WIP INTRODUCTION: “Bury My Ashes at Sea” -Hero!Dabi x Support!MC AU
He closed his eyes. Every now and then, when your voice was steady enough, you’d hum for him. It was perfect. Calm. Still. He let himself savor the moment.
It was what he came here for, after all.
It was why he could put Dabi away and let Touya pretend he was still alive for a little while. All those on death row got a final request, and this was his. You, propped up with pillows, sitting against your headboard. Him, laying his head flat in your lap, the tips of his fingers trailing back and forth across your leg he was using like a pillow. Your hands caressing his face.
The silence of paradise is only broken by the sound of your sniffling. You’d stopped actively crying a few minutes ago, but it was only a matter of time before you started up again. You’d been off and on throughout the night. A twinge of bitterness struck his chest every time he heard the hitch of your breath. Of course, he meets the one person who wanted him to stay, begged him to stay, after he was already dead and ruined. After there was nothing to be done.
“Man. Whoever’s running things up there’s got a sick sense of humor, don’t they?” He grinned, lifting a hand to wipe your remaining tears. His hand lingered on your cheekbones. “Wish I could’ve met you when things were different.”
A watery smile lifted your lips. “Me too.”
“You would’ve been a menace to the old man as a kid.”
“Oh, I would’ve never let him know peace,” you said with a laugh. “I’ll bully your shitty parent if you bully mine.”
“Deal.”
The two of you laughed. Again, it was both paradise and purgatory. Like touching his fingers to yours behind a wall of glass. You were right there. He had you. But the world he always craved was just out of reach.
He pressed a soft peck to your inner thigh.
“Love you, doll,” he whispered against your skin. He wasn’t sure if he actually did. He was still clinging to the idea that love was supposed to make him feel some kind of different. Everything felt as numb as always.
But if he could love anything, he'd want it to be you.
You made a half-laugh, half-choking sound. The air stilled with another wave of your grief. He closed his eyes again. You hated people seeing you cry. A trait probably learned from the same person who taught you to keep your sorrow so silent. The trembling of your breath was the only give away.
You turned your gaze away from him, your voice strained with tears. “That’s a bastard move finally saying that now.”
“Yeah. Sorry.” He gave you a half-smile and wiped more tears from your face. “I’ll haunt you to make up for it. How’s that?”
“How romantic.”
He kept gently catching your tears until you placed your hand over his. You leaned into his touch and caught his eyes. Time slowed, and you both stayed like that awhile, until eventually you leaned down, and he lifted his head to meet your lips with his.
When you pulled away, your eyes were as soft and sad as the kiss.
“I love you too.”
That was the last time Dabi would ever see you.
The only reason he showed up was to say goodbye. You’ve been broken up for awhile, but who else would he call for his last visit?
In the end, he didn’t want you to forget him.
Now there was nothing else left to do but wait for AFO to call them to war. But instead of the usual fixations, his mind keeps coming back to the last thing you talked about.
What if he had met you before?
What if you grew up together, instead of meeting halfway into each other’s lives?
What if you had a Quirk? And instead of burning, you went to U.A together?
Most importantly, when things inevitably went to hell...
What if you became a Villain with him?
He can’t shake the idea. So with nothing else better to do, he indulges the fantasy.
And he names you...
Hex.

Current Word Count: 11,615
Author Notes: HEY I’M OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING THE HEX FIC! =D
This concept spawned because I started watching Fire Force, and then I made myself really irritated thinking about how both Rei and Enji quit on Touya so quickly because “His body wasn’t compatible with his Quirk” when we A. See the main fucking character of MHA have that exact problem and because he is given SUPPORT ITEMS and PROPER TRAINING he’s still being a hero, and B. The Todorokis have more money than God and still didn’t even consider the idea that maybe Touya would be fine with some adaptations, and C. THEY COULD’VE JUST MADE HIM!!!!! A SUIT!!!!!!!!!! All of those things together activated the Disability Angst in me and out of spite I came up with an idea for the suit, put it in context with some selfship stuff I was already plotting, and went wild from there.
Basically, there are a lot of disability discussions in the manga already, but I am Taking It There lol. Also, I’m never getting both Black AND Disabled MCs for my blorbos unless I do it myself, so I’m doing it myself!!!!
I was really inspired by @phen0l and her fic “Higher than the Mountain, Deeper Than The Sea” (which you should seriously read btw!!!!!!), specifically her depictions of Dabi’s sense of reality being really unstable by interjecting the past in the narrative text.
