cleaning the backyard and found broken eggs. now either it’s a possum stealing them or one of my dumb hens is deciding to lay her eggs behind the coop in the tall grass.

#i haven’t had time to clean the yard #and now #it makes sense why there have been less eggs #liek there is still a lot #filled the mini fridge with a lot #but still!#ughh #they don’t smell rotten #specially with this heat #more than likely it’s a possum #gotta call my dad now to see if he can help fix the coop #personal #ignore

fuck it. plaguesona

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^#im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation...#possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

Sometimes I forget that other people aren't as enthusiastic about bugs as I am, and do not in fact want to see a video of the veritable sea of maggots devouring watermelon rinds in the compost bin

#we have SO MANY LITTLE GUYS!!!#honestly idk what type of larvae they are. they look more like mealworms than typ white maggots #probs just horsefly larvae or somwthing idk #either way tho I'm happy bc that means that we dont have to ever take out the compost (bc its being broken down not filling up)#and more maggots = more spiders birds and possums

university.. university leave me alone

#heres the situation: for my cognitive literary studies class (quite fun) we had to pick primary material and a cognitive angle to analyse it #from. and the deadline was coming up and i who have been thinking very intensely about robots for the last half a year picked #yeah you guessed it. fucking PIERS PLOWMAN. which is not fun for me but i panicked about the deadline #so now i have to do something about piers plowman and its cognitive literary properties #and im in hell this is hell i have been extremely stressed about piers plowman for a month. to the point where ive been in physical pain #AND I CANNOT. THINK OF ANYTHING. ABOUT PIERS PLOWMAN.#and the teacher for that class is so nice and chill and she was like you can pick anything at all. and i went with piers plowman #like it's interesting but from what COGNITIVE angle can i approach piers plowman.#ive been thinking about saying exactly this that piers plowman is more for historical linguists and theologists than narratologists but im #also positive plenty of scholars read piers plowman for the plot #so then i thought about the characters and whether you can Connect with them and whether they help you Immerse yourself in the story and #other terminology i learned in cognitive literary studies class.#theyre allegorical and very 1 dimensional and there could be something about whether we from 2024 understand them in the same way #people from the 14th century did. like this was what i put in my proposal when i made it #but now i actually have to make the slides and use cognitive literary papers for this and it's just not going at all. i cant do it.#i cant do anything i cant enjoy the daylight and the warmer weather i cant think about anything other than im not making progress on this #and it's bad for me!! it's bad for my health i feel bad. why did i go with piers plowman why did i not pick watership down #my post #i have plenty to say about watership downm cognitively.#also about old possums book of practical cats #maybe i could email her and tell her id like to change it.. no #ive also been reading the tombs of atuan which is incredible

until right now it truly never occurred to me that kangaroos are probably a nuisance in australia instead of a cool animal........ wow......

hmmm i wouldn't say they're actually really a nuisance but they make my dogs bark bc they freak them out LOL. i like to compare them to deer bc it's still really cool when you see them and i'll always take a picture or stare for a bit even if they're staying in the area for a while :) it'll usually just be a mama dad and a joey but sometimes there'll be more

+ dingo???

#asks #found it in my dads messages LOL..#they're still VERY exciting i just see them more often than not every year around winter #theyre still probably the least dramatic to see for me hmm ... kangaroos then possums would warrant calling everyone out to see the possum #echidna would be crazy we've had a couple. and i've never seen a koala around here specifically but they're around ..#oh and dingoes never we heard them for a few months once but they're like . bush animals

hate how like. actually giving a fuck about animals has consistently made people mad at me for ruining their "fun". i'll tell someone their Haha Funny video of someone petting a fucking WILD MOUNTAIN LION isnt cute because its actively fucking endangering the animal and the person filming and then they will get mad at me and ask why i always ruin things. can people please care about wild animals in a way that does not involve humans. do not pet them do Not feed them. Leave Them Alone.

#also telling people (Especially family) to fucking leave foxes and racoons alone and to not feed them is a fucking sisyphean task. they do #not need your help in getting food. they have survived this long perfectly fine without your help. you are actively #harming them by feeding them and petting them. they are a wild animal. do not treat them like a fucking domestic cat.#no you cannot 'rescue' that fox orphan you are treating it like it is a cat and letting it around you toddler. it will not survive on its #own because you have doomed it by not letting it be a wild animal. please understand this. Please.#anyways! i sure do have feelings about animals and humans interacting with them. wild animals in general have been a lifelong #interest and it pisses me off so fucking bad to see someone who doesnt even know what a possums diet is #get mad at me for telling them not to feed the possum. i know more than you. im not even trying to feel superior i Objectively #know more than you about this. please listen to me. do not feed that animal cat food.

they've got some fuckin corgi-ass lookin yotes out in Oregon apparently

#taxidermy #vulture culture #''''''legs''''' those aren't legs they're friggin NUBS! I've seen possums with more legskins than that!#yes i did nab him last minute because the face was actually really good #especially since even at the 300-400 range you're typically only finding derpy looking mounts. and this was a quarter of that price #I don't really need the backhide except maybe as a table accent so depending on the tan quality I'll prob sell it on its own #or throw it in with the bulk stuff #....which at this point I really #(REALLY)#need to go through since it's been amassing for like four years now and the boxes are unwieldy

Possum has been added to the roster! If the original Jet Set Radio can have your pet dog become anthropomorphic and skate because some cyborgs put a cube on his head, then I can make a possum control a skating robot.

