Down to just 1 bag of sofa junk that's hopefully getting picked up by someone on Freecycle later this afternoon

In better news, some new friends!!

🪴 Potted plant emoji review 🪴

Apple: This plant grows gracefully in this beige pot made out of terracotta. The textures of the soil are harmonizing beautifully and so are the green shades of green of the leafs! 8.5/10 Maybe they are a baby.

Google: Planted in a red round pot, this emoji shows a different type of plant, which honestly is a nice breath of fresh air. 7/10

Samsung: I think the colour scheme works fairly well in this type of plant! Could use some water to grown them more and more. The pot is shaded confusingly, like it’s going back and forth, left to right. 7/10 love the amount of leafs.

Microsoft: I won’t hate these buddies. It reminds of a Children book. Do you know the kind of books our teachers used to give for vacation? This emoji is just as nostalgic as them. I think it’s a fairly simple sprout. 5/10

WhatsApp: Curious fact: I have dumbcanes at my house. I absolutely adore this emoji. Because the details are on point and the shading is just incredible. I have heard they are slightly toxic, which creeps me a little bit. 10/10 amazing emoji.

Twitter: Frankly. I love the shades of green that are manipulated to create this emoji. The cell shading makes me feel so-so but sometimes, you got to agree that some simple emojis can look really nice. 7/10 Google’s Look-alike?

Facebook: This emoji is absolutely ADORABLE. They are shaped like hearts. I would give this plant to my SO. These are blessed and I hope they grow until they become an absolutely SHOCKING tree. 11/10 For the win.

Twitter emoji stickers: love the pot’s texture. It looks like a generic 3d model that’s been used on Nintendo switch video games. These are cute and I hope they grow amazingly. 9/10 Love the shading and the smooth feelings.

Joypixels: Sure, there were emojis with a LOT of leafs, but this one took it a little too much. Anyways what’s bad about it? I think the stem is a little gross (I don’t mean disgusting) I like the shape of the leafs as they feel smooth and classy. 7/10 Would put these on my granny’s backyard.

TossFace: A little baby sprout! This is so cute. 2/10 Everything else is a little…. Uh?

Emojipedia: I feel like I have to say a lot of Emojipedia emojis since there are so many problems about them that it sort of annoys me since a lot of them look distorted versions of apple emojis. The plant is weirdly simetrical. It’s honestly a little scary because maybe this cursed plant came from a parallel world that every plant grows differently. The details on the leaf are weird, because the lines are a bit too thick. The center bugs me A LOT. It’s disturbing and dark. It’s like a leaf monster that haunts you at your garden at midnight. The pot is looking shiny, but is weirdly placed. 4/10 the soil is ok though.

Openmoji: A tiny palm tree? 2/10 because it’s as bad as TossFace.

thank you! 💗

I see the click bait sites have found our speculations and turned them into some click bait articles 🙄. I never know if that means anything or not? Seeing as some of their ‘theory articles’ are so crazy wrong it’s laughable! Does that mean we’re crazy wrong? I hope not

Nah it doesn't really mean anything. They'll turn anything into clickbait articles. If you check the emmerdale tag twitter after any ep, you'll see some weird and wild clickbait articles based on maybe three tweets.

I mean there is/was one person who keeps insisting Kim Tate is pregnant (and Graham is the father) and some of the tabloids have picked up on that and "written" articles about it.

And I remember a twitter argument I had with dumbcan ages ago back when we were waiting for the second robron wedding and he posted one of his clickbait articles saying Sally Dexter (Faith) "teased robron wedding" when it was just one throwaway line about the first wedding in an interview about her storyline. I think she mentioned crashing the wedding as one of her first big moments when she first started and that they had fun filming it and then was asked if she wanted to be part of the second wedding too - or something like that.

I wouldn't read too much into the tabloid stuff. The Express especially can come up with the WILDEST shit.

My new pots came in yesterday so a few of these guys are getting new homes this weekend 💕 especially that dumbcane... she needs help

8. Why Won't It Stop

“Watch it!” Ana snaps as someone bumps into her in the tight apothecary space. “...Sorry. Dinnae mean it.”

Bolette side-eyes her but retreats outside without comment. Ana’s been short (don’t laugh) for a while - moreso than her typical pointed remarks.

“You good?” Finch isn’t afraid to call her out, though. Ana appreciates it…usually.

“Dinnae sleep well. S’fine.” Finch is about to say more, but a commotion in the town green demands his attention. So the day goes.

The next one isn’t much better. Ana glares at the sun, once her friend and helpmate, now an annoyance. She shoos all the guild members out to do their ‘dumbcane adventuring, and dunnae come back til you need something!’. The hobling jumps at the way the door rattles against the wall, and nearly comes to blows over poor Nisandra’s questions.

The third day, she sleeps in. Tries to. There’s a knock at her tent door: Thrundar checking in since she hasn’t opened the shop yet. Bless him - or curse him. Ana groans and pulls herself up.

