The World Meteorological Association says Freddy is probably the longest-lasting storm ever recorded. It has also set the report for the number of occasions it has weakened and then re-intensified. (Storms pick up vitality from heat and a warmer world means extra power to power storms.) And it now has the record for the most vitality ever recorded in a cyclone, storing up as much as each storm put collectively in a mean hurricane season within the United States.

One frequent grievance we receive from house owners is that certain plants of their gardens are too messy, both dropping too many leaves, or flowers or fruit on their freshly cleaned paving or out of doors seating area, or of their pool.

Rubble is one thing that isn't apparent to a house owner when they buy their house, and may solely be discovered later when the backyard is dug up in preparation for gardening. In small townhouse complexes rubble underneath the bottom has turn out to be a serious downside, and is the outcome of building contractors taking shortcuts by dumping it in the garden instead of removing it from the property.
Other ‘shade-lawn’ species may have restricted lifespans, and owners who attempt them typically end up having to repeat the seeding or planting process 12 months after 12 months. If, after making an attempt LM, you still find your garden struggling in a particular space – and you aren't keen to cut fake leaves away timber and shrubs – then it could be time to understand you are attempting to ‘fit a sq. peg in a spherical hole’. In these cases, consider eradicating your garden and increasing your beds, using shade loving groundcovers or bark chips as an alternative of lawn.

Overseeding is a common practice in American home lawn care. It involves adding grass seed to an existing lawn to improve its thickness, density, and overall health. Overseeding can be done any time of the year but is typically performed in the fall when the soil is still warm and moist, allowing the grass seed to germinate and establish itself before winter. Whether you're looking to revive a thinning lawn or simply enhance its appearance, overseeding is a simple and effective solution for American homeowners looking to achieve a lush and vibrant lawn.

Starry Eyed | kmg x reader
Tumblr media
Ten months together and every moment still feels brand new. 
Rating: T | WC: ~2.6k | Genre: romance, fluff | Pairing: kmg x reader
Warnings: kissing, food
Reader Notes: wears a dress, gets lifted by mingyu, referred to as ‘miss’ (forgot to add before, my bad!)
Tumblr media
You’re not always ready when Mingyu rolls up to your house and knocks on your door, but on nights like tonight, you are. 
You’ve got your prettiest dress on, the one that he said makes your eyes sparkle, and you have a small container holding the cake you baked him just this afternoon. There’s a blanket, some battery powered fairy lights, and a bluetooth speaker in your bag, and as soon as you hear his timid raps on the wood, you’re on your feet and across the room. You don’t bother to slow yourself down as you open the door, long past pretending you do anything but sit on the couch waiting for him on nights like these. 
Especially since it’s his birthday. Well, almost. 
The smile that lights up his face when you appear has you fighting a swoon, though you know he would catch you before you hit the ground, his clumsiness absent when it comes to protecting you. 
“Hey baby,” he says softly, already leaning in for a kiss. You happily grant it, pressing your lips to his and feeling that familiar spark in your stomach, the one you’ve only ever felt with him. 
“Hi Mingyu,” you whisper, feeling oddly shy as he looks you up and down, taking in the bag on your shoulder and the box you carry. Normally, you’re empty handed, content to spend the hours just listening to music and talking about everything and nothing, like you always do. 
But you want him to feel special tonight, to feel the love that you foster for him, to see the roots of the flowers that grow in your heart, watered and fed by him and him alone. 
“Ready?” He asks, holding a hand out and waiting for you to take it, as if you could ever deny him. 
“Ready,” you grin, giggling as he pulls you through your garden gate and around to the passenger seat of his truck. He opens the door for you and holds your waist as you climb up, making sure you’re securely inside before closing your door and running around to the driver’s side. 
“Where are we going tonight?” You wonder, resting your head on the back of the seat and gazing at his profile, his sharp jawline and perfect nose and adorable ears. 
“I thought I’d take you to the lake, the stars are crazy this time of year,” he glances over at you, laying his hand palm up on your thigh. The corners of his lips quirk up when you lace your fingers through his and he brings your joined hands to his mouth for a kiss, like it’s just instinct by now. 
After ten months together, maybe it is. 
