36, it/its || expect friends at the table fanart, cloudy skies, and mediocre watercolors (mostly safe for work, adult art is here: @adoringswarm.bsky.social)

I have a hc that Elena knows a bunch of partner dances from her time working in the mega dungeon tavern and Veile never had much opportunity to dance growing up let alone with anyone so Elena teaches her :3

maybe it’s time for a marielda relisten… one episode per week on thursday so i can pretend it’s fresh… marielda had already aired when i started listening to fatt, so i’ve only ever listened to it straight through! curious if drawing it out will change the flavor at all

proud of everyone for surviving 6 hrs of my driving on unmarked and unmaintained forest service roads (without cell service in pitch darkness) because the no-motor-vehicles-allowed “road” we’ve been taking to our secret campsite for years was finally physically blocked and we had to find another way

my partner sitting in the passenger seat of our prius (proven off road vehicle). Warren looks out the back seat window and you can see the makeshift divider that separates him from clover. fig isn’t visible, but he’s in the trunk. a lumpy roof storage thing is strapped to the top of the car.

my creative drive is still not talking to me but we Are at least going to have a fantastic garden this year! (if you’re in the pittsburgh area and want vegetables let me know..! we accidentally started more than we can plant, even after digging out the back of the yard)

a hole i dug in the back of the yard today to finish filling our raised beds. hard to tell, but it’s at least three feet deep! i had to dig a step into it  to get back out and hoist dirt into our wheelbarrow. note the gate between the barrow and the hole… required to keep the puppy out of itdelivering dirt to the last raised bed. my partner is putting in eggplants and clover watches in the background, flat on the driveway to keep coolclover-view of the dog pool and my partner watering some potted plants next to the first set of raised beds we put up this yearmy flower garden built up around an old stump, fenced in using clippings from the trumpet vine that i finally got around to trimming

sigh…. at least i gave into trust issues and kept my sfw and nsfw art on separate accounts more or less from the start here. do you think the pendulum of time will swing back before the remains of the online communities i loved completely dissolve?

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

was excited to see my spiderwort blooming, so i set up a little shelter with my poncho strung between the fence and a step ladder and foolishly used watercolors in the rain (painting a flower in the rain: also not smart, the water really weighed it down & changed the lighting)

spiderwort painting held up in front of my flower garden, taken in haste with a foggy phone camera because Warren was seconds away from leaping on me and destroying my shelter.. abruptly ending my painting sessionspiderwort bloom before the raincloseup of a painting of a spiderwort flower, visibly splattered with rain

flood warning notifications on my phone constantly the past few days but all we’ve got so far is “stream reaches its typical depth for the first time this year” (it’s still been raining often enough to make ppl complain but it’s not raining Enough (in Volume) for spring imho)

quick painting of a forgetmenot and the hint of some buttercups where the water barely touches them
