Interesting 1988 home in Hudson, OH. Look at the swirling chimneys and the tower. They don't show much of the 5bd, 5ba, 6,805 sq ft home, but they show enough to get the idea. Looks like they're doing work inside, but it's hard to tell. Judging by the exterior, this could be a stunning home, though, and the asking price of $1.595 is probably a bargain.

This is odd- they cemented over the niche above the hearth and removed the mantel, plus they also blocked off the firewood storage. And, they didn't do a neat job, either.

They took the photos at weird angles, like they're trying to hide something. This must be the center hall. It has some narrow balconies, lovely millwork, but what's up with the odd railings in the first photo- looks like sticks w/rope.

The wood stain in the kitchen matches the other wood in the house, but it's a dated style. Very 70s, especially the ceiling and the design on the cabinet doors.

Beautiful family room on the upper floor. It has great Gothic windows and beams in the pitched ceiling. Plus, there's a stone fireplace.

I wonder why they put turned spindles in the beams, though. Decorative purposes?

Beautiful marble fireplace and window seats in the primary bedroom.

Check out this marble bath. It looks like they removed a mirror and light fixture above the sinks, though. Look at the small storage cabinet above the shower- what would you keep up there?

I'm assuming that they left the 3 giant geodes for the new owner?

Then, this is a smaller room, similar to the family room.

This home is stunning.

Look at how beautiful it is surrounded by the green trees in the summer. And, you can even go out on the terrace around the turret.

Plus, it comes with 20.40 acres of land.

Rocks and Flowers

Obsessed!Bo Sinclair x fem!reader

This story gives me cottage core vibes

Tw: foreshadow of him murdering those from your life

*******************

Bo brushed out his cigarette and leaned against the base of the tree, his dark blue eyes studying your every move, noting every little thing that made you smile in the garden of roses and lilies. In the summer dress and flower crown adorning your hair, you looked like some fairy from a story he heard. He only smiles softly to himself as he was about to light another cigarette. It’s not that he’s nervous; he liked how the smoke at the end of the bud twirls around you like wisps of fog and fire. He would give anything to draw like his brother to capture this moment to memory.

As the sunset behind you, dipping into the marsh and willows, his breath was taken from his lungs. You were a marble block, and he felt like the carver, seeing the beauty you held under untouched skin. But he wouldn’t break you. He wouldn’t dare raise his hammer or chisel to set you free for all the world to see. You were his masterpiece, his treasure, his and his alone—

“Bo!” You called over like a song, snapping his thoughts. You held a small bouquet of wild lilies and a mixture of yarrow in your hands like some bride. Your smile broke him, and he wasn’t made. “Bo, I found a stream! I think it has geodes!”

There you go again without even knowing it. He dropped his cigarette, his hammer and chisel, and came towards you, his perfect love inside a hidden valley of rocks and flowers. He walked upon the graves of broken bones and sailors who will never speak of you again.

As he stood in front of you, you reached up to place a small flower crown over his hat, and he smiles warmly. The oil on his hands the was mixed with dry blood faded as he held you by your waist. What a way to waste a sunset. What a way to waste a day of sunshine. Even the smell of you drove him above madness but he’ll never show you. He’ll never tell you.

things that remind me of the nerdy prudes

(because like two people reblogged this one i did forever ago for the losers and i forgot how fun these are)

grace:

getting veggie tales songs stuck in your head as an adult, knee socks, eating all your broccoli, sparkly butterfly clips, watching sunlight glint off a lake through the treeline, guinea pigs, friendship bracelets off a water bottle, being secretly glad when someone you don’t like turns out to be a bad person, a bunch of cellophane candy wrappers crinkling at the bottom of your purse, being a little too into archery at summer camp, pastel bible highlighters, banana pancakes, tying way too many ribbons around the advent wreath, leggings under dresses, daydreaming about how you’d escape if you ever got kidnapped, strawberry ice cream, roller skating with almost too much protective gear on, cloud gazing, obvious family secrets that everyone refuses to tell you, feeling weirdly guilty for ordering your steak rare, bringing too many swaps to girl scout camp so you can trade with everyone, asking a new friend for their email address, long denim skirts

steph:

