an ask tag#stan (singular) au#stan: i wonder why shermie never tried to contact me in those ten years i was wandering around homeless#shermie: oh god yeah i forget i have brothers sometimes lol. lets not think about that too hard#SHERMIE ALSO HAS ISSUES TRUTHER#i hc that he joined the army as soon as he turned 18#went to war. got fucked up. possibly got injured. came home. got a girl pregnant. girl left him. has to raise baby alone.#got a tiny bit of support from parents (somewhere in here his brother got kicked out???? busy dealing with ptsd+injury+newborn). left for#left for california as soon as he had the money to do so#didn't look back for Years#dad died. went to funeral. continued raising son. occasionally called the brother who did not get kicked out of the house. brother visited#him and his kid a few times until said brother went off the deep end and started accusing everyone of being a demon before going radio sile#for like 30 fucking years#eventually gave up trying to connect with brother because good lord this family is fucked up#has not thought about stan other than 'man i hope he's doing alright because god knows none of the rest of US are'#uh. anyways#im a little incoherent from that hiking trip i was talking about

🤠 This User Unironically Enjoys Country Music And Keeps Getting Made Fun Of For It 🤠
idk how to make the blinky banner things I see so here
#doueverthink#I told one of my coworkers the other day and he said “sorry you have bad taste” 😭😭#I told someone once it was partially nostalgia and they went “sorry you had a horrible childhood”#Babes country music was the BEST part of my horrible childhood wdym sorry 😭😭😭#Heads Carolina tails California by Joe Dee Messina and Chicken Fried by Zach Brown Band were my first favorite songs#And Sugarland was my favorite band for years#Like bro I’m not huge in RnB but u don’t hear me saying “sorry you have bad taste”

happy two year anniversary to the very beginning of my descent into madness (the day i added my hockey guy on social media) (it all went downhill from there)
#i love talking in parentheses guys it’s so fun#anyway after that he put me on my deep obsessive stranger things phase. and after that we did the play together. and after that#i watched the hunger games movies because he gave me the flu after tech week. and after that i was sending him videos from an airbnb in#albuquerque nm at one in the morning. and at some point along the way i was squished out badly (vwoop was there) (don’t look at my sideblog#and after that he put me on various new music and then left to california with my best friend for two weeks and i was so alone.#and after that we didn’t talk much for most of last summer until suddenly we went anc saw the barbie movie together. and after that#he called me on the phone various times (he’s one of only two people i dna stand talking to on the phone)#and then he befriended one of my teammates over the socials and then i went to some of his hockey games and then#deep breath. guys im running out of things to say. can you tell im so fucking insane about my best friends irl.#and then he’s gone to my birthdays the past two years in a row even though he can’t drive and it’s inconvenient for him. and then we’re#going to a concert next week (he’s taking me)#rowe rambles#JESUS CHRIST shut up rowe

re: drive, do what you did with your sister when y'all went to Texas but alone?
when i drove from San Francisco to essentially Vancouver on my way to Alaska, it was literally like every other road trip except i had to call all the shots. which was stressful af since this wasnt a For Fun trip so i asked for a buddy on my way back down
oh!! you can bring like a plushie and take photos of it in places :3 that is your travel buddy
ah!! yeah, see, the biggest problem is that my sister did most of the planning for that trip skdhfskdg
it is,,, mmmmm,,, well part of it is that i'm going to be flying instead of driving! since it's a 30hr drive :') which is Fine and Okay except i have to go through 2 of the busiest US airports by myself with next-to-no experience :'))) i may or may not be very nervous about that lmao
but other than that it's also gonna be a longer trip! im going for about a week (probably, i know i'll be leaving saturday but idk what day i want to return home yet) whereas my trip to texas with my sister was 3 days, as was my trip with my other sister when we went to california! (<- that was also my only airport/plane experience thus far) so im gonna have more time there to actually Do Things as opposed to just... Day 1. Arriving, Day 2. Doing the Single Thing, and then Day 3. Leaving
that said though, a travel buddy actually sounds like a very good thing for me to bring!! ive done similar things on big family road trips where we would stop to remember to take photos, though those were more of Us than anything else, but i think it would be a nice way to remember to actually TAKE photos!! as well as helping me actually stay calm enough to figure things out :)
#id also add that my other sister also did most of the planning for california ;;;#like they both consulted me on it ofc and i am pretty sure i was there when my sister bought the plane tickets but like#they also had both had trips like those prior (california sis went to illinois with her partner/texas sis drove cross-country on her own)#so they both had some experience already with it and i just ;;;#idk#a lot of it is stupid technical stuff that i SHOULD be able to figure out but am stressing over anyway#like actually getting a hotel room and figuring out transport while im up there and everything#though it'll be a big city so im sure that i could use public transport but that goes again into figuring out HOW TO since#i come from a town/city with little to no public transport whatsoever and very limited experience using it elsewhere#and just#OUGH#then its like WHEN do i buy the tickets and the hotel and everything like should i work on that NOW or?????#fuck <3#as you can see. kinda stressed about it.#im figuring it out though i'll probably call my dad at some point next month and ask him#he always planned all of our family road trips so he knows what hes talking about ;;;;;#askers#cozy-fish-crow#shh ac

