Saw the post of you receiving a cassette tape. I know Alphys and the Dreemurrs each used a VHS at various points, but it is kind of odd receiving something so old, especially considering the music player.
Do you even have a cassette player?
"Yeah, I thought it was kind of strange too, but thankfully I asked Alphys for help and she managed to find a cassette player for me,"
"It had two songs on it, one was a very sweet version of 'You Are My Sunshine' and the other was the song 'Don't You Forget About Me', I think there was something else on there too, but I couldn't really get it to come through clearly,"
"I can't put my finger on it, but it feels like a very special cassette tape,"
"I'm glad you asked about this, I really need to write back to the person who sent it, I've been meaning to, I want to send my thanks, but I'm kind of nervous,"
#undertale ask blog#frisk ask blog#ask blog#teen!frisk#Mun: Frisk has secret friends is places that they haven't even met or at least don't remember meeting#I imagine finding a cassette player isn't too hard#just check a thrift store#specifically one that specializes in electronics and gadgets

I accidentally got really into X-Men lately, and I'm not immune to... them. 🥺❤️
#x-men#xmen#rogue#gambit#remy lebeau#anna marie lebeau#romy#listen#all I was gonna do was watch x-men 97#but a couple of episodes in I realized I should probably rewatch the original animated series#because I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and I didn't remember much#(also let's face it - kid me was way too stupid to understand the plot anyway)#(I just watched it because I thought the x-men were cool)#and then after rewatching the original series + 97#I didn't know what else to watch so I just watched x-men evolution#and then I found a bunch of 500+ pages 'essential x-men' collections at the thrift store#and was like WELP MIGHT AS WELL GET THESE#and also why don't I check out what comics the local library has?#(turns out a decent amount)#ANYWAY#here I am#in x-men hell

Hello, we've run into Circumstances, and so we're opening cheap commissions for a bit. Criminally cheap, even. Starting at $5 for a sketch. We're linking the toyhou.se thread here since that's the platform we have it on most readily and we don't want to copy-paste all that text into Tumblr. We've got five slots for now, so come get 'em while they're hot - we might open more later, but it's not a sure thing, and this is DEFINITELY the cheapest you'll ever get our commissions, so come get 'em while they're hot.
(1/5 slots remaining)
#commissions#commissions open#open commissions#art commisions#furry art#not art#we speak#thats a good set of tags right? probably a good set. this isnt TECHNICALLY necessary we just want money#our current pair of Walking Shoes have just sprung a leak so unless we want to commit to wearing Fashionable Boots and Dress Shoes#we're going to have to pay for a new set#worst comes to worst if all of these slots are $5 ones we'll probably dip down to the thrift store for it#it's where we get most of our clothes anyways so it wont be anything out of the ordinary#we wish to stress that this isnt an actual emergency#its just a “our feet are wet and we don't want to walk around in dress shoes all day” thing#it'll take a chunk out of our Monthly Alotted Money to get good new shoes#and we won't actually get the Monthly Unemployed And Disabled Check for a few days esp since its prone to delays#hopefully this explains the situation well enough

