Is Gävle never in sunlight? I check this goat out when I go to sleep, dark. I check it out when I wake up, dark. I check in the middle of the day, dark. And I have not seen a single bird this whole time!
#gävlebocken#gävle goat#yes i understand how time zones work and it is probably light when i am sleeping#but that still suggests it is only light for what 5 hours a day? I've gone to bed at very different times and it's always dark!#add on: I'm Canadian im Canadian im Canadian

Do you have any tips or advice for running an artists booth at a convention? I'm thinking about doing it eventually and been wanting to hear from people who have done it before :^)
yeah!!! lemme rattle off a few things off the top a my head
also, pardon me 4 using amazon dot ca links for products that i mention. its just easy to find references that way (and often u can look up the brand and find their non-amazon store etc etc)
this got super long so im putting it under a cut!!
• join an artist alley group!! i'm in this artist alley discord and it is a fantastic place to get info about cons, table display ideas, manufacturer recommendations, etc. there are more than just this group out there and i think there are bigger ones but i personally really like this one ^u^ i make a ton of use of the display resources and manu recommendation channels!
• if you can afford it, be choosy about the events you apply to. there are a lot of cons out there that are fantastic, and a lot that aren't worth the trouble, and i don't necessarily mean small vs big cons. some of my fav events are smaller artist alleys local to me, and most of the artists i know avoid informa (fanexpo) like the plague. check out what other artists have to say about past events and keep an eye out for red flags: personally i find cons with really out of date/poorly advertised social medias and websites that have mismatched info are a warning sign of a mismanaged and not well attended event.
• you don't need a lot of fancy display stuff to start, those sorts of things you can build up over time. im a fan of getting a ton of my display stuff from the dollar store >:)
when you're ready and need the space to display a good amount of art the main thing you wanna pick up is definitely something that gives your table some verticality, whether that's a pvc pipe style setup, pegboards, or modular cube shelving (we all used to use these big heavy grid ones until the plastic sheet covered ones came out and now we all use those. theyre cuter and lighter and fit better on a table and come in more colours yayay. im sure some people still like the grid ones since they fit gridwall accessories tho) there are lots of other ways to display stuff but these r what i am most familiar with. definitely helps to look at youtube and pinterest and discord groups for display ideas!!
another thing you will want to start is a tablecloth. not every con has their tables already covered! there are those plastic picnic ones at dollar stores, and you can thrift bedsheets/fabric too.
• depending on the type of display and art you do you'll need some way to attach signs/prints/charms/etc to your display. i just moved from blu-tack to magnets but i used to use sewing clips (back when i used the grid cubes) and before then masking tape. all of them are okay and cool! except blu-tack. don't make the same mistakes as me it adds like 40 whole minutes to teardown and it leaves gross oil on the prints after some time. evil
• if you don't have business cards you can make a sign with a qr code that links to you/your shop! there are lots of qr code makers online that u can even customize with images and colours and stuff. there will be people that wanna know how to find you again after a con!
• these days a lot of people don't bring cash to conventions and it's pretty vital to bring some sort of card reader or other digital payment method. most of us use square - they recently made it so that the phone app can accept tap! so you don't need to jump for the expensive physical readers. i've also got a paypal dot me qr code and my etransfer email (i think this is a canadian thing) on a lil sign on the table so people have lots of payment options. usually over 50% of my con income comes from non-cash sales!
• make sure to bring change!! we've forgotten in the past and done okay but it's always handy to be able to make change for people. you'll want a secure place to put cash as well, whether it's a locked moneybox that you keep out of sight or a place on your person (friend of mine uses a fanny pack!) you never wanna leave your table completely unattended but especially when it comes to the moneybox. if it's a multi day con this is an item you mustn't leave at your table overnight.
• keep count of your sales and expenses properly so that you can see how much you made at the end of the con. i really like spreadsheets but you can even just note it down in a book. here's a little example of one con for me:
• you'll want to make a checklist of stock and display stuff to bring, but don't forget to make a list of minor stuff like phone chargers and scissors and tape and glue and pens and paper. multiple types of tape and paper if possible. they don't feel super important until you're stuck because you forgot to make a price sign and have to get by with a sharpie and a napkin. don't let that be you!! dollar store sticky note pads are super useful for this type of thing.
• plan out your prices and do as much prep (counting, sign making, display planning, packing/sorting) as you can beforehand so that the event doesn't feel too stressful. make sure your merchandise is stored in an easily accessible way for you behind the table so you aren't scrambling or rummaging too much when people are asking for stuff!
• similarly, whatever you can leave out for people to just pick/grab themselves, the more of it you're likely to sell. things like stickers and charms are good for this - people like to touch stuff! and it makes it so you don't need to go fishing for items for people as frequently. generally i don't do this with more expensive items just to be safe.
• if you sell prints, people are gonna ask for sleeves to keep them safe, especially at outdoor events. sometimes people ask for sleeves/bags even if they dont buy anything. they're a good idea to have on hand and you can find em for pretty cheap online and for a bit more expensive at dollar stores (i use OPP bags. if you dont wanna use plastic you can always get paper bags/envelopes/glassine bags instead)
• a cushion for the chair is a good idea. lots of conventions have really uncomfy chairs. some folks even bring camping chairs instead!
• pack snacks/lunch/water/drinks/have lunch plans. if you have a table buddy that is able to run out for food that's always nice. you might be sitting but it uses a lot of energy to interface all day!! you'll be exhausted and hungry and it's gonna be important to get enough fuel for your brain to function properly. i genuinely would recommend juice/soda/coffee/energy dink alongside water and food if you wanna live, especially if its a multi day con. get good sleep on days between!
• if you're excited to do trades with other artists during the con, the general etiquette is to wait until later in the day/near the end when the crowds are winding down! it's always okay to ask if someone's doing trades, and don't be upset or press them if they aren't interested or have certain stuff they don't want to trade.
• speaking of con etiquette, depending on the type of vert you are (intro/extro) and or how much customer service experience you have, interfacing can be nervewracking. my general rule is that if they stop to look, i say Hello and let them browse. if they seem interested in my table i try and do some small talk. stuff like How are you/How's the event been for ya/compliments on their outfit/cosplay/merch they have on like pins etc are good! kids and old folks love this. as tiring as it is to do some of my favourite parts of cons is talking to nice people that like my art!! all the folks that say nice things about my work are what keep me drawing ;w; i keep my sketchbook with me to jot down/doodle nice and funny encounters just cus it makes me happy to look back on XD
• when it's teardown time try to put stuff away as neatly as you can. you might be tired and just wanna toss all your stuff into whatever it is you brought it in but i promise future you (especially next-con you) will be so thankful that you put all your price signs into one baggie etc etc.