Since this is a fantasy Dabi is entertaining himself (*cough* coping *cough*) with, and VERY much revolving around his wants and desires only, every now and then the narration will be interrupted with red crossed out text revealing dialogue from MC and his relationship in reality. Most of the time it’s his consciousness snitching that ‘Sir, that is not at all what happened’ lol
See if you can piece together how the relationship actually is based off the Snitch Texts. Especially the differences between Hex and Real!MC lol.
If you’d like to be tagged in any other Hex!fic content, including the fic itself of course, send me an ask or let me know in the tags or replies and I’ll add you to the list!
Taglist: @decayish

Main Relationship: Weiss Schnee/Ruby Rose
Rating: M
Notes: I'm currently working on posting links to fics I forgot about to tumblr. I'm also trying a new format for posting said links. If you want to set the mood for the fic please check out the playlist for it and you can check out my ko-fi if you want.
FIC:
‘Your destination is ahead on the right.’ Weiss glanced out of the right window, noticing the narrow gravel road.
“That must be it.” Turning onto the road her car jerked slightly as she drove up toward a rustic two-story house with a familiar beat-up red pickup truck parked in the driveway. Pulling up next to it, she put her car in park unbuckling her seatbelt, looking over the seat at Ivory where she sat, playing with a stuffed rabbit, kicking her legs back and forth. “You ready?”
“Yuh-uh!” Ivory chirped as she began to unbuckle herself. Turning off the engine, it made a clunking sound that didn’t fill Weiss with much confidence.
“Oh, that didn’t sound good...” Gently she stroked the steering wheel before she grabbed her purse and stepped out into spring evening air. Slamming the door closed she moved around the front just as Ivory skipped into view. The blue sundress had definitely been the right choice. That and the white buckle sandals made her look like an entirely different child. If not for the frog purse she had insisted on bringing everywhere. Shaking her head Weiss blew some air out her nose. ‘If she’s happy that’s all that matters.’
Approaching the front porch, she watched Ivory jump up the stairs stumbling slightly. She waved her arms attempting to catch her balance. Weiss placed a hand on her back helping her keep herself upright. “You good?”
“Yup!” Ivory nodded, jumping onto the final step. “Can I ring the doorbell?”
“Sure,” Weiss said with a short laugh as she watched as Ivory reached up on her tiptoes just as barely managing to press the button. It rang out in the standard ‘Ding. Dong. Ding.’
Ivory beamed up at Weiss obviously very proud of her accomplishment. “I reached it.”
“Yeah,” Weiss said, placing a hand on Ivory’s back. “You’ve gotten so big,” Weiss said, causing Ivory to throw her shoulders back, puffing her chest out. The doorknob rattle and turned, the door swinging open inwards revealing the one and only Ruby Rose. She wore a faded grey shirt that seemed to say Feldspar Track and Field around the same mid-howl wolf from the water tower. The sleeves had been cut off revealing toned along with a farmer’s tan. She leaned against the door, reaching down to adjust her pants, a pair of black gym shorts. Weiss looked down at her own outfit. A sheer white blouse with a faux ribbon attached to the collar was tucked into a blue A-line shirt. Weiss suddenly felt incredibly overdressed.
Ivory was practically bouncing in place and eventually, the excitement bubbled over as she jumped over to Ruby. “Ruby! Ruby! Ruby!”
“Ivory! Ivory! Ivory!” Ruby said easily matching Ivory’s energy as she placed her hands on her knees leaning down so she was level with Ivory who placed her hands behind her back, rocking back on her heels.
“Did you know that we’re here for dinner?”
“What!?” Ruby exclaimed, glancing up at Weiss. “Really!?”
“Yup! Really really!”

do you have any headcanons (or canons lol) of Skoodge’s speech patterns n things he says a lot?? i would like to maybe write skoodge things eventually maybe one day possibly
HELLO? yes i do come closer
PART ONE: idk why im using parts i'm not gonna follow this theme at all for the rest of my post STRONG TIES TO ZIM
Even without my rotted brain he very clearly has some canon connections to Zim, if not in the show (hobo-13) then in the cut episodes (the trial, day of da spookies). Knowing this, it would make a lot of sense for some of Zim's mannerisms to carry over! Nothing big, Skoodge isn't gonna start talking in third person or anything any time soon -- but he does tend to use a lot of interjections and the occasional "EH?"
