Reminds me of a roundabout in the capital of Nicaragua. (Several years ago.) My first roundabout ever, and it was FIVE LANES and PEOPLE WERE WALKING IN BETWEEN THE CARS SELLING FOOD!

(It was related to some political event, but I am not sure what it was.)

The driver was calm, but I was scared. AAAAHHH!!!

Easily, one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

Years later, my town got roundabouts. A single lane for each, but it was a new concept to town. They have one that overlaps with a rail road track. The first week, I saw headlight fragments on the street. Haven't seen a lot of issues since.

It is such an odd concept when you are new to them, but as long as you can watch your surroundings, pay attention to the other drivers, and go in the correct direction, you can also face and conquer roundabouts!

The rock makes more sense after reading the tags.

Thinking of how Jien collects things that remind her of her home during her missions and simple outings, sometimes it can range from one item, a simple souvenirs, but other times it is bags worth of items and she sends them all to her house on the Xianzhou, essentially hoarding all the little things in which she finds a sense of belonging. Her collection grows every time she goes somewhere. It makes me sad.

#-stories of old #oc ramble #oc #hsr oc #she has a vidyadharan friend that takes care of her home while she is away on missions and she receives all these packages so they're not #damaged #and when Jien returns its this more traditional looking home full of souvenirs and rocks and paintings and embroidery pieces #carpets made by hand with thick wool or thread with flower motifs or tigers or lions #there's children's toys in one room #still in their bags #it's a little museum of memories she's trying to scrape by from this world and freeze time #she often sits in silence or soft tunes as she soaks in all these things she collected #she doesn't move them much either #she keeps them all in one place and its all organized - she could find these places if she was blind or in the dark #:((#honkai star rail

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

I would like to ask Lavinia about her rock collection. favorite rocks, most special rocks? How did the collection start?

Lavinia's rock collection started when she first started gardening. She would pick up stones around town or in the desert to separate her beds and mark where her plantings are. Over time, she started to pay more attention to the rocks she was picking up, getting more choosy, and going out to look for them specifically.

When she had more rocks than her garden feasibly needed, she just started piling them up and making little cairns and sculptures. The most unusual or interesting ones went into her jewelry box. When she traveled, she would look for new types of rocks. One day, she bought a rock identification book, hoping to figure out the name of some crystals she'd picked up on a cave tour (not allowed. she had to sneak them out past the guide).

The book not only answered her questions, but also informed her of the existence of rock collecting conventions and contests. Lavinia had never really thought of what she was doing as a hobby, but this was interesting and oh, there was one not too far away in just a few months. Why not take a trip and see how it is? Probably nothing that special. hope this doesnt awaken anything in me dot jpeg

Lavinia's collection now contains several thousand rocks. A few highlights:

#thank you for asking!#the hainu quartz was a souvenir from a childhood trip to the zephyr steppes and predates the rest of the collection #the space rock was purchased from an aether

Y’know, the Discworld books/fandom really doesn’t make enough of the way Carrot, whose girlfriend is a werewolf, went to the moon.

#Carrot brings back a moon rock as a souvenir #Angua: I can’t have that in the house; I’m allergic #discworld

i’m going to cry… rock’s child inherits the most feral abnormal messed up dna of any child ever and still ends up being the most well-adjusted one (rock’s nurture overcoming his and his child’s nature)

(this is from this rrreddit post. if you’re wondering why molly and rock’s kids are low energy…. i have no idea why 規則正しい was translated “energy” either because it‘s more like “orderly”…? i’m not native in jp so idk)