• speaking of bringing and putting away merch - you'll need a way to get it all from your home/car to your table and back. lots of people use dollies and other types of utility cart (i can guarantee there are a bunch of those grandma grocery ones at your local thrift store!!) - i personally use a big luggage bag and a collapsible wagon, but back in the day we used to CARRY bin after bin of stuff from the car and back in multiple trips which i would NOT reccomend lol. not every convention hall is easily accessible or close to parking so not having to lift stuff if you can avoid it is gonna be vital.

Satisfaction
Warning not prof read, grammar mistakes(naw like i suck at writing lmao), this post is just for fun, i also dont know how to use tumbler so like… this kinda looks ugly lol
Theme warnings!! This post does contain themes of mental illness, cannibalism used as a metaphor for love , violence, disruption of a grave, the main character is not a good person but hes not like… a monster??!. (If yall think i need to add other things then just say so pls!!) THE MAIN CHARACTERS CRINGE PLEASE!!!
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Little bit of context: This story is a submission for a creative writing contest! The theme was Taboo romance and I decided that a horror/thriller would be fun! If you know me irl or recognize this… no you don’t lmao?!?
This story is based off of the intense feelings that i have for my partner that i feel i’m not able to properly explain at times(im in therapy do guys lols) there’s also some refs to things we like lol
October 26th, 2023
It was never hard to tell that I was different from the other boys in school, or anybody for that matter. I was the kid girls would say ‘My homeboy wants you’ to or the kinda guy that was asked out as a joke, it got old after 5th grade but never stopped. Senior year was by far the worst one of them all, his name was Keith, and he wasn’t super pretty or anything like that, he was a nerd who would walk me to my bus stop and ramble on and on about how different Pokémon gods symbolized different things. I honestly liked him and he was cute, but i more than liked him, i wanted him all to myself, i still have a few of his leg hairs lying around; i like to sniff them to try and imagine how he tastes slow cooked like oxtail.
December 15th, 2023
Nevermind he’s a weirdo and it turned out he liked Pokémon in unholy ways[someone check on his dog please], his meat was tainted so I lost interest in him. But my eyes didn't take long to wonder, there was a boy who was Canadian and he seemed rather nice, no he was beyond the kindness that any human should be able to give. He was like taking a bite of my first love [which i didn't know what it felt like, but i was guessing it was nice.] I loved talking to him honestly, he woke up around 8am and went to sleep at 12am but sometimes we went all night. I had no problem risking my sleep for him[it's not like my AP classes would be any better.] He was intoxicating, to say the least.
January 10th, 2024
I wanted him badly, like I wanted to wake up next to him, kiss him, hug him, I wanted to wine and dine him if I ever got the chance . The only problem was that well…he lived in Canada, he always talked of how he had mixed feelings about his country and I always told him that it could be worse. I mean he could be here for all he cares, but I'd never want my meat to be tainted by this land, these people[I'm such a proud American]. So I was going to go to him. I decided to save for the month. It was going to take a few overtime shifts and even snagging a couple of bucks from some buds but I was going to get the money and make it to canada.
February 10th, 2024
The plane ride was rather boring without being able to text him, and even more so because the woman next to me didn't know social etiquette, like I was supposed to care that she got unlucky with life and contracted chlamydia. There was also this brony, which I found a sin in itself, but he smelled… like bad but it also made me snicker because it just reminds me of keith.
February 11th, 2024 6:27pm
Canada was a beautiful place but I had no reason to stay and admire it when all I cared for was my own appetite. But i couldn't help but let childish implusies pull me into a store full of valentine's day sales, what caught my eyes are the matching trolls cups, i couldn't help but get them wanting to see the response he would give to the gift[I love my adult money privileges].
February 12th-15th[was… busy?]
I felt bad for him hes so nice and kind, so nice he just took me in without a second thought about how I found him or his home, we took a tour of his room and its nice it was just as nerdish as him, but i came here with a plan and i came here to execute it as such. His skin was nice, so I took some as my own and it hurt a lot. I think I splashed some blood on his favorite blanket, but anywho, why is the human skull so hard ? I thought it was gonna be like a nut and would just take a few hacks to crack it open but noooo he just had to be hard headed. I did get it open[almost breaking my wrist doing so] but I had no plans for a meal, I mean it's not every day you just cook up some brain, but we managed. I ended up using the brain for spaghetti; I mashed it all up to make meat balls and must I say they were delicious. His brain was so tender, it melted like butter, but it also had a slight chew to it, not a taint in sight. The ‘wine’ I had with it was a little thick but it was his so I drank without complaint. I was also quite proud of my cup purchase :D. Poppy was right… trolls do just wanna have fun
???, 2024 2:34 AM
My head hurt, like a lot, I thought eating my love would make me feel better and full. Yet here I stand before his grave, my arms barely mobile as I dug him out, freeing him from the pits of the afterlife without me. A month he left me alone, a month with this hunger for more of him. His stupid casket was the thing that stood between me and my love, my satisfaction of being full.
There he was, as beautiful as the day I feasted upon him. I took my shirt off to show him that I still kept a piece of him with me. I touched his skin on my chest as I looked at mine on his. Death would never do us part so long as he had me attached to him. I would go through the redemptions of purgatory to see him flutter in the clouds of heaven. It felt like a sin to touch him again, to feel him to embrace him as I laid to rest beside him. Fresh tears poured down my face as I pulled the cover over the casket. This time I am not left behind, this time I am not alone.
“W-why — Why has your body left me so full, so satisfied. Yet I am starved for your love to grace me again.” I murmured softly as I caressed his face.
——————————————————————————————————
I hope you guys liked this… cus um im super proud of it even if it didn’t win!!!

Bro I'm so sorry if you're getting tired of me showing up in your inbox, I just have random thoughts and questions that I have to share. Still, sorry :(
Okay, actual reason why I'm here is that I have some questions regarding CDTA and RR: 1.) For both CDTA and RR, where do they take place (currently)? // 2.) Since CDTA is your own project, things like the TV/mirror ban don't exist, so Isaac legally owns a computer along with Sarah + Peter? // 3.) When does CDTA and RR take place (like afterwards when everything is done)? // 4.) What are their canon nationalities/heights for no particular reason? // 5.) Can I pretty please add Delilah and her buddy (also where are they living lol)??
