#she lives!! #i got inspired when i saw the love of my understanding of summer #but also spring is a hard time for me so it's not quite as magical and pretty as the last one but 🥰 #rhett abbott #rhett abbott x reader #lewis pullman #i just imagine cozying up with him in the early colder spring 🥺 #my moodboards

i feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that in a lot of places, bicycling just. cannot be done for half the year, & that's why public transport being good is important. i cannot bike in 5 feet of snow & ice or in 40c heat. i can't even walk in that, unless i have the energy to snowshoe or a bucket of ice water to chug.

"but I can do it!" good for you. unfortunately i live in Berk (snowing for 9 months of the year & hailing the other 3) & cannot unless i want to die. also disabled people exist. & children. & people who live in a place where everything is no closer than 30 minutes away, & 30 minutes in -30c can kill you if you can't afford a good pair of boots & a good coat. i may have bike paths but the river floods past them every year. what do i do then? bike on the highway?? just let me take the train

#people who live in places where the weather is always nice (aka not trying to kill you 75% of the time): you are an outlier #where i live the temperatures range from -30c to +35c give or take. snow hail thunderstorms tornadoes all that shit too #''biking is so fun! even when it's raining!'' dude ima be real with you. it is ice raining. i do not want to be coated in wet ice #do you know what snowmelt is? it's where all the snow melts in the spring & then fucking floods everything #it's freezing dirty water & it kills people because people always underestimate The River #i am not riding my bike through that. it's always colder & deeper than you think & there is always a current even if you can't see it #''but it's not like it's the ocean'' dude. water aint fucking around salt or no #you may look at The River & think ''that's just a lake. seems calm & nice'' but you'd be wrong & you would die from your foolishness #this shit is connected to the Great Lakes. those fuckers are fresh water seas. i do not fuck with that #it's great you live in a place where biking all year round is feasible. but i cannot do that even if i wanted to #''but what if the weather's been nice lately'' then you'd be falling for fool's spring #where it looks like it's getting warmer & then the temperature drops & it snows a whole bunch again #& then it warms up & then it snows again. repeat until like May #we just want good public transport okay i get that exercise is good but i'd rather not risk my extremities for it thank you

i know development for CoRV is already super slow due to me being exhausted by irl stuff all the time nowadays, but my goal is to draw the entirety of act 1 before starting to post pages publically. i just wanna have a solid backlog bc i'll likely be either in school or work whenever i can get to illustrating the comic itself bhbh. not to mention i'd like to post the entire prologue and the first half of chapter 1 all at once when i begin posting, just so ppl have a lot to chew on n get interested in from day 1, u know.

#mod posts #the cattle of red valley #for context act 1 is like. 3 chapters plus prologue #im hoping that things will actually settle down n i can get into a good rythm in terms of daily life in spring #theres just a lot of stuff going on for me thats not up to me to directly handle #a lot of waiting for responses and going to places n meeting ppl #on top of just me generally having a harder time mentally during the colder seasons n small stuff piling up #havent had the energy to do much besides play skyrim n turn off my brain ya feel

