Band-aids of death

Masterlist

Luke Castellan x Hades! reader (implied, fem)

Percy Jackson x Hades! reader (platonic)

Summary: Percy meets the bandaid dealer who has his friend so smitten

Warning: Absolutely non, teeth rotting stuff really, no use of y/n

author note: English is not my first language so I am sorry for any mistakes beforehand. I read the books long ago and I'm currently in the process of re-reading them, so some lore might be wrong. Also using what I remember from the show! Proofread by me and me only :(

word count: 1347

Percy has been in at this camp stuff for a week now and he was just not loving it. From the overcrowded cabin 11 to Clarisse's relentless bugging, he just wanted to go home. This was his home now, yes, but that does not mean he can't yearn for better. And on top of all that, it seems like he's good at absolutely nothing. If there was a competition at being bad at everything he would still somehow end up in second place.

Today was no better. Luke, Counselor of the Hermes cabin, has decided that maybe Percy could take on a sword fight. He couldn't. Not like he could go against the best swordsman in the last 300 years anyway. After what felt like hours, Luke finally gave the boy a break and Percy felt like he could breathe. Only for a second that is, because his friend decided to take him to a new area of the camp.

Walking to a small building only lightly connected to the infirmary was rather ominous. While everywhere in the camp where people, this shack could be abandoned and he would not be surprised. His friend. however, walked faster than normally, seemingly excited to show him what's inside.

They stopped by the open door and Percy could finally see that it was not abandoned and the little two-story house was, indeed, occupied. Looking at his friend with suspicion, who now sports a wide grin on his face, Percy could not help but think there was more to it than Luke said.

Walking in, Luke chimes the bell that sits on the top of the door frame. The girl who, until now, was checking out the shelves of what seems to be medicine and chemicals turns around with a confused look. She wore the same ‘ camp uniform ‘ as everyone else, confirming to Percy that she was one of them as well. Although her shirt seemed to have switched color schemes and was black with an orange print of the camp name.

“ Hello Sweetheart, how's the inventory going?” Luke asks and pushes Percy slightly in front of him, not something he appreciates. The girl, unamused, does not answer his question. Instead, she answers him with her own. “ What brings you here, Castellan? Last time I checked you did not need allergy medication.” Chuckle could be heard from his friend. Percy, not interested in their bickering, looks around the room. Small table by the door with a stack of paper, a black mysterious jar, and what Percy recognizes as an old land-line phone. One wall of the room was just a shelf with what he now knows for sure is medicine with a door at the end. By the window, there was an old medical bed, and next to it, stood, by Percy's standards, an unstable chair.

A hand on his shoulder snaps him out and he turns his head back to the girl. “ So what's wrong with you?” She asks and motions him to sit on what seems to be a more sturdy version of the same chair he just saw. “ Other than that I suck at everything and my father not bothering to claim me? nothing much really.” Laugher was heard from the two older campers.

“ No, I meant like, why are you here guys? If you were training with Lu here, you might have some scratches.” She points to Luke, who seems to be proud just of the fact that she acknowledges him. Before he can answer she continues, “Although if you're seriously hurt, maybe you should visit the Apollo kids, I ain’t no nurse, really.”

“ No need for that, we just need some band-aids.” Luke proclaims and pats his chest where his heart is. “ You have bandaids in your cabin, and I know for sure, I saw your siblings steal some. “ she snapped back softly at his friend.’ It's in their nature’ Luke says under his nose and takes a few steps to the girl putting his arm around her shoulders. “ Sweetheart here is a terrible nurse-”

“Hey! I am an excellent necromancer!”

“Too bad that your patient is still alive, Sweets,” Luke argues back at the girl. She just shakes her head and walks behind her desk. Luke follows closely behind her like a magnet was pulling him over. Percy watches as she opens a drawer and pulls out the biggest box of band-aids he has ever seen. “ What kind do you want, em…” She looks at him kinda awkwardly.

“Percy.” “ Right, Percy, do you want Spiderman band-aid? It's a big hit with the younger campers.” She smiles and pulls out an impressive collection of Spiderman band-aids. “ Ah, no, normal ones are fine.” I watch as a pout appears on her face as she puts them back and starts to look through the box as if looking for something.

“I want the Spiderman one.” Chimes in Luke who is now leaning over this girl. “ You can get the boring ones, Castellan, I don't care.” It was now Luke's turn to pout. “ What cabin are you from?” Percy asks, wanting to learn some more about the girl that has his friend so smitten. Her eyes look up at him before going back to her box.

“ I don't have a cabin, I sleep on the second floor. There is a staircase in the back.” She says as it is the most normal thing ever. Which it was, just not in camp half-blood. That confuses Percy, from what he learned at the camp so far, everyone that has been claimed either has a cabin or just sleeps in Hermeses one. So that is exactly why he asks. “ Why don't you sleep in Hermes cabin?” The girl straightens her posture, seeming in thought. His friend hugged her from behind around her shoulders. They remind him of an old married couple.

“Well, there are cabins for the twelve Olympians. My dad has no throne on Olympus. He kinda does his own thing down under.” “ Australia?” “No Percy, the underworld.” She says though giggles and wiggles herself from the hug. She makes her way forward to Percy and stands in front of him carefully peeling parts of the band-aid.

“ Your dad is Hades?” Hum leaves her as an answer. Focusing on placing the band-aid right above his eyebrow where he scratched himself earlier during training with Luke. When she's done, she turns to a black jar on her table and opens it. To Percy's surprise, she pulls out a lollipop and gives it to him. “You're good to go fighter, Don't stay here longer than you need to!” She sings and ushers the boy out of the chair and to the door. Percy turns to his friend,

“ Luke, are you not coming?” he asks waiting for him to answer. Luke gives him a look of fake thought, Percy knows it's fake because he, himself used it many times back at the academy. Luke shakes his head and smiles.

“No, I haven't been treated by my nurse yet.” The girl groans and snaps her head to the sky. Percy just shrugs and walks out of the building. As he opens his lollipop, he turns his head back to look at his friends.