really dry liquid lipstick you bought in your freshman year of high school but refuse to throw out, 24 hour diners, typing in all lowercase but never actually changing the setting in your phone, listening to music you hate but gaslighting yourself until you enjoy it, really dark purple nail polish that looks black, collecting crystals even though you don’t really believe in them, saying your team bella (but secretly being team jacob), getting mad your vape was confiscated at your high school graduation, one million rings, coffee ice cream, tinfoil in a microwave, exclusively wearing sports bras, shoplifting, pink monster, thinking cigarettes are really hot, never wearing a jacket even if your cold, penny boarding, drinking four loko, regretting four loko, refusing to put your hair up even when you really should, kuromi, half fallen down led lights, playing your mom’s old guitar, sour skittles

pete:

planetariums, being overly competitive at board games, ginger ale, using a chapstick until it runs out, really liking marshmallows, really liking hot chocolate, hating marshmallows in your hot chocolate, buying a bunch of cool notebooks and never using them, forever dm, pretending you didn’t find asdf movies as funny as you actually did, m&ms, freezing cold hands, hand-me-down sweaters, only ordering chicken fingers and french fries, being intrinsically trusted by cats, carrying a clarinet to school every day, skipping episodes of next gen if they don’t feature data, praying on the first day of school that your teachers didn’t have your older sibling, transition glasses lenses (that you absolutely regret), dry krave cereal, secretly finding most museums really boring, grow-your-own-geode science kits, wing tip tap shoes, messenger bags, only doing extracurriculars that look good on college applications

ruth:

your comfort gay newsies fanfiction from middle school, being jealous of your younger sibling, those phone cases with glitter and charms floating in water, team edward and team jacob, wishing you hadn’t quit dance, buying fun jewelry and never wearing it, being devastated your hair is too dark to dip dye in kool aid, sticky lip gloss, painting every nail a different color, self sabotage, crushed velvet scrunchies, the grease soundtrack, wanting to be a rockette when you grew up, never learning how to do make up, begging to do figure skating as a kid, begging to do beauty pageants as a kid, begging to do cheerleading as a kid, turquoise braces bands, sinclair gas stations, showing up to an audition that you didn’t realize had a dance call, dunkin’ donuts munchkins, squirrel girl comic books, one half of a best friend necklace you wore longer than you should have

richie:

trying to get the marble out of a ramune bottle, wearing big headphones 24/7 (even if they aren’t playing anything), staining your best friend’s bathtub blue with hair dye, sour patch kids, enamel pins, discord calls across like three different time zones, the charlie bone book series, getting in trouble for drawing in class, being the friend with a car but also being a terrible driver, a pokémon card binder, that one kid who was really, really good at cup stacking, wearing shorts in the middle of winter, thirty-nine minute long voice memos, being exceptional at claw machines, vocaloid songs, your pet parakeet hanging out on top of your head, that one vaguely traumatizing round of the pocky game from seventh grade, regularly broken duolingo streaks, getting in trouble for bringing a real katana to your freshman year halloween dance

Hermes

Hermes’s altar has some new additions! I mainly got then because i wanna bring something from each altar with me to college that i won’t lose, and since candles aren’t allowed i got him something else, so now he has:

A shell kinda shaped like a bowl with a pearly charm, two pink paper stars, and a tiny rose charm in it

Her offering bowl, a teacup, saucer, and spoon shaped like a flower, leaf, and ladybug respectively that was a graduation present from a friend!! While they’re not quite Aphrodite’s style, she still likes them on her altar because they were a symbol of platonic love!!

Do you have any Limestone Pie x fem!s/o headcanons?

Sure thing!

Limestone Pie x Female Reader headcanons

• Firstly, expect Pinkie to literally never shut it about your wholesome "mares-only" relationship to Marble and the others. Not that you mind it too much compared to Lime :3

• Her parents meanwhile were surprised she found someone without the rules of their "pairing stone", but still support you even if they don't show it.

• She rarely gives affection if you two are in public or working on rock mining with the Pie family, but don't worry she still shows her own way of loving you!

"Alright jeez, we're nearly done with this one! You can let go of my hoof now, n-not that you have to later.."

• She honestly didn't expect to get a marefriend after spending months being jealous of what Maud and Mudbriar have. But she still loves you nonetheless and won't hesitate to tease over the fact you're both mares :)

• She doesn't get much chance to leave the farm due to her literal engagement with work and family, but she tries her best since she loves going to rock and roll concerts with you!

• Quick pecks on the cheek whenever she's pleased with you are all you'll get in public, but when you're both alone expect the matresses in her sisters' room to be bent from the steamy makeouts she pays you back with :3

"Alright finally, I'm gonna rock your world for what you put me through you damn geode~"

[justanotherbirdbrain-blog]

may i receive your rant on why every videogame ever chooses to have columnar basalt in places basalt should not be, like in unsuspecting caves or just dotting beaches with no volcano in sight... because god, that gets me going.

