Have you heard of Curvy Girls dolls? I'd totally reccomend checking them out! They're so cute. There isn't a Lolita one, but they'd be so fun to dress up in cute Lolita fashions and are great plus sized representation!

I hadn’t, but I just looked them up and they’re really cute! Looks like they’re having some troubles at the moment, though, on their FB it says they cancelled their Kickstarter =(. I hope they can still find some way to make these dolls a reality, I’d like to get one myself.

Hello! I have a succulent question for you. I have a small fish tank (30 x 30 x 55 cm) that I'd like to repurpose now that my betta has passed away. I'm wondering if it would be ok to plant a few succulents in it with a solid layer of gravel and stones beneath the soil to provide drainage, and if so how many succulents would be an appropriate amount for that amount of space?

I wouldn’t recommend putting succulents into a fish tank or any kind of terrarium setting. Gravel/stones beneath soil do not provide any actual drainage. Only holes in your containers creates drainage. Such an environment would just be too moist for succulents and would be a major risk of rot. Better to put them in something that has drainage holes (a terracotta pot is best) with a good gritty soil mix.

writtenhuman answered your question “Is it cultural appropriation if an alien wears Earth clothing?”

Pretty sure it would depend on the situation. Like, if they're living on Earth of course not, because that's whats available to them. Or if a human gifted them with clothes to wear in appropriate circumstances that would be fine.

Mate, it was a joke.

I have a challenge for you! Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

ooh um okay no pressure right just off the top of my head here are books

the newsflesh trilogy (feed, deadline, blackout) because those are some deeply upsetting zombie novels. very, very good, I highly recommend them, but wow emotions

tamar because I haven’t finished it yet but I have a feeling I know how it’s going to end and it’s going to upset me

watership down because fuck you I care a lot about those rabbits

squire because holy hell tamora pierce’s novels were a large part of my formative years you don’t understand. especially kel, kel was so important. I read them out of order so squire was my first.

dairy queen because it’s about a girl playing football and it’s light and very sweet and not at all upsetting like everything else in the list really perfect summer reading

water for elephants because circuses also I have this thing where where I read a book was important and I bought and read water for elephants in the philippines 

the book thief. When I finished it I sat down and thought “damn”. Also I cried.

crying of lot 49 we read it in my absolute favorite class ever in high school

i’m not tagging people because that is TOO MUCH PRESSURE I’M SORRY

[sauntervaguelydown]

Woah woah. Your tag for the Femslash Feb post? Kamikaze Girls? That should happen. You should definitely do that.

:DC

If I do, I’ll need to talk to Delano about plot stuff cause she read the novel and I did not. I’m lame I only watched the move. Like a dozen times.
