I wonder how Ralsei would react to the Human of the Prophecy, the only person for MILES who can seal the Dark Fountains, being a tiny baby who doesn't know how to speak and can barely walk

bro would be flabbergasted

I want to go to a con dressed as the Archivist solely so that I can meet another person cosplaying as the Archivist and we can stare each other down and have a high noon standoff there on the gum-covered space-themed carpeted floors and hold out broken tape recorders at each other's faces like flintlock pistols.

I, uh, fixed some of my toddler's books

Idk about you, but I've never heard "I want some!"

(I did add another layer of tape after taking the pic so that what I wrote could be seen better.)

From a touch and feel book. They literally used velvet for the fur.

Same touch and feel book. 'Squidgy' means wet. The patch of pleather on the dog's nose is not wet.

You can't only use pentagons and then say they're triangle-shaped.

Cows are girls, y'all

I think she had a third book that used male pronouns for a cow, but I must have gotten rid of that one already.

"Boxes" Sure. We counted 6 tombstones earlier, but "coffins" is just too dark for this Dracula-themed counting book.

Most of the people who read this book to me said "fat" in a bad way, so I had to change it. I dare you to try to say "chonky" in a negative way.

We've always added air quotes when reading this, so

How you gonna give us four images of the different phases of the moon, but only name three?!

Part two is in the reblogs!

Omg, what was your dream? If you're interested in sharing it :0 I keep my own dream journal so it's interesting to hear other people's dreams.

Haha glad to share! This dream was back in 2018 and it was when I had a quick nap while I was house sitting with a friend. As soon as I woke up I quickly drew the main visual of the dream because it left such a distinct feeling in me and I was shaking when I woke up haha.

It was more of a nightmare than a dream, as I had a really strong sense of dread and there was something about the atmosphere of that dream that was so.... Thick?

I was walking on the beach right where the water was coming in, so it was lapping at my ankles every other step and my feet were soaked. I had the distinct feeling that something was behind me, but I didn't know what, and couldn't see because it was so dark. All I had was a flashlight, but it barely lit up the ground in front of me, and I was almost better off not using it. When I look up, I see a bunch of lines against a red sky- which I assumed to be very straight trees in a forest. I looked back, cause the slight change in the wind felt like breathing on my neck, but nothing is there, just the waves at my feet. When I turn back around and keep going forward, there's a white bar in the sky between the lines. Something about that white bar felt like hope, the first time, at least. I started running towards it but I fell, and turned around to check for injury. Every time I turned around or tried to run, more white bars would fill in the sky, and instead of hope, it was pure dread. I was terrified, something felt so wrong, I couldn't do anything without more white bars appearing between the lines and it started to feel like they'd get me or something lol. I also noticed that no matter how far I ran, the bars and lines were fixed in the sky, like a skybox in a video game. Perpetually out of reach...

I woke up in a cold sweat and was still shaky from the fear, but I fucking loved that visual so much and described it to my friend as I drew. It gave me the same chills you usually look for when you're playing a scary game, and I'd love to somehow use this concept in a story/game, but who knows.

Your masking tape art was so pretty and reminded me of the ominous white bars from my dream... Except yours are the NICE version haha, mine were evil :P

I freaking LOVE working with kids.

So I currently have an injury to the soft tissue of my right shoulder. What tissue and in what way (and even how it got injured) is a total mystery right now, but it's being investigated. Slowly. But, to not make it worse and (hopefully) let it heal, I'm in a shoulder immobilizer and just straight up can NOT use my arm. Well, because of this, I can't work with my darling one year olds and am being floated around in the older classrooms where lifting children is not crucial to my job. And boy has it resulted in some interesting conversations with preschoolers!

Yesterday

3 year old: Why are you wearing that? *points to sling*

Me: I hurt my shoulder and this is helping it get better.

3: Did you broked your arm?

Me: No, I just hurt my shoulder. I can't move it without it hurting.

3: Oh. Can I see it?

Me: ...yeah? But the booboo is inside my arm, so you won't see anything. *proceeds to show normal looking shoulder*

3: *clearly disappointed* oh

Today

Same 3 year old: Why are you wearing that? *points to shoulder*

Me: I hurt my shoulder.

3 year old #2: Why?

3: Can I see it?

Me: *ignoring the why cause how do you answer that???* Yeah, but you won't really see anything, cause it's inside my shoulder. *shows normal looking shoulder*

3 #2: Why is it inside?

3: Can I see it tomorrow?

Me: ..........🤨

The writing brain is like a petulant toddler

Me: We'll work on this continuation this week :D

Brain: Nu-uh.

Me: ok, this easier drabble then.

Brain: ....

Brain: *pointing at Eric being an absolute creepy bastard* I want this

What I need y’all to understand is that I just opened my Christmas gift from my friend which contained a card. And upon opening the envelope, a bajillion wolf stickers just fell out all over my lap and floor and everywhere. I don’t particularly like wolves, nor do I dislike them. I feel like I just got glitter bombed but instead of glitter it’s wolf stickers

Hey wtf is this and why is it almost 30 minutes long

[esleep]

i actually do kinda like delivering groceries on the side because it gives me such a unique cross-section of the community. i never know whose groceries im shopping for until i finish the delivery and see them/their home and it's like it adds more detail to the picture of who they are. the baby supplies going to the apartment that i know for a fact is one bedroom (they'll be moving soon - i bet they're apartment hunting, i hope they find a place). the new cat litter box, bowl, and kitten food going to the house covered in "i <3 my dog" paraphernalia (a kitten definitely showed up on the porch recently and made itself at home). the fairly healthy boring grocery order that includes an incongruous tub of candy-filled ice cream going to the home of an elderly woman with toddler toys in the yard (it's clearly for her grandkids, whom she sees often).

shopping for someone else's groceries is a fairly intimate thing. i've bought condoms and pregnancy tests, allergy medicine and nyquil, baby benadryl and teething gel, a huge pile of veggies paired with an equally huge pile of junk food, tampons and shampoo and closet organizers and ant traps and deodorizing shoe inserts and a million other little things that tell a million different stories in their endless combinations. one time someone had me buy one single green bean. i messaged them to confirm that's actually what they wanted, and they said yes - neither of them liked green beans very much, but they had a baby they were introducing to solid foods, and they wanted to let him try one to see if he liked them. another time i had someone request 50 fresh roma tomatoes - not for a restaurant, but for a person in an apartment. the kitchen behind them smelled like basil and garlic when they opened the door. another time i brought groceries to three elderly blind women who share a house. that was one of the few times i have ever broken my rule and gone inside a place i've delivered to, because they asked if i could place the grocery bags in a specific location in the kitchen for them to work on unloading and there was no way i was going to refuse helping.

i gripe about the poor tippers, but people can also be incredibly kind. one time i took shelter from a sudden vicious hailstorm inside an older lady's home in a trailer park, while i was in the middle of delivering her groceries. we both huddled just inside the door, watching in shock as golf-ball-sized hail swept through for about five minutes and then disappeared. she handed me an extra $10 bill on my way out the door.

when covid was at its deadliest, people would leave extra (often lysol-scented) cash tips and thank-you notes for me taped to the door or partially under the mat. i especially loved the clearly kid-drawn thank you notes with marker renderings of blobby people in masks, or trees, or rainbows. in summer of 2020 i delivered to a nice older couple who lived outside of town in the hills, and they insisted i take a huge double handful of extra disposable gloves and masks to wear while shopping - those were hard to find in stores at the time, but they wanted me to have some of their supply and wouldn't take no for an answer.

anyway. all this to say people are mostly good, or at least trying to be, despite my complaints.
