Hey bunnies! It’s been a minute. 🩷

I have spent the summer getting chubby. 😀 But it’s been worth every alcoholic beverage and vacation calorie.

I decided to spend as much of the 90 days of summer saying YES to new experiences. I had to not let my weight hold me back from all the things on my bucket list. It HAS for many many years. “So sorry, but I’m too fat to go and do this and that. Sorry! But I have nothing to wear, it’s all too tight and I’m too self conscious!” I’ve known this my whole like, but I’m trying to live it “people who love you do not see your weight as a barrier to loving you”. They invite you because they want to spend time with you. Stop saying NO. You DO want to go.

Summer 2023: It’s had some ups and downs.

I went to Lido Beach Sarasota FL. Beautiful beach. 2 days in I had COVID: took 13 days to recover. That birthday vacation ended quickly.

Tried to make it up in Vegas end of June with 108 F temperatures. So hot you couldn’t even sit by the pool. Stayed at the spa most days.

Went to my first Grateful Dead concert. Perks: I already had COVID so no mask. The Free Contact high was amazing!

I did archery for the first time! Love it .

I learned to play CRAPS.

I went white water rafting at the American River.

Camp and made s’mores.

Watched the fireworks! 🩷🩷

Taught my self to make my favorite drink: Paloma.

Went to a Fiesta party and a Disco party. YES! Dressed up: wig and all!! Salsa and 70’s music and dancing.

46 days left of SUMMA! Go get it!!! ☀️☀️☀️

BTW: I’m back on my exercise and diet plan. I Do have a threshold. 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

💋

am I simply............. to be an educational pit stop and temporarily necessary mental/emotional/spiritual support for the men I love for all time?? like yes the two boys I've loved in my life I DID love with all my heart however the first only started reading the Bible regularly and investing in his church community after I broke up with him (these were things I kept suggesting while we dated, but which he brushed off and didn't take seriously) and now it's looking like I am an emotional bookmark for the second. like I'm in between one page of his life and the next, and am helping him process and am teaching him how to deal with his emotions properly, but what I'm doing for him is literally all that I will be to him, and he likely won't remember me when I move out of the dorm and graduate.

#i DO love him i DO want to help him #however i do wonder why he's chosen to confide in me. why he asked me to keep him accountable for something #that by all rights was his responsibility and his own romantic business #he IS young and he IS kind of immature in this area and i get why he asked me. i really do. he was afraid and i'm his friend.#but anywayyyyy this has been a TIME #i am trying not to be like well why is it my job to better these men #not to give myself too much credit LOLLLLL it's not like i'm drastically shaping them in any way shape or form #it's just. i know how much attention and hidden care and worry and affection and consideration i put into all of this #i too would like to experience it the other way around #where i am not the only one who is paying attention to these things and wanting to support and care for and watch over the other person #not that i'm doing anything with the expectation of reciprocity. goodness no i'm not stupid enough to expect anything now #but it would be really nice. REALLY NICE. to not be giving and giving and giving #and then going back to my room and then crying my eyes out because it feels like it's either all for nothing or has no weight to the boy #the waiting room chapter

The strange boy's eyes are as black as the depths of the sea, and when Caspian helps him, dripping, onto the deck, he walks with a swaying, stumbling gait. The men mutter and whisper—'tis bad luck, for sure, to find a castaway so far from any shore or shipwreck, and worse to bring him on board—but Caspian does not care. If the boy is cursed, Caspian welcomes the adventure. And if, instead, the stories are true, and some beings of the deep can change their form, shedding scales for skin and tails for legs in order to bring grief to sailors above…

Well, don't those stories also say merfolk hoard treasure beyond imagining?

Caspian grins at the boy, and the boy grins back, teeth sharp and eyes sharper. Excitement curls in Caspian's chest, and as the boy leans into the arm Caspian has about him, Caspian thinks one part of the stories, at least, is true: the folk of the sea are beautiful.

Casmund pirate x merman AU anyone?

Mothdela: Evelin’s first job! (2003)

DAVE AND EVELIN ORIGIN STORY LET’S GO 🗣️ I LOVE FOUND FAMILY 💥💥

There was only one moth in town who was known for his weird mustache, weird sunglasses, and his extremely large store where you can find literally anything… Dave Lee.

Dave Lee was a moth who owned the biggest shop in town, where you can find anything you need and more. From plants to decorations to a long gone ancient species (not really, but he’d have one there if he could), it was all here. Dave had an interest in… well, everything. Anything that he liked, he’d put up for sale in the shop. Anything that he loved, he’d tuck it away in the back of the store for him to personally admire.

He kind of sounds like a hoarder when you put it that way, and he probably is. Not to mention, he lives inside of his beloved shop. Remember the back of the store? Yeah, that’s his room. There’s a lot of stuff back there, mostly strange contraptions that Ruth found while exploring the human world.

Despite his tendency to obsessively gather various objects, he was actually a pretty nice guy. You would never see him frowning, and the elderly moths of Mandela describe him as a “polite young man”. He also loves to wear accessories, and wears a silly-looking thing on his face called “sunglasses”. He also wears a fake mustache, and never takes it off. Says it makes him look “cool”.

