my love my dear <3 blows u a kiss. 1, 20 and 30 for the asks :-3?

HIII MWAH!! I push you down the stairs beloved!!!

1 . what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

Oh you had to pick the hard one huh. | I really have no idea about what shaped me... I suppose that dinosaurs did? Classic kid thing to start fixations with, those things consumed my childhood and I still love them. It's thanks to them that I branched into drawing dragons, then got to where I am. Casual eldritch/biology enjoyer. Games for sure, 100%. Honestly I think my neighbour falls into this place too. He was the younger brother but I got on way better with him. I'd say we were almost best friends, we'd spend majority of our afternoons throughout all his primary school years (+2 of my high school years) playing Skylanders together and talking about Pokemon. We saw each other almost daily!! I don't know where he is now or how he's doing, but I hope he's doing great out there. He was a good kid, I wouldn't want anything else for him and for how much he helped me become who I am today. I hope he knows how much he still means to me after all this time.

Music. I think would have to be the last thing I can think of. My music taste has changed so much since the start of high school but regardless it was my crutch. My silence was always filled with music if I could help it. On the bus, in the car, at home. It's still the same now too. Music stops me from overthinking and fearing and I always tend to tear up at random moments listening to random songs. I would and do always daydream to it and it powered/powers my thoughts like nothing else. Music kept my creativity alive, especially when I developed some intense anxiety/depression during early years of high school. For that I owe it everything.

20. favourite things about the night?

Oh yes an easy question, PHEW. It's dark, quiet, peaceful, nice on the eyes and generally peak hours 'cause everyone's asleep. Nothing is nicer than having a window open to the darkness outside, hearing the wind blow a cool breeze by. Orange streetlights over the road or Christmas decorations in the dark. Nothing quite as hypnotizing as driving at night and seeing the lights go by in spotty patterns. During the day people are active and about, supposed to be awake and full of energy. I'm a very chill, tired person most of the time and the night is so much less stressful to me. It's down time for everyone and that means I can vibe at my most comfortable. Did I mention it's dark? Light hurts my eyes </3 That's also why I love cloudy af days.

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

Cat. My cat. Idk how you're supposed to not feel happy when you're near a little, fluffy creature that loves you. Easy mood booster.

I'm in love with the idea of a swap au now so I'll be posting about it, live with it

PLS IMAGINE A HERMES-EURYLOCHUS VERSION OF MY GOODBYE

I'M NOT GOOD AT CREATING LYRICS SO I CAN'T REWRITE MY GOODBYE TO FIT THEIR CHARACTERS BUT JUST TRY AND IMAGINE IT 😭 I would tweak irl

[hermitcraftx]

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.

no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this

[luvrxbunny]

soooo um guys! please don’t be this person!! i think i made it clear that i’m a sensitive person, so if don’t ask for criticism…

don’t give it!

i only ask for criticism if i know i can handle it and i really didn’t want any so i didn’t ask for any

but if you’re just going to ignore the fact that i didn’t ask u for criticism… and u give it anyway. i least make it polite and constructive

i know there are other comments telling me about the spanish but this one was particularly rude!

i really don’t know what you guys want me to do..? i don’t speak spanish.. i tried my best so :/

i’m not the kind of person to talk abt someone behind their back so @itsmenickiandari just letting u know that ur a prime example of someone that i wouldn’t mind if they just avoided my blog in the future :)

~ justifying having eaten fatty food by knowing how it makes me feel so physically disgusting I won’t be able handle living in my body anymore therefore I am more tempted to off myself <3

and yet it never happens . . .