This will be the first of Mingyu’s birthdays that you’ll get to be with him for, and you’re honored and slightly nervous that he wants to spend the time leading up to it with you. It’s barely 9 pm, there’s still three hours until it’s actually his birthday, but he was adamant that he wanted you with him for the transition and you’ve never been one to tell him no. 
So here you are, driving down backroads and nodding along to the soft music playing on his radio, soaking in his lovely singing voice and stifling a smile at his lisp. He squeezes your hand when your song comes on, the one you decided together best matched your relationship, and you feel his ivy in your heart grow just a bit denser, just a bit greener. 
It’s not long before you pull up to the lookout, Mingyu parking on the gravel with not a single other car in sight. If you were with anyone else, you’d be nervous, scared of every shadow and the dark lake stretched out in front of you, but with Mingyu, you know you’re safe. 
He turns the truck off and unweaves his fingers from yours, jogging around to your side to open your door and help you down. You hold tight to your bag and the box of cake as he wraps his hands around your sides and helps you step down. You don’t mean to but you end up in his space when your shoes touch gravel, and there’s a split second of tension, one where you’re sure he’ll kiss your lights out. He just pulls away and takes your hand again, though, and you take in a deep breath and hold it long enough to blank out the dizziness he evokes. 
Mingyu is quick to unlatch the tailgate when you get to the back of his truck, and even quicker to hoist you up into the cargo bed, his hands respectful and his handling of you utilitarian. You know it’s just because he’ll get distracted if he lingers, but you wouldn’t mind if he wanted to dawdle a teeny bit more, not that you’ll ever tell him that. 
He hops up into the bed with you, walking over to the large metal storage box and pulling something out with a flourish. 
“Look, baby,” he grins, his eyes somehow brighter than his smile. 
You can’t quite tell what it is he’s holding, but then he unravels it and you realize with a gasp and a skip of your heart that he’s brought a bedroll. He must have packed it just for you, after you told him your back ached the last time you laid in the bed of his truck for hours. 
“You’re so sweet, I could cry,” you beam up at him from where you sit, rising to your feet so he can arrange the padding. You take the time to set up your own things, winding the fairy lights along the inner edges of the truck and powering on your bluetooth speaker, starting your mixed playlist at a volume low enough for you to talk over. The blanket was meant to go under you but now it can go over, and you’re even more grateful for his thoughtfulness when you feel the chilly spring breeze ruffle your dress. 
Perhaps it wasn’t the most practical choice of clothing, but you wanted to dress up for him a little bit, and you can’t fault yourself for that. 
“You look so pretty, I should have told you earlier,” Mingyu says as he settles on his back on the padding, reaching out for you with open arms. You kneel carefully and curl up next to him, grabbing a corner of the blanket and drawing it over both of your bodies as you lean back and rest your head on his outstretched arm. 
“Thank you,” you smile and tilt toward him for a kiss, your lips pressing against his softly before you pull away and snuggle into his chest. You feel a pressure on the top of your head and know he must have kissed you there too, eliciting a flurry of butterflies in your stomach. 
Ten months together and every moment still feels brand new. 
You turn your eyes to the sky and take in the blanket of stars above you, their light striking on such a cloudless evening. 
You know the visible constellations in this area thanks to countless nights spent like this, but you let him point them out to you anyway, just because he gets so excited to tell you about their stories. 
He can summon them from memory by now, having lived in this small town his whole life. You moved here only two years ago, and met Mingyu before you even moved in. 
After hours of driving, your sweet little car broke down a mile from the city line, with all of your earthly possessions packed in the back. You were close to tears, sitting on the side of the road trying to get in touch with your insurance when he pulled up behind you and hopped out. 
You were nervous at first, he’s such a large man and he has such a large truck, but then he smiled at you and asked in the most gentle voice you’d ever heard, “Need some help, miss?” 
You, obviously, fell in love immediately, but you were sure a guy like him would be taken already so you kept your feelings to yourself and tried not to let your eyes linger on his muscles as he loaded your things into the bed of his truck. 
You had to look up your own address when he asked, and offered to give him directions but he just turned to you and said softly, “No need, miss, I know how to get there.” 