Bye bye now, this might be the last thing you'll get in your inbox for a week if my brain decides to function properly
there's no need to apologize! even if i may not answer right away, im always down to chat about blorbos and ocs ❤
anyway, to answer the questions
at the most recent point in both stories, the CDTA cast (including delilah and sam) lives in Rochester, New York, and Peter and Sarah live in rural farm country in Ohio while the cult members are still in Detroit, Michigan (the ohio location is kinda kept vague on purpose)
indeed! so far the only legal restrictions devils have caused are increased drug regulation (particulary regarding psychedelics) and most paranormal equipment being banned (though this isn't enforced very well lol)
CDTA at it's most recent point in the timeline is summer 2011 (still working out exact months), while rotten roots' most recent point is October 1983.
since delilah and sam are just canon characters in CDTA now, you absolutely can include them!
almost everyone in both cdta and rotten roots are american, save for the supernatural entities like luce, cairyx, and michael, as well as elijah and cassandra who are canadian. here's all the heights:
Rotten Roots:
sarah - 5'7
peter - 5'11
officer wong - 5'5
norman - 6'2
steve - 6ft
isabelle - 5'2
cut down the altar!
isaac - 5'11
joshua - 6'3
jessie - 5'9
madeline - 5'4
leah - 6ft
sam - 6'5
delilah - 5'3
luce - 10ft
cairyx - 7ft in spider alien form, 6ft in human form
elijah - 6'1
cassandra - 5'6
#ask the skeleton#cdta#cut down the altar#ct rotten roots#stuff like the heights and worldbuilding will b on the neocities page for future reference#i promise it's getting very close to done 🙏#sadly don't think im gonna have it done before the new cabin tales comes out T_T

jaynie's psa
as per my bio, an outlet for the rawest me. trying to find and share who i am - unfiltered in any way. posts will range from kittens to my kinkiest kinks. based on my archive, seems more the latter.
33. she/they. Canadian. single/not looking. lesbian when it comes to love. a toy when it comes to pleasure (mine or others).
if you follow, i will apologize in advance for the sunday morning sex spam that is likely to happen. its my 'me' time morning of the week, spent in bed, destroying my sheets before a weekly washing. that said, i've a high sex drive and can possibly spam any day/hour of the week. sorry.
also. assume any reference to cock (visual or written) is pictured in my head as girl cock (strap or otherwise) or monster cock (yes monster you read that right). tbh i've no interest in straight male cock.. unless i'm blindfolded, bound and subject to the desires of Her that holds my pleasure - then i'll do as im told. yes - glory holes have been a thing for me. weird as fuck eh? that's just me. accept it or move on.
if you consider your gender or race superior than any others, please gtf off my blog.
if you don't support the LGBTQIA+ community, you also have no place here.
Men. DNI. i've had too much taken already by a man. if i feel anything off, i'll just block. if you fetish-ize wlw, you'll be blocked. if you do choose to follow me, i will check out your blog and chances are high that i'll just block you. save yourself the time and trouble.
no age. no posts. will block. for obvious reasons. if you really care, take a moment to add a short bio and actually post some shit. kinda the point.
there are a lot of 'safe places' that arent truly safe. but here you will find no judgement. if i can help i will. if you don't get a response its cuz i'm not online, not able to respond, struggling with my own depression or anxiety. but i will respond when i can.
more to come. maybe. for now, hope you enjoy.
jaynie

Ive learned like 3 crochet skills in the past two weeks and i feel like ive been filled with so much raw energy i could benchpress a jeep. a whole new section of craft stores has opened up to me. learning how to do a basic granny square has given me enough power i could rip into someone's neck with my teeth at a moment's notice. i dont even intend to move on from the granny square. i'm whooping and hollering like im at a football game looking at these little square dudes. what the fuck. i didnt need another expensive hobby. i'm literally a quilter. do you know how expensive quilting is? even when i use recycled thrifted tired old fabrics? cheapy gross polyester batting instead of The Good Stuff? it adds up. i spent 5 whole canadian dollars on thread the other day and that spool will last me one quilt max. and yet i must persist. the siren call of fussy-cut squares and triangles lures me in no matter how hard i resist. But that's the thing: i dont even bother resisting. instead of rethinkin my hobbies I'm over here crawling through thrift stores like a gross little rat looking for 2.99 unstained sheets to use in more quilts. and now i have more motherfucking texile squares to deal with. im drowning in these squares and yet i love them so much i am emerging from my squares pile like a baby being birthed but instead of coming out of the womb crying i am coming out of my textile mountain cackling and writhing like i have a chainsaw in me. i am so mentally well and sane it's unreal

hey Пчёлка! (sorry for the unoriginality but it's literally 3am 😅)
IT SNOWED TODAY!!!! not a lot but i'm still excited :D
I gotta answer the favourite ice cream flavour question from the ask game first because I've found out something very interesting.
Ok so i'm about to say something very weird and apparently very Canadian, but my favourite ice cream flavour is tiger tail(tiger tiger, tiger, tiger stripe. I've seen many variations) ANYway this is gonna sound like a weird combo if you haven't tried it but it's basically orange ice cream with black licorice ice cream swirled throughout it (weird ik) but while I was looking up the actual proper name of the ice cream I found out it's a Canadian only thing, not only that but it's a regional flavour so only certain parts of Canada has it???
anyway I fell down a loop hole and now need to know what you call the metal shopping carts at the store, knitted caps that you wear during winter, and also what do you call you 1 dollar coins? (buggy, tuque, and loonie for me)
November kinda sucked but it's the last week (were'd all the time go?) I started a new job this week which is really exciting
DUDE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO START PRIORY OT THE ORANGE TREE! it's been sitting on my bookshelf for way too long
I finally seen legally blonde and it was sooooo good, I watched in with a group so i'll probably need to re-watch it later, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IT isn't actually that scary unless you don't like clowns, in which case it might not be your piece of cake
man weather is so weird. one time at the end of august I remember it started to snow while we were driving home not for very long but still strange. I had you use the converter thingy to understand 70°F but 21°C IS UNREASONABLE FOR FALL! THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. Right now its -1°C with the low for tomorrow(today now) at -13°C which i'm kinda dreading.
it's not really important but I did want to say when I started talking to you I was using she/they(i think i was?) but now i'm using they/them so that's cool I guess 👍
regale me with your random LOTR facts I only knew 2 of the last facts so if you have more i'd love to hear them!
