the viscount who loved me is such a fun, romantic and ridiculous book because, at the heart of it all, the greatest conflict in the story is Anthony Bridgerton realizing that he's in love with his wife and i just think it's hilarious
#bridgerton#kanthony#kate sheffield#anthony bridgerton#the viscount who loved me#spoilers#bridgerton spoilers#season 2 was great#and i loved the story#but the bee sting?!?#the marriage?!?#the library scene?!?#the book holds a special place in my heart is all im saying#i get it#all the fears and anthony's issues are heartbreaking and valid#but#when you just say it its a little funny

the coolest kids in forgotten valley!!☆
(…it seems there may have been a stretch of time where rock and lumina were the only kids in forgotten valley…🥲)
poseref
#in the remake hugh and the player’s kid are the same number of years apart#so i can see them having very similar conversations n friendship#surely these two kids will grow up well adjusted and they will have no lasting effects from this kind of isolation. they will be fine#i have been thinking a lot about what their childhoods were like. i want to protect both of them#everyone who has anything to say about them as kids says that both of them were not well behaved children at all#tei says rock was rambunctious and energetic and hard to handle. sebastian says lumina was less than amenable#rock says he was bored to death when he first came here and lumina asks you not to tell romana that she’s lonely#lumina also hated wearing dresses so. she is very mad and ready to bite people maybe#sos awl#bokumono#my art#rock tumbling (sos)#harvest moon#story of seasons#story of seasons a wonderful life#bokujou monogatari#i like to imagine a au where pony and cecilia come to visit their family’s respective farms#so these two can have more friends ;w;#i am always thinking about how they were both severed from their families and taken in by someone else at a young age to live in nowhere#and they are both not exactly enthused about following the path laid out for them#headcanon ⚠️ i wonder if rock’s moving out on his own happened when he was a teenager. he was extremely confident everything would work out#anyway he got fired from every job ever and after many years came crawling back. and he came crawling back blond#at the time of chapter 1 lumina is baffled by the state of the guy she grew up with. why is he using dated slang and wearing disco costume#she is also kind of mad at him for having been gone for so long#hc rock probably had more freedom as a kid than lumina did which probably annoyed her#once again takakura retrieves a small rock from the goddess pond and he’s covered in poison ivy bee stings etc. no remorse#lumina from her window on the hill feels somehow jealous of these misadventures#lumina mentions in her heart event that she doesn’t often visit the beach because her skin burns easily#meanwhile rock was probably playing outside always. if his kid is any indication#idk i like thinking about the history of this extremely small village

Randy Oliver has a lot of good information about beekeeping, but listening to his videos is like a constant barrage of "be relaxed, the bees don't want to sting you! I don't even wear a veil because they're so gentle. Personally I get stung about 200 times a year. An experienced beekeeper doesn't need protective equipment because they know how to handle the bees to not get stung. But being a beekeeper means you WILL get stung constantly, so get used to it. As long as you avoid triggering defensive behavior, the bees won't attack! I've been stung thousands of times and anything above the neck is the most painful."
Like Randy. Buddy. My friend. What exactly is the takeaway I'm supposed to be getting from this because I am receiving some, let's say, mixed messages.
#i think it's because there's a lot of nuance that he's not getting in to#about when bees are likely to sting and why#but he's glossing over a lot because it's a talk for beginners so it ends up like this#but also i think some of it is that he thinks beekeepers should just not care about getting stung#which. well. agree to disagree i suppose#beekeeping

I feel so itchy and skin crawly looking at this picture
Like that is Eddie covered in bees (shudder) I’m assuming during the call at the perfume launch thingy where we’ve seen him running with his bee net on!
It’s also making my brain itch!!
#Eddie covered in bees like that is making me itchy#but also - the metaphor is not lost on me#actually there are several metaphors#the idea of being covered in bees and thus being stung repeatedly - much like Eddie has been stung repeatedly by life#the idea that bees only sting when under threat - Eddie blowing up his life could be seen as him stinging because he feels under threat#in part because of his familbut mostly from himself - his subconscious is fighting against him - related to his dawning queer awakening#plus there is also the fact that the reaction to being stung is a delayed one - yes you might feel the initial sting#but the reaction develops over time as the body reacts and tries to expel or neutralise the bee venom#this is a massive metaphor for Eddie - the delayed reactions he’s had to many things in his life but in particular to buck coming out as bi#he felt the initial sting but claimed it wouldn’t change anything only now he’s reacting to that sting - the swelling and pain is happening#and that will lead to recovery - it all plays into the queer Eddie narrative very nicely#because when you get stung by a bee you think it won’t be that bad - but it’s always worse and more itchy than you think#I’m not being remotely coherent about this at all#I might come back to it tomorrow!#911 spoilers#eddie diaz#911 abc#bee theory

