#still havent gotten to work on finals today

[lesbonym]

★ I have been going nonstop all day. Someone, please put me out of my misery

[icewindandboringhorror]

Well! I started remodeling the house sooo long ago (original post of it back in 2018), then got distracted and forgot it in the closet for a long time, ignored it on and off, etc... Then, finally finished the house in 2022. THEN, I forgot about the pictures I took of it in 2022, and am now posting them in 2024.. A good example of how the timeline of my side craft projects usually go lol

But, at least I do have the photos now, so... finally sharing them ! 

I just used a blue sheet as a 'sky' and a green sweater with some fake flowers on it to try to look like it was on grass lol...

(more images under the readmore)

The bedroom-

The library/potion room -

The living room area-

Then the little kitchen

The pictures are not very good, but these are the best I could find? I filmed a video of me working on the whole thing (who knows when that will be out..if it took me TWO years just to post the photos lol), so I think while I was taking the pictures, I was thinking “eh, they don’t have to be great, since I’ll show it in more detail in the video :3″, but now I kind of regret not having more actual detail shots or anything.

(sidenote: I'm pretty sure I've posted better pictures of some of the individual rooms before though too? sometime before I had added the finishing touches but when they were basically done and looked almost the same as these. so maybe it's okay that these are kind of bad lol)

I think progress on it also stalled a bit due to the pandemic starting, since like 90% of the stuff in here is random things I found at the bins (giant goodwill donation center where you dig through tubs of various items all thrown together), so once I couldn’t go out to the bins anymore, I lost my method of hunting for new items, and just had to work with whatever scraps I already had or could make myself with very few materials/tools.  The bins is a really large and always crowded place, so it's still not safe for me to go with current community transmission levels lol... who knows when I shall be able to use it to get dirt cheap crafting supplies ever again.. T o T

ANYWAY! It was a fun little project, even though of course it's a little rough around the edges and not exactly as I'd envisioned lol. As usual, I always enjoy the MAKING of things the most, yet then have no idea what to do with the finished project, since the process is what's enjoyable to me.

I think I'm going to take all the glued down furniture out of it and then repaint it, then maybe donate the base house back to the same thrift store I found it at. Like completing some sort of crafting circle of life or something lol

slowly making some progress on the doll house I’m trying to remodel!

══════════════════

“You’re cooking?”

Satan pauses in the doorway with a confused expression, reading glasses perched high on his nose. You hummed in affirmation, as your free hand pointed to the table. His gaze followed your finger and landed on the bottle of blueberry juice.

“Is that for me?” He questions, walking over to pick up the bottle to inspect the label closer.

“Don’t you always crave this when you start to read?” You counter, as you grab a pan to start on your cooking. Satan falls silent as he continues to watch you move around, seeming as though he wanted to ask you a question. 

“Why are you cooking?”

“He’s sleeping.” You clarified. You had taken it upon yourself to whip up dinner since Belphie, who was supposedly in charge of cooking, was still knocked out cold in the attic. None of the usual tactics had worked so instead of wasting more time, you decided it would be better to start on cooking.

Satan just blanks at you with a inquisitive expression.

Ah, it must not have been what you used to do. The past you would have probably just gotten takeout on Lucifer’s dime or somehow, one way or another gotten Belphie awake. It’s been a couple of days since you had gotten back to your current timeline but you were still not used to the change. It seemed that the servitude was surprisingly ingrained deeper than you had thought.

The buzzing of your D.D.D thrums over the indistinct sizzling from the pan. None of the brothers has gone out today. Thus, it leads to the question. Who was calling you?

 With a furrow, you checked the caller ID. 

Caller ID: Solomon <3

“Ah, you picked up. I’m about to head home, and I was wondering what’s for dinner. If we’re missing anything, I can buy it on the way back.” The voice on the other side crackled pleasantly. You shift your D.D.D down so you could use your shoulder to hold it against your ear. 

“Devil duck confit.” You bent over slightly to let Solomon hear the sizzling from the pan. This was one of Solomon’s favourite (though to be fair, he is one of the least pickiest eater you have seen in your life, second to Beel). It also helped that you had some leftover duck meat from the previous night to prepare the dish.

Solomon lets out a laugh.

“I can’t wait, I’ll get some Demonus to go with the meal too. See you later.” He coos at you before hanging up the phone.

You slid the phone back into your pocket when you met eyes with Satan who was giving you a look that practically screamed what-the-hell as you belatedly realise your mistake.

“Uh.” You started. “I cooked an extra portion for Solomon.” 

Satan’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “Since when were you that close to him?” 

“Since now…?” 

Satan continues to stare at you suspiciously. “Is he coming here or are you going to Purgatory Hall?”

“Uh… let me ask him.” You clearly hadn’t thought that far ahead in your lie. With a sheepish smile, you brought out your D.D.D to shoot him a message.

[6:45PM] You: do you want to come to my place here for dinner or should i bring it over to Purgatory Hall?

[6:47PM] Solomon <3: Ah right. I forgot that we no longer live together.

