Hey, tumblr witchy ppl and fellow Cool Rock Enjoyers. I got a PSA for y’all.
Do not trust any place selling raw quartz for a two - and esp not a THREE - digit number.
Here’s why:
Bit of background, I’m a mineral and crystal fan who likes having Shiny Rocks in my crow hoard. I am also a bit cheap. I don’t get something I like if I feel the price is ridiculous, unless under very specific circumstances.
Now, most people know what quartz is. It’s extremely common compared to other crystals and relatively easy to obtain, but doing so is difficult enough that most people will just buy it from someone else. But it’s really easy to find quartz if you know where to look.
Because of that, I have a rule that any shop selling a piece of quartz smaller than my palm for more than $3-5 is not worth my time or cash. Please, do not buy a tiny bit of raw quartz for $10 from a fancy crystal shop, it’s not worth it. And if they’re charging that for quartz, everything else is probably overpriced too.
(Note that this is specifically about raw quartz - if it’s been cut or sculpted into a certain shape, I’m more willing to pay extra for the craftsmanship. That’s different.)
And for fluffs sake don’t spend a thousand dollars on Etsy quartz my god. I don’t care how big it is or what special markings it has it is not worth nearly that much.
Quick guide that I personally follow, set your own limits as you wish:
Can be carried by a few fingers: $1-3
Fits in palm: $3-7 depending on size
One-hand grip: $7-15 depending on size/shape
Two-hand grip or larger: $15+
Again, this is specific to raw quartz, quartz that was picked up off the ground and put up for sale, not anything that’s been cut or sculpted. If it’s more than $30 it better be fluffing massive. No one should fork over $15-20 for quartz that fits in your hand, that’s just not right.
If you want an alternative that’s less likely to overcharge you, the best thing I can think of rn is a natural history museum or something similar. Full disclosure, I’ve only been to a couple, but they usually have a section for small crystals and minerals that are a few bucks each. Affordable, quality, and supporting a valuable public service - I’ll take that over an overpriced shop any day.
#it speaks#crystals#witchblr#minerals#decided to check out a crystal shop in a mall and they wanted me to pay $15 for THAT?!? that little thing? no#don’t waste your money kids it’s not worth it#I’m not a Crystal Person but I’m adjacent enough to those spaces to feel offended for them about this#seriously do not pay that much for a small piece of quartz no matter what#you deserve better than that

Cannot believe I have to go to school like, every day. Also I quit that job that was paying me 8/hr. I had texted my boss abt how I’ve been working there for a year and still hadn’t been given any periodic reviews and that I was ready to be considered for a raise, and I gave her an entire month to respond. She never did, so I texted her resigning. SHE HASNT RESPONSED TO THAT TEXT EITHER-🧃
THAT BITCH OMFG SEND ADDRESS I'LL PULL UP NUH UH WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS but congrats on resigning !!!!

Ty!! I used to write fanfic but got both burnt out and had a bad experience with a friend from the same fandom so ye :/ ah well ❤️
My ask was probably eaten bc it was about the Floyd ai screenshot thing and tumblr ate it going “nah that’s too long” 🥲
Anyways I also wanna say congrats again on the 1k!!! And that your lil blurbs were so cute! Including the ones I sent in hehe
//🏎️
oh i totally get you. there was one fandom i used to write for that i got no engagement in and i had to take a six month break. problem was that i couldn't find any other fandom that sparked the same creativity that that fandom did, so i kept coming back to it. twisted wonderland broke that cycle when i wrote my first oneshot for deuce a few months ago and i've been writing perfectly fine for twst ever since!! i suppose i'm a bit picky though ^^' it didn't help that i met some pretty terrible people in that fandom (and i mean YIKES terrible) but the twst fandom has been nothing but kind to me so far and i'm glad :D
OH RIGHT THAT I REMMEBER THAT!!! it was about him being serious and everything!! :D protective floyd makes me even more of a floyd hugger tbh but that might just be my marine bio fixation being like "shrimp and eels are best friends" even though eels EAT shrimp sometimes OOPS
thank you so much :((( <33 all the compliments and congrats i've gotten make me feel so warm and happy inside, it make sme even more motivated to write for ygys!! and i'm glad you liked the things i wrote for you, too <3
#🏎️ anon <3#also i dont want it to seem like im making it about me!! i just want you to know that this unfornately happens to a lot of writers#theres a few people that can be very rude and passive agressive#and those people are weirdos#you deserve better than that