I also liked to mix up spices when cooking as a kid. Most of the time it didn't work well but one time I found out that if you're making a sweet carrot cake (or cakes like that) and you're making cream cheese frosting, adding a bit of garam masala to the frosting adds a bit of a kick and cuts the sweetness in a non overpowering way!
i'm so glad I can further continue my 'everyone I talk to must listen to alvvays' agenda. I don't think I have a favourite song on the album but I do love Pressed and Belinda Says. Also turns out that Blue Rev is a Canadian only drink made Ontario.
y'know what's homophobic to me specifically? Both my favourite bands have only 1 show here and it's in Toronto (very far from me) IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. Toronto winters aren't particularly nice.
Music thoughts from the last couple of days are really old french songs (the classics from like Lucienne Boyer and Edith Piaf, that kind of music) they all kinda remind me of the comforting orange of street lamps in the dark and drawing before going to bed
signed someone who's literally so close to falling asleep
-el
IM SO SORRY MY INBOX INTIMIDATES ME AND SOMETIMES I JUST IGNORE IT
Hello my darlin’ El!! My favorite Canadian! My favorite anon!
Nothing to apologize for, my dear. That nickname is probably my favorite ever, I’ll never get tired of it
SNOW, that’s so cool!!! We actually got a little bit here in the last couple weeks too! Barely any, but something!! Just a ✨dusting✨
Okay so that sounds so strange and I HAVE to try it. If I ever visit Canada, I am searching this out 👀 Idk if it’s regional, but we have a snow cone flavor called tiger’s blood! It’s kind of like a fruit punch sort of flavor. I was more of a cotton candy kid. Or the weirdo who got banana flavor
Regional dialects are so fucking cool!!! For us, it’s shopping cart, beanie, and penny!idk what it is but tuque is just such a fun word. Very pleasing to say, feels nice, idk. Maybe I’m just a weirdo LMAO. I’m trying to think of some of the weirder regional words, but my brain is so empty right now.
Oh congrats on the new job!!! How is it going?? I’m sorry your November was rough, I hope December treated you more kindly! It’s been a rollercoaster for me, but I have a feeling 2023 will be a good year for me. I’m being stubbornly optimistic 🫡
Speaking of!!! Happy new year! Do you have any resolutions??
Did you start Priory? If you have, what do you think?? It’s high on my list, but I recently got One Last Stop and Gideon the Ninth, so I bumped it down. I’ve GOT to read OLS so I can read the Ronance au, and Gideon the Ninth is just,,, lesbian necromancers in space and I’ve been obsessed with it despite not reading it ever
Oklahoma weather my beloathed! She’s a wicked she-devil!! We’ve gone from a pleasant 21°C to -29°C wind chills in the span of a week!! I love it soooooooo much!!! (Kill me please.) I hope your weather has been tamer and you’re staying warm up north!!
Oh that’s so cool dude!! Good to know!! I’ll make sure I remember <33 They/them pronouns kinda hit different man. I’ve swapped mine officially from she/they to they/she. Not a huge difference but something in my chest feels so much lighter with they 🥰 Gender fuckery is fun
More silly LOTR facts, eh? Well, J*ke G*llenhall auditioned for the role of Frodo Baggins! Supposedly it was one of the worst auditions! Christopher Lee, Saruman, is the only actor to have met JRR Tolkien himself! Believe it or not, Nicolas Cage was the original pick to play Aragorn! I still think Viggo Mortensen is one of the best casting choices of all time tho, sorry Nick
Oh I’ve never heard of that! I’m writing it down for future baking purposes 🫡 I have recently discovered that garlic powder and onion powder are my best friends and I will put that shit on everything
Incredible choices! I need to give the album another listen. Maybe I can Ronanceify a song in your honor <33
That’s terrible!!! I am so very sorry <33 I get the feeling man, even a lot of US tours just,,, skip over Oklahoma. I’m sooooooooo bitter about Noah Kahan not stopping by somewhere I can see him. The closest show is a state away, 4 hour drive with current gas and hotel prices? YIKES. But! I got Paramore tickets and I WILL lose my entire shit that day
Definitely will check those out! Personal music thoughts for me,, still obsessing over the entire Stick Season album, but The View Between Villages especially. Been really into the hot gay girl shit/lesbian villain arc kind of genre. Devil Is A Woman by Cloudy June? Incredible
With warmth and sincere apologies for the weight,
- Max/Lo
#elmax anon#AND AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WEIGHT#wait#not weight#I know the difference#I am a Writer#goddamn#it’s my turn to respond at 3 am#so the late hour is my excuse

I just wanted to say !!! because I'm also transracial (asuan adopted by white europeans) and I've gotten SO tired of people associating "transracial" with racist white people who think they can just choose to be another race. So it's just really nice to see someone else who's actually transracial talking about it. I know it's not the focus of your blog but yeah, it means a lot. And you've helped me a lot with understanding psychosis, both mine and others' too. This turned into a long winded way of saying thanks for all you do on this blog, so thanks for all you do on this blog!
as an excuse to talk a little more about being transracial (specifically, indigenous canadian/Metis & transracial)...
i am not fully indigenous, i should add. i'm Metis (mixed.) because my dad's birth records were destroyed/didnt include any information on his parents and lineage (as were all of his indigenous siblings', he was born in '68 when wiping out indigenous people was Very A Thing) i have no way to reconnect with the indigenous side of my family. in fact, all we know about our indigenous side is that they lived in Saucer Bay, Ontario. i'm actually the one who found out we're Anishinaabe, and even then, Anishinaabe is a collective of all the different peoples who live in southern ontario, and there's no way for me to find out exactly where we come from. my aunt (who he found in his 20s or 30s?) has done some research but she didn't get very far either.
my dad was crazy white-washed, especially because his parents were like 40 or 50 when they adopted him, so he basically skipped a generation of parenting and is a boomer (he is literally Gen-X, but everyone who knows him agrees he doesn't act like it.) AKA, he's super fucking racist and completely rejects being indigenous. he has no interest whatsoever in reconnecting with his indigenous family.
