if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this
For a short period of time, I started working on a video game. It was very inspired by my love for undertale and rpgs in general.
The concept was essentially that you were a small child that wakes up in a world where it's forever autumn and you progress through the game by freeing each of the other seasons being imprisoned by the season of Autumn. It was fun and i'm sure one day i'll revisit the concept once I get through my other projects but for now, here's some of the art I made for it!
Protag Walk Cycle
Character Line Up
Crowley, Ted Longhorn, The Protag, Mr. Straweman, Winter, and Fall
Crowley profile
The Moth(er) (she's the queen of bugs)
The bastard himself,, Autumn
i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug
Yo uhhh, does anyone have a Luffy tab? Is this just me??

hi! i really appreciate the advice you share; both what you communicate and the way you communicate is super helpful. i was wondering if you had any tips on packing to move/general moving tips? my husband and i are currently in the process of moving between states and it's the first time we're doing a major move like this - and i'm sure we'll get ourselves where we need to go, but as with everything in life i'm sure there's skills and crafty ways of doing things that we just don't know due to inexperience. we're leaving alaska with cats & don't want to subject them to air travel, so we're going to be going through canada in a car with everything we need for in the short term & shipping the rest.
& i know you get loads of asks, so if this one is one you haven't the time or interest to answer, here's wishing you & yours the absolute best!
OKAY I don't know a bunch about a long move like that, but here are the things I learned in my recent state-to-state (2020, 2021) and around-the-corner (2022) moves.
Make sure that the utilities are turned on by the time you get to your end location. You don't want to move a bunch of boxes and then find out that you can't turn on the shower or that if you do it isn't hot.
Know whether or not there will be lights when you get to the new location. If you aren't sure, pack a couple small lamps that will go with you.
If you're packing a pod, try to group stuff by what room it's going into. Kitchen stuff with kitchen stuff, etc, and pack it (mostly) in reverse order of distance. So if you have to walk further from the pod to your bedroom than from the pod to the kitchen, put the stuff that goes to the bedroom closest to the front so that you aren't exhausted by the time you have to haul stuff the furthest.
This should seem obvious but sometimes it isn't: write what room things *came from* as well as what rooms things *go in* on the boxes. So if it came from your hall closet junk drawer but you're planning on putting it in your new office, write both of those on the box so that you will be better able to visualize what's in the box based on where it came from. Also, write things big, and on multiple sides.
Use your towels to pack your dishes. I used a big rubbermaid tote to pack all my dishes and most of my towels and it was heavy as fuck but when I got it to the house it was so nice to have all my clean dishes and towels together because it wasn't like the towels were going to make the dishes dirty or vice versa. And it saves you money on bubble wrap or packing paper.
One of the things you should pack closest to the entrance to the pod is a trash can full of cleaning supplies. You may think "I don't want to pack this half-used bottle of dish soap or two rolls of toilet paper that are left in the bag, I'll get new stuff when I get there." That is the devil talking. Fill up your trash can with bin liners, paper towels, dish soap, toilet paper, scrubber brushes, spray cleaner, and put a broom and dustpan nearby and have that be the first thing you unload. Moving is dusty and grimy and sweaty and you will want to be able to wash your hands and wipe down surfaces. Unpacking boxes generates so much trash. Also all of that shit is way more expensive than you think it is when you have to buy it all at once and as it turns out a half-empty bottle of dish soap and a quarter-full spray bottle full of 409 are lighter than full ones. This trash can should also have: Boxcutters, Packing Tape, Sharpies, and scissors in it. Also pack your tool box and a step ladder close to this. And you may want to have some lightbulbs in the trash can.
If you are moving books, you want several small boxes instead of fewer large boxes.
Are you up to date on your tetanus shots? If not, get them taken care of now, before the move, because unpacking boxes with a sore arm sucks and you are probably going to get scraped to hell and back by items of questionable provenance as you're loading and unloading.
Pack a "first night" box - depending on whether you or the pod will get to the location first, pack it with you or the pod. This should be stuff like cups (DRINK WATER. HYDRATE. YOU ARE GOING TO BE THIRSTY), snacks (chips and crackers and maybe candy or beef jerky. POP TARTS. Shelf-stable food, that will replenish your sodium and give you calories to keep your blood sugar up until you figure out meals, basically - you're going to be hungry and you are going to need something to eat onhand because you're moving to an unfamiliar area and you should have a snack while you figure out where the local grocery store/pizza place is), clean underwear and pajamas. You want to pack a big box full of all the things you're going to use to be nice to yourself at the end of the first day of unpacking. You may want to put some chemical ice packs, blister cushions, a first aid kit, painkillers, and booze in there too.
BEFORE YOU GO make a list of the new local places you'll want to know about. Search the area ahead of time and write down the addresses and phone numbers of local pizza places, hardware stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. Moving to a new place is disorienting and it's better to know the location of the nearest grocery store before you go than it is to try to find one once you're there, and it's MUCH better to just be able to call the take-out place whose number you've already written down and whose menu you've checked out than it is to go "....okay does this town have a Thai restaurant?" once you're there. Actually, here's a list. Write down the address and phone numbers of the following: - Nearby Pharmacy - Nearby Hardware Store - Nearby Restaurants you want to try (and menu items you want to try from those restaurants!) - Nearby Urgentcare - Nearby Hospital - Nearby Grocery Store - Nearby Discount Store - Nearby Veterinarian - Phone numbers of any service or utility providers you're going to be using - Local branch of your bank
If you have never lived in this place before, it is going to be confusing and disorienting for a while. You're not going to know local landmarks, everything is going to seem *really* far away the first time you go there. Once you get to town, when you find you have downtime, go to the places on your list. Drive by the bank on the way to the grocery store. Get lunch out at a new restaurant on the way to the hardware store. Figure out where there's a local park and go there once a day. Go to the same places three or four times until you start learning where they are in relation to your new home, this will help to orient you to the area and make everything less exhausting.
