All I do is post dumb shit I made or want to talk about and like stuff on my dash lmao It's a miracle you're seeing this since I have little of interest here but I guess you like dumb OC stuff and the occasional goldfish. In that case, welcome to my really shitty blog and enjoy what there is. Also the pic above is a place holder until I can draw something kawaii. And yes I drew that. I'm so sorry.
I was reorganizing some of my shelves the other day, when I decided to answer a question I had for some time: “How many fucking Pokemon-related plushies and figures did I own??”
95. 95 fucking plushies. 93 are shown here (I bought a Snorlax and a Goomy after these photos). About 68 figures (+ 2 soon afterwards as well-- a Deoxys and a Lugia).
Most of these I had since I was a kid and slowly acquired over the years. The rest are ones I sought-out and paid for myself after I got a job. Almost all the figures I’ve acquired from my childhood. Only a few were ones I bought myself.
I... I am quite proud of my collection. I’ve always loved Pokemon, but never did I think I’d have so many fucking toys from this franchise. I can understand my cards (there’s so many and I keep fucking buying them for some reason-- there’s card packs I’ve opened and left all over my room), but not stuffed animals and figures.
But now that I work at Goodwill and have money, it’s fairly easy to acquire neat looking stuffed animals from both the store, the online store, and other not-Goodwill online stores (like Amazon). I have a few Boyd’s Bears that still have their original tags, and a Milestone Mickey plush, and some pretty teddy bears that match my bedding. And that’s just a few of the fucktons of plushies I have.
I-I’m not sure if this is an early warning of future hoarding issues, but I am impressed with myself over how many stuffed animals I have.
Yeah hey guys. Uh, I actually mostly forgot Tumblr existed for a while. My life has become kinda busy and I can hardly keep up on most of my online profiles (hence why my DeviantArt doesn’t update often anymore-- I can’t find time to fucking draw).
But having remembered I have an account here, I checked in and to my surprise, I still have some followers. So I might as well let you guys know what’s been going on.
First of all, if you clicked the read more and are seeing my shitty theme, I know it’s shit and I can’t code worth a damn nor find time to make a cute pic at the top of my persona. Forgive the eye damage. Someday I might actually use something that’s not a sore.
But anyway, I have my two 55gal fish tanks still. The first tank, which has Cosmo, Comet, Star, Jupiter, and Mars is still going strong. I moved my ramshorn snails to the other tank and bought a really cute gold inca snail I named Venus for this tank. The second tank has had some issues. The pet store fish I’ve bought have had issues, save for 2 of them. I had my pond fish in this tank temporarily for the winter, and one of them, Mercury, died the other day from a weird injury. It was a fresh one because he was fine this morning, looked really good, and then when I went to feed them, he was dead and bleeding. He hadn’t been acting weird, and none of the other fish had shown weird behaviour. Ghost Eye and Princess are just fine. My Wal-Mart fish have had no issues whatsoever (hell, NONE of the fish I adopted at Wal-Mart have died or been sick, which is weird compared to my local pet store’s fungal issues. So far, I have 4 fish from Wal-Mart). Luna is going strong and getting cuter every day, and Sol (a cute fantail) is doing ok. In order to keep my niece and nephew from bawling at the loss of Mercury, I’m going to get another fish soon after I evaluate and investigate what could have killed him.
I counted all my Pokemon plushies and I discovered I have 95 fucking plushies of JUST Pokemon (I easily have over 100 more non-Pokemon plushies). I did take pics of 93 of them (bought 2 more soon after lmao), and will probably post them here soon. I also have like 70 figures (2 more after the pictures, so about 68 in the photo I have) and managed to get a mint-condition Mewtwo and Poliwhirl 23k gold-plated cards with their display cases (the Pokeball and plastic covering), as well as the certificates still sealed. Thank you based shopgoodwill.com. Nephew found another Mewtwo at Goodwill in the fucking toy bin for $.49. It’s been worn a bit and has no display cases, but it’s still a gold card.
Oh yeah, this is kind of a big one, but I have a date on Friday. A real fucking date. I never had one before, so I’m kind of excited. My guy is gonna take me to see either the Peanuts movie or Star Wars Episode 7. We’re not officially a couple yet, since I’ve only met him twice, but he seems nice and we share some interests, so I’ll see where this goes.
I know I mentioned one of my dogs dying in a previous post long ago in either September or August, but Casey’s death is still hard for me since his twin sister is still around. I know she misses him when she has to be home by herself, and Lacey’s become more clingy since his passing. I thought about getting her a toy that she can cuddle with and have as a companion. I already got her a nice dog bed that she fell in love with immediately, and it’s placed next to my bed, so she sleeps with me at night. I’m trying to do what I can for my sweet Lacey.
