Okay so day ?(I forgor) of the spring clean up or whatever it was that I started more than a month ago and got around to finish only today!

The white waterlily flower is in its last day, the second pink waterlily flower blossomed, the bud of the third one is halfway out of the water, and Guenda checked out that everything was in order before I began.

The bigger pot I ordered for the water plantain is actually too big, so it stays in the broken one until I buy another one of the same size. Or I change the iris one with an oblong one, since they tend to grow at the border, and use that one for the water plantain. Or both. I'll see.

I rotated the position of the pots so the water lilies will receive more daylight (I think), planted the water mare's tail and the canadian waterweed, let's see how it goes this time. Now it looks worse for wear but they'll stabilise in a few days. Also the (earth) snails are back trying to feed on the iris and the water plantain so I'll have to deal with them asap.

Bonus pic of a bug I saved from drowning!

Score: pink waterlily 2, white waterlily 2.

I think the frogs might actually be done laying eggs now (the images above were taken ~1wk apart). They started very early this year -- the last week of March is normally when they begin putting eggs in the pond, not when they finish. Regardless, this is a huge amount of eggs for this little pond and I'm excited to see all the tadpoles. The nuclei in the earliest-laid eggs are already starting to chage shape, so things are underway.

My Teen Titans OCs

Not sure why I haven’t posted this until now, but whatever. Fanmade Titans, go!

This is Scorpion. Her real name is Julia Fontaine. She is a member of Titans East.

Scorpion is polite and ladylike, but also sharp-witted, snide, sassy, and kind of venomous. She doesn't like being labeled as anything, and she doesn't like when people assume things about her. She wants to be able to know the full story of things, and to make sure others know it. She believes there's more to things than meets the eye. She seems prim and poised, but she can be carefree and let her hair down. She also really LOVES ballet and practices it in her free time (it's even a part of her costume and her fighting style). After all, even though scorpions are venomous and deadly bugs, they are also quite graceful, and their toxins can be used to help people.

Julia was a beautiful young French-American lady trying to survive school, ballet class and her shallow classmates. Her parents came to the US from Dijon, France, and she lived in Arizona. One day, as she was walking around during a trip to the desert, a genetically modified scorpion viciously stung her. In order to save her life, her genes were fused with a scorpion’s, making her immune to its venom. This gave her her scorpion tail and her current eye color. Scorpion was an infiltrator of the H.I.V.E. Academy, where she played clarinet for the school band and sang second alto in the school choir. After its destruction, she joined Titans East. 

Scorpion's powers are based on venom and poison, and she is immune to venom. She can use her tail like a whip and stun her enemies with a sting. Her hands also can produce a black toxin that can harm any living thing it touches. Thanks to her ballet experience, she's flexible and light on her feet, and she moves gracefully in battle. Her weaknesses include giving in to temptation, being taken advantage of, having trouble with being wrong, and her toxic temper.

Scorpion's voice would sound along the lines of Ellegaard from Minecraft Story Mode.

Melodea and Cadenza are a pair of musically superpowered sisters. Their real names are Elodea Andersson and Cadence Andersson. Melodea has longer hair and a flowy, mostly purple costume. Cadenza has short, swooshy hair and a costume that resembles a marching band uniform. Both of them are autistic.

Melodea is good-natured and helpful. She thinks of others all the time and tries to help them in any way she can. She speaks respectfully to people, staying mindful of their customs. She is also hardworking, knowing there are no shortcuts to success. In most situations, Cadenza will want to be the one in charge. She can get really agitated when someone tries to talk down to her, and like her sister, she can get quite loud. Cadenza is spirited, bold and sweet, and she's good at looking for details. She really enjoys being in the spotlight. Sadly, the sisters sometimes doubt their abilities.

Elodea and Cadence are sisters of Swedish, Italian, and Greek descent. They went to school together in Mississippi. Elodea did very well in her music lessons, but her teachers weren't very supportive of her because they thought she was "too socially challenged." Cadence was learning to play six instruments, but people around her said that she was "too ambitious." The sisters tried to overcome their self-doubt and keep working hard on their musical skills, and when they were at a point when they felt happy with themselves, their music sounded as good as they felt. A certain musical spirit rewarded the girls for putting in effort to believe in themselves. It changed their appearances and gifted them with musical superpowers, allowing them manipulate sound and music in superhuman ways. From this, Elodea became Melodea and Cadence became Cadenza. They still feel uncertain about themselves from time to time, but they do their best to stay up on their feet.

The girls infiltrated the H.I.V.E. Academy together to keep tabs on the organization, but were tasked with giving the students music lessons. Melodea handled their choral department, giving them voice lessons, while Cadenza taught them all to play an instrument. Following the Academy's collapse, the girls are seen going on missions across the country, particularly dealing with sound-related threats. Eventually, the girls earned their status as Honorary Titans. They joined the Titans and several other young heroes in their battle against the Brotherhood of Evil.

Melodea has a very powerful singing voice, a talent she gained from years of practicing. When she sings, her songs can control the emotions of those she is singing to, or otherwise subdue them. She can also manipulate the volume of her voice and lift herself off the ground with sound waves. Cadenza is able to play six instruments: trombone, bassoon, viola, snare drum, keytar and cymbals. She can also control how loud her music gets. The sound that comes from her playing her instruments can knock people backwards and destroy objects, especially glass ones. She can do this even when she isn't playing that loudly. She is more skilled at the keytar, drum and cymbals, as she started learning to play those at an earlier time in her life. Both of the girls are long-distance fighters. Most of the time, they fare best with ranged combat, but Cadenza can also parry with her drumsticks, and Melodea can redirect attacks with a conductor's baton.

The sisters are also able to teach. On a daily basis, Melodea works as a voice teacher and a vocal coach. Cadenza used to fill in for her band director whenever he was out. They are also able to conduct. Elodea can dance a little, but she's much more skilled in singing.

thank you so much for your work compiling concept art and references in one amazingly organized place!!! as an artist i really dont know where i'd be without this account. do you have a tip option anywhere, or another way i could support you?

hi, thank you so so much for this lovely message! i hadn't actually considered this before now, it's really kind of you to offer something like that!!

i've now set up a ko-fi page if you or anyone else want to support me through tips! just to clarify this is completely voluntary and you should only do so if you're financially able to!

Took advantage of the sunlight yesterday morning to take a better look of the plants at the bottom. Water is really really murky and full of new life, too little to photograph though.

Turns out there's even more canadian waterweed than I thought. The good thing with both waterweed and coontail is that if there are too much you can simply yoink a bunch out.

Still not very visible, but hey, we reached surface level, look at that!!! You go little funky invasive aquatic plant!

This pond snail sure is great!! And also in the perfect spot for a photoshoot so I took some INCREDIBLE videos. This is the best one imo.

I have been wanting to draw my D&D group for a while now, but as with everything I needed the spark and over the weekend I got it. Clockwise from top: Craiac the aarakocra paladin, Tropos the air genasi rogue, Elodea the human druid, and Vashti the aasimar bard (my character).

There are reasons for everything being how they are, except for all of us being white haired anime protagonists. Didn't see that one coming.
