i’m putting together a little list of the short creative writing i’ve written for tumblr. so far i’ve got: april fool’s door saga, Don’t Touch The Pink Stuff, clown meat deli dream, tupperware dream, grinch x tony the tiger fic, scuba horror story, cabin in the words horror story, atheist afterlife, Arcady the Vampire, and my tip jar if you enjoy my writing and want more. am i forgetting anything?
astonishing how good it can feel to get some chores done sometimes. you’ll be sitting there like damn i am some type of horrid little smeagol like creature who should be crushed to death. but then you do some laundry and you’re like wrow. im actually gods most fuckable soldier.
thinking about werewolves and the concept of becoming a monster and discovering that something savage and uncontrollable exists within you and the potential that has to be a liberating narrative about growth and change and courage rather than a story about controlling and concealing it
The fire spirit opens its eyes, disturbed from its meditation. “…Do you need something?” The invasive presence squirms uncomfortably, and takes a deep breath in. “I mean, we’ve known each other for a while now, s-so, um…Would you mind if I… Used you to roast marshmallows?”
as promised, the transplanting tutorial
most sources make transplanting sound incredibly difficult, but transplanting young seedlings from areas with sparse dirt, like a driveway or roadside, is actually incredibly easy and can get you some great stuff. Once I worked out the method, i've had a very high survival rate
it took me like a month of trial and error to figure this out so you don't have to.

IM GOING TO BE SO MAD IF SNIFFER LOSES THE MOB VOTE AND WE DON'T GET NEW PLANTS :(
i was inspired by this post to mash two of my favorite things together so here is my two cents on what these two would be as D&D characters. i have very detailed thoughts on most of the cast actually but here's jon and martin for now. explanations for class/race under the cut!
jon: tiefling!jon is absolutely inspired. first, he deserves to have horns and a tail, it's just fact. second, of COURSE a tiefling would have feelings about being called a monster, it just fits him very well. thirdly, i also think that melanie would be a tiefling and they definitely have weird beef about jon being like "augh i'm so monstrous" while melanie is like "dude i'm literally right here, also a tiefling. come on, man." as for class, stated above. started as a goolock who thought he was just a weird wizard, but then his patron started taking a bit too much interest, and boom. weird sorcerer. also it amuses me to think about jonah/elias being like "i need to optimize my coffeelock" and trying to minmax him.
martin: human martin is important to me - he is intentionally unassuming, tries to make others underestimate him, etc, and human works well for that. in a world with gods and dragons, he's just Some Guy, and not even a guy with horns or anything. as for class, hear me out, ok. i know that bard!martin is usually the standard and i don't disagree, but i think he fits better as a paladin for 3 reasons: 1. charisma caster for sure, but he's not always volunteering to do the talking like a bard would. 2. for most of the series, he is a very intentional Protector of his people, trying to keep everyone safe as best he can - there's really nothing more paladin-coded than being self-sacrificial ok. definitely has the protection fighting style. 3. i think he deserves to have a big sword and smite people. as stated above, he was originally oath of devotion but switched to oath of the watchers after peter. oath of devotion focuses more on healing and buffing allies, while oath of the watchers is more about preparation and battlefield control, which feels more proactive in a way that i think lines up with post-lonely martin. also, it's on theme.
thanks for reading my ramble! let me know your thoughts. i will probably be making more of these (i may or may not already have dummy character sheets for jon, martin, elias, gertrude, tim, sasha, daisy, basira, melanie and georgie...) but i can't promise anything. cheers.
1. I will not eat raw fish. Everything else is fine. I will unflinchingly consume a bag full of mealworms (and have in the past) but I don't do raw fish.
I’m at 5 what about you?
I am almost certain somebody’s made this note before, but. Man. The way memes on most platforms nowadays have a shelf-life so short that by the time you’re done making one, it’s out of style… compared with how ones on Old Internet could go a couple years and still be OK.
But Tumblr? Tumblr has always been the same. It’s kind of like a reminder of the ways of old. You introduce a meme to these people? It is NEVER going away. In 2022, Spiders Georg lives in harmony with Blorbo From My Shows; Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way follows the little German boy into the cave of Bluntsmoken; Sans Undertale thrashes Plinkos Plonko, the Plinko Horse. Maybe it’s that we’re not like other sites (true), or that we’re less susceptible to cringe culture, but there’s something about the lifespan of our memes that warms my heart.
