Maybe it’s just you and me and this grief that I will carry around in the place behind my lungs forever. Maybe that’s all there is.

I always say that the thing which sets Sargent apart as a portrait artist is that he draws/paints literally every subject - no matter their gender, social position, life vs representational drawing etc - like he is right that minute realising he's desperately in love with them. And it rules every single time.

don't you just love the musical sound of pussy in the morning(?)

#the smell of fresh hay and clean fur. sometimes when I’m sad I’ll pick up one of my guinea pigs and just bury my nose in their fur #they genuinely smell really nice. it’s like a warm soft grassy smell #the taste of a really good spicy sauce.#the sound of my cat meowing. or the hum of the crowd at a concert just before the band comes on #the moon over Salisbury plain on a clear night. it never fails to make me stop and stare. bonus points if it’s in summer so there are bats.#the sensation of slipping into a cool swimming pool on a horribly hot day.

do white horses have a shorter lifespan than other colored horses? i've heard that said quite a lot and my grandpa raised quite a lot of horses on his ranch but the only two white ones he had both died at ages 12 and 15 both due to intestinal issues while most of his other differently-colored horses lived well into their late 20s-early 30s. is it a genetic issue related to the white coat gene, sort of like how white cats are prone to deafness?

no, regular degular white horses don't have measurably different lifespans from other colors of the same lines, but there IS a really funky genetic issue related to the white coat that is occasionally produced called "lethal white"!

like deaf cats, these foals are born with pure white coats and blue eyes. however, much worse than the cats, this horse mutation carries a nonfunctional colon. essentially, these foals are born without a digestive system and will invariably die within a few days.

because of this, once lethal white is suspected and proven, the foal is humanely euthanized to prevent it from suffering.

but yeah regular white horses are fine, though they are at higher risk for skin cancer so if you have one be sure to get that checked regularly.

#lethal white is also a gene that occurs in guinea pigs!! Dalmatian and marked/ticked breeds often carry the gene #in cavies it causes heart & stomach & bone density issues though #similar to Satin Syndrome #also causes blindness and deafness though

wait now i’m curious what’s everyone’s go-to pair of shoes

#the plain brown hiking boots I originally bought for LARP but they’re so comfy I wear them everywhere #or the safety shoes I have to wear for work. they look like formal oxfords but have steel toecaps #but they’re part of my work uniform so idk if they count? I wouldn’t wear them purely by choice #before that it was this pair of absolutely trashed pink and black docs #not flondon

Being shot into space would genuinely fix me at this point

Voting ended onMay 14

All the people reblogging the plant poll from me like "yes I'm great at plants I've had this one for three years" and meanwhile I'm over here and the majority of my plants are over 10 and a like at least 4 are over 15 so here have a poll. I have a Christmas cactus, currently blooming, that's a cut of a friend's that I got 21 years ago, hers was from a cut of her parents, idek when the parents was from, that plant is probably 40 at least but even just my cutting is old enough to vote.

I have a fun story about my oldest one. I'm not very good with plants, but I really like succulents. And when I was finishing high school, which was an art school, there was this dying agave in the inner garden of the school, and you could tell cause it was flowering, which they do only at the end of their lives, it's called a death bloom. And at the time I didn't have any idea for the painting portion of my graduation project, so I decided I will paint the agave, which at that point was a couple decades old. The idea of its fleeting beauty has compelled me, I think.

The painting was fine, I was never a very good painter, but was enough for me to pass. During my last weeks at school, I was approached by my polish teacher, and he asked me if he could purchase the painting, and I kinda just gave it to him because I wasn't really attached to it.

Turns out he was the person that brought that agave to school all those years ago, so it was a nice kind of closure for him to have a painting of it. And I thought it was kinda poetic, but nothing much of it, until he approached me again, at my graduation, to bring me a gift in exchange for that painting. It was some nice watercolors, which I still have some to this day, and then. A little agave in a pot.

The same one I still have on my windowsill after 10 years since my graduation.

It even almost died on me once, and if not for my mom who put its last living leaf into water, that would have been it.

I don't have any punchline for this one, but I think this was one of the moments that taught me the importance of rituals.

Yeah anyway, I have a cool baby agave by the window.

Who has a Fallen London OC that was a Jack-of-Smiles

Even if you haven't actually played through the FATE storyline, deciding it was canon for your OC regardless of gameplay is enough. Asking for Reasons.

I know about @curiouslavellan's Simon and @rainrein's Annwyn, @ followers: anyone else ?

(upd. oh @torabdos do I remember right that Anfroy was Jack also?)

#my Ezra was. he doesn’t remember all of it but he’s aware of some of it.#you take a guy who’s already half-devil with all the instincts that comes with that & make a serial killer puppet his body around.#so of course that’s going to leave some lasting effects. he ended up with a reactive prey drive that TERRIFIES him.#there’s a version of his reflection that still is Jack. that didn’t destroy Jack.#and after Hell is Missing and the law breakdown that ensues. it’s dogged his steps ever since #he gets these horrible flashes of remembrance. it’s one of the things that drove him so firmly towards being a monster hunter #and (light fingers spoiler) drives him subsequently into poor Edward’s arms. lol.#saints speaks #Ezra vander-lucan #a lot of these effects have come from my own Hell headcanons but. they’re bees. & it’s textually stated that hunting’s THE devilish pastime #so my headcanon is that the popularity of hunts is an expression of a defensive or hunting instinct.#and although it’s something that Ez has spent his whole life denying and trying to fight down #his brief stint as Jack dialled those instincts straight up #to 11. he can’t ignore them anymore so he has to channel them #elsewhere

something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.

God, one of my favourite armour makers just put some amazing pieces on Etsy and I can’t stop thinking about them…. I’ve been holding off buying anything for Edda since he was my starting character and it feels like I’m rapidly outgrowing him.

But maybe when Edda gets retired and I introduce Mal (my current backup guy) to the True Plane…. They have some incredible embossed pieces that would fit my noble-born, adventuring, mad necromancer-thaumaturge. I might save up to get them for next season.
