#also I am easily influenced

Reasons I should not be allowed on the internet:

I stumble upon purple things and then I want to buy them. Even if they are ridiculous

I am so obsessed with this tik tok dress that I spent nearly an hour searching for it and cheaper look a likes. But the real thing is 700 dollars and The best dupe was still over 300 and not as cute. And like I super don’t need a prom dress. But like I COULD make use of a super fun 30th birthday dress and my house is basically butterfly themed already…. But not for 700 dollars. Sadly.

But a purple a waffle maker that makes heart shaped waffles with a space for sticks?? For only 30 dollars?? That one I may actually get. I would probably only use it like once a year but it would be perfect for galentines with my chocolate fountain, and I do have the storage space. So that one may be a birthday present to myself.

Constantly torn between I need to stop spending money on ridiculous things and make a good salary and I can buy some of the fun things I want.

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

@sithfox you caught me at a bit of an inopportune moment (for me and my heart, that is) because the last damn thing I worked on is... well, i jokingly call it the 'blood cave fest'

and i think the only thing you really need to know about it is that i am trying myself on E and also my blood kink came through full force (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)

because of all of that, I'll be putting it under the cut

introducing...eden louise “edie lou” ferraro 

gen 1: aries for the another zodiac legacy challenge by @acuar-io

since childhood, seeking out attention was a constant in eden louise ferraro’s life. her parents didn’t engage with her, rarely made her feel wanted. so she became the type of person who would seek out any attention, positive or negative. she’s a needy girl with an almost pathological desire to be noticed. of course, her hot-headed temper and mean attitude (that especially rears its head when eden feels vulnerable) make it difficult to maintain friendships, let alone romantic relationships. 

after making the move from sandy oasis springs to the spice district of san myshuno, eden decided she’d get the attention she so desperately craved by any means necessary. now an internet personality with aspirations of becoming fabulously wealthy, eden louise - self nicknamed edie lou - spends her days: 

trying to turn her social media career into fortune

cuddling and dressing up her bby chihuahua, clover (bites)

gaming, streaming, vlogging

keeping it tight to flex on social media 

seeking out validation in the form of romantic relationships and/or money

&& generally oscillating between being an overly attached lover and a messy gal ;)

what appeals to you most about being a crocodile?

what a lovely ask!

there's a lot of things. for one, i've always felt a connection to water, especially deep water like the sea. some of my best memories have just been chilling in the sea for a couple hours. though i can't do that a lot, so on a more daily basis, croc behaviour. it is difficult for me to connect with others, but i really enjoy hanging out with my friends, which definitely translates to basking with them in my mind. crocs are chill and non-committed, which i resonate deeply with, except that i'd go any length for my buddies :}

unnamed kitty cat wip worldbuilding

hey gamers it's time for me to talk about the kibbies

not sure who to tag but uhhh if you wanna hear more about the kibbies. this is your one-stop shop for that.

so the basic premise for this world is that it's another post-apocalyptic fantasy, this time one focusing on animals. specifically cats, but other animals probably have their own shit going on and would make appearances now and then.

anyway, this story focuses on three colonies of cats (i've gone back and forth between calling them clowders and colonies, but for now i'm going with colonies) living in the remains of what was once a bustling coastal city. there are still humans alive and around in this world, but they've long since abandoned this place and the cats don't really know what humans are. the city isn't full of just cats, though--it's also full of monsters, which the cats struggle to live alongside.

these cats, with time, adapted to their environment and circumstances to become, as i affectionately call them, funky little freaks. the obvious difference is that they're intelligent enough and sentient enough to form their own little societies, but there's more! we'll get into that.

so what are each of the colonies? more info on them under the cut! it's important to note that these are by and large generalizations about each group, and there are exceptions to everything i say in here.

cadogan colony

the cadogan colony is a group of cats living near the docks, in an area that was once a bustling shipyard. they're incredibly skilled at both swimming and fishing, as one might guess, but there's a catch to that: the water where they are is INCREDIBLY toxic and highly acidic. it's not safe to swim in for most creatures. however, these absolute mad lads do so anyway.

cadogan cats have evolved over time to have a strong resistance to the poison in their waters, as well as to the high acidity in the water. they're not completely fine swimming for long periods of time, but they can tolerate it much better than anyone else.

