The last time I worked down at Home Farm, dejunking a shed, I found a five-gallon bucket full of old bottles. Mostly those distinctive, six-sided Heinz catsup bottles, but there was one more interesting one. "Caton Spring Water Co." Where the heck did it come from. Why did my father toss it in a five gallon bucket and stick it in a shed. Many questions, no answers.

Another question is, what WAS it about those old catsup bottles that no one could ever throw them away? When I dejunked my house, I found HUNDREDS of them in the basement. I don't know how Madeline and Earl could have ever eaten that much catsup, even in a whole lifetime.

Took my kitten for a walk in his favourite forest and found this old bottle with moss growing out of it and thought it was cool

Bonus picture of the scrimble himself, his name is Alvar and he is baby

A cool bottle

i thought id put this little blurb here as it relates to "Our Rotting Hands" in a way i thought was cool

"Our Rotting Hands" is set in ye old times (the 1800s) and this bottle comes from around that time...

Of course the story wont be 100% accurate. Ive added magic, demons, demi-humans/anthropomorphic characters and elves sooo..

Take that how you will :)

The most flirtatious Logie Bear variant did use those words to mean whatever Wade wanted them to mean

Everything's coming up bottles

That's hyperbole, but somewhat accurate!

I found a mostly intact, aqua bottle in the back yard yesterday when checking on the outdoor critters. The fact that the bottle is aqua, has a suction scar on the base, and is embossed with "DAVIS" and an O or 0 on the shoulder suggested that it's pretty old, so I started googling.

It's definitely an old David OK Baking Powder bottle. The top and a portion of one side are missing unfortunately. Since the glass itself is fairly thin I suspect it was made in the 1930s or 1940s.

More deets below.

My house was built in 1895, so I'm surprised I haven't found more old bottles and stuff in the yard before this. My husband and I did find some stuff under the house when we did serious repairs a few years ago. When my neighbor had a new septic system put in, she said I could look for anything interesting in the dirt that was disturbed when they put in the new drain field. I did find a few things!

Anyway, I found the broken bottle just beside the concrete my husband poured in a post hole for the fence he put up for the outdoor critters. To our surprise, the ground seems to be settling. I think between that and rain the bottle found its way to the surface. I'll check along the other post holes in the coming weeks.

Twin Runes by @akanemnon their artstyle is so gorgeous i hope I did it justice

Old bottle, 4 mar 2021

actually while im on the httyd topic I have something else to say. I really hate post httyd 1 toothless and the way the marketing took the design.

I know everyone has talked about this so much already but man it just really REALLY hits especially when looking at footage from the old movie again. the head shape being pug-ified... bigger puppier squarer eyes. almost no trace of the ability of actually having slit pupils. the erasure of his markings. the toning down of his night blue iridescent sheen in certain lights in favor of pure monochrome black... it is such a downgrade.

I think something the movies after the first one rly fail at is in making dragons feel fearsome. they just get reduced to cool pets and that´s just... weird imo. I know in the books dragons are pets too but they get treated as hunting dogs too. it would have been cool to explore that as opposed to just "huge as fuck dogs/cats that also fly"

they are creatures that have shared the world with people for aeons, hunting and being hunted. it´s two species going toe to toe head to head for centuries. a tamed wolf is still a wolf and wolves are dangerous. it's sad that we didn't get that. i know a lot of it is bc its a kids movie but man... man. let them keep a bit of their edge at least... its part of what makes them so cool. its part of the stakes of everything!