Do you think Drey’s amnesia extends only to the lore or history based memories and events/people that factor into his trauma? Or do you think he’s also forgotten some mundane things?
Do you think Drey remembers that he’s allergic to bees?
#jrwi riptide#drey ferin#drey jrwi#just roll with it#he can’t remember the cowboy who saved him when we washed up and went with him looking for his crew#he can’t remember the little girl that his pirate crew helped raise#he can’t remember succeeding in aster’s trials#he can’t remember the most traumatic experience of his life#I hope they go to like. the primrose place in the northern sea or they go to the undersea and encounter bees#and he just gets stung. and says ow. and everyone moves on.#then they look back at him and he’s like. swelling.#are you allergic to bees?!?! Chip asks in a panic#cuz chip has a bad memory too#…s’a p’ssbili’y Drey manages#and he peter griffons while they hunt for a pirate epipen or something#do epipens apply to bee stings too or just like. food things.#surely it applies to bee stings?#I should probably look into that

ok so you know how maddy tells the family in the car to be a statue so the bees don’t sting them…that’s excatly what i was taught too, and i kinda think if i saw the swarm i would just stay aggressively still (i’ve had a bee literally crawl on my eyelid before will i was standing so incredibly still) instead of running away because you are more likely to be stung and i’m kinda terrified of being stung…..
#911 abc#911#911 spoilers#911 season 8#911 season eight#bee nado#killer bees swarm#killer bee#bees#idk maybe i’m just built different#like idk about you but i just would get stung#my moms always been aggressively terrified of bees#and they are weirdly drawn to her#and someone told me when i was young that if you just stay still#they will leave you alone#and they always have#or they will explore me but not sting

my classmates will go thru 6 hours of class the day after a long excursion through the countryside and then just get up and go run around in town for hours going to movies and shopping and whatever and I'm just sitting here like Aren't you all exhausted . Aren't you all sore and pained. Where are you getting this energy. Can we calm down
#if nothing else this trip has really opened my eyes to how much chronic pain/fatigue does impact my life compared to others#i dunno I guess I just never really noticed. but I just don't have the energy other people do. Not even close. Not even a little bit#I go through a day of class and relish in the thought of spending the rest of my day resting because the agony in my legs#and the unbearable tiredness I feel just beckons me to collapse into bed#but everyone else is just so . energized. and ready to explore. and wanting to run all over the place and do 1 million things all the time#and this is normal? this is how normal people are? Because I'm the only one out of my entire class who seems to be the opposite#everyone just has so much energy. and I Do Not have that energy. I had to stand for most of the past three hours and it's taken me out#for the day i'll be honest. but everyone else just seems so undaunted#and it sucks because i'd love to hang out with these people and join them and whatever but when I do force myself along i'm just so tired#and so pained that all my responses are either dry or i don't say anything at all. i'm just completely out of spoons but I hang on because#i Hate the feeling of being left behind#oh well. eye-opening experience I guess#vent#<- it became that so yeah I'm tagging it#clamtalk#and also? my bee sting? IT ITCHES. Who was going to tell me it'd do that. What the Fuck Man

Saw your tags on the Dodgers/Rockies bee delay. According to CBS they did call a beekeeper who safely relocated the swarm:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bees-dodgers-diamondbacks-game-delayed-2-hours-arizona/
GOOD. We love safe beelocation!
#ask me stuff!#my grandparents kept bees#and now they keep bees at my parents lol#i used to be terrified of them but now i deeply appreciate them and have learned how to stay out of their flight paths in the back yard now#also you have to learn to be chill w bees real fast when your dog insists on pooping right in front of the hives#and then you have to extract a very angry bee out of her two inch thick fur as it attempts to sting her#does she realize or care? no#do i want to take her to the vet for a seventy dollar benadryl? also no

getting more comfy with bugs update:
instead of backing away and feeling disgust, I now just ask them "wth are they doing in my house and pls leave in an orderly manner or I will run out of the room, pls and ty?" they are being kinda rude so far and they ignore me, but I did my part. also I'm not leaving the room until they get too close or start their erratic movements so it's progress
#i don't mind bugs when outside#i let mosquitos drink their fill and i'm cool with basically anything that doesn't try to tangle itself in my hair#and then proceed to bite or sting me because it's my fault that it flew in my hair ISN'T IT MS BEE???#personal