this is all to say: because i pass so well as white, was raised white, and my dad considers himself white, even if i knew my indigenous family... i would struggle to feel okay about reconnecting with them. i would feel appropriative, gross and like i don't belong. i want to, and i also feel like if i don't, im contributing to the erasure of my own peoples' history, and i'm betraying my ancestors; contributing to the oppression that got me here in the first place. but i still just can't feel okay about it. it can be hard watching indigenous people on the internet talk about their cultures, especially Anishinaabe people. i've heard a lot of indigenous folks on the internet say that people like me ARE native, and we have a right to reconnect with them, but i just... i dont think theyre talking about me. i probably wont ever reconnect with them, even if given the opportunity. is this internalized racism? would it even be internalized? i dont know.
alright i gotta stop talking about it im gna actually cry LOL but yeah #struggle
oh fun fact! my biological grandmother on his side (the indigenous one) was in a residential mental health center! for what? dont know! schizophrenia? maybe! that would sure be useful information for me to have :0))) but thats too much to ask for apparently! /s
#mostly i just have white facial features#very green eyes and a big ol tall sniffer courtesy of my ukrainian-polish mother#to be fair my dad also has green eyes? but he has 10x more melanin than me. i also stay out of the sun tho & i am not really THAT pale#at least compared to white ppl and how pale they would be if they stayed out of the sun as much as i do#me nd my dad dont burn tho LOL. my sister does sucks 2 suck LKFHAKSHG#oh god and my skin is so thick. i actually didnt know my skin was super thick until i pinched my white bf's skin LOL#i was like wowie no wonder ur sensitive#ALSO because my name is luna and my skin isnt White People White my bf tells me that his peers think im hispanic until they know otherwise#or romani? i think ppl have said i look romani before also? cant remember#i shouldnt be talking so much about this i dont think im exactly an authority on race. rambling in tags ends now#not dog#personal#mild feelings#asks

just got the notification that my base is officially in transit to the USA, so im gonna discuss my plans for him rq :]
so basically, all my fursonas have historically been feline (once i got over my horse art phase. i was never really connected to my horse sona anyways). i WOULD have gotten a feline headbase, but the problem with that is very few makers specifically sell a BOBCAT base, it's usually a canadian lynx or domestic cat or lion or something. cool, but i love focusing on small details in species differences so it would bug me forever if i put my bobcat fursona on a canadian lynx base. the other issue is that if i DID make a fursuit for my bobcat sona, i would 100% want a realistic base, since her cartoony design changes so often. plenty of makers sell realistic 3d printed or resin bases, however i am NOT confident in my ability to transfer a realistic design onto a base myself (especially since most realism fursuits involve airbrushing. i dont think i could do that well in an ideal environment, much less my 115 square foot bedroom which is my only workspace). i just dont feel i would be able to do her justice... and i wouldnt really want a toony styled head for my actual fursona.
and making a base myself isn't an option because 1. i cant even sculpt clay symmetrically, it'd drive me crazy if i tried it and 2. aforementioned tiny apartment problems. im not dealing with foam going everywhere... OR learning how to 3d model and print or resin pour or whatever else people use to make fursuits.
so i was looking through makers just for funsies and then i found the opossum base by ligris cybernetics / ligrisprints. and idk why but every ounce of my impulsive body decided "YES. OPOSSUM FURSUIT. NOW." ive never even had an opossum fursona before so i have no idea why i was suddenly so sure about it. but i was! so i decided to just make a new character specifically for this project.
i decided on the name silas (at the URL implies) and i designed a quick character on the fly, based entirely off of photos of real opossums instead of already having an idea. this was interesting for me, since i didnt realize how common the white spots on opossum ears are? i always thought they were only black, but most photos i found showed a little bit of pink/white so i added it to the design
(quick sketch, drawn over the sale image on ligris cybernetics' website. i also loosely based this off of the stylization of my one other opossum character's design. the black bits under the eyes are going to be eyelashes, cut out of felt. the grey will PROBABLY be fur markings, but i might change that to black felt too)
opossums are also fairly easy to design, since they are typically recognizable with only two fur colors (white and grey), and their faces are usually mostly white. it'll be easier for me if i only have to buy two fur colors.
another thing i'm planning on is having handpaws- this will be easy since opossums always have naked fingers... so i'm planning on just buying a pair of fingerless gloves and adding fur to the glove part and leaving my fingers out. will be much easier to wear too
one thing im unsure of is how to fur a moving jaw... ill need to look up some tutorials for this. because i think if i dont add at least a little fur around the hinge, the mouth will look way too wide...
another small issue is that this maker tells tpu ears for basically any species EXCEPT opossums. so my plan is to buy some fosshape plastic and make ears out of that? ill also add minky fur OR felt to them to add the color patterns. i havent decided between the two yet, but i think painting the ears would look strange? even if it's technically more accurate for the real animal.
i also got some fur color swatches a few weeks ago. getting swatches from fursuitsupplies, i tried out baby pink monster, silver lux fox, super short white, silver beaver, and silver lux shag. i like the color of the silver lux fox best, but the texture of the lux shag seems better for an opossum character, so i'm unsure. the beaver feels nice but is too short for what i want the longer bits of fur to be. the super short is nice, but i will still probably get the fur all in one length and just shave it. the monster fur feels gross to touch so i'm definitely not using that. i already know what minky fabric is like so i didn't bother getting samples for that (but i probably will order samples when i decide concretely on what fur to get once the base comes in, just to be sure of the color before i spend money on it).
i'm thinking of covering the nose of the base with pink minky OR pink felt, but i'm not sure if that would work with the base, so i'll decide that once i actually get my hands on it. otherwise, i will be painting it. i also think i'm gonna make a tongue with minky fabric
tail will also be a thing. since opossum tails are prehensile, i want to make it posable... i thought about using plastic ball joints / doll spines, but i know from my longfurby adventures that those are kind of heavy, so i think i will use wire instead.
not gonna bother with a bodysuit, those sound hellish to walk around in. i'm just gonna wear long sleeves and long pants
another thing i an excited / nervous about is adding hair... i want silas to have hair. SPECIFICALLY revenge era gerard way hair
and i know a lot of fursuit makers create hair by putting together pulled-out yarn OR brushing out fur both ways... but i don't like how that looks. since if were meant to believe that a plush in the case of a fursuit tail is flesh, and fur is their actual skin/fur... then it's just like... amorphous globosus... or a gigantic skin tag / tumor... TO ME... many fursuits make this look amazing don't get me wrong but i just couldnt get it out of my head if it was on my own suit. so i decided that i'm going to try and weft the hair, like in this tutorial? https://www.tiktok.com/@chaoticreations/video/7334668616350092577 (sorry for tiktok link, i know this creator uploads to youtube but i couldn't find the short) and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo4FCmT1DP8 i'm thinking that depending on how i'm able to fur the head, i might be able to make a kind of wig thing that magnets on? i don't want to add the hair directly onto the head in case it looks like shit and i get tired of it, so i want it easily removable. might use velcro instead... also want it really long in the back.