Let me preface this rant by saying, I love when videogames at least try, like I can look at a rock and actually say, "hey that's columnar basalt and not *generic rock texture*" (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's texture shortened my lifespan). So generally speaking, if I can tell at least vaguely that someone googled photos of rocks when creating a game I am more happy than not, but!

My GOODNESS! I think I could extend this rant to just videogame cave systems in general! Like, caves are only formed in limestones and marbles (And some limey sandstones and salt deposits), BUT for some reason we are mining and finding Rubies? Emeralds? Metals? These caves they are depicting are clearly just supposed to be these natural caves and not abandoned mines, which would give them some leeway to put whatever desirable gemstone or ore they wanted in the game, but they don't choose that for some reason, and it is beyond me why!

And can we talk about how all of these caves got there in the first place? Like limestone only forms in marine environments! Are you telling me that the entire continent you designed was underwater to the extent to have a spiraling cave system forming at least every ten miles of trail explored (Skyrim I am looking at you)? And how acidic is your rain? Are we experiencing an industrial evolution? I CANNOT, also in what situation are these random massive quartz crystals in otherwise fine-grained material forming? Like one, Who would actually leave that laying there? No one. And two, how is this forming? Like are you trying to say this formed after the cave was created or what? If that's the case the more likely mineral would be calcite or gypsum.

My little bird brain can't wrap my head around what they are trying to do here! (The second image is from ESO and I give it a lot of lenience and to be fair they are trying to depict these are geodes that are surrounded by a massive basalt but they are also showing stalactites and stalagmites which aren't in basalts so it still gets points docked).

But yes! Seeing inaccurate geology, columnar basalts included can take you out of a game so fast, same with the imaginary ores that are kind of based off real metals. I think I would be more ok with completely fake names, because then at least I wouldn't have anything to associate it with.

That being said! I will end this rant by pointing out videogames that when either I was playing or my fiancé was playing I was pleasantly surprised by the geology/accurate textures.

ESO- elder scrolls online, I know I just docked it points above, but genuinely they do an amazing job depicting different rock types to the point that on their islands they have limestones. with. fossils. I nearly cried. Of course they still have random metal seems everywhere but it is an MMO and resources are necessary so I can ignore that as long as they keep making accurate landscapes.

Titanfall- I will just add an image because it will speak volumes

like does that shale/siltstone have ripple marks in the middle right hand side? beautiful. amazing. perfect. chief's kiss. (Apex also does a decent job which is a battle royale game that takes place after the Titanfall games, the textures aren't as good obviously but you can definitely tell what kind of rocks are at each map)

3. Horizon Zero Dawn- the graphics in this game are just genuinely impeccable and it takes place in the US but after the collapse of civilization. In a lot of ways, I think it made it a bit easier for the designers, but they still did an amazing job depicting the rocks accurately! I believe there is a Youtube video which compares the actual locations to the videogame locations.

some obviously tilted sedimentary rocks

sandstone arches

@cosmic-tuna please add more games if you know any!

🌌  — starry night!      for a headcanon about a piece of artwork (or an artist) that my muse adores. alternatively, a piece or artwork (or artist) who’s aesthetic fits my muse and why.

💎  — precious stones!      a headcanon about my muses favourite precious gem, or geode, and why it is their favoured one. if they don’t have a favourite one, what is one they despise, and why?

💤  — sweet dreams, beautiful nightmares?      for a headcanon about my muse and their applicable nocturnal experiences, as well as their general relationship with sleep.

Dr. Gemma doesn't really know much about art, classic or otherwise, but her favorite work that she adores is the Pieta. She calls it the most perfect marble statue ever made. Too bad it's only in Vatican City and currently behind bulletproof glass, she'd love to see it in person.

Gemma is partial to her birthstone, the opal. She has some opal earrings at home that she bought for herself on her birthday, but hasn't worn them (her ears aren't pierced). But her absolute favorite is the sapphire. She really connects to deep blue colors, so she can't help but admire blue gemstones like the sapphire.

As a very busy woman, Gemma often finds little time to sleep, but when she does, she's out like a light in seconds. In-between counseling kids, taking care of kids, taking care of toys, keeping company secrets, bottling up her own thoughts and emotions, watching the world go by without her, etc, sleep is one of the few times she has a quiet mind.