And he did. Fifteen minutes later, he was parking in front of your new home and offering to bring your belongings in if you’d run ahead and get the door. All of your city-bred instincts told you not to let him into your house, but you decided then and there to put your faith in him, and to this day, he’s never made you regret it. 
Mingyu asks you a question, pulling you out of your reverie, and you feel your cheeks heat as you realize you drifted off in thought while he was speaking. 
“Sorry, I missed that. What did you say?” You ask, looking up at him with your most apologetic eyes. 
He just grins and shakes his head, knowing you get lost in your head sometimes. 
“I asked if you believe in soulmates,” he repeats in a nonchalant voice, the circles he swirls on your back the only sign that he’s nervous about your answer. 
You hum, contemplating carefully. You never believed in fate or destiny growing up, and the concept of soulmates always seemed to be so far-fetched, but you have to admit that Mingyu has made you think differently. 
He hardly ever leaves town, what were the odds of him being sent over to the city for a one day carpentry workshop? What were the odds of him coming back right after your car broke down? What were the odds of you even moving here in the first place? 
There were hundreds of small towns to pick from, why did you choose this one?
And how in the hell was he single when you finally worked up the guts to ask him on a date?
“Baby? You don’t have to answer, I know you don’t really believe in that stuff,” he forces a laugh, shifting under you. 
“I didn’t until I met you,” you confess, looking up to face him because you can feel his eyes on you. 
He searches your face, hope and nerves warring on his own until his gaze clears and his lips stretch in a shining, ardent grin. 
“I love you,” he whispers slowly, the words carrying more weight than they usually do. You know he always means it, but this time feels different, more like a promise. 
“I love you,” you send him a wobbly smile, your feelings bubbling up in your chest until you fear they’ll spill out of your eyes as tears. 
His hand comes up to cup your cheek, drawing you toward him just as you start to lean in. You’re happy to meet him in the middle and even happier to feel his lips on yours, to feel him breathe his love into you. 
You kiss for what feels like hours, always keeping the gentle, languid pace. There’s no urgency, no blaze of desire, just a warm, comforting feeling overtaking you, something like sinking into a hot bath after a long, freezing day. 
When you finally pull away, it’s because an alarm goes off, one that you completely forgot you set in the first place. You reach into your bag for your phone and you’re shocked to discover it actually has been hours since you started kissing him, your sense of time completely skewed when it comes to Mingyu. 
In just five minutes, it will be his birthday, and if you didn’t have the forethought to set an alarm for 11:55, you would have kissed him right through midnight. 
This gives you just enough time to get everything ready, and though he pouts when you peel yourself off of him, you know he’s excited for what you have in store. 
“Close your eyes,” you instruct him softly, waiting for his eyelids to flutter shut before springing into action. 
He didn’t ask you to do anything but spend time with him, and while you’re happy to do that, you still couldn’t stop yourself from preparing just a little something. 
You dig through your bag again to find the utensils, birthday candles, and lighter buried at the bottom before grabbing the container you stashed by the tool box. Wishing, hoping, praying the cake hasn’t been ruined, you take off the lid and breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of unmarred frosting. 
Mingyu is no stranger to your baking, but this is the first cake you’ve specifically made just for him, and you want it to be perfect. 
With the clock ticking, you carefully push the 2 and 7 candles in, setting the container down next to him and lighting the wicks just as your second alarm goes off. There’s only one minute till midnight now, and you leave your phone clock on so you can watch the time go from 11:59 to 12:00. 
“Okay, open,” you tell him, kneeling a foot from where he lays, your lips bitten between your teeth and your hands clasped together in excitement.
When he blinks his eyes open and you see his face in the candlelight, the sheer love and devotion that floods your chest takes your breath away. You couldn’t exactly hide the cake container so you know he was aware you were planning something, but his eyes still grow wide in joyful shock, the beam that spreads his kiss-swollen lips enough to send your heart galloping away. 
“Baby, you did all this just for me?” He asks, his voice just a bit watery and his eyes only slightly glassy. 
“Of course I did, Gyu, I love you. Now, make a wish and blow out the candles, it’s almost midnight!” You urge him, watching as his eyes squeeze shut and his lips move, like the wish won’t come true if he doesn’t actually spell it out. 
