i will ALWAYS be salty abt the ed-sheeranification of one ok rock (one of my fave personality-building anecdotes i explain at parties to ppl getting to know me) but the fact is that takas voice is soooo hot he could sing the words on the back of a milk carton to the tune of a t*ylor sw*ft song + id probably still listen to him. sorry

#well actually that isnt true bc i very rarely ever listen to oor anymore. theyve made so much terrible music its tainted their good shit #but like twice a year i go back thru their discography and reminisce over niche syndrome.....a guy can dream #whenever they release new stuff i always get my hopes up theyre gonna go back to their roots and they never do. saaad #but i have this weird grandmotherly love for taka whenever i see him in music videos for his new stuff im like aww how Nice :^) #wish he hadnt outgrown his emo phase but thats ok im glad hes enjoying himself and the band seems to be popular still #.diaries #i do have a big old soft spot for ambitions era even if its kinda mid. its associated w a lot of nice memories i have of my ex #if nothing else i appreciate how earnest their music was around then.... god listening now and i still know All The Lyrics lmfao #still mad they replaced the japanese vers with an english rerecord for release outside of japan tho. that was unnecessary 😐 #maaann my ex had VERY different music taste to me but its sweet how many bands are rose tinted for me bc of them #like theres some stuff i would never have voluntarily listened to. but listening to them talk excitedly carved a niche in my ears #they made me a bunch of playlists for things they found that they thought id like.. i still have some of them saved/backed up #im surprised some of the ogs still exist tbh bc they unfollowed me on spotify + privated/deleted a ton of shit like a year ago #but a couple r still standing.. idk id like to think maybe they left them bc they had some nice memories too. i could never hate them man #SORRY FOR TALKING ABT MY EX AGAIN this music just takes me right back. im v glad we're not dating or in each others lives anymore #but also u cant be that close w someone for that long without them having a lifelong impact on u. or at least i cant anyway #and its nice to remember them fondly sometimes even if we were both cunts to each other. hope theyre doing alright wherever they are #god i need to start dating again its so fun i miss it so much. once im settled in the new place + i have a secure job.... #i mean ik who id LIKE to date but im pretty sure that aint happening lmaooo. ill get over it i love meeting new ppl anyway #okay enough rambling im gonna go make lunch if ur reading this far ily hope ur having a nice day XOXO aaaaand post

hotwings au where hawks is a vampire, dabi is a human, and they meet through the vampire equivalent of doordash.

dabi shows up at his door, scruffy and woozy (guy who's been doing this as a full time job and is not coping with the blood loss very well)

hawks is (rightfully) concerned and is ready to cancel his order but dabi immediately disagrees because "that'll fuck up my ratings sooo bad dude don't be an asshole"

hawks: "???"

dabi: "i really need this job man"

hawks kinda shrugs and asks if dabi's up to anything for the next few hours and dabi doesn't have anything going on so hawks invites him in and immediately sits this guy down on his couch to feed him and let him rest for at least four hours so he's not indirectly accused of manslaughter

one must imagine the disposition of an alley cat encountering canned food for the first time: internal battle of mistrust versus yummy treats

dabi goes down kicking and screaming

(the day he goes over to hawks' place it's raining so hard you can barely see and all dabi has is a cheap plastic poncho. hawks' place has heating—he very 'reluctantly' curls up on the couch)

hawks is probably the worst cook on earth but when he tells dabi this, he refuses to let hawks order food for him; dabi would literally rather die than subject another minimum wage worker to the storm outside just to come to this rich asshole's home

which ends up with dabi in hawks' kitchen, making himself a meal

(which, he probably wouldn't usually do this, but the blood loss is kind of getting to him. dabi's decision making has slowly trickled down to the average level it is when he gets drunk)

when he's fed and warm and hawks has forced him to watch two animated movies dabi could not give less of a shit about he finally turns to dabi like

"ok i know we're having a great time but also i really need to eat something. like. you. preferably."

dabi shrugs and offers up his arm, getting progressively more sleepy while hawks finishes his meal before falling asleep pressed against hawks' side

wakes up the next morning with a blanket pulled over him, cheek pressed to a throw pillow with a littleee bit of drool staining the fabric under him

sits up and looks around, armed only with blurry memories of the night before

("did i... sleep with this guy...!?!??!?")

finds a note on the table and unfolds it, trying to figure out what the hell is going on

(lovedddd hanging w u yesterday :P off at work feel free 2 make urself breakfast before u go. U should know where everything is. tip on the counter 4 u. xoxo hawks)

dabi, slightly mortified at the implication he rooted around in this guy's kitchen when he was out of it yesterday finds the tip

it's literally, like, $500 dollars

dabi scribbles down his phone number and sticks it on the fridge with a magnet

(half because he really needed that money and is pleasantly surprised that he got rent money a week earlier than he was expecting)

