I took some of @headspace-hotel 's advice and let a part of my front lawn go unmowed. I chose a spot that, two years ago, was just dry dust. But even though we planted grass seeds and all kinds of fertilizer, the patch is now lush and blooming with everything BUT grass.

I don't even have names for what is growing there; I've only ever known grass. There is some stuff with a bouncy texture that grows outwards more than upwards, and I think it is doing the most water retention. There are some things with long, tall stems and purple pigment in the center of their top leaves, like a proto-flower. And of course there are the vines that bloom white flowers.

The HOA of course mistook this menagerie as weeds and sent a letter wanting to cut it down. So to make it more clear the patch is deliberate, I put a decorative low fence around it.

And as I was installing it, I saw a TOAD. I have never seen that in suburbia before! Our great plains climate is typically too dry. I'd like to think it was because of the uncut patch that the toad found habitable, with more shade and more bugs.

This patch is significant to me now, and I really hope I am not forced to cut it. Something about the absolute fervor of how the plants are determined to grow and life itself to thrive when given the smallest space to do so spits in apathy's face.

Little does Ashton realize, Essek does in fact want to know more about the Hat Man

[sanjiaftersex]

so going without food for long periods of time completely resets (fucks up) your digestion and metabolism and you have to reintroduce food to your system slowly with lighter foods like smoothie juice soup etc and while sanji usually is very knowledgeable about nutrition and diet, do you realize that this particular piece of knowledge came from his own experience with starvation my beautiful precious sanji has suffered so much :(

alright. let’s find out, fit v fit:

reblog for exposure etc but also because i want to know if my hunch is right

Go take a look at this beautiful trove of old SparkSound magazines someone is selling on eBay. For the price they might as well be made out of gold, but the seller's been nice enough to take big, largely readable photos of so many of the issues. Is there a similar digital hoard of scanned versions? I'd love to see more! (I've seen photo pages in full but only snippets of the rest.) The absolute like... raw, sloppy, fanzine chaos of these as as official publications from a major label band is blowing my fucking mind, even if it is just for the fan club. It's literally their mom cutting and pasting and cramming mentions from both Melody Maker and TV Guide onto an A3 sheet of paper, layouts be damned. The apostrophe on her typewriter is broken for a couple issues but she carries on with an asterisk. She's also around 60 by this point and banging this out to an audience of hundreds or thousands like it's a local Kiwanis club newsletter. But she's doing it with gusto, by gum, and it's punk as hell. The best thing about it is that the lack of style is made up for by the absolute top-tier access to the band, and her being surprisingly on top of pertinent details.

For those of you who weren't in a fandom before the internet, those behind-the-scenes photos were like your favorite band's proof of life. There was no Instagram or Twitter, or anything that proved they existed between national TV appearances and touring in your area (besides those mentions in Melody Maker anyway). If you were lucky, your fandom had the capacity to trade videotapes and people in Scranton could see local TV appearances in Los Angeles and vice-versa. If you were really lucky they weren't all copies of copies with potato quality sound and video. Likewise, if you wanted the 12" extended European dance mix of a song with a B-side unavailable in the US, you had to either special order it somewhere and pay through the nose, hope it was in the imports section of a record store (and still pay through the nose), or you had to trade cassettes or burned CDs and hope the other person didn't flake on you. The fact that she's saying "Don't go running to the import section yet, the single will be out on ____ record label on this date with this track listing" is WAY more info than we usually got from our official sources. All "Mary Martin" needed to do for exclusive content was take pictures of her sons on vacation. On one page she's absolutely dunking on Russell them in wry cut-and-paste captions and on another she is the perfect hype man, telling people shows at The Greek Theater are gonna sell out so get your tickets early (but hold your horses on travelling- they're working on Japanese dates for September so you may not need to fly to the US). The personal thank-yous! The CARE! *slams fist on table* If any other band had their mom as the head of their fan club it'd be the most contrived shit in the universe, a complete lie, or both. I fucking love these guys.

Someday I’m going to finish this.

rewatching fantasy high (freshman year) and tbh i don't think i appreciated kristen applebees enough as a character when i originally watched it years ago. like i kinda get the feeling that her arc was meant to be more drawn out but got speedrun by her literally dying and meeting god in the first two episodes and getting SLAMMED into that crisis of faith head-first, and it honestly makes her into both a VERY FUN character to watch and a fascinating one

The things I would do for this man

[atlasascending]

I’m thinking about Callowmoore and about how I feel like one obstacle to them being together is how much Ashton cares about what everyone thinks of them

Hear me out!! We know Ashton is our punk rock, but literally everything they do is about going in opposition to people to be continually seen and respected as rebellious, and I think that DEFINITELY includes his relationship with Fearne

We’ve already seen it with the comment of ‘I’ve always wanted a sister’ amongst other little gestures, and I think that is entirely down to Imogen and Laudna being so not-subtle about their shipping

So yeah, now I’m imagining Fearne coming to terms with her feelings and wanting to pursue them, and Ashton honestly kind of fucking her around a little bit because they’re so self conscious, and Fearne eventually saying something like ‘stop caring about what other people think of you and just do what you want to do, I’m done until you decide what the fuck that is’

I said this in tags but actually I’m going to say this to you directly via ask! Fun asks good.

You are so correct about the shape shifting thing. We are handshaking.

Why choose the power of flight, or the power to breathe underwater, or cling to walls, when you could just have the power to change your shape into one that’s lets you do any of these!

RIGHT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN I don't know why people don't usually agree with me on this it makes so much sense dlkfh;ldkfh the only things beast boy can't do are anything that defy the laws of physics (like walking through walls) or psychic/telekinetic abilities. Other than that the sky is literally the limit for him lmfao actually the sky might not even be the limit because maybe he could transform into a tardigrade to survive space