i also got the eye mesh pre-installed on the head by the maker. which will be easy for me if i like it... however i DID request slit pupils and i'm second guessing that decision right now. i'm also unsure if i shouldve made them green instead of grey... but i guess i'll see it once it arrives :]
i also was JUST barely in the sizing for a "small" size head according to this maker, but just to be safe i ordered a "medium" size head instead. if it's to big (which it probably will be), i'm going to add foam inside, which will probably make it more comfortable anyways. iirc you can also use foam to hide the hinges in moving jaws? so i can just use the foam for that too. not sure yet.
and i already have sandpaper and stuff for sanding down the 3d print. just gotta wait for it to arrive... probably a month since it's gonna go from poland to the usa... if it gets lost in shipping i WILL cry (since mail people love to just not deliver to my apartment complex. because apartments are haaaaaaaard to deliver to (even though all the doors are easily accessible from the street with no key necessary)...)

Best of New Colossus 2024
I'm currently recovering from a busy New Colossus Festival and a few folk have asked for rundown of my faves, so here you go.
First of all, this years fest was my absolute favorite and it was great to see so many packed venues appreciating the music. I've been every year to this festival, I love it and long may it continue.
If you don't know what it's all about it's similar to SXSW, or Iceland Airwaves, or a personal favorite of mine back home - The Great Escape in Brighton. Tons of small venues showcasing new and upcoming bands. New Colossus leans towards indie, rock and shoegaze, but there's a smattering of other genres too all in the best small venues in the Lower East Side, NYC.
Here's what I enjoyed the most:
Cucamaras
Possibly the festival highlight for me. Nottingham band taking influences from early Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines DC, Yard Act. As with a lot of these new bands their Spotify list doesn't really do them justice, you have to see them live.
youtube
NOBRO
Definitely the most fun set of the week. 4 piece canadian all female punk band, with sing-a-long choruses, crowd surfing and smiles galore. My fave chant: EAT! SLAY! CHARDONNAY!
youtube
Reme
Half spanish, half english classic rock, super talented musicians. Sleeves proudly adorned by all their influences, Beatles, Bowie, Queen, Elton John all come through, another fantastic live band.
youtube
Scrounge
Two piece, reverse White Stripes formation. Killer riffs and angry vocals. This is an instant classic. Formidable live.
youtube
Langkamer
Bristol lads with a drummer / singer. Sound like Pavement, Belle & Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub. Full of catchy melodies and fun lyrics.
youtube
O.Wake
I broke my no local band rule for O.Wake, as they play regularly in NYC along with my other local faves Mary Shelley and TVOD. But Im glad I did. They're a little hard to pigeonhole, the new single is quite funky phoenix style indie, great lyrics and songs that veer in all sorts of directions but usually with a great hook.
youtube
Slash Need
Certainly won't be a lot of peoples cup of tea, but if they're on a festival you're at this year - GO SEE THEM. Musically they're dark electronica, I would imagine Peaches is a big influence and if you know the belgian dance band GOOSE similar sounding to them. Visually, it's a feast, lead by a fierce lead singer, heavy beats and two gimp-like dancers that get uncomfortably close.
youtube
Hotel Mira
Probably the most primed for a main stream audience out of all this list. Radio friendly indie-pop with a very enigmatic lead singer but you can't deny they got tunes and they're good fun live.
youtube
Minas
The most intense set of the week. Difficult to categorize again, nearest I can think of is The Prodigy. Welsh rap / industrial noise / metal?? I honestly don't know, but they put on a helluva show. Two of the best heckles came out of this set, 1. "MORE YELLING PLEASE" after a particularly shouty track and 2. "Are YOU OK?" a response to the singer asking us if we're OK after a track which had him pounding the floor and screaming. Terrifying, but super interesting.
youtube
Holiday Ghosts
Perhaps the polar opposite to Minas, bright sunny indie, chock full of tunes from Brighton / Falmouth. Hints of a milder Sleater Kinney.
youtube
I've done a spotify playlist with these and a few more artists I liked the sound of but didn't get round to watching so check it out .
While I have you my general 2024 new music playlist is taking shape, so give that a follow too and I'll continue to add to it.

Ranking every original show currently airing on Game Show Network because I have nothing better to do
Yes, I know. Game shows are for old people. I'm reminded of that with every prescription drug commercial, but I still watch game shows at age 22, and dangit, I'm proud, so here we go.
America Says: Of course I have to start with what has to be GSN's flagship show. John Michael Higgins hosts in this show where two teams of four take turns guessing blanks off a board with a question like "When I go to the amusement park, I always ride the ___ first." As far as game shows go, this one's pretty standard except for when the contestants start singing or dancing during the get to know you segment, and JMH is more than willing to engage in the silliness. They air it for hours at a time, and you know what, I can just keep watching. This show is only one of many that follow the unfortunate GSN trend of forcing contestants to give stupid answers because there's no pass option, but there's always room for America Says on my TV. 8/10 I can't believe the only team to get a perfect score is The Canadians.
People Puzzler: Take the People magazine crossword, put it on a giant screen, turn it into a game show, and get "King of Queens" star Leah Remini to host it. This show is iconic mainly because of Leah Remini. She definitely has way more sass than most game show hosts, and she's not afraid to tell contestants when they're wrong. ("It's okay, Hector. We won't judge." *looks judgmentally at the camera*) However, she will also tell contestants "you were so close" if they lose the final round even if they only get, like, five answers. It also has the most samba-rific theme song on GSN. If you're looking for a good dose of chaos on weekdays at 9 am central, watch People Puzzler. 9/10 When are we getting the New York Times crossword puzzle game show?
