actual temp -1F this morning, before windchill. The soda can I took out with me to chill, it froze. I brought blueberries, canned corn (no salt), no-salt dry roasted peanuts, and suet nuggets to the peas, and added fresh straw to all the quail, who were very gratefully bedded down in it. Everyone is cuddling up tightly, even birds that don't normally get along. When I gave Aurora her meds, I found a patch of ICE on her feathers above where her head rests when tucked in- condensation from her breathing overnight, when it dropped to actual temps -10F.
We are NOT enjoying it, but we ARE surviving this cold snap. It's currently 8F (feels like -9F) and it's supposed to get back up to 17F today, and up above freezing in a week. We just have to make it that long without incident.
#personal#longfeather lane#aurora#well we had a good run of mild winters the last couple years#it had to happen sometime#and!!! at least it's not 2 feet of snow in a day#that's harder to deal with chores through#even if the birds would probably prefer it going through#it's wetter and harder to handle overall#and risks more rot and mold in the thawing of it

Ahkmenrah: Larry before we begin this activity, I have been selected by the group to ask you some questions about “snowball fights”.
Larry: Yeah, of course, what’s up?
Ahkmenrah: How do they work?
Larry: What do you mean?
Ahkmenrah: Well, is it a point system?
Larry: Its really more causal-
Ahkmenrah: The first to draw blood wins?
Larry: What? No-
Ahkmenrah: Attila and Octavius propose the winner should be whoever conquers the most land, regardless of bloodshed.
Larry: Okay, hold on a second- Ahkmenrah: Nicky has suggested a fight to the death.
Larry: This was a mistake.

it's snowing again... praying to the gods of travel to let my trains run swiftly through the night
#taking a risk by travelling through oslo instead of northern sweden#because the norwegian and swedish trains don't communicate so if my norwegian train gets delayed ill miss the swedish one#this train has always been good and reliable to me... but.......#winter's hitting hard right now

i love that the murder time trio all have dangerous little greetings. horror has his little hand drill thing. killer puts a knife up his sleeve and then does a little switcharoo. dust INSTINCTIVELY shoots whoever he sees with a bone. no greeting whatsoever. so just imagine how things go on a first meeting or whatever. immediately horror and killer have to dodge bones from dust and horror's like hey wtf man. mildly irritated but he just met these guys so he's willing to forgive. he's not gonna lose his cool in front of these two random ass guys even though one just tried to kill him. killer just has that dumbass smile on his face like always (but he was intrigued when dust did that. like who tries to kill someone on first sight?? he's curious now :3)
and then theyre all just standing together and staring for a moment and horror sticks out his hand. killer takes the bait but then he just points a knife to horror's stolen eye once he realizes that he got duped and his other hand is now currently being drilled into. dust didn't shake either of their hands because he could see the drill and tell that killer had something off about him in general. but he does give a tiny smile when he sees the state that the two r in rn with the drill and knife. it's an eensy bit funny in his eyes
least violent mtt interaction
#overall?? first good impression on all their parts#except horror because he doesn't like to get threatened or risk dying#but he gets over it (he never does)#i'm at that stage of mtt fan where i cant afford to ignore phantom paps anymore and leave him out from the hc#immediately once dust saw the other two paps commented on how ugly they were#dust must have the strength of fucking Hercules or something because like#phantom papyrus probably drops some of the most hilarious bangers that only he can hear and he just CANNOT laugh or else he'll look dumb#i wouldnt last a day in dusts shoes if phantom paps said shit like that. i'd die of holding back laughter#how many off hand comments does paps make he just has to let out his laughs in private#violence is sooooo funny to them they wish they could throw the other 2 into a volcano#triglycercule will you ever run out of mtt ideas??? i dunno......#as long as im alive i can find a way to make my life about the mtt#this post was written august 22 still a peak idea tho LMAO#the phantom papyrus making outrageous comments thingy is funny enough to be its own post HOLD ON LMAO#listen this didnt happen in my mtt fic LITERALLY about them meeting but it did in another universe TRUST TRUST TRUST#tricule rant#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au#i'm so eepy....... i need to stay awake................#still have 70 soon to be 71 drafts left in my loaded gun we WILL survive through the winter if i eat one draft every day

will solace is the type of guy to wear shorts year round no matter the weather or the circumstances. you might think its because he runs warm but you’re WRONG he has sensory issues and can’t stand material touching his calves. in this essay i will
#will solace#bro is freezing his kneecaps off#every winter he has to decide to either risk frostbite or spend the whole day wanting to rip his pants off below the knee#pjo hoo toa#rrverse