And he speaks casually! Words blend and meld together. He hardly uses harsh vowels or enunciates unless he wants to make a point (that point usually being followed by a salute). "Gonna, y'know, yeah," and a lot of mumbles and "uh huh"s. Lots of double negatives, too. Like, not enough to be TOO too noticeable, but enough to where you know it's there.
He doesn't like being loud usually unless he's feeling confident or excited. And when he is excited, he uses a lot of interjections, and exaggerates his words. "Hoo-ah" and "too-night" being a couple of canon examples, "woo-hoo, yippee, yay-yuh, bingo" being some non.
(not a speech headcanon, but, i do think these are almost always followed by some weird body motion. pumping hands, throwing arms in the air, that sort of thing)
And I kinda have this silly idea in my head that he uses stupid words like "yeowzers, holy moly, heeby jeebies" without there being any canon evidence of it. And he sometimes adds sound effects to things that don't really need them (people walking, driving, eating, et cetera).
Thank you for letting me be insane about him :) lets go out for dinner or something AFEWEGWRG
#gerrnswers#gerry stop ranting and raving you look like a lunatic#izrot#should this go in the main tags. idk#SKOODGE RANT#i guess thats a tag now

DND POG
some props ive made for a friends dnd campaign i am very hype ab, im very proud of how they came out :>
OK SO FIRST WE GOT A SPELL BOOK-
My charachter's name is Maxwelle Harbinger- and the little sun/eye logo is his family crest :>. I had a very hard time in my last campaign remembering what my spells do- so i went and wrote the description + every other bit of info for every spell I have. It took a very long time to write, but im glad i did it bc its in terms i actually understand now lol
NEXT IS A LETTER/ HIT LIST
So like- Maxwelle is a bounty hunter, right? well He recived a letter from a very powerfull official called Lady Michelle Cronk to kill her son and their party. (Maxwelle end up joining the party instead bc hes like: yo this bitch is crazy). Anyway yuh- the wax seal's design is a monogram I designed for Michelle Cronk inspired by the British Royal Families cypher.
this is what it was sposed to look like, but when i was making the seal i forgot to flip it, so it came out backwards lol
I also wrote the letter itself with a fancy dip pen :>
NEXT WE GOT FAKE-ASS BUSINESS CARDS
Bc Maxwelle is like- a paid assassin, my DM gave me a list of ppl and organizations he would likely know or be connected to as a part of the criminal underwolrd. Two of which are companies, Armstrong and Sons and Cellbase are a famously aggressive repo group, and an illegal science organization that creates monsters to be released into the world- respectively.
The others are members of the Silver Corps, a criminal organization dealing in all manner of illegal trade. illicit substances, murder, debt reclaims, turf wars, you name it. These members are "Cladmasters" the highest possible rank in the organization, all head of unique criminal departments within the Silver Corps.
AND LASTLY- I MADE A DICE ARENA
Made of paper bc I dont have anything else atm ;>> planning on making it sturdier with cardboard bc i already ripped it tryna get it outa my bag lol.
Anyway- yuh Im supper excited to do this new campaign. :> I should start posting my dnd stuff more often, not to mention drawing stuff for them. Fun thing, all my dnd characters in their own lil universes are part of the same multiverse, so I'm hoping I can write a comic for them at some point. But thats kinda far off bc I've got plans for other things I gotta do, lol.
I'll post my charachter's reference sheet here when its done, i think you guys will like him ;]

so, i just found your absolute GEM of an account and i have not read anything yet, so i don’t know who Angel or Ellum is, BUT here is my ask anyway. Your post about Angel climbing up to cuddle Emery gave me a fun idea:
Emery knows that Angel wants to be touched gently, so Emery allows him to cuddle. However, Emery gets a little bored just cuddling, so he starts touching Angel (nsfw). Angel knows that if he pulls away, they stop cuddling, so he just decides to endure as many orgasms as possible(overstimulationnnn) just to keep hugging Emery for as long as he allows 😌
The trembling, Angel pushing into Emery even tho he doesn’t want to, UgH 😩😩 >>>>
maybe this is too specific but i can make ideas but i just can’t write them, sooo yuh
ty! 🖤
Hello!!! I'm so happy you found my account and you seem so excited about getting into it--I hope by this time you've tasted a little and stayed for the ride! We have lots of fun here.
