The cherry tree I planted in front of the greenhouse blossomed for the first time this spring! A round of applause!

The wind always blows from the valley so I planted this tree strategically so that in spring a delicious smell would be delivered in my living-room through the windows, and around the outdoor table where I work, and it worked :) I estimate that it improved my quality of life by 11%. A light spring breeze carrying a cherry blossom smell is the kind of thing that stops me in my tracks ten times a day and makes me close my eyes and take a deep breath and think oh, life is good.

More tree updates: I talked in this post from 2021, then this one from 2022, about how I hoped to plant a 'fruit tree path' in the woods behind my house—this project is still ongoing and, well, hasn't borne fruit yet, but has finally blossomed. My Fruit Alley now boasts 10 trees, and looks like—what it is, a small opening in the woods that I have to deploy heroic and sustained efforts to keep open, because the woods try to reclaim it year after year, patiently, like a slow green tide.

The white thing in the middle is one of the tarps I've been using to smother brambles, I move them every few weeks and it works pretty well. I also use cardboard, but in the spring it's hard to keep up with the sheer rate of growth everywhere. Of course the main enemy is the army of broom that you can see in the distance, all yellow and cheerful-looking at the moment. I mostly fight them in the winter, every year I manage to push them back a few metres...

Here's a photo where you can better see some of the trees :

In total I have planted 2 apple trees, 1 quince tree, 1 mirabelle plum, 3 red plums, 1 nectarine tree, 3 cherry trees. I'm really glad that all of them survived, as I was a bit worried about damage from deer or boars. I did lose 2 chestnut trees that were destroyed so savagely I have to assume it's wild boars, but I had planted them much farther away in the woods and I won't make this mistake again. I now have two new baby chestnuts and I planted them near the greenhouse (downhill):

I think I'd never seen nectarine flowers before, they look exotic! I also discovered this year what quince flowers look like:

The only tree that didn't bloom was the smallest apple tree, and honestly that's her fault because for some reason she decided to make tender new green leaves in the middle of winter, so she pretty much exhausted herself for nothing. And you can't blame climate change and seasons being weird for this, because it was a cold and snowy week and no other nearby fruit trees were making any leaves. The confused apple tree is a New Zealand cultivar, so I suppose you could argue she thinks she's still in New Zealand, except she's never been to New Zealand in her life, she was born and raised in France, she doesn't know New Zealand exists. The only possible explanation is, I suppose, a deep-rooted yearning for their ancestral homeland among New Zealand apple trees.

I was a bit concerned when this tree then failed to produce any leaves in the spring, I worried she might be hopelessly hemispherically-challenged, but then I went back to check two weeks later and she was finally green! In a seasonally-appropriate way!

Other trees I've planted, not in the fruit tree path: a persimmon, but it died very quickly :( I will try again; a goji berry shrub, which has been here for two years and seems to be doing well, but so far no sign of berries; and in front of my house, an amelanchier (un arbre dont ma mère n'arrive jamais à se rappeler le nom et qu'elle persiste à appeler "le mélenchon"):

Finally, my last piece of important tree-related news is that I had the hazel tree near my house removed this winter:

I asked the guy who was working on the road nearby with an excavator digging a drainage trench if he could do it, and it took all of 10 minutes, like picking a flower, it was impressive!

And the reason I wanted to remove it is that there are hundreds of hazel trees in my woods and I wanted something different in this spot by the house. Unfortunately for this deserving hazel, it just wasn't special enough.

So I planted a tiny ginkgo :) And now I just have to be extremely patient as I wait for everyone to grow.

Interesting dashboard experience yesterday.

[beestards]

One detail I loved about isat was that once you progressed through enough of the game, the number of loops would start to skip over each other. At one point I skipped from Loop 77 to 82, and I was staring at the screen in shock because. Five whole loops??? The implications of never quite knowing or remembering what happens in those missing loops are terrifying. It's a small detail but it adds so much to the player's immersion. We're six feet deep into Siffrin's mindset, and they've BEEN forgetting things. With the loops skipping over one another in random increments and having that split-second disorientation (did the loops just skip or are you misremembering?).... truly the Siffrin Experience.

Little guy reveal!

(Read SO many more of my thoughts below!)

(Please be aware that I have done zero research for this post, because I’m just sharing my thoughts for fun!)

Let’s look a little closer at these stinky little guys, shall we?

They’ve got the years they’re from on the bottoms of their feet! Lore is the oldest (1993), and Tasha is the youngest (1995)! Picard, Riker, Worf, and Geordi are all from 1994.

