Using A Mechanical Pencil Is Great Until You Put The Wrong Size Lead In And It Stops Working ;-;

Using a mechanical pencil is great until you put the wrong size lead in and it stops working ;-;

I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:

They were free.

They were fucking free.

They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.

Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.

Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.

At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.

In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.

Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.

That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

Well, now I need to figure out everyone's favorite flowers

I feel kinda dumb for asking this, but what is the irl equivalent of the flowers in the game? I think I know the Salfila; the Liliarne, but I'm not sure about what Rosalide and Krio Firosafa are. I think Salfila would be a sunflower and Liliarne would be a lotus. help ;-;

They're heavily inspired by real-world flowers, but I also kept them a little vague because it is a fictional world, and thus perhaps the flowers look a little different!

I believe salfila is a sunflower; liliarne would be a water lily/lotus; rosalide would be a rose; and kriosafa would be dandelion or any weed that grows in small patches found in unlikely areas.

Excited to have the excuse to do explain them, though! Thank you so much for asking 💕💕

I didn't use the right tag originally... oops

I tried drawing my MC Aster from @fallenlightsif with her brother Ezrah. I'm not entirely sure how old they'd be in the picture, but I think Aster would be 5 or 6 ish?

Anyways, here are the adorable siblings! The line work isn't quite right, but I can't really fix it so I'll pretend there's nothing wrong (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

In some black communities there’s still a stigma that kinky or coarse hair is “bad”, which couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no such thing as good or bad when describing someone’s natural hair texture or type. To those struggling to love and accept their natural hair because of societal pressures, remember this - straight, curly, kinky or wavy, it doesn’t make a difference. Embrace your hair the way it is, no matter what society tells you. All hair is good hair. It’s your Crown.