[6:47PM] Solomon <3: Would you mind meeting me outside of the House of Lamentation? We can go to the nearby park to eat. It’s been a while since we had a date alone.

[6:50PM] You: 👍

a/n ▸I finally got that solomon call so here is my addition lol also i clearly havent gotten far/played nightbringer so my characterisations could be completely wrong so uhhh just ignore it LOL

[datesinredink]

Heyyy so maybe I'm insane but. Do NOT Take This Cat Home (which I'll shorten to Dnttch) yandere rottmnt au. Hmmm. I havent slept in 24 hours so I don't know how you would meet them but I do know that it would be very fun to think about how the weird eldritch horror/"OH NO THEY EAT PEOPLE" part would come into play.

Oh wait actually IDEA you could start off meeting one of the turtles (probably Mikey, he'd be most likely to stick around instead of eating you and convince you to take him home because he's so lost and hungry in this new place, couldn't you pleeaaase take pity on this poor turtle?) and then over time, since we know in the Dnttch universe, the cat multiplies in at least two ways (I, in fact have not seen all the endings yet), so the first turtle could gather the other three over time. One could be from a plushie in the pet shop or won at the carnival (prob Raph), the second could be from the movie theater (Leo, I think the hypnosis is weirdly fitting for him), and the final one... Wait. I'm not sure. THERES A LITTLE LIVE PETS TURTLE???? YEAH OK THATS FUNNY I'LL PUT IT IN.

Buuuuuuttttt after the four are all gathered and living in your house (despite your insistence that you couldn't possibly afford to support them. luckily, despite occasionally waking up and seeing one of them in the corner of your room drooling, they've never shown any need to eat) they've gotten a bit attached. They saw you as a possible meal, at first, then a convenient hiding place, but they seem to have found themselves getting attached. They decide that since you've helped them soo much, that they should at least return the favor before they decide to eat you(something you're frighteningly aware they've almost done- the still healing scar from the last time the red one visited your room) or leave.

Now, you feel constant eyes staring holes into your back, and your rude coworkers now either show up on the news with their bones picked almost clean or don't turn up at all. Now, sometimes they'll bring back one of their kills to share with you (after all, aren't you hungry? They've seen you eat, but surely it isn't filling enough to really sustain you- to them, that's why you seem so tired all the time). Since you always turn them down, maybe instead they'll just have you help them store the leftovers!

Raph, as they've taken to calling the biggest of them, eats more frequently than the others to sustain his growth, so there can sometimes be extras that the other three don't particularly want at the time. He even goes out of his way to help you with tearing and cutting apart the meat! It's almost sweet, if only for the weight of what exactly you're putting in Tupperware right now.

Leo gets more aggressive about your attention now, always begging you to play games or watch TV with him. Sometimes he's even fine with just reading comics in the same place, as long as he gets to hold onto you in some way. It's annoying at best in the morning when you have to go to work, but downright terrifying when his marks flare up late at night after you've just insisted for the 10th time that you're tired and don't want to deal with him. Usually, the threat of flickering blue light vaguely forming some kind of sword is enough to convince you otherwise.

Mikey tries his best to help you adjust to your new roommates! He knows how stressed out you are about work, you should tell him about it! He'll even take notes about how they can all brighten your day, so feel free to speak your mind about that horrible lady who yelled at you today. Was she your boss? A coworker? Maybe a customer who asked for the manager? He'll give you a warm hug and reassure you that everything will be ok, and that maybe you should teach him a new recipe from granny's cookbook tonight to take your mind off things! The scene you wake up to the next morning is Mikey humming to himself while the girl's flesh sizzles in the pan you let him borrow last night, Raph drooling over said slab of meat, as well as Donnie and Leo playing the most intense game of rock paper scissors (a game they're glad you taught them- how else would they make decisions) to decide who gets the first plate of food.

Donnie's always useful to have around, his fascination with human technology quickly being honed into electronic mastery. Despite his more reclusive nature, he's still gotten you out of many a pinch with malfunctioning devices, like when you sorrowfully cradled your old toaster in your arms on your way to trash it, only for him to take it from you and return it a couple days later fixed up like new. You appreciate his contributions, and though you're the beta tester for a multitude of his dangerous inventions, with the amount he does for you, it's hard to not feel like you owe him, especially when he himself openly agrees with that point. You just wish he'd give you a break from the explosions...

☆ - Gym crush!

gn!reader

im just in my gym rat era so i had to do this...i didnt want this to be the first fic i publish but here we are...

v small nsfw mention in sae's part

characters; kunigami, sae, rin

Kunigami Rensuke;

pre-wc;

you meet at the gym, both relatively new to it

you learn together, always trying out new things

never ask for each other's number but still somehow end up at the gym at the same time

"what are you hitting today?" "it's leg day" "aw sucks to be you...jk i'll join you"

"need a spotter?"

he's definitely your gym crush and you always try to look extra good in front of him

trust me he's doing the same

always helps you rerack your weights!

gym bros till death do you apart

death or...blue lock.

post-wc;

kunigami just disappears for MONTHS and comes back like nothing happened

except now he wont even greet you

he completely ignores you when you ask him where he's been

you are motivated to show him your progress but you don't see him even glancing at you

"need a spotter" you would ask him, but he would simply say you are too weak

and looking at his weights, he's right

like damn how many plates is he squatting??

he would still save you if you failed a bench press though

"thanks...but i would've gotten it" "stop lying to urself"

maybe he warms up to you eventually...

i mean you never stopped going to the gym, it shows your resolve

and you didn't change at all, you still work as hard as ever and look so damn good while doing so.

