[theunseenwanderer]

the rain sounds nice.

i love the rain. do you like the rain?

i never understood why the rain was seen negatively. it’s magical. water falling from the sky! how beautiful is that?

the rain refreshes the ground and cleans the air. it fills our streams and lakes. the rhythm against the rooftop is a lullaby to fall asleep to. and yet, it’s always met with sour expressions.

perhaps im strange, but i have a sense of peace when i find out it’s raining. it’s like a soft whisper telling me it’s going to be okay. i can rest. i don’t have to think. the world has paused. it’s okay. it’s okay.

and right now, as i’m writing this, i am listening to the rain tap on my window. everything is okay.

I love rain.

I love its smell, the clean, crisp, cold air it brings. That specific smell, fresh and delicious, clearing out the air and my head.

I love waking up and/or falling asleep to the sound of rain pattering on the roof. The soft drips, the pounding lashes, the fat, heavy drops, the drizzle, the torrent, the in between. The calm ambiance of the sounds of rain.

I love watching it splash outside and ripple in puddles, slowly filling up the sidewalk with dark splotches. Painting the windows with water. Sticking to my hair, my glasses, my clothes, my, eyelashes.

I love its ambient, neutral, even lighting, and how it makes everything look outside, darker, deeper. The grass greener, the tree bark darker, the colors of the flowers more vibrant. The road is shiny and slick, midnight reflecting the bright sky.

I love the rolling low clouds, grey and eternal, full of depth yet depthless, blue, angry, depressed, gloomy, brushed, light.

I love the taste when you catch a drop on your tongue, sweet, alive, wise, childlike.

I love dancing in the rain.

I love rain.

Finally shared a snack break with my pals at the park this evening

I had peanut butter crackers and they had frozen peas

The one with the speckled beak was literally shaking idk if it was cold or if it was like, scared of me, but it did eat out of my hand a few times so I wouldn't think that was the case

Edit: I looked it up and apparently ducks shake when they're really happy or excited?? bc their brains don't really have any other way to process/express emotions like that?? and like omg that's so fucking cute?? <3 <3 <3

(Plz don't tell me if this is false unless it's smthn I actually need to be aware of like for the ducks' safety or smthn bc otherwise you will break my heart and I will not forgive you)

Also I'm just gonna go on a tangent about my outing today bc it was nice

There was the eclipse today but it was too cloudy where I live to see it, I was lowkey kinda sad abt it but then it started raining so automatically the day got better

I decided to take a walk since it's usually too hot nowadays and walking in the rain is glorious and peaceful, but I turned around to go back and get the peas out of my freezer so I could go to the park and feed the ducks, grabbed some snacks for myself as well and went on my way

So I get to the park, worried bc the rain has kinda stopped, but it started back up again after I got there (the rain loves me so much I asked her to come back for me and she did)

I sat myself down at the end of the little dock/peninsula thing and the ducks came over to me and I told them I'd brought snacks this time like I said I would and started feeding them the peas

After a while I was like ok guys it's my turn to have a snack and I broke out the crackers and put on an episode of gravity falls (it was escape from reality from season 2, I got a little emotional tbh the pines really are the siblings of all time) and the rain really picked up then so we were getting pelted but we just kept hanging out, I'd toss them a handful of peas every so often until I ran out of everything

So then I got up and dusted myself off (and wiped the rainwater off my phone lol), bid my buddies goodbye and promised to come back at some point, and went over to the playground, which was empty since it was so rainy

Idk if you'll know what I'm talking about when I describe this thing that's over there, but it's like a rope jungle gym? Like a web of ropes suspended by metal poles? Anyway, I climbed up into that thing, got settled and put on my rainy day playlist and just chilled for a while

(The funky structure in question)

After hanging around in my makeshift nest for a bit, I eventually left the park, went the long-ass way home, and stopped for coffee on the trip back but I had finished it by the time I got to my building lol

Anyway I did a lot of fucking walking today for someone who was almost too exhausted to get out of bed and who's been having trouble with their legs being weirdly weak lately, but it was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon tbh

Whenever you feel sad, remember Laios would also only get 3-10 notes on Tumblr posts. You’re not alone.