This was fun, it was very hard to design a helmet like that. I wish it was real

#rtumblr #Rtumblr characters? in jet set radio? more likely than you think #Froge Creates #c!possum

while a nightmare on elm street 2 is very clearly about the fears associated with being closeted, i do love that freddy as an explicit metaphor for/manifestation of trauma narrative is still present. with freddy possessing jesse it feels so evocative of the cycle of abuse and how survivors can be terrified of perpetuating the harm they faced and hurting others

#a nightmare on elm street #a nightmare on elm street 2 #i truly did not expect to like this movie as much as i do #tbh i like it even more than the first one #very different films on the surface but this actually reminds me a lot of possum #txt #mine #films

I've just had the delightful realization (again) that this is my story, and I can put whatever I want into it. Including a shape changing vampire.

#i have to keep reminding myself that it is ok for me to write something that is silly or doesn't make sense (rough draft)#or that maybe no one else on earth would enjoy #it has been...difficult...trying to unlearn more than a decade of things that wormed into my brain #and left me desperate to write but constantly avoiding writing what i actually wanted to write #because it wasn't serious enough or maybe my character was *too much* of a self-insert etc.#anyway. i'm not writing a scene i may or may not keep but it came to me out of nowhere #and i was like :( too bad i can't write that because i should be working on my nano story #and that would be too silly to add to this story #but then i remembered that IT'S *MY* STORY and I can write a scene about a vamp bat hitting a window #or about a unicorn getting a flag stuck to their horn #or a witch accidentally turning her housemate into a possum #etc etc etc #if you've read all this: hi! sorry :/ hope you have a lovely day and something nice happens 🖤

you know what, one of the biggest problems rsd causes in my everyday life is that it makes me incapable of predicting how other people will respond to criticism.

like, i'm an editor. my job is writing constructive feedback. but i also have rsd, so i have an intense emotional reaction whenever i receive feedback, no matter how well-meant or carefully worded it is. which is something i've been working on! hard! in my own life! and i'm maybe a little bit better at it--those reactions dont go away (because of fucking course they don't, can nothing ever be easy) but i'm better at just fuckin. riding them out and coming back to whatever i was working on once the Devastating Shame And Sorrow has run its course. HOWEVER. there are Two Big Problems here wrt my Job, which are as follows:

I do not have an accurate internal barometer for What Will Make My Client Feel Bad in terms of criticism, because Everything Makes Me Feel Bad. it feels like i should be able to trust my instincts but my instincts are the enemy of concise feedback because they read any comment i leave on the work and go "oh no that will make him feel bad enough to disengage with the work entirely, you need to add a full paragraph of explanation in order to circumvent that. I'm working on it, i think i'm getting there, but it's something that feels like it should be automatic and it's fuckin annoying that it isnt.

There Are Other People With RSD In The World And Some Of Them Need Their Papers Edited. i know this for a fact, so i am feel even more Adrift when trying to find the right tone for my comments, because i simply Don't Know whether i should be writing for a Normal Person with a Normal Threshold For Criticism or a person more like me (but not enough like me for that to be simple, bc everyone's rsd manifests in different ways and is triggered by different things.)

and both of those things. make my life. so much harder

#adhd #rsd #actuallyadhd #...i feel like a big part of this is also an autism thing on my part #specifically the fact that Crafting My Tone Very Carefully With The Recipient's Reaction In Mind is. a given #which i have been told it isn't for everyone. but #i'm good at catching and fixing grammar mistakes but honestly like. in a perfect world.#in a perfect world. someone would read through my comments before they got passed on to the author #hhhhhh anyway #this post brought to you by Boy This Paper Has Been More Fraught Than Anyone Expected Or Wanted It To Be #sigh sigh sigh sigh #about the possum

sucks how the brain craves even more stress after experiencing something extremely stressful

#misc.txt #vent #or at least it does for me?#I feel like nobody ever talks about it either so I'm not rly sure why it happens or if it's a common response #its the 'very slow tigers are chasing me' thing except me and the tiger are locked in a room and it's just looking at me #and I would rather it just break the silence and try to maul me #if that #makes sense #some part of my brain would rather be back in imminent and potentially life threatening danger than be stuck in this tension #because my mind is still there #and I feel like I end up craving it in the days/weeks/whatever after the thing happens. like right now.#so I'm just sitting here in my room at 1am trying to rewrite my resume while feeling more and more like a cornered possum. 👍#and it makes me feel like the thing in question wasn't that bad bc who WANTS a traumatic event to happen again/continue?#and like I don't. but my brain is still half stuck in that weird compartmentalized state #and for some reason the instinct is 'return to extreme stress now' instead of 'escape situation and get somewhere you feel safe'#it sucks bc what I need to get done tonight is extremely important #and this happens every fucking time something like this happens. what do I do here.