Master Minds: This one is one of the biggest head-scratchers on the network when it comes to the questions, and it doesn't help that the contestants are pitted against three trivia "master minds" (if you want to know the type of people I'm talking about, Ken Jennings is one of them). This show is entertaining to watch partially because of how challenging the questions are and because of Brooke Burns's hosting job. The Beast (who originally debuted alongside Burns on The Chase, another iconic show that has gone the way of the dinosaur) has joined the lineup of master minds this season. I know they probably did it for views, but it allows Brooke and Beastie's dynamic to continue on. This show has the interesting gimmick that if a contestant wins the final round (not just the show but also the Ultimate Trivia Challenge at the end), they get to come back for the next episode, and if they win three times, they become a master mind. This seems nigh-impossible considering how hard it is to win once, but apparently, it has happened before. 8/10 I miss The Chase.
Common Knowledge: This show is honestly kinda mid. Sometimes, I forget it exists. The questions are described as "things everybody should know" as in various life hacks (example: What should you do if you get doggy business on your shoe?) The problem is that the knowledge doesn't seem so common, and most of the time, I'm left thinking, "How am I supposed to know that?" There's also the gimmick that if all three people on a team give the same answer, they get a bonus if they're correct. I personally would add a smaller point bonus if two people picked the same answer to further promote answering similarly. Lastly, Joey Fatone's hosting kind of falls flat. Every time a contestant answers correctly, he says, "Is it (answer)? It is!" 5/10 The theme song is just one treble note and two bass notes.
Chain Reaction: This is the third version of Chain Reaction produced by GSN and the second hosted by Dylan Lane, who still manages to be hot despite being bald. It's a shame I don't watch it as much because I don't normally watch TV while it's on. This version improves on the 2006 version in many ways. For one thing, they got rid of the "guys vs. girls" gimmick and now allow coed teams. Secondly, they replaced that bullshit in the final round where two teammates have to make questions one word at a time with three speed chains. However, the 2006 version has it beat in terms of the theme song ("It starts with 'word.' There's a G underneath. Guess the word 'game,' and you're right. The word 'game' starts a chain. Pick a letter. Take a guess. Connect a chain. Win some cash. It's guys against girls right now on Chain Reaction.") 7/10 As it turns out, this version only ran until 2022, but it's still cool. If they reboot it again, they need to bring the old theme song back.
Switch: This show is actual bullshit. There is no scoring system. There are five big numbers on stage, and you move towards number one with right answers and towards number five with wrong answers. This means that if you're in spot number 5, get a question right, and everyone else gets it wrong, you're shooting straight to the top, and if you do it on the last question of the round, you get to move on even if you did terribly on the rest of the questions. It's like Splatoon Turf War in a bad way. I would personally add a point value to each number to keep track of each contestant's position throughout the show with the lowest-scoring contestant getting the boot after each round. I don't remember the host's name, and to be honest, I don't care. He always asks contestants why they picked the answer they did, forcing them to admit they guessed most of the time, and sometimes I wonder if he's going to get carpal tunnel from doing the "switch" gesture with his hands all the time. 0/10 Just add a scoring system.
Split Second: They gave John Michael "There is a GSN executive with his hand up my shirt" Higgins a second show. (I kid you not. He said that.) It was originally hosted by Monty Hall, but GSN has given it new life. In this show, contestants have to answer questions with split-second reactions. First of all, I have to appreciate how much less misogynistic JMH is than Monty Hall. Second, they split the points among the contestants who got the question right, making it that much more important to be the only one to get each question right. It also makes it equally likely for the contestants to be close in score and for one person to just sandbag in last, and you never know what you're going to get. The final round is close to impossible. You're supposed to answer seven questions in 60 seconds, and I've only seen two people win it. 6/10 It's got the second most samba-rific theme song on GSN.
Hey Yahoo: The newest show on GSN. I originally expected to be disappointed because it's not about the weird stuff they ask on Yahoo Answers (think "how is prangent formed"). Instead, it's a combination of America Says, People Puzzler, and Family Feud where teams have to guess questions that are formatted as autocomplete suggestions for questions one might ask on Yahoo specifically. The show is hosted by Tom Cavanagh (whom I call knockoff Tom Kenny for reasons you'll understand once you see him), and he's on the "more personality" side of the spectrum if you put Leah Remini on one end and the Switch guy on the other, but the one thing that has more personality is his suits. The weirdest feature is that if an individual contestant gets a question wrong, they're eliminated for the rest of the round, which seems out of place for a team-based competition. I also gotta give a shoutout to the soundtrack. The theme song sounds like something from a hoedown, and the track for the lightning round is quiet and pensive while still having that hoedown sound. It's slowly climbing my favorites list. 5/10 YaHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Tug of Words: I've literally only seen half an episode of this because it airs so early, and it was this morning, but here are my impressions of it. This show involves two teams of two guessing words using a six-letter word with two letters highlighted and a definition. The answer involves changing out the highlighted letters. (Example: The word is FLAUNT. Clue: Proficient in a language. Answer: FLUENT.) There is no scoring system. Instead, there is a virtual flag that moves closer to one team's side with each question they get right. The team who has the flag on their side wins the round. This show does a better job than Switch at being fair without a scoring system. The position of the flag keeps track of both teams' progress in relation to each other unlike Switch, where everything can be jumbled at a moment's notice. I don't remember the host's name. I think it's Samantha something. She seems friendly and entertaining enough, but she briefly lost her balance in those heels the costume department has her in. Lastly, this show is unique on GSN in the sense that it has rave music for the theme song. 5/10 It looks interesting, but it airs too early for me.

hiii!! i love seeing your collection, do you have any recommendations of websites etc for hunting down p5 merch? im outside the usa so things like mercari arent an option for me unfortunately T_T
Hi! I have many but some might be more or less effective depending on Where outside of the US you are. As I am Canadian, my options are a lot more feasible than say... someone from Europe yk. (god shipping fees are insane)
I will say, a huge chunk of my collection was bought off of Mercari or American Ebay, or American stores like BigBadToyStore and I just wanna make that clear. Two of these sites ship to places outside of the US still, but it's so much cheaper to get it sent to American friend and then over to me.
This got longer than I thought whoops under the cut it goes.
Anyway onto the actual recs. As always I have to shill Myfigurecollection.net. You can sort by the exact figure you're looking for, local currency, free or paid shipping and it's really handy. On top of that you can interact with the sites database or forum features! Make a wishlist or a list of a fave character's merch you want. Track what you've ordered already and when it's expected to arrive or be released from preorder. Find forum posts from your region about people discussing good places to buy from and so much more. It's such a huge and amazing tool for someone into collecting so long as you can get over the UI. Personally I've never found issues with it but I'm used to how older websites work anyway.
(Here is me sorting by European currency. There are so many euro sellers im jealous.)
