Meet the Artist!

Hello, internet stranger who has come to my blog! I'm Papaya, and sometimes I do things and have thoughts. Mostly I'll be posting my art here (which will probably be fan art for whatever I'm currently obsessing over).

Currently I'm making the VSMP Reverse AU

I'm also taking commissions!

And now I'm also on Art Fight

Majoring in creative writing was a colossal mistake that ruined my life financially artistically socially and spiritually BUT i got to read aloud from My Immortal to a crowd of twenty horrified bystanders for academic credit. So I broke even

The assignment was to bring a story written by someone else and share the first paragraph with the class. Nowhere in the assignment description or the syllabus did it specify that the story had to be good

one of the many reasons to insist upon chronological timelines is that it's much, much harder to scroll forever if you can catch up with yourself. if you can run out of tumblr because you reach yesterday, that is a good and helpful prompt to do something else.

Realised I never posted this headcanon as a stand alone thing, it’s only mentioned in one of my long fics, but it’s something I feel deeply in my heart:

Abolish Veylocke is *almost* ambidextrous, but he is technically left handed. He uses a sword in his right hand so his dominant hand is free to wield a stake.

Finding out that Pearl's parents had their irl home moved by having it chopped in half and moved on two trucks actually makes sense. This is a genetic problem. She's seen it happen in real life and now she knows it's possible. Father and Mother Moon created a monster.

I can’t speak for Pearls family obviously, but as an Australian this is relatively common. Especially in rural areas

To clarify, this isn’t like brick houses or anything modern built into a foundation. It’s mainly old wooden houses that are up on stilts. Generally the stilts are for airflow and sometimes because you live in an area that floods

Sometimes people semi build them in with like fencing (above left), as like an entertainment area or for storage or parking. They aren’t always up high enough to stand under though, some sit quite low, and again they are for airflow so completely building them in would defy the point

That said, some people do choose to convert the underside to inside. But generally those aren’t the ones you see being moved. And are in an area where they aren’t as worried about flooding

This is a look at the process for moving/re-stumping (changing out the stilts if they are rotting). To be honest I couldn’t tell you how it’s done, but it looks impressive watching a house be lifted and carted away

Most of these style of houses started off fairly small, like 4/5 rooms and a porch, so they will fit on a single truck. Bigger houses are chopped up and transported in chunks

Generally when you see one of them on the highway it means pulling over so they can pass. They have several cars escorting them with lights and signs (and sometimes police) so you know when you are approaching one. They also try to move them at quieter times, like late at night so there are less people on the road. They do not sneak up on you

There are entire businesses that deal in second hand houses. Buying, selling and moving houses that would otherwise be bulldozed. Occasionally you will see several houses just sitting on a lot on temporary stilts, but I couldn’t find a good image to show