Beware of the gentrified shops in black & brown neighborhoods that you’ve never seen a black or brown person working at ever.
#backstory#There’s a gentrified chocolatier cafe by my house#I regularly frequent there that half the staff knows me by name#& we have had conversations on slow days#one day I ask if they’re hiring & turns out one of the staff was recently promoted to HR#So he schedules me an interview a week later#it went well and we even follow up with emails#I get ghosted#About two weeks after that I see a new white kid fresh from California#much like the rest of the staff#HR guy said it was the owners decision#despite the shop being in a neighborhood of black and brown people#It got me thinking after that#I can’t look at the place the same way anymore#So yeah#beware#gentrification#discrimination

every time I mention Ace Attorney around my (defense lawyer) father, he asks if I’ll be going to law school now
the best bit was me telling him that if I did that, I would be fulfilling the Phoenix Wright prophecy because I’d be dropping my art degree to pursue law
#doctorsiren#not art#siren speaks#ace attorney#I go to the same college that he went to law school at and the view from my dorm is literally the law school#see if I wasn’t trying to be an artist#I *would* be going into law or criminology#I did mock trial all throughout high school#went to state for courtroom art all 4 years#i feel like Phoenix defo would have done courtroom art for mock trial when he was in high school#I’m just projecting because I know how the California Mock Trial Association works (I’m from California)#it’s pretty interesting to me that it took me until after my freshman year in COLLEGE to get into AA#when I did law stuff all throughout high school#maybe it was better than I didn’t get into back then HAHA#I feel like I can appreciate it more as an 18/19 year old sophomore in college than I could’ve as an 13/14 year old freshman in high school#also I made a joke that if I don’t get into my program this next year when i apply then I’ll go to law school instead haha

my greatest contribution to tsh lore is the poll where ive asked who is the better drug lord between gus fring and cloke rayburn, and cloke won.
#cloke rayburn is so coded.#breaking bad but it's southern california and the “in” man of the cartel is just cloke rayburn#he bullies cali walt#to be fair cali walt is just walt#didnt he went to college in california factecheck me on this

Poor waffles but me too honestly. I hate storms too
My middle kid is DEATHLY afraid of storms so I hope he's doing okay at school today. It's rough being in the midwest right now.
#having lived here my entire life it just feels like normal weather#like i remember once being at my best friends house and her mom told us to bring up the trash cans#because there was a tornado warning and trash cans are expensive#and of course we waited until the sirens went off#just a massive cone in the distance and two teenagers dragging in the bins and laughing#so its weird to me to see people in my house afraid of storms#my oldest in true midwestern fashion will join me on the porch when the sky gets green#mr mb is from california so he doesnt understand

sorry. still thinking
#its just been on my mind a lot more especially since talking about it with my mom in california she told me a lot i didnt know about#bc i was like 13 when it all initially happened i barely knew/was told what was going on. we just all saw him nearly dead on his floor#and then suddenly there was an ambulance and he was gone#and then he went to one of the city hospitals hours away and my mom was gone most of the time for months to be with him#and i knew he nearly died and was told later it was bc he got hiv but like that was basically it? and i knew it was from drug usage#but she told me basically everything this time. and it was just a lot#apparently i have a group of students from a texan medical college to thank for him being alive. bc they did an experimental thing on him#after his original doctor had given up hope and told my mom he was just going to die#we're not sure exactly what they did i guess it was some kind of medicine of course but like. anyway whatever it was it worked#and the thing i remember most. was my mom saying 'at least that makes it so he can help as many people as he's hurt.'#bc my brother just...has a complicated past and the things leading up to his near-death were especially#and apparently the test is gonna be in some medical journal probably. im guessing its what helped them confirm their experiment works#anyways. im just glad hes alive. but its a lot to think about
