#live in basements with no windows

the issue with what-about-ism is that it should have been an excellent opportunity to challenge someone's stance by introducing another point of view and expanding the bubble that people live in, and instead it's become an opportunity to suggest extreme edge cases that are treated as a joke rather than an additional voice in the matter (and yeah, most of the time it does feel like a joke if not just a sign of someone missing the point).
#legal talks#i remember seeing a post where someone was talking about how ridiculous it was that someone didn't know what prosciutto was and was very#dubious of the fact that someone wouldn't know what it is#but like... if you don't eat pork products why would you even go in the pork section of the deli or the pork aisle at the supermarket#and there is a significant portion of the population who don't eat pork so it's not ridiculous to point out that some people may not have#seen it or gone to restaurants that sell it etc.#^ good what about ism that highlights different experiences and challenges the bubble someone lives in & offers a new perspective#someone making a post saying hey guys you should look out the window and enjoy the spring vibes and someone saying what about people who#live in basements with no windows#^ bad what about ism. extreme edge case. go outside.#or maybe a lot of people do live in window-less basements... idk i just have dirt walls and floors under my house and we knocked down a wal#and found another room#no one would live there

Okay I do love Bobby's but at least for Dean, he considered the bunker HIS home, as opposed to Bobby's home. He had his own space and decorated it the way he wanted, the Dean cave was full of things he adored, the first thing he did when he got there was making a home cooked meal, and spent a lot of the time just nesting and feeling like it was his own space. I'm not saying Bobby's wasn't a wonderful place for him or that he didn't feel safe, but I think just internally he wasn't able to call it a home the way he does the bunker. And I hear all the arguments that the bunker is underground and doesn't have light but it can still be a home if you feel safe and if you feel like it's your own. It doesn't have to be a permanent home but he still felt like it was his home. Anyways I love the bunker as the first home Dean's ever owned <33
#maybe i take it personally when the main argument against the bunker is that it's underground like that's not the definition of a home#insert something profound about a home and a house#AGAIN im not saying Bobby's wasnt a safe space or it wasn't a home for him#but I think the bunker was HIS home#anyways I've lived in a basement for a good chunk of my life and I've also lived in an apartment with huge windows#and they both felt like home bc i made it my home#renu rambles#bunkernatural

Imagine you have to set up yakumo's enclosure for the next couple months. How do you set it up and what do you put in there?
oh NO.! THE PROPPHECY HAS BEenm FUFILLED
i am standing in my room, leggies rooted to the floor. i am in shock .frozen and i have no idea how to proceed. there is a perpetual pathetically sobbing serpent under my blankie.
#stares at the camera and stage whispers#i can't be responsible for another living creature. i can't. or . er. i can. but I SHOULDN'T#i'll have to suppress every violent urge in my body to keep this thing alive for several months#i CANNOT fling him out the window. i WILL NOT grab his entire face and squeeze. I SHALL NOT chew on his tail.#now i'm reminded of that post where it's a pretty princess cage on the floor and comments go [that aint big enough for a dog]#and OP is all [it's not FOR a dog š]#yeah. that's me right now imagining a full grown yakumo in a cage by my bedside#SO FOR EASE OF MY IMAGINATION AND TO increase yaku's chance of surviving these next months#i'm going to try real hard to imagine him exclusively in pocket snake form (scrunches up my face in valiant effort)#his enclosure (crib?!?!) is flanked on all sides by eiden plushies#since yaku is an adult there is a smaller chance of him suffocating on eiden in his sleep. wait. actually#arranges the eiden walls to give some pockets of air. i don't trust him. he WILL suffocate on eiden given the opportunity#he gets one of those tiny dollhouse cooking sets for enrichment LOL#or i'll give him a bunch of those make-your-own gummy kits with elaborate setups and tiny egg gummies#crying yaku is the excuse i need to finally get a humidifier#i can survive not misting myself.. usually... but yaku will cry himself into dehydration. it's misting time#he gets an entire alcove closed off in the corner with his basic needs met. i cannot perceive#he can lurk in privacy as much as he wants. there are at least TWO hot rocks in there with garukaru's faces painted on em#there is a duplicate open-space alcove next to it for when he actually wants something from me LOL#is he a free range snake? can i take him to a bunch of restaurants and shove food into my sleeve for him? he wants to sample the delights..#tempted to put a bell on him just so if he gets loose in the basement i'll know to fish him out#but he's pretty cautious... he won't get into any fatal situations in the house right? ...does he know how to swim?!#at least one day is reserved for testing yaku's swimming capabilities.#he is going into the bathtub while it has a film of water. gonna test his traction. i hope i won't get panic-strangled#asks

