Xie Lian showing Hua Cheng around his house, Hua Cheng seeing all the… idk what word to use. Terrariums? Enclosures? housing invasive species, and suddenly realizing why he doesn’t generally see them around the garden

Xie Lian with a garden consisting of as many plants as he could find that are important to at risk bug populations in one way or another. Maybe that’s where he found Hua Cheng? Butterflies can be really picky about the type flowers they nectar on. Maybe the place Hua Cheng’s preferred flowers […]

Xie Lian doesn’t have any preserved bugs in his house. That’s for at work, home is a live bugs only zone! He raises bugs as a hobby, specifically any invasive species he finds. That way he can both appreciate them and make sure they aren’t contributing to at risk species being out competed and […]

@apprendere I’m not familiar with that one, what should I look up to find that? I feel like just looking up “ Big John” will show me a bunch of penises

@apprendere @spffnity.bsky.social YES. YES HE WOULD. Cinnabar is fine as jewelry, but don’t powder that shit, and DON’T put it anywhere near your MOUTH. One aspect of historical danmei that drives me up the fucking wall holy FUCK

@ghostygoo.bsky.social Xie Lian being the last one in like to get out and getting stuck in a cave in, shows up a week or two later just fine when he shouldn’t be breathing, coming back from similarity life ending situations enough that he eventually ends up becoming folk lore. On the bright side […]

@spffnity.bsky.social The second he sees a way to make something safer he’s making damn sure everyone actually doing that job knows about it, so whoever’s in charge isn’t able to say they “can’t improve safety standards” when they just don’t want to spend the money to do so

[dvawtk au, serial killers]

It would be incredibly easy to write a dvawtk modern au with Yin Hanjiang as a serial killer. You wouldn't even need to write any conflict between him and Wenren È about it if you didn't want to, those two are freaks about each other <3
Might elaborate later, brain […]

[Chronic illness struggles]

Fingers crossed I have the ability to shower tomorrow, I've been good and been using the wheelchair, I feel Extremely Icky and my shower chair doesn't fit in the shower very well. Even if it did, there's a step down from the yurt to the back deck where the wash house […]

Today our freezer was delivered, and we didn’t have cash so we tipped with spaghetti squash! The delivery folks were just fine with that :)

[Chronic illness stuff, positive]

Today and yesterday have been wheelchair days, and I’m very proud of myself for not making it worse by trying to walk today! I can do dishes in my chair, albeit with a bit of difficulty because our kitchen sink was NOT installed with that in mind, and our cat […]

I’ve finished transferring my current fic to Obsidian, and I’ve decided that the bit from Wu Ming’s pov is gonna be the start of chapter three. Waiting on my beta reader’s feedback to post! I’m fairly happy with the chapter and I’m very happy to be posting something after like. Eight months. Oops.

@mespinozart Yeah that’s what I mean. I couldn’t find a way to fix it, but luckily there is a place to suggest features! Just did that, because customizing the appearance of notifications would be awesome regardless!

@mespinozart fingers crossed, I’ve been digging through the settings and have yet to find anything related to that :(

@mespinozart I have a question. Is there a way to get rid of the little icons that show up next to notifications? Like the @ symbol shows up if I’m mentioned and a star emoji thing if someone likes a post. It itches my brain wrong

@mespinozart Fingers crossed! I still plan to go back to the Mastodon app if they fix it, that’s the easiest on my brain, but in the meantime this is fine :)

@mespinozart another thing that was fucking with me was the style of notifications. I’ve turned those off on Ice Cubes, and just haven’t uninstalled Mastodon so I still get them!