Song of the Day: March 25

"Groovy Little Summer Song" by James Otto

#song of the day #it's not at all summer yet but it is spring!! #it's chilly when the wind blows and the dew-damp sticks around until noon but the sun is out and the sky is maybe not clear but close! #spring!!!! #I put my first early plantings in the garden today #I had planned for a bunch of marigolds but I got a different batch of flowers instead #so now what's down is rootings for a bunch of perennial flowers #sea holly and red-hot pokers and butterfly weed and hollyhocks #and then my little pea plants #I told Kelly I'd share pictures but for today it only looks like a square of dirt--I'll definitely share pics when my sprouts come in!! #beautiful beautiful garden times #summer of 2010 when this song came out was the first time in three-ish years I'd spent much continuous time with my family #my littlest siblings were old enough to be away from Mom for a while and still young enough to be lulled to sleep by the car #and Mom was very eager to be left home alone to sleep (and play this weird chicken bowling game she was briefly addicted to) #and so we went on a lot of long leisurely pointless car rides and we listed to a lot of #(I will never not hear this in my head) 96.9 The Kat! country music radio #and this got added to the short list of songs I sang to myself #it's so catchy!! cute fun moderately-bouncy little earworm and my voice cruises up and down it so easy #'when the days start gettin warmer / the sun starts sinkin slower / weekends go by faster / and beer starts tastin colder #wanna tune into a station / takes me on a soul vacation / hey there mister dj / come on won't you please play' #and crucially Dad did not mind this song--which could not be said for 'There Is No Arizona' by Jamie O'Neal #or (after I sang it approximately ninety million times) 'Just What I Do' by Trick Pony #we also had--this was very fun for me--we had exactly one CD we could play in the car (because it was stuck in the disk player) #and that was Joe Diffie's 'Third Rock From The Sun' #so many songs of absolute joy on that album. lucky as hell that Dad agreed because it meant we'd crank it up so loud #close my eyes and let the sun shine all red through my eyelids #sing some real dumbass enjoyable-as-all-getout songs at the top of my absolute voice #Dad laughing and singing along and the littles sleeping through the all of it like the precious babies they were #these are the songs of sunshine and pointless happiness! it's not summer but it will be! my garden doesn't have plants yet but it will! #sing a song!!

Life can be cruel but there is still so much beauty around. Afternoon sunshine at the river, for example. And I love it!

#nature #my photos #snapshots from a little walk #spring #green #©annavonihlenburg #i love love love to be able to go out #and especially if i can wander through nature #not just walk the hot asphalt of a city build for a colder climate #but i do like city life too! #no hate #love and peace on planet earth #only please change back climate change #one of the biggest problems of our time #and definitely an addition to the cruelties of life #i am going to drink tea now and it's very tasty tea i love it

I've officially gone an entire month without having a migraine! Those old lady vitamins really work wonders. It's going to be a different case in November though, since I haven't been on my computer much in October due to complications but my new computer should be here by the weekend and I have to get straight to work with...something. And all that very close screentime in likely to fuck up my vision again. 👍

#texts from the underbrush #I'm trying to spend more time outside when away from my computer especially now that it's colder outside #But once the hot spring weather comes rolling in...it's over for me #It seems winter is going to be the only season that I can really spend a lot of time outside which sucks #Because I wanted to see about lifting those big ol weights outside but in springtime I'll have to (shudders) get a gym membership #Because there is no way in hell I'm lifting weights in 80+ degree weather

[scholarhect]

ok but i SWEAR spring 50 degrees wasn’t as cold as fall 50 degrees is rn

#post tag #i swear my jackets that are not warm enough now would’ve been warm enough in the spring #is it just that every time i feel a little cold i’m thinking about how much colder i’ll feel when it’s 10 degrees colder? #idk

[lambfromfield]

currently thinking ab double life in summer. it is unbearably hot all of the time; the grass is thin and dying. the sky is cloudless and pale, and there is nothing to protect players from the heat except for a couple trees. most of those are gone by the first few days, and so soulmates must build escapes from the heat.

thinking about soulmates bringing each other water when the other’s off working, thinking about soulmates caring for their cows/sheep together bc the animals are hot, too. thinking about droughts, thinking about the necessary intimacy of not wearing excessive clothing bc it’s too hot, thinking about cuddling with your soulmate even DESPITE the heat. thinking about making a wide-brimmed hat for your soulmate, thinking about things like sunscreen and small pools of water that can bring so much minute joy to a pair.

thinking that when players go red it’s even hotter, like something boiling rests just under their skin at all times. thinking that nothing except killing is a salve to this sort of warmth. thinking thinking thinking

#im a little bit insane ok #i just think its really neat and also interesting that like so far all the diff lives have taken place in diff seasons #third life in spring. everythings alive wahoo!! yet ppl are dying . #last life in fall everythings dying and getting colder and #and... and.... the leaves.. green yellow red falling off trees... #and SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER!! its typically like such a respite #but no #its just inexplicably hot. all the time #Lol! #double life smp #double life #idk what else to tag this... so ill just leave it there #lamb likes to talk #omg just remembered #trafficblr

