Man, I don’t think it will happen, but golly, I would love for Dónal to come to the Broadway version of Hadestown. I would try to go see that. He is amazing!

Oh I wish everyone could see Donal as Orpheus!!! I am still holding out hope he might come back to West End

[eerna]

How are we feeling about Jack Wolfe in Hadestown?

I HAVEEE and I don't think it is a bad casting! I am curious to see what he makes of the role! He js the poorest boyest of any Orpheus I've ever seen

I find it funny that everyone is suggesting you to take a cat because sometimes it's not the answer.

Last year I was coming back home when I saw on the street my neighbour's cat near a mice. THE CAT IGNORED THAT LITTLE MICE AND IT WALKED STRAIGHT INTO THE HOUSE!

Xhdbdbsbybybbs not all cats are hunters, you are totally right there. You gotta get a cat who has had at least some level of experience, or even better, an outdoor cat. Pampered lap cats who haven't been honing their hunter instincts will hardly feel like murder

My sister and I had a mice problem a couple of years ago(neighbors fault!) and the peppermint and lavender oil worked great. We also adopted a cat and haven’t seen them since then. Also try to find the source or any holes. If you are using traps, peanut butter it’s a good bait! Also, when placing any mouse traps, use gloves to not leave any human scent. Human scent on traps keeps them away from it.

Omg that might explain why they didn't get into certain cupboards, we use lavander oil to keep the sheets and towels fresh... Good to know! Thanks for the tips~

it's been over a decade since I first got into FMA and I STILL get shocked at how early The Alchemist's Suffering happens. not even 10 chapters/episodes in, in any format. just the worst thing happening right there at the very beginning huh

Rereading FMA is like yay!! Yippie!! I love these characters so much!! I love this magic system so much!! I love this worldbuilding so much!!! This is all so funny and interesting and foreshadows the themes and plotlines we will encounter later in the story so well!! Then you see the words "The Alchemist's Suffering" and cold ice washes over your spine

Peppermint and eucalyptus oil works great to get rid of mice! Also get a cat, if possible obviously.

Funny you should mention a cat bc we haven't had mice in 25+ years of owning this place... But we always had cats... And last year our cats were poisoned... And wouldn't you know. I'll try the oils, then! Coincidentally the disinfectant I used today smells like eucalyptus...

I have spent the last 10 days fighting the biggest battle of my life. a battle against mice. I had a mouse infestation and tourism season means neither exterminators nor cleaning services want to give me the time of day. and I have a phobia of mice. I have never felt more stressed, murderous, or hateful towards overtourism

I always wanted to ask if you have any piece of media from your country that you like. Any recommendations?

I don't really like Croatian books or audiovisual media (except a couple kids' movies, shoutout to Duh u Močvari). However. I love late 20th century/early 21st century music. Novi fosili is an ABBA-style band that is so close to my heart. Ex-Yu rock is pretty regionally diverse, so to make it easier here's a few playlists of all across the region and not just Croatia (special shoutout to Kiše jesenje, Previše suza u mom pivu, Lovac i košuta, Ako su to samo bile laži, Od mora do mora, Ne spavaj mala moja, and Ne zovi mama doktora). We call 90s-early 10s Croatian hits "trash", it is a must have on all parties, and it slaps (shoutout to Hajde da ludujemo, Dalmatinka Tek je 12 sati - WHICH IS LITERALLY PLANET OF THE BASS, Linđo, za tvoje snene oči, Oči boje kestena, Tamo gdje je sve po mom, Marija Magdalena, Moje prvo pijanstvo, p much everything from Toše Proeski but especially Još i danas zamiriši trešnja which technically isn't Croatian but I lose it every time, Kao da me nema, Volim osmjeh tvoj, Lagala nas mala, Italiana, Moja štikla, Jutro donosi kraj, Dolje na koljena, Vukovi umiru sami, Brodolom, and Raj i pakao which is Rasputin but even cuntier). I don't like contemporary Croatian music, it's mostly trap and bad rap and I am annoyed at it. I am planning on getting into some alt stuff bc no way did we suddenly just lose the crazy talent we had up until like 2012, there MUST be good music hiding somewhere.

how did you create such a big audience/following on social media as an artist? I find it really hard personally, to the point I just blame it on my art skills 😅

Honestly, it was mostly just luck. I have been at it for over a decade, so things add up. Most of the time it was only a matter of blogs more popular than me reblogging me. Sometimes it was fandom famous blogs, sometimes the Tumblr radar. I also made a name for myself in several small-medium fandoms, as in I posted a lot of fanart and became people's go-to fanartist for that fandom. So don't stress it - unless your art is so fantastic there are no people who can resist it, your skills have something to do with your follower count, but not much! Don't worry about the numbers and just vibe.

i just finished sotr and i was wondering if you have any new opinions on it now that it’s been a while since it came out? idrc if they’re positive or negative. i just wanted to ask bc your posts made me realize tbosas is also my favourite hunger games book

Hi! A new development over the past few months is that going into the THG tags is pretty much unbearable to me now. The discourse surrounding the book is so riddled with recency bias and misunderstanding what words mean that I just have 0 patience for it all. I think TBoSaS was the prototype for SotR's issues, but it was leagues better and a much more competent story. I think SotR absolutely singled out District 12, and Katniss herself, as the Chosen Ones for the Revolution. I think Suzanne Collins repeating her message over and over again with all the nuance of a hammer is a bad thing actually and not at all necessary because "audiences are misunderstanding her". I think the book could have been a short story were it not for the sweet sweet call of money. It is like the Cruella movie in book form. And it is FINE to enjoy it, it is FINE to have fun with it, but gaslighting everyone into believing it is somehow the most nuanced and best written book of the series is wild

Crazy people are looking at a manga which from day one is saying the military committed genocide of a minority group and the sympathetic characters within it are all flattened by the guilt and shame of realising they were complicit and are doing their best to dismantle the system in any way they can and say hmm that is pro-military because (?) it has characters we are meant to root for in the military

Yeah, I think the misunderstanding comes from the belief that all media about oppression written from the POV of the oppressor is bad, but I seriously cannot see that applying to FMA. It is an unashamed exploration of who and in what circumstances is capable of committing atrocities, and it's a vibe that purity-and-cancel-culture-brained audiences don't really like