(half because he might not remember yesterday entirely, but he remembers feeling safe and warm and being addicted to that rare sensation)

hawks is very happy when he gets home, even if dabi isn't there, when he finds his little gift on the fridge

#idk have just had this idea floating around in my head a while! #lets just say this an au without the whole world ending everything about mha #i think dabi would be renting out a room in a shared apartment w the other league of villains guys #theyre nosy as fuck. he does the walk of shame back home and toga + twice jump him for details immediately #toga would also be a vampire btw #idgaf if this is ooc take your sensitive ass back to tumblr dashboard!!! this is moonsvillain yaoi page bitch!!!!!!!!! #dabi #hawks #mha #bnha #my hero academia #boku no hero academia #hotwings #dabihawks #tamaki keigo #todoroki touya #vampire #vampire au #alternate universe #mha fanfiction #mha imagines #dabi x hawks #bnha fanfiction #bnha imagines

writing injuries: 101

hi goblins and ghouls let me teach you how to write that silly little stab would you decided to give your silly little guy so that you could rip out the hearts of your reader, even more.

Hopefully you have gathered from the title that this will be discussing WOUNDS! BLOOD! GORE! OTHER NASTYS! If you disagree with my advice, MORE THAN OKAY! I'd love to hear yours and we can exchange tips! Lets get into it.

Types of Injuries

To write a realistic injury you NEED to know three things: A) What type of boo-boo B) What caused said boo-boo C) Where is the boo-boo D) Who will kiss boo-boo better (optional) edit: according to my friend D is not optional, so. find someone to kiss it better

Common types of injuries

I am by NO MEANS a professional so... take with a grain of salt. There are so many resources out there if you need to get specific but here's some simple shit xoxo:

Abrasion: Remember when you fell on the street as a skin and scrapped the shit out of your knee? Yeah. That. Its broken skin caused by friction against rough surfaces: requires IMMEDIATE cleaning.

Animal Chomps (bites): These can and will cause an infection if you don't treat it. Your 5'3 teenage girl CANNOT brush off that wolf bite apocalypse writers. Get her to the closest med tent.

Avulsion: A injury's caused when a body part is ripped away either partially or fully (HELLO SAW MOVIES). Results in some severe trauma (physically and mentally if they live) Typically caused by gunshot wounds, explosion's, car crashes etc.)

Bruise: Muscle fibers, blood vessels, and connective tissues are damaged with these bad boys. They cause that bluish purply look. Bruises do change colour to a yellow-green the older they are so do your research!

Burn: There are three degrees and a whole lot of different types for this mf and I can do a separate post on burns if you all want, but in general it is damage to the skin caused by heat, chemicals, radiation or sunlight (we all are too familiar with that last one). As some of know it can result in Swelling, Blistering, and scaring. Now if you gave your creature a really bad burn then it can cause shock, death and the destruction of the skin! And it leaves your victim of choice vulnerable to infection! Yay!!!

Fracture: a break in the bone, it literally looks fractured. It causes pain swelling, numbness and possibly deformity. You will likely need to send your character to the doctor.

Laceration: A cut, slice, tear in the skin, these are not stab wounds this is like if you accidentally cut yourself on glass or if someone swung at you with a knife and it sliced you, but it didn't go into your body and stay there. You get the idea.

Puncture wounds: THIS. THESE ARE YOUR STABS. Penetration to the skin caused by any sort of (usually sharp) object. These are the wounds your serial killer might use in the final moments of the kill with his knife, or the final blow to your hero's enemy with his sword.

Sprain: Ligaments (the things you see in x-rays that hold the bones together) that have been stretched or torn which happens when the joins move into unnatural positions. Usually, this results in stiffness, discoloration and swelling.

Strain: NOTE, Sprain and Strain ARE different. This is what happens when a muscle or tendon (not a ligament) is pulled, twisted or torn. Typically caused by over-stretching/contracting. Usually results in pain, muscle spams, and weakness.

Please note, that like I mentioned with burns there are degrees of severity for ALL OF THESE so please do your research this is just a starting point.

Care & Aftermath

LOTS of writers forget this part and its so sad. You want cute scenes between to characters who aren't yet dating but your rooting for? ONE OF THEM JUST GOT HURT AND THE OTHER IS TENDING TO IT. BAM INSTANT CUTE SCENE. Do not forget about your aftermath and medical care. Most injuries if left untreated WILL WORSEN if you leave them alone so FIX UP YOUR GUYS.

