Knock Out Honey Bees

blackcatofmisery: Snoopy from Peanuts by Charles Schul (Snoopy heart)
[personal profile] blackcatofmisery posting in [community profile] common_nature
My mom's garden has a vigorous knock out rosebush just beside it, and various bees adore it. Although I'm severely allergic to bites and stings, I will still follow honey and bumble bees; they're too busy to care about me.

Fun fact about me: I cannot smell typical roses. Knockouts are the only roses I can smell.

Pinch hits revealed!

vriddy: Jacket Hawks with a cocky smile (cocky hawks)
[personal profile] vriddy
While I was actively writing BNHA fic a couple of months ago, I also ended up picking up a couple of pinch hits which have since been revealed!

Exploring Hawks' complicated relationship with his mother in [community profile] unsent_letters_exchange:

Appendix B | Hawks & Toomie | 1.2k words | rated T
Summary: At sixteen, a week after being taught how to break into a computer, Hawks breaks into the Hero Public Safety Commission's database to look up his own file. Whatever he expected to find in there, it didn't include dozens of letters from his mother.
Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

And indulgent Dabi/Hawks vampire AU for the [community profile] fangfrenzyficexchange :D

Addiction in the making | Dabi/Hawks | 1.4k words | rated T
Summary: Hero society's best kept secret might be that every Pro Hero in the Top 10 is turned into a vampire. Dabi knows, though he doesn't realise that Hawks' secret is a little different...

say hello to Indiana

lizardjay: a friendly cartoon duck (duck)
[personal profile] lizardjay posting in [community profile] common_nature
At the end of last month I visited Indiana for a week, and in that time went on FOUR hikes. There are too many pictures to put here so I'm posting a link to my ~150 picture album: My sister and I are both very into taking pictures so the hikes were very slow :D but I think it really helps in remembering that there's something interesting to see in pretty much every square inch of the outdoors. There is always a bug, or a fungal disease on a leaf, or a shiny drop of water.

The Album

We visited, in order:
  • Ritchie Woods Nature Preserve
  • Summit Lake State Park
  • Shades State Park/Pine Hills Nature Preserve
  • Southwestway Park

The pictures feature:
  • many, many insects
  • a stately gentleman frog, who very kindly let me get within an inch of him
  • snails
  • two snakes
  • cool looking plants/fungi
  • general landscapes

For the most part the locations are broken up by a couple non-nature photos, except for Southwestway Park (which begins at the photo of the yellow spider in the web). Once you get to the art museum pictures there's no more nature, unless you count the clouds outside the plane window.

full_metal_ox: A National Geographic cover mock-up, with three marigolds in an analogous orange-yellow color harmony. (Nature)
[personal profile] full_metal_ox posting in [community profile] common_nature
Content advisory: the following images portray animal decomposition and a messy (though not scatological) plumbing mishap, respectively.

This is the very first photo I took in the process of exploring my new surroundings in Florida. I was recovering from a lengthy illness and a lengthy road trip, and coming to terms with a discombobulating succession of life upheavals; accordingly, I began with a local animal in no condition to evade me.

This roughly crow-sized bird (species and cause of death unknown) lay in an oddly heraldic position suggesting a necromancer’s coat of arms, on the disheveled curb strip of a business that was both recovering from Hurricane Ian and changing hands—likewise in a state of transition. The red spot at heart level is a dried wild fruit of some sort.

Some while later, I suffered a clog of mysterious blue-gray residue in my bathroom sink (don’t worry; it’s long since been dealt with, although not conclusively explained)—and was fascinated by the delicate poinsettia-like radial pattern created when the water finally receded.

Community Thursday

vriddy: Hawks waving and leaving (bye bye)
[personal profile] vriddy

Community Thursday challenge: every Thursday, try to make an effort to engage with a community on Dreamwidth, whether that's posting, commenting, promoting, etc.


Over the last week...

Chit-chat on [community profile] bnha_fans.

Signal boosts:

  • [community profile] worderlands' next event at the end of the month will be a daily 3-sentence flash fiction challenge. I know a few people in my circles enjoy that kind of event!
bluapapilio: Ichigo and Grimmjaw from Bleach (bleach grimmichi)
[personal profile] bluapapilio

Chapter 157 reread: I don't remember much details about what happened last, just that the Black Order was attacked and there was a lot of fighting and near deaths and also real ones.

Kanda and Allen are back at it with their bickering even while injured. X'D

Lavi: "Next thing I knew, they'd wagered their hair. Now it's turned into an all-out brawl."

Lmao at everyone's reactions to Lenalee's blood bracelets. At least she'll always have blood to spare because of her period.

Chapter 158: Some interesting perspective on the Noahs and their dynamics. Tyki has an older brother named Sheril (or Cheryl, or Cyril or...) who married a woman with fragile health in order to adopt Road.

Allen was 'the 14th, revealed to be the pianist'. Count doesn't know why he let him live that night.

I guess the Earl's looks have changed??

Chapter 159: wtf happened to Arystar??

Allen with long hair ahhh. Miranda should've braided it. And Kanda and Lavi got shrunk!!

They're leaving the castle HQ and building their next place? Was there no other castle to take over?

I almost passed out wheezing when Lenalee and Bookman got hit with the potion again and started meowing.

Chapter 160:


🤣❤️️

space saver
The Head Nurse is so scary normally they didn't even notice anything off until she bit Allen;;

Lmao at their reaction to Miranda biting Marie. Side-note, why did they have so much trouble drawing him in the anime? Ack.



I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT TIMCAMPI HAS TWINTAILS I CAN'T

I laughed so hard at the extra comic about Hoshino-sensei and her sister when they were little. 😆

June Movie PTW List

bluapapilio: Teddy bear charging drained battery (line battery charging)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
Using my movies boardgame.

I completed all the movies in my last challenge and had a pretty good time! I rated Unwelcome the highest at 4/5 stars and The Worst Witch second highest at 3 1/2 stars.


Avatar:
Fantasy (re-draw a prompt once)

Roll #1

A 9, prompt: non-US centric. Picked Phenomena, a 2023 Spanish film.

Roll #2

Another 9, prompt: LGBTQ+. I Saw the TV Glow.

Roll #3

A 10, prompt: longest titled. I think I did this last time but I shuffled and chose from the first page, which ended up being Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.

Roll #4&5

A 1, the luck ran out? Oh shit it really ran out, trap tile time... Okay a 2. 😭 Prompt: highest rated. So this is sorta cheating since I already watched like 80% or so of it but it's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Actually I might just rewatch from the beginning or skim.

Roll #6&7

A 10 and right back on the trap tile WTF, is this pick on me hour? A 9, prompt: came out within the last year. Fear Street: Prom Queen!

Roll #8

An 8, prompt: comedy element. Hmm I'll give 2011's Detention a go.

Roll #9

A 6 and the end. Reward is... My mood sucks this is too hard I'll just pick something under the adventure tag...and that's Jurassic World Rebirth.

Most looking forward to watching: Jurassic World Rebirth because dinosaurs.
Least looking forward to watching: Professor Marston and the Wonder Women because I don't know fully what to expect.

Movie PTW Watch:

[Horror/Comedy] Phenomena
[Drama/Horror] I Saw the TV Glow
[Romance/Drama] Professor Marston and the Wonder Women
[Animation/Multiple] Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
[Horror/Mystery] Fear Street: Prom Queen ✔️
[Horror/Comedy] Detention
[Adventure/Sci-Fi] Jurassic World Rebirth ❌

So when I was picked stuff off my letterboxd I forgot to check if Jurassic World Rebirth was even out yet, aha...haha.