Sometimes young people will post a joke or a visual gag from a show and be like "THE WRITERS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY GAY #SHIP CONFIRMED✨️🌈🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜" and it's like. I'm not sure how to tell you this, but. Honey that's a joke. The writers are making a joke...at the expense of gay people. Hahaha wouldn't it be so funny if. You'll notice your ship is only ever alluded to as a punchline. They're never gonna be canon. It's a joke. Please stop treating homophobia as representation and notice when you're being laughed at.
#i can't tag this for the fandoms I'm thinking of#but like#we've all seen this#it keeps happening#i feel like that man smoking his cigarette#tw homophobia#gaybaiting#also like#if you see something more there and want to expand on it please do!#i do the same#I'm quite certain tolkien did not intend for me to ship who i ship#that's all fine#just#please stop praising showrunners who openly mock you#you deserve better than that

Do u have any advice on how to deal with someone with avoidant attachment…? I don’t know if I should hold onto them or let go. They’re so so afraid of intimacy, even tho they crave it sooo deeply. But their back and forth hurts so much and I wonder if it’s really worth it? The person I’m seeing doesn’t even do therapy as they just figured out that they might need it lmao. They want me around and trust me and feel safe but the second we get closer on an intimate level (for example: doing a sleepover, waking up together) they want to run away which is why last night I left at around 1am instead of sleeping over. I’m so hurt.
baby, making a relationship work should never, ever be a one person job. esp if your guys' "problem" stems from his fear of intimacy. if you're important to him and he wants you, he has to put in the work and make you feel it. I think it's great that you can provide a safe and comfortable space for him and I'm sure he benefits from it greatly, but where do you come in? what about your needs and wishes? just as much as I hope he finds a way to not let that fear rule his life, I hope you find it in your heart to realize you're worth every bit of love you pour out. either he's willing to try and be that person for you or he's not. chances are he's not ready but that's not a realization he should come to at your expense.

“If you want more representation” okay but what if they did a better job than all the other actors???
Like, with PJO Rick didn’t go “only black people can audition for Annabeth!! Grover has to be Indian! Zeus has to be black!”
No, the actors auditioned, did a good job, and got the gig.
Like instead of crying cause all these white actors didn’t get it, ask yourself if they even deserved the position.
Everything isn’t some “woke” propaganda or “more representation.” They just deserved the job.
#I’m gonna spend the next week emptying my drafts#I can’t even remember why I didn’t post this#i stand by what i said#no one ever considers that they just out acted the other actors#and since we’re talking abt pjo you can look at a clip of the series and see why they were picked#it’s cause they did a good job#better than who you thought deserved it#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#heroes of olympus#pjo#pjo tv show#percy jackson#annabeth chase#grover underwood#acting#movies#representation

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.
poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.
#to be deleted probably#i think aid should be REQUIRED to be bipartisan#ppl shouldn't suffer bc of how they vote. sorry. i'm never gonna be like ''ah yah x area deserves it''#..... they're people. they're human people. what the fuck is wrong with you.#this is nonspecific bc it's the same argument every time it involves things the right wing could have prevented#oh she died in childbirth bc of abortion laws? well nows not the time to make it#well he died bc his boss made him work during the tornado? well let's not make this#ohhh they died in a school shooting? thoughts and prayers let's all not make#there's a big fucking natural disaster that is strong evidence for oncoming ecological collapse?#welllllllll leTS NOT MAKE IT FUCKING POLITICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11#WHEN WAS THE TIME???????????#PREVENTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN BETTER THAN WOUND CARE.#> stabs u . oh sorry that wasn't political#but also good luck in the hospital good luck with insurance good luck with medicine#good luck with disability support good luck w/ur job and taking time off good lucK!!!#refusing to allow politics into the matter means they get to shrug their shoulders and absolutely#refuse any fucking ACCOUNTABILITY#THEN WHAT WAS THE JOB FOR??? WHY DID I GIVE THEM THIS JOB???#WHAT IS LITERALLY THE POINT OF ELECTED OFFICIALS