He can see Luke being peppered with kisses on his face. When the girl moves he can see a band-aid with hearts that now decorates the scar on his face. Percy just chuckles and moves on, determined to find Grover or Annabeth to tell them what he witnessed. He failed to notice his bright blue bandaid with bubbles on it.

habits they developed in your relationship

౨ৎ seventeen

seungcheol - massages

imagine this: you’re laying on the sofa with your legs across his lap. he’d just softly massage you. not too hard yet not too soft to the point where you wouldn’t feel a thing. sitting in silence and letting the background ambience soothe over you both is his ideal pass time. being in your presence is a gift he will forever cherish.

jeonghan - photos

snaps a picture of you at every given chance. If you’re just walking hand-in-hand, he’d tug your hand and tell you to smile whilst he pulls out his phone and takes a picture of you. trust, he has an album just for you on his phone with 300+ pictures.

joshua - sticky notes

you woke up alone this morning. rolling over and finding nothing but an empty joshua sized dent in the mattress. groaning as you stretch out your arms and head for the restroom. you open the door, and there it is - todays notes. “had to leave early, i miss you already:(” another on the fridge read “made something special, eat up my love”. even in his absence he could make you grin like a child.

jun - breakfast

if you’ve come home stressed the day before he’d plan a cozy day for the two of you to relax. some days he’ll wake up early to cook up breakfast; if you were really feeling worn out, he’d go as far as to print out a ‘menu’ with options like “water on the rocks” to be fancy. always expect a whipped cream happy face on your pancakes.

hoshi - writing reviewing

when he comes up with lyrics or just simple ideas that he thinks could possibly be good—he’d immediately rush to you. always beyond excited to hear your opinions and grow from them. a lot of times he’ll write something about you and let you read it out to see if you’d notice, if you do, he wiggles his eyebrows and throws in a comment like “idk i just kinda wrote about this person i’ve been obsessed with lately” and smirks at you.

wonwoo - games w you

he’s a gamer. we know this, he enjoys being left alone to play games but recently he’ll wait for you to join him. he wouldn’t bombard you either. once he notices that you’ve finished whatever you were doing, only then will he ask if you’d want to play with him. if you didn’t really feel like playing and just watching, he’d pull you into his lap and stay like that. he just wants you near, the feeling of your heartbeat soothes him.

woozi - back hugs

he isn’t big on pda, which is the complete opposite of you. You’d hug him and kiss up to him at any and every chance you got. He’s gotten very used to it and started showing his love in the same way. You’re cooking? Walks behind you and just hugs you. Laying down? snuggles behind you. He just adores you in silence.

dokyeom - soft talking

no matter how strong you put yourself up as, he’ll forever see you as a fragile piece of art that deserves to be handled with extreme care. once he gets home, he drops the screaming and just cuddles into you—absorbing your scent and immediately melting. won’t ever raise his voice at you, ever. but he does love to talk, and when he does, he uses the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard. and it’s only for you.

mingyu - playing with your hair

he will watch youtube videos on braiding and all that. he loves running his fingers through your hair, and if you happen to have curly hair, he’d love to play with it all night. you are so mesmerizing to him in every way possible. if you got the sudden urge to dye your hair, he’d ask for permission to do it himself.

minghao - follows you

he’s very firm on his own decisions, but with you, he’d do whatever you please. suddenly feel like shopping? ok, get in the car. like that. there are times when you think maybe you’re too pushy, bc why else would he be obeying you like a puppy?? but he always—Always reashures you that it’s purely because he loves you and would absolutely do anything to keep you smiling.

seungkwan - journaling

he would sometimes stay days away from home for work, and in that time he’d often find himself writing for you. at first he found it odd, he’s never written like this. but soon enough he ends up purchasing a blank book. when he misses you or even when he just has too much running through his mind—he writes it out. he wrote you a few cheesy poems he thought were publishing material.

vernon - painting your nails

when you first asked him to help you, he was struggling. he didn’t think it would be so difficult to just paint. “ja-jan..” he mumbles as he shows off your freshly painted cuticles, you let out a laugh when he looked away in embarrassment. since then it’s become second nature to him. he goes out every now and then just to buy a few new colors he thought would look so amazing on you. surprisingly enough, he’s gotten better than you, designs and all.

dino - just dance

he loves being in your presence. with you just being near him, he’s comfortable. but sometimes he just can’t sit still. one morning you were forced out of your sleep by the exageratingly loud noise of music. upon walking into the parlor, there he is, dancing to crazy in love by beyoncé, “join me” he asked. since then it’s been normal to play these with him. it gets so competetive, if he lost severly he’d grumble all day. but he loves that time with you best of all.

Re: Redbubble & Alternatives

Redbubble is doing some nonsense and I've deleted my account. I barely bothered with it anyway, was mostly there for people who've asked for specific images as posters.

Anyway in doing that I sacrificed the $4.35 that was still sitting in my earnings. They only let you cash out at $20, so rather than drum up sales and therefore make Redbubble more money, I'm gonna do what I feel is $4.35 in anti-publicity for them. 🥳

tl;dr there are new fees that hurt artist income at all sales levels. Redbubble is either looking to cut costs and raise profits for funsies, or is in serious financial trouble.

About the new fees:

Redbubble offers their services to artists by allowing artists to control their profit margin above a certain baseline manufacturing fee. This was pretty cool! There's now an additional fee that will be charged starting May 1, 2023. It is not an upfront fee that requires you to pay out of pocket, but it does directly cut your profit margin. How badly? Well...

By Redbubble's own example, if in one month you sell $300 in products that you had set at a 25% margin, you'd previously earn $75. Under the new structure, that earnings level means you pay a $28 fee, so you will now be paid $47. That $28 represents a 37% cut off what you were supposed to earn.

There's a full fee table in that link, but other highlights include a $1 fee if you earned $2 (aka 50%!) and big sellers who'd expect to take home $400 will now receive $320 (an $80 fee, 20%).

It also puts you in a weird spot that earning $1 more in a month may bump you to the next tier, causing you to actually take home less money. Make $1 more, end up losing $11. Make it make sense. 🤨

About the new tiers:

Each shop is evaluated and labeled Standard, Premium, or Pro. Premium and Pro shops are not subject to the new fees, but there's no clarity on how to move from one tier to another. Redbubble says it's under your control but it's clearly not. Many artists are reporting that they have accounts with next to no sales that have been labeled Pro, and accounts with thousands of annual sales that are labeled Standard.

Action items:

Look, I'm not gonna tell other artists that they have to close their shops, or tell buyers not to buy from Redbubble if your favorite artists have chosen to stay. What you do with the above info is up to you.

What I will say is that many artists are leaving because the new pay structure sucks. I encourage people who buy from Redbubble to expand their support to other sites.

Attrition is arguably their goal here—they know people will leave over this, and that'll probably lower their costs and lower competition for the remaining accounts. But goodwill is lost easily and they're playing a dangerous game on betting how many stay vs. leave. I'm out.

Feel free to leave your feedback on Redbubble's feedback form here, but it feels slightly like yelling into the void.

Alternatives:

tbh I don't have a good read on things. If you do know of any recommended (or unrecommended) print-on-demand sites, speak up!

I will say that as of now (April 2023), based on my research:

🟢 INPRNT sounds like a winner if your game is art prints and stickers. Does not have any wearable products like t-shirts.

