#I'LL RB IN A MINUTE WITH THE SOURCE | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

hi <3 i've been scrolling through your blog for the past couple of minutes after seeing a rb of The Sign that got so popular. i'm from northern FL and ik it's not really appalachia, but so many of the people around me growing up came from there, and the pictures you upload here really resonated with me.

i plan on leaving this place as soon as i can when i'm a bit older. my heart aches thinking about all the wildlife i'll leave behind, the frogs singing on muggy nights, the alligators floating in the retention pond out back, the lizards skittering away as you pass them by.

i'm really gonna miss my family. they're so sweet until they're not. i want to spend time with them, but they just keep bringing up whatever hateful nonsense our governor comes up with that week. i wanna learn to bake with my Nanna, and learn to fix a car with my Pops, not try to convince them that queer people aren't the source of all evil, you know?

you painted a really nostalgic picture for me there. florida is seriously gorgeous, right? the weather, the flora and fauna. you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else that diverse. lizards used to run all up and down our screen porch lol

having spent a year in south central florida when i was 13 (i moved nearly every year and a half growing up, can you tell?), i never really considered it to be "the south" culturally speaking, in spite of it's geographical placement.

but sociopolitically, my opinion is kinda changing. the way the governor is giving every southern bigot an incredibly loud run for their money… i feel for people who live there now. southern hatred and fear is creeping below the state line, and it isn't fair to feel like you have to be driven out of your home because of it, no matter where you are.

it's hard to leave behind family that refuses to grow with you into territory more loving and bright. unfortunately, i've distanced myself from a huge section of my own for similar reasons. i'm sorry you're considering moving.

if you do plan to move, i hope you can find peace and safety somewhere that is equally as beautiful, whatever that means for you

Hey there, the sick cat post (diced-and-sliced) is a scam. This person has been remaking their blog with a different spin on the same “sick pet” story numerous times and the current one is less than a day old.

Scammer’s blogs usually:

- Are very young (you can scroll to the bottom within a few minutes; on PC you can go to their Archive to easily see a summary of all posts they’ve made)

- Reblog most posts from the source/op (they just go through common tags and don’t genuinely follow anyone)

- Will request that users answer their asks privately (hiding their tracks)

- Request that PayPal payments go through Friends & Family (bypasses most of PP’s anti-scam protocols)

- Will find and follow you out of nowhere

Thank you!!! I figured it was, so I didn't send any money but I also know how it feels to have a sick cat and not know how to pay so I did want to rb just in case. I'll delete it though. Thank you!!!

3 : how connected do you feel to your source?

Hmmm, I'd say semi connected?? Idk I can't really elaborate that well without anyone reading the fic but I'll try to... Uhm the basics r still there like at first hating how the plantars treated me but then kinda warming up to it n stuff and starting to act more like a lil doggie after the accident (like I said you'll understand if u read the fic but the accident was like I was stung by wasp like creatures (hybeenas hyena+ bees) and apparently their venom or whatever is in them when they sting u would usually kill a frog pretty much instantly aka within the minute and it's like REALLY PAINFUL but like the few who did survive had serious mental instability or something like that cuz they try to find ways to stop the pain. They hurt themselves or others and personalities can like completely change.) And all that stuff but I'm also like NOT connected to some stuff yknow how it is -w-

4 : do you have any exomemories? what’s your favourite one?

This is more of a case of “is this actually an exomemory or did I just really want this to be true that my brain made me believe it's true?” but I think my fave was when I asked Maddie ( as in I wrote and she read ) if there was some sort of potion that allows you to take any form you want and she said yes so as soon as it was done I downed that potion and turned firstly into what I show myself as most of the time but I could also like transform fully into a dog or back to human :33 ... I wish I could do that again

7 : have you ever met any sourcemates outside your system?

Oh frog no I don't even think more than 10 people here on Tumblr know about the fic I'm from lmao X3

8 : have you ever posted/sent a sourcecall anywhere? did it help you find sourcemates?

Hhahano I doubt there are any souremates on this app + I am WAY to socially awkward to be able to have the guts to post such a thing and lastly I'm not really interested in sourcemates, besides the plantars, Sasha and Marcy, Maddie and maybe a few other frogs, I have too much trauma with too many characters lmao

besides, I already have sprig, so I'm happy :33

9 : what do you think are your biggest differences from/similarities to your source?

Dog features, how fast I actually accepted the plantars and all that, in source it takes me seemingly way longer to finally accept that I'm their family pet while I think I accepted that role in (and I'm doing this really roughly I literally didn't have a way to tell the time and how many days were passing) a little over a month!

We're still very similar in how much we love the plantars they r my everything !! <33 /familial

I can't really think of anything else rn :P

I'll probably rb something else again 4 u to send so yeah be on the lookout!!

How to change your hair color at home by yourself, by a hairstylist who wants you to stop destroying your hair.

Source: I'm a hairstylist AND an at home impulse hair dye enthusiast. As a side note it's really called "color" and not dye, but I'll use dye here for clarity.