Pros of mfc:
• Figures are usually in good condition and can even be mint in box. (you can even sort by condition, wow!)
• users are polite and can be negotiated with for a better deal oftentimes
Cons of mfc:
• This is not a site that focuses solely on selling like ebay, it's more like an ad section in the newspaper
• You have to trust who you are buying from as there's no 'insurance' so to speak. If you get scammed, there's no refunds and mods won't help you aside from banning the user, unlike actual buy and sell sites which have policies or insurance.
Next up is Zenmarket. This is a proxy site that allows me to buy straight from japan! What's handy about it is that you can browse multiple japanese sites straight within zenmarket's site. I can pick up items from Amazon.jp, JP Mercari, and Yahoo Auctions and have 'em all in one cart! You can also paste links into a special search bar if you've found a specific item you'd like to buy from a JP site. I personally browse JP Mercari and Rakuma the most. I like second-hand figures and both these places have good deals since they're flea-market esque sites. Yahoo!Auctions I've only bought one thing from, and I haven't had a *bad* experience per se, I just don't like auctions and buyout prices lol. Always so pricey... but I'm sure there's good deals to be had if you're willing to do a bidding battle. Pro tip! Search with japanese terms to get better results.
(Browsing a listing and the main mercari page, unsorted)
Zenmarket hasn't let me down before. They're speedy, and all my stuff has been well packed.
Pros:
• Can get the best base prices buying straight from japan
• Super simple layout and bundling orders is really easy
•Items can be held in their warehouse for 45 days if something happens/you wanna wait before bundling it into a package. You can also pay to extend this time.
•Quick shipping from the warehouse
•probably more lol
Cons
•If you're not american, shipping is gonna be like $30 CAD lol. At least you can fit multiple items in one box...? I got 2 books and several t-shirts without going over the small packet limit. i haven't used zennarket express, but if your shit is very small i think its about 10 dollars cheaper.
• ¥300 yen fee per item batch. So if I get a figure and book from Mercari I'll have to pay a ¥300 fee. If I then add something from Amazon or a different site other than Mercari to my cart, I'll have to pay another ¥300 fee. I don't mind this as its like what. 3 dollars? but if you're buying a lot from all over it can potentially rack up shit. also ppl just dont like fees so it's a con.
I also of course use ebay. I feel like I don't need to get into how ebay works so onto BRAND NEW MERCH CONDITION sitessss
I used to use Aitai Kuji but their selection of stuff is kinda mid these days so I stray from it. I've had good experiences with Ukiyo Kumo but it has a similar problem with Aitai Kuji.
Another site for brand-new merch is Meccha Japan, but holy fuck I hate their shipping and prices. If something becomes low in stock they jack up the price and label it as 'rare' or ultra rare or whatever and I find that irritating. They also use fedex and dhl for shipping which means fun fees woohoo yipee!!! i had to spend over 100 dollars to get my package wrangled from their graaaaaasp!!!!
So yeah, sorry for lame New Merch recs, I don't really buy brand-new figures since P5 hasn't released anything lately. I bought the Hello!Goodsmile mona and joker from BigBadToystore and I think shipping was only 15 usd? I like BBTS but if you're not american they're kinda slow in the shipping department.
I probably have more reccs but I can't think of any so. enjoy this. Anon if you wanna talk more thoroughly about this feel free to dm me! Talking about this stuff makes me so happy it's my lifeblood ♪♪

Happy Friday!! We made it.
The Bahamas! How fantastic. That will certainly be a change from the Canadian winter (depending on your locale of course.. I'm on the east coast so we've already in frigid temps).
Chris Cornells voice is astounding! Like the fact that a human being could sing that boggles the mind. Sometimes I find myself going down the YouTube rabbit hole of him singing various cover songs and the man really could sing anything. He's such a loss for the music world.
A new album on the horizon. That's exciting news for the fans (Gresties is the best fandom name btw!). PJ had only just released a new one when the pandemic hit so we won't be expecting anything soon I'm afraid. They're known for going long stretches between studio albums though most of the members do have solo/side projects. Do the Greta boys have other projects besides the band?
Mutuals that you share similar interests is the best, isn't it? Most of my friends aren't as into music or book or movies as I am so having people to talk with them about has been great. I love when a mutual recommends something or an interest of theirs that post about shows me something new that I may not of heard of.
I do have Twitter but it's mostly for work and I go on very rarely lol. Insta I have but I'm not very active there and Pinterest is where I go to dig for band pics. It's a treasure trove. Tumblr is the only sm where I'm very active.
Bohemian Rhapsody was so good! I've not yet seen the Dirt but I'll add to my watch list. I loved Ray; Walk The Line; Respect to name a few. I've been meaning watch Rocketman but I've not gotten around to it yet. Have you ever seen the Def Leppard one called Hysteria? It's not the greatest but it's kinda fun.
I've been watching a lot of music docs. I just finished one about Ronnie James Dio that was great. I love the medium of documentary. I'll watch them about artists I don't necessarily know that well too. Do you watch docs?
Do you have a sideblog for your witchcraft?

Happy Friday to you too!!
Oh I agree! Where in the east coast are you from? Im from outside of Toronto.
Omg I agree!! He was an incredible singer! One of my favourite covers he did was Patience by Guns N’ Roses but I think my favourite by him is Nearly Forgot my Broken Heart.
Ah well I promise when you can reveal yourself we can me mutuals and friends!! 💖 we can recommend stuff anytime!
Omg I know! PJ was in Toronto a couple months ago but I didn’t go see them 😭 Have you ever seen them live? The only one musician from the big four grunge bands I saw twice was Dave Grohl in Foo Fighters and oh my god I loved both of the shows. YES I’m stoked! As far as I know they don’t have any side projects (unless Gresties if you’re reading this, let me know if they do!)
Ahhh yeah same goes with me and social media I mostly use Tumblr the most and Goodreads when I’m updating my books 😅
I haven’t seen Rocketman either nor Ray or Walk The Line but I wanna see all of them! I love Def Leppard but I haven’t seen Hysteria.
Oh that’s so cool! I’ve been listening to Dio lately so I’ll totally check that out! Yeah I watched a couple Foo Fighters ones and they were amazing! Back and Forth which is about their album Wasting Light aka my favourite Foos album, also Sonic Highways which is about their album Sonic Highways.
I post my witchcraft on this blog! Do you have any sideblogs about other interests?