Female Jorō spiders and their webs
Found in my yard, photographed by me
#spiders#joro spider#jorogumo#arachnids#spider web#autumn#autumn aesthetic#halloween#my photography#they’ve taken over my area and my brain#I adore them ok? they’re so lovely#and so gentle#obvi like. don’t go picking them up and such if you don’t want to get bitten#but despite their size these spiders have small fangs that can rarely actually pierce human skin#and when they do their venom is light#it would feel like a bee sting#even in scientific study where scientists are purposefully bothering them they just. refuse to even bite#they’re so sweet and intelligent. they’d rather move their whole web if they feel like they’re in an unsafe place or being bothered#and their webs! their webs can be 5-10 feet long!!#and look at that golden silk. it’s so beautiful in the mornings and evenings with the sunlight shining on them#they’re lovely little creatures and I have developed an obsession with them#I get sad when I notice one is gone and has moved somewhere I can’t watch her#I worry about them and hope they’re safe#look how huge that one at the top is! she’s so full of eggs! she’s the biggest in the yard and she has two husbands!#I’m just so in love with Jorō spiders ok

Not-so-fun fact: I was stung by a bee yesterday. Specifically, THIS ONE, which I photographed after I felt the sting, saw it on my fingertip, freaked out, and flung it on the floor.
The good news is that apparently I’m not allergic to bee stings. WHEW!
The bad news is that it still hurt. A LOT.
But the *weird* news is that now I keep seeing bees all over the library. Is the universe playing some kind of cosmic joke on me???
FYI, in case you were wondering, it turns out that there are way more bee-related items at the library than you might expect!!!
🐝😱🐝
#bees#bees bees millions of bees#The Swarm#okay maybe not a swarm#I like bees just not when they’re stinging me#it was like nicholas cage in the wicker man only not so much#libraries#Kingsbridge Library#NYPL

Today I rescued this butterfly from my nieces pool! (And also a bee)
#other#t talks#it was 105 today#so i let aegis outside for a potty break. n when i let him inside i noticed somwthing moving in the corner of my wye#eye* n i literally saw this poor guy give his last struggle before giving up and accepting death 😨#o ran outside to scoop it up n thought it was already dead cause it was NOT movibg anymore (burnt the shit outta my feet)#but! he was alive!! n the second he was out of the water he started moving again!#he sat in the grass for a good 10 min before drying off enough to fly off 👍#also the bee i noticed after i pulled the butterfly out#i thought it was already dead but i poked the water n it moved its leg so i fished it out too#immediately crawled into the grass for cover so no pic. but didnt sting me n is alive so yay!!

So close to being finished with my post office training! I just have to do my driver's test next Thursday and I'm officially an assistant rural carrier! Which is step one in becoming a full time employee and receiving those sweet, sweet government job bennies. But also, it's a lot of sorting and shit, and tism go brrrrrrrr with that.
#my only concern thus far is i was told yesterday there's a holler in my area where the people will shoot at you if you use their driveway#and then two other homes where you're likely to get shot at#everyone is acting like dogs are the biggest threat#as if I'm not a certified beast master and haven't had to beat up large dogs for attacking my dogs before#I'll take an aggressive dog over a trigger happy hillbilly any day!#they also warned against bees spiders and wasps as if those are even a problem 90% of the time#it's different if you have allergies#but like. wasps just want to see you're not a threat then they stop getting right in your face.#bees don't sting unless they have to#and spiders be chillin#as far as insects go my concern is wheel bugs and assassin bugs because they can carry parasites that k-o you#they also mentioned being aware of bears. but the bears out here are oversized raccoons and run when you raise your voice.#pretty much all the threats boil down to 'have you been outside before? if yes you'll be fine'#they mentioned that you have to piss in the woods on rural routes and the lady leading the class singled me out as being afraid of that#like. you got me wrong girlie. i actually don't mind pissing in the woods and I've gotten great at it over the years.#i have a sticker on my water bottle that says i love peeing outside. and it's not a lie.#there's more a threat of insects on your taint outside. but it's nicer to look at trees while peeing than a wall.#learning my route will also be a challenge because I'm only working Sundays starting out and I'm not from the area#it's also rural so no phone service if i get stuck or need help#but yeah. i think I'm gonna enjoy being outside for work and making a living wage.#the PO I'm at said they'll hire me full time once I've been there long enough to show that I'm a good employee#and they said their people usually only work about 40 hours/wk instead of the standard of 60 because it's a small area compared to others