Do your research!! Look up the kind of injury your character sustained, the severity of it and you'll find recovery time and the kind of treatment they'll need.

In my experience, the more you focus on the aftermath of wounds, the more realistic it seems even if your dashing hero just got his arm ripped off by a dragon.

Writing the injury

You do not, now listen closely. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE A MEDICALLY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE WOUND. You're probably writing fiction and not a med student essay. If you are... email your professor I cannot help you here.

Just focus on getting the basics down. What's the bleeding? How bad is the swelling? What's the pain level at? and just leave the rest to the imagination. Unless your character is a doctor or whatever, your little dudes will also not know exactly what an Avulsion is. You can just say that there's a gaping hole or something. They'll be far to focused on the pain or whatever is causing it to diagnose themselves then and there.

Realism

I pinky promise you that as long as you have the basics, your readers will pick up what your laying down. The characters reaction is the most important part. How are they feeling emotionally? Are they having a physical reaction to the pain (Limping, shaking)? Do they have any physical response to the sight of their own/others blood? Do they experience shock? What's their attitude after it all?

These are the questions you should ask yourself. A war-hardened soilder will react differently to a gunshot wound than someone fresh out of high school.

Thanks :] go make the masses suffer :]]

Snippet - Old Bonds - Forward, but Never Forget/XOXO

Vi remembers a different time...

Forward, but Never Forget/XOXO

Snippet:

"Flex your fingers," Sevika orders. Vi curls her hands into fists. "Good. Gloves on."

The gloves are ten-ouncers. Well-worn, but good quality. Vi butts her fists together, and frowns. "These fit me."

"You thought they wouldn't?" Sevika says. "I remember your size."

It's wrong to feel the sick tremor of nostalgia. But Vi does. The first time she'd sparred with Sevika was during the Equinox Bazaar, after all. She remembers because they'd gone afterwards to the market for Vekauran-style lentil stew with mango pickles.

Sevika explained that an old boyfriend from the Pump Station used to like it that way. Vi figured he must be dead, because Sevika's eyes would hold a gloss nearly like sadness whenever she mentioned him. Other times, her lip would unconsciously curl into a sexy little smile.  Whoever the guy was, he'd apparently eaten pussy like a pro, given the details Sevika would drop sometimes about his technique, details Vi could barely take in over her own flushed waves of embarrassment.

Even then, she'd been a little bit jealous, a lot aroused, and a whole lot confused.

Afterward, Sevika had stripped off her heavy-duty gloves to show Vi the calluses on her hands: six Hex-sized patches so tough they put pressure on the nerves.

"Rather have real Hexes in my hands," Sevika had griped.

Sometimes, she'd give Vi tips on dirty footwork and sneak-jabs. Vi was a firecracker of raw potential, but Sevika had a decade of experience at laying the nastiest opponents flat with a well-timed blow. She'd show Vi how to deliver a sidewinder by turning her hips the barest fraction. How to move her hands and feet in unison, like a pair of dancers. How to talk trash and stay patient until it was time to go for the knockout.

"You need to get that temper under control," Sevika had warned her once, after a particularly punishing match. "It's gonna get you killed."

Vi scoffed. "Temper's my specialty."

"It'll be the end of you."

"Well, it hasn't been."

"Yet." Sevika shrugged, wiping her brow with a towel. "Then again, I'm not the one you're always trying to impress."

Vi's eyes snapped to hers. The words had a bite, but Sevika's look was knowing.

Vi dropped her gaze.

She'd never told Sevika about her need to prove herself to Vander. Prove that her parents hadn't died for nothing. Prove that she could be strong enough, brave enough, to keep the Lanes safe.

Prove that she could protect Powder.

Now, looking at the familiar glide of Sevika's fingers, her easy competence with the laces, Vi finds the same emotions bubbling up. Dread that she'd never live up to Vander's legacy. The gut-deep longing to prove her worth. Prove she was a force nobody would mess with, because that was the only way to keep everyone safe.

Sevika had that in common with Vi. They'd both lost their families. Both found meaning only in their fists.

But Sevika wanted more than strength. Her bottom line was rooted in one principle: brute will. Her gang always ran the loosest, fastest, riskiest jobs in the Lanes. They played dirty, had little qualms with cutting corners, and none with breaking necks.

Sevika was a hardheaded bitch. If the Undercity was a battlefield, she was always gunning for top-dog. 

Vi remembers one night at the Drop. A fight had broken out over a poker game. The Sledgerunners had been caught cheating. The Dead Enders had taken offense. Violating the Drop’s rules of neutral territory, they’d savaged each other like dogs.

