ABALONE | She/Her

Abalone is the messenger for the Queen of the Ocean. She’s very fast, though she is also shy.  She doesn’t get too competitive, though she lives to please the queen and hopes to one day be recognized by her. Her cutie mark is a pale blue seashell on a scroll.  She usually keeps messages curled in her tail, held in place by a wrap of seaweed. Her mother was an earth pony, and the hybridism has given her some unusual traits.

Had a dream I got my tattoo touched up and the artist was really good! But she added words to my tattoo? But it was a really long and convoluted quote?? I couldn't even read it. I kept asking her why she didn't do knuckle tattoos instead like

Fish Dick

Chop Worm

Wet Sleep

Salt Bite

she did give me a cool cowboy tattoo so I paid her $100 even though she asked for 58

Book Chats: The Spellshop

Summer is here. The days are warm and long, and the evenings are perfect for sitting outside and reading (or listening and crocheting, in my case) as the sun goes down. The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is an amazing choice for this kind of relaxing evening. The narrator was excellent, the descriptions were lush, and the setting was idyllic. A librarian and her sentient spider plant seek refuge from a bloody revolution—with crates of books in tow—by heading to Caltrey, a small island on the outskirts of a nation made of islands. All Kiela wants is to protect her books and live unnoticed in the cottage her parents left her. (Un)fortunately for her, that's not how small villages work. With an attractive next door neighbor and a friendly baker determined to welcome her into their small community, as well as a suspicious old man who is set on driving her out, Kiela has to decide if letting people in is a chance she's willing to take. Warning: you will want baked goods slathered with jam by the end of this book.

Becca: Kiela was such a fun, unique character. Her love of books obviously resonates with me as an avid reader and a bookseller, and her habit of overthinking what she says and does was also very relatable. What did you think about her as the main character and voice of the story? Lori: I loved Kiela. For the same reasons as you but also, I loved the way circumstances kept pushing her beyond her comfort zone and then, because of getting to hear her overthinking inner voice, the reader knows what choosing to be brave costs her. But she does it anyway. It's not comfortable to acknowledge that those moments are what bring growth. Also, she has blue skin. And blue hair. And lots of blue clothes. I approved of all the blue. What did you think about Kiela's scheme to barter homemade jam for the supplies she needs? Becca: Making jam is not necessarily the occupation I would turn to for survival, but I also don't live on a little island surrounded by merhorses and abundant fruit trees and bushes. Well, maybe the bushes; our blackberry brambles are out of control. I loved how she took what she had available to her and, with much determination, figured out a way to keep moving forward. Lori: She did. No matter the obstacles, she kept trying. I think we need to discuss Caz, though, the sentient spider plant! Becca: So...a talking plant research assistant. I wouldn't mind that. Maybe then I'd finally know how to care for one without it slowly fading away on me. And Caz has such an excellent personality. Lori: He stole the show in my opinion. I thought he had all the best lines. His friendship and support of Kiela really brought home to me how careful Sarah Beth Durst was to give all her characters, and the environment they inhabit, a nuanced worth. She also created an interesting magic system. Becca: I do love it when magic is something accessible to everyone in a book, instead of just the chosen few who are born with it. But with all of the impressive feats that can be accomplished with spells, I think it was the little magics scattered throughout the book were my favorite. Yes, Kiela wanted to do big magics to help her community, but the little ones that encouraged plant growth and water to flow were the ones that resonated with me. And it's the small magics that she was determined to share with those around her as a way to make their lives better. Lori: It really shows how little things, that maybe don't seem like they matter that much, actually have more of an impact than one might think. It's encouraging that making small choices towards the good does make a difference in the world. Becca: It is. And I appreciated how Kiela came to believe that sentiment because she observed Larran, her always-willing-to-help neighbor, put forth the effort to do so. Lori: I loved watching the spark between Kiela and Larran grow. She started out so wary and standoffish, but as she continued to see how good he was (and how good he looked shirtless), she started to admire him, until she found herself unable to resist.

This sweet book is perfect for summer, with its cottagecore vibes and berry-filled island. The first printing has beautiful sprayed purple edges to add to the appeal. So, stop by to pick up a pretty book, whip up (or purchase) some scones with jam (preferably raspberry), and settle in for a gentle adventure full of plants, jam, and slightly illegal magic.

Ok with the siblings who are they friends with

Angler is genuine besties with captain. Captain may have a bit of a crush on her in fact!

Pacific has close friends with twin merhorse monsters, they were the same age and trained together

Bermuda has a ton of buddies on tumblr. He mostly hangs out with either silex or angler in real life

And baby Atlantis’ best friend is her lightning McQueen hot wheel and Pearl of course!

feferi's steeds being marked with a heart and a spade makes them "pail horses", right? the third horse just visible outside of her window suggesting that the fourth horseman is in fact eridan, squeezing into frame within the next few pages?

Ooh interesting! That would certainly add to the air of apocalyptic power she gets from Glub-Glub... though I think only Death's horse is described as pale? Still, the massive "bows" atop Ferferi's merhorses are suggestive of archery, since Equius crushing bows and glasses of milk (and ruining Nepeta's hat?) seem to pose him as a hyper-masculine threat to the feminine. And the fact that the bow wielded by a centaur can also represent a feminizing accessory is one of the factors that turns "centaursTesticles" into "boobs", along with the udders on male musclebeasts. Roxy uses her slurred speech to simultaneously place a bow on a pony and Pawnee later, sealing the connection. So bows-on-horses align with Eridan as mounted shooters, at minimum.

Sharp pivot to my current fixation, but the description of Glub-Glub as "the Rift's Carbuncle" (a legendary ruby) would seem to invoke the Red Sun, ie goatse. Insofar as Glub-Glub's narrative function is a giant abortive womb, enforcing the Baroness's barren-ness by ending her attempted revivals of trollkind, this would align with the story's pejorative treatment of the ass as a failing faux-womb. It also makes the Vast Glub sound like a fart...? And/or another grandiose riff on the phenomenon of shock images, like the impact of goatse causes enough psychic damage to melt every brain in the universe to death.

It's a possible through-line between Jailbreak's "The elf saw a picture of a penis and started to cry" and Homestuck's "Not peekin' at the floor butt cause I'm only 13 years old, motherfuckers," if we allow (and why wouldn't we?) that the ass Roxy LMAO'd onto the floor can represent Glub-Glub.

Got another Fakemon starter! This is Foalpie, the Merhorse Pokemon. Pure water type.

They're loving but a bit dimwitted. They enjoy swimming in dark waters among kelp and seaweed, generally giving other swimmers a fright when they just want to say "hi."

Their bodies are also very squishy, aside from their hooves.
