I actually reserve these to drop at random after I’ve known someone for like a year or two bcs I know it’s going to get that reaction. Makes me seem like I’ve lived a way more interesting life, too.

its funny when events that probably couldve been traumatic dont bother you so you'll end up casually dropping stuff like "so after that time i almost got lost at sea as a kid-" and theyll be like WHAT and youre like. oh yeah dont worry its just part of my lore. its honestly not even a top five interesting backstory moment. focus please.

Yes! This!

You have to be able to get up again and again and again and again. If you can get yourself to enjoy the process and not just the results, this gets way easier, too.

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

Also!! Mosquitos and flies are important!!! Do not kill them either!! (I cannot speak on roaches. I do not know them well and the loathing in my soul is blinding.)

I remember when people pretended to care about bees for a few years because they were an indicator species and now I’m getting replies to that post like “idc if all bugs die as long as we get rid of mosquitos and flies and cockroaches” YOURE GONNA FUCKING DIE!!!!! WE WILL DIE TOO!!!!! WE WILL ALL DIE WITHOUT BUGS!!!! IM NOT KIDDING!!!!

Fun being for kids is part of why so many adults are fucking miserable.

there are a lot of undiagnosed adults out there but i do think it's a shame that we've reached a point where having hobbies and interests past the age of 20 is seen as a touch of the tism. i know many older adults who suppress all their childish desires and throw out all their old toys and for what. are you scared of being 'weird' ? who give a shit.

spiders have got to figure out contracting I need to be able to call my local spiders union and be like "hey can you send a guy out for a few days the fruit flies are back" and then pay it in spider currency. I'll learn the conversion rates. I'll be generous with my rounding. please.

Such a good possum design. Peak possumage. Very good.

I bit the bullet and asked my friends what animal i would be and possum was pretty unanimous so here it is! Possum Bayleigh!! Haha

As , the United States, potentially heads into another forever war I can only think of this quote.

YES! There is nothing quite so flaccidifying as shittily written smut. Like— proofread at least, for the love of god.

"This fic is literally just porn, why do you care about the quality of the editing" unfortunately, both my brain and my dick have strong opinions about verb tenses.