By the time Vi and Sevika arrived, the Sledgerunner's leader, a beefy bastard named Chud, had pulled a blade. His victim lay on floorboards gone glittering-red with broken glass and blood. Mylo and Claggor had helped Vi make a tourniquet out of old belts while Powder ran to fetch a medick. Sevika had flattened Chud with three precise blows and held the rest of his gang at knifepoint until Vander returned.

Sevika proposed taking an ear from both the Sledgerunners and Dead Enders as compensation for the broken peace. Vi suggested letting them off with a warning. Vander had listened patiently to both. Afterward, he'd sent both the Sledgerunners and the Dead Enders back to their territories.

Then he'd taken Vi and Sevika aside and made his thoughts plain.

"We're not judges, and this isn't the gallows," he'd told them. "We're here to keep the Lanes stable. Not make a name for ourselves."

Sevika had looked pissed. "So you'll let them disrespect your turf?"

Vander's eyes had grown dark. "It's not my turf. It's everyone's. I'm here to help keep the peace, not enforce a regime."

Vi's own frustration had bubbled over. "What's the difference?"

"The difference is whether you wanna be a part of the solution. Or the problem. Because that's what it comes down to." Vander sighed. "Sevika, I'm grateful you stepped in. But the Drop's not a chopping block. You don't get to decide who leaves with what body parts."

"Unless you keep your house in order, they'll do this again," Sevika shot back. "They're already running roughshod over half of Entresol."

"I'm not startin’ a gang war."

"You've got the numbers. They'd be too scared to try again."

"We're not soldiers. This isn't a battleground."

"He'd say otherwise."

Vander's features went rigid. "That time's passed. For all of us."

Sevika stared at him for a long moment. Then she'd stalked out. Vi had been ready to go after her. Vander laid a heavy hand on her shoulder. "Let her be."

"But—"

"I'm not asking, kiddo."

Vi's belly churned: anger, confusion. She'd only been fifteen. But she'd sensed she was on the verge of forbidden territory. Things unsaid between Vander and Sevika. Memories—names—better off forgotten.

"What happened?" she asked at length. "Who's 'he'?"

"The past." Vander eyes were distant. "We all have one."

"She's not wrong, you know. We gotta keep a tighter fist on things."

"Not the way she wants to."

"But what if the gangs get stronger? What if they push into the Lanes?"

Vander looked at her with something like reproach. "That's not why we do this." He took a breath. "When the world tells you no, what do you do?"

"Say yes back. Show 'em they're wrong."

"Right. You do that by being better than them. You do it with decency. Not hate."

Vi shook her head. "What if it's not enough?"

"It's not." Vander smiled ruefully. "Which is why we gotta keep at it."

"But—"

"Vi." Gently, he gripped her chin. "The world will tell you no. Over and over. It'll try to break you. Make you hard and cruel. But the best thing you can do is find a reason to keep saying yes. Even when things look hopeless. There's more strength in that than you know."

Vi’s eyes refocus.

Her gloved hands are securely fastened. The laces are wound tight.  So is the grief.

She seethes, "How could you do it?"

Sevika quirks a brow.

"How could you turn on Vander? Leave the Lanes to that monster?"

Sevika's face hardens with restrained impatience. "We've been over this already. Vander betrayed the Lanes too many ways. He was weak. We were all weak under him. What use is loyalty without power?"

Vi seizes Sevika's mechanical hand. "This is power?"

Sevika jerks Vi's hand off. "This is the cost for a bigger reward. Our freedom."

"Yeah?" Vi takes in the suffocating dimensions of the prep room. "Is that why you're down here instead of at Silco's party tonight? Enjoying your freedom?"

Sevika shakes her head. "I'd take the filth down here to what's at that party any day."

in your opinion, why do you think it takes some people (me) so long to let go of hurt someone caused in your life....I’m trying to understand why I do that and would rather hold on to hurt/bad feelings, hatred- (I know it sounds bad)towards someone then let go of it? I was talking to a guy over a year he caused me a lot of hurt but would always justify it (flip it on me and make it my fault when it clearly wasn’t)...our relationship ended but it’s taken me so long to even let go of hurt like I said and cry about it multiple times everyday...

Hey love,

From my perspective, there can be various reasons why you continue to hold onto the pain. You become trapped in the pain because you have become accustomed to the emotions and the way you typically respond to disappointments.

It is perfectly fine to cry. Get a journal and release your emotions by putting them into words. Participate in activities that promote self-reflection, like axe throwing, painting, start passion project or go to the gym. Remember, heartbreak is the secret ingredient for achieving gym results, Babe.

