about the bears! i can relate, i was born and spent my childhood in a small town in Siberia, forests are pretty close to us, too. and bears go into the town for food sometimes, esp in spring and autumn, they tend to scavenger on trash cans. i even remember how when i was in middle school a rumour went around how a bear is in a park nearby my school, and well, we all went to see the bear. fortunately there was no bear for us to see and we got in a big trouble for that xDD my parents even got a note "she went to a park to see a bear without permission, didn't have her coat on!!" and yes, reoccurring bear-chase dreams are a thing for me, too, lol

also i adore your art and Vasco especially, sunny, lovely boy. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work with us : )

"Went to a park to see a bear without a permission! Didn't have her coat on!"

#that's such kid logic #there's a bear nearby! let's go check it out! #one time there was a group of wild boars near our school #didn't see them myself though #and once a bear walked through my grandparents backyard #I wasn't there to see that either but so I've been told #answered #redcofu #rural colorado 🤝 small town finland 🤝 small town siberia = recurring dreams where you're chased by bears

The blue jays have started building a nest that's right next to my balcony and I see them perfectly from my usual seat!

#i hope ill get to see some babies blue jay #but anyways its a blessing whenever they come on my balcony or when i can just see them #the back alley of my appartment is basically my backyard ok ive decided that #anyways theres a bunch of trees (AND MORE IMPORTANTLY RIGHT ACROSS FROM MY BEDROOMS WINDOW IS A LILAC TREE) #i cant even begin to explain how awesome that is to me #anyways ive been feeding the birds sporadically since living here and my downstairs neighbours have as well #so theres lots of city wild life #also the water is pretty close by i suppose that helps! #i forget i live in a “green” part of the city #le saint laurent est juste a côté #cant wait to go smoke by the fleuve during the summer #also fun Winter lore : when i was a kid i used to always call Montreal “pays pas beau” (ugly country) #i would say that everywhere i went that had no/little trees 😭😭😭😭

Bobcats are too small

How can you pretend to be wild, when I could just scoop you up? Cut it out and

get inside my house this instant

#shitposting #shitpost #memes #do not actually scoop the bobcats #and yes there are tinier wild cats #but these babies wander through my backyard and I should be allowed to pet them

To piggyback off the last post I reblogged; I was so engrossed in talking about everything else that I never mentioned how much the Upheaval is never properly explained and makes very little sense, but there you go.

The Upheaval is never properly explained (nor are there explanations being hinted at) and makes very little sense.

#totk #totk critical #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #it's far less important than the rest imo #that's the one case of “gameplay before story” that I can absolutely accept as “we needed an excuse” like sure #but it's still... very puzzling #I feel like they could have tied this up with Zelda's time travel powers in some way? #as giriduck mentioned --dragging the past back into the present #ALSO #wild to me that THIS #aka: the zonai ruins falling off the sky and popping up everywhere and the terrifying empty depths #*this* is the permanent change to hyrule by the end of the game #not zelda being a dragon #not ganondorf being a dragon #not link missing an arm #but the weird ruins that appeared everywhere and seemed connected to the problem at hand #good fucking luck kakariko with both the ruins falling overhead and the bottomless pit in your backyard lol #get zonaied idiots

maybe weird thought that just hit me; a locked tomb AU set in the Disco Elysium world could actually work... kinda awesomely? IDK, the vibes just somehow align in a way that *works* in by brain. Can 1000% imagine Harrow latching onto Dolores Dei as her 'alecto' in it like crazy. Gideon as some shipping dock worker. The Second just *reek* of that pathetic cop energy that try to come into Martinaise and be 'The Law' and fail spectacularly. Just... so many things lining up perfectly in my head. Plus as someone who normally viscerally dislikes modern AUs I think it could actually work pretty well as a modern-adjacent locked tomb AU. That kinda 'almost modern, almost our world... but not quite' energy that preserves the weirdness of tlt.

#tlt #the locked tomb #disco elysium #Totally imagine Harrow and Gideon as being from the run down fishing village and Harrow is just this gremlin that constantly sneaks off to #the abandoned church to prostrate before the stain glass window of Dolores. #Gideon going off to work at the Union maybe as the equivalent of Titus Hardie? #The Sixth and maybe Fifth just being backyard scientists with FAR too little budget trying to study the nature of the Pale #Maybe the Third fill in as the AU's negotiators from Wild Pines? #Corona being the actual negotiator and Babs being there to SEEM like he's the muscle protecting her... but really it's Ianthe who is some #sorta crazy assassin or something idk #IT ALL JUST WORKS SO WELL IN MY HEADDDD

Ever since finishing Journey I've been restless, without a creative focus, and without even many mundane demands since my kids are all in school now.

It's a real trip, by the way, going from a decade-plus spent as a 24/7 on call caregiver with barely the time to form a full coherent thought, to... a pampered housewife with few demands on her time.

I keep asking Sam if I should get a real job. Our "deal" -- which was only ever the deal that I proposed, and clung to, throughout those hard years when even being by myself in the shower felt like a snatched luxury...the deal was, that after the crunch was over, I'd get two years to write and market a novel.

Well. Journey took five years to write, and hasn't been sold yet. But it's still useful for me to be home and flexibly "on call" for childcare in case of illness or Sam having an out-of-town conference or whatever, and also I do still cook every night. I'm not entirely useless. Just...mostly.

One day not so long ago Sam came into the bathroom in the middle of the day, when I was having a luxurious candlelit bubble bath soak. "Should I...get a job?" I asked weakly.

"Nah," he said. "You're fine. You do plenty."

But I objectively do...not that much. I have SO MUCH time in the day now, I have hella time, and I'm not even writing. Journey is in the slush pile with Baen and I don't have a current project. I'm getting itchy and restless with it. It's like I'm retired at 47.

I don't have a conclusion for this. It's just where I am. It's not a bad place by any measure; no, I'm incredibly lucky. I've always been so fucking lucky.

#I don't even think it was ever my luck #I think it was Sol's #so I should not count on it going forward but I'm so glad he has it because he really needs it #and the thought that I'll be here for him so long as he needs me is very comforting so I'll continue to believe it #I know that I'm smart and I know that I'm a good writer but also I know that mostly I'm lucky #even back in college my bff called me a wild irish child with the luck of the fairies #it's obvious to anyone around me that I have poor judgment and worse impulse control and all the luck under heaven #I don't even believe in astrology or w/e but that one time I was in Seoul and a friend of my dad's paid for a star chart analysis #they were like 'well she's doing her best to kill herself but she won't succeed because the universe won't let her' #and I have to admit that has in fact been my experience #anyway yeah Sol is my fairy gift (conceived on Midsummer's Eve in a fertility ritual that was MEANT TO BE FOR MY GARDEN) #spill your seed on the fertile earth I said to Sam #no we won't use any other contraception bad for the magic I said #I don't think you get to call a child a surprise that's conceived in a midsummer fertility ritual in your backyard #but I MEANT IT FOR MY GARDEN #to be fair the tomatoes were great that year #and now I have a Strange son and I believe the luck was always for him

Emmitt Wild and Dwight Jr

Tour of the new back yard for my boys!

Tobias was also with us but he was cozy inside the rat robe and could not be bothered for the outdoors at the moment.

These two geese return to the pond every year to have their babies. They visited our yard this morning with this year’s clutch c:

#paige chatter #there’s actually two families this year; the second pair has a clutch of three #I always look forward to watching the babies grow over the course of the summer c: #unfortunately it makes going into my backyard an extreme sport lmao #apparently a small black bear was spotted not far from my neighborhood too this year so #yep; it’s getting wild around here lol