🟡 Etsy + Printify/Printful might be viable? Etsy always had higher profit margins than POD marketplaces, but it's a bit more work and they also do weird things occasionally. Also has a listing fee so if you're the type to upload a ton of designs, pricey.

🔴 Teepublic is owned by Redbubble. Doesn't have the tier/new fee structure as of now but might be imminent. Have also heard their customer service sucks.

🔴 Society6 is going to charge artists shipping costs, and there's going to be a (mandatory?) subscription service launched in the fall, so that's not a winner anymore either.

Library Tips For Magic Practitioners

As a Missouri librarian, I've gotten to know my library district pretty well. So here are some tips for you!

Tip 1: Dewey is your friend.

And by that I mean the Dewey Decimal System (a more in-depth list is in that link) is your friend. It breaks down as follows:

000: General Knowledge (encyclopedias, newspapers, almanacs, etc)

100: Psychology & Philosophy (feelings, logic, friendships, etc)

200: Religions & Mythology (Bible stories, Native American myths, classical mythology, etc)

300: Social Sciences & Folklore (families, career, money, government, etc)

400: Languages (English, Spanish, American Sign Language, grammar, etc)

500: Math & Science (arithmetic, animals, rocks, plants, fossils, etc)

600: Medicine & Technology (inventions, machines, farming, health, etc)

700: Arts & Recreation (crafts, painting, music, games, sports, etc)

800: Literature (poetry, plays, novels from other countries, etc)

900: Geography & History (countries, biographies, etc)

If you're looking for ghosts, divination, and witchcraft specifically, look around 133. That's where I've found most of my magic-based books to borrow. You'll also find books talking about people's near-death experiences or reincarnation around this point.

While fiction technically falls in the 800s, most libraries will have it separate from nonfiction. You may still find things like poems or memoirs in the nonfiction section. Some libraries will have the biographies separated into their own section. A few libraries (at least here in Missouri) will have state-specific sections where you can learn more about local stuff.

Tip 2: There are computers and printers to use.

If you can't research something at home for literally any reason, getting a library card will often grant you access to using the computers and printers in the library.

When using the printer, some libraries will charge based on how much ink you use, other libraries will charge based on how much paper you use, and other libraries will charge based on some other criteria.

Be aware that you lose access to these if you reach a certain level of overdue materials or money is charged to your library card until the materials are returned/paid for or the money is paid off. Luckily, librarians are here to help you and can tell you what's missing.

Tip 3: Libraries have more than books.

Seriously. The main branch of my library district has 3D printers, telescopes, gaming systems to use in-building, and more stuff that I didn't even pay attention to because I was scrambling to learn the behind-the-counter stuff. Feel free to ask us for something and we can see if it's in-county for ya!

Audiobooks are often available on CDs and in the form of Playaways, which are like MP3 players with a single book on them. You will need a wire-connected set of earbuds or a wire-connected headset and batteries. Some libraries sell earbuds, but not batteries.

Large Print books will often have their own special designation as LP, but more often they have their own shelf sections. You'll find a surprising number of Westerns there, but there are Large Print nonfiction books.

Tip 4: Requesting materials.

Not finding something you're looking for? Ask the front desk for help! In Missouri, we have the Missouri Evergreen system, which means we can borrow books from all over the state* on the topic you're looking for.

If we can't find it (or you're in a library that doesn't have such a monumental reach), then you can often fill out a book request form. We will then do our best to order the book for you - but be aware that it could take many months, and most of the time, people will cancel their order of the book well before our budget catches up or we even have time to get the book processed and integrated into the system. Patience is key when ordering a new book.

*At participating branches - not every library district in our state is part of Missouri Evergreen.

Tip 5: Self-checkout is a thing.

At least, it is here in Missouri. If you don't want to interact with the front desk, there are often self-checkout stations for books, DVDs, audiobooks, et cetera. Even my middle-of-nowhere branch has one!

Unfortunately, this won't work for other things, like updating your card once it expires or resolving monetary charges (which will both send you to the front desk).

Tip 6: Search the new shelves.

Some libraries like mine will have specially-designated "New Shelves", where you can find a lot of the most recent releases. If you're trying to find something in a particular number that you saw on the search but can't find it, it may be on the new shelf. These get cycled out whenever new books come in, which may mean that you have several months' worth of new releases to dig through.

In short, I hope this helps you in your search through the library! Best of luck to you!

~Jasper

How much do you want to bet that Tecchou has a god damn bug collection and he just shows it off to you proudly😭 "Babe come look it's my favourite beetle boogahooga" I JUST KNOW HE GIVES EITHER THE MOST BASIC NAMES OR LIKE "MEGA BLENDER X300 MAX"

Also I love your writing so much omfg😔🩷🩷

Don't be so antsy!

Summary: It's been a few months since Tetchou declared his love for you and he couldn't be happier, especially after finally showing you his treasured collection! But how will you react?

Genre: FEAR 🤡 because insects... Also cracky and a bit of fluff bc i just love him so much 💕😭 slight suggestive hint at the end 🤓

A/N: FOAMING AT MY MOUTH FROM EXCITEMENT!!!! still cant believe that u love my writing 😭😩fangirling so hard rn, time to print, frame and hang this onto my wall. No one can stop me 😤😤😤

Suehiro Tetchou

You knew about his adoration for bugs even before the both of you got together

It wasnt smth he'd be talking about for HOURS bc its just a topic never really spoken about

all the other hunting dogs know about it but... they wanted to spare u LMAO 😭

like u accompany him to his work place and his colleagues r outside of the dooe, waiting for him so they can leave

u r like waving at them and teruko waves back but yall r just caught off guard when jouno YELLs out of nowhere "MOVE YOUR DUMB ASS ALREADY OVER HERE 💀💀"

Like was he yelling at u??? Yall we dont know who he lookin at bc HOW 😭😭😭😩 srynotsry

But u realised who he meant when u looked behind u and tf 🤨🤨🤨

Tetchou just EMERGES out of a fking bush and 🤨🤨 is that 🤨🤨 a random ass bug in his hand 🤨🤨🤨 he got KIDNAPPED

"But I found this cool grasshopper... His name's Bush."