Don’t cheat yourself from healing, it’s where the shift begins. You got to get it out and have a plan to get through it. It doesn’t end with the pain someone caused you. You can take what you learned and what happened and use it to become a better person! Take control of it, dont let it control you!

I recommend reaching out to a professional for assistance. It is important to transform your mindset and address any past traumas in a healthy manner. A therapist can assist you in navigating your emotions and offer you fresh insights.

Therapy has guided me through my own struggles, and helped me overcome the root of my trauma.. things I suppressed and patterned I’ve developed when I was in survival mode.

Please remain understanding and kind to yourself as you progress in your healing process. Allow yourself to make mistakes and remember that the challenges you've faced do not determine your worth or identity.

I hope this helps you along your healing journey 💗

hi! feel free to ignore this if you've already answered it before, but I was curious about your thoughts of Laenor/Rhaenyra alledgedy friendship the fandom is convinced they had going on.

originally I assumed it was a headcanon originating from [degoratory] but apparently, no. Many ppl share up and down that in fire & blood rhaenya x laenor grew closer post their marriage and were friends since Rhaenyra had no problem with laenor's lovers nor he with Ser Harwin.

Now, I'll admit I didn't really care for laenor in f&b tbh so maybe I should have focus more? But one thing I'm always fixated is how Viserys basically threatened Rhaenyra into marrying laenor (i like him. don't get me wrong but he doesn't get enough lashes for this) and rhaenyra's reaction is also reported. To have cried, screamed, begged etc. Obviously nothing positive.

the only "good" thing I can remember between rhaneyra and laenor is him being there with her when the children were born - which, sure that's nice but don't they both have an appearance to keep up? Like, maybe he was there to play the doting husband?

again, I don't mind the laenor x rhaneyra besties thing as a headcanon but I've seen readers being convinced and using their friendship as if it's canon in their arguments so i was wondering if I'm blind? Where they friends and I missed it? i think you might have mentioned in the past that you also don't think they had some deep rooted friendship but if so, where is everyone basing their beliefs from?

Hi there,

So I went over how that headcanon of Rhaenyra and Laenor being bffs holds no value in canon, and actually the books directly contradict it.

No, you are not blind. This fandom just has a very big imagination. Like @queenhousetargaryen once very well mentioned:

I don't know if these lies that are spread come from a desire to make Laenor into more than what he was because they like his parents, from trying to make it look like Rhaenyra's life was less miserable, or a bit of both or something else.

Where they take any of that from? Well where many in this fandom take their general beliefs and ideas from: www.voicesinsidemyhead.com and also www.convenientbeliefs4u.com or some BFN's lame post with 0 in book quotes.

Personally I cannot stand this "headcanon" because of what I mentioned: It takes away how much Rhaenyra suffered from being forced to marry against her will, and it also takes away from the pain she lived through those 6 years and how alone she was. It will never not be funny to me that the same BFN that rage at arranged marries suddenly seem to forget their aversion where Rhaenyra and Laenor are concerned. Oh well, anything to make the Velayrons look like perfect angels I suppose.

Some people: Rhaenyra and Laenor were bffs and he was a great choice of husband for her!

Us: Is Rhaenyra and Laenor being bffs and him being a great choice of husband for her here in the room with us?

You're not blind.

PS: Goes without saying but I still have to say it, everything written above concerns asoiaf canon Rhaenyra and asoiaf canon Laenor only. Keep redacted trash out of my tumblr. Thank you!

hi bestie!

I hope you're doing well, I haven't seen you in posts in a while, lately I've only been on Tumblr to write and hang out (I've been sick as hell because of a tooth root canal that I need to do lol)

But every time I see something about Bi Han I remember you! I hope you're really well. Is it very hot there?

It's unbearably hot in Brazil... I hope you're taking good care of yourself and being kind to yourself, you're a great person, remember that, xoxo<3

I’m alive bestie just not as active as I was I suppose? I’ve taken a maybe permanent break from writing, at the very least a lengthy break my mental health needs it. I’m so sorry you tooth is being so shitty I’m sending love!

It’s very cold here, I’m in Michigan which is very cold most of the time. This week was a little bit warmer but next week is supposed to be very, very cold. It’s ok though I like the cold it reminds me of Bi-Han.

