and many more!!!

you can bet I’ll be reblogging my own post later CAUSE IM THAT B*TCH!

very useful - I’m just getting back into art (admittedly I’m doing it digitally rather than on paper now) - also lol - some relatives of mine have straight hair on half their heads and curls on the other. It’s something for sure.

I got an ask from someone who felt timid about drawing curlier hair and wanted some advice! This is by NO means exhaustive and is mostly just my thought process for my own stylization. There are tons of resources for drawing more textured hair, so for this I just wanted to focus on curls. hope it helps!

I need you to know that I’ve submitted a story of mine to watcher for the nest season of too many spirits - like if my story gets picked I’m going to making a whole separate blog for Shaniacs with ghost experiences - and will be publishing asks lol

Also yeah - go Shane! Go all of us! Like whether or not you believe in ghosts I always think experiences are just fun :)

okay so I’m going to try and make a poll here goes nothing -

(and if anyone asks me to define ‘experience’ ;-; it’s literally just want any believer would define as evidence for ghosts/supernatural/paranormal/other-worldly - use your brain or at least your blood imagination’

Nettles (alive, dead) and dock leaves

The stinging nettle (Urtica dioica): A bee sting in plant form. Both give you acidic stings, but whilst a bee will die after a single sting, the nettle holds no such melodrama. Importantly, the underside of the nettle has no stinging needles - using this, a nettle leaf can be folded and eaten. Quite delicious, but like oysters, it is best to only chew them just enough to experience the flavour. Unlike oysters, it is an established tea.

The dock leaf (Rumex obtusifolius): The apologetic, unassuming, elder sibling of our funny little trio. Never too far behind the stinging nettle, growing in the same habitat, it is a welcome gift for the unlucky or unwary. Simply crushing it's flat, broad leaf, arranged in small clumps, low to the ground, and rubbing the remains on the sting will greatly ease the pain. Unfortunately, as some kind of earthy punishment for irresponsible agricultural practices, or maybe it's simply prone to seasickness, it did not accompany the stinging nettle on its torment to Australia.

(Important note: it is NOT a certified doctor, and, in fact, does not hold any kind of medical certificate or degree).

The dead nettle (Lamium purpureum): Surprisingly, edible, and harmless enough. It's pretty pink-ish-purple flowers will ruin its disguise in certain seasons, along with its ever-present diminutive size. The dead nettle relies on the terrifying reputation of the stinging nettle to warn away anyone and anything. Yet, it you touch one, you will find no sting. Like if the spirit of the plant it pretends to be manifests in that sting, it finds itself lacking something it will never achieve. However, for the dead nettle, once that sting is proven absent, it's likely already dead - possibly uprooted for its uncanny skill of growing in driveways.

Srsly the coleydoesthings video is doing damage to my heart

like this is what I wanted this is what I needed

I've watched so many youtube videos on wish now it's probably not a good thing lol

another thing to be wary of are the chameleons of change - the ‘Many Hobbyists’ (often with ADHD) who can be found in all of the above locations - a true cosmopolitan species.

while generally friendly and receptive to guidance from native species they can easily become hostile. This is a survival strategy; they are fully aware that they are encroaching on ecological niches - and that the native fauna is far more suitable to survive in such habitats than they are. Rather than risk being chased out of the store (an unlikely scenario but an engrained survival instinct - residual from the past where these specimen were often alone in large areas and had no pack to rely on) they will instead lash out first and insist they know everything.

With their clever use of the internet and community spaces they are capable of slowing gathering a pack and are perfectly capable of integrating themselves into other ecosystems. Craft Ladies are the preferred target of a symbiotic relationship. The Many Hobbyists can venture further with greater ease, and bring back new techniques and materials. In exchange, the Craft Ladies offer guidance, expertise and protection.

Craft Ladies are uniquely suited to such a task as their overall social and calm nature makes them ideal to soothe a frightened Many Hobbyists, afraid of being seen as the weakest member of the pack.

in larger Craft Lady gathering, many packs will often introduce their resident Many Hobbyist to each other - a rare and delightful experience that would be difficult to naturally occur due to the scarcity and isolation of Many Hobbyists in physical spaces.

*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free

You deserve a calm love with somebody who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.