I'm answering this just because I'm not able to use this prompt, as it's not in character for Emery unfortunately (you should've read about them first you silly!!! [jk]), but it's very cute and I appreciate the thoughts. ;)

Cool beetle facts pls I need
I have never been so excited to reply to something!!!!
Thank you for asking me to infodump about these awesome little creatures! :D
tw bugs and pictures of bugs and long post
First off, like what the hell is a beetle anyway? Aren't they just shiny bugs?
Well yeah... but what separates beetles is their hardened outer wings or elytra. The are distinctly divided down the middle, so all beetles have wings that do not overlap.
A well known beetle is the ladybug! Or ladybird, or coccinellid. Beetles go through a complete metamorphosis, where their larval stages are often very different from their adult forms. This means that they hatch into larvae and then pupate once where they change all at once. (from top left, clockwise, adults mating, larvae, adult laying eggs, pupa)
These eyltra are what gives beetles their distinct shapes and colors. Although they cannot fly with their elytra, they must warm up their wings before they can fly and thus raise their elytra outward.
Diving beetles can use their elytra to store air underwater!
Then there's the funny little click beetle... they throw themselves away from danger and make a loud click sound. They also do this casually when they've just fallen on their backs.
BUH-YUH-YOING(spring sound effect)
Most of the bright colors like blue, green, and shimmering reds and yellows are examples of one of my favorite topics... Structural Color!
They are not ACTUALLY shimmering beautiful colors, as they lack pigmentation, the structure of the scales that form their elytra are shaped in a way that causes us to see those beautiful iridescent shades. The material of their wings reflects certain wavelengths of light back to us, which is why they can seem to shift colors.
Notice how the colors of this beetle seem to change in the camera angle? SHINY PRETTY OOOHAHHHH
all weevils are beetles and usually massive crop pests. But they have this really fun shape to them! Beetles eat decaying plant and animal matter, waste, fungi, and other insects. They're like nature's little roombas!
Many species that are predacious are considered to be pest controllers of more damaging species like how ladybugs eat aphids!
Some wood boring beetles have such long lifespans that they can pop out of already made furniture!
Beetles adopt bright colors to warn off predators, and many can spray or emit acidic or toxic chemicals to help them. But unless you're a BIRD don't be alarmed! Even if they make sounds, beetles are not dangerous. They don't bite (rare exceptions), they don't spread disease, and they aren't parasitic to people. They may damage crops, but so does any species left unchecked.
Beetles come in an incredible array of shapes and colors and some are effective mimics of wasps and bees! They also act as pollinators for many flowering plants. Many adopt a mimic of a more fearsome insect to ward off predators.
I may be very partial to the bumblebee scarab beetle <3
The order of beetles is Coleoptera, meaning shield wing. The name beetle, means little biter, although most species are harmless to humans.
Beetles are the most successful order of animals all over earth. The number of beetle species counts for nearly 40% of all insect species, and 25% of all animal species. THAT'S A LOT. Consider, there are a lot of fish...
See this crazy scary guy! Those horns are used for mating battles between males, this is a hercules beetle. In the picture I've blown up his face and you can see that he really isn't that scary after all!
The hercules beetle is on record as the longest beetle found! at 18.1 cm
I hope you liked these beetle facts! I have plenty more where that came from and I'm also always interested in learning. I am learning about beetles because I wanted to get over my fear of bugs, and I hope I can show that insects are incredible creatures that bring beauty to the world!
<3 BEE

July 19th, Sunday. 14.41pm. Good afternoon ghost.
I'm so scatterbrained today so I'll just go with a stream of consciousness type of entry. I need more quality sleep time or my brain will melt.
----
My sister is here to pick up my niece but she's gonna do a hair thingy with me before. We were talking and she seems pretty happy, it makes me glad to see her like that. Her mood is never stable but I hope it lasts at least for a week this time.
She told me she went to a swing club yesterday and I was ready to applaud her for having some non-old-people fun until she told me it was Desi's, aka a ratchet swing club that's just awkward for everyone involved. According to her they've completely changed the dynamic after the pandemic and it isn't so bad now, they give lifts and some free drinks to single women to encourage them going there, so I may go next month. It wasn't that nice before so I don't know if I have high hopes.
I'd go with her and Grazi earlier but I don't wanna be a cunt to Fele, since we just recently broke up (I think???) I'm not gonna immediately make dating app profiles and pop my pussy around clubs. I want to but he's a nice guy, I don't want his friends saying they saw me on tinder or clubs just a few days after we're over (are we???).