I miss you bestie and hope your wonderful writing is going well! Sending all the love to you 🩷

it's 1:45 AM and I just washed my hair and I'm about to dye it since it's been too long since I retouched my roots (I can see my natural hair colour AND my grey hair. yes, I'm a young adult. yes, I'm constantly stressed. yes, I don't remember how peace feels anymore. I wouldn't mind a hug, if you are wondering.) and I have to do my maths hw but I've just read a fic that made me bawl my eyes out and I'd like to be more observing and go in-depth and thoroughly study psychology but also know everything there is to know about ADHD, depression, BPD, hyperfunctioning anxiety, OCD and Autism now. I also need to get the nail polish off my nails and paint it all over again because it's all chipped. to be fair, I really like the chipped look. it makes me feel cool and like I'm a rockstar. it also makes me realise how much of a mess I am and how much I actually just don't have the energy to do basic human needs so, there's that. I also might put on a clay mask as my dye processes. that will feel good.

well, I'll update anyway if I don't fall asleep.

it's currently 1:53 AM and I am slowly realising I should get the pretty black notebook I have and make it my journal.

hear from you soon,

xoxo,

🪐

Art of growing Succulents🌵

Hey eXplorers, how's it going!

This week I thought of sharing a few tips on growing cactus based on my experience. Just so you know I have a very short life of attention span for anything , I guess that's what made me grow cactus in the first place. XD

If you're a newbie plant owner or just started the interest in growing , Cactus can be a great starter plant because it has the ability to survive in the times of your NEGLECT XD. Just kidding!

Here you go !

Even though we know Cactus 🌵 can be grown under direct sunlight, when we grow them domestically the conditions can be different. 

1.Sunlight 🌞

They need to get enough sunlight but not too much. You can leave the plants in your patio, Shady place with a medium amount of sunlight, or if you're keeping them indoors, you need to keep them near a window where you can get enough direct sunlight.

Also remember when they get too much sunlight there is a possibility of getting sunburns. Yes you heard right! they get sunburns too. Check this picture right here on what happened when I move my plant to a direct sunlight for a long time. 

2. Water 💧

Since the cactus have the ability to store moist in them you just have to water  them twice a week. once would be fine too but if it's on sunny days, try watering it twice a week. Try to control watering during rainy days or do not water at all. :)

If you water them too much just like too much sunlight there is a tendency for the roots to rot.

Make sure the soil is dry before watering. Underwatering will also dry out the plant which will give out a pale look to the plant. So be mindful when you water them.

Check if the soil is dry just like the picture on the left before watering.

3.  Potting , Repotting, Soil & Fertilizer. ♻️

Try not to repot them frequently. They do not need constant repotting. Let it establish before moving it to a new pot. For full grown cactuses it is advisable to move it every 2-4 years or as you see fit.

I would recommend plastic pots than the cement pots as they hold the perfect habitat for these plants according to our climate. Terra Cotta pots are recommended too.

According to my personal experience I specifically do not use any fertilizer, just the organic soil collected from my garden. According to my reading research it is favorable to use organic fertilizer with more phosphorus than nitrogen.

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL FERTILIZER.

❗ When planting Remember to use protective gloves because the spikes can cause unnecessary pricks. And you can use kitchen tongs to hold the plant if necessary. I use my garden scissors.❗

Even though you don't have everything figured out as a beginner do not worry, above tips should help to get started. ❤️️

If you have any tips or questions other than these do comment or send me a chat I will add them in the next post :D

Hope to share another post with more tips and details on growing cactus.

So here you go, now you're an expert. Let me know how was your experience!! :D 

Happy planting !!!

LoveXLove !!! XOXO

Hey Mimiiiii. I've read Belong, it was so good. I can feel the love from both of them coming thru my phone eeekkkk. So warm so sweet... I love Yoongi so much. He's bias wrecking me so hard these days.

And in iwyts, i was like yoongiii baby come come home to me while he was 3rd wheeling oc and jk hahahahahah

As always chapter 9 is so good Mimi. Cant wait for the next part 💜

Xoxo, that anon (if you remember me 😜)

Ahhhh love for Belong always makes my heart warm 🥹🥹 Yoongi is such a bias wrecker it’s insane. I’d marry that man in a heartbeat like Srsly he raises the bar for EVERYTHING but gahhhh he was so precious there 🥺

And he’s always the guy you root for, isn’t he! I’ve loved writing him in all my stories as that guy like, who’s as wise and thoughtful as he is?? Glad you’re enjoying IWYTS and thank you. ☺️☺️ I think I remember you 😅

JUST PICK A DAY TO CHOOSE WHAT UNHINGED NOTE I WORTE LOL

Spanish is technically my first language! But honestly at this point I would say that I’m just shit at both languages lol and you’re not lame! If you never really needed it or found interest in a new language then that’s okay! Learning it can be hard! And that is so cool youre helping your student with math at least! Rooting for that kid bc math is already hard enough 😭

Omg I looked up the book and it IS giving major Made to Be vibes!!!!! Made to Be holds such a special place in my heart like I remember just being so sad for the MC and just wanting them ti be so happy with each other :( ugh I love that story!!! But if it was mixed with Love and Dryer Sheets vibe I GET THE STRESS!! And I do hope you read a less stressful book soon lol what’s been your favorite you’ve read this year?

