🌻

so the last time i got a tattoo i was in my 20s, and actually all four of my tattoos were done in my 20s, but i've always wanted more and i kept putting it off and off and off because of money and fear and so many other things, and now my brain is like, oh i'm too old i guess? sadface

BUT i've recently kinda looked at my life and looked at what i want to be and who i'm becoming and i've decided i am 100% getting the four tattoos i want starting asap!

the first one is gonna be the easiest to kinda slide me back into the experience when i can afford it, and it's going to be this specific ring design around my right thumb. my sister died when i was young, and she left me her jewellery, which i got most of in a little envelope - but her favorite ring, the one she wears in almost every picture, was missing, so i'm getting the pattern on the ring tattooed 💛

new ask game send me a 🌻 and ill just tell you whatever the fuck i want

Look if ya’ll are going to keep posting nostalgic and incredible gifsets of destiel and cockles (i’m looking at you murphy and colfer) the least you could do is send me some FANVID AND CLIP LINKS AS WELL

i wish i had the advice for you, it’s hard out there :( i try to comment on as many things as i can but i fear i’m always destined for the acquaintance-zone. i’m sure i’m missing half the fandom stuff by not being on discord but i have no idea how to use it lol

honestly, the thing about discord is it's only helpful if you're invited to the right server by the right friends who want you there and you're brave enough to talk enough to make friends in that exact place - it's like anywhere else, you still gotta luck into it a lot of the time. which makes it rough, it's so behind-closed-doors :(

I know you said it would be hard to make friends IRL but I actually think we are getting a lot more tolerant of “weird” interests as a society. Look for a local camera group or craft group or queer group or neurodivergent group and be your wonderful self.

i live in QLD in Australia and finding queer groups here is a bit perilous, but that's the ideal situation like. finding my community - neurodivergent, queer, crafty, fandomish - is very difficult because this place is absolutely inundated with aussie normies and i am very unaustralian in so many ways, i'm like a big square peg surrounded by a sea of round holes and i just don't want to cut myself down to size just to belong anymore

i also have no idea *how* to look for any of those things, either. i don't know where i'd even begin :(

i would love to have certain breeds too like a maine coon or ragdoll, they’re so cute! but i also believe in adopting over shopping. and while they might not have the predisposition of a ragdoll, i’m sure there’s a lap cat out there for you at a rescue

i think you're right, i've booked in to go see the cattery at my local rescue on Tuesday! i'm so excited godddd

sugar gliders are so cute! sad you don’t see them that often 😞 but oh yeah squirrels will eat pretty much anything. they’ll destroy bird feeders and bully the birds away to gulp it down. and what food should’ve lasted days is gone in hours. idk if you’ve seen it before but check out mark rober on YT, he created a few obstacle courses for his backyard squirrels.

oooh, i will! AHH cuteness!

i see mostly kookaburras the most common ones around here, and they're SO gorgeous. i miss the other wildlife though :(

pls check out all the lifehacks possible and stay safe!!! praying buddy alfred will pass by without causing much damage or danger!

crossing everything! i've done pretty much everything i can do for my place and prepped everything for multiple days without power. here's hoping we don't have to use it all!

if you want any advice from someone who’s lived through some not insignificant hurricanes, lmk. i love you and be safe

always! i've removed everything from the yard and porch, got enough stable food and water for the three of us + the animals for 3-5 days without power, and have an evacuation bag packed with the essentials. we're testing the generator today, hopefully it will work, but we have backup oil and petrol for it stored too. i have power banks, torches, lanterns, tools, duct tape and a first aid kit all set out

all the windows are shut, and my heavy blockout curtains are all clipped closed to catch any glass if a window breaks. i have two buckets of spare water in the bathroom to flush the toilet if the water cuts off, and thankfully we don't need sandbags for the flood as we're on a hill and my house is elevated off the ground on wide concrete pillars. the only thing i haven't been able to do is board up the windows, which is worrying me a bit. anything else i should do?