[sillyshifterbean]

my career in my f1 dr is crazy cuz I casually pull up in like 2026 aged 16 and win a race but this race was the first time I ever sit in an f1 car that isn't a sim (mclaren was considering signing me for f1 academy but extenuating circumstances and also lando breaking his arms and pato unable to step in means that they just pull me up from f2) but due to fia tomfoolery I can't go back to f2 so I spend a few years doing whatever and then I debut under andretti in 2027 or 2028 idek

edit: still working on the actual dates and stuff

[majicmarker]

there is nothing that inspires Rage within my body like having to input basically the same book search keywords with the bare minimum of tweaks to check their competition analytics

(i.e., when i'm doing promo text and marketing, i have to brainstorm keywords potential readers might use while they're book-browsing online so we can get our clients' books into their orbit. we have this program that analyzes estimated monthly searches, number of similar products, forecasted earnings, etc., based on popular keyword searches. very nifty!!!!!!!!!

(however.

(when i have to separately input, say, "search for a killer" and then "search for a murderer" and then "search for a criminal" and then "hunting for a killer" and then "hunting down a killer" and then "hunting for a murderer" and then "hunting down a murderer," u see where this is going, ON AND ON, because none of them are projecting the kind of results deemed worthy of use? that's it. i've lost my whole mind.)

[promisinininining]

Spent too long looking at bunny charm now it's bed time 😔. Hoping to get a small snippet done to post tomorrow. Specifically the brocon jinyuu, because if people are going to incest code them then I'm going to take it to the logical conclusion (although they're not REALLY brothers in this one so we're still a step away from the final destination, which DOES exist in my drafts).

Adventures In Dark Green Chocolate

“i sure would like too” - saved snip title

I started planning MCC’s Green Guardians dessert back in July and little did I know that acquiring dark green melting chocolate would end up being the hardest part of the project. A real Indiana Jones style adventure lmao. 

(Click keep reading for The Adventure)

Not only does dark green happen to be the only colour Sweet Tooth Fairy doesn’t stock, but Wilton’s candy melts aren’t sold here (although apparently they taste bad now so *shrug*) and Bulk Barn only stocks Merken’s seasonally.

Really wanting to make this, I decided to try Wilton candy dye with white chocolate instead of using coloured wafers. However, the green dye ended up being too light, even when adding a lot, and mixing in black desaturated the colour. Not to mention that the black dye had turned into a paste in its container before I’d even opened it and made it near impossible to measure the amount being added.

Fortunately for me, Jay (chocolate crow) and Autumn in Philza’s chat were kind enough to help with the colour saturation issue (ph1lLove catKISS).

Unfortunately for me, after some trial and error, the Green Guardian’s dark green turned out to be more yellow-green then blue-green. Double unfortunate for me is that Wilton does have a candy dye pack with yellow, but those weren’t available.

Now back at square one, I headed to Micheal's, bought a box of Satin Ice candy dye since they looked darker and… walked into Bulk Barn for white chocolate to find they’d started stocking the Merken’s dark green wafers ahead of the holiday season. Yes, it was November by this time. Yes, it was pain and suffering to see them.

The Merken’s wafers were still more blue-green then expected, but adding some orange wafers (also in stock) helped keep the colour from becoming too light while turning it yellow-green. After that, all I needed to do was make it darker. 

The black melting wafers weren’t in stock (and, with my luck, probably won’t be until Halloween), but I still had the Satin Ice colour I’d bought. Although I might have been able to try melting some Sweet Tooth Fairy black wafers, I was worried that mixing brands would cause the chocolate to separate.

But, ta-da!, I got the dark green I was looking for! … Well kinda. The colour looked perfect in the candy mold, but was way too dark when piped or dipped into. At this point, though, MCC was set for December 3rd and I really wanted to share this, even if it wasn’t exactly right.

However, I do still think I was on the right track and that the edits to my process will net a more accurate colour.

So, what did I learn from this? Aside from Canada’s apparent hatred of dark green chocolate wafers /j. 

I don’t know… I think if there's one thing it would be patience? Even when I was lamenting back in July that the wafers weren’t in stock now, I had reason to assume they would be later. And waiting to see would have saved me money on the candy dye and white chocolate.

So, I guess the thing to bring into future projects is to really think about if what I’m looking for is likely to be in stock/back in stock before trying a workaround - even if I’m really excited. Especially if the season for that thing to be in stock is close(ish) and not after when I’m hoping to have something out for.