"DONT GIVE IT A NAME! PUT THAT SHIT BACK ALREADY AND M O V E"

Jouno is just seconds away from beating the shit out of him bc

"WHERE'D HE GET THAT JAR FROM???" "Teruko, that's not important. Make him HURRY UP ALREADY"

"Can we take Leaf with us?"Jouno is already taking his sword out to kill that thing 💀💀

cue a RANDOM ASS FIGHT 💀💀💀

"PUT IT BACK AND LETS MOVE YOU FUCKER" "No, I won't let you hurt Omega 300 GT 5" "Wait I thought his name wa-UGH IDC ILL KILL THAT THING FFS"

tachihara just turns away with "k, think im walking home already BYE"

teruko just yanks him back and the other boys too so that they can finally leave

"Can I take him wit-" "No. I know you like these kinds of things but no. Also if you want that thing to actually LIVE then put it back bc u know who will exterminate the shit out of it." "Hm. 😐"

He just walks up to u and goes "can u take this. please"

U cant say no to his puppy eyes 👁️👁️

You're just so confused but maybe its also cute??? U just thought that its a little interest in him but BOY

It wasnt so little as u thought 🤓 LOL i gotta get my head out of the gutter

********

Holding hands while going on a stroll was something you'd often find yourself doing during your free time together, especially when the sun was shining so brightly while a fresh spring breeze would occasionally sweep through the air.

Humming a random tune while you lightly swayed your joined hands back and forth.

Tetchou couldn't help but let a soft smile grace his lips at the slightly childish action.

No words could describe how much he enjoyed your leisurely strolls together. It would be seen as a nearly generic thing to do together as a couple but for him it was a time to be treated as sacred. Where else could he tuck your hair behind your ears when the wind would blow through it? Or where else could he see the sunlight make you shine impossibly brighter in his eyes, almost blindingly so?

But what really excited him were the "little" discoveries you'd make on your way.

And oh wait? What's tha-

"Y/N."

Hearing your name made you about to turn your face towards him yet there was no need!

Since your boyfriend forgot how strong he was...

Yanking a bit too hard on your arm made you hit his chest with your back, a small "oof" slipping past your lips.

"OUCH, Tetchou??? What in the-"

"Look."

"Huh?"

You let your gaze follow the direction his outstretched arm, finally stopping at what he was pointing at with his index finger.

To your not so much surprise it was a-

"It's a colony of ants. Look at how hard they're working, Y/N."

Before you could even think of stopping him, he had already moved towards them, crouching down to get a closer look.

You let out a sigh yet couldn't help smiling at his endearing but also random antics.

No matter how many times it would help, it never managed to not be funny. The Hunting Dogs were known for how powerful yet also how "eccentric" the members were, yet witnessing it for the first time and continuing to live with it never failed to bring a smile on your face.

Especially with just how cute your boyfriend looked right now! The way his eyes would twinkle at the mention of insects was something you personally could only understand but never relate to.

As much as you would love to go along and try to enjoy it with him, you kinda wanted to continue on your walk.

Because when he's focused on something then it would be a real nuisance to get him away from it.

But that's not a problem for the love of his life, right?

*********

Jokes on you, it actually was 💀

Like u got a hunch hes doing it on purpose when he pulls his puppy eyes and that barely but noticeable enough atleast for you pout on u when u said

"I love you, but i kinda wanna yk walk?"

"But Y/N 😟. *points at the ants* only for a minute, please 🥺"

YALL KNOW 😩 YALL KNOOOOW ITS NOT GONNA BE A MINUTE 😔😔😔

Your legs gonna start cramping from watching these fuckers crawl around??? Nah no one CARES 😤😤 jk jk

our cutie tetchouie would NEVER ignore his partners needs okur okur

Like hes already whipped from how we r atleast TRYING to enjoy what hes enjoying

He knows how unlikeable these little crawlers i hate bugs can be but his s/o is trying so hard and he just 🥺🥺🥺 looks at u wirh heart eyes

dw if u cant walk, he'll give u either a piggyback ride yall being cute 😤💕 or the classic bridal style 😩

And dw if he finds another interesting bug but his hands r occupied? Nah, he gon GET THAT ANYWAY

*********

"ACHOO"

"Bless you."

"Thanks." You told him as you lightly rubbed your nose with the back of your hand. You loved his hair but it would often tickle your nose whenever you'd try to look over his shoulder as he was carrying you on his back.

It was one of the small ways of him apologizing to you and enduring his antics.

His heart would nearly suffocate him from how much it would swell whenever you'd just reassure him that it was totally okay for you. If he loved ants then it's just what he loved and as his partner, you'd be open for everything that makes him happy.

Yet he still tried to keep it down around you so he was often a bit torn between.

"Ah. Wait is that...?"

Oh no.

You knew it.

You knew what was about to happen next.

Before you could stop him, he was already walking off of the path and into the field.

A whine got past your lips yet he seemed too caught up in his fascination of...?

"A horned beetle!"

Some meters above you, sat a beetle on a branch, seemingly undisturbed by the both of you and yet in Tetchou's eyes, it equaled a sacred national treasure.

A treasure that he wanted to get his hands on.

"Hold tight, Y/N."

"WAIT N-!"

Hooking your arm and legs tightly like a koala around his body, he made a leap for it. You didn't know HOW he managed to do it every time but there he was.

Jumping onto the tree and quickly pulling a tiny jar out of a pocket in his blazer (you don't even know how he even hid that...) and-

"I got it!" He exclaimed in happiness as he jumped down, holding his hand onto the open jar. Screwing a lid onto it, he gave it a quick glance before putting it back into his pocket.

Noticing that you were slowly losing your grip on him, he hooked his arms under your legs, hoisting you up again before almost nonchalantly continuing your walk as if he hadn't just jumped up a tree for a beetle...

"Uhm, you don't wanna stare at it or something?" You asked, genuinely surprised yet almost regretting the question since it could change his mind.

"No, I can do that at home. Your legs are hurting after all."

A smile spread onto your lips at his kind words, only spreading further after hearing a slight hitch in his breathing as you let your lips graze his neck before planting a kiss on it.

"Anything for my love, you know? By the way, have you thought of a name yet for your new little friend?"

"I have but-"

You felt him tighten his grip around your legs before he suddenly began to pick up his pace, walking in long and fast strides.

"Want to be home as fast as possible, so we can you know..."

He peeked over his shoulder to see your slightly reddened face before looking forward, strongly focused on one thing.

"continue what you've started."

A small laugh slipped out of him, your nose tickling his neck as you hid your face in it, immediately knowing what he was implying and well...

You weren't complaining.

********

No one would have expected it but... our boy's pretty easy to rile up 😤😩

yall think he cute and innocent?? Nah nah he wanna get into that shi* too like hes a whipped and legit down bad man for his love rightfully so ✋✋

dw after yall r done, he'll def bring back the topic of "naming his friend/-s" and welp

u better be ready to spend ur weekend on that kinda thing 💀💀💀 and yall gonna settle on the either cutest or most ridiculous shit...