just saw my childhood best friend for the first time in 2 years. crazy how so much time can pass and yet we can talk like it's only been hours. we've known each other since we were three years old and we spent every day of our youth together playing, going on adventures, running around, and talking about our lives. now she's got a kid and a second on the way, and im on my way to graduate college, and it's crazy how much has changed and stayed the same.
#ive missed her so much#ive convinced myself that theres no place for me in her life since shes a mom now and we've both grown up#but we sat in the garden of her parents house and talking until the stars came out and the air got cold#her little girl running around and having fun while we caught up on each others lives and reminisced of our childhood#i miss her i miss her i miss her#i miss being young i miss having no worries other than what game we would play that day#i miss us sitting in the basement and discussing our lives over our books and american girl dolls#the sleepovers at her families houses and the trips to the mall where we just window shopped and talked#text#text post

today's dracula daily, with the bit about Lucy going back to bed once thwarted, made me weirdly nostalgic for the couple years in high school where I made sure to be standing in my doorway at 10 pm so that when my brother came out of his room next door i could flip him 180 degrees so he'd go back to bed before he had a chance to trip over anything or run into things. he'd do it the entire time school was in session and all through winter break and the first couple weeks of summer.
it took ages to figure out that he WAS sleep walking, because he looked and sounded awake. it took several rounds of him asking where mom was and me telling and eventually showing him to realize, because if he wasn't brought to her directly he's just go back to bed and i'd assume it wasn't that important. when i finally brought him directly to her, it was still all "where's mom" and we connected the dots. i don't know that we would have if my dad wasn't such a notorious sleep walker
#ink post#dracula daily#my family#my dad doesn't do it anymore but my mom once caught him stuck in the blinds bc he'd tried to climb out the window when they were newlyweds#luckily they lived in a basement apartment and the deal was him finishing the basement in lieu of rent#and the literally 6 hour old blinds could be replaced easily because there was an extra set

I had one, JUST ONE, conversation with my sister about how Iād rather just live my life alone/only have friends than be in a romantic relationship, and now Iām only getting ads for hinge about some stupid ālove story that was almost never told š„ŗ ā ādownloadable our app to find yoursš„ŗāØššā bitch, please.
Like, I just wanna be the creepy old hag in the woods who lives in a super cozy hobbit hole, and makes yummy desserts all the time, with some light witchcraft on the side. Maybe also have a coven of other hags to have tea with on the weekends. Auntie Ethel style, ya know? Itād be so funny to write cryptic letters back and forth with my coven, just have our own secret stories, that are forever ongoing. Thatās the life I want
(Also, I know itās probably just a coincidence, but itās still annoying)
#personal#that life just sounds so idyllic to me#tending my garden feeding the birds outside writing letters in my sunroom#tax evasion#that last one was a joke I swear#I wanna have a cozy basement/cellar in my hobbit hole where I can keep authentic alchemy equipment#I know literally nothing about alchemy but I think itād still be cool#but like old fashioned alchemy stuff. like 15-1600s#if for no other reason than itās pretty to look at#I want a cozy fireplace upstairs in the living room#and a big window so I can look out at the trees and stuff#I also think itād be cool to learn whittling and pottery so I can make my own cooking utensils#so basically what Iām saying is I wanna hit the lottery lmao

i think she would like neutral milk hotel but especially two-headed boy
its funny because the majority of my character playlist for her (meaning songs she WOULD like, not songs that remind me of her, which are on a separate playlist) is female-led pop groups (with the exception of some alternative bands i added because i imagine isaac makes her listen to them) and then neutral milk hotel is just there
i used gradient maps for this. not happy with it but idk
this one makes eve look like a fox lmao. also im just not realizing i colored her tail wrong

I assume you know how to keep plants. You . Plant .,,. Plants you.
As someone who grew up on a farm, has a mom whos a skilled gardener, and whos planning on taking a gardening elective next year, I can confidently say I have never manged to keep anything above a spider plant alive. š
#dw my plant johnny lives in my window and gets water every two months and he seems to be chilling#basement lighting will nerf anything else I consider

oh my GOD one day I'll have a camera set up and I'll catch it but my cat has discovered this noise she can make that sounds like the noise a cat would make when it's getting its head ripped off (a similar vocal formation to a lion's roar apparently), however she solely uses it to yell at creatures in the garden
#weve lived in apartments the whole time weve had her so shes never had to deal with a basement window befote#and she is MAD about the critters that come into the garden#one night we looked out and there was a fucking possum just staring at us#she's never done it to squirrels but i havent caught any others#we had a theory for a bit there was a cat running around outside that she was mad about but then i found out outdoor cats are outlawed here#(woo)#so I dunno but it's fucking LOUD
