Some more for the list, if you don't mind

*rakes leaves in fall "because it looks messy" or "my kids/dog/etc LOVE playing in the raked mounds!! ❤️"

*unsustainable moss (or any plant really but moss especially) foraging

*planting invasive species/seeds in wild areas "for biodiversity"

*using poisons on infestations or local pests like rats and mice

*I got rid of it all, I want some pretty plants (looking at milkweed, bb I'm so sorry)

*I got these wildflower meadow seeds from the garden centre, they help wildlife!! (Not catered to your area or the biome you live in)

Bingo of bad naturalist takes you can fill out when someone's being stupid about wildlife

@cathartidae you asked to be tagged when i posted it well here it is :>

#this is so good #wildlife #animals #nature #environment #the last one... not always their fault but like if you aren't sure or you don't know #please do ask someone #or do some research on the area you live in #no one can judge you for asking questions #but they can judge the actions you take #learning is a process #you're not gonna get it right first time based on assumptions #statistically anyway #join local groups if you have any #there are loads of conservation effort volunteer groups like 20 mins down the road from me #foraging groups etc that teach you everything #take a look around #go learn smth

#i’ve been thinking abt that cringe post #i think the latent feelings behind ‘cringe’ are shame and sometimes envy/bitterness #same vibes as when six year olds say ‘those toys are for babies’ if they’ve been shamed for their age by older kids #anyway. i think part of the healing process is realizing that shame puts you at war with yourself bc part of yourself is a social being!#and that part of you wants community and acceptance (maybe love). shame is the absence of acceptance #unlearning shame means learning self-love and gaining the confidence to find your people #jerma #cw jerma #(someone asked me to tag lol)

#big day for doomed yaoi enjoyers #(me)#i’m never ever doing this again i was screaming every minute coloring this i literally cannot do hard light #biggest case of “trust the process” i’ve ever experienced in my life #also i was gonna originally do a gun instead of knife to keep it canon but i quickly learned i can’t in fact draw guns #a knife is more symbolic anyway. stabbed in the back. yk #(trying to comfort myself that i can’t draw firearms even after eight years of art)#i remember playing this scene for the first time and actually breaking down at 2am bc that betrayal STUNG #i actually had no remorse for akechi after that 😭😭 i actually felt like a sadist for enjoying beating his ass in shidos palace #akechi as a character was specifically designed to make me go through all five stages of grief within a matter of minutes #absolute rollercoaster of emotions #ANYWAY IM FINALLY FREE TIME TO NOT DO ART FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼#persona 5 royal #persona 5 #p5 #p5r #ren amamiya #akira kurusu #goro akechi #akechi goro #shuake #akeshu #lotus draws

I was 14 too when I wrote my first fanfic, a 10k Shaman King mess with OCs made out of my middle school friends. I was already writing non-fanfic then, very awkwardly of course, but this project was the beginning of taking writing seriously, with intent and purpose. And of course, it was bad, it was childish and cringe.

But then it wasn't.

Because a Shaman King messy angsty fanfic led to two or three others, then to shorts novels, then to actual full-on original novels. Because it led me to learn about narrative technique and worldbuilding, to get insanely fast at typing - and okay, I'm never gonna be famous or anything, that was never the point anyway.

Fanfic helped me connect with people who enjoyed what I was doing. It's what ignited the feeling of oh shit I may just have found a piece of me.

AO3 is not a classroom, you're not there to get evaluated. It's not a workplace, it's not a school, it's a platform made for free, unbound, raw artistic expression.

So why would you have a dislike button in a place like this?

People don't write on AO3 to get evaluated, or mocked, or blamed. They're here to share and connect. And you can help them grow with constructive criticisms and advices - seriously, when did a dislike had taught anybody anything?

"i want a dislike button on ao3" so you want less fanfic. even if you don't think you want less fanfic you want less fanfic. because when people start getting dislikes on their fanfic they will want to write less fanfic. hope this helps <3

#shaman king #queer writing #constructive criticism #don't like don't read #Learning is a process #Be fucking nice it's not that hard

Shen Yuan is very special to me bc he’s the type of person who would say “they would NOT fucking say that” to the person who is in fact, in the process of saying that. Binghe is out here trying to confess his love and Shen Yuan is slamming his hands into his ears and yelling ooc.