Itoshi Rin;

he noticed how every sunday, you would run on the treadmill for at least an hour straight

how fast are u going??? he would always try to sneak a glance at your settings when he walks past

he would also do his warm ups on the treadmills, secretly cheering when only the one next to you is available

one sunday, you aren't there

he's actually...worried? you are there every single sunday, so why not now?

he's so relieved to see you there the sunday after that, maybe you were just sick

the thing is, he doesn't see you on any other days. he's hoping it's just cause you go at a different time, and not because you only go on sundays...

nah you have too much muscle for you to only go to gym once a week to run

but he wont change his workout times just for some person he sees once a week at the gym...until he does.

he starts going a bit earlier and later, hoping to catch at least a glimpse of you

it takes a while but he's finally there at the same time as you

you notice him, "i havent seen you here at this time before"

he's flustered, you've actually noticed him and are now talking to him???

"yeah, just changing things up a bit." he just wanted to see u!!

u always ask him to spot you and he just cant say no

one time you almost got crushed under the bar because he was busy admiring your face

yeah...he definitely has a crush on you!! but will he ever take it a step further...probably not. have you noticed...? of course you have, that's exactly why you always ask him.

Itoshi Sae;

this guy has been watching you squat since day 1

eyes glued to your ass, maybe it wasn't so impressive in the beginning but it definitely is now

he makes sure to always be at the gym when it's your squat day

of course you've noticed...you make sure to wear those gym pants that make your ass look so good!!

sometimes he stares for too long, suddenly realizing that he's just been sitting for 10 minutes

one day you come up to him, saying that you are gonna attempt a pr and need a spotter

jesus christ he almost choked on his drink

"sure." staying as cool as ever.

but watching your ass from so close almost stirs up a problem in his pants

"good job." he'll say to you afterwards, walking off.

you are kind of disappointed, he's always looking at you and that's all you get??

but no worries he'll be thinking of that sight for a while!!

slowly adjusts his schedule so that he's always coming on the same days as you

makes sure that only he spots you

also makes sure that no one else glances your way when you are squatting

cause you are HIS gym crush, not anyone else's

one day he finally gets the courage to actually talk to you

he's surprised when you call him by his name but then he remembers that he's basically a celebrity

you introduce yourself, and he's so close to asking you out on the spot

"i've seen you play on the tv, you are so good! i'd love to learn to play!"

Perfect.

he asks u to come with him to the field after your workout for lesson number one

about damn time, you think

playing football after a leg workout wasn't the easiest but maybe sae made it a bit easier for you to manage

CHAPTER 3

Ghost x Reader x Konig

Neighbor!au and Roommate!au

About me | Masterlist |

Author's note: Hey hey hey! It's been a while hahahs I actually have chapter 4 and chapter 5 planned out but i havent got the energy to write them :') All i can say is that everything in this story has been going too well right now... >:)

(Also if you have any fanfic ideas/ asks feel free to send an ask or dm me :D)

You’re waiting once again for Simon to pick you up from work. It’s now become an almost daily thing for a month now, the two of you. You’d finish work, Simon would show up in his pickup truck and occasionally the two of you would eat dinner together.

Okay, you do partially feel as if you’re cheating on Konig in some way by having dinner with your neighbor (Konig said he had a work emergency and he was going to be gone for a month or two), but your roommate wasn’t here to keep you company anymore and you weren’t willing to eat dinner alone after being so accustomed to the company you had.

Today, the atmosphere in the car seems a little different than the rest. Just a little, though. You decide not to comment on it and buckle your seatbelt before he starts driving. “How was work?” Simon would ask the usual question. “Fine,” you would reply tiredly with a sigh. The two of you would fall into a domestic routine in such a short time, yet neither of you ever really questioned it.

The patter of rain provided a relaxing white noise as the two of you sit in comfortable silence, waiting for the traffic light to turn green. The streetlamps glisten and you turn to see Simon in his balaclava that he wears only when going on missions.

“I’m going to be deployed. Tonight.” He finally breaks it to you. “Oh.” You reply, but you can’t be sure if it sounded sad or understanding. Maybe both. “Do you know when you’re coming back?” He shrugs, eyes still fixated on the road. “I’m thinkin’ 2 months at least.”

There’s another silence that follows, but this time around it’s filled with a lot of unsaid words waiting to be spoken into existence. Simon turns to look at you. God, he wishes he didn’t because the red from the traffic light paints your features in the best way, and he doesn’t think he could forget this moment anytime soon. “You’ll be fine without me yeah?” Simon finally asks. You feel like there’s a secret message lying hidden somewhere in the question by the way he looks at you, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. “Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

---

You spend your days without Simon and Konig counting. Counting how many days it’s been since they’ve been gone, and the times you accidentally cook food for two. Today marks the 2 month mark, and to be honest, you still haven’t gotten used to your apartment engulfed in darkness when you get back from work. You sigh.