The fourth time of the fourth day that she gasps as heavy footsteps shake the apothecary floorboards, she ends up putting her head down and having a cry… which, naturally, is when Finch takes advantage of his mayor’s key to let himself in.

“What’s wrong, Ana? Are you hurt?”

She can’t answer beside a shake of her head.

“Please, tell me,” the wild elf wraps an arm around her.

“S’ silly. Really, I sh-should be over this by now, s’ been a y-year…”

Finch frowns. “We haven’t even had any elemental attacks in… weeks? Just bandits, and the spiders sometimes.”

“Then wh-why won’t the nightmares s-stop? S’ dumb, I wasnae even out for long… not like you, you’ve died, and you’re fine, an-nd you dunnae like hooks and things but that’s normal to be upset about and the breathing exercises dunnae work when I’m sleeping and the garden place hasnae worked since-”

Finch can only rub her back as she rambles and she’s just. So tired. “Stoppit, told you s’nae worth fussing over. Go save the town or nap in a tree or eat a mushroom, whatever it is you do out in the woods.” Ana scrubs her eyes and straightens her hat. Finch doesn’t need her cowardly faults on his overflowing plate. “I just need a nap. Or elevensies, probably. I’ll go find the menace later and hit him with a mudball or something.” That gets a smile from Finch, despite his concern.

Ana makes another comment about how staying in the apothecary so long wouldn’t help his reputation as a ‘city-elf’ with that shifty new wild elf girl, and pushes Finch out the door.

She doesn’t sleep at all that night.

There are Indoor Plants that Grow in Water without much maintenance. You can grow them in clear vases and jars to use as a centerpiece.

Philodendron In all the philodendron species, heart-leaf philodendron is quite adaptable for growing in water. Keep a 6 inches long cutting in a clear glass jar or bowl in a location with bright indirect light. Don’t forget to change the water once in 3-4 days and it’ll keep growing.

Lucky Bamboo Famous for its forgiving nature, the lucky bamboo is one of the best indoor plants that grow in water. Narrow vases are perfect for this plant, depending on the size. Make sure the roots are submerged in the water and add some gravels around them for firm placement.

Pothos With its glossy heart-shaped foliage, pothos is one more option to go for. Grow it in water, in a clear fishbowl and keep that on a shelf, cascading pothos leaves will look wonderful. Keep changing the water every few days to maintain the right oxygen level.

Chinese Evergreen & Dumbcane With variegated and leathery leaves having a silvery pattern, the dumb cane and Chinese evergreen plant can be grown in water. You can easily propagate the cuttings in a transparent vase filled with small aquarium rocks. After a few months, once the roots appear and become bigger, transfer them in the soil.

Spider Plant Spider plants look quite interesting with their narrow arching foliage and baby spiderettes. You can either grow them permanently in a glass jar or change the cuttings into a new pot, once they root. Keep changing the water every 2-3 days. Check out these indoor spider plant care tips here.

Arrowhead Plant Like other climbers and vining plants, the arrowhead plant is pretty straightforward to grow indoors in water. Keep adding fresh water twice a week and it’ll keep on growing. If you like, transplant it into a potting soil once the cutting sets new roots.

Coleus Having colorful and serrated leaves, coleus will be the most colorful addition to glasses and jars. Since it likes indirect light, you can keep it as a tabletop centerpiece in a wine glass or decorative mason jar filled with water.

Tip: Adding compost tea in the water will enhance their growth.

Wandering Jew Wandering jews are tough plants that grow like a weed in warm climates. The astonishing purple-colored and variegated varieties make them desirable houseplants. The best part is you can grow them in water in terrariums.

Dracaena Many indoor dracaena varieties can adapt to growing in water. Glass jugs and narrow jars are good for them. Just remember to use chlorine and fluoride-free water. Also, never let the water in the jar to become mushy and unclear and keep changing it two to three times a week.

Begonia Like impatiens, growing begonias in water is also possible. You can keep them in a clear bowl for around two months before they start to fade. Don’t forget to change the water every week to save the begonia cuttings from rotting.

Ornamental Sweet Potato Ornamental sweet potato vine in a glass jar will add a tropical touch to your kitchen windowsill. Trim a few 6 to 8 inches long stems just below the leaf node, remove the lower leaves and submerge them half in water. Keep changing the water and it’ll grow.

English Ivy English ivy can your next indoor water garden plant. You can grow its cuttings in vases for a long time. Snip all the bottom leaves of an ivy stem and transfer it into a glass jar and enjoy it on a bright windowsill.

Monstera Monstera is a popular large indoor plant because of its huge cut foliage and stems. It creates a tropical atmosphere in any room. Adding this tall plant can make a huge impact on the interior of any home.

Herbs Not just the houseplants, there are herbs and vegetables that you can grow in water. Some of the best ones are mint, green onions, fennel, basil, and celery.