Also I’m 20! And I’m studying clinical psychology! I guess I’m Pre-Med but honestly I don’t think it will be my vibe anymore lol And yeah I’ve always lived on the west coast and I’ve been able to stay here for college! -💜

Ma'am, you send me anything you feel like sharing. I'm sure it will be wonderful--but know that it will totes be alluded to in one of my writings if you do.

I definitely had no interest in learning a second language but now I wish I did. Especially Spanish. I took French in high school and I may as well have not taken it at all. I think she'll do okay, I just feel like a bad teacher because she's not getting math right away. Ya know? Which is not how the whole English language immersion works, I know. But I can't imagine being in a classroom where you don't understand a word. And expected to learn on top of that. Ugh.

I loved writing Made to Be. It was the kind of meet-cute love I dreamed about when I was studying to be a teacher 😊

I have The Christmas Wager staring at me from the coffee table rn. It's an enemies to lovers story and obvi holiday themed. I'm thinking it will be a cute read for this Christmas season 😊 Hopefully stress free!

My favorite book of the year. Oof that's a tough one! I read some really good ones this year! I think like cute and easy reads, Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren was the BEST. On the more serious side of things--The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. A little fun fact about me: every time I walk into Barnes and Noble I pick up at LEAST one book set during WWII. It's one of my fave eras tbh. Eventually I would want to do a Harry themed story about WWII. The Rose Code is one such kind of book. Kate Quinn is a great author, period. I've read 3 of her books and have two more on my shelf.

ANYWAY. That's my book reading summary this year.

Omg you're 20 😭 I feel ancient now and I don't usually do! I gravitate toward younger friends though (the mom-friend in me) So you'll be 21 this February!? 🍹🍹🍹 Super exciting, if so! I LOVED psychology. If you ever need a patient, I got plenty of stuff to work with here, just feel free to ask or test something out! 😭🙃😊 But good for you! Pre-med or not, your career will be really rewarding I'm sure! 💕 Same in this neck of the woods too. I'm an East Coast lady born, raised, and living here still!

Thanks for your answers and allowing me to ramble!

xoxo

remember how when i used to care about cobra kai people used to follow me for my cobra kai posts. remember how eli and demetri shippers used to be obsessed with me because i was the only person tangentially on their side who was funny. i didn’t say that. but it’s true. none of those people are funny i was the only person there serving funny posts at all… remember how i used to get asks from them all the time and had to be nice even though most cobra kai fans are objectively freaks. sorry that sounded mean. i just mean like. i would get asks on a daily basis talking about the teenage boys from cobra kai that i only cared about kind of and i had to answer them and not be a total bitch. it was weird. why did that happen to me. all those people are definitely gone now i’ve 100% scared them off by now considering that was a billion lifetimes ago. anyway. that was weird. that was a weird era. can’t ever say bbc merlin did nothing for me, that show and it’s horrors effectively killed cobra kai DEAD in my mind i will forever have to be grateful for that. unfortch. i hope the sag aftra strike goes on so long they cancel production on season six of that show. sorry not to root for the strike to go on and actors to continue to be out of work and treated badly. i just really hate cobra kai you understand. don’t know why i’m thinking about it rn. anyway. goodnight. might watch alex so i can get to sleep. bye xoxo love beth <3

Fiona

We're back! We're home and I'm sorting through hundreds of photos, trying to choose how I can share the highlights of the trip without burying you in vacation pictures and boring you to death. Ireland was wonderful. What a beautiful country and what incredibly kind and friendly people! I think small talk is the national sport. You will not meet a stranger in Ireland. The weather during our trip was about what we expected it. Ireland is a rainy country, and even when it's not raining, it's rarely sunny. A year has 8760 hours and Ireland averages 1100 to 1500 sunny hours per year. I don't mind that a bit, I love a moody sky. We had two rainy days, both cleared by mid-afternoon. We had several days that started with fog and just a barely there misty rain, again clearing by afternoon. And we even had three days of actual partly sunny or outright sunny weather. The hottest, sunniest day was luckily when we took a ferry out to Inisheer (Aran Islands), so that worked out perfectly.