---

Simon spends his days counting unconsciously. He takes another long drag from his cigarette and watches the smoke slowly disappear into the night sky outside of a bar the team decided to celebrate their victory at. It’s a little chilly. Winter is approaching, and he hopes you’re warm and tucked into your apartment right about now. Soap stands beside him, accompanying him. “You goin’ home for Christmas, L.T?” he says. Soap expects Ghost to say no, or to say something along the lines of spending the holiday alone.

Ghost gazes at the stars which is something he doesn’t really do since he was a kid and god, he swears he still sees your face as the stars twinkle. He hums. “Got a Christmas gift for someone. Gotta give it to ‘em somehow.” Soap’s taken aback at his answer but chooses not to pry too much into his private life. Not this time at least. Suddenly the bar cheers with happiness and the clinking of beer bottles. “Happy for ya, L.T.” Soap says as a small knowing smile spreads on his lips.

---

Ghost spends the time taken for the trip back to his civilian life decompressing and when he reaches home, he wants nothing more than the dinners the two of you had before he left for the mission. But he decides the moment his duffel bag hits the floor, that he really, really needs to sleep first. That doesn’t stop him from thinking about you though, cause he dreams of the moment when he picked you up from work in his pickup truck.

You’re ecstatic when Simon tells you he’s back. You prepare dinner, finally making food for two (or three, with how much this guy eats). And you’re basically skipping when Simon knocks on your door.

Dinner with Simon is calm yet filled with excitement and happiness. You both catch up on each other’s lives, and you tell him about everything he’s missed out on since he left. You tell him about the stray orange cat that found its way into your apartment once (you still have no clue how) and has now become a visitor occasionally — you leave out the part where you subconsciously named it after him.

You’re washing the dishes and Simon’s keeping the leftovers for your lunch tomorrow when the topic of long distance relationships get brought up. “I mean, it must be hard to maintain relationships, right? Especially since you don’t get to see each other for ages.” Ghost hums in agreement, a sign that you’ve learnt to understand that he’s listening to you intently. “I can’t imagine working in the military is any easier. Hell, I felt a little sad when you left too, I can’t imagine what your girlfriend would be feeling.”

“Don’t have one.” He says. And you smile a little. “Yeah, but imagine if you did. It’ll be like one of those old war movies.” You giggle at the thought and Simon joins you in washing the dishes. “Oh, my darling,” you say in an exaggerated voice of a lover. “I don’t think I could love you anymore. The pain is too much to bear!”

Your theatrics tugs the corner of Simon’s lips upwards and he looks at you softly, arching his brow. “Y’ love me?” his voice rumbles, and it sounds something akin to the taste of vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzled on top which is weird, because you’ve never really liked the taste of caramel. Well, not until now.

There’s a certain softness in this moment, you tell yourself. There’s this feeling that you don’t think you could forget this look on his face. You blink and he’s taken the soapy cutlery from your hand and starts to wash the soap off them. “I forget how much I miss my soft bed when I come back. And being able to sleep in a little longer.” He sighs and it’s your turn to hum along. “And I missed your cooking.” He says a little softer this time, eyes focusing on the bubbles as they get washed away from the water. I missed this, you think.

Hey Lovelies <3 I hope you're having a wonderful start to your weekend (or mid weekend, wherever you are).

Tonight I'd like you to take a few moments to repeat after me, okay? It won't take long.

"I am beautiful"

"I am kind"

"I am loving"

"I am worthy"

"I am a force to be reckoned with"

"I deserve rest"

"I deserve love"

"I am enough"

You are all those things. It's easy to forget sometimes how hard we work and how far we've come. You are so many wonderful things lovelies. Remember to tell yourself that once in a while. You deserve recognition from others, but also from yourself. You are so brilliant, and you continue to surprise and delight us all every day. Rest well <3 A few more love notes from some lovely folks on instagram, feel free to visit them below :)

[al0m]

second ask bc im addicted to your art style (tastes like strawberry and blue raspberry with the texture of dragon's beard candy) do u have any takes on goat?

THANK YOU SM LYRIC!!! <33 it means the world to me hehe

I actually do have some takes on the goat

first of all, I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM

I've been meaning to draw him ever since I woke up to the update trailer and saw all the fanarts already after not even 4 hours 😭

I've been busy with going to pride so I sadly havent gotten to it during the weekend since that turned out to be a 2 day trip, I honestly feel like I missed out on an international cotl holiday with not being able to be online 💀

I finally drew them during class today tho 😈 I will post it later so stay tuned!