-
About that, I sent him a message after my long radio silence saying it wasn't working out (true) and that I wanted some time without dating anyone (bullshit) last night but he didn't reply. I'm fine if he never does, this is not a conversation I'm excited about, he'd just be making it easier for me. I've already mentally checked out of the relationship months ago, and if he doesn't wanna reciprocate my incredibly rare courtesy of being open then it's his choice.
I'll just hang around doing no dating whatsoever until early July aka the parade, because I'll be sure by then he will get the message and I'll be free as a bird to kiss people and do dumb shit without feeling guilty I'm cheating on him physically.
-
Ooooh, and yes! The parade! All of my friends are going, I confirmed it with them yesterday!! My sister says her friends are going too, and I don't doubt it, but I don't think she's gonna come. I'll be happy if she does but she's such a flaker, so I'm not gonna rely on her to go there or else I'd have to stay at home when I could be out dressed like a doll and possibly kissing cute people, no way.
I wanted to hang out with Linu before the parade but after the stories he posted today I'm kinda like... Yuh. No. He's still friends with Kali, and hopefully she doesn't remember me, but during Largo days she hated me for some reason and thought I was gonna beat her up. I get hating me, I'm very much unfriendly, but I'm not a violent person, the fuck. Anyway, I don't wanna make her uncomfortable by popping into her friend circle, so if I hang out with him I'll ask that we don't meet her or anything. I don't even know her and I'm not sure why she's that scared of me, but I'm not gonna ruin her day like that. I do need a plug in my neighbourhood tho so I won't have to buy weed at my sister's house in SC, so I'm gonna have to meet with Linu at some point. Fingers crossed his plug is straight so he can give me discounts woohoo.

Now I'm gonna do whatever hair thing my sister wants to do and then I'll go to her house for a few days to get a wax and some more weed. Fuck, I can't wait for July to come.

3rd post today (how weird!) Lol
I wanted to make this post separate from my shop post, to fill you all in on my spirit wedding. I'm going to be blunt and honest with you this whole time, so please don't take this as me bashing any shops.
My conjuring has gotten SO GOOD lately. I'm so excited that all of the research and work has paid off. I have 2 spirits that help me manifest and conjure and I wouldn't have figured this out without them. Tanja (tawn-yuh) and Grant. They were teaching me how to find spirits, and found me the woman of my DREAMS. A beautiful red head named Rosalie. We met up a lot, became close, and I was so happy with her.
I was browsing etsy and a spirit marriage listing popped up from katykatreasures, and I debated it for days. It was $50 and I was curious how it would work. So I paid it.
Then I browsed mercari (a selling app) and the most gorgeous garnet and diamond ring popped up. It was $23 and my size, in sterling silver. I debated it, and she told me to just get it. I used that as her vessel and the wedding ring.
I got a message back from katykatreasures that said she would let me know when the marriage was done.
The ring arrived a day early, and I went home on my lunch break to go get it. I could not wait, I was too excited. I bound her to the vessel in the work bathroom (yeah I know, not romantic).
I was driving home from work and I got a notification saying katykatreasures messaged me. The message said "it is done, thank you" or something along those lines. That was it. It didn't feel special. I'm not saying I'm disappointed, because I didn't know what to expect. But I guess I had hoped for a little more.
I went home and meditated and spent my whole night with her. My heart felt full for the first time in a long time.
It still wasn't sitting right with me, how the whole wedding went down. So I wrote my own spell and ritual. I held my own ceremony, I did my own wedding. I found her a ring she liked and put it on her offering tray on my altar. I redid my wedding and I'm finally content with how it came out.
After that experience I decided to open a shop and offer the wedding service (and divorce option) at a low cost. I'm even going to send a certificate by mail for each one. I want everyone to have the chance to have a special day at an AFFORDABLE price. And have something to show for it. I worked so hard on my spells and rituals for this shop, and I am so proud of it.
I want everyone to be able to feel this happiness without being afraid of it being permanent, or the huge cost.
We want to keep our shop prices low, because I know how expensive this can get, and for us its not about the money, it's about doing something we love and are passionate about.
We even will have some free perks and services, as we get set up and going.
I got off topic, sorry lol
I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time. I've commissioned art pieces to be made of Rosalie and I, and I'm getting them printed so I can have them from worm.
