I bought some things at a local Oddities Expo back in September 👀 triiiiiinnnkkeeetttss and beeeetttllleeesss
She has been struggling:( Her motivation for being an adult and participating in school have dwindled. The existence of seasonal depression is so uncool >:[
Side note: Sometimes, I talk about myself in third person because I always try to speak kindly of others when talking about them. It helps to talk about myself as if I’m talking about someone else, if that makes sense :)
[Start Image 1 Description: A business card, two stickers and two display beetles in small clear resin blocks, sit on a black background. One sticker is a hand drawing of a jar with a tag that says “Starlight Decay”. In the jar there is a small light on the underside of the lid, shining down into the jar, a moth sits on a twig and a bird skull rests on the bottom of the jar. The second sticker is a colorful illustration of a shiny beetle that is primarily golden brown and has a red face. One clear resin block contains a shiny brown and gold beetle. The other clear resin block contains a shiny green beetle. The Business card reads:
Startlight Decay

[Start Image 2 Description: A single, small, light colored baby doll leg, and two colorful trinket earrings lay on a black background. The earrings have many colors and geometric shapes wrapped in a golden lining.

Update:
I still love the beetle very much (it’s my favorite color after all). I love it so much that when I visited a science museum a few days ago, I made a cardboard craft inspired by the beetle:)
(My friend made the very cute dragonfly).


I saw a rather large beetle (compared to the other beetles I see) on the sidewalk when I went to work yesterday morning. I checked on it a few times after I found it. It moved a bit throughout the morning and then it was gone.
I really liked seeing it and I thought it was very pretty. I took some pictures of it:)
I guess I liked it so much, I was inspired to write poems about it before bed last night/this morning 😂 I hardly remember writing them.
I love the beetle.




The poem says:
Beetle
Hello little friend
I met you on the sidewalk
So little and green
You sit “in the way”
I believe I am in yours
I apologize

I love that I'm can always still find out about cool animals that I never knew existed. Like today I learned that brush-tailed porcupines exist and straight up look like giant rats with spines

Proper Care & Feeding for your Goblin Partner
Goblins need a balanced diet of 462 snacks per day. While your Goblin may also partake in "meals" it is essential that they have steady access to foods they can haphazardly shovel into their mouths.
Put a tiny, domesticated creature, like a cat or a snake, or a slightly larger creature like a dog or a horse, near your Goblin. They will be delighted. Expect shrill squealing.
Goblins need piles of Soft things to cocoon in periodically. To preserve their strength.
If your Goblin is hydrophobic, as many are, you will need to periodically prod them into the shower. Be Very Careful. There is a very high Bite Risk during shower prodding.
If your Goblin is the hydrophilic variety, you may need to periodically remove them from showers (or streams, lakes, big puddles, etc.) Be Very Careful. There is a very high Bite Risk during shower removal.