I'm currently trying to figure out how to add the goat to my two aus! Still unsure how it'd work in the stardew au BUT they fit perfectly into my corrupted crown au 😭

The line "summoned by blood and born in corruption" in the drop made it click right away

thank you sm for your ask I love rambling <3

[tinynap]

Wait omg thats so cute stop it 💗😭 what other buildings do u have in that server? i need some inspo if u dont mind sharing ＼(^-^)／

THANK U heres everything i have so far ft me yapping about it all by god do i yap my ass off im so sorry if all u wanted was pictures im incapable of not talking about literally anything. my bad. :3

barn area for my animals + a cute little interior that's technically extra storage space but i dont really use it

MY HOUSE ! the stone + glass thing to the left is my automatic composter setup built off my personal wheat farm (i like to enclose all my crop farms with stone walls bc i think it gives it ~character~ and also it looks pretty) this is a pretty far away picture of my house tho so have another one i took a while ago:

this area has the barn to the left which u already saw and then the storage house in the middle and then my villager breeding area on the right + what's eventually going to be a bee farm in front of it (idrk if i like the placement of it and the build itself just feels very in the way so i'll probably scatter single beehives throughout the entire town space BUT IDK YET!)

storage house ! pumpkin patch to the left and wheat field to the right (it's for when i want to breed the villagers) the inside still isn't entire organized bc well im honestly really bad about putting things in the "correct" chests but im working on it and one day it'll be finished trust

villager breeding house U cant see him rn but there's actually an iron golem that somehow spawned on the upper floor?? ive named him jeff. he goes and stands in the window sometimes but he was being really shy today :/ the random block on the right of the screen is literally there bc an enderman placed it there for some reason and i havent broken it yet

nether portal ! ive only gone through once to check out the spawn but el spent the time to make a path to the world spawn portal (which is where literally everyone else settled lmfao - i originally just set out exploring but i found this area and thought it was cute enough to live in) but anyway i do eventually want to replace the dirt circle, which took freaking forever to lay out btw never build circles in this game ever, with stone + cobble and maybe add some detail to the actual portal it's very up in the air rn. and i do eventually want to put some builds in the actual nether (also way off to the right u can see 2 torches, theyre framing the entrance to my mine where i get all of my cobblestone/deepslate and it leads to my strip mine, im eventually going to add a little mining outpost there and expand it i just havent gotten around to it)

lava farm / mass smelting area + a small crop farm i think it's just carrots and potatoes back there. i actually hate how i did the roof (i play on 90 fov so ifl maybe the angle i was at for this screenshot is fucking with my view of it ?) but things got weird bc i had to scramble to place it and also was replacing the original wood roof with diorite bc who knew lava makes wood catch on fire :/ but it's cute enough i think and it's also really practical i ran out of coal pretty early on this was the 2nd thing i built!

small tiny little enchanting house (got inspiration from some photo on pinterest that i cant find rn rip) bc when i finally decided to start enchanting my stuff i realized i didnt really have enough space for it in my house like i usually do unless i added a basement and i really did not want to do that and i like this better anyway!!! level 30 enchantments + a space to store my lapis + it's just so cute :) downside is theres always like mob sounds bc there's a cave entrance somewhere in this area that i literally just covered up with dirt so

and this is the trading hall + sugarcane farm for paper! followed a youtube tutorial for this one bc ive never really dealt with trading and wanted to make sure i didnt build something really wrong or whatever i had to change the block palette a little to fit the rest of my builds (im a huge fan of spruce and stone if u couldnt tell) but i think it's cute! im still really bad at dealing with villagers tho ive accidentally suffocated a few trying to get them in their spots and theres been some that have been attacked by zombies bc i leave them trapped in boats outside while i go to do other things.......nothing is my fault ever remember this

some extra things bc im nothing if i dont overexplain literally anything i do:

im using complementary shaders unbound bc i think theyre pretty

resource packs autumn biomes + fall pack for the fall theme (this is how im getting the red leaves and the leaf piles on the ground, i'll prob change it once it's christmas-time)

some extra resource packs: flowering crops, fast better grass, and a font change one!

tons of cats spawn and ive tamed + bred a few of them i have i think 6 and am working on naming them all (if i dont have 2 cats called jett and operator in every minecraft world i play on i'll Die.) and i eventually want to venture back to a forest i found and grab a wolf or 2 as well :)

the giant spruce trees in the background of some of the photos were planted by me bc i use spruce in pretty much every single thing i build bc well i like it

EVENTUALLY i do want to let the villagers run free to make the area more lively (i have a slab blocking the door so they cant get out lmfao) but not everything is done rn so theyre staying in their house for now. although i did think about building each one a small little house and giving them jobs and letting them live there thats like. a lot of work. so idk if im gonna do that

build progression if u care: house + wheat farm -> mining area (that i still havent finished oops) -> lava farm -> barn (started out just as fenced pens but i decided i hated that and built an actual space for them) -> storage hall bc i was running out of space -> sugarcane farm -> i found a village over the mountain behind my house and decided i might as well start breeding back home so i built them their own little house next to mine (this is when the 2nd wheat farm got built) -> decided the empty space in between the barn + storage hall was getting to me and built the pumpkin patch -> iron farm WHICH I DIDNT SHOW it's actually a good distance behind the storage hall -> built the trading hall bc why not -> laid out the area for the nether portal -> enchantment table to get some basic enchants on my tools bc the villagers were frustrating me and sitting there rerolling trades was annoying -> actually built the nether portal -> started to work on some detailing, added in some trees in the main area + added coarse dirt, fence, lanterns to the paths -> built bee farm area (might change tho)