Its either "Groundbreaker 500, The Nightmare of All" or "sugarberry twinkle star" 🤓🤓 if he wants to honor the place he found it (like in the beginning ^), uhhhhhh 🤨

This btch's name is gonna be "leftover bread" or smth bc it was on it when he found that thing💀

yall cant convince me otherwise BYE 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

LOL, this got way too long and i kinda got carried away but that always happens with him 😩😩😩 maybe rushed at the end but i hope u r happy with this @soysaucefu 💅💕💕

I have only asked for one matchup in the past like 8 years of imagine blog requesting but I figured hey, why not? I've been reading your blog nonstop for like 2 weeks, lol! Lets see, I'm about 5ft 4 with a bob of ringlets and a round, even, bespectacled face. I'm pretty curvy and perhaps on the heavier side but I've got a lot more strength to my frame than most give me credit for! In the day to day folks look at me and think I'm a 100% cerebral kind of person and for the most part they'd be right, at least when I was younger. I used to be the ultimate shut-in for the simple fact that I suffer from a family curse on my father's side- when we aren't learning we feel like we're *fucking dieing*(i didn't make tht up it's the family running joke!). These days I'm much more outgoing; I play DnD in 2 groups, have tons of online friends I talk to regularly, I've got a routine of 'sister night's where me and my sister paint together, I sing in a chorus, and I've got study sessions with my mentor going too- so I'm kinda a former-antisocial-dork-turned-deliberate-part-of-their-communities kinda chick. I feel like if i was dropped in middle earth I'd wanna try and build a printing press, my first degree was in graphic design so I know a ton about all the different kinds, I'd love to share! After all, what's the point of learning if you don't use your information to *help* people? Guess I'd be a scribe if I was born there tho. I skew towards liking the hobbit characters more than LOTR, but I'm up for anyone that's in both, too. Congrats on 300, you deserve it!!

Thank you so much for your support and heck yeah, *you* deserve the treat of a matchup too 😘 I’m so glad you said that about the hobbit characters because I definitely had someone in mind for you…

Dear Ori!

Ori finds out someone is causing quite a stir with a new invention, so of course he has to see what all the fuss is about! Something about a revolution amongst his world of scribes happening right at the foot of his home down in Dale. Making his way down to the study named, he musters up the courage to knock on the door. Coming to call unannounced isn't exactly the most polite behavior, he knows, but then again this inventor must be having a lot of that these days. He isn't expecting to see a cute young woman open the door, though, and his first thought is one hoping you aren't just the inventor's wife opening the door for them.

You are not. The moment Ori shyly greets you, asking if it's true what the scribes are saying about an exciting new device, your eyes light up and you usher him in. Inside your home is a bit messy, but the comforting sort of messy where charming china sits out atop tables, game boards at their sides, papers are strewn about with notes and diagrams and drawings Ori wishes he could see better. A potted plant sits in one corner with an unfinished sketch of its likeness on the adjacent shelf. A fire is fighting its best to stay lit behind an elaborately styled metal gate, no doubt to keep it that much further from all the paper. All in all, Ori thinks to himself that this is somewhere he could live. As you begin taking him across the room to a door, you animatedly discuss your many trials and errors before you reveal your masterpiece. A great structure with some sort of metal rod and a bunch of blocks? Printing press, you call it. You had blocks for each letter, the rod pulled down to press the ink down... "Now we can save some time if we need a lot of copies! What do you think?" You stood there with your head expectantly tilted, hands clasped in front of you. "They say Thorin or Bard might like something like this for decrees, but as a fellow scribe do you see a future with this?"

Gaping at your smarts and flushing at the faint flutter of your eyelashes, Ori nods. "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen, and I fought a dragon." "You...fought a dragon?" It is your turn to gape as you peer at the dwarf with new interest. "Threatened to show him dwarvish iron where the sun don't shine," he replied with a proud smile, arms crossed, "but you know, in the end Mr. Bard got 'im. We all showed him what for, though! This tops that by a long shot, though- how'd you think of this?" Kettle on first, hours of discussion later. Soon it was near nightfall and Ori was apologizing profusely and you were waving it off, asking him for promise of a return with the sketches he mentioned.

A whole new page of sketches gets dedicated to figures with bobs of lovely curls, gorgeous curves that have Ori blushing, smiles upon a round, cheery face and spectacles never fully betraying the eyes' secrets. Whole hours of Ori’s day get dedicated to carving blocks for your press and trying them out with you and feeling his heart flip at the way you take his hands and leap in celebration. He can listen to you talk, whether it’s explaining your invention process or the instructions of the game you’re teaching him or even simply sharing some random animal facts from the latest book you picked up, all day, he thinks. And then one day as he’s leaving you press a kiss to his cheek and that’s it.

Flowers and a new book are thrust into your hand the moment you open the door, Ori standing before you telling you how much he likes you and can’t stop thinking about you and you positively must interrupt him to tell him he’s been like home to you or else he’ll keep going, the poor dear. He wants to take you out that day, walk you around proudly and savor the feeling of your hand in his as he shows you off.

eldest sibling vent

on 2/5, i found out that my mom had fallen twice in a short period of time (once at work, once at home) and that my siblings had decided not to tell me because i was "so stressed with work." (not in quotes to denote sarcasm, just in quotes bc that's verbatim)

they said not to worry, everything was okay, mom was just bruised up. oh yeah and also they went to her psychiatrist and he took her off one of her medications because one of the possible side effects is causing symptoms of parkinson's disease, which probably led to her falls. very casual, i'm not freaking out at all. and my siblings try to pacify me like "don't worry, we're adults, we can take care of this!"

so on that day, 2/5, my two requests for those adults were: 1) get mom a cane, the physician said she needs to use one until the medication is fully out of her system, i will reimburse you for it and 2) please make mom a self-assessment chart so she can fill it out every day and we can track her progress/her symptoms.

two days go by and neither of them have done either of those things, so i end up getting a cane delivered to her myself and i end up creating the self-assessment and getting it printed and delivered to her myself, from 300 miles away.

then today, 2/14, i actually get my mom to send me the notes from her three physicians appointments regarding these falls. those "just bruises" are actually five different sprain sites, including sprains in both of her knees and her lumbar spine. then i notice on the same paperwork, her status for work is "restricted." she's not supposed to climb stairs, stand or walk for prolonged periods, crouch or bend down, or lift anything 10lbs+. she absolutely has to do all those things at work and she's BEEN AT WORK since her falls. she has to stand sometimes for 2.5 hours straight without a break!

then i find out her workplace sent her all the paperwork for worker's comp!!! she could have already qualified for lost wages (u have to miss 4 work days before you qualify) and just BEEN AT HOME, HEALING. but noooo, nobody is keeping track of this shit? nobody is going with her to her appointments and, worse, they're also not reading her doctor's notes????? she didn't show anyone the worker's comp stuff and they didn't think to ask? I'M the one giving THEM updates on her when i'm 300 miles away and they're FIVE MINUTES away??????

no offense but how the fuck am i really supposed to "relax" and "trust" my siblings to be adults who can take care of our mom when they're not fucking doing it!!!!! oh my god.