Chronic pain really got me going to bed before it’s even dark out (also my little pink unicorn lights Millie got me look so cool in the second pic)

#my back and shoulder are killing me and I’ve done nothing but smoke weed and stretch and I just hurt so bad #so I’m gonna go to bed and hopefully feel better tomorrow #I work at nine again tomorrow so if anything hopefully going to bed early helps that #I’m excited to sleep hopefully a lot and hopefully really well bc 1) weed. 2) took sleepy cough meds to try and mooch extra pain reliever #out of meds in my cabinet. 3) took a back and muscle pain Aleve (even tho I hate taking pills and it took me like three whole min to get it #down my fucking throat. 4) tired from actually using my brain and anxiety from work tired #5) period tired and chronic pain tired #like guys my brain and my body are both exhausted and the idea of getting up tomorrow and doing any of it again makes me miserable and I did #nothing but sit at a computer for three and a half hours that’s itttttt #like doing two week road-trip then non stop either emotional or physical shit every day until my first day at work #like I’m already setting myself up for this to be the summer of the grind #gonna make a bunch of money (and spend too much and blame it on the summer time and needing a little treat every time I venture out into the #heat or work a day or do anything at all) and then save a bunch all fall winter spring and once it gets colder and I feel like I can handle #my job more I want to focus on how to make moving out happen. like I need to figure out if maybe there’s somewhere I want to live that has #an Office Depot I could transfer to cause office depots are everywhere and maybe that’s an added way for me to figure out where I want to #move #hmmm okay I’m gonna lay in bed on google maps looking at Office Depot locations in New England and I’m just gonna daydream and try to fall #asleep and I’ll look at / add to my Pinterest board of house and apartment inspo #going to think about the future because I want to live !!!! #anyways yeah this is the summer of being miserable and spending all my money on bullshit and daydreaming and disappointing my mother #and also the summer of my weed tolerance doubling forever until I’m back to smoking constantly to the point where I’m making myself sick and #then I’ll get sick of smoking weed for a bit and that’ll lead me into saving money again #or force me into a tolerance break where I stop buying weed #either way I’m going to smoke all summer it’s gonna be weed and sweat and fresh fruit and laying in my room during all of my days off and it #it’s gonna suck and I’m gonna be thinking about my dad the whole time and it’ll be depressing and isolating and lonely and I’ll come out of #the summer recentered and motivated towards big goals again like I always am #and then I’ll crash and burn next spring as always. cycles continue forever thank u seasonal depression. #I want to grow up and mature in the ways I deal with myself my health and advocating for my mental health I feel like I need to grow up a #bit so I hope I do that and it feels good. I hope I make friends and I can daydream about the future every night and my room will smell like #weed and incense and sweat and love and tears and it will be incredible

in other news, my puppy saw snow for the first time today and got super excited and starting digging into it

#cotton chats 🎀 #he was born in spring so he never saw the colder seasons before #better compared to how he saw autumn for the first time #he kept trying to eat the leaves lol

[horrible-oracle]

hhhhhhhh i just need to kinda rant or vent ignore this

#uhhhh i just feel sorta annoying to my friends rn or one of them at least #shes in away on spring break rn but i keep texting her when i wanna talk abt smth from my life or whatever #like im generally very relient and used to telling some ppl a lot abt myself and whats happenjng and what im up to and i think sometimes im #being too extra abt it and its probably not very healthy and also i dont really like that said friend much... but we got closer recently #before i found out things abt her that kinda make me wanna distance myself from her but i dont really have anyone else to talk to #like i just constantly or quite often feel the need or urge to share stuff abt my daily life... but should i actually do that #that puts me in a weird position #i feel like that friend has been colder in her replies lately #and theres this one thing that i want to talk abt with someone and get some idk emotional support and encouragement... #but im not sure if im too annoying #and if im being tmi all the time #im so weird i have almost zero social experience and understanding of cues i had no irl friends for a very long time and i was so so #isated and now i have a few friends but somtimes its not enough .... and i feel so weird idk #im probably overthinking #idk #evgesha's thoughts