I acknowledge that the season was cut almost in half so I should really cut them some slack but I WON'T, SO:
Plot holes/Forgotten Stuff in TUA:
(some of these are mostly just unanswered questions)
-Sloane?? Where tf did she go?
-Why was Jennifer (in the original timeline) in a cage? In Moldova?? Like, was she discovered to have something ( the dimaldo stuff whatever) inside of her, so they wanted to test on her? if she never came into contact with marigold before ben then why would they? WHAT
-also wait how the fuck did she get that stuff in her anyway? How did the dimaldo get to earth after it caused the end of Reginald's home planet? Like,,,shouldnt we know that?
-Her,,,in a squid??? she was Inside a giant squid? W h a t
-the S3 post credits of ben in the train. sure, whatever, that means nothing LMAOO
-I also can't get over - Five explaining "oh yeah when we do this EVERY ALTERNATE TIMELINE is gonna be destroyed, leaving only what should've been - the original," and lila fighitng to put her family in the train station,,,All the other timelines will be destroyed??They're dying and being reborn/reincarnated in the new one anyway GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING
(unless ive highly misunderstood that which is likely)
-this isnt a plot hole just - five "trying desperately over and over again to save his unhelpful family who he loves very very much" being literally turned into,,,that. did someone say character assassination?
-lila and five. thats a plot hole in and of itself I DONT CARE if he's aged 12 years from season 3, (6 yr timeskip at beginning of season, then 6 technically 7 in teh train), I DONT CARE IF HES 25 NOW, I DONT CARE IF HES MENTALLY 60 SOMETHING. Lila met and spent time with him when he looked like THIS
THATS A CHILD. and clearly, the family had SOME contact in the 6 yr skip, so she WATCHED HIM GROW UP from 13 - 19, like thats just so WEIRD WHAT
this was supposed to be plot holes and just turned into me being pissed im sorry but HOW DO YOU FUCK UP AN ENDING THIS BAD??
#i am genuinely astounded#HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THIS BAD#i miss season 1#klaus you were a standout as ever#so sorry your entire plot was away from the family AGAIN#like EVERY SEASOn#five stans im so sorry#diego deserved so much better#i liked allison more than last season but i cannot forget her SA'ing luther so shes still on my shit list#viktor i will always love you And i am free every saturday at 7#tua#tua season 4#tua s4#the umbrella academy#the umbrella academy season 4

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.
And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.
#they should have just STOP before fucking killing them all#that might have stopped the story with no possibility for a revival#so I'm not sure#but I would be fine not having any revival if the end was satisfying enough#it would still be better than what we had anyway#an open ending would have been better#because they would be ALIVE and FREE#they deserved to be happy#spn#supernatural#spn 15x20#Carry On#there's no carrying on when everyone is fucking dead#don't mind me#I'm still bitter about that ending#dean winchester#sam winchester#castiel#jack kline#eileen leahy#destiel#deancas#saileen#if you don't ship those no hate please#my random thoughts about spn

[Jason and Steph hanging out at Jay's apartment]
Jason: So you and Tim are like, done, right?
Steph: Oh yeah, it's definitely over. It was pretty mutual, too.
Jason: Oh, thank God. I didn't wanna say it, but it was a bit annoying whenever I invited you over, and you dragged Tim with you.
Steph: yeahhh sorry about that
Jason: It's just nice spending quality time without the rest of the bats butting in. I already have enough to deal with whenever I visit the manor.
Steph: Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore. I'm gonna be 100% batboy/Robin-free from now on!