Your cats are probably going to be confused and mad at you. Make sure that you and everyone else unpacking has a plan to keep the cats contained while doors are opened; the cats will be happier about not being subjected to the chaos of furniture moving and vacuum cleaners and you will be happier if you're not worried about your cats trying to make a run back to Alaska. Put your cats in a smallish room that you won't need to use constantly (a bathroom or closet is probably a good idea) and don't let them out unless you're sure the doors to the house are closed and there's no chance of an escape.
Prepare for the weather where you're moving. You may need to hydrate more, or to buy cooler clothes, or to make sure your cats have more access to water or a cooler hangout place (or a warmer hangout place!). What's the average temperature in your new home in the month you're moving. How do you currently dress and act when you're in temperatures like that? Prepare accordingly.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head that I figured out that isn't in every single standard moving guide. Trashcan full of cleaning supplies, know where the local food is, pack snacks to have in the house, pad your dishes with your towels, contain your critters, get a tetanus shot, and books go in small boxes.
Good luck!
So glad that my cat is still small, shes laying on my chest right now and if she was full sized i dont think i would be able to breathe as good
So a lot of people think cut/fresh flowers are really expensive or decadent, and that it’s not worth buying them when they’re at a reduced price because they’ll die within about a day and it’s still Too Expensive and like I just. I need to let you know that it isn’t true and unless it’s a super special occasion and you’re going to an actual florist for an actual special bouquet you don’t have to, nay shouldn’t, pay full price for flowers ever. I mean I can only really speak for the UK where you can get flowers in the grocery store which is naturally cheaper than a florist, and also where I always get mine, but the techniques apply to “anywhere one can obtain a bunch of flowers” If you take care of your cut flowers - which don’t worry isn’t hard - the slightly sad looking slightly wilty half price ones will STILL last you two weeks. Observe:
Everything in that vase except the dark red flowers and the ivory roses was purchased, half wilted, in the reduced bucket an ENTIRE WEEK ago. The dark reds and ivories? TWO WEEKS (I don’t normally premade bouquets because they end up in the reduced less often and even when they do they’re still more expensive than getting a few bunches of different types of flowers) TWO. WEEKS. From a wilted half price “we are become death” state. Here’s what it looked like a whole entire week ago when I put the new flowers in:
(the big yellow bastard in the bottom left is also from the previous week) I mean they’ve still “hardly wilted” now and if I was so inclined I could leave it another couple of days, but this is normally the point at which I remove them and put new flowers in the gaps. Also, cut off the heads and keep them for a bath. You’ll feel So Fucking Fancy and it cost you nothing. So how do you revive sad looking cut flowers, cheat the system, and have a permanent display of vibrant colourful BUT ULTIMATELY CHEAP AS SHIT flowers in your home? 1. Remove the leaves. You can remove all of them if you like but the most important thing is removing leaves along the length of the stem which will be in water. If leaves are submerged they will begin to rot and just kill everything. You can keep the ones that poke out above the vase for bulk and Oooh Pretty Green if you want, or not. 2. Trim the stems with SHARP and CLEAN (preferably steralised by dunking in some boiling water) scissors or a SHARP and CLEAN knife. Do so at an angle. Chances are you need to shorten the stems so they fit in your vase properly anyway, but doing this allows for better uptake of water and nutrients. 3. Use a CLEAN container. If there’s a bit of grossness hanging around from previous flowers, scrub that shit out. 4. Give them cool water. I live in an area with very soft water so I don’t have to do anything, but if you don’t then either filtering it or letting it stand for a few hours first will help. 5. Use flower feed! Most bunches, at least over here, come with a wee sachet of flower food. If you DON’T get a sachet of feed you can MAKE YOUR OWN. It’s super easy. You need 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of regular white sugar and half a teaspoon of bleach (yes really) per 1 litre (quart) of water. You won’t need a whole litre, obviously, but you can keep it in the cupboard in a bottle or just scale down the recipe. Put a teaspoon (or two if you have a big pitcher style vase) in your water. Different flower types optimally need different levels of sugar and you can totally look up what that ratio is if you only have one kind (like all roses or something) but 1 tablespoon: 1 litre works well enough. Now that your flowers are back to life, you can keep them looking good for a decent long while 1. Remove dead/wilted heads either as and when you see them or just like once a week (I’m lazy, I just do it once a week) 2. Remove any leaves that are going the same way 3. Once a week, change out the water. Fish out any plant material that may have fallen in, rinse the container, put in new water and feed. 4. When you’re doing the water change, give the stems another small trim. Only 1cm (half an inch) or so, unless the bottom of the stem is going pale and a bit limp looking, in which case lop off as much of that part as you can whilst still being able to fit them in the vase properly. If they end up noticably shorter than the others, just keep those ones to the outside of the arrangement OR put them in the middle and use the other flowers to keep them propped up within the water so they appear the same height. 5. Replace removed dead flowers with ones from your next cut-price bunch. That way you’re a) keeping a perpetual but ever-changing bouquet and b) need to buy less flowers at once than just waiting for everything to die off and replacing the whole thing. Cut flowers make me happy. I’m sure having a nice beautiful bunch of colourful flowers in your room makes you happy too, and you absolutely don’t need to spend a fortune to make that happen.
Love my oc so so so much
She just needs an ibuprofen i promise
