I love Croutons because he reminds me of my boy Saki :)

He's orange, he's got a bobtail, he was found icky and gross in the streets... I swear he's Croutons's little cousin

mine cousin ....................................

this isn’t a take, i just saw your post about ocs! so here’s mine, her name’s Filipa Perestrelo

She’s friends with Cleo, Frida, Harriet, and Abe! They’re frenemies with Topher bc their clone parents were married! They have a crush on Harriet:)

OH I LOVE THIS???! ALSO DID BABY CARROT MAKE ANOTHER PICREW?2?1!!

bro i'm gonna be thinking about garward for the rest of my life i can feel a genuine poem brewing in me WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

IT'S JUST!!!!! i think. i think it's to do with the fact that garth? garth matches edward so, so well. garth is so kind and light hearted and. well. garth! and i think they perfectly cancel each others' bad points??? and also garth would 100% stalk Edward back but in a different way than Edward would stalk him and they would start their relationship with the basis that they can both protect each other and they understand each other!!!! im nEVER GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS AGAIN BY THE WAY

BESTIE WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO EACH OTHER

Oh my God guys I got it

I've found it. The exact sanzu cologne and

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

hobie motherfuckin' brown!!!!!!

everyone should attempt an artisan craft at some point in their life because it would cut down the number of comments questioning why handmade goods like ceramics or textile craft or woodworking are so expensive

and this is an unrealistic expectation, but I think the attempt should include seeing through to the end at least one "finished" item, no matter how clumsy or lumpy your first attempts might be. like to me, there's a huge difference in perspective between attempting to learn how to crochet or throw a pot for a few days, acknowledging that it's harder than it looks and giving up, versus committing to finishing that scarf or clay pot you started and working on it for weeks while you painstakingly learn from your mistakes and grow attached to your project while also simultaneously hating it.

once you finish the latter, your perspective changes from "why does this crocheted blanket cost $200" to "holy shit I can't believe they're charging $200 for this crocheted blanket instead of $2000" because you may have known crocheting is hard, you may have easily agreed with the idea that "handmade goods take time and effort" even before attempting a craft, but now you know firsthand the absolute time sink it takes to make things. like yeah dude, that one item took you 2 months to make and probably wasn't even an ultra complex item if it was the first thing you made, now imagine attaching an hourly wage to that time to calculate the cost (and this is ignoring every nuance of the artistic element and master crafters being able to work faster/charge higher because of their years and years of experience)

anyway this rant has been motivated by a comment I saw on someone else's ceramic post asking why a mug was $60 and they understand it's handmade but $60 just seems overpriced, and bro do you know how long ceramics take to make. that mug probably took at minimum 3 weeks between how long it takes to throw the mug, dry partially, trim the mug, dry fully, bisque fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, sand and paint and glaze, glaze fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, take product photography of the mug, write description and list the mug online for sale, im not even including the skill needed to complete all these steps without the mug literally exploding or collapsing while also making it an appealing piece of art, aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hi, feel free to take my new uquiz to discover what kind of vampire you are!

Thank god

it's come to my attention that a lot of people don't know about bluemaxima's flashpoint and genuinely think they'll never be able to play their favorite 00s internet games ever again so i just want to remind everyone that flashpoint is a huge internet flash game preservation project that allows you to play just about any internet flash game/animation despite the death of flash. if they've got it in their database (and they probably do) you can play it. go forth and drink in the 00s nostalgia

even if you think there's no way they'll have the game u want. they probably do anyway. when i first downloaded flashpoint i thought for sure theres no way they will have the obscure flash game i played for hours as a kid that was only even available on the internet for like 2 months in 2006. but you know what. they had it. seriously, download flashpoint