But one day, he realized he couldn’t continue running the shop all on his own. It was getting to be a lot to manage, the organizing, the pricing, making sure everything is clean… he can’t do that all by himself! So he began to advertise that he was hiring. And soon enough, someone came in looking for a job.

The day after he put out the advertisements, Dave was standing behind the register and hoping that someone would take his offer. That’s when a teenage girl walked right through the door. At first, he thought she was a customer. “Welcome to Dave’s, hope ya find everything you need!” The moth put on a friendly smile.

The girl stayed silent, seeming a little nervous. Her mouth was curled into a frown. Dave hated when people looked so sad, especially in normal situations like going to the store. It made his heart ache for them, because they shouldn’t have to be so down while out and about! “Why so sad, kiddo? You should try on a smile for a change! Unless you don’t have a reason to smile. I know I didn’t when I was your age!” The moth said with a cheesy grin, trying to get her to smile or laugh. It definitely comes off as rude and condescending to tell people to smile more, but Dave unfortunately never picked up on that important social rule. He just didn’t want her mood to be sour for the whole day.

The girl sighed, walking up to the register and ignoring his previous comment. “Uh… I’m actually here for the job application.” She sounded a little tired. That’s probably why she looks so sad… she had to get up early in the morning to go to a job interview…

It genuinely surprised Dave that such a young person was able to go out and work. He never did any of that stuff when he was a teenager, just stayed home with his father most of the time. “Oh! Yes, yes… just give me a second…” The moth then went searching for the papers that he made for the job application. There was a lot of stuff behind the register, so it was a bit hard to find them. Luckily, he found the papers and a quill underneath six rocks. “Aha! Just fill out these papers and you’ll be good to go.” He handed them to her, they were hand-written in barely illegible handwriting.

The teenage moth was just as surprised as he was. No job interview? Just these papers? Of course, she wasn’t about to complain. The less she had to do to get this job, the better.

As the girl signed the papers, Dave began to ask some questions. He’s curious as to why such a young person wants to work, and he’s never seen her around town before. Wouldn’t hurt to get to know her if she’s gonna be working here. “Soooo… should probably ask ya some questions. What’s your name, kid? I’m Dave Lee, but you can just call me Dave or even just Lee.”

The teenager looked up from the papers she was filling in, rolling her eyes. She was writing her name down right now on the papers he just gave her, why is he even asking? Whatever… “I’m Evelin.” She quickly responded, hastily getting back to what she was doing before.

Dave nodded, noting that she has a bit of an attitude. But she’s a teenage girl, that sort of attitude is in the blood of every single one of them… But enough about the brutal nature of teenage girls, because he thinks he’s heard that name somewhere. “Evelin, huh? Where have I heard that name before…” He trails off, before a lightbulb seems to flicker in his head. “You from Bythorne, by any chance?”

“Yeah, I am…” Evelin responded with an unamused look, not bothering to look up from the paperwork this time. She wanted to get this over with.

The lightbulb in Dave’s head finally went off, his face lighting up with recognition. “Oh- Ohhhhh!! I know you! Or, well- I don’t know you, but I’ve heard about ya! You’re that kid who’s dating my friend’s-friend’s-daughter’s-friend!”

“…What?” Evelin finally looked up at him again, a little surprised by… whatever that was.

Dave chuckled, leaning forward. “Well… I know a guy, who knows a gal, who has a daughter, who has a friend named Adam. Ring a bell?”

Evelin’s face immediately flushed. They’ve only been dating for a few months, how did the word get out to another part of the forest and to her employer?? “O-Oh! Yeah, that’s my boyfriend…” This was so embarrassing…

Bingo! “Small world, huh? That daughter I was talking about, her name is Lilith. She’s Adam’s best buddy, or whatever. You know her too, or…?” He didn’t know a lot about Lilith and her personal life. She’s a shy one, he’s only heard her mutter a few words in the time he’s known her.

The teenager’s face lit up in recognition as well, finally knowing who exactly he was talking about. “Not really… Adam says we would get along well, and he wants me to meet her sometime.” Evelin wondered if Lilith lived around this area. Adam described her as a very red Io Moth. Maybe if she saw her, she could stop by and say hello.

After a few minutes, she was finished. There was only like, two papers she needed to fill in. This was actually pretty easy… “Alright. I’m done.” Evelin handed the papers back to him, before stepping back and allowing him to read them.

“Thanks, kiddo!” He exclaimed with glee, reading the papers over. Let’s see… Evelin Miller, 16 years old, lives in Bythorne, never had a job before… Good enough! You don’t need much experience to clean and organize stuff, and that’s really all she needs to do here.