I love that Huntlow wasn’t technically confirmed. I love that we got some interactions that could be interpreted as romantic, but aren’t explicitly that. It’s like the reverse of blink-and-you-miss-it gay rep. If this was any other show Huntlow would have been explicitly canon and Lumity would be relegated to ambiguously romantic shoulder-touching in the background. We’re relegating the straight ship to fan works this time. Love to see it.
#not mad at creators who do that kind of gay rep btw#often the only thing they CAN do without risking their show#and thats the networks fault not theirs#its great that they try at all#just making that clear#still its amazing what Dana and co. were able to achive#the owl house#toh#toh spoilers#the owl house spoilers#lumity#huntlow#winter#watching and dreaming

'tis the season to write some slightly fluffier offerings for once! you know the drill! feel free to check with me if you are unsure if i'd write certain characters/pairings! <3

[ 2 ] - “that was more ice than snow!”
[ 3 ] - “please don't fall!”
[ 4 ] - “maybe you could warm me up...?”
[ 5 ] - “look's like you've caught a cold.”

Do you think that The Winter Soldier was one of the Insight targets? Or do you think Hydra wanted to keep him for whatever other purpose?
#like#ive always wondered#cuz they prolly wanted to get rid of him#hes a risk if they can't control him#but hes also a science experiment 70 years in the making#bucky barnes#winter soldier#hydra

Gonna look into puffy charms but if I can't get them made, these will be made into a sticker sheet and one acrylic charm design :3
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d0a68cbe0c7485972b6d800ee7d4bbd/b74d21245309db99-67/s540x810/887553e8844e7890183682d278ae08e999713071.jpg)
I may do both regardless
#not art#i wanna do normal art but ive got another design to do before sept ends#also? hopefully my arch charms will arrive before cold weather starts to kick in#i cant ship during winter if temperatures get too low bc it risks damaging them iirc

Kept wondering why I've been evil this past week but then I remembered it's been raining every day and I've come to the conclusion like the gremlins from Gremlins (1984) I become evil when I get wet
#this could be a double entendre but its 9am so#i actually do love the rain. love a good summer storm#but i cant have weeks of it im not used to it and i need sun#its been so wet this year so i was like well maybe thats good for bushfires but then it turns out that just means#they couldnt back burn during winter so now we are actually at worse fire risk 🤡 so theres no benefit 😭

#compilation tag#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ re: david collins. ┊ he's just been afflicted with the family disease. he's been seeing ghosts.#➤ josette dupres. ┊ it was a scent,not just any,it was hers: jasmine,seabreeze mixed.#➤ re: laura murdoch collins. ┊ I want to watch a girl on fire with ruin on her lips. I want to see everything burn.#➤ elizabeth collins stoddard. ┊ I belong to the house. the house belongs to me.#➤ re: carolyn stoddard. ┊ never the same girl twice.#GOD OKAY. the fact that burke gives vicki the locket after laura's death is EVERYTHING to me.#burke — twin to jeremiah both physically and psychologically — giving it to vicki —#the stranger brought inside the collins family; much like josette.#(which. according to much much later dialogue laura *was* jeremiah's first wife before josette.#it's an old song. it's an old tale from way back when. and we're gonna sing it again and again and again.)#that vicki; by saving david's life; is preserving the collins line — providing the heir (literally; though not biologically)#david turns away from laura and chooses vicki; replacing laura as mother-figure permanently;#as he's granted new life after the fire; born again into vicki's arms; not laura's.#the new woman in the collins fold — after the previous wife has been defeated and fire has cleansed the memory (à la jane eyre; or rebecca)#positioning her naturally as roger's wife. the mother of his child. the inheritor of the collins bridal locket.#the locket that distinctly belongs to roger's wedding *night* — tied up fundamentally with sex & childbirth & the provision of heirs.#(fitting then that the madonna and child serves as the vicki-as-mother equivalent to the painting of laura: the virginal birth)#and yet! simultaneously! the cri du sang — david's blood calling out to burke's.#roger notably absent during the fire; unaware of david's danger; unable to help him. burke drawn to him when his life is at risk —#and the one who carries him home; over the threshold; at vicki's side. delivers her the locket from the ash.#of course she is drawn to him — david's symbolic mother; his biological father —#jeremiah & josette; the empire-builder and the lost and lonely bride.#and. the vampire-figure; the parasitic lover. meeting her at the cliffs; joking about her falling from them —#who can give josette belonging by bringing her to the family tomb.