another thing that makes cadogan cats stand out is that, even among the smart funky cats in this world, they're VERY smart little beasts. one thing they've become very skilled at is determining which fish are safe to eat, and which ones are too full of toxins. even if they have a strong resistance to most poisons, they're careful to avoid ingesting too much of it directly.

and finally, cadogan cats have developed some physical mutations, most notably a very thick, water-resistant coat, thick tails to help them steer in the water, and webbed feet to help them swim. also, they have third eyelids like alligators. little freaks (affectionate).

haverford colony

the haverford colony is a group of cats living near the outskirts of the city, on the opposite side from the cadogan's. they specifically live at the edges of a swathe of forest, making their homes in the branches and occasionally venturing out and into the city for one reason or another. however, they usually stay there.

they tend to be large yet light, with strong legs and prehensile tails that make it easy for them to climb and keep their balance in the trees. haverford cats are usually built like. just absolute powerhouses. getting smacked by a haverford cat will ruin your day. they have a weirdly high bite force for cats, and in general just. they are built for living in the trees and fucking up anything that tries to fuck with them.

in terms of culture, haverford cats have a strong culture of honor and respect. they believe that it's important to always fight fair, especially against other cats, and that all life deserves to be respected and defended. they're BIG on defending those who can't defend themselves and just. honor. respect. strength. being a good person (kitty). those are all big here.

the forest is full of big scary monsters, and the haverford cats pride themselves on fighting back these beasts and keeping them from getting into the city. really, they're the first line of defense against the Forest Horrors in many ways, and this culture of strength is reinforced by that.

maddox colony

the maddox colony is the only one that lives in the city itself, mostly near the edges but occasionally venturing deeper inside. these cats tend to be small and scrappy, built for hiding among the rubble and debris more than fighting in the open. for the most part, maddox cats are incredibly crafty and resourceful, using their environment to their advantage.

combat against what? the horrors <3 there are a lot of monsters in the city limits, many of which are specifically located near the heart of the city. maddox cats are frequently caught in fights against them, and they've adapted to fighting for their lives in close quarters on a near daily basis.

while haverford cats have a culture of honor and respecting one's enemy, maddox cats are just willing to do whatever they have to to survive. they help each other however they can and have strong bonds and loyalty to each other, but they don't extend any of that to the monsters they fight. it's kill or be killed, and maddox cats would prefer the former.

in terms of physical mutations, maddox cats really are little freaks (affectionate). namely, their forepaws are more similar in structure to little hands than little paws, and they have opposable thumbs. they're not human hands, not that far, but they're fully capable of grabbing objects and using tools. maddox cats are excellent at crafting, mostly making items for defense against the monsters.

--

misc. notes:

the different colonies have a loose alliance with each other and will help each other in their time of need, but for the most part they're focused on themselves.

there are no rules against interbreeding in the colonies or breeding with cats outside the colonies. why would you care about that when there's monsters everywhere? come on now.

the colonies also have different religious beliefs for the most part, but i will admit i haven't put a lot of thought into that element yet.

yes, these cats say fuck. maddox cats swear the most and haverford cats swear the least.

there is a thriving trade/bartering economy going on among the colonies, primarily consisting of the maddox colony trading for food with the other two in exchange for the cool gadgets they make.

the maddox aren't super technologically advanced, but they're pretty smart and use what they have to great effect.

on that note, kitty mobility aids do exist in this universe. north is going to have a leg brace eventually, made for them by maddox cats.

omg so many thoughts on paradox killer

[brazilian-whalien52]

I mean you can say whatever about the color theory analysis @respectthepetty does, but I just remembered that last year i was dating a boy that loved red, his to go color was always red. When I started dating him I slowly started to buy more red things, i never used red before, to me it was such a strong color and my favorite were blue. Idk it always remember me of him. It come to a point where my graduation dress was completely red, together with nails and accessories.

no like when I say any answer on the queerest city poll that’s not San Fran is wrong I mean it is factually and historically WRONG

[ultimateaclrecovery]

I fully fell victim to Instagram suggestions. I can’t even say it was an ad though because the shirt the girl was wearing (first on the left) was not linked and was actually sold out 😂 but I decided I had to have it anyway, so found it on postmark but it was a little too big and gaps funny. It was an xl, but the listing said fits like s/m so decided to try it and it works but was a little off.

So I also got a different version in white to try that fits way better, and then got the pink one cuz it was on clearance for 3 dollars and I think it’s my favorite.