and (sorry) ALSO theres a lot of empty space and everything but im working on making paths and adding details around to make it feel like a really connected area instead of just a bunch of builds! i was waiting until i had most of the builds i wanted in place/planned but im kind of stuck on what else to add to really tie the space together especially at the back towards the enchanting house yk but im not too worried about it rn im just having fun :D

anyway thank u for coming to this month's yap about my current interests with jo i hope u enjoyed if u read this far yippee yay wahoo ily

Hey yall. Bit of a check in, for anyone who cares.

Things are going okay, actually. I went to disneyworld recently and just had a really good, nostalgic time. The child in my family is safe. And in really great news - I got a new job!

It’s going really great so far, and I’m having a great time. They value my opinion and expertise, and there’s a great work/life balance. Unfortunately, my old job went to hell in a handbasket and I’m sad/guilty every day when I hear from the ones I feel I left behind. I’m far too empathetic and always strive to be the therapist friend, so despite things looking up for me, I’m still pretty drained over them, despite there being nothing i can do.

I’m maybe seeing someone, or was. We’ve hit a bit of a rough patch, and I’m questioning some things. But its whatever.

The boys were both sick recently, but doing better now. Damian tried to bully some dogs today.

I turned 31 four days ago. I still have that mental block about my age so…i dunno. It was a normal day.

After eight months, i finally got back to the comics shop. Can finally finish the Damian’s latest robin series haha.

My house is a wreck but I haven’t quite gotten enough out of my funk to do the deep clean so desperately needed. Maybe the nicer the weather is, my motivation will come back. Same for writing. Its not there yet, but I’m getting those daydream plot ideas again. Its been a while for those.

A few people have reached out in my time away. I know I havent answered but Ive seen them and appreciate them so much. thank you so so much 💜

This isn’t like…a return. I’m still pretty broken and trying to pick up the pieces. But im getting there. Maybe. Hopefully.

Thanks again. 💜

Btw I havent posted much because burnout is still real with like everything except my CRK hyperfixation but I have gotten back on track with working on the animatic, this week I have the pre-ACT and then spring break next week, but like family might be over during spring break so Idk how much I'll be able to do-??? But yeah things are still a bit rough in general sooooooo yeah just letting y'all know. Now for a bunch of posts into one

Speaking of CRK what the hell was my luck-unluck today??? I already have hollyberry and elder fairy and they're both just for collection purposes and so is butter roll lmao, also finally got to world 17 today

Here's the short poem I wrote about the entities (minus Vespera bc precious child exists without purpose and duty) I plan to make a series of 5 paintings based on the 5 lines and submit that to the HS showcase at this college, but only if they RESPOND TO HER EMAILS PLEASE I HAVE TO KNOW IF I CAN DO 5 BEFORE I START 1 😭

And I've also decided to work on the worldbuilding of the rp more, specifically the country's cultural practices and I'm pretty sure no one cares if I use Greek and Japanese inspiration at the same time- I mean the country's literally been named OLYMPIA for the past 2 years we already used a bit of Greek inspiration, but Muroko being a heavily influential god to them and him being fully inspired by Japanese rulers and gods kind of makes him feel out of place if it's all Greek-inspired culture. PART OF THIS PROCESS ALSO INCLUDES ME GOING ON PINTEREST AND MAKING A SMALL MOODBOARD TO SHARE WITH THEM :D

So y'all get to see too, I am attempting to mix Japanese and Greek culture into our silly little high-fantasy world because we never put a focus on the world they live in, only the characters and the HORRIBLE magic system I wrote before the most recent reset

why is love so hard?

summary- you and taehyung have once again gotten into an argument this time a way bigger one. can you guys make it right once again or will it end?

rating- 18+ 🤭

warning!!- slight angst, overworking, eventual smut, crying, shouting, hickeys, face fucking, deep throating, cum swallowing, dom tae, sub y/n dynamics, swearing, breast play.