But all in all, that’s about it. Work has kept me tired, so that’s why I don’t post much online anymore. Maybe if it lightens up and the new girls could stop fucking calling off so I can catch a break...
What do you guys think Papyrus does for Sans on his birthday?
I can totally picture it now... Paps lets Sans sleep in (by knocking loudly on Sans’ door to notify him he can sleep in and also happy birthday), then prepares a special breakfast of spaghetti with ketchup instead of pasta sauce, with a glass of ketchup to drink. For a gift, he makes Sans a t-shirt that says something cute like ‘WORLD’S COOLEST BROTHER’ and makes a card (looks like a 5 year old made it) with doodles of Paps and Sans doing something cool (like flexing in front of an explosion with sunglasses on).
Sans, of course, loves this (his brother IS cool, after all!), and immediately dons the shirt after eating the spag (it’s better than usual so it’s edible). Papyrus then offers to do various activities with Sans, like watch science fiction ‘annie may’ he borrowed from Undyne (who borrowed from Alphys), go to Grillby’s for lunch, walk Sans’ pet rock, build him a sentry station (out of a cardboard box), and even try to complete a crossword with Sans.
At night, Paps offers to read Sans a bedtime story (instead of the other way around), and halfway through Peek-a-Boo with Fluffy Bunny, Paps passes out (he put himself to sleep). Sans didn’t fall asleep so he puts a blanket on Paps, tells him thanks for the really cool birthday, and puts his card in a drawer in his desk where he keeps all his birthday cards from Paps (all of them look like they’ve been drawn by a child).
Considering I got Undertale recently, I can’t go without making fanart of the two best characters in the game. Sans and Papyrus are seriously adorable and I fucking wish I could marry Paps. He’s the biggest dork jfc ;_; How can anyone murder a guy that believes in your ability to be a better person even after killing everything around you??
I feel like making a positive post. So you know what?
Don’t let anyone tell you you’re invalid. Don’t ever let them do it. Your experiences, your thoughts, feelings, opinions... YOU are valid. You have a right to your opinions, and every right to express them, and no one can tell you otherwise.
Also, you are special and important. Hell, you are every bit as important as the person next to you. You are not trash, or worthless. No one has the right to make you feel so. Those who do are wrong and are not worth your time.
Please, try to be positive about yourself. Be happy to be true to yourself. You matter.
It’s getting colder and my parents have made me use my second 55 gal (which has Luna the little black moor in it) to put the two common goldfish and a fantail from the pond in it. The fantail, who my nephew named Ghost Eye, I guess is fine in this tank, and he’s maybe 3 inches or so long. He’s not very big compared to the fish in my main tank. The two commons tho are maybe 5 inches long (they look about Cosmo’s size). Our pond isn’t very deep and my parents don’t know much about fish, despite my trying to help them learn and get interested. I like the pond fish (my niece and nephew pick them out and named them), but I don’t know if they’ll be ok in my 55 gal with my baby black moor and pearlscale (not Star- I had recently gotten another one shortly before my dog died that I named Sol the Second) until my parents will let me put them back in the pond.
I’m worried because the commons are already so big, and I know that a 75gal is the minimum for one of those things (iirc, could be more). I don’t want them getting too big for the 55 gal during the time they are in it. Would they be ok from now til maybe March? I have no other place for the pond fish, and I know no one who could take care of them...
Lacey seems to be ok so far. Lord only knows how sad she’s going to be when she realizes Casey’s not coming back. She’s laying next to me right now, her tail wagging. She just got done playing fetch with a ball- her favourite game- and I just finished cuddling her (she loves that too).
Once she realizes Casey’s gone for good, how am I going to be able to comfort her?
So, I had to put down one of my dogs tonight. Casey, my 10 year old chocolate lab, collapsed tonight when I was at work. His spine just fucking gave up it seemed where his back legs are. He couldn’t get up at all, and when my dad came to where I worked and had me leave early to get to my dog. When I got home, Casey was panting really hard and sitting kinda like a person with their legs out. It looked painful for a dog. I immediately burst into tears at the sight, and we called my sister-in-law and brother, getting them to come over and help us get Casey into the van so we could rush him to an emergency room.
We managed to get to the vet about an hour later, and we got him checked in. They examined him for what seemed forever, then said he had a spinal injury, possibly a tumor. They weren’t sure because they couldn’t do a full examination due to my mom and I being unable to afford it. My mom couldn’t find a treatment offer that we could afford, and we ultimately had to decide to have him put down. (Even if we found a treatment, we’d have to drag his heavy body around outside and help him go to the bathroom, which could set him up with an urinary tract infection...)
