Little explanation on my username:

Snake flower (and snake berry) is a folk name for bittersweet nightshade, my favourite plant.

And I post from a cottage (no I’m not taking pictures of my home for the internet lol)

Honesty hours: I've been working a summer job at a bookstore for almost two months now. Here are the books I will discreetly shake my head at customers for buying. My literary red flags, if you will.

Anything tarot

Particular romance and romantasy novels that I've been told are basically just soft erotica (ACOTAR being the most popular)

Harlequins, which apparently still exist

Colleen Hoover

The Colleen Hoover merch we sell for some godforsaken reason

Heaven is For Real, When God Winks at You, and other theologically sketchy but inexplicably popular books. I'm always internally thinking, "oh honey, no!"

Giant stack of self help books combined with books from the business section. This suggests a very particular type of person. This type of person scares me.

Especially that one book we have about how to become a "superior man" (??)

More than one book by James Patterson. One book is forgivable; multiple suggests you follow him as an author

More than one book by Danielle Steel (same reason)

Parents buying their kids books that are just "Adult Thing: For Kids!" Like we have a picture book that's called "A Day at Dunder Mifflin" or the one adapted from the Dumb and Dumber movies and I'm like. Don't you think your kid would prefer something that's actually for them??

That guy who bought the collected writings of Lenin, the poetic writings of Mao, and a giant, thousand-page biography of Che Guevara all in one go. You okay there buddy?

IT'S FINISHED! I'VE FINISHED IT!

for the past few months i've been putting together a guide for writers looking to make OCs who suffer from DID, since i have a personal investment in good representation and an absurd amount of autism. and today it is FINISHED!!

it's gone up on my neocities, but i really wanted to post about it too.

here's the link

please check it out / bookmark it / share it if you're interested! if just one person finds this useful and makes art from it all my hours of hyperfixation will be worth. ok. love you

Now that mermay is over. I have more mermay content. Much thanks to my buddy silvermasquerade who I wanted to talk about a mermaid au with (specifically their twin oc girlies who feature heavily here) and who had a hundred good ideas because now I’m terminally obsessed

So what if there were merfolk dolphins and they lived in an aquarium that does shows and stuff and most of them have an assigned human “handler” to help manage things and maybe to perform with. I think the merfolk are mostly like rescues or relocations?? At any rate the current set up of humans they work with are largely tolerable and even likeable so that’s a plus 🙏 and yes I’m unlearning embarrassment so you get to see my whole sketchbook layouts

(In this specific au the list of names and animals on the top left (above) are the merms, the right side list is the reverse timeline but we’ll get to that later)

Anyway I’ll put some ‘who’s who’ + rambles under the cut, for now @silvermasquerade GET OVER HERE I HAVE YOUR CHILDREN AND SECRET OTHER ART

Ok so. The merfolk are: silvermasquerade’s girls Adaline and Alyssa, the two black haired dusky dolphins

Alyssa (ponytail)’s human is Bo, Adaline won’t take an assigned handler but if she needs an assistant for her performances she’ll borrow someone (usually also Bo). They’re beautiful and so much fun to play dolls with and I love them. I also love forcing Bo and Alyssa to get through the initial absolute refusal to cooperate bc once they figure each other out they are so funny to me

(The rest of these aren’t going to have pics accompanying them because I’m hitting image limit smh)

My contributions to the merms are Quinton, the spotted dolphin who’s (current) human is a yet un-designed and completely un-introduced dude named Rhydian (annoying, sometimes pretends that the merfolk aren’t as sentient as they are bc it’s ‘convenient for him’). Luckily I’m thinking Q eventually gets put with Kallistos instead, who’s one of his besties in canon. He’s also mercilessly, lovingly teased for not being overly subtle by merfolk standards with how intrigued he is by Alyssa’s handler

Estes, a nondescript seal who doesn’t perform atm but ended up taking to one of the employees (Lolo) who was therefore given defacto responsibility of Estes bc she’s so snappy with anyone else. Lolo also happens to be someone that frequently helps train new employees so when Taorna is hired, he also accidentally gets on Estes’ good side. Oops 💕

Mercer, the unreasonably large orca that was brought in who also doesn’t yet perform because they have no one to work with him on it. He’s not quite built for the elegant types of shows they put on anyway, if they ever do a pirate drama he’d make a great sea monster tho.

And Liana, the common dolphin with the yellow ribbon in her hair. Her handler is Ambrose (eyepatch guy) which means she’s almost immediately teased/razzed by the other merfolk for how well the two of them get along. “He’s handsome and kind and -“ “girl please. he’s a HUMAN” but you best believe they are the media darlings and look so cute in their matching costumes

One day I’ll draw them with their humans bc you absolutely have not seen the last of them, I’m obsessed almost to the point of concern, I also need to figure out how to get Betony in here fr. If you thought Mercer towered over them before oh boy

Hi! I got an inquiry regarding my Third Life Gachapon so I want to make a statement for anyone who has the same concerns and such!

This is actually quite common in gacha spaces, especially in the asian side of it. It was brought to my attention that not everyone is aware of this concept, so I want to apologise for assuming so and in return, explain!

Even though there is the option to purchase a bundle in order to get a single guaranteed desired outcome, I understand that some may find it excessive to buy more than needed, and is averse to purchasing a single charm as it's a random outcome.

So I do want to say:

You are allowed to find people in this community who wants other designs from you, and forming a group together that can total up in purchasing all 14 designs. Everyone in the group will make their respective orders, then someone can elect themselves to collect everyone's order number before emailing the list that states which design will be distributed to which order, to me!

This way, it will be possible to get your desired character for the price of one through a collective group effort!

I will briefly write an example under the cut of how this concept works.

Please note that this method should not be confused with the full set bundle discount as this option only applies to those buying the entire set in a single order to a single mailing address.

Feel free to ask any questions if you're still unsure about this!

UPDATE: I currently can't ship to the EU so I apologise to anyone for the inconvenience caused on your pooling plans 😭

Person A wants Joel, Etho, Bdubs and Cleo. Person B wants Ren, Martyn, Bigb, Grian and Scar. Person C wants Tango, Impulse and Skizz. Person D wants Scott and Jimmy. Person A happens to find Person B, C & D through social media, and agreed to form a group since their wants all add up to 14 designs. Everyone will place their own order for the number of charms they want (Person D orders 2, Person B orders 5, etc) Person A will collect everyone's respective order numbers, write down everyone's desired charms beside each order number, then compiles it to a list to email me!

Example email:

Hi! We are a group of 4 people and all of our orders make up to all 14 designs! Here's our order numbers and which designs we want. #RTSN-129686 (Joel, Etho, Bdubs, Cleo) #SPTO-385729 (Ren, Martyn, Bigb, Grian, Scar) #VFJP-275802 (Tango, Impulse, Skizz) #LKMI-406713 (Scott, Jimmy) Thank you!

This post will be updated when the shop is live and I'll explain further on each option's specifics.

Thank you for reading!