pairings- boyfriend tae, girlfriend y/n

taehyung had a so much work he had to do so he told you strictly to stay outside of his office room. you honestly missed him so much. its been 7 hours and you havent had a kiss from him yet. you rose from your seat at the dining table and made your way upstairs to his office. you were contemplating if you should knock or just walk in. knocking would distract him too much so you simply just walk in to see him working on his laptop. his eyes remain on his laptop. he seemed to not even be aware of your presence. you slowly walk over to him. “babe…? i miss you.” you put your hand on his shoulder. still, he was ignoring you. you scoff. “i made lunch. you should come down and eat it.” you say, desperate to just hear his voice but it seemed he was to busy on his laptop. “baby.. answer me. please..?” you see his jaw lock. he was obviously tense. “how is work goin-“ he keeps his eyes on the laptop but speaks. “y/n, stop fucking distracting me. i told you to stay out off this room but you still come? do you ever listen??” he keeps typing away on his laptop. it was clear to you he he wasnt missing you at all. “i was just missing you, tae. no need to swear.” you furrow your eyebrows feeling an argument rise up. taehyung is always so serious about his work. if hes interrupted he wont hesitate to get mad. “do you think i was missing you? get out, y/n.” you heard him sigh and now thats definitely ticked you off. you was only trying to help. “what the fuck? why are you being such an ass hole today??” you near spit. he only scoffs as a result. “y/n i just fucking said get out, why are you not listening to me, huh?” you dry scoff and cross your arms just under your breasts. “i just wanted to say come downstairs to eat something. why are you being so rude?” he puts the tip of his fingers to his nose bridge and shakes his head. “listen, i need to focus on my work. i need you to get out, ok?” you sigh at the tone hes using, a much softer one then before. “i know, ok? i made your favourite lunch.. can you just come down and eat? you only had coffee today..” he groans in annoyance. “fuck off, y/n!” he raises his voice, something he never normally does. “i told you so many times, dont disturb me, im busy with work! and you do it anyways, why cant you ever listen, huh?! just get out, y/n i dont need you to keep fucking telling me i need to eat, i know.” he raises his voice causing you to cower. he kept his eyes on his screen. you swallow back your feelings. “i-“ you were about to talk but get cut off by him. “i said fucking get out!” he shouts and you walk out. you run to your shared room. its not like he would want to sleep with you. you get into bed and start crying. he knows you hate when people shout at you. you feel unwanted. your own boyfriend said it himself. he didnt miss you. you finally go sleep around 7:32 pm. tears stain your cheeks and your eyes near swollen. you fell asleep in your clothes ; a cute grey crop top with a tight leather skirt. taehyung loved this skirt on you. the blanket covers your face as you sleep.

around 11:46 pm you were woken to the sound of the bedroom door open. you choose to ignore it until you feel the side of the bed dip, meaning someone is sitting there. you choose to ignore it and turn the other way. taehyung sighs. he was so stressed with work. nothing was going his way today. he.. took it out on you. he felt so guilty. “baby..?” he calls out to you. his voice tired and full of guilt. you bite down on your lip, feeling tears prick your eyes again for some reason. “baby.. please.. im so sorry..”you hear a rustling sound like some plastic. you rise up from the bed, your face tear stained youd say you look horrible but taehyung would argue otherwise. “im sorry, y/n. i was so stressed because today work was just.. not going right and i was just angry at everyone. im really sorry if i said something that upset you. i promise i wont do it again. i swear..” he shoves the flowers he brought for you closer to you. peonies. you cant help but upside down smile. “its.. ok.” you say, tone clearly broken. “y/n.. im sorry i made you cry.” he shuffled closer to you and wraps his arms around you, caging you. you take in his cologne and his body wash. instantly calming you. “its ok, tae. i promise. i understand if you think work is more important than me..” your voice broke in between, hating to accept that reality. he sighs heavily. “jagiya. dont say that.. you mean the world to me. you are my world. please dont think work is more important than you. you know how i get when i have a lot of work to do.” he kisses your four head meaningfully. you look up at him “really..?” you say. “of course. you mean so much to me.. im just so stupid for treating you like shit sometimes.” you look up at him once again, his eyes full of guilt. you connect your lips for a slow meaningful kiss. you slowly pull away and admire taehyung as he does the same for you. “i love you.” he says softly, meaning it from the bottom of his heart. “i love you to..” he looked so cute at that moment. he smiled at you before looking away;

“youre so cute, tae. oh my goddd-!” you cover your mouth and try not to squeal. he laughs through his nose and kisses you all over your face, stopping at your lips as he placed a slow meaningful kiss. you kissed him back, tugging his shirt to come closer to you. he does, suddenly just inches away from your body “i love this on you..” you smile and bite your lip. “i know, thats why i wore it. stupid. thoughhh.. i do need to change out of it.” you smirk at him and he licks his lips. “can i help with that?” you grab his hand and put it up your skirt on your thigh. “of course.” and with that he rips your skirt off. he teasingly fans your thighs with his hot breath. you bite your lip. “you said you was stressed with work, huh?” he sighs, hated he was reminded about it. he was about to forget about it. “uh.. yeah?” he asks, confused. “well how about.. i help you forget about it, hmm..?” you speak as you slowly bend down in front of him, getting down on your knees. “use my mouth, tae. im all yours..” something ignites in him and he unzips his trousers allowing his dick to spring to life. you slowly palm his cock for a few seconds before diving in. your tongue engulfing one side of his cock as you hollow your cheeks out. one hand on his thigh whilst the other hand on the bed. you lower your head as you suck at his large cock. you could feel his dick at the back of your throat, near swallowing his length. after a few minutes off you slowly bopping your mouth on his dick he grabs hold of your hair. he stands up, leaving you looking up at him, confused. he starts to thrust his dick into your mouth, causing you to gag. tears start to pool in your eyes as he continuously thrusts into your little mouth. the room filled with the angelic moans taehyung straggles out. you look up at him to see his head fall back. his thrust game was fast, causing you to whimper, feeling your throat sting. you could taste precum on your tongue. “fuck baby, you take me so well.. im gonna cum.” you breathe out your nose heavily until you feel his hot, sticky cum fill your mouth. he thrusts softly into your mouth whilst he cums. he pulls his cock out and watches you swallow all his cum. “youre such a good girl.. can you get on the bed again?” you smile at his comment before nodding. you walk to the bed, laying down for him. your skirt is already off. he goes in between your legs as he lifts your crop top up, revealing your braless boobs. he begins to suck at your nipples, causing you to moan under him. he soon lines his cock with your bare cunt causing you to squirm. “please just fuck me already-“ you breath put heavily but soon cut off as he pushes his shaft deep inside you. 😱