After I did my ritual on my own, I went outside and found this brand new silver chain. Just laying on the ground.
My friends said she knows I like found objects, instead of store bought, so she probably gave it to me as a wedding present. I cleaned it with soap and water to be safe, and it hasn't left my neck, and my ring hasn't left my finger.

Bog Witch; How To Grow Mushrooms
Ahhhh who doesn't fucking love mushrooms?
Oh you? Then skiddadle this post isn't for you >:(
Anyway, I've been desperate to get into the art of foraging, where I am in the northern hemisphere we're just breaking into spring - soon there will be lots of young shoots and spring greens to monch and cronch on. However what I am most anticipating and excited for is Mushroom Foraging.
Unfortunately, other than the fairly uncommon Morel Mushroom which is usually available between March and May, there won't be any mushyrooms to forage until July at the earliest. And why would I wait for that when I could just buy a fuckin mushroom home grow kit and do it MYSELF.
This is some jank sketchy Oyster Mushroom kit I bought on ebay, I recommend if you wanna grow your own kit to buy an actual reputable one. But I'm poor AND impatient so here we are.
26th February 2021;
So the kit came like this. I didn't get a picture of the patch on the back but I'm assuming it's kind of a self healing injection site. The pack came precultured and all I had to do was cut the + in the middle of the package, soak it in water and spray it every couple days until the mush goblins come and provide me with a bountiful harvest.
More expensive kits come with your substrate and mycelium culture separate and you have to inject the culture with a syringe and needle through a self healing injection site. Other kits come precultured, like this one, and most of the time all you'll have to do is cut, soak and spray. There are pros and cons to both and I hope to get more expensive kits in the future so I can compare the 2, if you guys would like to see that.
So I cut the cross in the pack and laid it face down in some filtered water (it doesn't specify that filtered is required but I can't imagine chlorinated does much good for it). I was originally concerned that because the substrate was cracked that it would be crumbly and fall out of the bag into the water but it retained its shape and somewhat "fused" back together after soaking. The instructions said overnight but I, having no short term memory, period, forgot and left it for almost 24 hours.
2nd March 2021
4 days later
Would you believe me if I told you these 2 pictures were only taken 5 hours apart? And the fuckers are still going.
Please note that mushrooms and fungi don't photosynthesise. They have no chlorophyll and therefore cannot turn sunlight into energy via glucose. A lot of mushrooms get their glucose from their host plants (i.e. trees, roots underground, etc.) Which I think is why seed and sawdust are great substrate for mushrooms like this to grow in.
Mushrooms ARE however photoSENSETIVE and will grow toward light sources, contrary to the popular belief that they ONLY grow in the dark, which is why most mushroom kits are provided with a box that covers most of the culture apart from where you want the mushrooms to grow from.
Direct sun however is likely to damage them or stunt their growth so either a light shady place or out of direct sunlight will do perfectly.
3rd March 2021
Overnight growth! An insane jump in size this morning at 11am, this photo was taken just 20 hours after the last.
What's even better? The fungus is now PINNING!!
The pins like to be kept super hydrated until they form proper mushroom clumps or baby mushrooms so I'll spray them daily until then, then every other day.
4th March 2021
Overnight explosion in size. Looking very very closely I can see the gills are opening just a little. Looks like I didn't need to wait long for baby mushrooms after all.
5th March 2021
Das a big boy. At this stage the gills are starting to become more apparent and they're starting to smell more and more like mushrooms!
There's some yellowing on some of the caps so I'll have to see how that goes but some of them should be okay to eat.
6th March 2021
Yuh uhhhh. I would say these are about done! See that some of the caps are yellowing on the sides and even closing upward? We don't want this to happen to anymore of them so we'll pick them now.
Hold at the base and twist to release the CLOMP .
I immediately took them to the kitchen to prepare them, split them into 3 sections; cooked one, stored the other 2.
Incredibly Important Initial Impressions;
Not disappointed in the least; fried with a lil olive oil, some butter and some garlic, they have a slightly chewy but buttery texture. Taste wise, I'd say they're not your average button mushroom from the supermarket. They're meatier, earthier, and have a slightly but pleasantly bitter after taste. Hardly noticeable but very welcomed.
They unfortunately don't taste like oysters OR the souls of the damned.
What am I planning on using them for?
Well I'm going to be cooking one of the other clumps for my mum, since she can't eat garlic her's need to be cooked separately. As for MY other clump, I'm going to prepare it and have myself a heavenly Ramen Feast tonight.