-- Poorly Constructed Enchanted Tool --
A small tool carved from a fruit tree seed. Energy to power the enchantment has seemingly run-out long ago, and the method of recharging is unknown - but, based on the appearance, it's very likely that this was once used for detecting magic. Usually, looking through the glass center would highlight areas of higher magical energy concentration present in the viewer's environment, even if they were otherwise obscured to the naked eye. While this form of enchantment itself is highly advanced, the craftsmanship of the item is far less neat or complex than what might be typically seen in similar devices. It may have been made as part of training/practice, or as a hasty replacement for a previous tool that had broken.
#written from the perspective of some fantasy traveler who checks all of the local thrift-stores and lost & found places for every#town they visit - looking for interesting items and documenting them or something#In reality - just another one of my goofy little avocado pit carvings lol. Still working on inlaying little stones in them and stuff#I don't really have the tools to make super intricate stuff but doing little plain swirly patterns is still fine enough lol.#WORKING ON NEW POLL ADVENTURE also I know I know it's been months.. I have been Busy and struck by the evils of summer#But like I mentioned in the previous one I do want to at LEAST finish the quest with the egg lol#ANYWAY.#Things like this would plausibly exist in Nanyevimi (my fantasy world) but wouldn't be very common as - like mentioned- this would be an#extremely advanced enchantment. REALLY advanced mages could sense magic around them (to varying degrees of pinpoint accuracy of location#) without even having to use any external device. But for a majority of people there's really no way to know someone is using magic near#you unless you either see visual proof or if it's strong enough to feel effects from it (since magic is kind of like radiation in that the#higher energy/more of it youre exposed to the more it damages you/can make you sick/etc.) and even then most people would just be like#'hmm why do I feel so nauseous and bad out of nowhere?' likely wouldn't directly think to link it to magic. Thus the only really reliable w#way isto just hone your senses over like 500 years as you become an expert mage - OR use enchantments like these. But a 'sense magic' encha#ntment is not as common as a just 'magic is not allowed here' enchantment. If you wanted to prevent magic from being usedin a space#it's easier to just put up a broad barrier enchantment around that space than to have some sort of Magic Sensor to pick out if it's being#done and then handle each individual case of it . etc. etc. These sort of things can have their uses (especially for people investigating#things or trying to be secretive about detecting something etc.) but are less common - especially in this form (where visuals are used. itd#be more likely to jsut have like 'piece of metal that gets warm or cool depending on magic nearby'.) ANWAY so this is why it's a notable#object. Though a majority of the realm is not very magic literate - if you were a researcher or a mage and found this at a pawn shop you'd#definitely be like 'oohhh!! :0 inch resting... ' if not you might just be like 'oh cool necklace!' lol#also love the quick 2min ''costume'' for the image of it being used. literally just 'wrap yourself in scarves from the waist up' and slap o#a wig and ears lol#on this blog I guess since it's worldbuilding related and technically art.. maybe more like crafting? I should have a crafts tag lol.. hmm

it's like I know I shouldn't push myself too much but after almost 2mos of being like. I can't even imagine a universe in which I could do simple things like go to the dispensary. I want to fucking do things now that I can
#with rest in between!!! frequent breaks are super important#if i don't give myself a rest period then i don't have a chance to assess and check my remaining spoon allotment#i get stuck in the adhd hyperfocus momentum and just keep going til i crash#i am pretty tired from gardening so i might still not make it to the thrift store tonight#but it would be nice to do a Fun Errand...

my daily uniform in high school was always some version of Sweater Or Buttoned Shirt Tucked Into Pants because I hated how t shirts fit me (always so fucking LONG because im short) and then one day in college i magically realized that I could just take a pair of scissors to my t shirts and cut them so that the hemlines at the bottom/arms actually fit me in the right places.......... never looked back bro all my shirts are at various states of mutilation now but its so awsom........ Im Living Life...... in high school u never wouldve caught me dead in a tank top or any form of cropped shirt but thats because i didnt see the light. its also so practical........... its always 10000 degrees in the school studios and i'm always lugging heavy shit around... and all my hobbies involve full motion of my rotator cuffs okay they need breathing room. So That's The Story How I Became A Sleeveless Shirt Wearer like mac from its always sunny. and the cropped shirt..... POCKET ACCESS! POCKET ACCESS! a long-ass t shirt will drape over all ur pockets. absolutely diabolical when you keep as many treasures within your pockets as i do. anway.......... thats my speech about how everyone should mutilate their shirts if its applicable to them. peace on earth.
#im going to make a fashion blog but i never post fit checks i just describe in words what im wearing. jk#I love clothes though........... not like Real clothes just funny stuff from the thrift store#but i wouldnt make it far as a fashion content creator. i wear the same fits for like 3 days in a row and half of my clothing dates back to#middle school. but i can dream#wow this is the longest post on earth and I’m literally Shirtposting. sorry world . this is just who I am