tbh i think my biggest issue with the tv show in a tv show theory for dw this season is just that i'm simply never that invested in the doctor who mystery of the season and care far more about the quality of the individual episodes and/or two-parters. if it ends up paying off in a satisfying way, then that's a nice bonus (the stolen planets in season 4). if not, then oh well (season 7 ????).

but like that's it. a nice bonus. this is partly why i like season 9 the most because literally moffat doesn't even care about the hybrid thing he set up. it's all a scheme to do character work (the thing he is actually good at). it's played up a bit too much, but the point at the end of the day is the character work which is solid.

rtd has never really been great with payoffs either and i said this in another post. the entire appeal of every single one of his episodes that actually worked is all character work. the reason nine is so beloved is the character writing. the reason season one is so beloved is the character writing. that's the thing he's good at. even outside of doctor who, every single thing he's written that is critically acclaimed is highly character focused. it's the thing he's good at.

and instead of focusing on his characters, he is busy setting up the snowing and the songs and susan twist and all the other stuff that will surely be relevant soon in the finale or maybe in the next season.

and genuinely like regardless of how awesome the idea he has come up with is, we're going to go into this finale having extremely bare bones characters. the doctor was lucky enough to be the focal point of boom so at least he's got that, but what does ruby have? she's had some pretty run of the mill adventures. she's a run of the mill companion. but so far there's nothing that makes her unique. she's got lore, but that's just lore. it doesn't tell you much about ruby as a person. she is way too bland as a companion to be going into the season finale already. rtd1 companions and amy and bill didn't have this issue for their first season finales.

like. people haven't been coming to doctor who for 60 years because of it's high concept storytelling, because plenty of the storytelling is extremely questionable and stupid. people have been coming to doctor who for 60 years because they like the characters. people today who are younger than the 2005 revival are fans of characters who havent shown up on tv since the 60s. it's the characters that people get attached to, and the doctor and ruby just haven't gotten enough character writing yet. and what is the point of all of this pomp and circumstance if at the end of the day your characters are more archetypes than people. yeah, it's a nice idea if it's all part of the tv show in a tv show endgame, but at the end of the day we still have to deal with characters who are very bland compared to their earlier counterparts.

alright its finally time to give an update :3c

so first off: my moms plants went back outside and since then ive had all my carnivores (plus the orchids, which we decided id keep) in a temporary set up but today i finally got them to their new home; the milsbo!

milsbo is an ikea cabinet somewhat famous for its use as a greenhouse--i havent fully converted it and am still waiting for some parts to come in the mail so it wont be done fully until next week but! this is pretty good so far. these are alternate shelves for it with air holes that will let humidity pass through and air circulate so i was finally able to put plants in today after they arrived! heres the set up:

as you can see lights are still outside because my power strip for the inside hasnt come yet but they should work fine from the outside + its still by the window--im not worried about light for now. power strip will also be good for some fans to keep the air circulating inside. you can actually see the desk i have been using in the back lol. you can also see i have more orchids than i did before--i wound up buying two very fancy lady slipper orchids which seem to be pretty happy so far! will keep it updated.

obviously theres some space problems here because of how large moe is, so honestly ive been thinking of giving it a big chop. i havent fully decided yet but i will be mulling it over, and if i do i should be able to make things a little less cramped in there. excluded is my ampularia which has scale, somehow? i dont know how it got scale but nothing else has, so its quarantined for a while until im absolutely sure its free, and then itll go in that bottom space beside moe. youll note this leaves very little space for my humidifier--because if all goes well the milsbo will retain enough humidity to not need to constantly pumped into the air--meaning im fucking free of this oppressively wet and hot room! this is the biggest and best selling point of a cabinet, space limitations aside. im not sure itll work as-is--i might need to make a large pebble tray for the bottom, and i may have to weather strip the gap between the doors, but figuring out what to do there will have to wait and see based on how well it retains moisture overnight.

anyway heres some updates on the plants themselves: i finally got moe to make pitchers again! having it under lights helped a ton so im keeping in mind how necessary lighting is. heres some examples:

and heres a progress of the first pitcher ive gotten it to make in a while...the color is so vibrant!

heres pictures of the orchids also, for your viewing pleasure! they are as far as i know both vietnamese varieties.