Conclusion
I had a lot of fun growing this, especially since it didn't take nearly as much time as I initially thought it would. My aggressively impatient brain is grateful for that.
If I grew more kits in the future and you would be interested in seeing me document them, let me know in your reblogs!
Yours sincerely,
Local Bog Cryptid xoxo

mods that I love part 2/?
I'm addicted to mods
if you haven't seen my previous post, you can find it here.
I know it's been a bit since my first post, but I want to post more of these. Again, I have the "popular" mods such as UI cheats, MCCC, SOL, etc. these posts are solely for mods that may not be as well known, and they make an impact in my game.
quick note: I am including direct links to the mods, but please make sure you read the descriptions for each mod and make sure you are downloading the most up-to-date version of it. For example, if you are reading this a year from now, these links may be a bit out of date.
let's get into it yuh!
1. zero's custom degrees mod - okay, I haven't used this mod yet, but only because I don't have any sims in university right now. I am so excited for my sims kids to be old enough to go to college just so I can use this mod. The post explains more in detail so please read it, but essentially it just adds new, that's right NEW, degree options for your sims. Some of the new ones they included are environmental science, archaeology, music, and education. There are more than that as well, so now their major's aren't as broad ;)
2. SHEnanigans drama mod & Helaene Insults & Arguments Pack - I get bored in my game, and in the past, I've had to try very hard to make my sims fight about something so that it will make my game more interesting. But ever since I added these two mods to my game, my sims bicker more, and their relationship will randomly go down lol. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. I live for the mundane drama.
3. Shimrod's Pillow Talk mod - In my previous post I linked a mod for cuddling in bed, so it feels right to include this one as well. The title is pretty self-explanatory, after woohoo they do their little pillow talk thang :') it's cute
okay, I added three new mod suggestions to the list, and I included a small bonus interactions mod in there 😉 if you have any suggestions for mods that I should try, let me know!

hi steph!! i'm so sorry i missed the sleepover post? i think tumblr's eating up tags againnn
anyway could i req a 💖 with a guy from the marauders era?
i’m a gryffindor/enfj/libra. i like to think i’m funny and charismatic. and when i ask people to describe me in one word, they usually say bubbly, righteous, or fiery!
i love to read, dance, listen to music, hang out with friends, and volunteer! i'd also like to travel a lot more in the future because i know quite a few languages.
i’m very much an overachiever, and there are a lot of expectations on me to do well, but sometimes all that pressure gets really stressful & i also tend to hide sadness with jokes :(
i wouldn't say i'm super adventurous, but i will try almost anything at least once!
lastly: i'm chinese-canadian, 5'4", with dark brown hair + freckles!
JOIN MY WEEKEND SLEEPOVER !
- -
Hiii! It’s ok darling! And overachiever vibes? YUH YOU ARE MOII OK?? I may or may not have stalked your profile to see which one you’d prefer and I saw a couple of your asks asking for playlists with James Potter best friends to lovers so heheh that’s what I’m gonna give you because that’s what a good friend does =)
I ship you with James Potter!
Jily is def one of my otps but think about this for a sec
Yours definitely be very close with the Marauders
I feel like you’d have sarcasm battles with James all the time
Maybe you both were neighbors growing up which made you so close
All he knows is that he truly loves spending time with you
Whether it’s arguing over pointless things or just hanging out or doing pranks together, he adores you
You’ve definitely slowdanced to no music in the Gryffindor common room more than thrice
You and James would sometimes spend nights in the common room just thinking out loud about your future plans
When you said you planned to go abroad, he simply slipped his hand into yours and grinned
“I’ll come with you !”
He might have been a tad drunk but you thought it was adorable
He spent the rest of the night stumbling over his words and insisting on counting all your freckles just for fun if you know what I mean
You blushed at the though and just shook your head at him
You both slept in each other’s arms that night and everyone hollered at you guys in morning
James just pulled you closer and told them to shut up oops
And whenever you get stressed out, James would always be there to make you smile and make a funny face just to earn a chuckle out of you
He’d always be there to hold you when you feel like the stress is getting too much
I feel like he’d ask you out once while you were just talking and you’ll be a little flustered by his sudden question
But you’d kiss his cheek and agree
And James Potter brings well James.. kissed you full on the lips in excitement
And you both have never been happier <3
