There’s milkweed, clover, brown eyed clovers, violets, rabbits, baby birds, my enemy the voles, snek friend…its not that tall either. The rabbits have been kinda keeping it short I think, its only sparsely ankle high.
I need to plant a tree since I took down my diseased peach tree.

This is the Ash I aspire to have XD
Well a mix but ya get the sass >:3
I miss classic Ash, they took a lot of his personality away in the recent seasons
The day Misty left, I was crying, because I loved their sibling rivalry so much. All the savagery between them.
at the risk of sounding like a raving lunatic, i think one of my favorite trekkie memes/posts is that one where someone comments on a screenshot of tos and asks if sulu is texting, because it PERFECTLY encapsulates star trek's strange little place at the intersection of pop culture and the tech world:
like listen... 55+ years ago a bunch of actors had to use a mix of existing habits and wild imagination to come up with what they felt would be believable movements and muscle-memory for someone using completely unbelievable tech a few hundred years in the future. like tv had less than ten channels and the screen was a foot across, and they had to go "ok how would someone who's used to a tiny wireless gadget with a screen hold it and use it? how would they talk to a computer? how would the computer sound when she talked back?"
and over half a century later our own tech has surpassed the clunky retrofuture gizmos in so many ways, no doubt inspired by it, that now someone two decades into the 21st century sees an actor in the 60s holding some tiny rectangular plastic prop in both hands and immediately recognizes it as "oh, sulu's texting!" now THAT is a called shot. hell, that's putting your money on a roulette wheel in a casino that hasn't been built yet. i LOVE it. it's so star trek. sulu is absolutely texting.
I also wanna go on a slight tangent. In the book of Fahrenheit 451, they mention ‘imaginary families’ and people completely engrossed by this ongoing world that was displayed on all four walls of the house and having seashell radios in their ears.
Fast forward to 2023, people are on their screens completely engrossed by their screens and in a world that is not their current one, viewers and content creators calling people “Fam”. No matter what room you are in, you are in two worlds at the same time, and the seashells in your ears were once referenced by someone when earbuds first came out and then later airpods.
This murderous asshole…
And this murderous asshole…
Both obsessively love their brothers and will destroy the world and themselves for the wellbeing of their sibling. And we end up with suffering siblings who go all in on self sacrifice.
Like this overly kind and helpful knife wielding lover boy, with sealed mega powers implied, Hanako aka Amane.
And this sack of anxiety and gunslinger bad-ass-ery, with also mega powers inside, who’s afraid of cats but plays the big brother role like his life depends on it, Gilbert.
No wonder I gravitated to the Tsukasa and Amane sibling pair…its because I had Vincent and Gilbert about 10 years ago.
Whatever this troupe is called. It makes me so uneasy but I love it.
Every time I talk to my mom, she always mentions “be more feminine, get dolled up.” She loves makeup, but she doesn’t know how to apply it and as such, I never learned how to apply it and quite frankly, I’m not very good at it and most makeup gives me a sensory issue. The whole primer, liquid foundation, concealer, contour, more primer, all the colors, liner, mascara, lip gloss, it makes me feel like I’m wearing 3 days worth of dirt and sweat. I’ve tried multiple times with different brands and even makeup artists, looking up the “It feels like nothing” or “It so light!” reviews….I still feel it.
The best I’ve managed to do is powder foundation, eye shadow, blush, a very specific liner, recently highlighter and typically matte ELF lipstick. Even with the powder foundation I have to go very light, or use it as a concealer in only certain areas and blend it out. It’s gotten to the point its part of my anxiety, I know I could look better with a touch more, but the discomfort makes it feel like someone put a large sticker on my face or wet plastic film.
On top of that it never helps when I look up articles about makeup and varying different opinions on makeup such as:
And I can’t be the only person in the world who feels like any eye makeup makes me feel really sleepy after a while. What gives? Am I just weird? If I put on more than 1 layer of shadow, within 2 hours, I just wanna sleep, like my eyes are tired.
I love the look of lip gloss, but it feels like I just slathered ooze tube candy all over my face, and I just wanna lick it off, and how do you drink anything with it on?
And I’m so color stupid that I can’t tell if one shade is warmer or cooler because all I can tell is its a different color and that’s all I can see, I don’t see how anyone can be like “This has more blue, this has more red, this has more yellow.” What are you talking about??? All I know are that my veins are blue, purple and sometimes green. The same blush on my cheeks makes me look feverish but on my eyes it makes me look cute, so IDK.
At least I got the Korean blended lip down. That’s the only advancement I’ve managed in the last 10 years. I will probably never touch contour again because none of the tutorials make sense, you get people doing thin lines, and the you got people who are painting their whole faces, what is happening?
I really wished I had the money, time, patience and not the sensory overload to use makeup, then I would maybe feel more willing to do cosplay.
My only compromise is watching and following guy makeup tutorials, because for the majority its light, compared to women’s light makeup…which isn’t light to me.
At the end of the day I prefer to just put on barely there eye liner and a lipstick if I feel like it that day, but even then I’ve had people like “You should put on MORE” and its just like,
IDK
I have the same envy for makeup as the envy I have for people who manage to do make stunning watercolor art. You put color down and it somehow works.
ramble over.
I wish stores would carry chocolate pepitas.
One day I’m gonna grow pumpkins, and I’m gonna grow them to eat….especially the seeds. The gourds are NOT going on my porch you will get to see a pile of vines on my porch

I wanted to do an hour reading with this book I got at the library.
One hour later, there are 3 other books next to me and I didn’t even finish reading the second page of the original book I wanted to read.
WTF????????????
I guess I got an hour reading but not the way I intended to.