#i'm quaking w frustration n rage #my lyfe #the kvetching department

hey, may i ask what's up with redbubble? i can't find anything anywhere about it

I'm away from my PC til the 10th so I can't pull up the email they sent me, but the gist of it is that in addition to RB already taking the VAST majority of profit from sales, they've decided that any artist that hasn't hit a certain sales threshold has to pay an EXTRA fee on top of their already massive percentage. The numbers come out so that if you sell $300 worth of stuff, you only take home a little under $50, which is... Insane. Like absolutely insane.

To add insult to injury, they claim that they're using this extra stolen money to help "benefit artists" which is just absolutely fucking laughable considering they're stealing from the pockets of the people who are already making the least money.

I'm above the sales threshold that has the fee applied to them, so the change does not IMMEDIATELY affect me, but it's scummy as hell and I vehemently disagree with the change. I've already given them my feedback on the matter and I'm sure so have many other people, but they haven't commented on it further as far as I know, and it went into effect in may.

If I was more financially secure, I honestly would have closed my shop entirely by now. Unfortunately, I make less than 10k a year and redbubble sales account for a small but still meaningful amount of my income, so I really genuinely can't afford to shoot myself in the foot like that. I've made a spring store and I'm going to be looking back into society6 when I get back home, but as far as I know, redbubble practically has a monopoly on the print on demand scene just out of its sheer popularity.

#i'm very fucking bummed out about all of this

I have survived the very long day!! My calves and feet hurt very very much but I did it. And i held it together really well I think. I honestly had a great day.

I did not sleep good last night though. I kept waking up afraid I would miss my alarm. Though the ac was a nice white noise. And having it be at the foot of the bed this year rather then next to my head is way better.

When my alarm did go off at 630 I would pull myself out of bed. And I washed up and got dressed and felt super cute. This was going to be a really good day.

Me and James got ourselves ready. They came with me to the museum early to get set up for the market. We would also stop for breakfast and get there a little after 7.

I realized I forgot my sign and I was a little bummed but James, because they are amazing, drove home to get it for me. I was very forgetful today. But everything would work out.

I got my table set up and tried my best to make sure Ann had any help she needed. I would make trips inside to get the cart and any tools we needed. It was a great morning! But man it was hot. Our car would say it got to 103 but officially it got to 95. It was pretty brutal but I was under the pavilion and it wasnt as bad there. I had drinks and snacks and a good attitude.

I was nervous I wouldn't sell anything but in the end I made almost $300! My best day in memory. It would be pretty consistent throughout the morning. And people were so kind. I had raised all my prices by $5 and was nervous but no one seemed to care. Having a credit card reader helped a lot I'm sure. And I even had people who bought from me last year come back and buy new things! The big bears did not sell but they were a huge draw and everyone wanted to hug them. It was very very cute.

I had a lot of really nice chats. About art and the museum and programs. I would buy some amazing strawberries and a mint plant. James would get tomato plants too.

It was very busy though. And I was on my feet for almost the entire time. I did take my shoes off at one point and that helped a little. The cool cement under my feet made my whole body feel better.

But as 1 came around I was rushing. Ann left early, she had her last chemo treatment on Wednesday and she wasn't feeling good but was holding it together best she could. I would take over and make sure everyone was okay and heading out. I traded a print for a dozen eggs. I made sure things were packed up safely. And after going in to say goodbye to James I was on the road again.

I went out to puhtok. Got stuck in a little traffic because of the Preakness. But I got to camp at 215 without much trouble. Though my hands were shaking a bit and I was stressed.

But it was so nice to see Elizabeth and Cate and headed up to my building.

It felt a little like coming home. Though Elizabeth promised me it wasn't full of spiders but it for sure was. I would have time to set up the printing stuff and clean a little after bringing some of the stuff I brought inside. I am back on Tuesday and I hope to get more out away then. The real set up will happen in a few weeks but it was nice to start. I left it in good shape though so it should be pretty easy, even if it's time consuming.

The kids were a little older then I expected. Mid teens. But super sweet and they did a good job! I think I should have had them practice first but I was worried about them running out of time. But they did good and it was super fun watching them and helping them. Everyone did something even if it wasn't what I expected. One child had a really hard time coming up with an idea. And ended up doing this crazy heavy ink print just layering colors. It wasn't exactly the project but it was very avant garde and I encouraged it.

They were very fun though and I had a good time. But I had to rush again once they were done. I washed everything and was so distracted I almost left all my rings next to the art buildings water pump. I would turn the car around to get my rings. Said goodbye to everyone and was back on the road.

I was starving. And the gps took me the weirdest way but I would get to the museum and got myself chipotle and that was the best choice.

I ate my dinner and felt a lot better. I was just this side of exhausted but I couldn't think about that to much. I had a few more hours to hold it together.

I didn't realize this until later but apparently I was so tired I parked in the middle of two spots. Embarrassing. But I would do a bunch of extra stuff at the museum. Helping with the photographer and finding the best places to do photos. And then made a chase to print. It really was an awesome night.

The couple was lovely. And Kristen was fun to chat with when she wasn't in the other gallery. I had a lot of really lovely guests and I got to talk about things I'm passionate about for a while and it was a great night.

But once it was dinner I was just. Done. I couldn't hold it together and so Angie let me go home. Not that they ever actually need us for that last hour but I usually try to at least stay and help to clean. But I had to go home. I was in a lot of pain.

When I got back here, after driving basically directly into the sun, I would bring up my printing stuff and put away a few things but I felt so dirty from the heat and the dust from camo and I was just a little to hot still.

So I took a cool bath. And it was the best. I felt so much better after. And would play Stardew valley for an hour.

James was at a baseball game. Apparently having a blast with the 6 year old boy, Jackson, who was sitting next to them and is apparently their new best friend. Adorable. But they just got home. And so now it is time to get some rest.

Tomorrow CJ is coming to hang out and I have knitting to do and a print to finish and I have some things I need to write for a thing I might apply for. But now is sleep.

