find a friend-or-boyfriend like shinazugawa genya (aka someone u can fool into buying u food from his part time job at Wis-tea-ria House )
(dw oyakata-sama found out the order was for “kamado-kun and his friends” and reimbursed poor genya’s losses) (dw about muichiro either, yui tracked him down bc he did leave his wallet AND phone at home)
I made a new print-and-play! I always found the Genshin Impact characters so gorgeously-designed and a lot of my friends love it so I thought this would be a fun little project in between working on commissions!
Here’s a Genshin Impact retheme of “HANAMIKOJI”, a quick but strategic & competitive 2-player card game! It’s easy to setup and learn, and of course, fun to play!
Again, as this is an edit, it doesn’t go to the Ko‑fi shop, but you can download it for free in the Dropbox link below:
Wei Ying, w both his shinigami & hollow powers out of control, escapes to the human world tired & beat up! thankfully a human, Lan Zhan, finds him, but there’s a catch. the Lans are quincies - hunters of hollows & enemy of shinigami!
(lots of ramblings & plot stuff at the twt thread!)
for the first time in years there is a reported sighting of the elusive fugitive, Wei Wuxian! having proven their worth, JC & NHS were able to convince the other captains to let 6th Division handle his “retrieval”…
they find him! he is… chill? doing groceries in flipflops & sweatpants? aunties in the neighborhood know him? he doesn’t look anything like the deadly criminal they were told about, who let his shinigami powers be corrupted to become a monster who devours innocent souls.
he is very happy to see them, and when they tell him they are actually there to apprehend him, his only answer is this:
this idea has been frying my brain for weeks now so!! here!! BLEACH AU ft. Captain Jiang Cheng, the youngest captain of the Gotei 13 + Lieutenant Nie Huaisang, who nobody knows how he got there but he’s there anyway ♀️

When I first uploaded this drab looking specie of Fly to the blog last year, I had only found one on the leaves. With a name like “Cluster Fly”, you would expect many individuals grouping closely together and hanging around to enjoy the warmth of a new spring. While I can honestly say that the Flies I found weren’t exactly super close to each other, the warm afternoon weather caused many individuals to come outside and swarm around. It was hard to get a moment’s peace outside with Fly after Fly landing on me or nearby and needing to be shooed away. It wasn’t quite a cloud, but there could’ve been at least 20 Flies nearby, and maybe more if some flew away and others took their place! If this is what they’re like outside, just imagine what happens when they hide away in confined spaces during the winter such as inside houses! Have no worries because as pesky as Cluster Flies sound, they only enter houses to escape the cold. When winter arrives, they enter diapause and await the end of winter to become active again: with their metabolism slowed down, they won’t breed. Even if they wanted to breed indoors, Clusters Flies seem to rely on parasitizing earthworms with their eggs. Maybe if have any potted indoor plants you might want to check the soil if you’ve seen adult Flies near them.
A bigger problem that’s been reported with Cluster Flies is if they were to die indoors they may draw other predators indoors in search of an easy meal. Before searching your homes (inside and out) for a potential cluster invasion, remember that there are always signs you can watch for and ultimately they aren’t as big a pest as other types of Flies. They don’t tend to spread filth (beyond any germs in soil) and they feed on pollen from flowers rather than rotting material or garbage. I’d still recommend you wash your hands after handling them, and speaking of handling them, this is the first time I’ve ever stuck a finger out to a Fly and it actively climbed aboard. These insects aren’t skittish and react much slower compared to BlowfliesorHoverflies. While this makes me appreciative for the closer look at them, I do fear for their safety if they are sluggish aren’t predators. Perhaps the summer broods have more speed to spare, but if there is evidence to support that, I have yet to see it. If I find any answers, I’ll create a follow-up post, but these Flies tend to be overshadowed during the summer by the other flower-loving Fly species.