✨🎥! Forgot to say, I have a wedding in April but no dress/suit/clothes. I’m desperately looking but every single day I’m more disappointed in the quality of the fashion industry. Even the most basic thing is shit quality and cost 5 times what it should. So yeah, if anyone has recommendations on clothes (not necessarily for weddings or events, but in general) that are good quality, let me know
i know how you feel, affordable decent clothing is fucking impossible right now. honestly my best advice is thrifting/secondhand. idk what the situation for that is like in spain so maybe it's not possible, but it's always worth a shot, especially if you've already been looking for a while. it does obvs take more time than shopping new bc you have to sift through racks, but you're more likely to get a good find of better quality for a more reasonable price. my general thrifting advice (honestly this applies to any clothes shopping also) is first look for the colour and shape that you like, and then look at the material content. this is very important. do not look at brand that means nothing. always always always check the material content on the tags. ideally you want to be looking for garments that have 100% natural fibres; wool, cotton, silk, linen, rayon/viscose (yes it is natural despite the name). if you can't find 100% than something with an 80/20 ratio or more (to the natural side) can also be a safer bet, but my rule of thumb is the more polyester is in a garment, the worse it is in every way.
my general advice for wedding attire is unless you need black tie, don't worry about trying to find a full suit or a really fancy dress you're only gonna wear once. get a good pair of dark formal trousers (black/grey/navy), wear a dress shirt or a formal blouse, and throw on a nice tailored jacket that's in the same colour family. is it technically only semi-formal? yes, but who does true formal weddings and actually cares about sartorial rules. in this economy? psh. some visual aids:
it's a great combo for any 'events you have to look nice at' because you only have to buy individual pieces, you don't have to buy them all at the same time, and they can be reused for other events. just find out what the colour theme of the event is and get yourself a shirt or tie/pocket square/scarf/other accessory in that colour and you're good to go. also do not forget a good pair of shoes. this is also very important; always have a good pair of shoes.
hopefully this helps! i'm sorry i don't have better recommendations on where to actually go to buy stuff/what to buy, but i haven't shopped new in......quite a long time. but at least having some tips to go by should help. and tbh sometimes you do gotta cough up the money.....BUT only ever cough up the money for something that is 100% natural fibre and is a piece that will get use outside of a single event. otherwise you just gotta be patient and keep looking; if you are patient things have a way of coming to you.
#diligence and perseverance are so key to any kind of shopping but especially thrifting#tbh these are fundamental tips for building a wardrobe in general so if that's a thing anyone's been thinking about:#always start with good trousers and good shoes#all these photos are from the sartorialist's blog btw if you want more fashion inspo check it out#fashion tips#answers#text#✨🎥 anon#also i know that most people's level of sewing skills are not good but dont be afraid to get something thats not quite perfect#minor things like sleeves too long you dont like the buttons etc. rolling up sleeves is an easy fix and will give you a bit of character#and sewing on new buttons is a very very easy to learn skill and is very useful to have when one inevitably comes loose.#plus its way cheaper to buy/find new buttons and you can play around with styles#trouser hems as well if theyre too long you can neatly roll them up and give them a good press and no one will know#if you happen to have access to a sewing machine or are just a determined hand stitcher#there's an easy way to take in the fit of a formal trouser waistband#but thats a bit long to put in tags so if someone wants to know ill do a separate post#also for thrifting if you know the demographics of the areas you're shopping in look for secondhand stores where a lot of older folks live#you're much more likely to find good quality bc older garments are better made#also if you have large enough feet to wear men's sizing or are on the verge (40/41/42) you can often find very nice dress shoes so so cheap#that can also be another post if ppl want i will talk about shoes for literally ever

it's unfortunate that i don't have a lot of clothes from the 2010s anymore, except for like a few dresses (some of which were my mom's which i love) and a few hoodies, because i was very a teenager during a lot of those years and the pants and jackets back in those days were very, very tight
#rubia speaks#i like the 2010s fashion a lot!!!!#but i have now seen the other side of puberty and some of those pants couldn't make it with me#maybe i should check in thrift shops for some very 2010s maxi dresses. i miss those a lot#we love a bold maxi dress#one of the stores i used to do my shopping in as a teen has very little i care for these days and i thought the selection was worse#and then i realised its not the individual store that i dislike. its the 2020s clothing#there are a few subgenres i think are really cute in the 2020s#the dark academia girlies dress SO well and i also like the classic style timeless fashion sort of stuff#and wide pants are a blessing on this earth#but i just really miss being able to go into a shop and the clothes are so very 2010s

these vintage thrift stores have got to be stopped… I just left a place downtown that was asking $12.95 for a used steinbeck paperback
#that’s in USD. almost 13 american dollars for a mass market paperback of cannery row#I went up to the counter intending to haggle because like. jesus you can’t ring that up with a straight face#but then the owner of the place was like ‘well we check every price online and we don’t just price everything at a discount’#so I just left because what.#the sign on your door says thrift. hello. I feel like I got dropped into some alternate dimension#anyways I brought it on myself going to a thrift store in the downtown of a college town probably. back to goodwill I go

Happiness is: a heated pet bed
#we went to my grandparents' house this weekend for a belated thanksgiving#and at one point my grandmother mentioned that they had a heated pet bed but don't use the heat in it#(its a travel bed for the bigger of their two cats)#and i asked where she got it - from the thrift store of course - and so i checked the tag#and mentioned that my cat would love a heated pet bed and i wanted ideas of what to look for#so she just. gave us the pet bed ❤️#and i was right; my cat does love it