[dollfairy]

I think it'll be years before I know whether I actually suffer from seasonal depression or if it's just that fall/winter have just always coincided with me having extra responsibilities on my plate and feeling so overwhelmed that I spiral and then retreat into myself

#personal #i'll probably only know once i finish school for good in a couple years #like do i get anxious and depressed bc days are shorter and its colder or am i just suddenly balancing work and school w little free time? #and do i feel better and have more energy in the spring bc of greenery and more sun or is it just that class ends in april #and then i have the whole summer where theres fun activities and actual time to do them

[antique-symbolism]

Re: music asks?

#34. I KNOW how important seasonal tidings are to both of us

34. pick one of your favorite bands/artists and choose a song by them that you associate with each season

This has by far been the most fun question of the music asks, I'll go with Lady Lamb!! She uses a lot of nature metaphors, so the challenge is pretty apt, and she's probably my all-time favourite artist.

Also as I compiled this it hit me that these four songs could be read as a narrative of one relationship from its beginning to its end over the course of a year. They're obviously not intended this way because they're from all different albums, but it works!

Spring: Crane Your Neck

"I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met / And I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket [...] But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones / There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones"

Summer: Crater Lake

"Let's be one another's present tense / We'll go to the mountain by the lake, we'll undress / We'll swim and we'll swim until the sun settles to sleep / We'll build us a fire of a flame so deep"

Fall: Vena Cava

"And in your arms, I sleep so deeply / But I can feel how you will leave me / Even as you are still sitting here / Even as your mug of coffee steams / I can feel how the seams of your ribs will separate from the seams of my ribs / I know already how much TV will fail to comfort me in your absence"

Winter: Bird Balloons

"It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin / To fly south, south until the springtime / Your hips stood out like confidence / You were naked as a newborn in the snow, and you wanted it so / That's precisely how you wanted it"

#the way lady lamb sings about love........ #it just gets me every time every song #I know crater lake and bird balloons are the only songs on here that seem to indicate seasons #but crane your neck reminds me of spring because it's about a new relationship that's building and growing #it's about missing someone but with the sense that you'll be with them soon #which reminds me of spring rebirth and anticipation etc #and by the same token vena cava is about a relationship that you know is coming to its close #but isn't quite ended #the way that you would watch the leaves fall and the light diminish and the weather get colder and know the season is changing #I am begging everybody to listen to lady lamb - I have never in my life heard anybody sing about love the way she does #it just runs the entire spectrum of visceral human emotion #lady lamb

Can they invent a warm day in April like.?? I’ve been putting all the spring related posts in my queue so that they’ll be true by the time they post on my blog but then 3 weeks later I’ll see it again as I’m shivering in my coat hat n gloves

#manifesting that it gets up to 60 on my bday when I’ll be outside a lot that is all I am asking #every time I check the forecast for my bday it’s colder than last time I checked #begging for even like an hour of medium temperatures a day Blease it’s supposed to be SPRING!! #I rly feel like it gets colder every year too like #ppl keep saying it’s getting hotter and I know that’s true globally but. I used to be able to stop wearing hoodies in like late march #now I gotta bundle up like it’s winter until like May #could be a my body thing but I SWEAR it’s getting colder both inside n out #doesnt help that my commute is literally Flooded like thank god it’s not snow and ik April showers and whatever but come on #mine #txt

[themysciraprincess]

#vasilisa speak #i used to wish i was born during a colder time #but now? i'm glad. spring's beautiful

"It's okay to find the faith to saunter forward, with no fear of shadows spreading where you stand. And you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you, and the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land."

#Fall weather is here and my energy is gonnnnne lol #Idk why I always get so excited for September and the colder months. It's like I forget😭 #Like hun. U r Mentally Ill™ this is not a good time for you lmao. #Looking forward to spring I guess lol #Anywho #lemons listenings #Spotify