So I’m working at my desk, doing research for an online course and I hear a noise. It sounds like a low buzzing, and it also sounds much larger than an Asian Ladybug, a more common visitor in my warm when spring’s warmth arrives. I turn around, that there’s a large flying body zooming around the lights and flying around the room with great haste! I thought it might be a Western Conifer Seed Bug since they’ve appeared in my room before, but it was flying too quickly to be sure. Couldn’t tell until it finally settled down, but there’s something about insects and light, and it keep circling the lamps. By this point, I had closed the door to prevent escape into the house. After a few minutes of flying around and tension growing, it crashed behind a set of drawers. Searching for it, I found the visitor on my tennis racquet, upon which I got a good look at it. A Stink Bug has awoken up for the spring! When I went to get my phone, the little Bugger took flight and began to buzz around the room again! Argh!! At least we know what it is now.
While it has a compact, shield-shaped body, it can be startling to see the full length of the wings for that split second before flight. When at rest, Stink Bug wings are folded against the abdomen, the forewings conceal the hindwings until it’s time to fly. It just wouldn’t be possible to maneuver that wide body without powerful wings, so when it’s time to go, the wings unfold out and get flapping. Getting back to the story, it resumed flying around the room aimlessly, eventually crash landing on top of the drawers this time. No slowing down, just crashing to an abrupt stop! Thank goodness an insect’s armored body allows for that, even if it may be too much for some other body parts to handle. Poor thing was missing a leg and an antenna. It could be tough to fly without all your instruments working. I picked it up in a glass and put it out the window (and without any spraying of stink) so that it wouldn’t be a bother indoors. Just a little story for today. Try not to be too nervous about the insects that decide to spend the winter in a warm house. They don’t mean to be bothersome, but they just can’t stand the cold. Quite relatable!

Here we have the first video of the year, and wouldn’t you know it the Pavement Ants have gotten to work and are setting up their new colonies and territorial ranges for the year. Once again, a turf war (that extends fairly far out) is fought on the patio in hopes of maintaining a good spot for the colony to proliferate and enjoy the warm weather. The patio provides ample protection and environment thanks to the stones, lack of plants (except for mosses and small grasses) and the insects that traverse it, so no wonder it’s sought after! After the fighting ends and the territories are established, it returns to business as usual for the Ant colonies: foraging, exploring, defending, and ventilating the nest in the summer. The numbers of workers will soon shoot up again thanks to the diligent queen of the nest (and in some cases, 2 queens working together). The unusual thing to note is that despite the fighting and the massive Ant casualties as a result, in a matter of hours all traces of the battle will be gone! The next time I showcase a video of a colony conflict, I’ll make it a time lapse for as long as possible to see what happens when the dust settles and retreat is called.

Hey, y'all!!! In honor of NaruSaku day, I made a lil short fanfic, hehe. Hope you enjoy!
Sunshower: “A meteorological phenomenon in which rain falls while the sun is still shining.”
“Woahhh! Are you a doctor or something?” A voice echoed throughout the empty classroom. Or… well, she thought it was an empty classroom. In a flash, Sakura spun on her heel to see a boy standing in the doorway. Sunshine illuminated his tan skin and gave his blonde hair a golden glow. It was the new kid!
His eyes were wide in amazement. She couldn’t tell if he was faking the amazement or not. Some people did that to her. And they would then laugh and point with a mocking glint in their eyes. Was he gonna mock her too? She shouldn’t get excited at his interest. She should just stay calm and try to get him to leave.
Sakura sighed. “No, idiot. We’re both still in junior high. I’m not even old enough to volunteer at a hospital, much less be a doctor.”
The boy took a few steps forward, now fully in the classroom, pushing his fists in his pockets with an easy grin on his face. “Neh, aren’t you the smart girl in class? Could you blame me for thinking that you could be one?” He asked her, his bright blue eyes gleaming like the sea on a summer day. Sakura’s eyebrows lifted. He actually thought I was a doctor…?
“I…I am pretty smart!” She said, a grin appearing on her own lips.
His eyes brightened even further. “Yeah, you are! And you looked so cool, ya know? Walking around with the white coat and talking to that skeleton over there-” he pointed at the lifeless “patient” propped against a few desks, “- and with all the fancy words too! Like, checking his ‘vitals’ or something like that?”
Sakura beamed. “Yeah!!!”
“And ‘administering’ medicine?”
“Yeah!!” Sakura exclaimed once more. Naruto grinned even more at her expression. He took a couple more steps toward her, shrugging his backpack off so it hit the ground.
“Hehe! It’s pretty cool- do you practice in here?”
hey did a thing for NaruSaku Day yesterday but, well, I had Things To Do, a Trainwreck of a Tell All To Watch, so I only bothered with crossposting to twitter and discord LOL
С днем, когда наш солнечный блондин, обладающий талантами исключительной нарутотерапии, Наруто Минатович Узумаки, таки влюбился в такую сложную, но от того не менее очаровательную личность как Сакура Кизашевна Харуно.
Всем лучей поздней весны (до кого добралась сия дама).