We’re home now. I hugged and kissed my beloved Casey goodbye, and every time I stop crying I start again. Lacey, his sister, is going to realize soon that he’s not coming back, and she’s going to go into a depression too. It’s really going to be hard to cope with this. I grew up with my dogs- had them since I was 11.
I...I just really need to talk to someone about this. I’d use people I know irl, but I wouldn’t be able to speak coherently between sobs. I’m angry, and frustrated, and sad... I hate how it was sudden, and I hate that we couldn’t afford to try to help him (even though it would probably be futile in the end- vet said they might not be able to do anything anyway). I hate that I’m going to probably call his name when I call for Lacey to come inside, forgetting that he’s not here anymore and then remembering and then breaking down over it. I’m going to hate looking at Lacey as she looks at me, wondering where her brother is...
I see all this hate lifters get and I saw a lot of people don’t have jobs… Any other lifters like myself who do have jobs? I only make minimum and I’m part time so it’s a struggle, still curious to see if anyone else does too.
Just save back a small portion of your paycheck and save up. It’s not that hard, you know. I get paid around $320 every other week (I make close to minimum wage iirc), and my grocery bill is luckily about $100 or so depending on how many treat meals I want to get myself (a more expensive brand of a thing I usually get, or an expensive snack food for example). They’re treats for a reason, since I try not to spend over $100 so I can guarantee I have enough for next week. If I need to save up for something or need to buy something right now that’s expensive (a birthday present), I just cut back on what I buy (I don’t REALLY need a carton of soda- I can just drink milk and water or fruit juice. Bam just saved like $6) until I have enough for the thing and groceries or until the spending cycle I have returns to balance respectively. Hell, I cut back sometimes because I have a few bills to pay (almost $90 altogether for phone and medical-not that much compared to other people, but to me it’s a lot. Thank god I live with my parents).
You should seriously reconsider things if you’re on a tight budget. Do you REALLY need the thing you want to lift? Is it something you ABSOLUTELY have to have in order to live? If it’s just a thing you WANT but not NEED, then just save up for it or go without. If you’ve got a job, you’re in the real world now. Learn to compromise over such situations. Don’t risk your job for a thing you don’t actually need. It’s seriously not worth it.
I’ve had a job for two years, it’s nothing new to me so I don’t really understand why you’re saying “you’re in the real world now”. I have a kid to feed, rent to pay, and car insurance and gas every month which takes up easily all of the money I make. Just because I have a job and money is tight doesn’t mean that I can’t still lift things I want to have for myself to feel good every once and a while, because there is no way I can’t even afford rent alone without the child assistance I get from the government, never mind having to get off brands or skip something once and a while to save. My money barely/sometimes doesn’t cover even my necessities.
You didn’t show any context in the original post that you had kids. (I guess shame on me for assuming you were one of those teens that are apparently most of the ‘lifting community’) Being in a situation like that, I would put that in a gray area since you obviously are trying to be responsible and take care of yourself and kid. Sympathies in that regard and I hope things improve for you and your child. I still think lifting things that aren’t necessary is wrong though (and as I mentioned, try not to risk your job. It would suck really hard if you lost your job and things got worse, you know?). Some of my coworkers have had to take on two jobs to make ends meet or have extra money (which I know isn’t easy, especially if you’re scheduled to work both jobs on the same day), so I’d suggest trying it. There has to be some alternative to stealing that won’t risk your job, even if it’s not an easy alternative.
I rented Bayonetta the other day because it looked like fun and holy fucking shit I love it. I really want to own it now omg.
And as a side note I picked up Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from Goodwill, despite never playing a MGS game before (I typically suck at games like that), and I’m having a fucking blast. I can’t stealth worth a damn, and I literally have no idea what the fuck I’m doing, but I made it to a cave and got the croc cap. I really am tempted to go through the rest of the game wearing the croc cap. Does anyone know if it would fuck my camouflage % if I wear it with something that doesn’t match (like that scientist outfit I’ll need later)? Also, does the tranq gun have replacement silencers I can get? I totally used the original one up and I can’t tranq people without the whole damn area knowing. How the hell am I supposed to tranq, loot, and then stab to death everyone if I can’t tranq without being heard??
In the future, I might try to get a betta fish. I have a 10 gallon tank and a 20 gal. Which would be better for a single betta? They like it heavily planted as well, since it gives them hiding places and stuff, right? What would be good plants for them? I’m not getting one right now, but possibly within a few months o:
I’m kind of wondering if anyone’s ever seen a Wal-Mart with a decent fish section. I know they are typically horrendous with their fish care, but there has to be at least one store out there that actually does a decent job of taking care of their fish...
My local Wal-Mart was pretty decent until the guy who worked there (and was actually doing a good job for the most part- there was less sick/dead fish and cleaner tanks when he was around) either got fired or quit or something. Now it’s pretty bad :/