The point of all that weather talk is to introduce Fiona. That's what I named my Irish hair. I tried to control her, but she was wild and free. There was no amount of product that could tame her and no tool in my arsenal was strong enough to break her spirit. You guys, I walked around looking like a clown. Not exaggerating. You know that in the 15 years that I've posted on this blog, a healthy portion of the content has been ruining/fixing/complaining about/laughing at my hair. The universe gave me the gift of blarney, but not the blessing of good hair. If a picture is worth a thousand words, allow me to illustrate.

American hair...

Irish hair...

My husband was unaware that he was vacationing with Diana Ross. Does anyone remember that episode of friends where they all went somewhere in the Caribbean and Monica's hair exploded?

Yep.

I thought I was prepared. I expected the rain and packed my anti-curl and anti-frizz products. They were no match for the constant misting and wet fog.

Yes, I did wear a lot of black on this trip. Perhaps I knew there'd be a funeral for my dignity. I swear, I started each day with a plan to subdue her, but Fiona roared back and refused to be vanquished. You have to respect a spirit like that. She was a worthy opponent, stronger and more determined, and I feel no shame in admitting defeat. Okay, now that we have all of that nonsense out of the way, I'll get down to the business of sharing beautiful Ireland with you. My favorite spot was Dingle. I could have stayed a week there. I've got too many pictures so I'll sift through them and try to hit just the highlights. I have so much to tell you, from scary cliffside driving and interpreting the Irish language, to my search for a green vegetable. Ten days of beef, potatoes, and bread made Mickey very happy. My body was craving greens. I did find some beautiful salads - a smoked salmon salad in Dingle, and this beauty in Galway.

I wanted to marry that salad. Rocket greens, beet root, crispy crown of goat cheese, walnuts, a drizzle of honey....it was perfection on a plate.

But enough about food, I'll leave you with a view of yet another castle. They were everywhere. We'd be buzzing along toward the next village and just on the roadside, beyond a field of sheep or sitting in a cove - a castle! This is Dunguaire Castle, located in Kinvara. It had closed for the season on September 30th so we didn't go inside, just roamed the grounds. I'd planned to add pretty music to the video, but decided to leave in the original audio. There we were, not a car in sight, so we pulled over to explore the castle. Across the road was a field of sheep and donkeys. Peaceful, bucolic...until I took my phone out.

That donkey had a lot to say. I couldn't understand him though, it was all in Irish. Alright, back later with more. I promise it will be prettier and more interesting. SO MUCH to share! Stay safe, stay well, stay tuned! XOXO, Nancy

Why do you love bethyl so much? Like what is it about these characters and their relationship that drove you to talk about them so frequently. I’m just asking because I don’t really watch TWD (it’s too sad for me) but I love hearing you talk about them.

This is such a loaded question, lol. I think what it came down to was just that the the writers crafted the relationship so beautifully. Daryl was already a fan favorite. He had a hard time connecting with anyone, so any romance they did for him had to be very connection-heavy. And it was.

Tptb have said many times that the emotional connection in Still was not meant to be romantic in and of itself. They wanted them to have a deep, soul connection first, and that would naturally give birth to romantic feelings over time. I think they did a great job of showing that.

And I don't care what anyone says, Daryl has NOT connected with anyone else--man or woman--that way on the show. Not with Carol, not with Connie, not with Leah. Only with Beth. In a way, that's why he hasn't been able to have a true romance with anyone else. Sure, there was Leah, but as the writer's said, there was an underlying toxicity there, rather than a true romance.

As my friend @wdway has talked about recently (and she got it from things showrunners said back in S4/S5) there is an underlying sweetness in both Beth and Daryl's characters that made them perfect together, but also made it harder for them to connect than it would have been for most people because they're both so shy and awkward. I remember seeing jokes and memes back in S4 about them being the two shyest people on the planet who had ended up together.

But the thing is, the harder a character has to work for something, the more compelling it is for the audience. We love these characters and are rooting for them, so when something comes easily for them, we don't get very emotionally invested. When it's hard won, we care a lot more. So, there's that.

And then there's the unrequited part. Not that either of them didn't have feelings for one another, but rather that, due to circumstances outside their control, they were consistently ripped away from one another.

I've told this story many times, but back in S4, after watching Still and really loving them as a couple, I just figured they'd be together, now. It was really obvious. When she got kidnapped and he ran down the street after her, screaming her name, I became a die-hard shipper for life. Lol. Again, it's just something about them being torn apart, him searching for her, the tragedy and hard-won nature of it all. We can't help but hope and pray and ship.

I don't know if that really helps or answers your question directly. In truth, it's always hard to pin down why we love the things we love. We simply do. And Bethyl is a love story for the ages. Xoxo! 💌💘