Bonus sleep headcanon: After the Hour of Joy, you might find Gemma asleep most of the time. It's one of the few ways she can escape the pain she's constantly in.

Making Fun of Rich People Round 2

This one's a little bit different. This house is in Arizona, listed for a clean 20 mil, eight bedrooms ten baths, 16,000 square feet. The outside is really nothing special, looks like every other southwestern wanna-be movie star mansion so let's

Kicking things off with a bang.

You know. I can't even say anything bad about this. Like, the other house, they were people who clearly had more money than taste and built their house as a shrine to their bank accounts. It was not meant to live in, but to prove their wealth. It was ridiculous and stupid and they deserved to be made fun of.

These people. These people know their house is ugly. They know that table was an obscene waste of money. They know that couch screams "my coke dealer was redecorating." They do not care. They love bringing people in and watching their expressions of horror. They rub their hands together gleefully as people try to think of a compliment that isn't too obviously pulled out of their ass.

I mean, come on. That green chandelier, they're absolutely trolling us.

And I'm going to be honest, this looks like a living room I'd actually feel comfortable hanging out in. I can see someone on that couch eating ice cream out of the carton at 3 AM. People sit on that rug and play board games on that table. These people furnished their house to live in, not to display.

I am still going to tease them about it, however.

I'm laughing with them, not at them.

Is it just the angle or does that bed seem super short?

I...don't even know what I'm looking at here. I think this is the closet?

No, okay, they have a whole mall outlet store in here. This is like that one scene in Princess Diaries 2 except Julie Andrews would politely show herself out.

Why the marble. Why do you need a sitting area in your closet.

I will admit, I'm disappointed that the owner of such an interesting house has this many black pumps. I get that they go with everything, but-that's the point. They're universal. You don't need over a dozen of them. I expected better shoes.

Nobody:

Rich People: "make the bathroom...ROUND."

fr, their insanity always seems to come out full-force in the bathroom. I legitimately think rich people might not poop or bathe, because it's always some crazy shit that would be incredibly uncomfortable or downright impossible to use.

Another thing I've noticed, rich people all seem to want bathroom doors that open to the outside. Why?!

Especially when this is the outside they're opening up to!

Seriously, what is the point of this?! You're buck naked and decide to go have a smoke next to some cactuses and your giant patio geode. That's all that's out here. Why. Why.

Actually, it looks like there's little paths, which...just makes this worse, honestly. Imagine you're taking a leisurely stroll through the cactus garden and you pass your parents' bathroom patio, getting a full view of your mom taking a bath through the floor-length windows.

"Yes, in our dining hall with the light fixture that looks like birthday sparklers and our collection of Totally Real cactuses."

I've seen designers rag on those unfinished wood tables before, and while I didn't really agree with them at the time I kind of do now. I think this would look cool as like, a side table or accent table, but on a dining table it's just kind of awkward.

This is the same room, they just kept panning out.

While I made fun of the other house for their grand piano, I have no doubt that someone in this family is a drug-fueled musician. This room looks mega-comfy to lay back and watch a movie in, and I love the sheep.

I'm just...in awe of the audacity.

They didn't even try to match. Didn't even pretend like they cared. And I'm not gonna lie, the red countertop is doing something for me.

"When we want the bugs to join us for dinner."

I can't stress this enough, they have multiple patio sets.

See, the last people didn't show off all their alcohol at their bar because they thought it looked more refined not to. These guys probably have art supplies tucked away in their bar just to keep you on your toes. (they don't need a bar, these are the kind of people who carry flasks around with them)

So like...objectively, this bathroom is hideous. It's way too much, the feather thing is ridiculous, that cabinet is ugly as sin.

But I kind of love it?

Just a reminder: this is in Arizona.

...I have nothing to say here.

WHAT IS UP WITH RICH PEOPLE AND THEIR UGLY BATHROOMS?!

Again with the doorway to the outside! And I see this a lot, but so many rich people bathrooms don't have storage spaces?! Like, look at those sinks. What.

More to my theory that rich people don't have any need for bathrooms.

This is the bedroom I wanted as a thirteen-year-old and just now realized I still do.

THE WALLPAPER IS EVEN BIRBS!

Like, I can't even make fun of this. I am just in awe. This entire house looks if sixth grade me had access to the Sims 3 Create-A-Style and the motherlode cheat, and I honestly love that for them. I hope these people find a new house to be extremely fucking cool in.

Leaving with these calming lemons in the backyard! Pay no attention to all the bathrooms that open up directly to the garden.