#Svsss can be summed up by saying it’s the process of SQQ learning that his actions had caused his blorbo to in fact say that.#SQQ is a clown I love him dearly #shen qingqiu #lou binghe #bingqiu #svsss #scum villian self saving system

pathologic 3 announcement made me return to the classic game and finally play it properly! i think my favorite part of the bachelor's route is when he talks to maria kaina (or whoever's in her body at the time) and they explain that their planned Utopia isn’t even supposed to be a 'perfect' place but instead 'the mystical manifestation of a world inscrutable and inaccessible to men' going back to the original meaning of the word irl and instead of despairing Daniil fervently agrees that this kind of unimaginable leap is worth it, no matter where it actually leads

#pathologic #the bachelor #daniil dankovsky #andrey stamatin #peter stamatin #maria kaina #nina kaina #recent interview with dybowski made me kind of apprehensive #because i love the idea of an emotional state as a fundamental game mechanic for the bachelor but #he was very focused on the idea of following the 'teacher' in Simon and in the process learning everything he was meant to learn #despite never really 'catching' the dead guy in his time loops #i feel that the head of the studio is just projecting again #and in a way that old version of the bachelor made back when he was a student in his twenties #could end up seeming more compelling in the end #but we'll SEE #i am still wildly hopeful and hype #my artwork #ALSO anybody who likes the bachelor and reads those rambling tags #you should totally check out blank monk by chekhov #its short

Some folks were asking whether the frames in the new trailer were hand-drawn: yah!

I tape them to my desk and just draw little crosshairs on each so I can line them up post-scanning. I tried to get a pegboard but they were too small ToT Paper for ants...

#slay the princess #indie animation #artistic process #sorry to all animators for the jankiness of my setup #i am learning all this on an eternal deadline lmao #but i am learning!!#i used to not even do the crosshairs and just told myself “i'll know how to line them up right :)”#that was not so

Had the silliest idea while making breakfast.. what if Damian’s Favorite Brother is Tim, but for the Dumbest Reason...pancakes

My idea is that Tim is Damian’s favorite brother, but not for the reasons one might expect. It’s not because of Tim’s skill, his smarts, or his ability to stay three steps ahead in every fight. Nope. Damian’s real reason for favoring Tim over Dick, Jason, or even Bruce is much simpler.

It’s because Tim makes the best pancakes. Like, legendary pancakes.

Not even kidding.

One morning, Tim casually whips up a batch of pancakes in the kitchen—y’know, because Alfred’s off running errands and the rest of the family doesn’t know the first thing about breakfast beyond opening a box of cereal, and Tim's been feeding himself since he was six. So Tim steps up to the stove, and bam—fluffy, golden stacks of heaven.

Damian, who never really cared for breakfast, takes one bite of Tim’s pancakes and is sold. From that moment on, he’s obsessed.

“Drake, you will make me those pancakes again tomorrow."

And Tim just blinks, completely confused, but shrugs it off like, “Uh, sure?”

The next morning, Damian’s right there in the kitchen, bright and early, waiting for his daily dose of pancake perfection. By the third day, he’s even dragging a chair next to Tim, watching like a hawk as Tim cooks, making sure he’s using the right ingredients.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Batfamily is just like, “Really? This is the thing that bonds them?”

Tim, being Tim, just rolls with it. He doesn’t ask questions. If Damian wants pancakes, Damian gets pancakes. He’s just trying to survive his new role as “Pancake Master.”

But Damian? Oh, he’s serious about this.

Damian tells anyone who will listen that Tim is the only one who knows how to make breakfast properly. He’ll give the other brothers side-eye anytime they dare to suggest they could cook for him. Even Alfred raises an eyebrow, but Damian’s already set: Tim’s pancakes or nothing.

What’s even funnier is that when Damian gets pissed off at anyone, he refuses to eat their cooking. But Tim? Untouchable. The one person who can screw up as many times as he wants and still be in Damian’s good graces—because those pancakes? Irreplaceable.

So, while the Batfamily argues over strategy, patrols, or who gets to drive the Batmobile, Damian's priorities are clear:

"You’re all amateurs. Drake’s the only one who makes pancakes worthy of the Wayne name.”

And now, Tim’s been promoted to Damian’s favorite brother for the silliest reason imaginable. But hey, if the key to Damian’s heart is pancakes, Tim’s got that title locked down.

#tim drake #damian wayne #batfam #tim drake and damian wayne #tim makes pancakes like no other #and becomes damians favorite brother in the process #the bats can't deny that tim's pancakes are delicious but like #really? that's what made him the favorite brother?#tim learned to make pancakes from janet who was always an incredible cook #tim has a different kind of pancake batter mix for each of the bats #bruce is traditional with buttermilk pancakes #jason likes banana nut #dick prefers blueberry pancakes #tim makes himself chocolate chip pancakes #damian loves all of tims combinations but his favorite is undoubtedly vegan matcha pancakes #i was making banana pancakes when i though of this can you tell
