Got stung by a wasp today. My lifelong (20 yr) sting-free streak is ruined >:'(

[ravilishious]

Got some more bird buddies today :D

The world ain't so bad after all (one my favorite fics updated after 2 years of silence).

Let's go, the due date for my final project got extended. Been stressing over it since Canvas is still down.

[ravilishious]

My muse never lets me down. Behold, a little progress on an old piece and some new doodles.

Feel like fem Wu would be forced to dress a little more traditionally. She’d definitely have a fan (made it resemble a sunflower bc why not), and maybe even a parasol instead of a cane.

No good deed goes unpunished. Planted 3 fruit trees with my parents today in the backyard, but I also had 3 spiders crawl up my legs (one even reached my arm lol)

Bitch, wdym Texas bullnettle is edible. I dug up 3 of these mother fuckers today, and I just now found out people eat the roots???? Touching these plants feels like a million fire ants bit you at the same time, why would you ever wanna eat them???

Rant under cut

I hate these plants with a burning passion, so of course I chopped up the roots with my shovel the second I finally managed to dig em out completely (we don't use weed killer since it could harm our geese and ducks). According to the Internet, the roots have a nutty flavor.

Fun (?) fact,Texas bullnettle has a taproot system, so the holes I had to dig were pretty deep (around 3-4 feet).

Another fun fact, my grandmother calls these plants "mala feas" (mean uglies), so that's what the whole family calls them. My brother and I never knew what the plant's real name was until I was in 5th grade. I went on a school field trip that year, and before we went on a hike, the camp counselor warned us about the "Texas bullnettle" that could be found in the area. Low and behold, we did end up seeing some and I finally knew my enemy's true name (it was the first thing I told my brother about when I got back home).

Ngl, it actually is a pretty cool looking plant. It's just caused too much pain for me to not hate it.

It's a "kill on sight" kind of hate, so ain't no way you could convince me to eat it.

My little sister asked for help with her math homework today.

Every time she made a mistake she hit me with this, "You didn't see that, it was AI." Which is new, I'm not complaining, just thought it was neat.

[ravilishious]

I finally have time to read, but my sister has once again brought an illness back home from school as a gift to me :)))

[ravilishious]

My little sister just called me a "stupid sandwich" and I , without hesitation, immediately reminded her that it's "idiot sandwich."

She then proceeded to fake slap me again, but at least she called me an idiot sandwich that time.

I'm taking a first aid course this summer at my community college :D

The only bad thing is I've gotta go grab a parking permit since it's at the downtown campus >:(

Wukoweek day 2: jealousy/rivals

I feel like these two wouldn’t really get jealous once they’re in a relationship, so I went with something silly. The idea of Mako having beef with a badgermole plushie came to me a couple of weeks ago around midnight, and I’m so glad it did.

Trying to lock in for wukoweek, but my left hand is starting to cramp up so I'm giving it a break by drawing Wu with my right hand on a small chalkboard I bought today .

[ravilishious]

Hold up, my cat just sat on the chalkboard.

Look at how they massacred my boy

Winter is officially over. My cat refuses to cuddle with me and has reclaimed the window stool as his napping spot :(

[ravilishious]

I made my therapist laugh a lot today, so I think I'm doing something right.

ASK GAME

if you had to dye your hair, what colour would you pick?

9. how would you survive an apocalypse or at least attempt to?

18. a compliment you’ve received?

I think I'd go with red. Most of my favorite characters have red as their main color, so I think it would be neat to match :) I'd only dye my ends tho, so I can chop them off whenever the color fades.

9. My silly goose self is NOT built for the apocalypse. I don't think I'd last that long, but if I do it'll only be because of my family. We've got geese and ducks, so at least I'd have access to some food. Got access to water, the pump is old as hell, but it still works. Other than that, idk, I've never really thought about surviving an apocalypse. I don't think I'm capable of physically harming anyone on purpose 😭, so if I found a group to hang out with I'd just stick to helping out with the food or gathering supplies.

18. After I did my volcano presentation today, a classmate said I did great :D I only got 2 hours of sleep, and I don't drink coffee or anything like that (truly raw dogging life as the kids say), so it was quite the accomplishment to pass as a functioning member of society.

I've had friends compliment my presentation skills in the past, but it's my first time having a stranger do the same. Getting complimented for something besides my art or grades is rare, so when it does happen, I greatly appreciate it :)
