Life with a pen

Hi there! Name's Maria but I've been called with many different nicknames by now! Aja, SaZuNo, Hotaru - you decide :D Consider buying me a coffee! Born in 1994 and ready to rumble! Please dodn't expect any quality of this blog as I'm not that quality-giver as other people but you're welcome to stroll and take a breather here :) I sometimes even post my own art! WOW!

for the love of god, do not use chores to punish your kids!!!! it's just going to make them struggle deeply to keep their houses tidy as adults since you made them associate necessary chores with punishment and suffering, and it's going to take years of therapy to undo. don't use chores as punishments!!!

[mousegirlheart]

oh man all these people having the horrifying realisation in the tags on why they struggle so bad with chores is breaking my heart

[mousegirlheart]

im giving everyone in the tags a hug if thats okay im so sorry

[wolfspen]

Can we also add so that people WON'T belittle or laugh at their children when they do the chores? "Oh, looks like THE PRINCESS finally decided to DO SOMETHING" is not helping with chores at all

Literally how y'all???

[wreckitremy]

Do you not have bees where you live? Or is it that you are suprised there's that many ppl who haven't?

[octopusdreamsofaquaticsheep]

What are you all doing to get stung by bees?? They literally let you pick them up and pet them if you're calm. I've had them land on me loads and just hang out for a while but I've never been stung?? They're just chill lil dudes.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

[secondlina]

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did

[z-a-d-i-e]

it's funny that this is getting notes again, because last night i went to the thai place in my neighborhood. it's run by a family and during covid times i ate there literally almost every day. later i cut back on eating out so much and hadn't been there in two years but last night we went and ate inside for the first time ever and the owner ran over to say hello and ask how i was, and repeated our old regular order. it was sweet. it's so easy to feel like you are an island, but stuff like this reminds you that you are part of a community.

The staff at my regular Dunkin used to see me coming and start fixing my coffee right away. I overheard two of them arguing once how I like my bagels ("yes, she does like it burnt!").

Some of the employees at the other local coffee shop I frequent know me by sight and compliment my quirky taste in t-shirts.

The woman at my favorite Chinese place knows I never want sauce or cutlery and always knows which bag is for me right away. She even joked with me the time I ordered something different from my usual.

And I like it. It makes me feel like a part of a community. I'm the kind of person who will chat with random strangers when I'm out and about, so it's nice for me.

But I can appreciate that this gives some people anxiety, because not every is good with that kind of interaction. Not everyone likes to feel seen.

And that's okay too.

I used to work across the street from a pizza place and would go over there for lunch pretty often. They knew I only ever wanted one slice of cheese so they'd have my slice heating in the oven when they saw me across the parking lot! One day their credit card machine was down, and I didn't have cash, but they gave me my lunch anyways. The next day I had to twist their arm to back charge me!

Love that kind of thing.

[wolfspen]

When we were still working from the office (now it's home office), I was buying a coffee from a small grocery store nearby almost every day. Soon enough when I just went inside, cashier saw me and went on th check if the coffee machine has enough milk for cause she knew I only drink latte. :'D

Also, there is a grocery store near where I live and we go for groceries once in two days or so. We only eat chicken, and I ask for "one singular chicken breast". So this one lady, when she sees me, she always asks "one singular chicken breast? :D"

It's nice, really

Explain your reasoning plzzz

[parkayquarts]

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

[motsimages]

Absolutely.

[wolfspen]

I really like "somebody expired". Like... excuse me sir, you are past your expiration date, could you... you know... expire already?

[greelin]

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

[thisgameissonintendo]

omg if you feel like it you can always ask me random questions. i will answer all, this is literally the most fun thing ever (and i’m nice i promise)

[neetbunny-blog-deactivated20240]

Eventually on my blog , give it a few more days...

[sylvyspritii]

Hello, yes, do this to me please, ask me random questions, it's okay!

[shochmonster]

One thing I really, really love about FFXVI is how many big, burly men show their emotions. Society often seems to tell guys that you can't cry or show weakness if you are to be seen as masculine and I just love that this story leans into being both strong and emotional for male characters that channel a lot of testosterone.
