Mole Hill!
I’ve had this mole skull and forelegs in a drawer for YEARS now with this very display scene in mind for them, just never got around to making it. Finally put it all together the other day and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
The bones were cleaned by the dermestid beetle colony I used to have then I glued them all back together. Wooden base, plaster “dirt,” and some fake plants I painted to make look a little less fake-y. And a lil worm I made out of clay <3

The Demise of the Worry Wart
A worry wart is someone who tends to spend way too much time on – well…worrying — having anxious thoughts about this and that. That’s most often not me! I don’t let myself go there. But, still, there are people issues, car issues, financial issues, and health issues that creep in our minds that trouble our souls.
This little “issue” of mine sounds trivial. I had been to my dentist for my…

Sunset Grazing
Please click on the photo to enlarge it.
I searched for a decent location to photograph the latest lovely sunset in the Shenandoah Valley. I stopped when I came upon this scene of young steers grazing.
The Black Angus scattered in the rolling pasture filled the foreground, while the local landmark of Mole Hill, an extinct volcanic core, dominated the background. The sunset orange-tinted cloud…

I wanted to add on to this ask done by an anon on ST confessions, because they are so right and they made something click in my brain. Do go read it before you read this.
First, off, heavy agree that Fall for Me is designed to be a lonely song, both lyrically, and quite smartly, musically. In every single other song Sleep Token has ever done there is music. There is noise, always. Even in times where there should be silence, there never is any. Instead, it's filled by sounds of birds, a taught guitar chord or chewing and biting.
Fall for Me, however, is utter silence. There's no musical reply. No SFX, no subtle drums or bass; no nothing. It's the one of the few songs (along with Missing Limbs, Take Aim and Drag me Under) in which Vessel directly addresses the love he holds for this person. It's not layered in metaphors, prose and an eloquent vernacular, it's straightforward. While his poetry in other songs is used to draw Them in, decorate his love and entice Them, he's done with getting nothing. He wants to be an equal, a lover, but he gets naught.
The reason why, other than the obvious choice of acapella instead of instruments, the song feels so lonely is because it's the only song- overall- that he doesn't get a response to. Sugar is the response to The Offering, Say That You Will is the response to Take Aim etc., but here? Cold, dead silence. No gesture in tongues, no crushing 'affection'; no nothing.
So, to the rhythm of eternity, he will be on that beach, stumbling, crawling and shouting out the same question that he will never get an answer to; won't you fall for me?
However, even though, unlike most songs that get an answer within their album, Vessel gets one in the next. Take Me Back To Eden, therefore, becomes the answer to that question. As well as Vessel's action against it.
@lifemod17 saw you reblog the ask as well, thought you might like this :]

chibi charlastor 2 electric boogaloo
[the alastor smooching charlie chibi looks similar to queenlypirate's recent charlastor art, but I do promise that it was a coincidence. I already had this lined, but decided to color it the other night]

hey :) what’s cool about this site is that there are so many lovely and talented creators that create fics and art and gifs for FREE! they spend hours/days/weeks/months working to create! for free! bc they love it!
instead of asking why something wasn’t done a certain way aka the way YOU would have done it, why don’t you either download photoshop, open a word doc, or just shut the fuck up? thnx!

No one could let the cake thing go. It was such a weirdly massive talking point for months now. Literally up in arms about CAKE of all things. And look at this. Jimin got a cake for getting #1 and for FACE. He just didnt post about it or go live with it. So can we all stfu now and not do this again next time??

also like. if you're on tumblr & you see something you don't like, the best course of action is to block the person and move on. i've been on this site for eleven years, off & on, & once i started doing that, my experience was so much better. just block freely and frequently. block someone because you don't like what they said. or because the way they word things is annoying to you. or because you just don't like their theme or their url or their tagging system or whatever. just block and move on. you never have to see their posts again. you never have to interact with them again, or have them interact with you. you can forget they existed and your tumblr experience will be so much better for it.

Sunrise, Sunset and Mole Hill
Our suburban home near Harrisonburg, Virginia, faces north. That requires me to constantly check east and west around dawn and dusk for any hint of a colorful sunrise or sunset.My chances of catching a lovely sunrise have to be more intentional. The older I get, the easier it is for me to sleep past the sun’s morning appearance. Seniors seem to have a sleep cycle similar to that of newborns. I…

One thing I think we have to learn is that, it's okay not to fuck with somebody for a petty ass reason. You don't need to justify it. Just be like "I don't like the cut of their jib" or whatever and Move. On.