You don’t try to decode his words, even though you’re sure he won’t tell you what his wish was. You’ll let him keep it, you think, and make your own wish that his will come true. 
His eyes open before he purses his lips and pushes out a breath, extinguishing the candles and grinning up at you with a secret in his smile. You can only surmise the wish involves you, and curiosity sinks its claws deep into you, down to the bone. 
“You’re not going to ask what I wished for?” Mingyu gleefully teases you, reading you like you’re a book he’ll never put down. 
“Nope,” you shake your head magnanimously, faking serenity even though you know he can see right through it. 
His face softens into something fond, and before he can even reach for you, you’re leaning down and pressing your lips to his. It’s just a chaste, loving peck this time, mainly because you can tell Mingyu is itching to taste the cake. “Happy birthday,” you murmur into his lips before pulling away and pushing the cake closer to him. 
“Have at it,” you giggle as you hand him a fork, watching as he digs in with gusto, his eyes closing and his face scrunching in delight at the flavors you chose. 
He lets out a pleased hum, then garbles through a mouth full of cake, “Thank you, baby. Best birthday ever.”
You won’t even beg him to swallow before speaking like you usually do - it's his day, after all.

AN: happy birthday to the darling boy! sorry i'm a day late 💖

I'm really curious about logue... Can you tell more about him and his deal? Cause he looks sick as fuck!
Also when designing your drows, how did you decide on the individual shades of purple for them?(Olga's skin tone is my favorite and I've been curious about the specific shade ever since)
Unfortunately Logue is both a WIP and potentially a major plot point I'm not sure I want to elaborate on for now, but keep an eye out maybe? I'm notorious for not being able to keep my mouth shut about anything lore/character related.
Drow skin tone! Good question. First off, Olga was the catalyst for the whole under garden endeavour and she was, indeed, a drow in a DnD campaign. I decided on her skintone based on vibes and the fact that another character in the party had a blue/greyish skintone, so I went for a more purple hue for her.
As we worked on her backstory and eventually the worldbuilding for the comic, "drow" became less drow and more just [gestures vaguely] different clans of underground dark elves with distinct physical attributes and functions, and I created a sort of character sheet for each to pin down what these physical features might be. Skintones in particular started ranging from light cyan ish to dark grey/purple depending on the clan and role of each character.
Just to give you a taste:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whenever I need a character that originates in the same place or is descendant from someone there I just consult my cheat sheet and take it from there.
For instance, Staeve's dad (half-"drow") is a blend of the last row of skintones and a greener, warmer hue from the other side
Tumblr media
Idk man I operate on bullshit biology but there *is* some form of logic to it. Or so I'd like to believe, anyway

Dad Oscar and his boys up to mischief
Cw: the tiniest allusion to smut
"Do you think mummy will find us?", Jack asked as Oscar held him close to his body as they hid behind the low bush-like plant in the garden.
"We did tell her we would only hide in the house", Lucas nudged, "did we just lie to mummy?", he gasped.
"In the way I see it, this is still part of our house in a way, it's where we live, too", Oscar offered, knowing you wouldn't find it so funny but wouldn't take it to heart either.
When the boys suggested you played hide and seek, the four of you agreed on a few spots no one could hide in, ensuring the boys would be safe and not climbing or stumbling in anything. The garden was, admittedly, Oscar's idea, making him follow your sons and to make sure they would still stay safe.
"Oh, I see her! She's looking for us behind the curtains in the living room!", Jack pointed, seeing your shoulders slack down from not having yet found anyone in a place you expected one of your boys to be in.
"She's not going to find us, we're found to win!", Lucas squealed, "Oh, I have to keep quiet, she might hear me".
In all honesty, you were starting to get a little bit worried. You had looked everywhere in the house and no one was in sight, so where were they? Looking outside, you tsked before stepping out, knowing that whenever the three of them joined forces, their mischief was bigger than ever.
"I think she's outside already", Oscar whispered loudly enough for Lucas to hear as well, "I can hear her feet on the gravel on the driveway".