Sisters! ❤️

this is just tally hall, right?

[itriedtopetaunicornonce]

Just an appreciation for Taylor during rain shows because its gorgeous and I’m obsessed

[phoenixlionme]

I REALLY love Raine putting their hand on Eda's waist in this shot. Eda is now in her very tall, harpy form but Raine still has their hand on the former's waist. It's so cute.

PAY WHAT YOU WANT SKETCH COMMISSIONS!

I’m doing PWYW sketches over on my Ko-Fi!

(if you don’t have ko-fi, just shoot me a dm!)

They’re maximum one character, buuut for my g/t folks I don’t mind adding in a hand/doing a handheld. To guarantee that, you’ll need to select the add-on option and pay extra for it. Otherwise, the minimum is just $1 USD!

I’ll be moving to a rental trailer soon and I’d like to have at least 3 months of rent in my savings account before I do that, and I’d like to move as soon as possible. Every cent counts.

Thank you everyone, again, for your endless support. Every like, reblog, comment, tag, donation, etc… all of it means the entire world to me. I would’ve given up on art a long time ago without that same love and support.

The YCH raffle is still going to happen, BTW! Things are a bit hectic so the most I can manage is sketches, but once that dies down I’ll be posting that.

Me when we're mooties with cool, wonderful people:

AAAAAAAAAA

also sorry for the tag, i just had to show you my appreciation. (Dm us for removal lol)

Cw: very,very long post under the cut

(Dont ask why am i doing this at 2 am. I dont know.)

Our mooties in question:

@the-church-of-strabismus

I had to put you first. You have been our moot for a long time, but you are not just a moot, you are one of our best friends (and our online sibling, ofc!). You are just really wonderful and i hope everything goes right for you, always!!!! (Also i can still offer you our eyes if you want/j). We love uuuu! /p

@cool-username-ig

Did i ever tell you you are amazing? You have been there for us since we joined tiktok, all confused about everything. You were always a funny individual, and a cool one at that (just like your username lol). Stay cool and wonderful, remember we love you!! /p (also rock on, fellow tma fan.)

@gaywitchshowfan

We unfortunatly dont know a lot about you, but what we do know is that you are great, and very interesting! Im glad you finally found your identity, or at least that you feel like this one fits you, for now. You clearly have a good taste at tv shows (judging by your username. I hope im not mistaken when i assume your username is a the owl house reference). Keep rocking on!!

@mygraine

AAAAAA. Would this be a good appreciation post if i wouldnt include the coolest being in the world? I think we screamed out loud when we became moots (Ask seraphim, we were overjoyed in their dms). The flags you make are so good, i wish i could just eat them instead of food. We absolutly adore everything you make!

@somepoetwannabe

Ofcourse, if i make a mooties appreciation post, i have to include this cool system. You guys are awsome!! I will admit i dont know a lot about you, but i know enough to consider you our friend. You are genuinly awsome. I wish you the best!!

@rwuffles

AAA. I know we only recently became mooties, but you are so cool that not including you would have been a stupid thing, really. Your flags are AMAZING, and so are you!! We wish to know you better tbh, lol.

@muttfail

Hey, look who it is! Our online cousin! Really, i also dont know you enough, but your blog theme is really cool. And i know one thing for sure: All your outfits are fire, you look awsome. Keep dressing like the coolest person ever.

Im so SO sorry if i frogot someone, like i said its 2 am and i'll probably add you in the morning.

A wonderful commission done by @loremaster of my beloveds in the Project Ninjin AU !! They did absolutely amazing and I am more than honored to receive a commission from them !! 🥺💕✨🥂

[justkeepwalkingnothinghere]

The way they look at Eda here is just so…indescribable. I want to say everything about it but no words are worthy for the sheer amount of love, awe and admiration in their eyes. Not even my own brain can find the right words for it.

The look is just so- AAAHHH!! It’s just so full of love and my heart cannot handle this! I need someone to sedate me, ASAP!