This is really long and detailed!

Step one, go to Sally's. Find the "ion color brilliance" brand because it smells the best and is impossibly easy to use.

Look at the numbers on the labels, which show the tone of the dye. 1 is black. 8 is blonde. 13 is, theoretically, white. Most hair dye comes in a range from 1 to 8. There are usually letters next to the numbers for the shade: N for neutral, W for warm reddish shades, A for ash, which is cool blueish shades. V is for violet - be careful with these, they're deceptively super purple. Sometimes they use other silly letters like RB for red brown. If you look closely on the box it should say the color.

Now find your own hair tone. Remember, 1 is black, 8 is blonde. 4 is medium brown. Tone is only on the scale from black to white, so you're basically finding the lightness or darkness of your hair. Once you have that number, compare it to the number on the dye you want. If you're going darker, use a demi (demi-permament). If you're going lighter, use a permanent.

PLEASE BE AWARE that the little swatches of hair that show the color are dyed on WHITE or very very light blonde hair. Keep this in mind; it'll almost certainly look way darker on your hair.

If your hair is longer than shoulder length, get 2 boxes. You can mix colors of the same color line (keep demis with demis, permanent with permanent). If it's shorter than shoulder length get 1 box.

If you already have dye on your hair, a dye won't make it lighter. You would have to bleach it. Do NOT!!!!!! do this at home. I know it's tempting. I've seen some pretty awfully burned scalps, and it can even make you go blind. Not to mention, your hair will fall out in clumps if you leave it on a tiny bit too long.

Now find the ion color brilliance developers. They're in purple and white bottles. Find the tiny ones (4 fl oz).

If you're going WAY lighter get 40 volume (I really don't recommend this). If you're going a little lighter, get 30. If you're going a little darker, use 20. If you're going to black, get 10.

If you don't have a plastic bowl at home that you don't mind staining, get a little color bowl and a brush. The bowl will have a little handle on it and the brush will look like a big paint brush.

Now check out! You have your box of dye, your developer, and a bowl and brush.

When you're ready to color, wait about 24 hours from your last shampoo. Try not to put a ton of oils or products in your hair after you shampoo it. This will help the dye get under the cuticle of the hair, which is where you want it.

Now we are going to just chuck those directions right in the trash because they're more complicated than they have to be. Here's how I do it (it's never let me down in over a decade of dying my hair):

Mix the dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio. The tubes are 2oz, so one tube goes with half the bottle, 2 tubes goes with the whole bottle. It doesn't have to be exact. You can just dump everything in the bowl and mix it with the brush. Try not to get it on the counter/table; it's white or tan now but it'll oxidize to the color of the dye within minutes. It's hard to get out too.

Put some Vaseline, chapstick, cocoa butter, or actual "barrier cream" on your forehead and ears if you care about getting stains. I don't do this and the stains are only there for 2 showers. I also don't use gloves for the same reason but you can.

With a bowl of mixed dye and 24 hour hair, get naked or into a shirt you don't mind getting dirty. Sit down in your bath tub. "But but I can be neat!" No you can't. Get in the tub. I promise you will splatter it at least a little.

Now use the brush to paint the dye into your part, and your hairline. Then get the hair right above and behind your ear.

If you already have dye in your hair, and it's a little grown out, keep in mind that your roots are "virgin" hair and will take the color way brighter. I usually just ignore that and it evens out after a few showers, but you can offset the "fire roots" by putting the dye on your roots only for 5 minutes. Just massage it into your scalp without getting it on the ends and wait 5 minutes.

Now for the rest of it: grab globs of the dye with your hands and start working it into your hair. You can do this however you want, just use all of the color and make sure every piece of hair is thoroughly saturated. I usually squish it into the mid-shaft to the ends of my hair, then I work the rest of it in just like shampoo. Keep going until all of your hair is covered. Use what's left to really get your hairline again.

Wash your hands right away, and as soon as they're dry set a timer. 40 minutes is the max, but if you want a more subtle result you can do 30. I do 40 though. Twist any hanging hair into a bun and use the dye to "stick" it in place. If it's long or won't stay, use a black scrunchie or one of those claw clips.

When the timer goes off, rinse for at least 5 minutes under pretty warm to hot water. As hot as you can comfortably use. When I say at least five minutes I mean it - it takes a while to get it all out. Then shampoo twice, condition, rinse in COLD water, finish your shower, and enjoy!

A few last notes, this is NOT the "proper" way to do it. This is a pretty-good way to do it that you can do on a whim in your bathroom with no help and about $30. This is how I do it myself, and how all the other hairstylists I know do it. Also, this works on all hair types and most colors. If your hair is super light, the change will be drastic, so stay closer to your natural color if you don't want that. If your hair is jet black, the change will be more subtle - permanent color can take you from a 1 (black) to about a 5. An 8 is blonde, so you can do a lot with a level 5.

Please feel free to ask any questions, and happy therapy-dyeing!
