Some of you might remember Teen & Wolf, the Lasers and Feelings hack that @freelanceplatypus and I designed with our beautiful brains a while back. It's a joy to announce that, after playtesting, editing, thinking up better jokes, and editing again, a full version with an illustrated rule book is available for free to download!

The gorgeous cover you see in this post was illustrated by @soymikki. One million thanks to Mikki, as well as to Rachel @snailparent and Cass @ambientmagic, the best playtesters we could ask for.

Please enjoy the game! Let us know if you've played it, tell us all your teen werewolf stories, and keep howling at the moon!

I followed you back when you were saferincages and when you didn’t post through the whole pandemic I feared the worst. I’m so relieved to have dug a little deeper and found you here on a new blog instead! I wish you all the best—your gentleness and kind words are a precious rarity in the world

hello lovely! I remember you, of course (I remember all my mutuals!!! 💕), and I hope you don't mind me answering this publicly - I've been holding onto it for a couple of days, partially because I was overwhelmed by how dear this is, and partially because I've been trying to sort out what to say.

the pandemic's primary effect has been to take me from "mostly" homebound to completely homebound (I've mentioned this in passing, but I haven't gone anywhere - except the 60 some-odd feet from my room to the kitchen/living room - since December 31, 2019 when I left a physical therapy session) because it's too risky for me to go out with my immune system like it is, and my illness issues have been bad enough that we're not sure how well I'd do with the vaccine (my mom luckily got hers). we are in a fairly dire situation now that I also haven't spoken about publicly and I'm not sure...what's going to happen to us. it is precarious and, in all honesty, scary every day. I haven't said anything because I don't want to burden everyone with it, but avoiding it entirely in response to this felt like a lie by omission.

I'm deeply sorry that you, or anyone, were worried, and I can never tell you how much it means to me to be remembered, I'm so grateful to all the paths that have crossed mine here on Tumblr with such incredible thoughtfulness and warmth. I did not announce I came back on saferincages because I never expected or really intended to be here long, and it felt very unfair to tell 1000+ people I was here for such a short moment. I assumed when I came here in early November that I'd only be back for a few weeks at the longest, maybe through Christmas, and this blog was just a place to be hyper-fixated mostly on one particular topic (something I tried my best not to do on my old blog, not that I always managed that 😂) before I faded back into the ether. happenstance gave me the grace of more time than I expected, though I'm not sure how much of it I now have left. the reason why I didn't post on saferincages is due to this, because it grieves me terribly to have come back only to have to inevitably leave again (my mom and I have had some minor disagreements on this because she thinks it wasn't wise or entirely considerate of me to re-establish any connections with the awareness that it was temporary). that said, I can't imagine having made it through the past few months without the comfort and friendship of this little corner here, but still, I feel a sense of guilt that it's not more permanent. I also can't imagine having survived through the many years I did on my old blog(s) without the light and care I was shown by so many amazing people like you.

I hope you're doing well and finding joy and solace through everything, and that you know how valuable your kindness is too.

thank you so much for remembering me, and for sending me this sweet message, I cherish and am touched by things like this more than I can say, and enfold them into my heart always.

ambientmagic replied to your post “Names my Plants Have: a comprehensive list”

Potential names: Ivan (for an ivy), Pamela (Isley), Treebeard

thank you, i’m getting an umbrella tree when i graduate so i’m actually in the market for good names. My sister named hers Rihanna so obviously I have to outdo her

Concept: KiyoKuro Pushing Daisies AU

YELL!!! I’m going to be honest and say I’ve never actually watched Pushing Daisies, but it’s on my very short list of TV series to try out!! That and I’ve seen plenty of gif sets on Tumblr LOLBut this sounds like my cup of tea. I think either Kuroko or Kiyoshi can fit the role of the MC with the magic touch, but I can see Kuroko reviving his dead dog (Nigouuuu) and senpai, whom he didn’t get to properly confess to! Then they lead another life together, solving mysteries alongside Officer Kagami while trying to figure out their feelings towards each other, without really knowing what the other one feels ‘v’

I’m gonna add this to my list of mental prompts hehe. Thanks a lot for sharing :D

Various Anon Questions

Anon: I would love to see a Beauty and the Beast final girl, but I can see how that would be icky. Did you have any ideas at all or were you just going to leave it?

@ambientmagic suggested Gaston as the killer, which is a good idea! My concern is that the “villain” of the original Beauty and the Beast tale is arguably the Beast, and although I love examining the relationship between a final girl and a slasher, my interest is NEVER to make that romantic. I couldn’t figure out a way to make another villain the slasher, but bringing the Disney Gaston in might work. I’ll need to think on it more! Additionally, I’d purposefully stayed away from Magic in this series, because slashers are very typically magic-less (aside from the constant resurrection of Jason and Michael Myers) and BatB seems very tied in with magic. Same with Sleeping Beauty and the Little Mermaid! It’s possible to do, but it’ll take more thought and time on my part. (Personally I love magic and all final girls are types of witches if you ask me, but you know.)

Anon: A princess and the pea final girl thought. If you go with the mother son characterization similar to once upon a mattress you could make the mother the slasher. Just an idea

Definitely something I’d considered! I think there’s something to do there for Princess and the Pea, just need to find a good take on it.

absolutely HONORED by this testimonial from @ambientmagic

[saferincages]

meme catch-up!

I was tagged by @pinkfairy727, thank you lovely!

Rules: Shuffle your music and write down the first 10 songs full disclosure, I’ve been listening to the same playlist of like ~200 songs for months on end, but I opened this up to my entire (absurdly big) library to see what would happen...it’s not as randomly eclectic as I thought it might be (I swear some of these artists pop up every time I do this meme)? 😊

1. New York - Ed Sheeran 2. I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm - Frank Sinatra 3. Close to You - Neon Trees 4. Mystery - Anita Baker 5. Give Me Strength - Snow Patrol 6. Lullaby Singer - Anna Nalick 7. Save Rock and Roll - Fall Out Boy 8. Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac 9. Standing in Front of You - Kelly Clarkson 10. On the Steps of the Palace - Into the Woods OBC bonus 11 because it was the next song up and I was like, “of course”: I Go to the Zoo - Scott Michael Foster

and the fabulous @theimpossiblescheme also tagged me ♥

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic/original/anything!) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

okay, so...I never really write any more, the most recent thing I scribbled out that wasn’t a direct message or rambling tag meta was this, I guess? but I did do a tiny bit of writing in a story back in September/October (which I then abandoned again 🤷), thus I opened up the document and the last sentence in there is:

“I have no intention of dissolving.”

(which sounds super weird out of context, I’m delighted)

I’m tagging the most recent six friends in my activity, you can do either of these or both (or neither, of course!), whatever you’d like!: @ambientmagic, @francescajohnson, @wildwood-dancer, @finnsrey, @huniedrop, @mithrilstarlight