A little giggle alerted you to the greener area of the garden where the creeping plants were, making you head there, "Oscar, Lucas and Jack Piastri", you called once you swy your husband's hair peek through the greenery.
"Uh-oh, I think we got caught", Jack said loud enough, making Oscar and Lucas get up.
The three of them looked at you with the most angelic smile, and any other time, you would have melted at how alike the three of them were, "I thought we said we'd only hide in the house", you crosses your arms across your chest as you tapped your foot on the grass.
"This is still our house, like, it's inside the wall and the fence", Lucas offered.
"Since you consider it the house then, I supposed you won't mind sleeping here - I heard it's going to be a nice chilly night", you smirked.
The three boys straightened up, looking at eachother before the boys ran up to hug your legs, "but we love you so much", Jack said, latching onto your legs strongly, "and you always ready the bedtime stories with our blankets and you say those are never allowed outside, only to dry on the clothes' line", Lucas pouted, hoping he would turn around.
"I'm only joking, boys, no one is sleeping outside - daddy could, considering he was the one giving you the idea I'm sure", you winked at your husband as he too stepped closer to you, hugging your back and kissing your cheek, "then who was going to warm you up at night? You touch you all the ways you like?", he whispered on your ear, softly biting your ear lobe.
"I'd sort myself out, we have really good and warm blankets", you squirmed away when his little kisses started tickling your skin.
(Thank you for sending this in ✨️)

hi! i love your blog :D do you have any advice to implement low waste and solarpunk aspects into everyday life with a tight budget? keep doing what you do!
Hi!
Thanks for asking - I’ve had this question before and it’s definitely a real problem. Organic, plastic free food is expensive. So is handmade durable clothing, and train fares these days. It can feel like only the rich can be solarpunks, which is pretty counterintuitive given its anticapitalist ideology. But! I’m here to tell you there’s lots you can do to bring solarpunk into your life in a cost-effective way.
To start with, lots of solarpunk spaces are free or cheap. Get a library card and you can borrow as many books and DVDs and other resources as you like. Look up to see if there’s a library of things in your neighbourhood, and join a buy nothing or stuff for free group online. Download TooGoodToGo, which lets you access food from local cafes and restaurants which would otherwise go to waste. See if there’s a repair cafe that operates near you - I managed to get a pair of trousers mended at one of these for free, and I had been thinking I would need to pay a tailor (which is fine if you can afford it! Skilled labour deserves fair wages!). In some places plant-based food is cheaper, so when it is, choose it. But in others it will cost more than animal products so you have to decide on a case by case basis whether saving money or a particular diet is more important to you.
There’s lots else you can do for minimal spending or that actually saves you money. Walking to work or school avoids the expenditure in the petrol for a drive or a bus fare. If you’re within walking distance and able to do so, I’d recommend it. Joining your local chapter of Extinction Rebellion, Friends of The Earth, Greenpeace, The A22 network or any other active climate group in your area is almost always free and just involves a small weekly time commitment. This will introduce you to activists and inform you about protests and public meetings you can attend.
If you have the time in your week and the physical ability, which I acknowledge many people don’t, you can also join some sort of volunteer group looking after a nature reserve or tending a community garden (which might also give you access to free or discounted food). Learning to forage is also a good skill as that really is free food!
Depending on where you are, a green electricity tariff *can* also be less expensive. If this is the case and you have control over your provider, it’s worth switching to it. Buying books and clothes secondhand will also be better for the environment and your bank balance. Teaching yourself about the climate and the natural world with podcasts, YouTube, online free articles and other resources is also free and the knowledge will help you keep solarpunk at the front of your mind. Read good news stories online whenever you can, to remind you that good things are happening already.
If you’re employed, you can also try to influence green policy at your workplace or in your trade union. If you’re at school or university, joining (or setting up!) the environmental society and/or lobbying for change at the SU are both good ideas and shouldn’t necessarily cost you anything. If you can - and I know this is inaccessible for a big swathe of the population - put a very small amount of money aside whenever possible, because the more you save the more you can afford to buy better products, donate to causes, help out the needy in your community, travel in a greener way, and other more expensive choices. It’s all about that dual power.
Hope this helps get you started!