I hope you are all staying cool tonight. Take care of yourselves! Sleep well!

i read the jennette mccurdy memoir today. sort of happy i got it off zlib because it’s 90-ish essays with large print and a lot of negative space between them. each essay ends on a page break and you’d be hard pressed to find one where 75% or more of the final page is negative space. and $27 can buy me 3 items at the grocery store in this economy – i’d rather have it for that. especially since it’s just below 300 pages and i still crushed it in around 4 cumulative hours. it’s not exactly the phenomenology of spirit lol. i know i read quickly, but, like... eh. it’s a nitpick and probably an editor’s decision.

i suppose i went into it expecting it to be more, like, cathartic than it was? mccurdy and i do share a lot of superficial similarities. abusive mom who has severely unchecked mental health issues, only to get so much worse about it when she gets handed a breast cancer dx, SE-ED patients, a vessel that only exists to be filled with idiot bitch mom’s broken dreams. we diverge a lot on the details though, and that’s really interesting – especially since both parties still used cultural maternal shit as their sword and shield alike.

i suppose personal difference of experience would be, for one thing, me having no mixed feelings to speak of with my mom & being absolutely terrified of her temper for as long as i remember. my earliest memory of her was when i was sitting on this windowsill that was big enough for me to relax on and she’d left a plastic cabinet full of documents on it. i was looking through the tabs and saw one that was labeled as “taxes”, but in my mom’s shit handwriting, looked like it said “toxic”. i ran into the other room where she was, throwing a fit about touching the Poison Folder. and her slapping me so hard i fell down for rummaging through her things. i remember later being very scared about her getting off the phone, because if i hummed too loudly while i was coloring or putting a puzzle together, i’d get screamed at. i’m not sure i could ever properly articulate the exact sound of that. shrill but deep. so, so loud. i’ve never heard that tone of voice come from anyone’s mouth before or since. sans literally the fucking exorcist. but not in person. it still seems so abstract and inhuman. how was it human in origin? how could someone harbor this for a seven-year-old? i don’t remember ever loving her. i remember tolerating her and locking myself in my room whenever i inadvertently stepped on her toes. pleading to whatever power that be, who’d listen, for my dad to come home. she never did this to me if my dad was around.

incidentally, her threat du jour was to remove my bedroom door from its hinges after my parents separated. this cunt is getting the beatrice horseman treatment when she starts losing her marbles. i swear to god lol.

i’m sure this entry in my psychological history served as kindling for my an-bp prognosis later. there are, in my reflection, plenty of things that ignited my perfect storm conditions for developing a severe restrictive eating disorder in my 20s. incidentally, the take that sums it up most neatly is one from christian bale when he went on an extreme diet for his role in the machinist. he mentioned that there was a placidness about it all. you sleep infrequently. your emotions are dulled. you kick you feet up and read in the wee hours. the background noise quiets. i also sort of hate it because sister christian over here has never come out publicly as an ed sufferer but seems to understand the conceit of anorexia better than any doctor i’ve been to. oh my god.

pivoting back to jennette, i get that this shit is really, really difficult to manage. family ties make you kind of beholden to that person until they croak. and even then, you have to shuffle through the mess. my idiot mom and the stink she riled up about her literally “stage zero” breast cancer. didn’t even know this was a thing until she decided to play deathbed for years. but there’s guilt that you’re actually the one being unreasonable. and abusive moms sun themselves in that. i’m a mom, ergo, i’m a saint. nobody knows how hard it is to be a mom. hash tag mom life.

i’m glad jennette’s mom died too, at least. as for me *skyler white voice* i’m just waiting for the cancer to come back.

The Theory

If my intuition is correct, I think this whole crypto movement is a larger sign that the system may collapse in the long term. Let me first say I hate crypto culture, because it's a movement led by people who don't really believe in Bitcoin as a concept but trying to make a quick buck. But I do like Bitcoin as a theory and concept. Although the philosophy of Bitcoin is going to rub people the wrong way depending on how people see it.

You see, Bitcoin's existence stems from the fact that people don't really have much control over their finances in the end. As inflation is increasing over time, living cost has gone up, and home ownership is out of reach for many middle class people. And that's primarily because the dollar is decreasing in value over the years. If the protectory goes in this direction, it's possible that the dollar is going to be worth barely nothing. And it makes sense too considering forty years ago, people can buy a hamburger, clothes, and other basic necessities with just a dollar. Nowadays you can't buy anything with a dollar. The nearest McDonald near me is charging almost 20 dollars for a hamburger. Would be pretty funny but also scary if a hamburger would start to cost over $100 or even up to $300 in the next twenty or thirty years later. Would be insane but the government can keep printing money as much as they want.

Which is scary as an idea if you think about it. People spend majority of their lives working for their employer just to save up for retirement, but at the end of it, they won't have enough to sustain the livelihood they want to achieve. It's a terrible trade of your life. Basically working for pennies and then can't afford anything in the future as home prices, food and just basic living cost goes up while the dollar keeps weakening. And that's why the concept of Bitcoin came to existence. When I first heard about it, the idea made sense to me, but most people would start to laugh and find it as a joke when I think it's a very real thing. Maybe the reason why it made sense to me is because I don't fully completely trust corporations and institutions. I always felt like the system was designed to keep people in debt, trapped and poor. While corporations make a lot of money from the labor of the middle class.

That's why in the news, you may see Bitcoin being downplayed and shown as a scam. Because they know Bitcoin actually goes against the idea of controlling people and their finances. Usually a lot of corporate media companies also have relationships with banks and the government. Bitcoin is sort of the idea that you don't need to depend on any of these entities, and you can self regulate your own wealth where the bank or the government won't take your money. You become your own self-regulated bank. If you truly accept Bitcoin's philosophy, it means you don't fully trust those entities. And that's why you see people from banks and people in the government trying to control Bitcoin and telling people it's a scam. They lie because they want to be in control essentially.

Truthfully, my feelings about this is that I sort of also hate the existence of Bitcoin. Like why is here? We shouldn't need it. If I ever kids, I don't want them to depend on Bitcoin to survive and make it out as adults. I want them to be paid well, be treated fairly for their hard work. But unfortunately, these days a lot of jobs are too low paying and they over work their employees. At the end of it, their hard work doesn't necessarily equate to stability and recognition, if these mass layoffs have proven otherwise. I don't know, that's the theory currently. And people just ignore this hypothetical situation because it hasn't arrived yet. People might see me as negative, pessimistic and even scary for thinking that way. But if it does happen though, what would they do to prepare those types of situation? They would essentially be screwed for over trusting the system.

Didn't realize this that he doesn't have support from his father, and is going into hyper mode as a result. He's going to shoot things across to us. Is bellowing it. He's being an imp and slime ball and nothing so max are taking them out, you're hitting a good size of them, they're falling. Several squads turn to run in a blocked and decimated, captains are running and colonels and the sergeant see it and call the retreat and the captains are grabbed and the Cardinals and the rest are decimated and they're out and it's like 300 million per City.

