I just found your account! You have such pretty art! I also saw your post about sending hetalia requests, could I request nyo canada in your art style? :]

One nyo Canada! I’m sorry this took so long to get to hahahaha

And thank you so much for the kind words!

I have a snake question (snestion)! Are you breeding towards a specific Morph Combo that you want to be consistently producing, or are you spreading out, aiming for variety?

Ooohhh that's a good snestion and one I've been asking myself a lot lately.

I was originally looking at variety, hoping to explore multiple morphs and hit a wider customer base, but I realize now that it's better for me to be a specialist in a narrow range of morphs that genuinely interest me. That said, I am still exploring a few things. Here's where I'm focused:

How Peach interacts with Palmetto, Charcoal, and Anery

What in the world Hatshepsut's red-enhancing gene is and if it's RF or maybe even Peach this whole time

Revitalization of the Sunglow morph and maybe a revamp with inclusion of Tessera

Very Obnoxiously Pink Snake

Something something Moonstone

I have a couple of het Scaleless snakes still, and I think I'll prove them next year before I go making any firm decisions about where to go from there. I know that Scaleless is a controversial morph, but as long as they have belly scales I really don't see it as any more deleterious than Snow, which removes eye pigment and makes snakes much more sensitive to light and possibly functionally blind... But of course nobody's calling THAT "unethical..." 🤔

Also scaleless adult snakes are found occasionally in the wild so it's clearly not a fitness-reducing trait.

Aaaanyway I've been rehoming a good number of my adults and holdbacks and reconsidering what I really want out of this hobby. Currently it's not sparking much joy, if you get what I'm saying.

If the recent trends continue, I may be forced to downsize further or get out completely and just keep my favorites as pets.

How are we having "lowest in a decade" unemployment rates yet literally over half of who I know, and even myself, for a very long time literally have been unable to find jobs.

Like. How are these equating because last I checked no motherfucker is hiring out here despite the signs

summer activities and a break from coursework sounds fun! wish u all the best for ur job things i hope it all gets managed smoothly! plus so happy for u for not having to slowly melt into nothingness <3 it's so painfully hot in here sadly

ty for ur wishes honestly it's going better than it did in a while!! i'm moving out with my best friend and we found a great house (we've been housemates for a year now but we needed to move out but our new house is much better in many ways) AND i've been applying for some master degree courses and i got accepted for a gender studies masters in one of the best unis in my country!! and i was the first in the ranking too!! so that's exciting! i've been catching up w my friends from my hometown etc and i'm also slowly quitting smoking... plus i got a nice haircut today <3

on the downside the weather is killing me and it seems like i won't be able to go on a vacation :( also the job searching process is not going great:( still, so many things to get excited for so that's nice <3

YAY so many exciting things!! moving into a nicer place love that 4 u also congrats on getting into the master's program that's so great!! i also got a nice haircut this week so we are twinning in multiple ways it seems...& good luck w quitting smoking i'm sure that cannot be fun sending best wishes etc

hot weather sucks tho i feel u i spent a long time living in climates where summers were super hot & humid and it was my least favorite type of weather ever...also job searching seems to be sucking everywhere!! i literally don't know a single person who has had a good time w their job search in like. the past ~4 years lol. but c'est la vie as long as there are still exciting things happening hopefully it balances out!

I’m so sick of hearing about Joe and Sophie’s divorce. none of this is any of our fucking business, and the answer to one party making it public is not to make it even more fucking public and argue through court docs and calculated pr moves. it’s 2023. have we really not learned that we don’t know celebs at all? with all the predator/abuser reveals lately, saying you’re “team Sophie” just because you liked her character on got is fucking insane. there are no sides. it’s a couple’s fucking divorce. all these damn twitter/tiktok accounts getting into it like it’s their morning tea at the office after a long weekend are fucking sick and fueling these disgusting and pointless pr stunts. we don’t know these people and there are actual children involved. grow the fuck up.

when you’re 14 pages into the reading and it dawns on you that the words “gold standard” and “autarky” aren’t going to show up at all and that we’re just going to allude to the whole field of political economy so we can talk about global migrations on a scale so broad as to be completely useless

[skyfcx]

     i currently have more free time than i know what to do with. that means there’s a 15% chance that you may have to deal with my ass on the dash for a little bit. i hope you can one day forgive me

just watched there goes the groom in its entirety for the first time and... well chimney if you'd worn a mask all of these wouldn't have happened would it

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