“Well.. Welcome to the job, Evelin! I’ll show ya around, get you familiar with what you’re doing here.” Wow, that was easy. Dave stepped out from behind the register, now leading Evelin across the massive shop full of items galore. As she followed him around, she began to wonder how he even navigates this place. So much stuff…

“These are my plants… and these are my rocks…” The man went through all of the store, showing the girl his collection with pride. Evelin wasn’t really paying attention at this point, considering he took it upon himself to name every single item he had. After he took her around the whole store, he turned around to her with a serious look. “Oh, and one more thing…”

“Hm?” Evelin raised an eyebrow, wondering what he had to tell her now. He already ran his mouth for like, an hour while he was showing her around. What more could he possibly have to say?

Dave took a small breath. “If you ever need anything while you’re here, like food, water, whatever you need… just come to me. Or like, if you need your parents or guardians or whatever, give me a holler and I’ll send you their way.” He gave her an awkward thumbs up. He didn’t really know why or how a 16 year old wants to hold down a job, so he had no idea how to treat her during her time here. He assumed that she’d probably need to get out of work early every once and a while, for… teenager things? God, he had not a single clue what normal teens even did.

“Uhhhh… okay!” Evelin gave a thumbs up back, and shrugged her shoulders. Dave gave her another thumbs up before getting lost in his thoughts. Shouldn’t she be going to school, or something? Or like… hanging out with friends or… watching a movie? Is it normal for teenagers to go out by themselves and get a job like this? He never had a job when he was a teen. He started this business in his early 20’s, after his father finally died and left all of his belongings in his possession. So, like… he kinda had no idea that teens even do this business stuff.

Evelin noticed him zoning out a little, his face resting in a blank stare. “You should try a smile for a change.” She said with a cocky smirk, crossing her arms at him.

The moth’s thoughts were interrupted, though he was immediately happy to see that Evelin was now smiling. “It wouldn’t be much of a change, now would it? I’m smiling like, 89% of the time.” He laughed heartily, placing his hands on his hips.

“Yeah, yeah… anyways, when do I start?” The teenager waved her hand in dismissal, wanting to know when she was actually going to start working here and not just talking to her boss.

“Oh- Uhhhh…” He never actually planned a starting date for any potential employees. Nor did he plan a schedule. He didn’t plan that far… “Is tomorrow good…?” Dave asked after a bit of thinking. Surely, she had the time to start tomorrow. After all, she’s still young, so she probably has a bunch of free time.

After some consideration, Evelin responded. “I don’t have anything to do tomorrow, so… sounds good.” She lightly smiled at him, giving another thumbs up at him.

Dave nodded in confirmation. Tomorrow it is! “See ya tomorrow then, kiddo. Get some rest.” He waved goodbye, hoping she made it home safe. After all, Bythorne to Mandela was such a long fly!

“Gotcha…” Evelin waved goodbye as well, but only left with more questions about this job and the man’s strange behavior…

#yeah so Evelin was a bitch when she was 16 lmao 😭#she had some ATTITUDE #this fic was her displaying her ‘formal’ teenage attitude #she gets better at 18 don’t worry lol #also Dave has daddy issues if you couldn’t tell already 👍#just like me fr #Dave dad lore goes hard btw #Dave is also a hoarder.#Everything he actually HOARDS is kept in the back room #The stuff that’s on sale (a lot) also has sentimental value #but the moths don’t go outside the forest so he knows the items aren’t really going anywhere #And he tends to put perishables on sale pretty quickly because he used to hoard the perishables too #the store became a way to manage his hoarding problem after his dad who was also a hoarder died and left his massive hoard to Dave #but he also just has a lot of fun owning the store lol #It’s equally as much of a coping mechanism as it is a fun business #tmc #tmc moth au #the mandela catalogue #Dave Lee #Dave tmc #tmc Dave #tmc Dave Lee #tmc evelin #Evelin tmc #Evelin Miller #tmc Evelin Miller #oc mention #Mothdela Evelin #Mothdela Dave #Mothdela Lilith

I’m kinda insecure about one of my f/o’s because, 1. He’s a teenager (and I’m an adult), and 2. He’s kind of a meme character. I’m worried people will think I ship myself with him as a joke, but I’m not. I really, really like him!

This is the Internet and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks ever.

Well that's my go to response anyway, but I do understand the hesitation, especially with a canon minor character, feels like you gotta dance around certain people for that, and it makes the whole thing feel kinda exhausting. Though I'll say, it's probably not as scary as you think it is, it's easy to fall into this hole on the internet that if you make even the slightest misstep people will scream for your head, but it's really not that bad, I promise. Maybe I'm just lucky though, or off most people's radar.

The other half though, the worry people think you're self shipping with them as a joke? Honestly, if people think that, it's probably fine all things considered? Like I get it kinda sucks not being taken seriously, kinda hurts, but at the end of the day your F/O knows you're serious, and you know you're serious, and that's what matters.

Every character is someone's unironic Fictional Other. There are people out there who'd unironically want to Marry Shrek, or Nagito Komeda, or Sans Undertale and the Oncler together. And like!!! Good For Them!!! I love that for them!!! Shrek and Sans love them back!!

So if you're comfortable with it, take a deep breath, and love loud.
