I'm not giving up on this jade plant! It got infested and it lost almost all its leaves. I was able to get rid of the mites and it's growing back! It's still in semi-quarantine just in case but I have lots of hope for it.

Watching people freak out over the Percy Jackson tv show and talk about what they liked/didn't like and what the writers kept and left out of the show is really giving me perspective on what a rabid and insane Wingfeather Saga fan I am because they sound like me whenever I start talking about it. All of them. The good, the bad and the ugly, I am all of these reactions and more. I am insane, totally obsessed, hyperfixated, and overly paranoid. Possibly deranged.
On the other hand, listening to all these people rant and rave (in good and bad ways) about the show is making me feel much more normal about my Wingfeather obsession. xD

Review: Jade Torch: The Killing Thought, by Anne Marie Wells, otherwise known as @dragonanne!
Tumblr media
First of all, let me just praise Miss Wells' artstyle. It's beautiful, and captures the reader's attention, instantly giving them a greater scope of the characters and their world.
As for the story, Jade Torch presents itself as a medieval fantasy world, and as a huge dragon nerd and admirer of the High Middle Ages, I can tell you that The Killing Thought does not disappoint in it's setting! You have dragons and their riders protecting their large kingdom, a neighboring monarchy with a tainted history, a bloodthirsty nation in the north, and unknown islands far away from the continent, all of which take place while the author plants the seeds for a deeper, magic-filled history that feels organic and richer than the Lonely Mountain of Erebor (Tolkien fans, I apologize for any misspells/offense.)
The plot is superbly written, with the unsavory medieval politics and conniving aristocrats presented within the world in such a way that it instantly feels like cracking open a door to look into the distant past of Western Europe. The characters have various personalities that don't overlap with each other, with the possible exception of two (and given that both these characters took on paternal roles to young future rulers, it's a given that they'd have similar approaches to life. Not to worry, they still retain their unique individuality!) They are also all written competently: the men are allowed to be manly defenders/protectors/rulers, and the women are allowed to kick butt without dragging down their male counterparts, something that greatly pleased me.
The heroes are heroes and the villains are villains, an old style of writing I have dearly missed in modern media. Furthermore, there is only one - ONE - character death on the heroes' side, and while it did break my heart, I instantly realized it was a necessary decision and felt that it was not out of place. And while said character's murderer was not killed, another, equally despicable villain was permanently dispatched, something that literally had me cheering in my seat as I read, so enraptured was I by the story unfolding in my hands. I tell you, that is an uncommon occurrence in my reading experience!
And the ending presents a perfect opening for a second installment, with it's ominous atmosphere and the fragile peace left in the plot's wake gripping the reader's attention with a degree of fear for the heroes. I must say, I simply itch to see what happens next, and the path that awaits the protagonists!
I would be remiss, however, if I did not voice one, albeit small, complaint. The naming conventions in the story, while enjoyable, were a bit odd when it came to a select few others. For example, you have the crown princess, whose name is Lunerata Bridth, and yet her father's given name is Kent. There is only one other "ordinary" name such as Kent in the novel, and while it did not take away my love of the story, it did strike me as odd quite a few times. Regardless, I still reveled in reading the book, and happily give it eleven out of ten stars.
Now enough of my rambling! I gave a simple, relatively spoiler free review of this novel. Now, I task all who read through this post: go out and buy a copy of Jade Torch: The Killing Thought. It's a fun read, and will captivate your mind and imagination for a long time!
Fly high, my fellow readers and dragon riders!

"All fantasy authors have to start somewhere. The best debut fantasy books ever written are a testament to what that starting line can look like. In fantasy, the delicate dance between worldbuilding, character, and craft is always difficult. Somehow, these authors got it just right with the first books they had published."

Hi plantblr
I’m trying to start taking care of two new plants:
Tumblr media
This is Hobbit. This leaf fell off a full grown jade plant at my workplace and I’m trying to cultivate them.
Tumblr media
And this is Tippy. In case it isn’t obvious, Tippy was (and still is) in bad shape at my local Walmart. I took them home and trimmed off the dead heads.
I’ve done what I can to give them sufficient soil, water, and the best sunspot on my window. Is there anything else I can do to nurse Tippy back to good health? I’m still a novice at this so I’m unsure of any precise action to be taken other than having patience.

^ each of these are about 3 weeks apart, some changes are quite noticeable

this, however, is just a week difference. echeveria Perle von nürnberg is quite light hungry and apparently quite dramatic given how quickly the rosette closed up!

Botanical Name: Crassula Ovata 'Gollum'

I got a cutting of this guy from my mother-in-law. Once I found out his name, I clearly had to just call this guy Gollum from LOTR.

We Found Hobbits in Our Yard
We Found Hobbits in Our Yard
Yes, we found hobbits in our yard, when we weren’t even looking. True, I have a sign on our property welcoming “all true Narnians,” but true fans of the Oxford Inklings will recognize that hobbits are actually residents of Middle Earth. I suppose, though, that doesn’t mean that Middle Earth’s hobbits, elves, and Ents can’t be Narnians at heart. As for dwarves and humans, they already reside in…

Hobbit Jade vs Gollum Jade: A Comparison
Hobbit Jade vs Gollum Jade: A Comparison
You may have seen Jade plants already. After all, these unique-looking succulents are popular choices among many homeowners. And there are good reasons for this. Besides the attractive aesthetics, these plants are easy to grow and relatively fuss-free. So, they are perfect even for beginner gardeners or people who don’t have much time to dedicate to their plants.  But did you know there are…

I have had one (1) Meriadoc Brandybuck on my brain since finishing the lotr trilogy weeks ago.
Merry, who was always watching after his fellow hobbits and who embodied the comfort of home for soldiers who were jaded and scared to death as they rode across the country to a near-hopeless battle
Merry, who was told time and again to stay back, go home, leave the horrors of war to the big people, but who stubbornly went forth into danger not because he felt up to the challenge or believed he was cornered into the choice, but because he knew he couldn’t live with himself if he let his friends go to their deaths or glories without him
Merry, who stabbed the witch king of Angmar to save Eowyn even as he was near-paralyzed with fear and despair
Merry, who came back to the Shire and took the lead in the removal of Saruman’s men but still listened to Frodo’s counsel and was never unnecessarily cruel or violent, only protective of his people
His character arc is just so good and I don’t understand how anyone could read these books and not love him to absolute pieces.
