Long-time lurker resigned to participating in tumblr

Demisexual/Ace, 40s, she/her pronouns, Australian.
This tumblr is a collection of all the media; art; music; animals; nature; places; people & things I adore. But most importantly it’s my place to escape all the crap of the real world.
I adore watching broken/damaged/lonely people find love; home & a place to heal; in whatever form that takes; whether that be through lovers, friends, family; and that is reflected in the media; fiction & arts I enjoy.
I’m mostly into Asian Dramas currently as they are like fan fiction come to life - seriously addictive. But I’ve been lurking in multiple fandoms over many years & I hold them all dear to my heart.
FYI: Every now & then I will be sucked into the undertow of a passing beloved ship/fandom and/or frequently get lost down rabbitholes of beautiful art tags or shows I’ve just enjoyed. As such, there will be mass reblogs/picspam till my mouse hand gets sore or I have to go to bed….that’s my jam.

"Different from Clinops", and Albert Edmund Brookes (1879–1968), a prominent New Zealand entomologist and beetle specialist who amassed a massive collection of New Zealand Coleoptera. The species was described and the genus erected by Scottish-born soldier, farmer, teacher and entomologist Thomas Broun (1838 – 1919) and published after his death, in 1921.
However, Broun's taxonomic work leaves a lot to be desired - he described the ground beetle Megadromus meritus under fifteen different names, for example, and this Broun Effect is probably the reason why the list of NZ beetles is so much longer than that of say, Great Britain. Not including illustrations of most of his purported species, and listing others only by number, didn't help.
A Wedge-shaped Beetle (Rhipiphoridae) in a genus endemic to Aotearoa. The larvae of Wedge-shaped Beetles are parasitoids of other insects, targeting bees and wasps, cockroaches, or beetles, depending on which subfamily they're in. This one is known to target Oemona hirta, the lemon tree borer (AKA whistling beetle or singing beetle) a longicorn that feeds inside a wide range of native and introduced trees, shrubs and herbs.
That's cool to learn about wedge-shaped beetles! I've been seeing a ton of them visiting my flowers in my meadow and I wasn't able to learn much about them, I had no idea they were parasitoids
Its little antennae blowing in the blustery breezes...
this is me coming full circle bc i first started posting on tumblr when i got into the supergirl CW show! anybody remembers?
kara has to be my most comfortest character... i love her so much, each and every iterations of her. i watched the movie!! i liked it a lot... i had read the comic a while ago so i have some opinions ofc but, with the amount of negativity and misogyny surrounding the movie, i prefer to keep those for my friends. either way, milly alcock did a wonderful job!!! truly an inspiring and moving portrayal of kara:)
OFC!! one of my favourite things to explore abt supergirl is her relationship w clark... the supercousins r so dear to me.
most of these drawings are my own version of supergirl though mixed with some of woman of tomorrow, the movie and the show... and well :)) lena... gorgeous gorgeous girl.
the second drawing is me thinking abt how instead of just using glasses as a disguise, maybe kara lets her eyes glow whenever shes in supergirl regalia... taking a page out of woman of tomorrow where ruthye described how kara is ALWAYS holding back instead of doing effort to gain speed or strength or anything, shes just always slowing down and controlling herself...
control, grief and anger has always appealed to me when it comes to kara. i think she's the perfect character to explore those with... yeaeyeayea
The legendary witch of Slavic folklore, the one said to reside in a hut atop giant chicken legs in the middle of the forest, gets her rebrand.
Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive first look at Yaga reveals the main stars of the forthcoming TV series that revamps the tale of Baba Yaga as a contemporary mystery-thriller and whodunnit.
Showrunner, executive producer, and playwright Kat Sandler adapted her own theater piece for the small screen.
“Yaga began as a play with a cast of three in a 200-seat theater, reimagining the myth of Baba Yaga through a modern lens with a genre mashup of mystery and myth,” Sandler writes to EW over email. “It has since evolved into television as a collision of folklore, fairy tale, noir thriller, police procedural, horror, and feminist fantasy, while continuing to ask the question: What makes a witch?”
The drama gained immediate buzz with the casting reveal back in February, fueled by the involvement of a certain someone from a certain hit hockey romance. However, with a Comic-Con panel scheduled at the end of the week in San Diego, the team is ready to unveil a little more of what the ensemble has been working on.
Yaga stars Schitt’s Creek alum Noah Reid as Rapp, a private investigator who arrives in a small coastal town following the disappearance of a young heir to a powerful fishery.
Heated Rivalry breakout star Hudson Williams, plays the missing man, Henry Park. Clark Backo, an actress from Letterkenny (the previous TV comedy from Heated Rivalry showrunner Jacob Tierney), plays Carson, an apprehensive local detective at odds with Rapp
Carrie-Anne Moss of The Matrix fame rounds out the principal stars as Katherine, a charismatic university professor. The story unfolds across “a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives, and ancient magic,” according to a plot description
Moss previously teased that she gets to “make out” with Williams on the show, calling the actor “a serious gentleman.” One of the images offers a peek at that character dynamic between Katherine and Henry.
Also spotted is actress Sheila McCarthy (The Miniature Wife) as Olena Yaha, described as “a cheeky and wise local woman, originally from Ukraine, who has a soft spot for younger men, vodka, and hallucinogenics.”
The first half-hour original drama from Canadian streaming platform Crave will be distributed in the U.S. via AMC+. A premiere is scheduled for the fall.
Sandler goes on to praise the “Canadian Avengers-level cast” of the lead quartet.
“The chef’s kiss is getting to share this wild story with audiences around the world (soon!)” she writes. “Expanding it for television has only made it wilder, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the woods.”
Moss, Reid, Williams, and Backo were unveiled earlier this year at the apex of the Heated Rivalry craze. And with Williams’ involvement, physical copies of the source material rapidly sold out online. Now back in stock on Amazon, Sandler’s play remains a bestseller.
More will be revealed of Yaga this Saturday afternoon at San Diego Comic-Con, where Sandler will join cast members Reid, Backo, and Moss for a panel that includes a sneak preview.