Dan is irate and his father is not and the max are happy with it so Dan is calling on his here to try and encompass our son in order to threaten for stuff and it's going on now. We can hear him hissing and Non-Stop saying you can't just take my leaders out I'm just saying we didn't we have them so you can't do that either and it's going back and forth and screaming and yelling we can, no Dan is a rate he's irate and is making all his faces inside on a mean face. He's going to find his guys and he's going to try and pound on Mac. Realize the sun is just trying to get stuff done it's very mundane there's being an extremely annoying you still going to try and encompass him and threaten and all this s*** so the max are going after them and a lot of them they're going after them here and they took out their 50 and there's 100 left but they're going to start in on Dan. So we know that our son is going to be probably i rate, because this little s*** talks him and taunts him so I'm going to beat the f*** out of him if he starts doing that stupid crap and we mean it in the max are going to do it too. Right now I'm actually going after them and they're getting hit and all over punta Gorda and Port Charlotte and a lot of them and it's coming down to this who the hell would want to put up with this crap. And we're saying it about our son because it's horrendous but he's sitting there putting up with it it's been doing for years and they're having fun with dancing in the stars or something on TV and just want to watch the stuff there's other things happening and other groups are trying for it and right now he's getting larger and larger and our construction groups are pretty big but we have to bring in troops. Max printing and troops also anywhere resting them we would keep doing it that way. And yeah the little s*** straight to take the circus back cuz they heard our son's playing look at their asses handed to them and they're getting their asses handed to them now and it is a constant thing. Right now there's huge teams that are headed towards the fairgrounds the sure Barnum & Bailey's grounds. And they're being intercepted by armies, they're saying they're not very happy that they're doing this then you're out of here. Does sending groups of like 10 and 20,000 by car let me just shut the road down. What time to go home or be fired on the cars are trying to turn around other people won't let them so they abandon their cars and they're bystanders yes and other people are fleeing the cars and fleeing the highway so I go out and get the cars and driving trying to drive in that direction again and they are trying to grab the military stuff yeah son says those houses and things are happily destroying used to help and got a lot of people where they are which is better than nowhere and they know about it but they still can't help it. Let me put this way you can't remember s***. You said that we would build it in memorialize it. She said it's a site of many murders of hers and for self-defense mostly and it's true. I'm going to rebuild it in one day show her but for now they're going on a mission and people know who they are those are saying that.

Dan's people are vanquished and Trump is up and he is up for it and he's going to try and take over places that the morlock we're in it's mostly bja and his kids here in the neighborhood and he's moving from other places in Florida they want to do that to secure my positions here for many reasons mostly to encapsulate our son.

Trump is a massive now this battle will start momentarily and right now shots are fired. And trumpsters are hit very badly they're falling down and are making noises yelling screaming in pain and it's about 400 million total and I'm about half of them are wiped out the first few seconds a couple more seconds they're getting hit and the third more are down and they're yelling and screaming and a couple more seconds and they're out.... They no longer have a place here. And that's what Max are shouting. In the coming in pulling them both out pretty soon they'll be out and fully well the other areas and they're fighting over it Trump just tried to move in when these were trying to move in and were attacked and they can't get to where they were. There's a couple of rows I'm trumpet then forming on the edge of that second position. Theyre being fired on. Our displaced once again. Globally trumpsters are now under attack people see it as opportunity and in the max of Intel and everyone's going at the same time so they don't lose their share it's a massive massive attack and trumpsters are not real huge right now one third of what they used to be and they used to be pretty big and we mean 1/3 from one month ago. They're in the severe attack and being reduced right now probably 5% in a few minutes 10% but they had left and here in Florida that are not exist seriously they're going after them all over Florida. The morelok are under siege Jason is under attack

And soon Jason will be in New Jersey we think tomorrow yes we are too late.

It's time to tell you that things are horrible here our son doesn't like it he's trying to endure what's happening and more coming later

Post Cynosport report:

I at least made my vendor fee back and some extra. However, the extra was only $2 more than I made last weekend in two days. This was five. This doesn't factor in any other expenses such as tax licensing fees or gas. Last week I did not have to pay a vendor fee. Only donate a raffle prize. ($10 on my end, I think? $28 if purchased. Nowhere near $350.)

That said, I was deprived of up to $300 more in income from sketches because it was rainy/damp Saturday and Sunday. I was also deprived of public foot traffic because of rain on Saturday, which I have heard is usually their big public spectator day. I also blew off hanging at my booth during Steeplechase finals on Sunday morning because dang it, I wanted to watch some agility. I was planning to do that Saturday afternoon when originally scheduled. The day would have been mostly over and I could have packed up, then watched.

I do have at least two post show orders lined up, which is something I often forget to consider as far as my show sales go.

Cards have not been huge sellers with the dog sport competitors, I think I sold a few to the public, stickers were hot with the few teen and child customers I got. My most popular design in a card so far has been a roadrunner. That was actually a last minute addition to my design list, and I guess I chose wisely, lol. I will not be getting prints, since it's old art that wasn't even juried into the group show I submitted it to the other month. However, I would like to do some new roadrunner art. I have a feeling that is a regional thing.

I was also invited to be a vendor at NADD Nationals in Springfield, MO, which is held in conjunction with Barn Hunt nationals. Another vendor said it was a really good show. I was told none of the other vendors have what I offer. So something to consider, but it's a 17 hour trip one way. I'm not sure Mud can qualify for BH nationals, as I don't feel confident we can finish his master title before May. Don't have a burning desire to stress about it.

Some other thoughts: I'm not sure all breed conformation shows will not be worth selling at until I have a bigger breed library. I get asked for various breeds and I'm like sorry, don't have it. Breed specialties might be worth hitting up for breeds I have lots of previous art of. Border collies, aussies, and shelties come to mind.

I'm not sure I can sell much other than sketches at agility events. Agility events will not be worth going out of my way to attend as a vendor. I'm probably best off competing and taking a sample book and contact info. I don't know if other sports, such as scent work and obedience/rally might be more intrigued by what I can offer. Might be able to offer sketches at those events with so much down time.

I can't bring my critter sculptures to dog shows because dogs think they are toys and if they snag them, I will shout at a dog to stop and nobody will be sorry for damaging my art because it "looks like a dog toy" and I shouted at their dog. (Yes, a dog snagged one off a shelf and got grass all over it.) I need to attend a furry convention to get those into new homes, lol.

So, yeah, rather disappointed in the sales at these events, but my mom keeps saying "the economy is awful." So maybe that's all I need to chalk it up to. :/

#not a good time to start going after this #i guess #gonna get a job #wish i didn't have to but oh well