Surprisingly, being the oldest, I actually think I like Lore’s paint job the best! His eyebrows are definitely too dark (and off mold), but they are far from the worst, as we’ll see! I like that they painted in his pink waterlines. I don’t like that it doesn’t show up in pictures.

Oh, baby. Someone please pull up the countless memes about blue eyes for poor Riker.

Geordi is looking as handsome as ever! Likely because they didn’t need to paint his eyes.

Captain, my Captain! Remember what I said earlier about Lore not being the worst example of too-dark eyebrows? Yeah. Also, he appears to be experimenting with white lipstick! I support him in all his endeavors (as long as they’re not eyebrow related).

Worf! I feel like they’ve done him a little dirty with the eye shadow. Are they trying to make him look meaner? Worf isn’t mean. He’s a sweetie pie.

The Dark Santa Mammon card... Unrealistic (/hj). I'm gonna be so real, as soon as I knew his ass wasn't possessed or cursed or something I would be eating that shit uP--

-—Intro Post—-

HAHAHA!! Did ya miss me?!

Link to music playlist inspo because why not?

Link to nickname ref sheet because she’s mine

Hiiiiiiaaaaaa! You don’t know me? Well you should! EVERYONE SHOULD. We are Carnage!

There is no longer just Cletus Kassidy and a symbiote, we are one and bonded together forever to create MAXIMUM CHAOS and destruction!!! I stand around 7’2 with teeth to tear flesh and break bones, i roam the streets and shadows of New York City to make your lives a living hell

I kill who i want, i have zero moral code like those goodie too-shoo heroes. But I do have one and only one love, @vanadee-hailz-aka-best-merc-ever , she’s mine- and if anyone tries anything with her I will make your death slow and so very painful. She’s mine, mine mine mine mine MINE-

I reside within a universe called Earth 616-B where my Dove resides, but symbiotes are hivemind aliens, or lab created goop, but aliens are what symbiotes are from.

Venom/Eddie Pops tried killing me in that stupid cathedral with my now ex Shriek, that bitch is long gone and very dead, but we escaped before he could kill us.

Talk to me if you dare, because I do bite :)

(About Mun below)

About Mun and blog!

Hiii! You can call me Trixxie. Whenever I talk OOC I’ll usually state before hand //or like this

My main account is @thanathecreator but I also have a writing one called @trixxiewrites I also control @vanadee-hailz-aka-best-merc-ever

I am still new at roleplay, so please feel free to tell me if I’m doing something wrong or uncomfy, it’s a learning experience! Im probably gonna be updating this on occasion.

This is very fanon based

This Carnage blog is very not strict to the canon since it’s inspired by Venom 2 let there be Carnage and in it he dies, but me and a friend write a fanfiction where Carnage is the main antagonist to Gore. I write Carnage as being very possessive and obsessive of Gore, but I’ll try to interact with more than just Gore (╥_╥)

But Carnage will most likely be a 17+ blog and soon be 18+ unless specified because of the content discussed (swearing, gore, might be sexual content idk, stalking, obsessive and stalking behaviors, dark humor and ideas discussed, the works) so viewer discretion is advised- I am not the police so I won’t be able to tell if your a minor if you rp with Carnage.

Talk to me if you want to do a long term roleplay, shipping, or anything! I don’t bite but Carnage might!

I am open to crack shipping, shipping with any Marvel character or a person’s oc if both parties are open to it, and asks are always welcomed! If you have questions just ask- I don’t bite even if Carnage is by default a psycho.

Mun is awkward-

I follow a lot of rp accounts but sometimes anxiety is a bitch and I don’t interact bc idk how my character will relate to there’s. So If we’re moots and you want to interact with Carnage please do! Respond time may vary depending on schedule

if the undernet existed underground back when chara was alive then chara and asriel would totally have a 999+ page dm on some forum where chara would just spam asriel with whatever they had just to see what the maximum amount of dms they could send on there was while asriel would always get happy over receiving the messages even if it was something mundane like flower pictures

I wanted to do the 100 favourite films game that I saw half my dash doing, but the moment I tried, I immediately felt as though I had never seen a single film in my whole entire life. Everything I had ever enjoyed went out of my head. Thus, the obvious solution: books!

(I suspect there of being quite a lot of recency bias in this list - I've read several of these for the first time within the past three years - but I do really love them all...)

(Anyone expecting me to believe that they have read all 100 of my favourite books should prepare a short explanation for how and why they came to read a) a comprehensive history of British council housing and b) a short series of essays about the Beeching cuts. Also, that person should prepare for us to be best friends forthwith).
